TIE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

Our readers are aware that q few
weeks ago Democratic County Ticket
WAS put in the field. Several of the can
didates Oh this ticket have withdrawn
and no names have been substituted. 1t
is understood that the Democratic ticket
therefore, is not intact and of course
cannot he voted rs Il whole. The Dem
ocrats, so far rs we can hear, have de-
cide'' to support the Peoples Ticket,
which we publish in another column.
This ticket is composed Of both Kepub-
leans and Democrats, is not II party
ticket i'll any sense, and is Il genuine.
spontaneous, peoples ticket. 1t is the
duty OF every Democrat in the county
who believes that a change in county
affairs is demanded, to support this
ticket.
Every vote cast for the Democratic
ticket, or what is left of it, is vote for
the old Ring. If amy Democrat wishes
to help on the election OF Bear, Town,
Barber 4 Co., he can do it best 10y voting
the Democratic ticket. Ifyou want to e.
lect the Ring again, vote the Democrat
ic Tick If you want t, defeat the
Ring, vote the People,, Ticket.
Of course, on State ticket, Democrats
are expected to vote the straight ticket,
but on county ticket, see that you vote
the Peoples ticket.

THE INDEPENDENT PEOPLh'S TICKET,
Two weeks ago we stated there was IL
demand from all parts for an independ-
ent ticket. Since the Republican Con
vention, controlled in the old Ring w,y
with Ring men for the principle offices.
there has been a general outburst and
a spontaneous demand for a Peoples
Ticket.
A Mass Conyention was suggested
but it WAS thought too late to call it.
and the ticket presented elsewhere has
grown spontaneously and is enthusiasts
tically ratified from all parts of the
county.
TO the people, we say. now is your
time and your opportunity. York for
the ticket. If you are opposed to Ring
ism; it you are opposed to keeping one
set of men in Office perpetually; if you
believe IN putting III mel fresh from
the people and putting out men who
have sucked the public u,lder dry, work
ard vote for the Peoples ticket.

sunken eyes. There was not vestige
of furniture in the room, nor Of fire in
the CRATE. In the room overhead / saw
his family-a wife and five children,
the last of whom was born week ago.
The whole family had evidently slept
on the floor, for a couple of blankets
still lay spread in the corner furthest
from the stair-top. Over the fire cow
cred the mother, round whom the chill
dren sat watching, with wistful looks,
the cooking of some coffee and the
frizzling of bit of bacon. The hus-
band is an iron-puddler, one of those
attracted from Stafordshire to Shelf
field by the hope of higher wages. A
poor woman, a few doors further off,

ure, for she was obliged to take them

Toll and Be Happy.

The Christian at Work thinks
Ruskin never said truer thing than
this; If you want knowledge, you
must toll for it; if food, you must toll
for it; and if pleasure, you must toll
for it, Toll is the Jaw. Pleasure
comes through toll, and not by self
indulgence and Incidence. When one
gets to love work his life is a happy
one. Said a poor man in Brooklyn,
the other day, with a family Of eleven
to provide for: IF I were worth
$1,00O,O0O, I should not wish to do
much different than I do every day,
working hour after hour. / love it
thousand times better than to rest"
He has for nearly half a century been
surrounded by workers, and has caught
the spirit Of industry. He loves his
work better than food or sleep. He is
happy who has conquered laziness, once
and forever.

Extraordinary Memory.

A story of wonderful memory
comes from Sydney, Australia. A
prisoner set up in his defense an alibi
claiming that, at the time of the robbery
he was at home listening to the recital
of a novel, "The Old Baron" by man
named Lane, who had committed it,
with other works, to memory. Lanes
recitation, he said, took two hours and
a half. The Attorney General holding
this to be incredible, Lane began: "In
the time of King Henry, when the good
Duke Humphrey returned from the
wars in the Holy Land, where he had
been soiourning for number Of years,
there lived After the Witness bad
recited several pages, the Attorney Cen
eral told him to stop, as he was satisfied.
But the defense insisted that, as the
veracity of the witness had been qnes-
toned, ne should be allowed to go on.
Finally a compromise was effected,
Lane gave chapter from the middle of
the story and it's conclusion, and the ac-
cused was found not guilty.

standing there in her dripping gar
ments, but it was certainly ill-mannered
of Phil and Nathan to burst out laugh
ing, as they did; am sure you would
have done very differently if you had
been there. Even Deacon Spollet could
not restrain smile, which shows that a
man may be deacon, and yet not be
entirely Invested Of the weaknesses OF
humanity.
Then out came Mrs. Blake, with offers
of dry clothing and ginger-tea; but
Polly said she thought she'd better &c
home and go to bed; but, before she
went, she turned and shook her fist al
Phil and Nathan, and uttered her part
ing blessing in this wise:

Missionary Work.

The past year has been most import
ant in the history of modern missionary
effort. The New York Times says that
in India, where more than a half
century of work seemed to have made
little impression on the Hindoos, there
has been the largest movement toward
Christianity that Professionalism has
ever witnessed in heathendom. The
Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel High Church AnglicanD has
had an accession of no less than $4,000,
the Dutch Reformed Mission one of
5000, the American Baptist Mission of
nearly 10000, and the Church Mission
airy Society How-Church Angican) Of
4l9 families. Thus in one year about
10000 Hindoos have embraced Christ
ianity, and apparently this is only the
beginning of great movement.
The missions in Central Africa have
met reverses during the year, but there
is no thought of abandoning any of
them. The London Mission, after
severe reverses, has reached it's destina-
ton on Lake Tanganyika, and the
English Baptists have sent an expedi-
ton along Stanley's route on the Congo
to prospect for new mission.

Phsemology, Murder and Suicide.

BosSor's latest tragedy, the killing by
Wilson Of himself and wife, appears to
have been eaF1sed by his conviction that
she was his superior intellectually. Not
long previously they went TO phrenol
ogist to have their heads examined, with
view of settling the troublesome ques-
ton. The phrenologist told them that
the wife had the best brain, and was
fairly entitled to leadership in the fam
lily. Wilson was greatly agitated by
this information, and weepingIy declared
that he had made the most serious
blunder of his Life in. marrying
woman who knew more than he did.

The HaX HOf Hengland,

In 1910 an English gentleman visited
this country and brought back an
American ak and helye, which, from
the peculiar curve of the handle and
shape Of the head, proved infinitely SUI
perior-the expert, Mr.. Gladstone, gave
similar testimony not long agoeto any
thing of English manufacture. His son
still has the ak, which is serviceable,
though, Of course, the handle has been
renewed several times, always. on the
model of the old one. When it was
first used, carpenters and woodmen
came from distance of ten miles to in
spect it, and many times the owner was
offered ten times it's price for tin
deed, one enthusiast tried to steal it.
Nevertheless, so tenacious is habit, to
this day that venerable ak is the only
one of its kind in the neighborhood.
