OVER IN SPAIN We are apt to think that the countrr of Spain has settled into dry , rot. But It is no comic opera performance of brigands that young King Alfonso has to deal with. He makes a pathetic figure to all the trouble and those who have found much to admire in this young fellow who has had so much misfortune wonder it his stars are not against him. The trouble which he has on his hands is of so multifold a nature that he will have proved his right to rule if he pulls through. In the first instance he has the war with the Moors, which not only is a source of trouble In itself but is the irritating point of most of the other trouble. The war was 'distinctly, unpopular with the tax ridden populace because It is charged that it was strictly for the benefit of the Spanish speculators. It seemed that this trouble might have been allayed were it not for the ever present situation in Barcelona of discontent. ' Not only has, the Barcelona populace been clamoring for semi-independence, but' it has steadily been reluctant to pay war assessments and complete its quota of soldiers during the Spanish American war and before that in the long drawn out trouble in the Spanish colonies. Added to that, is the situa tion of imminent peril to monarchy of numbers of anarchistic socialists and mal-contents of all sorts who have foregathered there. The presence of these agitators in the wealthiest city in Spain makes a slumbering volcano ready to erupt ' at the. slightest occasion of trouble whether political or clerical. This explains the anti-clerical riots which have destroyed much church property. ' And some of the ' same sources have; given aid and comfort to Don Jaime , the pretender. So altogether it is a muddle which is worth considering. The really serious situation apart from .the Barcelona trouble and the war with the Moors is that the women of Spain are no longer willing to let their sons and husbands enlist for the royal defense. So many of their sons and sweethearts have been killed in the disastrous wars of so many ..years - duration that they will not hear to enlistment In the army. Sooner or later the whole thing will resolve itself into the actual hold that Alfonso has on the affections of the people of Spain. All of wWch remains to be seen. THE ANTI SALOON LEAGUE AND THE PROHIBITION PARTY There is no doubt after the joint convention of the Anti-Saloon league and the Prohibition party held at Bethany Park that there Is an ever widening Gulf between the two forces op posed to the liquor traffic. The prohibitionists are wedded to their party and will no doubt stay there. The Anti-Saloon league is will ing to take any assistance it can get from any party. What say seem surprising announcement to many is that of H. J. Hall who said: "I, wish to take this opportunity to correct reports that have been circulated that the Anti-Saloon league will not ask for state wide prohibition. We are for prohibition in Indiana as soon as it is possible. Mr. Minturn and I have said this repeatedly. But it has : always been a principle of the league not to ask, any party, to. declare for state wide prohibition in its platform." There, without ' doubt has been a conviction that the Anti-Saloon league has threatened state wide prohibition in -1912. " The Anti-Saloon league seems con- . tent with county local option. The much for it in some cases. We have roind a life long member of the par

ty who refused to sign a petition forlver. Many old things were good. . n f oavtv Aarv ennn-

county local option election on the ground that It was "a compromise measure with liquor." We do not know how far this theoretical reasoning goes, but one thing is certain that the prohibitionist .. pure and simple sticks to his party and nothing can induce him to support another ticket no matter what measures it adopts. LOST IN THE SHUFFLE The last hope ot provision ' for ' a Tariff Commision of experts faded away yesterday when the clause was further emasculated until it now reads: - "To secure information to assist the President In the discharge of the duties imposed upon him by this section and the officers of the government in the administration of the customs laws the President is hereby authorized to employ such persons as may be neces sary." First Aldrich took a bite and then Cannonuntil even the fragments o! a provision for the tariff of the future to be manufactured along - scientific lines 'had faded away like an idle dream. If the present ' congress has done nothing more it has shown the country the need for a Tariff Commission and a scientific tariff. And that tho friends of the corporations are aware of the fact that this commission would make it hard for them to carry on their nefarious program in the future there Is no better proof than the fact that Aldrich and Cannon ' are both against it. . TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson) Talent Recognized. "Jebbers doesn't appear to have the slightest idea of practical politics." "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum, Vhls assumption of ignorance on the subject proves him a most astute poli tician." Research.

