Uncle Johns the Happiest
Man on Earth

Oh say, Charley, Uncle John is
the happiest man on earth. You
remember he used to hang his feet
out of the window nights so as to
give them thorough airing in or
der to stay with them the next day.
Well the health officer got after him
and threatend to quarantine him
for contagious disease unless he
hauled in his feet. The consequen.
ces were that he was compelled to
either fish or cut bait, and he went
to using Barker's Antiseptic, and
today his feet are finer than silk.

resses in police court today against Al.
fred Miller who was charged with pass.
ing street car In an auto while It was
stopped. Bradshaw and Brannon were
in car waiting back Of a street car
at the corner Of Monroe street and
Main. They claim that Miller drove
in ahead Of them and passed the
street car before It got into motion.
Conductor John Lilley OF the street
car testified that Miller did not pass
his car, that the front wheels of the
Miller car were not quite up to the
rear end Of the street car when he
gave his motorman two bells. He sta.
ted that the street car was moving
before the auto reached It. Bradshaw

he will then be in shape to give any

According to Mr.. Speed the problem
OF fuel supply to majority OF manu-

Speed, .tand we should rather go after
manufacturers that use little fuel but
employ larger numbers OF men" Speed
further stated the gas situation in
Fairmont IS better for the perma.
nance OF future supply than in many
OF our neighboring cities.
The mention Of fuel supply gave

If at any period Mexico was capable
of coping with an outside power that
time was during the regime of the
adamantine Diaz. Porfrio had mag
nificently equipped army and the best
disciplined force Of border fighters
ever organized by any nation-sure
shots, reckless soldiers and endowed
with unquestionable courage. Never
theless, President Garfield, whose
bravery had been tested on many bat
tlefields, had his peace-loving propen-
sites provoked to the breaking point
and called the Mexican dictator to his
senses with pithy message, that car
ried more weight than all the letter
writing of Woodrow Wilson. Wilson
might profit by study of the policy
enunciated by James G. Blaine, then
secretary Of state, in the following
famous telegram to our minister in
the City of Mexico:
"Read this to the minister of for
eign affairs: 0utrages on American
citizens must stop, not next week, but
now. And, IL they do not, the entire
