It was Tiny Tim who said, "God bless us everyone." ,He did; not ask a blessing on the jrich or : the poor, the saints or the sinners, -the wise or the foolish, but on every one. a bro t . oil Human nature nas Deen our life study. We have grown tired of the frills and follies of the sects and the classes. A man's a man for all of that. He is endowed with conscience and with reason. In like rircumstances and under like en vironments most men are similiar. Thev were born alike, they all die alike and the history of the human race is but a narrative of man. All men are good some times and bad sometimes, just like mules, when pressed too close they all kick. When treated square they all act square. This is the rule of life. Of course there are perverted ex ceptions that bring the rule- into contempt just as there are the few axalted natures who have so mast ered the frailties of life:-that they live sublime. But ninety people out of every hundred are normal. Some pretend to greater goodness and some to greater badness 4 but deep down in the human soul are cords of love and beauty that vibrate in harmony with the sdngs of angels. It is the inhumanity of systems and agencies that create demons out of men. Far back in the ages the world was made along certain lines. Custom continues infractions of pre-ordained formalities. ; The first lesson a child must learn is to con form to fixed rules of thought and conduct. These may no$ appeal as perfect to them and they may hope to run counter to them; but this is foolish. The colt may hot like the collar at first but it soon 'thinks it all right. Reformers appear for a time but they soon lose their charm. Human nature is just where it was in the days of Greece and Rome It is folly to buck a universe. What was is, and ever will be.

Why Dinner Was Late. Among the passengers aboard a ship crossing the Atlantic recently, says the Philadelphia Star, was a man who stuttered. One day he hurried to the captain. -'S-s-s-s-' ' he stuttered. "Oh, I can't be bothered!" said the captain angrily. "Go to some body else." ' The man tried to speak to every one on board, but no one would wait to hear what he had to say. At last he came to the captain again. "Look here," said the captain, "I can tell you what to do when you want to say anything: you should sing it." Suddenly, in a tragic voice, the man began to sing: Should auld acquaintance be for got and never brought to mind? The blooming cook's fell over board and is twenty miles be hind. Plain Country Editor is Good Enough Title. The Herald, of Hertford, takes up the cudgels of good old-fashioned expressions like "country editor," and thinks that the older a man gets in the newspaper game, the prouder he becomes of his distinc tion as editor of a real country pa per, lhe Herald's editorial in part follows: Colleges which train young men and women in special lines are do ing many things for the advance ment of the country and the world. There are- agricultural colleges which are turning boys out at jzi years of age who are better farmers than their grandfathers at 75. There are domestic science schools which are making better housekeepers of young girls than their mothers and grandmothers ever were. And there are schools of journalism which are putting into newspaper offices boys with training equal to the old fel lows who have spent their lives at the desks. But, in all these schools there are outcroppings of the callowness of youth. For instance, many young graduates from agricultural schools blush when they are called farmers -they want a name of more digni fied tone. Some young women from the scientific courses object to the plain, old-fashioned names, and speak of their "domestic science." In the schools of journalism the same spirit prevails among a certain class of graduates. They are journ alists," and they do not want to be known as editors of "country" newspapers. That term has been the pride of the old fellows, be cause it distinguishes them from the city newspaper man. Around the name of "country newspaper' clings much of the ro mance and inspiration of the busi ness, and the older a man gets in the" business, the more he is proud of his distinction as editor of a real country newspaper.

Thev' re often overworked they don't get the poison filtered out of the blood. Will vou help them? ' Doan's Kidney Pills have brought benefit to thousands of kidney suf ferers. Ask your neighbor? Read this Lexington case: Mrs A. M. Neese, 26 E. Sixth Ave., Lexington,, N.

