CASTING THE FIRST STONE.


The Rome Chronicle, a publication
which prints more than it seems to
know. had this to say:
A pickpocket relieved an Amer
icus policeman of all of his be-
Notwithstanding his club. But
that was in Americas.
Somewhere we have read about
sweeping before your own door; and
let him who is without sin cast the
first stone etc. So far as we can
ascertain no pickpockets have been
hereabouts, and certainly none have
purloined the Americas policeman's
belongings. Possibly, an attempt at
humor by the Rome paper For their
Information, we might say that two
bits is our pot stake against their force
for we've seen 'em.

NO CAUCUS SPLIT.

Senator Salisbury. of Delaware, has
been unanimously selected by the
Democratic caucus for president pro

choice must be agreeable to all par

Senators Hardwick and Smith, Of

be remembered that Senator Smith
was quoted as saying the north or

true. Preparation for the boil weevir5

mere publicity work for several years.
But there is no excuse now OF COM
planning because greater efforts were
not made in Georgia to prepare for
the pest; the important thing is to see
that nothing is overlooked now either
to make the weeYi1 less disastrous in
the cotton fields, or to grow enough
crops to live at home"

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Mr.. Chapple began his talk on the sub
iect assigned him by n story OF tho three
roses; the yellow rose, the emblem OF
hope, always recalls to him his mother:
the white rose, the teacher In the country
school that he attended, the wild red
roses, the Dakota prairie and his first
meeting with the woman who became his
wife. All three women were farmers
wives because Mr. Chapple admits that
he tried farming himself for a year or
less, with mediocre success.
Mr.. Chapplcs address abounded in
touches of rare humor, pathos and in
tributes to the American farm woman
TO her and his faith in what he is
confident she win accomplish he ascribes
, his own Astounding optimism. He com
plmcntcd Vermont on its prestige as a
dairy state and said that the readiness
with which western women take UP every
new device that makes for efficiency
shou1 have its influence on fasteners
and cause them to adopt every Legitimate
method to speed their work.
Some very interesting "reminiscences OF
Mr.. Chapple's life were given and the
story of his carly decision to chase
celebrities beginning with his inter
viewing p. 7. Barnum, afforded keen
enjoyment. He told of his attending the
coronation of King Edward and how he
used President Roosevelt's letter to gain
admittancc to Westminster Abbey He
later visited all the capitals of Europe
and found all the kings cmperors and
presidents at home and glad to see him
thanks to r. RS magic words. His
influence on Ebert Hubbard was such
! that lie turned this cynical person into
a devoted son who every night and morn
ing, the last year of his life kissed his
92-year-old mother and so left with her
tho tendcrest Of memories after Hub
{ bard's tragic death on the T.usitania
Mr. Chapple closed with the warmest
or tributes to the farmers wives, the
herolnes in every war and conflict
