Origin of the Toothfcrush.
When did the English first nilopt the
toothbrush habit, which is now being
denounced by certnin medical author
ities? in “Esmond” Thackeray makes
Lord Castlewood spend "» tenth part
of his day In the brushing of his
teeth and the oiling of Ills hair,” and
in doing so the novelist commits a
double anacronism. During the first
half of the eighteenth century all fine
gentlemen wore wigs and had no use
for oil on their hair, while the tooth
brush was as late as 1754 unknown to
I.ord Chesterfield. Writing to his soil.
Chesterfield says: “I hope you take,
great eare of your mouth and teeth
cud that you clean them well every
morning with a sponge and tepid wa
ter, with a few drops of arqwebusade
water dropped into it. 1 do Insist upon
your never using those stieks, or hard
substance whatever, which always rub
away the gums and destroy it he var
nish of the teeth.”—Loudon (Titronlcle. i

RATION, 6309 S. Eggleston,
CHICAGO. ILL. adv. 2
A great many people have been
under the impression that Amend
ment No. 12 levies a 12 mill tax
on everybody. As a matter of fact
Amendment No. 12 does not levy
any tax at all. It leaves the ques
tion cf tax purely optional to be
settled by each district for itself a’

Saturday in May each year.
J. G. Freeman, one of the most
successful farmers of this end of

ton on 42 acres of land and gives
credit to the fact that last year as
soon as his crop was gathered hr
turned his cattle into the co tor
fields to eat the top folage and ths
boll weevil that were in it. Hi'
crop is all gathered and the cattle
have been turned into his field for
several weeks this year. He ad
vises every farmer who expects tc
olant cotton next year to do this at
once as there are hundreds of bol
weevils in the late bo'ls of cotton
which will not open that will pre
vent “verybody from raising cotton
next year if not killed off this.

OLD SOUTHERN WIT
GOOD STORIES OF TOM MAR
SHALL STILL BEING TOLD.
Ill-Advised Was the Person Who En
gaged in Word Duel With Famous
Kentuckian Who Flourished
“Befoh the Wah."
Of the witty Tom Marshall of Ken
tucky, who flourished in the halcyon
days “befoh the wah,” anecdotes are
still extant. Once there had been a
disagreement between him and the
judge before whom he was making
an argument. “1 am not,” said Mar
shall, “such an ass as your honor”—
here the learned counsel was over
taken by a tit of coughing—then he
finished his sentence—“seems to
think.”
“Mr. Clerk,” said the court, “enter
a fine agninst Mr. Marshall of $10 for
an unnecessary Interregnum in his
sentence.” “I am short of ready cash
this morning,” said Tom, “will your
honor kindly lend me $10?” “Mr.
Clerk,” said the judge, “you may remit
that fine. The state of Kentucky is
better able to lose the money than I
am.”
On another occasion Tom, indignant
at a ruling of the judge, exclaimed:
“Your honor, Jesus Christ was convict
ed on just such rulings of the court
that tried him.” “Mr. Marshall,” said
the judge, “you are fined $10 for con
tempt of court.” “Your honor,” said
Toni, “I never before knew or heard of
anybody being fined for abusing Pon
tius Pilate."
“What time is It, Mr. Marshall?”
said the judge.. “I don’t know,” re
plied Tom. “My watch is with my
uncle, and If your honor continues to
decide against me as you have hith
erto done, it is not likely that I will
be able to relieve my uncle of its cus
tody.”
Miss Breckenridge of Kentucky was
a society belle who had a beautiful
octoroon girl for a tuaid. She hud
rooms at the Galt house and one day
Tom, meeting the pretty servant girl
in a hotel hall when no one else was
present, engaged her in conversation
and ended by giving her a kiss, which
was warmly returned. Thereupon
Tom, who was always gallant and had
a Southern gentleman’s liking for
maids with a dash of color from “Af
rie’s sunny fountains” In their veins,
gave her what he supposed was a
ten-dollar gold piece, but which turned
out to he a gold medal that had been
presented to him by the citizens of
Frankfort in recognition of some pub
lic service. The girl tried to change
the gold medal at the hotel counter,
but the clerk took it from her und
gave it to her mistress, who ques
tioned her and she told the truth as
to how she obtained It. Miss Brecken
ridge determined to punish Tom and
relating the incident to a bevy of her
female friends that evening at a so
cial function where Marshall was pres
ent, surrounded by the hostess and a
dozen Indies, approached Tom and
tendering him the medal exclaimed,
“Mr. Marshall, here is something be
longing to you which I wish to return
to you.” Tom took the medal with a
bow and exclaimed, “Miss Brecken
ridge, if I had known it was you I
wouldn’t have given you a cent.”
Erzerum.
Erzerum, which has suddenly sprung
Into the notice nnd interest of the
world during the progress of the pres
ent Russian campaign in the East, says
the Manchester Guardian, has been
identified with the Byzantine Theodosi
opolis, which was a fortified outpost of
the Grecian empire. It fell to the Sel
juks in the year 1201, and Just three
centuries later passed to the Turks. It
had already on two occasions been in
possession of the Russians—in 1829.
when it was captured and held until
the peace of Adrianople of that year,
and in 1878, when it was restored to
the Turks after the treaty of Rerlfn.
The normal population of Erzerum
amounts to about 43,000, ten or
twelve thousand of whom are
Armenians and 2,000 Persians. Its
public buildings, with the possible
exception of one, which dates back
to the beginning of the' Seljuk
period, are of no particular distinction.
As in most towns in Turkey, the
streets are narrow, crooked, dirty and
badly drained, nnd there are few trees
In the neighborhood.
Uncle Sam Is “Poor Pay."
Mrs. Norton, living in poverty, but
still hopeful, in a New York tenement,
is the widow of Marcus I’. Norton, the
inventor of the postage cancellation
stamp used in the United States. His
claim to the invention was acknowl
edged and patented by the United
States government. Its use by the post
office department was authorized, and,
according to the department’s own fig
ures, that use has saved the govern
ment $20,000,000. The government 40
years ngo offered him $100,000 in set
tlement. But up to 1916, 03 years after
the government took over and began
to use the invention, not one cent has
ever been paid to Mr. Norton or his
heirs.