"I moves er amendment," interrupt ed Mr. Wilkins Marigold, carelessly hitching his thumb in the corner of his razor pocket.

Each summer sings the same sad tune To words of mournful meaning set. "July was far more hot that June, And August will be hotter yet!" A Question of Taste. "You are sure this was moonshine whisky?" said the investigator. "Yes," answered the man from Ten nessee. "Did you taste It?" "Taste it? No, I swallowed a little, You don't taste it any more than you'd taste a hornet if you accidental ly bit one. You just know it's there." Imposition, , "That friend of yours never comes around unless he has an ax to grind,' said one statesman. "Worse than that," answered the other. "I not only have to turn the grindstone, but I have to lend him the ax." Items Gathered in From Far and Near Vagaries of Scientific Pundits. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. In these days of midsummer heat and dullness the vagaries of the scientific pundits as a source of refreshing and innocent entertainment are not to be despised. They are varied in their character and comprehensive in their scope. Their range extends from the interior arrangements of the human anatomy to the exterior limits of the visible universe, and if they are more remarkable for inventive ingenuity than for convincing force that' only serves to enhance their interest. No problem is so great or so difficult that the modern" scientist shrinks from attempting its solution, nor. on the other hand, is any Question too small or insignificant to be deemed unworthy of his notice. 1 He is ready to explain the whole scheme of things in a neatly compacted system, which is quite satisfactory, provided the premises upon which it is constructed are admitted, and as soon as one theory is exploded as a consequence of a more thorough research or a more intelligent apprehension of the facts he is imperturbably ready with another. The Wifeless Husband. From the Baltimore Sun Pity the poor husband left wifeless ' in the town ! While she Is basking in the warm sunshine on the beach or enjoy ing the sweet delights of rusticity oi the farm he is left alone in the crowded city, working his life put from four to six hours a day to pay for the luxuries of his unthinking and expensive family.' In the city in the summer time there is nothing in the world to amuse a. man except-baseball games, roof gardens, parks, sails, highballs, vaudeville shows, cafes swept by electric-fan breezes, blond and vbrunette maidens, bands, poker, parties, orchestras, beer, picnics, "joyrides and mint juleps.: Not another thing. Outside of these all la work. Reviving the Signboard From' the Raleigh News and Obser-

Some years ago in nearly every coun

ty signboards were put up at crossroads so the traveler could And his way and know how far to. given places. Most of them have gone down. The Guilford county commissioners have appropriated the money to re place the signboards. Other counties will promote public convenience by doing likewise. A RUNAWAY AUTO A E Woman Has a Wild Ride When Machine Started to Run Amuck. HER COMPANION INJURED FAST FLYING MACHINE FINALLY ENDED ITS WILD CAREER BY BUMPING HOUSE OFF OF ITS FOUNDATIONS. Crawfordsville, Ind., July 31. Mrs. Charles Kirkpatrlck, of New Richmond, suffered severe injuries; Mrs, Jacob Kirkpatrick, of West Lafayette, her mother-in-law, received slight bruises, and the auto in which they were riding was badly damaged when it ran away at the edge of Otterbein in Tippecanoe county, and ended its "chauffeurless life" by running into a house. The accident was Caused by the steam arising in the machine and in some unexplained manner throwing tne lever into gear. At tne time Charles Kirkpatrick, his father, Jacob Kirkpatrick and the chauffeur were in a ward getting a drink of water, leav ing the two women in the automobile When the machine started, Mrs. Charles Kirkpatrick jumped out, dislocat ing her shoulder and spraining her ankle. Mrs. Jacob Kirkpatrick remain ed in the auto and was not seriously hurt. House Moved Four Inches. When the machine struck a house in the edge of the village, after run ning up the road a distance of 150 feet, the house was moved four inches off its foundation, and a wonan asleep inside received a bad fright and jolt, The party was on its way to Jacob Kirkpatrick's farm near Otterbein. He is a wealthy retired farmer of Lafay ette and his son Charles is president of the New Richmond bank, of this county and two years ago represented Montgomery county in the state legis lature. The members of the party ob tained another machine and returned to their homes. , The young man in the barber's chair had been annoyed by suggestions 0f the white coated artist, although be had said clearly enough when be sn down that be wanted only a hnir cut and a shampoo.

