Pigests what you eat Political Phrases While many believe that Ben jamin Franklin was the author of the phrase "an axe to grind" and the writer of the little story which was utilized, to show its significance, there is good reason to believe that the originator of it was Charles Miner, and that it first appeared in one of Pennsyl vania country newspapers in the year 1811. 'Mending his fences," origina ted in 1880, when John Sherman was a candidate for the Republi can presidential nomination. Shortly before the convention Sherman dropped out of the Sen ate's activities and went to his farm in Ohio. He was followed by a reporter, who came upon the senator while he, with his brother-in-law, was renewing the wornout rails that inclosed his estate. The reporter asked how Mr. Sherman was employing his time, and the brother-in-law, laughing said: "Why don't you see? He is mending his fence." 'Tipelaying"wasaterra which for manyyears Minified fraud at the polls. It developed dm ingthe New York campaign in 1835. he Whigs were charged with trying to import a large number of yoters from Philadelphia, and o prove the allegation letters were introduced in which it was sought to show that the illegal voter were referred to as many yards of pipe. This form was em ployed, it was said, because the buildincr of the Croton water pipes was then under way. While men were indicted, they were ac quitted, yet the phrase was in common use for many years. Nowadays it has given way to more specific terms, such as ''re peating." ballot box stuffing," etc ("Gerrymander," which means to re-arrange the boundaries of senatorial and legislative dis tricts of a state to suit the needs of the dominant party, is some times quite puzzling to the per son who tries to figure out its definition without consulting a dictionary. In 1811, whil El- bridge Gerry was elected govern or of Massachusetts by the Dem ocrats, who also got control of both houses of the legislature, it was thought advisable by them to redistric the State that their power would be permaneut. When the map of the state was Bhown to Gilbert Stuart, he remarked that it looked like salamander, "But it's really a gerrymander," retorted a wit "I oclfnowledire the corn ' was originally a political term, but it is uowadays found useful in ma ny other circles as a witty way of making u necessary retraction. During a congressional debate m 1828 Andrew Stewart made the assertion that Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana sent their haystacks, cornfields and fodder to Phila delphia and to New York to be sold. This statement was not lit eral enough to suit Congressman Wickliffe, and he rose to deny it, declaring that the states sent horses, mules, cattle and hogs.' "Yes; you put thirty bushels of corn into the shape of a bog and make it walk off to an east ern market," retorted Stewart. And then, seeing what his adver sary was driving at, Mr. Wick liffe, with a saving grace of hu mor, covered bis retreat by say ing, "Mr. Speaker, I acknowl edge the corn." . "To make up a slate" is be lieved to have originated through an early custom of using a slate when a ticket was being arrang ed, so that the changes could be (easily made in order to arrive at a harmonious result. Philadel phia Tress. ' . DeWin'SlWBOLIZED WITCH HAZEL SALVE For Pile, Burns, Soree, M ennment to "Uncle Remus." (Charlotte News.) Scan-ely over the death ot any public character in years h a s there been such universal mani- testation of grief as over the ta- king off of "Uncle Remus " The press of the entire nation has contained hundreds ot expres- sions of regret, and tributes, to the memory of Joel Chandler Harris and his writings have beenalmo8t countlt-ss. From President down to the most hum ble. sorrow over the death of this great man ha been written and BDoken. But after all the sense of bereavement to the il dren of the land is greatest. Doz . I ens of litttle tots have written of their sorrow, and here we quote aBample communication which appeared in the Atlanta Consti tution "Editor Constitution: What in the world are we going to do without Uncle ltemus; We are heartbroken because he died and Brer Fox and Br,or Rabbit and Sis Cow won't never seem the same way any more. We don't know what the children will do now. Oh, Mr. Editor, isn't it too , iuii uuiuui. uu u iu iuv bad?WelovedUncleRemisbet-r . .

"The friend of littlechildren" so lie was known. Tbe same was said of the Nazarene, who bade little children come unto Him YUt vuiiuivu vwuv uuiw The pages of history relat deedsof many great men. We listen to the narration of their conquests and victories and their heroic achievements stir pride. But the world has been far too poorly stocked with those great hearts whom tbe people loved, rather than admired, because they were loved in return. Too manyofour heroeslwere selfish.

What a world would this be U in eacn community tnere were many men like Eugene Field and Dncle Remus great men with the heart of a child the child's dreams and fnncyings and sym pathies. Too many of us have our childish sympathies scared bv the lust of riches; the self-cen- tered ambition lor fame in this . way or that. Our child heart ha been swapped for a puny "mess of pottage" in the form of busi- ness success, social position, po- litbal attainment and while we fancy the morsal is relished for a space, we know we have missed the best in life that ours is a di- et of wormwood.
