SOAP, THE oPPREssoR.
The folks at my house half the time
are thinkin' about dirt;
It sort OF gives EN- horrors, an they
act as If 1t hurt.
The sight Of Just little makes 'em
daffy as can be-
They're always washin' sumthin'. an
half the time it's me.
It amt because / wet my feet that
gives me colds an such;
'Tain't runnin' round that keeps me
thin--it's cause I'm washed so
much.
It does no good to tell 'em, they're so
stubborn. But hope
That some day they'll discover what
deceitful stuff is soap.
I tell you, very often when my hands
was clean and white
I've gone along to wash EN-, cause 1t
did no good to fight:
When I've stuck 'em in the basin 1t
was plain enough to see
The soap would make the water as
dirty as could be.
liz folks would give me half chance.
with soap that didn't cheat,
guess they'd be surprised to find I'm
nachurally neat.
I'd take on flesh and leave Off havin'
colds an such, know
AM no one could complain about the
parts of me that show.

Made Good His Guaranty.

You can't always tell by the exter-
ior of hobo just what is concealed
behind his ill-ftting, threadbare gar
ments.s Palatka has its fill quota Of
hoboes. They are here today and
gone tomorrow, and leave but little
Occasionally, provided
you can get a talk with some of them,
you will discover that behind frouz-
zy, ill-kept exterior there is hidden a
mine of tender human sympathies
and even brilliance of intellectual at
tainments. Not every man who
tramps is human direlect. Some
there be who are in the hobo class
but temporarily, and until such time
as they can better their condition in
life.
Here is case in point.
Something like year ago tramp
appeared in Palatka looking for work.
He was a roofer by trade and out of
employment, so he came south. While
in Palatka he looked about for roof
work to do. While down on Third
street he noticed that some of the
slate roofing on Col. Hilburn's house
and barn needed repairs. He sought
out the colonel and told him his roof
needed repairing, and that he would
like the job
Being a stranger, c |. Hilburn
naturally was little slow to assent,
but the tramp insisted that he could
do the work properly, and that HE
WOULD GUARANTEE 1T.
"But you are a stranger here" said
Col. Hilb1rn, "you will leave when
the work is done and l will probably
never see you again; your guaran-
tee doesn't amount to anything.
"Well," said the tramp, 81 can do
the work, and I will guarantee that
it will be done properly"
"All right" replied the colonel,
"go ahead"
The tramp did the work, and to all
appearances did it well. After it
was finished he called on Col. Hill
burn and received his pay, amount
ing to Sc.
A week or two ago as Col. Hill
burn was coming down Lemon street
headed for his law office, he was ac-
costed by man whom he didn't seem
to know. "You don't know me, Col
onel; | am the man who fixed your
roof last year."
80, yes" said the colonel, "you
are the man who guaranteed the
job"
eyes," said he, 81 am the man, and
have come to make good my guar
antee. Is there anything the mat
ter with the roof, now?"

 Under Oath.

A case of perjury in Which an ap- plicant for a position in the Wash ington navy yard has been sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, is re- ported by Charles, M. Galloway, act ing president of the United States civil service commission.
 An application was received by the scornrnissi on from a resident of the District of Columbia for examination for the position of motor vehicle op- orator in the Washington navy yard The customary question in the app1i- cation form as to whether or not the applicant had ever been indicted for or convicted of any crime or nisde- meanor, or arrested upon any charge, was answered in the negative. In the course of the routine through which applications for civil service examina- ton must pass it developed that the applicant in this instance had been arrested by the Washington police not less than 15 times since 1908. on charges including assault and battery. making threats and forgery, and had been convicted several times.
 As the statement of the applicant was made under oath, it was sub mitted by the civil service cornnais- sion that it constituted perjury and violated Sections 28 and 125 of the federal penal code, The offender pleaded guilty and was sentenced to serve two years in the penitentiarYh.

TREATMENT OF WOUNDS CHANGED
 BY WORLD WAR
New system Leaves Tissues
 Unimpaired By Germ Destroying Fluids.

< London. Aug. 13+A year of war has worked a revolution in the army surgeons method of dealing with the ordinary wounds of the battlefield. which, on account of the changed character of the projecti1es, are more severe than in previous wars In al most every instance of wounds from modern artillery. the broken tissues are found by the surgeon to have be- come infected by scraps of cloth or other material, on a scale without precedent. At the start, most of the surgeons relied on a stringent apph- cation of recognized methods of anti sepsis to combat this infection. The tissues we're deluged with powerful germieides. even strong carbolic acid being employed.
 The success of this method, how ever, was far from complete, and gradually a new system, based on well known principles, but entirely novel in application was substituted.
 One of the elementary principles of physics is that if a vessel contains two solutions of varying strength di- vided from each other by an animal membrane, liquid will pass from the weaker to the stronger solution until ultimately both are at the same strength. This principle was brought into action in the treatment of wounds in order ito stimulate the action of the serum of the blood. which has strong antiseptic properties. The wound is filled with a liquid solution of salt and sodium citrate at a consfd- era,bly greater concentration than that in the serum of the blood Under the Influence of this liquid the serum is poured out from the body into the wound, tending both to cleanse it and to destroy the bacteria that are pres ent.
 This system has the great advantage that it leaves the tissues unimpaired by the fluids used for the destruction of germs. .'The full recognition of the efficiency of this method, introduced largely through the efforts of Sir Ann roth Wright" says a medical writer must be regarded as one of the most important advances made in surgery as a result of the war"

CHINESE STOP OPIUM TRAFFIC .
 BY LOTTERY
Of 5SO Dealers 145 Are Select ed to Give Up the
 Business.

Peking, Aug. 13-In and around the coast provinces of China, the sup pressfon of opium traffic by the Chi
 nese government officials has been eff
 fected so thoroughly that the opium dealers are focking in increasing numbers under the protection of the foreign settlement in Shanghai, but
 even there the dealers are finding their activities restricted. The missionary element and other reformers have hit upon one rather novel campaign for
 suppression by lottery. The taxpay- CTS in Shanghai voted in favor of the
 scheme, and a lottery or drawing was recently held for the purpose of se- lecting out of the 580 opium dealers in the territory 145 who should give
 up the opium business.
 The North China News, describing the drawing, says:
 AE'The drawing was conducted on a platform, and the people, whose for tunes were temporarily or perma-
 nently at stake stood earnestly scru- tinizing every move in the procedure Great care was, of course, taken to
 ensure accuracy in drawing and re- cording numbers, and the Chinese who
 held up the ball as it came from the
 machine was careful to let, it be seen between his thumb and finger, and to have his long sleeves well rolled back.
 The proceedings were conducted with
 out hitch, the drawings being. com pleted within an hour"