THE SCRAP BOOK

.HE FELL ASLEEP, A Care For Insomnia and the Weird Effect It Produced. Recently a friend who had heard that I sometimes suffer from Insomnia told me of a sure core. : "Eat a pint of peanuts and drink two or three glasses of milk before going to bed," said he, "and I'll warrant you'll be asleep within half an hour." I did as he suggested, and now for the bene fit of others who may be afflicted with insomnia I feel It to be my duty to report what happened, so far as I am able to recall the details. " First let me say my friend was right. I did go to sleep very soon after my retirement. Then a friend with his bead under his arm came along and asked me If I wanted to buy his feet. I was negotiating , with him when the dragon on which I was riding slipped ont of his skin and left me floating In midair. While I was considering how I should get down a bull with two heads peered over the edge of the wall and fa id he would haul me up if I would first climb- up and rig a windless for him. So as I was sliding down the mountain side the brakeman came in, and I asked him when the train , would reach my station. "We pasoed your station 400 years ago," be said calmly, folding the tram up and slipping it into his vest pocket. At this Juncture tho clown bounded into the ring and pulled the center pole out cf the ground, lifting the tent and all the people in it up, while I stood on the earth below watching myself go out of sight anions the clouds above. Then I awoke and found I had been asleep almost ten minutes. Good Health Clinic. Made the Duke Feel Cheap. The second Duke of Wellington, though far from being stingy, was in many odd ways economical. He discov ered one day some champagne which be considered and which doubtless was quite good enough for a ball sup per and which had the advantage of being extraordinarily low la price. He ordered the quantity required and. was rejoicing In his excellent bargain when on opening one of the papers he en countered the following advertisement: "Try our celebrated champagne at 38 shillings a dozen, as ordered by bis grace the Duke of Wellington for his forthcoming ball at Apsley House." A Genial Greeting. A young New York broker of convivial habits fell in with an old school friend who bad gone on the road. ' "Whenever you're in town come up and bunk with me," be urged his friend as they separated. "No matter what old time it Is. If I'm not there Just go ahead and make yourself at home. I'll be sure to turn up before daybreak." Soon after this the salesman arrived In town about midnight, and, remembering , his friend's Invitation, sought out his boarding house. . There was only a dim light flickering in the hall, but he gave the bell a manful pull. Presently he found himself face to face with n landlady of grim and terrible aspect. "Docs Mr. Smith live here?" he faltered. . "He does," snapped the landlady. "You can bring him right In!" Everybody's. Man Is a Free A? ont. Man Is either free or ho Is not free. If he is not free he cannot in cases of conflicting motives choose, but must blindlj follow one of the Impulses. But we know from consciousness that be can decide between conflicting mo tives. Therefore it is false that he is not free. He must therefore be free. Hepburn. The Witty Warden. "You'd hardly expect to find a sense or humor in prison officials." says an American representative on the Inter national prison commission, "but dur ing an inspection made by some Americans Interested In penal matters of a penitentiary in England one of us was thus surprised. " 'I presume,' obserred the American, that here. s elsewhere, you prison of ficials find existence paififul enough. " T think you may fairly say so, sir,' responded the warden, with a 1 grim smile, 'seeing the number of felons we have on our hands. " LIpplncott's. One en the Man of Method. "Don't wait for me," he said to his better half. "I may be rather late. but 'business Is business you know and can't be helped." The next mornjng the man of method was far from either looking well or feeling well. At breakfast he sat list lessly toying with his toast and coffee, while his spouse sat stonily silent behind the coffeepot. The breakfast room clock wis equally silent. "Maria, my dear, there must be something wrong with that clock. 1 am sure I wound It up last night," re marked the husband. "No," answered his wife, "you wound up Freddy's music box instead, and had it playing 'Home. Sweet Home.' at S o'clock In the morning! The hall clock has also stopped, and you have screwed your corkscrew right Into the telephone." Judge's Library. The Auto Strop. When the train stopped at the little southern .station the northern tourist sauntered out on the platform. Under a scrub oak stood a lean animal with

