HOW FAR HAVE WE
FALLEN.
"Let reverence for the laws be
Xaught in schools in seminaries
and in colleges; let it be written in
primers spelling books and alma
-nacs; let it be preached from the
jpulpit proclaimed in legislative
faalls and enforced in courts of jur
tice. And in short let it become
the political religion of the nation;
-and let tho old and the young the
rich and the poor the grave and
the gay of all sees and tongues
and colors and conditions sacrifice
unceasingly upon its altars.
Do you know who said it? says
the Fort Worth Telegram. Abra
sham Lincoln in an address many
years ago before the Young Men's
iyceum of Springfield 111. Cora
ing down with the weight of fifty
years behind them the words sound
somewhat strange in these days of
complex court decisions unusual
interpretations of legislative intent
superior methods of evading the
ipeualty for crime and the some
what hazy belief which has filmed
over the minds of many "it makes
aio difference what law you break
if you can afford to hire a good
lawyer."
Is there anywhere in the United
States today that the same view of
that expounded by Lincoln pre
vails? And if there isn't has our
ciange in view point come in the
.people or in the laws themselves?
vConsidering the increase in pop
ulafion it would seem tberej is
less law-breaking now than there
was in the days -when Lincoln was
a country lawyer. Newspaper re--iports
of the big cases and exclu-
sion of the little ones have given
Tts a much twisted view of litiga-
tion. In trying to follow the com-
plexities of a 29000000 fine we
fetrget to compare facts to learn
'whether the widow and the father-
less have a better chance to be pro-
jected from rascality now than
they did sixty years ago.
Thanks to our ( improved laws
-or our more honest way of looking
nt things they have.
At no time in our history as'a
nation has there been so much
eare in our legislation to protect
lShe -minors the defectives the
aged all the helpless part of our;
great dependent population. Only
at its last session the Texas legis-
lature passed a-law which ought j
to stop family abandonment.
Do you remember that coal in- j
irestigation in West Virginia a few
years ago when the little shippers j
iiad as big a chance in the United j
" States courts as the biggest barons
represented ly highly paid law-
yers? It wasn't always so.
Undoubtedly we have grown in
charity and fairness and broadness
wen if we have fallen a long dis-
tance away from the dictum of
Lincoln. And perhaps we are not
JSixe worse for it.

Have Learned This Fact-
THE TIPPING NUISANCE.
When a healthy man or woman
begins to rundown without ap-
parent cause becomes weak lan:
guid depressed suffers backache
headache dizzy spells and urinary
disorders look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the kid-
neys well and they will keep you
well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them' well.
P. Anderson carpenter liv-
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi Texas says:
"My Kidneys have given me more
or less trouble for the past two
years. A sharp twinge of pain at
times darting through my back
loins and the secretions were too
frequent and caused much annoy-
ance especially in the winter. My
son saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised and brought home a box.
I used them and obtained great
benefit. The action of the kidneys
was corrected and my back has
given me no trouble since. I can
recommend Doan's '. Kidney ills

