odds and ends.

A PUzzLTNG S-ATE.-M Massachusetts Is
in one respect, a puzzling State. The
population is increasing rapidly y-at much
GREATER ratio now than ten Or twenty years
ago-yet, on tho other hand, much OF the
cultivated land is relapsing into a wilder
ness. Even between Boston and Worees-
ter, there are few miles where you seem
to be suddenly transported to some half
settled region of Wisconsin. You over.
look lonely lakes, great stretches Of pine
and birch forssts, and distant ranges Of
hills where scarcely single dwelling is to
be seen. In Plymouth county, on the
county roads, you continually pass the
ruins of houses, and you ride for miles
through scrubby roads, where the tumbled
line Of stone fences tell of former fields.
This decay will probably 60 on until all
the virgin fertility of the West is occupi-
ed-then, possibly, there may be 'redu-
ent wave" pouring over the exhausted
lands Of the East.

The RING.-"Give me, said Lubin to
his fair, to whom he would be more than
friend, "givc me the little ring you wear,
It's like my love-it has no end" "Ex-
cuse me, that cannot do; my heart you
have no hope of winning, the ring is like
my love for you, for, Lubin. il has no be-
ginningl"

The Circuit Judgship.

A writer in the Valley Herald Sug-
gcsts Col. :. b. Northrup for Judge in
his, the Fourth Circuit. Mr.. North
run is Il resident Of BlcdSoe county, and
a lawyer with a pretty fair practice. 1t
may not be generally known over the
Circuit, but 1t is understood in this di-
rection that Judge lIoyl, the present
worthy and efficient incumbent, VIII be
a candidate for rc-clrction.-AthenS Post.
1t is not "gcncrally known" here, at
Judge IIOyl's home that he will be a
candidate for recollection. Judge Hoyl
is not one Of those greedy fellows who
would hold Office always. lie has now
been in office on Il fHt salary for eight
long years, and we are inclined to think
he is liberal enough to step aside and
let some one else have the place. Eight
wears is half a business mans life time,
and we feel almost sure that the Judge
will not ask the people of this district
to duplicate his term. Judge Hoy
knows there are plenty of men that are
as able to fill the position as he Is, and
he is not one of those brassy fellows
that will push himself on a community
On the other hand, Bradley county
don't want to monopoliac the Circuit
Judgship. She has had it during those
eight long years, and she now feels that
some other deserving community Is en-
titled to it.. Ii she did want it again
she has no less than six good lawyers,
either one of whom are as well qualified
to ill the place rs Judge llOyl.

ed in the market quotations, 30 that, as
n producer, he may stand on equal

fhc state of the market. lie will not
then be dependent on his neighbOLs for
that knowledge which Is money in his
pockct. He will be also constantly ad-
viScd of the current events, political
and otherwise. lie will know what is
going on In the world, and be in con-
slant communication with ii. 1t will
add TO the intelligence Of himself and
his household. If he has Il daily mail,
the farmer should by all means have
the Daiiy Appericaa, which will cost him
$1,000 per year, including the postage.
if he cannot ret the daily regularly,
then lie should take the Semi WdeRty
American, price 1920 per year, postage
included. And if he cannot c0nvcn-
iently obtain either of these editions
promptly, he certainly can get the
Wpeklv american, which has all the mar
kct quotations of the week, including
those of the day of publication, which
viii cost him only $500 Il year, postage
prepaid by the publishers. II Is best TO
have the Daily If you have the postal
facilities. but in any event, you should
have the Wcekly american. If you try
il one year, you will never stop 1t and

rich Englishman named Edwards. The
total amount Of money lent by him dur
ing the past two or three years is put
down at about 2, ZOO, 900 francs, for which
he charged an interest of about 1000, 900,
