At a banquet of the eons of
William's College, New York,
recently former Ambassador to
England Joseph H. Choate, paid

ed a warning to them not to en-
croach upon the duties of the
legislative branch of the govern-

The Savannah (Ga.) Press has
V*en keeping its eye upon Gover-
nor-elect Hoke Smith ar.d it has
tome to the conclusion that he
"at least continues to have the
aourage of his ante-election con
"notions. In a recent speech he
fceld that if the railroad commis-
sioners did not do what the neo-
ple of Georgia want them to do
the legislature should pass a law
turning them out.
Legislative action is certainly
taking a wide sweep into "pat-
ernalism" when a bill is passed
m the Missouri legislature pro-
hibiting one man buying another
a glass of soda water or a bowl of
beef tea or even" a riga*. Of
course, such a bill can not be
ited to men; its provisions
will even keep a fellow from buy.

Where is the boasted paladium of

Thirty-two million dollars'
worth of income bearing securi-
Ses was the gif ; which John D.
Bookseller, through his son,
ibhn J). Rockefeller, jr., an-
nounced to the General Educa-
tion boaid when it assembled for
a special meeting in New York
vast Thursday The gift, which
is the lar^PFt single amount ever
Riven for such purposes, will
be used for general education
awrposes throjghout the country.
Mr. Rockefeller previously had
given the board 11 million dol-
lars for the same work. His gifts
to this board now amount to 43
million dollars.
An Alabama editor has. judg-
ing form a paragraph in his pa-
per, become dugusted with the
town kickers. He tails it.e oil
ference between the kickers on
Urn farm :,ni those in town in the
rbHowing: "The kickers on the
turn are not so hard to get along
with as the kickers in town. On
the farm there is the kicking cow
and our long eared friend, the
Poking mule, while in town there
is tho old mos8back who want«
all the municipal improvements
without paying fur them. Tlu
ww may be sold for beef, the
xule traced for a shotgun, but
nothing but a funeral will get rid
a! the town kicker."
THE WORLD KNOWS YOU.
Don't think for a minute that
the world does not know you and
all about you that is worth know-
ing. It is a wise old world, and
the people in it are wise. We all
of us know each other pretty well,
and however muoh we may fool
ourselves we do not succeed in
fooling each other. It is s; id of
the ostrich that it is the most fool-
ish bird in the world because
when pursued by enemies H sticks
its head in the sand and imagine
that it is concealed, though its
whole, big awkward body is in
full view. But the folly of this
bird can not compare to the folly
of the human rstrich that deludes
itself into thinking that people
are not acquainted with it. If
you are all right and are living
the right sort of a life, you may
rest assured that the fact is pret
ty well known though no procla
mation may be made of this
knowledge. If you are not four
square with the world and with
your fellow man the world soon
gets on to your movements and
estimates you at your value. It
may be admitted as true that "all
the world's a stage," but bless
yur life we all know when the
actors are only playing a part,
and we accept th. m as actors and
not as appearing in their
proper persons.
There is nothing so hard—so
nearly impossible—to conceal as
the fact of deception. The da-
ceiver deludes nobody so readily
as himself, because he is so ready
to be deceived. The employe who
seeks to trick and trifle with the
employer and with that employ-
er's interests is soon found out
and listed as a triekster. and even
though no declaration of the
knowledge may be made, that
employer finds out in a very short
time that he has not the confi-
dence is neoessary for success
So also of the employer. The
manufacturer or merchant—no
less the man of millions than the
man who works for daily wage—
who steals the cloak of heaven
wherewith to conceal his evil
deeds or his shortcomings, can
not pose and parade before his
employes, or befcre the world at
large, and not be the subjeot of
jibes and jeers, if not actual con-
tempt and scorn, of those he
seeks to deceive, albeit employes
whose bread and meat di pends
temporarily upon the will or the
whim of the deceiver may be
oompelled to do their jibing and
their jeerinjr behind the back of
the false pretender. The day
feet of the idol will always pro-
trude, hang we the drapery ever
so carefully. Here is a little in-
cident illustrative: Two detectives,
in plain clothps of course, and
looking no different from the
th msands of othi<r men w th
whom they mingled, saw a man
standing on a prominent oorner.
H>! vas a wcll-i'r^ssed fellow—
t<> i well dresses, in fact. He
w , j apparently doing nothing but
In.mginp away an idle hour
the same and on his person were
found applianc s and instruments
of crime enough to have conviot-
ed half a dozen crooks. He wa?
a downright bad one. He \ a?
playing the rile of honest gentle-
man, but the thief-takers were
not deceived. They asked why
he ran, and his answer was that
he did not want to be arrested.
' 'And why did you think we wete
going to arrest you?" Then the
crook gave them a little surprise.
"Why, I 'rapped' to you the
minute you came in bight, though
1 tiad never seen you before "
The detectives were in their turn
playing a ro e, or thought they
wort;, but the crook "rapped" to
them ever more readily than they
penetrated his disguise. The dr.
tectives were only deludingthem-
selves, as the crook was doing.
And that is what wo all do when
we seex to play a part—when we
seek to deceive. 'Ihe world has
us all sized up pretty nearly right
and it's a mighty wise world
however tolerant and stupid i
may seem at times.

Doubtless Mrs. Sage would like
to relieve all real cases of dis-
tress, but even 880,000,000 would
soon be used up in a wholesale
attempt to minister to the needs
of worthy and meritorious per-
sons. Her task is a co'ossal one
and a tremendoui burden to have
fallen on the shoulders of a lady
of tier age—Mobile (Ala J Her-
ald.
Possible our Alabama brother
would be willing to lay aside his
editorial duties and relieve the
aged lady of the heavy burden
resting upon her.
Harry Shannon's powerful
comer'y drama, "The Banker's
Child," will be presented at op
ra house, February 15, for one
night only. The story of the
play is captivating, with a plot
of intense interest, rising at the
end of each act with a climax of
wonderful power. The comedy
is bright and sparkling; the ao
tion terse, vivid and rapid. It is
a play that touches the great
chord of sympathy. Some very
elever singing and dancing spec-
ialties will be introduced.
If you want people to visit your
place of business and purchase
your goods, invite them through
an advertisement to pay your
house a call. If you do not want
their patronage keep your ada
out of the local paper. Spicy
store news well constructed is as
interesting to many readers as is
the town locals to others, and
they like to see neat and clear
ads, the kind we build.

safer than to let it run and cure it ifter-

Pneumonia or Bronchitis. Preventics
are little toothsome candy cold cure

sneeze, try Preventics. They will sure-
ly check the cold, and please you. sold

A Great Play.
"The Banker's Child" is pro-
nounced by press, pulpit and
public to be one of the best com-
edy dramas ever written. It is
now in its fifth year and has
played practically to the same
territory all this time, having vis-
ited many places five or six times
which proves beyond a doubt the
merit of the attraction.
