His Comeback

The witness had just been severely
reprimanded by the court for having
talked insultingly to a policeman
in fact he had openly called the offic-
er a iackass.
you mean to say that it is mis-
demcanor to call a policeman a
'jackass' ?" asked the witness.
1T certainly is, at least morally, in
the opinion of this court" was the
answer.
rs it any harm to call jackass a
policeman?' queried the witness
az in.
None whatever" smiled the Judge.
AS the witness loft the courtroom.
he turned to the policeman, and said
slowly and distinctly: "Goodby, po-
liceman."

Why Grow Old
Before Your Time?

1t isn't years alone that make one
old. Many folks are younger at 20
than others at 30. A lame, bent
back; stiff, achy joints. rheumatic
pains, bad eyesight, and bladder
Irregularities are often due to kid
ney weakness and not advancing
years. Don't let weak kidneys age
you. Use DOan's Kidney Pills.
Doah's have made life more COM
Portable for thousands of elderly
folks. Ask your neighbour!
Here's an Augusta Case
Mrs. w. F. Spears, 121 Cony st.,
says: MY back was very painful
and it was hard to get about. 1 was
dizzy and could see black specks
before my eyes. Having known of
Doans Kidney Pills for a good many
years I got some at Coughlin's Drug
store. They were not long in re.
lieving the trouble."-Adv.

A TRIBUTE TO LAFAYETTE


it is fitting that we pay brief
tribute to the French nobleman,
Marquis de Lafayette. Had it not
been for France and such men as
Lafayette the great United States of
America might perhaps be a second
Canada, ruled by 1.-The great power
across the sea-"
Lafayette was,a French general
and statesman and a faithful officer
of Washington during the American
Revolution. He was young man
of wealth and high social position
in France At the first news of the
American Revolution his enthusiasm
was aroused in behalf of the Amer
lean colonists.
Although but 10 years of age, he
fitted out a ship at his own eX-
pense and in April "a, 1777, landed
at Georgetown, S. c., with eleven
companions, among them being Baron
de Kalb. The colonies were not only
hard pressed for money, but they
were in still greater need of officers
to train the American army. His
arrival in America gave new courage
to the Revolutionary cause.
On July 81, 1777 Congress confer
red upon him the rank of major
general and not long after he became
q member of General Washington
staff. At the battle of Brandywine
he was wounded while rallying the
American soldiers. Although one of
Washington's youngest officers, he
showed great bravery and ability.
With the exception of one year in
France Q779-S0), he served continu-
ously until the close of the war.
With only 1900 men he was sent
against Benedict Arnold in Virginia,
where the British army was soon
strengthened by 5000 men under
CORVALLIS from England. Lafayette
showed the greatest skill as a STRAIT
egist. AfterCornwallis' surrender,
Lafayette was publicly thanked by
Washington for his services. Lafa-
yettes aid to the colonies during the
Revolution cost him $4,000.
He twice revisited America, in
1884 and in 1S24-'25. He was greatly
sought as a public guest and the
nation put forth every effort to show
its love and gratitude. At the time
of his second visit he was an old
man and poor. Like many another
French nobeman, he had lost a large
part of his estate in the French Revo-
luton. Congress gave him 100000
and a township of $4,000 acres in
Florida.
At the one hundredth anniversary
of the battle of Yorktown and the
surrender of Corvallis, celebrated
in 1881, representative of the Lafa-
yette family was present as national
guest.
Besides the various towns and
cities in the United States that bear
the name, Lafayette, should be men,
toned the following: Lafayette Col
lege at Easton, Pa; Lafayette fish,
a pan fish" that became we'll known
during Lafayette's visit, and although
discovered near New York, abounds
from Cape Cod to Texas; Mount
Lafayette in New Hampshire, one
of the Franconia mountains of the
White Mountain range, having an
altitude of $3.50 it.: and Lafayette
Square in Washington, D. c.
During the World War it was with
grateful hearts to France and to
Lafayette that American forces re-
inforced the French army and the
allies. That saying: Lafayette, We
have come" attributed to General
Pershing when the American soldiers
landed on French soil, voiced the
grateful spirit of the United States.

Divorces have adopted the plan of
wearing a divorce ring-new stone for
each divorce.--News note.)
Now comes the divorce ring-that isn't
so bad,
With setting that's proper, they
say,

And simplify matters straightway.

A badge of said freedom she'll own.

power is in no sense a declaration
of war against either the Republican

fact that it has been developed
under avowed party allegiance
shows real intent on the part
of Frazier supporters to reconcile
nonpartisan league sentiment with

Hold Your Flag, My Children!

(Song. march time)
Hold your flag, my children.
Let it wave on high,
Show the world before YOU
Help is coming nigh
Soon you'll he a soldier,
With an aim in lift;
Face the world in danger,
Nobly bea- the strife.
Show the world around YOU
That the heart within
Beats like drums when marching
In the battles din.
For your country ever,
For your Eaighbor, too,
Justice for all peoples,
Wave YOU banner true.
Hold your flag. my children!
Keep in step the while;
Meet the soldier coming.
Greet him with a smile.
Keep your faces forward,
Let the world behold
That a ceild shall lead them,
AS the prophets told.