Des Moines Register: Bachelors who prefer their club to a wife and kiddies; and old maids who place the song of a canary above the cry a uauc, ucware iest 3-ou cue 111 tne state ot Iowa! A number of wealthy bachelors and rich spins ters within the last six years have died minus kith and kin, and Iowa derived 4,820,000 thereby. Iowa does not 1 permit estates and big sums of money left behind by those who die Without heirs to go to waste. The thirty-fifth general as sembly provided for just this emer gency and arranged that Iowa should receive such unclaimed es tates. The net result is 4,820, 000 in the permanent school fund of the state. The law is known as the collateral inheritance tax. It provides for advertising of estates for six months after the death of any person who apparently has neither children, heirs or descend ants. Should no heirs appear the state treasurer swings back the vault door and the state auditor merrily counts off the dollars left by the heirless descendants. ' 'The moral is, for bachelors and rich old maids to get married," said an at tache of the auditor's office. "If you don!t, well, Iowa will spend your money ufter you are dead and gone." Do Figures Lie? The Shipbuilder. ' An Irishman working for a Dutchman asked for an increase of. piy. - The Dutchman replied : "If you are worth it, I will be pleased to give it to you. Now let us see what you do in a year, Pat. We have 365 days in a year, you sleep eight hours every day, which makes 122 days you sleep, taken from 365 days, leaves 243. Now you have eight hours' recreation every day, which makes 122 days, taken from 243 days, leaves 121 da)'S. We have 52 Sundays in a year which you have off, leaving you 69 days. You have 14 days vacation; take this off and you have 29 days left. You don't .work Saturday after noons; this makes 26 days in a year. Take this off and you have 29 days left, Now, Pat, you allow one and one-half hours for meals, which to tal in a year 28 days. Take this off and you have one day left. I always give you St. Patrick's day off, so Ixask you, Pat, if you are entitled to a raise? Pat then answered, "Well, what the divil have I been doing, then?" No Great Act of Heroism Required If some great act of heroism was necessary to protect a child from croup, no mother would hesitate to protect her offspring, but when it is only necessary to keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and give it as soon as the first indication of croup appears; there many who neglect it. Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is within the reach of all and is prompt and effectual. Yes, Why? If two or more Christian organi zations can harmonize their differ ences and unite into one world movement one day, why, not into one city movement all the time and have only one organization, and save all the extra salaries and run ning expenses for missions city, state, home and foreign? Yes, why not? Hickory Times Mercury, - Colds Cause Grip and Influenza LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets remove the cause. There , ianhr one "Hromo Qulaiae.

Everybody you meet can tell ex actly how and why the election went as it did and no two say and mean the same. If they had piled a few more big guns down on this district, such as Joe Daniels and others, they would have sunk Hoey's little canoe of State clean" out of sight. Call it "ignorance" if you choose but every school boy knows that if the league does not mean that in case of war in Europe, we will have to go over and help them, what does it mean? Was it ignorance in Washington and Jefferson when they warned us against such a League? Was it ig norance in Wilson in 19 15 when he said, "The first duty of a nation is to express its own individual prin ciples in the action of the family of nations and not to seek to aid and abet any rival or contrary ideal?" More Democratic Economy. Dr. W. Carson Ryan of the fed eral bureau of education has rec ommended to Congress the dropping of 7,000 workers from the govern ment service. The Republicans in Congress have for some time been making preparations to go several better in this respect by severing 40,000 deserving Democrats from the service. That will save the tax-payers something like $50,000, 000 annually in the way of salaries. There were 27.000 workers on -the government payrolls in Washington at the close of the Republican Ad ministration and the Republicans were severely scored by the Demo crats for such extravagance. There I are 107,000 workers on those pay-; rolls now, or an increase of nearly i 300 per cent. This is one among j many examples of "Democratic! economy." Ex. I The Best Cough Medicine. j When a druggist finds that his cus- j tomers all speak well of a certain ! preparation, lie forms a good opin ion of it and when in need of such a medicine is almost certain to use it himself and in his family. This is why so many druggists urge and recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. J. B. Jones, a well known druggist of Cubrun, Ky., says, "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my family for the past seven years, and I have touud it to be the best cough medicine I have ever known." Making Mistakes. When a plumber makes a mis take, he charges twice for it. When a lawyer makes a mistake, it is just what he wanted, because he has a chance to try the case all over again. When a carpenter makes a mis take, it is just what he expected. When a doctor makes a mistake, he buries it. When a judge makes a mistake, it becomes the law of the land. - When a pieacher makes a mis take nobody knows the difference. But when an editor makes a mis take, good night! Exchange.
