Attorney General Winner.
Tho supreme court annulled tho order
of Judge Bradshaw, In tho suit. In which
Attorney General Cosson tried out his
right to nijpear before a grand Jury In
Marshall county. The court held the
Judge had erred In refusing to permit
the attorney general to go before the
grand Jury.
Judgo Bradshaw had hold that tho act
of tho legislature, which Attorney Gen
eral Cosson, while a state senator wrote,
did not give the attorney general "Au
thority to go before a grand Jury; and
this all hinged on the meaning of the
word tribunal as found therein.
"In the light of tho evident purpose
of this statute," said tho court, j'and
In recognition of the fact that our court
and other courts In speaking of this
body, tho grand Jury, have denominated
It a tribunal, there Is no escape from
he conclusion that the legislature In
tho use of this word referred to and
Included tho grand Jury."

SOMETHING DOING, AFTER ALL
Skillful Mlccr Tell Whnt He Cnn
Do nml la Hired on the
Spot,
Mr. Underdone Cutlets, proprietor of the
Spoedy Cafe, was notoriously hard
hearted. The most weeping widow who
ever graced a melodrama couldn't have
wept a sllco of stale bread out of hla
restaurant without the price. So when
a pale and timorous bum approached thi
desk and made a faltering appeal, It
was no surprise to the lunch fiends to
hear a curt "nothing doing. Beat it."
"I'm not a beggar," retorted the hun
gry man. "I'm willing td scrub floors
or wash dishes. I'm Just out of prison,
and nobody will give me work. I'm
starving."
The proprietor betrayed a faint Inter
est. "What were you In ferT" he asked
Idly.
"I'll tell you the truth." explained the
ex-convict, "I was a kind of a. counter
fetter. I used to take a hundred dollar
bill and split it In two with a raror.
Then I'd take a one and spilt that and
then paste the halves together, so I'd
have two centuries. If the sucker didn't
look on both sides. It took 'em five years
to catch me."
Mr. Cutlets beckoned the ex-prisoner
behind the bar.
"Order what you like on tho houe,"
ho whispered. "I've got a steady Job for
you. I'll give you thirty a week to slice
the ham for my sandwiches." Llppln

A graduate of the Moscow School for
Painting, Sculpture and Architecture has
invented an Interesting artistic device,
which may be used with much effect on
the stage, and perhaps can be utilized
for the homes. This Invention renders
It possible to paint several different
scenes on one canvas. When the light
on the stage Is changed the decorations
also change.
A panel was exhibited at the Moscow
Artistic theater which represented a
scene with beautiful autumn tints In the
red light of a sunset. The light was
changed; the scenery changed " at the
same time, and a nymph was discovered
in front of a tree, bathed in moonlight.
The Invention Is based on the physical
law concerning the complementary col
ors of the spectrum. It is claimed that
wall paper printed by this method Is one
color in daytime, different during twi
light and changes again by moon or
lamplight. The changes can be brought
about by switching electric lights, Con

Goodrich Tires
are best in the long ran
Not because the makers of practically
half 1013's output of new cars have
bought Goodrich Tires to equip them
Not because so many well known car
makers have always equipped their
output with Goodrich Tires
Not because thousands and thousands
of more-than-satlsfied tire users rec
ommend them enthusiastically
J5uf
Because the Goodrich principle or
unit molding, which was crystalized
from our twenty-seven years of ex
perience in rubber manufacturing
before we made the first American
clincher tire and which we have never
changed, demonstrated its soundness
Irom the start
And because our long experience in
selecting the best crude rubber and
compounding it gave us the ability to
give it tougnness and durability
ana at tne 6ame time keep the
buoyant life in it
And because we make Goodrich
Tires of the finest fabric that can
be woven of Sea Island Cotton
fabric that costs as much as
silk and of pure rubber
And because Goodrich unit
molding makes the whole tire
one .Integral piece a unit
which wears uniformly and
gives long, comfortable service.
The thick, tough tread, being if
the tire nnd not merely on it,
naturally cannot strip or peel.
Our single vulcanization makes
all the tire at once a unit and'
frees you of the danger from weak'
spots or dead places caused bv over
vulcanization cooking the life out
of the rubber.
