A teacher was trying to illustrate
the outcome of laziness and idleness.
She drew a terrible picture of the ha-
bitua lloafer, the man who hates
work, and his ultimate fate. "Now,
Johnnie" she said to little boy who
had been looking out of the window
and whose mind was far from the les
son of the hour, "tell me who is the
wretched, miserable individual who
gets clothes, food and lodging and
gives nothing in return?" Johnnie's
face glowed. "Please, MISS" he re-
piled, "the baby!"
Joseph H. Choate used to tell the
story to the effect that, when he first
went to London as American ambas-
sador, he spent days and weeks look
ing for a house. One afternoon on
this house hunt he was overcome with
fatigue in the west end and sank down
IN bench in Kensington Garden and
ell asleep. He slept until closing
line. Then a London bobby shook
Tim by the shoulder roughly. "Here

BLOCK IN KEY
TESVILE IN - *

Sunday evening about 6 o'clock
Walter Smith noticed a blaze on lie
second floor of the hotel and imme-
diately game an alarm of fire. 1t was
ony few minutes until there was a
large crowd on hand ready to do
what they could to prevent a most
serious conflagration. As it hap
pened there was a few fire extin-
guishers in the hall and some one
threw one of them in the room, No.
four, and the blaze was soon put
out. The origin of the blaze was
found to have been from ah oil heat
er which had exploded.
That the blaze was confined to the
one room was considered exceedingly
fortunate, for if the fire had gained
any considerable headway nothing
could have saved the entire business
block as the .city is absolutely with
out fire protection.
But little damage was done to the
apartment to which it was confined.
Of course the entire second floor
of the hotel was smoked up and con-
siderable cleanup was necessary, but
the fact that the fire was discovered
in time was the only thing that con-
tributed to saving the entire block.

POSTMASTER APPLICABLE
IN A NEW ROLE

A recent order was handed out by
Postmaster General Hays down at
Washington to the effect that post
masters now become detectiyes-in-
deed no other view can be taken of
the order-which states that postmas-
tiers must now help locate missing
persons. Of course, the postmaster
does not act as a agent in matters
pertaining to collecting bad accounts,
etc., but if you are missing from
lodge, from Jail, from church, it is
now the duty of P. M. Applegate 20
locate you. Hays has said so and it
is now sol Of course, George has
been seeing a lot of things lately tina.
he couldn't help seeing. His very po-
sition as postmaster malSs it impos-
sibIe for him to do otherwise. He
can't help but see all the petting par
ties held out in the spacious corridors
of the postoffice building. He'd see
'em if he tried not to, and anyway a
marriage license doesn't cost but a
dollar or so and it gives fellow the
privilege of petting for life time.
Then, too, he can't help but see
the letters another woman's husband
writes to some other mans wife. OF
course, he's not to blame for that, be-
cause during the course of a years
duty he becomes familiar with peo-
ple's chirography. Hays, however,
has not stated just what he must do in
case he discovers some vamp attempt
ing t9 put something over on some
perfectly good, housebroke hubby.

FOUND FOR THE
DEFENDANT IN COURT

At the recent term of the Circuit
Court Prosecuting Attorney Redick
O'Brien and Deputy Harry Poison
and some ten other attorneys were in
Keytesville to try a Ford robbery
case. The trial was brought here
from Macon on a change of venue,
and for a while it looked as though
most of the legal lights in the country
were on the case.
The case was brought against one
Arnold who lives near Holiday and
it seems he had car taken from him
after it had been properly parked on
Reed street. Cnas. Fowler of Macon
was later accused of having taken the
car, Another car had been taken
from a young lady living near Macon
and the car alleged to have-been taken
by Fowler was claimed by the young
lady and Mr.. Arnold.
Arnold was on the stand here to
defend himself Of the accused theft
of the young lady's car. The trial
was on for. about three days and the
jury took one ballot and decided that
Arnold had not stolen the car in
question.