There is a fourth too but the
fourth interior plague of the thea
ter takes a great deal of space and
ill temper to describe it. She is the
ouvreuse the official box opener and
seat finder the counterpart of the
usher in Nctf York but displaying
an itching palm and a very unpleas-
ant disposition when not paid to be
cenial. The ouvreuse is the worst
parasite of the" Parisian theater
and few indeed are thev from whom
she fails to draw blood.
Her hand is not extended until
the close of the performance but
she begins to get her line work m
at -once. Not that she makes any
pretense of finding the boxes or
seat's that the tickets presented to
her call for. The kicker denes any
one in Paris to come forward and
swear that she ever found his place
for him. Nobody could make such
an affidavit without committing per-
jury he says. But what she does is
grab his hat and overcoat and walk-
ing cane. These she locks up in a
chamber of horrors which she calls
the cloakroom and thenceforward
the victim is at her mercy. He can-
not escape without paying tribute.
It is up wonder that the ouvreuse
devotes more attention to collecting
her revenue than to seating the au
dience. It is a serious matter for
her. Not only has she to make her
nvmg out oi lr nut sne must aiso
make up the quota of "the house."
In one theater the ouvreuse pays 7
francs or $1.4t a night for her
rivilege. Sometimes it is more or
ess but always somewhere between
5 and 10 franc3 except in two or
three of the best theaters which
have tried to reform the system.
One or two go so far as to pay a sal-
ary but even in these there is such
a pleading look in the poor woman's
eyes as she surrenders one's light
baggage that no man with a tender
heart can keep his hand out of his
change pocket. He knows the wom-
an is under heavy expenses. She
must be expensively dressed in up
to date style to keep her job.
But occasionally a man will re-
volt. One tells how one June even-
ing he went to a variety theater
alone. He dodged the ouvreuse at
a busy moment slipped down the
aisle found his seat by himself and
sat down in it with an expression of
unconscious innocence. As it was
warm he had no overcoat and he
hid his hat under' the seat. All the
same toward the end of the per-
formance the ouvreuse appeared
with outstretched hand.
"What for?" he asked.
'Tor service" she answered.
"What service?"
"The customary service."
"But you gave me nor. Why
should I give you an3-thing r
"Oh pardon" she explained in a
good audible tone. "I did not rec-
ognize that monsieur was a dead-
head!" This brought him. to time and ho
gave her a franc. New York Sun.
Making Panama Hats.
The panama hat industry is car-
ried on in the departments of Cun-
dinamarca Tolima Antioquia and
Santander in. the republic of Co-
lombia but mostly in the last
named department where it is the
breadwinner to more than one-half
tof its population. There are no
regular factories but the hats are
hand woven by thousands of peasant
women in almost as many house-
holds and sold or traded in the lo-
cal stores in. exchange for provj-
lions or articles of clothing the hat
being in. these Tegion3 a convenient
medium of exchange the housewife
exchanging the product of her labor
for so many pounds of flour sugar;
etc. Panama hats are made -with
the veins of fibers of a palm leaf
the tissues of which are scraped off
or combed in. much the same way as
ienip. Baltimore Sun.
"YOU ALL" IN THE SOUTH.
Phrase a
some of
of -d
What Makes This Popular
Provincialism.
Philologists claim that
the most interesting phases
language may be traced through tho
medium of so called colloquialisms
Firsirj and idioms and a consideration of
the phrase "you all" as useo
throughout the south grald cer-
tainly seeni to make good this as-
sertion. The subject is treated in
TJncle IJeinus' Magazine in an arti-
cle by C. Alphonso Smith of the
University of North Carolina! He
sa-s in part :
'Tn almost every discussion of
this idiom the disputants have con-
fined 'themselves to the question
Ts it used in the south as a singu-
lar?' Northern writers have gen-
erally supported' the affirmative
vhile southern writers have defend-
ed the negative. In fact Mason
and Dixon's line will have to be re-
traced ancLmade to mark not a po-
litical but an idiomatic distinction.
Tho shibboleth is no longer What
do you think of slavery or secession
or state rights? but On the con-
tested use of you all are you for the
singular or for the plural?
.''Southern people undoubtedly
use you all in a sense particularly
their own and fiot as the equiva-
lent of all of you. '
"What then is the distinctive
meaning attached to this idiom in
the south ? What makes the phrase
a provincialism as used in the
south but not a provincialism as
used elsewhere? The following
sentences will illustrate:
"First. A mother to her chil-
dren 'If you all (you children) don't
make less noise I'll send you to
bed.'
"Second. A teacher to his pu-
pils. 'You all (you pupils) haven't
half studied this lesson.'
"In not one of these characteris-
tic sentenes would a southerner
ever think of substituting all of you
for you all. Both idioms are plural
but the distinctive thing about
southern you all is not its plural
sense but its representative sense
together with the accent on you.
'You all therefore with the ac-
cent on you is not an error for
you all with the accent on all or
for all of you.
"It is something entirely differ
ent. The standard you all and all J
of you are employed. as frequently
m the south as elsewhere the dis
tinctive vou all supplying a desid
eratum not furnished by either of
the other two phrases. Joel than
dler Harris writes as follows:
" You may say without any hesi-
tation whatever that "you all" and
"wo allY'you uns" and "we uns"
invariably refer to more than one
individual. These locutions some-
times refer to a partner to a family
to a settlement and to a whole com
munity but never to one individual.
I have seen assertions to the con
trary but you may put them down
as jrross mistakes.' "

Placing the Value.
Edward Everett Hale was one of
the guests at a Hew York million-
aire's dinner. The millionaire was
a free spender but he wanted full
credit for every dollar he put out.
And as the dinner progressed he told
his guests what the expensive dishes
had cost. "This terrapin" he would
say "was shipped direct from Bal-
timore. A Baltimore cook came on
to prepare it. The dish actually
cost a dollar a teaspoonful.". So he
talked of the other courses. He
dwelt especially on the expense of
the large and beautiful grapes. He
told down to a penny what he had
figured it out that the grapes had
cost him apiece. The guests looked
annoyed. They ate the expensive
grapes sparingly. But Dr. Hale
smilingly extended his plate and
said "Would you mind cutting me
off about $1.87 worth more please?"
A Yellow Fever Cure.
A correspondent of a London pa-
per asserts that no fatal results
may be feared from yellow fever if
the person attacked as soon as the
symptoms appear takes a tumbler-
ful of olive oil with the juice of a
lime squeezed into it. This dose
should be repeated till vomiting and
purging ensue.
"This is infallible in checHng-the
virulence of the complaint" says
the letter writer "and a speedy con-
valescence invariably follows. I
have not only proved its efficiency
personally but have witnessed its
complete success in dozens of cases
both in Cuba and South America."

The Chief Trouble.
"It is a sad fact" said the statis-
tician "that the ordinary waste of
food in an English middle class fam-
ily would be sufficient to maintain
wholly a French family of similar
station."
"True" said the epicure. "And
it is also a gratifying fact that the
average French family couldn't be
hired to eat it after it had been
cooked by the average English mid-
dle class family so that after all
it is not wasted so far as France is
concerned." Harper's Weekly.
