Send for Mother.

" Dear me it wasn't enough for me to nurse
and raise a family of my own, but now when

here, it is all the time, Send for mother. "
And the dear old soul grOwls and grumbles,
but dresses herself as fast as she can, notwith-

got her safely in your home, and she flies
around, administers remedies and rebukes by
turns, you feel easier. It's right now or soon
will be-mother's come.
In sickness, no matter who is there or how
many doctors quarrel over your case, every.

of is to send for mother.

young couple in the light of experience which
three or four babies bring, find that they have

Did anybody ever send for mother and she

A WHOLESOME RESTRAINT ON ACCOUNTING
OFFlcERs.-In Maryland there is a State law
which requires the Comptroller to furnish each
officer of the State whose accounts are in ar
rears, at least sixty days prior to the general
election, a full statement of his accounts and.
in default of his accounting for such de6cien
cies, within thirty days, the Comptroller is to
have published, weekly for one month, in one
or more newspapers in several counties of the
State and the city OF Baltimore, the names
and titles of said officers, with the amount of
such deficiencies. Under this law the list of
defalters is now being published in the Mary
land papers. 1t includes nearly two hundred
Office holders, such as registers of wills. sher.
ifs, collectors, and notaries public. The whole
amount Of the deficiencies, with interest, is
over $350000 but the wholesomeness of the
law is shown by the fact that lS2 out of 1913
defalters are not now in office, and that thew
have not been in the public service for some
time is shown by the fact that in many cases
the interest on their deficiencies is almost equal
to the principal. OF the present Office. holders
in default, many owe only small amounts of
money, for which explanation may be made.
The total amount of the deficiency for the eley
en- officers is $45, 1882, including interest on
the original amount in default. -Ledger.

Too much money is spent wastefully and

We buy too much abroad that we ought to

We buy too much that we do not buy cash

We are too wasteful, know too little how tc

We are too speculative, unscrupulous and
actually dishonest in our efforts to make
money.
Too many of US prefer idleness to industry
and too few of US know how to work and de-
rive pleasure and profit from our labor.
We spend too much time learning what i,

THE JIMMY JoHNs.-Mrs. Diaz tells in
Or Young Folks a comical story Of two twins
who looked SO much alike that the neghbors
could not tell: which was Jimmy and which
Johnny, and SO called them the Jimmy
johns" And this is the account Of one OF
their funny I" ways" When the Jimmies were
little toddiDg things just beginning to walk,
they were constantly falling down, tipping
over in their cradle or humping their heads
together; and Mrs. Plummer found that the
best way to stop the crying at such time was
to turn it into. kissing. The reason of this is
very plain. In crying the mouth flies open !;
IN kissing it shuts. Mrs. Plummer was won,
derful woman. She found out that shutting
the mouth would stop its crying, and to shut
the mouth she contrived that pretty kissing
plan, and at the first sound of a bump would
catch, up the little toddlers, put their arms
round each others necks and say: kiss
Johnny, Jimmy Kiss Jimmy, JOHNNY" 1t
was enough to make anybody laugh 10 see
them, in the midst of crying spell, run to-
ward each other, their cheeks still wet with
tears, and to see their poor, little, twisted,
crying mouths trying to shut up into kiss.

gets cold, the other gets it also and so it goes

POLITICAL.

Next Wednesday the electors Of this
county will decide who are to be our coun-
ty officials for the next two years. Upon
the selection of good aud reliable men de-
ponds. in great measure, the welfare OF
orr local government, and voters should
use judgn ent in casting their ballots.
There has probably been some political
changes in the county during the past
twelve months, but as to the nature and
extent Of that change, we can only indulge
in specuatious. Referring to the vote two
years ago, we 6ud that the Democrats elect
ed all of their ticket with the exception Of
Treasurer and School Superintendent, but
then there were special and local causes
existing which operated to the detriment
of the Republican ticket. 1t the election
last November the official statement SHOVE
a majority for Grant, over both Greeley and
O'Conuor, of 208 votes. But perhaps it
may be said with truth that Grant obtained
Democratic votes. Therefore taking the
last Congressional vote, which the County
Democratic Committee adopted a. basis
for electing delegates to their lste County
Convention, as the best criterion We have of
party strength, we find that Coghlan car
ried the County by majority Of lOS over
Luttrell who received the support OF all the
Greeley and O'Conuor Democrats votiag,
and also the votes of all the boiling Repub-
licans influenced by the Sacramento Union.
This result seems to clearly indicate that
late changes in population and sentiment
we're favorable to the Republican party, and
that this organization contains decided
majority of he voters of the County. This
beng the Gaze, it follows that all that is
necessary Tor Republicans to do to elect
their candidates, is to turn out to the polls
and vote for them.
