It was simply a matter of jnfeeious deliberation. sxfilftu f-enc-ing and strategic Etanesvering. These things some times become expedient, to tone down a sharp edge here and a cha-p edge there. Diplomacy in polities at times serves an exeeGent j-urptse. The Times is ot tie cpinfcn it would have been the part of wisdom to have chosen Judge Richard K.

CHARACTER IN WALKING. Trait* Which Are Reafily Ehsetered by One's Gait •There's a eosweited mm eomi~g do v- tie street" sa>d the girl in the group re a corner. "How de I kBow? By his walk. I can tell the chiei trait cf any person's character by watching him «■ few walk. For instance, if a man walks with a heavy lift to his tips he’s sare to be oh<stinate. If be down a little on Its heels he has a comfortable attimde toward life and the world in general—in fact. Le's a bit lazy. That woman coming down rise street now is a gtssip. Any ore eo-uld tell that tecause of her ainrfafc fttssy g~»;r Indeeisaon is the chief cisaracteristie cf that woman’s character across the street Don't you see how she swings her foot rather hesitatingly in rise air befwe she pets it down? "The man who walks with his knees leading is sure to be of the pi-j-ts type —the disagreeably pious type, I mean. You see that old eodger who is erresiztg the road with his stomach seeming to lea-i rise rest of him—weft, of eccrse it is evident that feeding is bis chief delight. When an intellectual walks his bead leads. That ziri who sways so is self crescsous.. Yes. that girl going down the street has a preuy walk, gliding and quiet, but watch ent for her; she is treacherous in the extreme. ■The man who puts his feet down espenally solidly is heavy and somewhat srapiL That little person crossing the road with a quick, clean step is energy personified, but be has the s.;>rt of e&erzy which has no regard for the rights or feeiings of others. The girt ron-ing out of that store has an ugly streak in ber nature. Don't you see bow she puts ber foot down unwillingly as if she were saying: T ■wont! I won'tf I shouldn't advise any man to marry her. “Os couree I don't pretend to know thoroughly a person s character by his walk, but I do discover ids predotninaring characteristic."

The Quality of Merey. A notorious mountain moonshiner, familiarly known as WDd Bill, was tried before t federal court in Georgia and was adjudged guilty. Before pronouncing sentence the judge lectured the on his long criminal record and at last, informing him that the court entertained nt- feeling of anger toward him. but felt only unmixed pity, sentenced him to spend six years in the federal prison at Atlanta. Bill sulidiy shifted the quid of tobacco in his mouth arsd turned to leave the eoartrw<n with the marshal Once outside the only thing be said was this: “Wei. I scab am glad he wa’n't mad at me!” Proving It. “Keep up your courage, old man,” said the passenger who was a good saner to another who was leaning over the railing and paying tribute to Neptune. “Never mind me.” came the answer between gasps. “Tve always heard that it took travel to bring out what there is in a man ” Painfully Natural Playwright—ls her acting natural?

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed; to be entirely fre e from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell bow this great change can be brought about will prove comforting words to hundreds of Decatur readers. Mrs. M. D. Brown, living at 208 Oak St, Bluffton. Ind, says: “I have used Doan's Kidney Pills with most satisfactory results. They cured me of backache which I suffered from for over six months. I used remedy after remedy without help. My back was in a deplorable state, being sore all over, and it pained me constantly. The least exertion almost prostrated me and in the morning I could hardly <raigt»en. I felt so weak that I was almost helpless. I obtained Doan s Kidney Pills at Chas. C. Deam s drug store and they helped me from the very first few doses and in a short time they cured me. I made a statement for publication in 1902 stating these facts and I am glad to confirm now what I said then. Doan's Kidney Pills are a remedy that every kidney sufferer ought to use."
