Luther Taylor of Indianapolis spent
his vacation at Bass lake, with a num-
Der of Indianapolis people. One night
they went to Knox in Clearance Dolls
auto. Mr.. Doll wished to get his shoes
mended and the entire party went
down the stairway into the shoe shop
with him.
We'll, l see you have nearly every
thing in Stock said Mr.. Taylor. He
had noticed shoestrings and other ODDS
and ends that may be found in small
town shoe repair shop.
Yes, we keep bout everything" re.
piled the shoemaker
We'll, I'll take a nickel's worth of
roasted peanuts" said Mr.. Taylor,
with the air of having stumped the
shoemaker on the everything" propo
sition.
Certainly" said the shoemaker
pulling out a sack which he had on his
bench under a newspaper, evidently
for his own consumption. And his
companions swear that the Indanapo
lis man was SO taken aback that he
paid for them.-Ildianapoli News.

Music for Children.

1t is never too early to draw the at
tention of little children to music
They love rhythm; let them clap their
hands, and stamp their feet in time to
some little march or jig played for
them. Then let them hear a little
song repeated often, or two songs of
different character, one sad, one gay;
they will soon ask for more, and learn
to sing themselves. Music will become
for them the means of self-expression,
beneficient outlet of pent-up nervous
energy, leading their little feelings
into channels of cheerfulness, posi-
bly, averting illtemper, whining inertia,
and dulness. A little drill done to
music as a game win be helpful to
mother and children. There are &C
ton songs published for kindergar-
tens, but a resourceful mother can
contrive something of the kind her
self according to the child's age.
Marching round the room with clap
of the hands on the first beat of the
bar first in four-four time, then three
four time, lastly six-time will make a
pleasing diversion for noisy little ones.
and help them to realize their sense
of rhythm. On nc account should the
children hear ragtime frequently, as
that will upset the natural sense OF
correct measure and accent.

Prison Reform Praised,

Law Notes makes this comment on
the recent prison reform in the state
of Washington by which the inmates
of the penal institutions are allowed
a small daily wage for their labor,
which is paid to their families:
aside from the humaneness of this
practice, it has its value in the ad.
minfstration of the criminal law, for
no one will venture to dispute that
many criminals who should be in
prison are at large because juries,
out of regard for the suffering OF
their families, have refused to convict
or judges after conviction have sus
pended sentence, or imposed light
sentence, out of regard for the same
fact. Of course with such a system
In force the reason for such unwar
ranted (from a legal view leniency
is removed, and the criminal receives
his just punishment regardless of fam
lily connections. And certainly IL the
state can make money out of the labor
of it's convicts, there is no good reason
why it should pocket the gains, leav
ing the family Of the criminal, in nc
way responsible for his misdeed, tc
bear the real punishment for his
crime"

The liuhts of London,

melodrama, 1.-THE Lights of London"
which, produced 80 years ago, in some
parts of the world is actually running

About 80 years ago." said Mr.. Sims,

EXPRESSION Is Old One.

The expression the devil to pay
and no pitch hot is of nautical origin,
according to Brewers Dictionary Of
Phase and Fable" which says: The
devil is a seam between the cardboard
strake and the keel. and the pay is to
cover it with pitch. In former times,
when vessels were often careened for
repairs, it was difficult to calk and pay
this seam before the tide turned.
Hence the locution, the ship is car
eened, the devil is exposed, but there
is no hot pitch ready, and the tide
will turn before the work can be done.
(French payer, from paix, polk, pitchl
Here's the very devil to pay is used
in quite another sense, meaning:
Here's a pretty kettle of fish I'm
in pretty mess etc. A. T. C..

ABBOTT ACQUITTED
Tampa Northern Mail Clerk. Accus-
ed of Robbery, Cleared on
His Second Trial

Tampa, March Isl j. Abbott,
former railway mail clerk, tried for
.Sfhe third time on a charge of rob-
bing the mails of 10000 package
of currency, March %, 1911, was
acquitted here yesterday. The pouch
from which the package was taken
was discovered by the clerk in the
train to which it was transferred, to
have been cut open, but the conten-
ton of the government at the three
trials was that the hole was too
small to have allowed the escape OF
the package.
Several days after the robbery
the money was found secreted in a
hollow log in the woods near
Brooksville and not far from Abb
bolts home by Henry Horace, his
son and a negro who were hunting
The evidence against Abbott was
purely circumstantial.
At the time of the robbery sths
$4,000 package was en- route from
the Exchange National Bank OF
Tampa to the Bank of Clearwater.

broken and minor filings were dis
placed, but the structure of the bat

pected damage. It was estimated
that the ships 12-inch guns carried

cHlNA'S FUTURE OF INTEREST
Every Student Realizes the Possibili-
ties That Are Part of Country's
Present Development. -

China is tossing restlessly in her
age-long sleep. and shows signs of
awakening. This situation appeals to
most of the land-hungry European
nations are waiting at her bedside,
and are guessing as to her present
pathologic condition and her outlook
for future health and strength. Com
petent judges near at hand agree that
If China were to produce, soon, some
great leader, he would become the
center of capitalization for the sat-
urated solution of loyal sentiment,
which is latent in this mighty people.
Lacking such living leader, the Chi
nese may call upon Confucius, and
unite the several diverse provinces
under a potent bond of religious fer-
vor. However the influence of the
great ethical teacher may have waned
during the past century, he has not
become a negligible quantity, as the
recent surprising observance of hts
birthday fully attests. About week
before that date a circular letter was
sent to all the governors of provinces,
setting forth the virtues of Confueius.
The intention was that this statement
should be presented to local magis-
trates, and by them be brought before
the plain people. Thus way would
be prepared for the subsequent eleva-
ton of the great and honored sage as
the true leader of the new republic.
Naturally, we would expect him to be
held most highly in honor by the old
dethroned Manchu dynasty. Young
China" however, realizes that the
country greatly needs both a leader
and a religion, and that these two
needs could be met by a revival of
the Confucian cult probably in a mod
erniZed form. Twenty years ago the
sage's birthday was observed only
slightly and sporadically, but this year
there has been widely spread and
distinctly fervent expression of pub
lie devotion to him. Decorations, pro-
cessions and public meetings are re
ported from all the provinces. Young
China" is willing to concede much, II
only it can gather in most of the fac
tons, conservative and radical
throughout this heterogeneous nation
At one celebration, not far from Can
ton, hymns in favor of Confucius were
sung by four graduates of the Canton
Christian college; and the words were
set to the music of Eye Banks and
Braes of Bonnie Doom" and to ia
vorite Methodist melody. The effecf
of this years observances is to sug
gest the conjecture that China's awak
ening may have to be primarily re
1igious. and secondarily political

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is where the dan
ger often lies. You should realize
that these troubles often lead to
dropsy or Bright's disease. An effec-
tive remedy for weak or diseased
kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Resi-
dents of this vicinity are constantly
testifying.
P Y. Smith, 1906 Alachua Ave,
Gainesville, Fla, says: "One of my
family has been troubled with severe
headaches for years. She complain
ed great deal of pain in her back
and was very nervous. When Doan' S
Kidney Pills were heard of, she used

business. and the problem OF pro-
viding a sufficient quantity of eat
ables to feed the multitude became
n serious one before the day was
done and darkness fell from the
wings of night. Even at night the
rush continued and several roominK
