ANOTHER ERA OF RECONSTRJJC
TION.

The "Whiskered Pander," whom the
hungry boards of the Republicans
have put up in the desperate hope
that there are fools enough in the
country to elect him, has capped the
climax of his stupidity by an appeal
to sectional prejudice.
This shows beyond question that if
elected the people South of the line
would have nothing to hope from his
administration but hostility and the
| thousand and one annoyances that
the South suffered in the era of re-
construction.
Through the misfortune of topoe-
raphy our Republican friends in the
Ninth district "must" share in this
ostracism, and incur their full Dor
ton. of the odium that must attach
to the endorsement of Hughes threat
ened crusade against the South.
But every friend of the present
wise administration may take com

honored grave like Summer and Gar

Does not and should not the situa
ton appeal to every patriotic son of
the South, much as the invasion of
Belgium and France and Russia an

the opportunist, Hughes, would never
have dared to appeal to the hates
and animosities of bygone age.
These reflections quite logically lead
up to the query, "Does party oblira-
ton which should always depend on

of his section, his State or his conn

"MADE MY BLOOD RUN COLD"
A Common Expression That States .
Physical lmpossibility.

MY blood runs cold at the very
thought" is not a novel expression.
You often either hear some one else
say it or aver it yourself.
Your blood cannot run cold' as long
as you are alive and we'll. If the blood
really becomes colder than blood
heat" something serious happens to
your health.
When you feel cold it is sensation,
not necessarily the temperature of the
tissues. Often with the blood feverish
or away above it's normal warmth you
feel chilly. SO much OF the superheat-
ed blood Is then at the surface Of the
skin that an extra normal amount of
heat leaves too quickly.
On the other hand. men and women
who drink beer. gin. whisky and simi-
lar alcoholic beverages feel the glow
OF warmth" and believe they are hot
when as matter of course their blood
is a trifIe below blood heat tempcra-
ture-at times manifestly q dangerous
thing
True enough. the blood has much to
do with how you feel. This. however
Is not because it "blOws hot or blows
cold.' but because that part Of it in
the skin where the sensations OF heat
and cold are located reflects the out
side surroundings according to the pre-
vious experience and habits of each in
dividuars skin.
II stoker and an employee of a re-
frigeration plant are put in a cold
draft or before an open CRATE fire
each will feel chilly or hot according
to his previous experience and habits.
The stoker will "catch cold' in the
draft" which will have no effect
whatsoever upon the man used to cold

FAIRFOREST CHAPTER, d. A. r

Fair Forest Chapter, d. A. R., held
the regular monthly meeting on Tues
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
H. K. Smith. The program was op-
ened with piano solo beautifully rem
dered by Miss Edith Smith.
A motion was made that hereafter
the names of all applicants for men,
bership should be presented before
the chapter by the membership COM
mittee and voted on by the members
by secret ballot. This was carried and
it was further decided that an appli-
cant's election must be unanimous and
that this should be put in the bylaws.
The regent then read letter from
Mrs. Lancaster of Pauline, S. c.,
who wrote that the father of Gov.
Johnson is buried in an unmarked
grave in the churchyard of Philadel-
phia Baptist church near Pauline, and
asked if he was a Revolutional SOL
dier. No one present could give any
information on this subject. The ques-
tion of putting a marker to the grave
was discussed but nothing definite de-
cided.

THE PEASANTS RIDDLE.
&nd How the Sicilian Kept the Prom
ise He Made to the King.

A Sictlian laborer told us this story.
He says his mother told it to him
when he was a child. 1t sounds like
one Of Grimm's tales and is undoubt-
edly very old folk lore:
MY mother told me that once there
was king who saw a peasant work.
Ing in field and asked him how much
he earned. And the peasant said,
-Four carlini a day. What do you do
with your carlinir asked the king.
One eat, the second put at interest,
the third l return, and the fourth
throw away This puzzled the king.
and he asked the peasant what he
meant And the peasant said:
az buy my food with one. l feed
my children with the second, and that
Is putting money out at interest. I
feed my old father with the third. and
that Is paying back what has been
given me. I give the fourth to my
wife, and giving her money Is throw
ing it away
""That's good riddle said the
king, and 1 must tell it to my friends.
Promise me that you won't tell any
one the answer till you have seen my
face hundred times So the peasant
promised. and the king went back to
his palace and asked them the riddle
Nobody could answer, but one remem.

asked him about it. But the peasant
said: Il can't tell you. / promised the
king / wouldn't tell the answer till |

'Oh, that's easy said the kings friend
and he took a hundred lire out of his
pocket, and every piece of money had

the answer to the riddle, and the king :

die now and he did. Then the king
became angry and said: You couldn't

to tell the king how he had fooled the
peasant. "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

THE BETTER THING.

Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free
Press.)
1t is better to lose with conscience
clean
Than win by trick unfair;
1t is better to fall and know you've
been,
Whatever the prize was, square,
Than to claim the JOY of a far-off
goals
And the cheers of the standers-by
And to know down deep in your in
most soul
cheat you must live and die.
Who wins by trick may take the
prize,
And at first he may think it sweet
But many day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat;
For the man who lost shall be glad at
heart
And walk with his head up high,
While his conquerer knows he must
play the part
Of cheat and living lie.
The prize comes fair when the fight
is on,
But save it is truly won
You will hate the thing when the
crowds are gone,
For it stands for a false deed done
And it's better you never should reach
your goal
Than ever success to buy
At the price of Knowing down in youl
soul
That your glory is all lie.

FIGHTING AN ELEPHANT.

even telegraph poles, because they OBJ
ject to anything strange in their IA
miliar haunts. One savage monster
nearly wrecked q small steam launch
belonging to the mission on the upper
reaches Of the Kongo.
The boat, with three white men, in
Guiding the bishop, and a crew Of five
negroes, had tied up on the edge of a
forest in a quiet bend Of the river. A
stout plank was laid as gangway
from the bow to the bank, and the
crew worked until nightfall cutting
and piling firewood for the boats fur
mace. Then they came on deck for
their evening meal. The three white
men were already Mt dinner when a
fearful yell from the natives brought
them out Of the cabin to see a large
elephant viciously attacking the wood
pile. The blacks went ashore with
firebrands snatched out Of the cook
stove to drive the monster away. But
he paid no attention to them until he
had demolished the woodpile, when he
whipped one man with his trunk heels
over head into the river and chased the
others back into the boat.
laundering after, with red gullet
open, tusks flashing and trunk failing
the air, he planted both tremendous
fore feet on the gangplank. 1t bent
until it cracked under his weight, but
held stoutly. although the whole boat
careened and seemed ready 10 capsize.
In another moment the elephant had
crossed the plank and was astride it

image Of baffied rage. In his fury he
began stamping with those great fore

What might have happened If the
monster had come aboard with all his
frenzied weight can only be imagined
for the captain by this time had fetch
ed the only rifle on board and, risking
all on one shot, had thrust the muzzle
almost into the gaping mouth and
pulled the trigger.
Fortunately the bullet lodged in the
base Of the brain. The elephant tum-
bled to his knees and into the water

boat aside so suddenly that 1t snapped
the bowlines and sent the men stagger-

JOHN MUIR AND HIS BREAD.
The Famous Naturalist Lived tho Rea
Simple 1 ife


The naturalist and explorer, John
Muir, was a curiously simple man-as
simple In his tastes and appetftes as
in his views of life and conduct. On
his trips through the s rras he never
carried gun and never killed game.
nor did he catch fish.
He lived almost exclusively on plain
dry bread. There is no waste In It -
he used to say. Every particle is of
value. / also take along a small pack
age of tea and little tin cup in a stout
canvas bag. 1 can sustain my strength
on this diet for months at q time
occasionally run across some wild ber-
ries or an edible root to chew on, but
they are not important"
At dinners to which he was invited
Mr.. Muir would usually barely taste
Of soup or fruit, never touch meat or
any fancy dessert, talk while others
ate and nibble away between times at
slice of bread without butter.
Once while visiting Pasadena he was
one of party starting out to get sup
per, after which it was purposed to
spend the evening in the rooms Of one
of the company. AS they walked along
the street they passed bakery. and
Mr.. Muir stopped. "Why, friends, look
here" he said. THAT is good looking
bread. Why go any farther? Let's buy
couple Of loaves and take them to
the room with u.s." And he was quite
in earnest.
Once a friend took him to luncheon
| at famous restaurant in San Fran
cisco. AS they took seats at a table
MIR. Muir was engaged in some discus
sion In which he was so absorbed that
he was oblfvfous to everything else.
His friend could not interrupt him.
and 80 the talk flowed on until the
time approached for closing the res.
taurant. The head waiter told the
host that he must give his order with
out further delay. Taking advantage
Of the interruption, the friend suggest
ed to Mr.. Muir that he should give his
order. He seemed startled. II have
all I wish," he exclaimed. "Order for
yourself" For an hour as he talked
he had been chewing bits Of bread

Simple Rules For Developing the Body
and Keeping "Fit."
1T isn't necessary to give a lot of
time to the job Of keeping fit," said
the physical director Of West Point
Military academy. "Ten or fifteen min
utes Of setting up exercise in the morn
ing and a walk every day-not neces-
sarily long one, but one In which
you march briskly like a soldier with
your head and chest up and your shoul-
ders back-will work wonders. Do you
know why so many men are narrow
chested and weak? 1t is because they
never have given themselves a chance
to breathe and never have given their
ssnuscles enough exercise.
"Many people. men, women and chill
dren are semi-invalids most Of their
lives because Of the lack OF few min
utes of daily exercise and also because
they have never been taught proper
posture and carriage-such, for in
stance, as we insist upon at all times

striction, and in which every muscle Of
