No razor-back has ever been known to die, or even feel tem- perarily indisposed, from the bite of a sunake, hence he is clad in im- pervious armor in his war on the enemies of mankind. e Thirty-five years is the sum total of the time Sidna Allen must spend in the penal gervice of the State of Virginia for ‘“shooting up” the court at Hillsville in that State, ani incidentally Kkilling the judge and the prosecuting attorney while do- ing s0.

S SS—— Congressman Roddenbury, of Georgia, woke the echues in the House at Washington on his resolu- tion anent the matter of the inter- parriage of whites and nezroes in tLis country. He told the cold truth when he said: “No brutality, infamy or degrada- tion in all the days of southern slav- ery poscessed such villianous char- acteristics and atrocious qualities as the permission that allowed such marriages by law in this country.” 0 Money is no object to Mr. Jeffer- son Levy, the New York congress- man who owns Monticello, the old Virginia bhomestead of Thomas Jefl business man, who had sized up the situation by its effect upon his busi- ness and who has been at the busi- ness headquarters of the country Vith his hand on the pulse of things. lere is a New York dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer of late date v hich tells about him and what he thinks.

Mr. Omwake's business is of a character, so widespread is its ramifications, as to give him oppor- tunity for a clear insight into what tke country’s enterprises stand most | in need of to insure even sailing and cessation from the turmoil and un- rest that so often arose, and which | so thoroughly upset plans of pro- gressive men who seek to be up and deing at all times. “l have talked with men who are at the head of the largest kind of business institutions, both in New York and throughout the ('ountry.";E said Mr. Omwake. *I find them to Le largely of one opinion.

LUKE MCLUKE SAYS Phila- . A woman is certain of Heaven, bui ycu can't convince her that her dress is all 0. K. behind. After the third month of m:nrrh-dq life she is surprised when he doesn't iss her when he comes home, and ofter the third year she is surprised if he doesn’t cuss her when he comes hcme. One reason why railroad wrecky are 80 numerous nowadays is that the girls have no red petticoats with which to flag trains. A man nevor wants to trespass un- til he sees the sign, “No Trespuss- ing.” That's the reason there are so many shooting matches in married circles. Talking about women being vain, 2 man has to be a mighty low-down, hopeless cuss when he doesn’t imag- ine that two or three women are “stuck” on him. In spite of all the hay loft and high life scandals 1 still believe that the world is growing better. For ev- ery scandal there are a thousand married couples who believe in one another and try to do the righ; thing. A single girl belleves that she Pleases all the men, but a married girl finds that it is impossible to even please one man. A man’s wife always tells him tha: the man next door behaves himself, congs home at a decent hour and takes his wife everywhere he goes But that is just what the woman Lext door tells her husband abou: the man next door.
