All Rioht In Heaven,

4 A lady of Somerset, England, be-
walled the loss OF a somewhat ill-bred
but extremely wealthy neighbor, who
had been very liberal in his help to her
country charities. "Mr. x is dead"
said she. He was SO good, and kind,
and helpful to me In all sorts Of ways.
He was SO vulgar. poor, dear fellow;
we could not know him in London,
but we shall meet him in heaven" :.

Eyes Of Fishes.

The eyes Of fishes are in constant
use except when they are asleep. Most
fishes have no eyelids, their eyes be
ing protected from injury by shiny
material or by a thick transparent
skin. The puffer, or swellfish, which
habitually burrows in sand at the
bottom of the water, has eyelids which
cover the eyeballs when closed, the
lower eyelid being larger than the
upper. ~ W. ts@5.1- '2 ~ -

What Has Patterson Done !

Col. Dick Green ably edits the
Upton Record at Covington down in
the Tenth District, where both the
Senatorial candidates live. His pa
per asks its readers the following
pointed questions. They are worth
reading:
LET those who think we are preju-
diced against Governor Patterson ask
themselves the following questions,
and answer them honestly as Demo
Gratis and citizens:
what success has Governor Pat
terson ever achieved, either as a pri-
vate citizen or as public official?
Did not his leadership result in a
twice divided and twice defeated
party in Tennessee?
lone blast of his bugle horn is
worth a thousand men (his support
ers say), but has it ever been sound
ed except in his own fox chase?
Where was he last year when Bry-
an Daniels, Frazier and Rye were
engaged in the life and death strug-
gle to redeem Tennessee to the Demo-
cratic party? Was he not writing
letters and kilograms to be used by
the Republican nominee for Cover
nor in Maine?
oo1, o1yar h Mr.
Patterson make a speech in behalf of
Democratic principles and policies ex-
cept when he himself was the party
nominee?
Can the voters of the State point
to a single measure introduced by
him as Congressman, or originated
by him as Governor that has adj
vanced the material or moral inter
ests and prosperity of Tennessee?
HAS he ever lost sight of self in
the service of any party or any
cause?
Did he not display the grossest
and ingratitude of which
a man is capable when he made
preparation to run against Bob Tay-
lor when Bob Taylor had voluntarily
offered himself a sacrifice in the vain
endeavor to save Tennessee to the
Democratic party-to save both the
party and Patterson himself from
the consequence of Governor Patter-
sons own acts?
What assurance have the voters
of the State that if elected he will
go to Washington and stay on the
job?
"Will not his nomination and cleo
ton mean six more years of strife
and discord in the Democratic party?
Can Democrats who are loyal to
Woodrow Wilson afford to vote for
Patterson, knowing that his nomina-
ton means that Tennessee will be
a doubtful State next year?
What sacrifice has Patterson ever
made for Prohibition, what service
has he rendered it except for pay,
and did he not wait to change his
mind on that question till local op-
ton became unpopular and Prohibi
tion an accomplished fact in this
State?"
