Scanning the columns of an exchange we
found Mother Symptoms Prophecy" and
are printing it today. 1t has been printed
time and again. Everybody has read it, but
it's ouaintness and age give it undiminished
interest, even if the more important of the
predictions (that the world to an end will
come in eighteen hundred and eighty-one")
has not been verified. All of the other
prophecies have come to pass. Considering
that it was written five hundred years ago
it was a truly remarkable guess as to the
future.

CURBSTONE WARRIORS.

From the cambridge Searchlight.
Where, oh, where is that blood-thirsty
bunch that have occupied park seats for
months past demanding stern methods in
Mexico and ''berlud" by the gallon? Where
are they? All in the blackberry patch and
perfectly satisfied to let other men do the
fighting since they have given counsel and
comfort to those who would bring us into
war. Those embryo Caesars and Napoleons
have all ''few the COOP" The lions have
turned to mice.

The Home Spirit.
From the Cordele Sentinel.

Buying in other towns that which you
can buy at home makes your own town
that much poorer-Dawson News.
The man who loves his town and wants
to see it prosper will buy at home every
thing he can buy and send off for as little as
possible.
He will not only preach it, but he will
practice what he breaches. In fact, all legit-
innate home industries should be patronized
and encouraged, for, after all, this is the
true and correct way to build up your town.
Buying away from home may help the
other town, but it does not help the town
where you live.
We should help to build up our city by
patronage just as much as possible, and by
encouragement. To buy at home means to
encourage, and to encourage means to buy
at home and to patronize the home indus
tries of all and every legitimate kind and
nature.

TWO GIRLS WHO ARE ADMIRED.

From the LAGRANGE Reporter.
The dancing man deeply admires the girl
who doesn't dance, and the drinking man, in
his sober moments, respects the girl who will
not tolerate liquor fumes, all of which, along
with several million other things, proves the
necessity for every girl to have a mind of
her own and to use it in acquiring high ideals
and fighting against the lines of least resist
ance.

AMERICA.

God bless our native land,
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do thou our country save
By thy great might.
For her our powers shall rise
To God above the skies;
On him we wait:
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To thee aloud we cry,
God save the state.

The state public service COM
mission will give no relief to the
Tacoma merchants, who filed a
complaint charging discrimination
by the Pacific Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. in refusing to install
free public phones in downtown
stores.
Attorney A. o. Burmeister. who
has received copy of the COM
missions decision Thursday, said
there appeared no hope of chang
ing the situation.
He said the reporter could read
the decision II he wanted to. But
he warned that it fills $50 type
written pages and deals with de-
posits, rates and everything ex-
cept what the merchants are
complaining about.
The complaint was filed by the
Tourist hotel, AL Wheeler, the
barber, and other Pacific avenue
merchants, who claimed that the
company refused to let them in
stall phones for the accommoda-
ton of their patrons, although
other merchants in the city were
allowed to have such phones.
