You may be overestimated, but
not half so much as the first straw
berries of the season.
Our idea of a real heroine. A
woman who marries a man to re
form him, does it and doesn’t brag
about her achievement.
WE MUST BLAME OURSELES.
The cotton farmers are in trou
ble because thousands let the good
price of cotton make them lose
their heads and plant all the land
possible in cotton. One would
suppose that the farmers of the
South had had enough of that ex
perience in the past. If one-third
the area had been planted in cotton
on a good farming basis, there
would not have been anything like
the trouble there is, because the
cotton would have been grown at a
lower cost, and other crops in the
rotation would make up the differ
ence and the farmers would be
getting cash for oats and corn and
hogs and cattle. The best plan
is to make a good rotation of crops
and stick to it and never let cotton
run away with your land because it
brings a good price in one season.
— W. F. Massey, in The Progress
ive Farmer.
WHY THE PARCELS POST WILL COME.
It is inconceivable how any in
telligent class of men can honestly
believe that better and more trans
portation facilities can really be an
injury to the country. If the par
cels post will be a benefit to the
country at large, then the
opposition of the retail merchants
is actuated by motive of selfish
ness. It is certain that the num
ber of people served by the mer
chants who oppose the parcels post
is greater than the number of
these merchants. It is also diffi
cult to see how it can hurt these
merchants unless it benefits their
customers who are greater in
number. If it hurts the merchants
and benefits a greater number of
farmers and others, why is it not
a good thing for the Nation as a
whole? Is not the basic principle
of our form of government, the
greatest good to the greatest num
ber?—The Progressive Farmer.

Democratic Party Has Opportunity of
Signalizing Its Return to Power
With the Election of an
Ideal Chief Executive.
Significant Missouri Comment.
—Independence (Mo!) Examiner—The
Clinton Democrat remarks: “Many
Missourians would be glad to see
Champ Clark President; others would
prefer Jos. W. Folk; but if the nom
ination has to leave this State nine
out of ten Missouri Democrats would
prefer Gov. Woodrow Wilson. This
is very significant.”
Sinister Purpose Apparent.
Raleigh (N. C.) News-Observer—
When you read a New York paper
complimenting some Southern man or
State for "Conservatism" in the same
article that it opposes Woodrow Wil
son, it may be well to look and see
to what party and business interest
the aforesaid paper belongs.
Michigan for Wilson.
Marquette (Mich.) Minn. Journal—
The New Jersey candidate has a big
following among the Democrats of
Michigan imd stands a fair show of
having the Wolverine delegation in
the National convention ranged be
hind his banner.
Wisconsin Seeing the Light.
Milwaukee (Wis.) Journal—Just go
ahead and nominate Taft, with Wil
son the opposing candidate, and see
what happens to the Grand Old Party
right here in Wisconsin. There’ll be
the worst grade-crossing horror that
ever happened north *of Neenah.
See Wilson as Next President,
Roswell (N. M.) Record—The Re
publican newspapers are afraid of
Woodrow Wilson for 1912 and their
fear is made manifest in a variety
of ways. Since the election of last
week when New Jersey did not do so
well as it might have done, these pa
pers have taken occasion to renew
their attacks on Wilson. But, never
theless, Woodrow Wilson will be elec
ted president of the United States'
next year.

General Trend Toward Wilson.
■Winder (Ga.) News—According to
the sentiment of the country, as
shown by interviews in newspapers as
well as editorials, the trend toward
the nomination of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson, of New Jersey, for the presi

They Are Afraid of Him.
Ottawa (Kan.) Republican—It is a
significant fact that the Taft news
papers all have a special antipathy!
for Woodrow Wilson. They make a
prominent display of every item of
news that seems to favor any other
candidate for the Democratic nomina
tion. Wonder Why?
Wilson Boom Overshadows All.
Boston (Mass.) Traveler — The
Woodrow Wilson boom nowadays is
making several other presidential det
onations sound like muffled popguns.

Fresno (Cal.) Herald—The nomi

Wilson is the most favorably talked

Highest Type of Democrat.
Houston (Tex.) Chronicle—Signs
are multiplying on every side that
Woodrow Wilson is the best man for
the Democrats to put up, because ho
is the highest type o.f Democrat, an
American of the character and cali

