His vow Came to an Anti-cIimax.

A much-bearded man rambled into a
barber shop and submitted to shave,
haircut, shampoo, SINCE, mas
sage and everything else the barber
could think of, at the same time listen
ing with keenest enjoyment to the
tonsorialist's remarks about all things
on earth and in the waters under the
earth. So long before that he had for
gotten the gentleman's name and
what office he was running for the old
man had vowed never to be shaved or
shorn until So-and-So was elected.
When he at last awoke to realization
that nobody cared if he never shaved
he concluded to shave just to show 'em
that he didn't care whether they cared
or not.-Kansas City Star.

Harsh Judge.

Judge Stephen c. Greene, at din
ner in Charleston, was defending
harsh sentence.
Il am a conservative said Judge
Greene, and l believe that it is bet
ter for law and order that sentences
should err on the side Of harshness
rather than on the side of lenity.
Look at nature, the great Judge of
us all. Was there ever harsher,
severer Judge than nature, who SEN
fences each and every one of us to
hard labor for life?"

The Great American.

One hundred and five years ago the
First Great American was born IN
cabin in Kentucky.
Great men we're not lacking in
America before Lincoln, but they
were not of the soil of our new land.
Washington was colonial country
gentleman; Jefferson cosmopolitan
revoIutionist; Hamilton a reincarnate
patrician of old Rome.
1t was left for Abraham Lincoln to
gather up and embody the character
istics of the nation he was born to
save; boyish humor. homely wit, keen
vision and unflinching purpose.

S1OO. 600. 600 In Three Years

1t is estimated the above amount
has been spent for military ar
craft during the past three years.
Great Britain, France and Germany
lead in the Development of this
brand of science. The fact that an
airshiu can be built, operated ana
housed for but d fraction OF the
cost of a battIeship has increased
the interest IN this form Of pro-
lection. France has the greatest
number of aeroplanes, 1900, and
Germany the greatest number OF
dirigibles. The perfection of a
high power sun, which can be fired
without serious reooil, coupled with
experiments in dropping as much as
400 lbs, of high explosive from
these craft. has fixed their utility
| in time of war.
Russia, Austria and Italy are not
prepared for aerial warfare as the
other nations, but their fleets will
be very valuable for reconnols-
sance and scouting. The part play
ed by these terrors of the air will
| be watched with a great deal OF
Interest. No, the Phillips Hard
ware Co. does not sell aeroplanes,
but most everything else.-Adv.4- 1t

Mr.. Smith is the son OF the famous evangelist,
Gypsy Smith, who is known on every English
speaking continent. He will tell of the Gypsy
race their habits, manners, customs; will tell
how his father was converted in Gypsy tent
and how he came to preach the gospel.
The Gypsies are a remarkable race. There
isn't man woman in the world who has been
able TO trace their origin and Mr.. Smith with

life story OF Gypsy Smith as told by his son,
one would really think it fiction. SO years ago
this family was living in Gypsy tent, outsiders
from society ignorant not able to read or write,
with little no religion, and today some of that
family have become world known-no less than
