HAIRY HAND WRITES

("Monitor" of New York;
George Washington had strong dis
like for lawyers, sobriety, moralism
and genteel poverty. He had pro-
nouncsd fondness for liquor. He loved
money, and the speaking power of
cold cash was his open sesame to self
indulgence. He enjoyed profanity more
than Scripture and was not pious
in spite of being vestryman in half
hundred churches. He never troub-
led about the private morals Of his
neighbor and it is whispered his own
were not test proof"
The enemies Of America use the
poison pen Of hatred for the purpose
of destroying the esteem and love
that Americans have for the builders
Of this nation.-Editor.

The goose had been carved, and
everybody had tasted it. It was ex-
cellent. The Negro minister, who was
the guest of honor, could not restrain
his enthusiasm.
"Dat's as fine goose as I ever set
ma teeth in, Brudder Williams" he
said to his host. "Whar did you git
such a fine goose?"
"Well, now parson," replied the
carver of the goose, exhibiting great
dignity and reluctance, when you

ration."-Lawyer and Banker.

Through mists that frown

Still eristh out: "Goi conquer In this

SOUTHERN VIEW
OF MACNuS

1t has been something more than q
week now since the sovereign state of
Minnesota elected picturesque gen.
tleman surnamed Johnson to the Unit
ed States Senate, and we are forced to.
the unhappy conclusion that a great
many people throughout the country
fail to appreciate the act. In fact, the
proverbial welkin has been kept busy
ringing under the impact Of constant
sarcasm, ridicule, invective, anathe-
mas, denunciations and even fore
bodings. Every editor has had some
thing to say about the significance
of the election. It is a rebuke to the
president, it shows the unrest of the
farmers, it foretells the dissolution of
the two old parties and indicates the
inability of the great common people
to select good men for Office. In the
midst of all the turmoil we have
maintained our accustomed tranquil
lily and insisted that the chief signif-
icance of the election of Mr.. john
son was the election of Mr.. johnson.
We anticipate no disaster to these
United States because of Mr.. john
sons picturesque qualities. He is
somewhat illiterate to be sure, but
we seem to remember that Mr.. An
drew Jackson was, too. He is I'M
doubtedly crude in many respects, but
there was a man in the Senate once
named Sam Houston who was just as
crude and the republic suffered no
harm. He is informal in dress, we
are told, but Mr.. Thomas Jefferson
himself created small scandal by.
his delinquencies in that line. He has
peculiar views about our foreign re-
lations, but there are a score of
gentlemen in the Senate quite as Pc
culiar, particularly those in opposi-
ton. He is ignorant of a great many
things, but no one is ever conspicuous
in Washington because of ignorance.
We take ourselves seriously as
democrats without any capitals,
mind you!) and we are inclined to
give everyone credit for a large
residuum of common sense. All the
men we have mentioned had it and we
do not doubt that Mr.. Johnson has it,
also. In one way and another he has
about made an end of the Democratic
party in Minnesota. Let us remem-
Der that to his credit.-Louisville
Herald.

 Secondly, We have discovered by actual tests in a large number of buildings the loss of heat is 25 per cent over that in buildings having no windows.
 Thirdly, thcre is the tremendous cost incidental to the fading of decor ations and the cost of removing the large quantities of dirt and soot that blow in through windows each day.
 Probably the greatest costs to fac tories and public buildings. however, lies in the ground areas given over to courts or light shafts. Besides the initial cost of this property, usually a total waste, the taxes ex- pended in keeping y clear for day light each year is staggering