whose names illuminate the pages of i
our history.
Appeals to Thinking People.
Springfield (Vt.) Reporter—Gover
nor Woodrow Wilson recently said in
a public address: “The immediate
thing we have got to do is to resume
popular government.” Irrespective ot
past party affiliations, or party pros
pects, this is a pronouncement that
will appeal strongly to a great many
thinking people. Is it one that the
Republican leaders in Vermont and
elsewhere can afford to ignore?
And He Has Something to Say.
Knoxville (Tenn.) Sentinel—An ex
change is perturbed with fear that
Woodrow Wilson may talk too much.
The veiled meaning of this hint is
that it is wiser for a candidate to
whisper his attitude to the trusts
than to take the public into his con
fidence. However, we can see no ob
jection to public discussion so long
as one has anything to say.
! THREE OF !
I THEM I
Jack Robinson wondered for the
tenth time that day why he had come
to Midland Reach alone. If there was
one place where companionship, either
masculine or feminine, made life en
joyable, it was at the beach. Besides,
Robinson disliked his own company.
It therefore must have had piloted
him to the sands of Midland.
Robinson turned over on his side
and made ready for a doze when he
became aware that someone had
planked herself, with much fuss over
filmy laces and the disposal thereof,
close beside him. Her red parasol
started to escape with a gust of wind,
but unfortunately lor Robinson she
caught it. He knew instinctively that
he could not go in for a common flir
tation with this girl, yet, had he res
cued a pretty parasol from the clutch
es of wind and perhaps briny sea it
might have been different.
Out of half-closed eyes Robinson
watched her open a small volume. She
did not read, however, she seemed
strangely alive to her surroundings.
Robinson was unaware that she had
appraised his own perfect yhysique
and thick gold hair before deciding
upon the particular spot of sand upon
which to ensconce herself.
Robinson's boredom had vanished:
he watched with the utmost fascina
tion every movement of the girl be
side him. Her hair wras spun cop
per and blew maddeningly near her
thick, dark lashes and her lips rivaled
tiie scarlet of her sun-shade. Annoy
ed by the confinement of he gloves
she pulled them off and settled her
self to more thorough enjoyment of
the sand.
Then it was that the day grew
darker for Robinson. She was mar
ried! A sparkling diamond as well as
the .band of proprietorship shone on
her hand.
ried flirt! If there was one person |
Robinson disliked it was a young mar
ried flirt. He stalked to his bath- 1
house and flung on his white flannels
with a haste that quite undid the ;
(tooling effect of his dip. Robinson ,
was incensed; much more so than the
slight occurrence warranted. When
he arrived on the board walk he
seemed to see a hundred red para
sols, all bobbing in different direc
tions He refused to glance under '
any of them ; nd when the boat pulled r
out in the evening with him on board
he had a feeling of relief as well as
one of disappointment that he had not
again seen the little lady.
Prest ntly he heard the chatter of
voices, close to him. There seemed ‘
to be three of them, two girls and a
man. They began to sing—all the old
songs that Robinson was fond of and
knew so well.
Robinson could have sung tenor
backwards and he unconsciously hum
med aloud. He saw a man’s head
peer out from the darkness and felt
rather than saw that he was being
inspected.
’’Come and join us—tve need a ten
or." Tom Everly, being married and
a good fellow', had no scruples against
strangers; he felt perfectly capable of
taking care of his women folks.
Robinson moved’over and raised his
hat. "My name is Robinson,” he said.j
"Thanks f*r dragging me from the pit
of melancholia.”
"My name is Everly,” said the bass.
“Let me introduce my wife and my
sister.”
The boat had been coming about
and now the moon shone full upon the |
faces of the quartet. Robinson turned !
quickly and met the same eyes that
had looked into his on the beach—
those of the married flirt. He knew,
now that he was near her again, that
her charm had lingered, sub-conscious
l.v. in his brain and he had met her
husband, yet the feeling was the same
lie was a cad. He liked Tom Everly
immensely and had hoped to continue
the friendship—now it would be im
possible. .!
Robinson racked his brain for a pre
text under w hich he might, without
rudeness, leave the three but nothing
presented itself.
“I tMnb f win r\ tv hrm .-R 1
afternoon, Mr. Robinson?” Babette
Everly spoke for the first time. "I
think you are a woman hater.”
‘‘I—I—no indeed —"
“Only married, t^vn?” Tlie Jocular
tone covered up the depths of the
girl's inquiry.
“Not guilty In either case," laughed
Robinson.
”1 have been guilty of the latter for
a whole afternoon,” pouted Babette,
"and 1 am tired of it. Here, Carol,
take your old wedding ring. I suppose
you have forgotten that you gave me
your rings when you and Tom went
swimming—-”
Robinson looked up—it seemed as If
the dawn were already rising. Cer
tainly everything was clearer and
more beautiful and Babette Everly’s
voice was going on.
“Besides, 1 really think that Mr.
Robinson has considered me a mar
ried woman all along.” She cast a
sidelong glance at the tenor of their
quartet.
"And you will think so yourself—
one of these days if I have anything
to do with it.” thought Robinson.
A Different Angle.
“Charlie’s perfectly wild over his
new motor car," remarked a man to a
friend.
"Wild over it!" responded the lat
ted. "You should see and hear him
when he’s under it!”—Lippincott’s
Magazine.

For Those Who Hear Not.
The hallboy had fairly split his
throat shouting directions to deaf per
sons who had called to see Mr.
Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz lived in the
fourth floor rear, right-hand apart
ment, through the long hull and up
the back stairs. It took a good deal
of shouting to make some folks under
stand that.
“I never saw so many deaf people
in my life.” said the boy. “What on
ecrth are they all l*unning up to
Schwartz's for?”
“Mr. Schwartz has advertised a deaf
man’s phonograph for sale,” said a
neighbor. “He is very hard of hear
ing. The phonograph was made espe
cially for him. It has an unusually
loud tone. Nobody but the hard-of
hearing can live with such entertain
ment. Mr. Schwartz, to save trouble,
has advertised for a deaf purchaser.”
Her Mind Relieved.
"Charley, dear,” said young Mrs.
Torkins, “what is a jackpot?”
"Why—er—a jack]>ot is a general
contribution for purposes of charitable
donation.”
"Oh! Do you know I was afraid it
had something to do with the wicked
ness of politics!”
