Woodrow’s Way.
Another smashing of precedent:
came on Wednesday when Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson personal]}
wrote a Washington newspapei
denying a story that had beer
published as the truth, by th<
newspaper the day before. Anc
the smashing of this precedent i:
fraught with a great deal 'of good
Presidents have just as much right
moral or legal, to object to mis
quotations of statements as the
ordinary mortal has. Had Mr.
i .Roosevelt or Taft taken the same
course a great many of their views
might have gone to the people
with much better chance of accep
' tance. Here's hoping Mr. Wilson
will continue to smash the cob
webbed precedents that are an
tiquated and useless.

leome into everv life.
SHE HAD BEEN IN EVIDENCE
Witness Made Only Statement of Fact
That to Him Was Beyond All
Dispute.
In a Texas town there lives an old
negress, Aunt Cynthia Johnson, who
iB sharp of tongue, and seldom at
peace with her female neighbors. Re
cently, as a result of a war of words
with one of her neighbors, she was
5 being tried in the recorder's court for
disturbance. She had refused* the
r court’s offer of an attorney, and was
i conducting her ov n case. Her main
f line of defense was an attempt to
prove good character and a reputation
» for peace. She had put several of
her church brothers and sisters on the
stand, and had made a fairly good
, case, when old Uncle Uevl Crlggle was
> called to the witness stand and the
following ensued:
“Brother Crlggle, how long have
you lived in my part of town and
knowed me?"
‘ " 'Bout ten years. Sister Johnson.”
“Brother Criggle, has you ever
. knowed of me startin’ any exturbance
among my neighbors or in my neigh
borhood where I live?”
"Now, Sistah Johnson, the judge
over thar done mr.de me hold up my
han’ an swar to tell the truth and all
the truth, and I’s boun’ to tell it jess
like it Is. All I got to say ’bout that,
is, I ain't never hearn that you ex
ackly started any tnsturbance, but all
the insturbances that's ever been
down in that end of town has had you
in ’em somewhar afore they wus
thru’.’’—Chicago Inter Ocean.
NOT THE MAN SHE WANTED
Bashful Youth 8eemlngly Had Little
Chance to Win the Lady of
His Heart.
A sharp-featured, determined littte
woman popped her head out of the
door and Indignantly demanded the
business of a bashful young man who
bad been hanging around the house
for hours in a pitiless downpour of
rain, hoping against hope that his
adored one would invite him in.
"Now, then, young feller, what do
yer want here? Tryin’ to wear the
pavement out, or what?” she de
manded, sarcastically.
"I reckon I’ve come a-courtin’
your daughter,” the shamefaced
youth admitted.
"Oh, y're after Lizzie, ar^ yer?
Then take my advice, young man, an'
run away an' lose yerself. My gal
ain't gain' to marry a chap that
hasn’t courage to knock at the door
an' ax for her—not likely! Why,
when her father came a-courtin' me
an' found the door locked, he climbed
the backyard wall, strangled the
bull dog, and knocked the old man
silly wi' a clump on the jaw. Then
he grabbed hold of my hand an'
shoved a ring as big as a cart-wheel
on my finger, and told me that the
banns were already up. That's the
sort of husband 1 want for our Liz
zie; not a shiverin’ milksop that ain't
got sense to come in out of the
rain!”
Walked Out With It.
There came into the office of a
western lawyer a man who was ex
cited because his wife had left, him,
and he feared she would run him into
debt all over the country.
"in that case,” said the lawyer,
"you had better post her."
His client, not knowing what post
ing meant, said he did not know where
she had gone, and besides, she was
fully as strong as he, and he did not
believe he was able to post her. The
attorney explained that he meant put
1 ting a notice in the newspapers say
ing: "Whereas, my wife Helen has
left my bed and board without any
Just—”
"But that ain't true.” interrupted
the client. “She didn't leave my bed.
She took it with her.”—Sunday Mag
azine.
Men Have Higher Regard for Poetry.
A public librarian recently gave me
! evidence that man's regard for poetry
is greater than woman's. Many pu
pil teachers and other students fre
quest his library, and come in quest
of books to help them in the study of
literature. He finds that when set* to
; study a poet, the man student usually
borrows that poet's works to read for
himself, but the woman says:
“Oh. I don't want to wade through
all that; give me a book that will
summarize his ideas and tel! me what
I ought to think about him."
And the usual way is to give the girl
a book that tells her. what a man
thinks she ought to think about poe
try.”—London Chronicle.

REASON FOR HIS IGNORANCE
Being Away From Home at the Time,
How Was Man to Know Why
His Wife Left Him?
The young rector of an Episcopal
church in Alabama, an Englishman,
by the way, was a ski'd recently to
officiate at the wedding of a negro
couple on a nearby plantation, ile
consented, but thought he would
beforehand learn something about
the contracting parties, go he said to
the prospective gropm:
“Have you ever been married be
fore ?”
“Yes, sir,” said the negro.
The alacrity of the response “put
a crimp” in the rector, so to speak,
and he asked with some uneasiness:
“Your wife is dead, is she not?"
“Naw, sab,” was the unexpected
reply, “she in Xorf Cn’lina.”
“Why did she leave you?” then
asked the rector.
“I can’t exactly tell you, sah,”
said the negro. “Ynh see, T wuz
erway from home at de time, an’ 1
ain’t been back dere since.”
WOULD HAVE BURNED "WITCH.”
A story of witch burning has just
come to light in the courts of Flor
ence, Italy. Some time ago an old
women named Faustina Bulli, who
I had the reputation in the town of
Figlini of being a sorceress, consid
ered herself insulted by a ‘young
woman and cursed her. “A curse
upon your eyes,” she cried, and when
the girl shortly afterward became
blind her parents dragged the
“witch” to a kiln to burn her alive.
Having tired the kiln, the avengers
poured petrol on the woman’s feet
and set fire to them before casting
her in. The would-be murderers
Hed, however, without waiting to see
if suceess attended their designs,
and Bulli managed to effect her es
cape from the kiln. The woman has
fully recovered.
SCULPTURE IN OLD TEMPLE.
Interesting discoveries have been
made at Cortina in Crete by ah Ital
ian party headed by Professor Ilalb
herr. These include a temple to
Egyptian divinities, onp of the arch
traves hearing a dedication by Fla
via Philyra. In a cell in the bnild
ing were found marble statues of
Tupiter, Serapis, Isis and Mercury,
(lie one of Serapis being exception
ally fine; also fragments of a colossal
statue of a women and a bust of a
woman, which are thought to be
those of the foundress of the temple.
MIX-UP.

old sayings.”

“If love is blind, how can there
he love at first sight ?”

“Why, mother?”
“A fat woman is wading out.”
ITS SPECIES.

TYhen the liver is torpid, it throws impurities into the system,
which hamper every organ in the body. The result is that func
tional processes are not properly carried on. Impurities get into
the blood, tlio stomach is bilious, tho kidneys weak and tho
bowcl3 irregular—generally constipated. Ilcrbine clears out all
these impurities, opens up the obstructed channels, strengthens
the torpid liver, cleanses the blood, purifies and regulates tho

looks bright and cheerful, which means, sound, healthy conditions
