Extracting the Truth.

The late Senator Carmack, OF Tenn
essee, used to tell a story of will
case where Tom Myers, former Speak
or of the Legislature, was an attorney
The question hinged on the sanity
or insanity Of the testator when he
made his will, and Mr.. Myers was in
PRODUCING evidence as to the unsound-
ness of the mind Of the man who made
the will at the time he made it.
He called a witness who had talked
with the dead man a few hours be-
fore he died. Did you hold CONVEX
sation with the testator short time
before he died." asked Myers.
Yes, sir"
Now, tell the jury what he said.
Do not make any comments on what
YOU think he meant or what interpre-
tatiOn should be put on the CONVERSE
ton. That will be for the jury to de-
eide Just tell us what he said. DID
he say anything to you?"
oh yes. sir, he said considerable.
Well, tell us one thing? What re-
mark did he make to you on any
subject? Do you recall any?"
Yes sir. recall one remark he
made"
An said Myers. Now we are
getting on. What did he say?'
Well" replied the witness, 'he
said he reckoned that Legisla+'-"
where Tom Myers was Speaker was
about the orneriest Legislature he
yer did see"

Did His Part.

In a Western Kentucky town Ben
Watson had saved the life Of Myra
Underhill. Miss Underhill's boat had
been overturned in a creek with &
swift current and the act of young
Watson was a very heroic one. He
had saved the life of the girl after she
was sinking for the third time, and
he had barely strength to pull him
self and the young woman to shallow
water.
The news soon spread and Ben
Watson was hailed as the real, live
hero of the village
Aunt Tabby Wilson, the oldest
woman in the village, mother of the
little colony, was loud in the praise of
the heroism of the young man, and at
once declared that Ben and Myra
must get married. Ben saved Myra's
life" she said, - and now they must
marry and be happy ever afterward,
just as they do in the story books"
But Ben demurred. The arrange
ment did not suit him.
Why not marry Myra, Benz" said
the old lady. She is yours and we
must have a wedding"
She's a nice girl, all right" re-
piled Ben, but l don't think we
oughter marry. Seems to me-" he
went on. II have done enough for
Myra. "-Harper's Weekly.

ers came and paid their respects.
Flowers, letters, telephone and tele-
graph messages arrived with congratu-
lations. Mrs Hiteshew had arranged
a delightful reception, receiving her
guests in a gracious manner. The
house was beautifully decorated with
flowers, the reception hall and dining
room very attractive.
Miss Marguerite HiteShew very
dairtily served salad and olives in
tiny baskets with handle, made from
the round ripe tomatoes, tucked away
in lettuce leaves, ices, frozen custard,
sweets, with lucious grapes and
pea ches graced the table. Over it all,
in we'll preserved old age, yet youthful
will all, presided the honored mother
and grandmother, Mrs. Seeafoose,
much delighted to find herself the
center of such loving expression of
good will and pleasant association.
Mary dainty gifts were received.

Regard For National Honor.

Mr. Hughes, in his speech at Dayton
Ohio, on Monday, which throughout
bore more resemblance to the Grafton
of high school graduate than an ap-
peal by a candidate for great office
TO the suffrages of great people,
made the declaration that the Republi-
can party has been the party of nat
ional honor" But what a different
task would be his if he undertook to
support this declaration with absolute
proof.
1t is not necessary to go back very
far to find a striking instance of the
disregard of national honor by Repre-
sentatives elected by the Republican
party to the Congress of the United
States. A resolution offered by rem
egade Democrat, the adoption of which
would have been virtual surrender
of our countrys rights on the high
seas to Germany, was supported by
101 Republican members of the House
of Representatives. Eighty-seven Re-
publican members revOlted at the Of
fensive and unpatriotic proposition
and joined the great bulk of the Dem
ocratic meAibers III defeating it.
Republican support alone-in which
the Representative from our own little
State of Delaware unfortunately join
ed, to the dismay of many of his con-
stituents-imparte slight prestige to
this dishonorable proposition, which
should not have received the vote of
a single member. Republican support
furnished the bulk of the vote in its
favor. And yet Mr.. Hughes PIRATES
that the Republican party is the party
of national honor Wilmington Ev

Too Much To Believe.

THE late Bishop Hare said Sioux
Falls physician, used, very reason
ably, to impute skepticism to misun-
derstanding.
He once told me about a Philadel-
phia business man of skeptical ten
denotes, who said to him:
My dear Mr.. Hare; I do not re-
fuse to believe the story of the ark
l can accept the ark's enormous size
its odd shape and the vast number of
animals it contained, but when L am
asked, my dear doctor, to believe that
the children of Israel carried this I'M
wieldy thing for forty years in the will
derness-well, there I'm bound to say
my faith breaks down. - Living

What The Straw Votes Show.

Straw votes recently taken by the
New York Herald and the Indepen-
dent Magazine indicate that President
Wilson will be reelected in NovcIr Ter
by an overwhelming majority. The
Herald, following it's custom of many
years, took its first straw vote among
workers in the Herald composing
rooms, and out of total of 1872 votes,
Wilson received Sc, Hughes 80, Benson
12 and Socialist Labor T. The politics
of the men who voted were as follows:
Democrats Ga, Republicans 81, Pro-
gressives 16, Independents 2, Social
lists 2, politics not stated II. The
same workingmen in 1912 voted as
follows: For Wilson 70, Roosevelt 80,
Taft 8, Debs l, not voting 6.
Another Straw vote taken by
the Herald in various widely scatter
ed localities that are declared to be
prevalently Republican, gives Presi-
dent Wilson 16 more votes than Mr..
Hughes. The Herald is now taking
it's nationwide straw vote which will
be watched with great interest, as the
result OF the Heralds polls have in
variably indicated which way the
election would go in November.
The straw vote conducted by the
-n1eDendent Magazine by means of u
request printed in a recent issue of
the magazine for all readers to write
a letter expressing their choice for
President, shows even greater
strength for Mr.. Wilson.
