A bachelor wrote long letter to
his married brother bemoaning the
fact that for several weeks he had not
been feeling just right and was sick
The wise m. b. thought it over then
wrote him the following letter:
Dear jim:
If you don't feel right,
If you can't sleep at night,
If you moan and sigh,
If your throat is dry,
If you can't smoke or drink,
If you grub tastes like ink,
If your heart doesn't beat,
Ii you've got cold feet,
YOUR heads in whirl-
Why don't you marry the girl?
AS ever your brother,

FRIEND OF DAVIS
 WASFAMOUS WIT
Presidential Candidate Likes To Tell Of Quiz
 zical Old Squire

John W. Davis has more fun in him than his countrymen as yet know, writes James 0'Donnell Bennett in a. Clarks- burg, w. Va, letter to the Chicago Tribune.
 In that he is like his great-grand- father, Caleb Davis, the eighteenth cen tury Virginia silversmith and clock maker, round, jolly little, man who liked to take the candidates father on his kIee and sing him old English bal- lads that invariably ended, "and then with tu-ra-lee and tu-ra-loo",; like, too, his maternal grandfather, William Will son Kennedy, the Baltimore lumber merchant, whose cheery hail to his fam lily in times of trial was ''one must be a man or a mousse" and of whom it is said, "he never whined, never wor- ried, never moaned"-and he lived to be 88. .,.
 The outstanding characteristic of John W. Davis humor is Judicial kind of waggishness. He can quiz himself without dropping below his own dignity and he can quiz others without offend- ing them. He is much given to both pastimes. -
 It is natural therefore that some of the best Davis anecdotes concern the celebrated Squire Benedum, West Vir- ginia worthy, whose waggeries were treasured by the whole countryside on which John w. Davis grew to manhood. But Emanuel Benedum was more than wag; he was wit and philosopher and ever ready.
 Once when the squire's tongue was unleashed. reproving elder called out to him, "Benedum, you ought not to call a man foOl!"

CITY INDIGNANT AT WATER SUPPLY

Citizens charged that the company was pumping water from the town branch into the supply tank. The branch drains q large part of the town.
 As result of the trouble arising the city was virtually without water Satur- day afternoon and night.
 Local employees of the water com pany at first refused to listen to a committee of citizens headed by Mayor Ramsey, and county health officer Dogulass claiming that it had a per Nmit from. the state board of health.y The Alabama Water company only recently took over the water franchise here. Indignation is shown by many citizens of the city over the alleged negligence of the company.

M'COY'S INSANITY F.xs
 IS CALLED FAKE
(By Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1S.-Kids Me Coy, former pugilist, held here under in dictment for the murder of Mrs. Theresa W. Mors last August, is ''malingering and feigning insanity" according to a report made to the district attorneys office today by two alienists who ex- amined the prisoner.
 Both medical men who examined Me Coy today, Drs. Paul Bowers and Victor Parking, bad examined him once before, shortly after his arrest. At that time the alienists declared him sane,~ despite his playful operations with bits of Card board and tissue paper. This time, after watching Mccoy write letters to Theresa" and listening to him croon songs to "Theresa," the physicians ex- pressed the unqualified opinion that it was all make-believe. . enemy cavalry drew up before Bene- dom's home, obviously bent on food. Seizing his wife's red shawl, the squire wrapped it over his bearded chin, as- sumed the voice of sickness, and, open ing the door at which cavalryman stood, said to him:
 Has all of your company had the smallpox?" #sE
 It is to be remembered this was long before ''The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in which Huck employs precisely the same strategem, was published. sai
 Anyway, the soldiers rode on - in haste.

 Who is guilty of neglect of duty? Answer-The farmer.
 What will render to the farmer con tentment and, happiness at home? An swer-Education.
 For any one man to render true verdict, according to the law and evil dence, he will be required to possess a full knowledge of the law, based upon a personal observance and experience with the state and federal agricultural agents on the one hand, and those to be bene- fitted upon the other--the farmers.
 Knowledge of Conditions My testimony may not be very enter element of truth, a full knowledge of through the complete fabric of the agrl- cultural system; and close daily con- tact with the dirt farmer"
 In order that the rural citizenry may have a clear conception of the full scope and purposes of the agricultural depart mefits we will take for a moment a retrospective view of the past history of the departments under state and fed eral control.
 A plan was laid in the very founda- tion of our government for the better ment of agriculture This movement was largely educational. It was an, eff fcrt to improve the farmer quite as much as to Improve the farm. -
 George Washington was vitally in terested in the problem. He wished to have a central board or cleaing house for agricultural information. His hopes were realized in the establishment of a secretaryship in the presidents cabinet under the democratic administration of President Cleveland. The first secretary was Norman J. ColmAn in 1889.

 Agriculture is basic, and any statu- tory laws enacted for the benefit of farm. CTS will be enforced to that degree of efficiency, which marks the progress of the common people in their mental and moral development. As to the measure of duty performed bk the agricultural agents, it is clearly an open question.
 Expert testimony is required to re- lMeai the fact in the case. If this is true, What facts are relevant to establish the true social, moral, intellectual and finan- cial condition of the farmers, their re- ceptive mood, their ability to take and apply and use practically such scien- tifical information and knowledge as the laws contemplate?
 If rural citizenship has not attained that standard of development which will | lift the farmers to a<level sufficient to grasp, and utilize the advantages of. fered by scientific investigation; then, there is apparent derilect of duty, but it lies at the door of education. On the other hand, the theory of the whole scheme upon which the federal and state agricultural departments are built is perfectly feasible for the de- velopment and promotion of agricultural pursuits. .
 It is true, that these departments have at critical times fallen within the scope of political influence, and have been embarrassed by insufficient ap- propriations,, thus failing to function. These conditions render it next to inn possible. for the agencies to carry out their programs, to extend their investi- gation, to demonstrate scientific meth ods and the practical application by work in the fields of the farmers. The charge of inefficiency under such con ditions lies indirectly at the door of the politician.
 To .discuss in detail any phase of this case would require more than the time limit of this articlet To deal with any
