CAPTAIN GUEST
PACKS TABERNACLE
Over $1,000 Pledged Red
Cross After Speech of
British Officer.

The local Red Cross COMMITTEES
was fortunate in being able to pro
cure Capt. Lucius Guest, an English
man, to talk during this weeks cam.
paign. The tabernacle was full tc
capacity Wednesday evening to hear
him. Prayer meetings in the various
churches were dismissed so as not tc
interfere with it.
Capt. Guest talked for over ar
hour of war life. He said, 'In Eng
land~we used t call you our Ameri-
can cousins, but now, and forever
after, we call you our brothers and
sisters" He is very optimistic con-
cerning the outcome of the war,
and said they have all felt sure of
winning ever since the U. S. declared
war. He gave a vivid description
of trench life-very much different
from what we see in our training
camps.
His explanation of the significance
of the various emblems on his uni
form was very interesting.
Very little was said of the Hun
atrocities-only couple very horri-
flying instances being given.
Capt. Guest is one of So wounded
British officers who are spending
a month in the U. S. lecturing while
recuperating and will soon be back
in the thick of it. His distinct Eng
lieh brogue was quite noticeable. His
father and brothers are all soldiers.
In speaking of the Revolutionary
war, he made it plain that the Eng
lish ruler at that time was Germas,
which is fact many people do not
SEEM to know, f
Over $1,000 was pledged for the
Red Cross relief work.

FIRES OFF PISTOL
TO CALL OFFICERS

OnoFtly dICer IL O'CLOCK WeQneS-
day night B. Franklin Hunter, grocer,
fired two shots from a pistol, which
he is said to have done to call the
police to his store for protection,
after dozen or more young men
Of Paris had decorated his store win
dow with an American and British
flag and Red Cross emblem and
afterwards, it is said, they were torn
down and cast aside on the walk by
member of Mr.. Hunters family.
1t is reported that after our ma
tional colors had been placed in the
store window, Mrs. Hunter came
dove down stairs and admonished the
men for their actions, at the same
time removing the flags from the
window. This being done while Mr..
Hunter was looking down from an
upstairs window.
After taking the flags from the
window Mrs. Hunter is said to have
returned upstairs and shortly after
wards, Mr.. Hunter is said to have
fired the shots from the, second
story window as he believed that
bodily harm might be done to him
and his family, and wished the pro-
lection of the officers, who respond
ed promptly and took their positions
in the stairway leading to the Hunter
apartments while large crowd OF
men, women and boys gathered TO
learn the cause of the excitement.
The crowd demanded that Mr..
Hunter be brought forth and locked
ur but owing to the intense feeling,
the officers feared violence and hest
tated. After time Mayor Porter
reasoned with the leaders and all
concerned, and stated that the Off
GERS would take Mr.. Hunter to Jail
en- promise from the crowd that no
violence would be done, and at 10
O'clock Thursday morning he be
brought to the court house lawn
where his case be disposed of by the
citizens. -
When Mayor Porter, made this
statement all hands went up and
with loud yell, the crowd promised
to form in line on opposite sides of
the doorway and permit the officers
and their man to pass by unmolested.
The suggestion that Mr.. Hunter be,
permitted to ride was not allowed.
With this distinct understanding
between officers and citizens, the Of
ficers Immediately went upstairs and
came down with Mr.. Hunter who was
taken to jail, nearly the entire crowd
following to the Jail doors.
At 10 o'clock this morning com
mittee of responsible professional
and business men called on Mr..
Hunter at the Jail and obtained an
apology from him and also his prom
Use that he would hereafter endeayor
to act in conformity with the senti-
ment, manners and customs of the
community. He also said that firing
the shots was an act of the head and
rot of the heart; that he was so
excited and aggravated it was done
on the impulse of the moment. Mr..
Hunter also said that he was willing
to appear in public and apologize for
his actions and also make proper do
nations to the Red Cross
After the interview at the jail
Judge A. B. Lamb and Judge D. T.
Spaulding spoke to crowd of citi-
zens in front of Humphrey Bros. Il
Fosters store, telling them what Mr..
Hunter had said and that right would
prevail. The matter has been re-
ferred to the government and fed
eral officer is expected to arrive here
tonight after the Partisan has gone
to press.

Sense Of Taste,

The principal seat Of the sense Of
taste is the mucous membrance Of the
tongue, in which dissection reveals q
cults or chorion, papillary structure,
and an epithelium. The cults is tough,
but thinner and less dense than in
most parts of the cutaneous surface,
and receives the Insertions Of the in
trinsic muscles of the tongue. The
papillary structure differs from that Of
the skin in not being concealed under
the epithelium, but in projecting from
the surface like the Wilt of the diges-
tive canal, and it thus gives to the
tongue its well known roughness. The
epithelium is of the scaly variety, as
on the skin, but is much thinner on
the tongue than on the skin. It is
most dense about the middle Of the
upper surface Of the tongue, and It is
here that, in disordered digestion,
there is the chief accumulation of fur,
which, in reality, is simply depraved
and over-abundant formation of cpl
thelium. The papillae on the surface
a the tongue are either simple or COM
pound. The former, which closely
resemble those on the skin, are scat
tered over the whole surface of the
tongue in parts where the others do
not exist, and they likewise partici-
pate in the formation of the compound
papillae.

SAVAGE AND HIS SHIELD
Writer Explains Why Men Button
Their Clothing With the Right
Hand.

A popular writer who is particularly
fond Ct giving his readers diluted SCI
ence, in sugared pellets, says that men
button their clothing with the right
hand because their prehistoric ances-
tors used to carry shields on their left
arms. To quote his own words:
primitive man had q shield on his
left arm to protect the heart side from
attack. That left his right hand free
to do the bntt0ning."
This is interesting and highly imag-
inative, but is 1t true? Did primitive
man wear shirts and collars, vests and
coats, that buttoned up at all? And
did he know that his heart was more
important to guard than his lungs or
his liver? Is there any real evidence
that he was concerned about the rela-
tive value Of his internal organs, when
he fashioned his shield? Did he carry
his shield on his left arm to protect
his heart or was 1t to leave his right
arm. apparently always the stronger,
In the majority of individuals, free to
WELD a sword or spear, or q stone
hammer or knobbed war club, farther
back toward the beginning Of mans
long story on this battered old planet?
Beyond question, he wanted his
most efficient hand and arm free to
use his weapons, but is it certain or
even probable that he had strong
preference for being stabbed in the
right side, II he must needs be pune
tured at all? Surely the weapon Of
attack always dominated the means of
defense. The knife counted more
than the shield. The spear controlled
the use of hands and arms more than
any buckler ever did.
Buttons are placed for the convent
ence of the right hand, not because the
left hand was kept busy, carrying a
shield, in the childhood of the human
race, but because the right hand was
usually the stronger and more skillful
then, just as 1t Is now.