scraggy bristles. The tourist was Interested. "What do yon call thatr be queried of a lanky native. ' "Rasorback hawg. -Well, what is he doing rubbing against that tree?" "He's stropping himself, mister, jest stropping himself." Success Magazine. Its First Letter. They were playing a game In which some one give out the Initial of some object In the room and the rest of them try to guess toe object. So they tried to get the host's gray haired father Into it.

They tried and tried to guess what be meant. Knowing his weakness In spell Ing, his son picked "phonograph, thinking the old gentleman might imagine it began with an "F." But, no, he was wrong. Finally they all had to give It up and appealed to him to tell the article. He looked wise and 6ald: "Well, since yez all give up what the thing is that begins with an F,' 111 tell yez.

A mischievous drummer came along, and, having a convenient cap sule of quinine in his pocket, he un corked It and sifted It well on to the old negro's palate and the root of his tongue. The old dsrky, awakening, be came much disturbed. He called for the conductor and asked, "Boss, Is dere a doctor on dis here train?" "I don't know," said the conductor. "Are you sick?" "Yas, sah; I sho' is sick. I sbo is sick." "What is the matter with you?" "I dunno, sir, but it tastes like I busted my gall." Dusty. Alongside the secretary of state's desk is a great globe, standing over six feet high. One day Mr. Knox con suited it to see if it were really true tbrft the sun never sets on our do minions nowadays or to learn something else of equal importance. The Pennsylvania statesman Is the pink of neatness and was somewhat irritated to find that the big revolving ball soiled bis coat sleeve. "William,? be said sharply to the messenger and laying his finger on the globe, "there is dust there a foot thick." v "It's tbicker'n dat, Mr. Secretary,' replied the negro, with that familiarity that comes of mingling with greatness, "What do you mean?" demanded the premier. "Why, you'se got yub fingah on de desert of Sahara." Mr. Knox did badly at trying to sup press a 6mile. "You'll find some on the Atlantic ocean, too." he remarked as he re turned to his desk. Not an Imitator. Mrs. Jones, a fussy, fidgety old lady, who was called by some folks a busybody, snapped out to her pastor as he set out for r. f drtnight's vacation "Satan never takes a vacation, Mr. Steenthly." "Well, my dear Mrs. Jones," the minister cheerfully answered, "that Is just why I am taking a vacation, never did believe in Imitating Satan Sufficient Unto the Day. One summer day a colored man and his family of eight, who depended en tirely on the town for their support started away from home, all arrayed in their best, each carrying a bag of goodies. One of their benefactors met the-n on the road. "Well. Uncle Sam, where are you go ing with all your family so dressed up?" was the inquiry. "Why, boss," said Samv "doan' you know tho circus am come to town?" "Yes, but I can't afford to go and take all my family." "Well, boss, I tell you, it is Jes dis away wid u.

A butter and egg man was visited by a chap who bought four of bis best eggs. This chap took tbe eggs home. put them on to boll, told bis wife to take,ihencff at the end of three minutes and then went upstairs to shave. When he came down again half an hour later the eggs were still boiling away. He removed them from the pot. put them In cold water, dried them and gave them to his little daughter. Take these eggs back, he said, "to the man ncd tell blm it was ducks eggs that we wanted.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, es they cannot rach the diseased portion of the ear. There i only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Xefness Is caused by an inflamed rondltion of the mucous lininsr of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube ie inflamed you have a rumbling ound ot imperfect hearing-, and when It Is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tub restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing; hut an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

He was detaching the orchid from where it clung when a thing like a spear, as black as his own skin, suddenly struck at the boy's wrist. He screamed with terror and. toppling down, writhed with pain. He died, and I felt a gloom settle on my spirits. ' "Well, at Angostura we took raft? and six guides upstream. First outguide died of .fever; then another was bitten by poisonous insects.
