MR. EDITOR DEAR SIR :-In your

Your were induced to say that in Akin
sons district q temperance ticket was
put in the field )" which was n mistake
This was 40 egregiOus tal-ehood, inau-
gura,ed by some person or persons who
are sadly deficient Of a true regard for
truth. The facts as they simply stand
are Q fsfutation Of the assertion. The
chairman Of the temperance committee
for the district was not at the election,
snd another member of the same com-
mittse voted With the .'stalwarts." lcav-
ing the remaining member to vote with
the cursed Is The temperance SEN
tiRens must indeed, bo for below par
when a jug Of whiskey, peddled over
the district, can mouopol se all its votes
but l5-"byjuggsrs T. Another false
hood. quite as blatan. aud Infamous,
was also coupled with this, tha. the
temperance men. if successful, would
ask for Law taxing the people to pay
ell ministers salary. These two mis-
representations were indeed "powsr"
aud good counterpart of the rumjug.
Now. Mr.. Editor, the true aud only
ISSUE at stake was between two gentle

true and bona6de democrat from his

Taking Comfort In Life.

Sooner or later. friends, the time
for folded hands will come to us all.
Whether or not we cease from hurry
and worry now, we shall one day shut
our eyes upon it, and be still, untroub-
led by the stir and the fret of things
about us. Why not take comfort as
we go on1 You, proud mother of a
beautiful, active boy, of what use will
it be to you to remember how exquis-
itely fine was his raiment, how dainti-
ly spread his bed, and how costly and
profuse his toys1 What the child
needs is mothering, brooding, tender
resting on your heart, and he needs it
every step OF the way from babyhood
to manhood. Take the comfort Of
your opportunities. Never mind
though the dress be coarse, and the
food plain, and the playthings few
but answer the questions, tell the sto-
ries. spare the half hour at bed time,
and be merry and gay, confidential
and sympathetic with your boy And
you whose graceful young daughter is
just blushing out into the bloom of a
wondrously fair womanliness, do not
be SO occupied with your ambition
for her, and her advancement in life,
that you let her ways and your own
fall apart Why are her friends, her
interests, and her engagements so
wholly and distinct from yours Why
does she visit here and there, and re-
ceive visitors from this and that home,
and you scarcely know the people by
sight? You are losing precious hours,
and the comfort you ought to take is
flying fast away on those wings of
time that are never overtaken.

Why anyone should expect the
newspaper publisher to be more gen.
erous in squandering his substance
than other business men, is somethi ng
that cannot be accounted for, except
on the suppositiou that some people
have an idiotic idea that printers set
up type for the love of the work, and
that ink and type and printing presses
are gifts from heaven to sinful men,
who publish newspapers merely for
the purpose of smoothing the pathway
of their fellow-men on the rugged
road to fortune, and who hope not for
reward this side of the grave.

a Revolutionary Giant.

Peter Francisco. a giant of the Revolution
who dealt destruction with sword five feel
long, is thus described by n correspondent OF
a Virginia journal:
Ny father, recently deceased at the ad
vanCed age OF 80 years, well remembered him
having frequently seen him in his native
county of Buckingham and related many an
ecdotes of his stirring and perllous adventures
and hair breadth escapes as he heard the recit
al fall from the lips of the giant himself.
He described HIM as six feet one inch IN
height, his weight is 200 pounds his complex
ION dark and swarty, features bold and manly
and his hands uncommonly large, his thumb
being as large as an ordinary mans wrist
Such was his personal strength, that he could
shoulder cannon weighing LOO pounds
and he had seen him take man IN his righ
hand, pass over the floor and dance his head
againt the ceiling with as much ease as If M
had been doll baby. The mans weight was
1914
Partaking of the patriotic enthusiasm o.
the times, he entered the American Revolu
tionary army at the age of 49,
He was present at the stormlng OF stony
Point. and was the first soldier after Major
Gibbon, who entered the fortress, on which
occasion he received q bayonet wound in The
thigh.
He was at BrandywIne, Monmouth ane
other battles at the North. and was tranferreC
to the south under Gen. Green, where he wa
engaged in the action Of the Cowpens, Cam
den. Guilford Court House, etc.
He was so brave and possessed such conn
dence in his proves that he was absolutely
fearless. He used sword with blade five
feet long, which he could WELD like feather

Clover AZ a Water Carrier.

Let us find some reason for the recuperative
power for the clover plant, says the Country
Gentleman In the first place 1t exposes great
amount of leaf surface TO the air and sun
light, and is able to transpire large quantity
of moisture. 1t has been carefully estimated
that an average acre Of clover sends OIL from
its foliage over 10000 pounds, or tons OF wa
ter in "a hours, while an acre OF wheat, under
the same circumstances, will transpire only
about two tons, about One.fourth as much. The
clover plant Is, therefore, much more active
pump for raising water from the soil into the
air. But every pound OF water has more OF
less salts dissolved in it and these are left be-
hind after the evaporation IN the leaAes. Inc
clover plant is able to exist on weaker solu
ton than the wheat plant, because it uses SC
much more of 1t, and this IS an important fac
tor in the success of the clover crOp-To IL
lustrate this point it may be said that one man
may probably manufacture salt from sea water
while another would starve at the same indus
.ry. owing to the inferior facilities for working
up the weak solution. The clover plant is q
deep feeder, and Is able to bring up food ele
ments below the reach OF surface-growlng
plants In this way 1t concentrates food, OF
In other words, gathers it together tar and
near
The clover plant is "close feeder" as 1t Is
termed, and also deep feeder.-Now, how
does it enrich the soil and prepare 1t for large
crops to follow? The clover plant grows the
whole season through. Barley, for example
rlpeps It's grain in midsummer, and Its growth
is finished in not far from four months, while
the clover goes right on with its work, taking
up the food elements as they are liberated in
the soil, and fixing them into its own structure
The success of clover as recuperatve crop il
largely due to its long season of growth.
