ENLARGEMENT.

We present "The Record this
week to our readers in an enlarged
form and with a greatly increased
amount of reading matter. This EN-
largement is equivalent to four add
tional columns Hereafter the read
ing matter in each issue will be about
double that heretofore given. Owing
to the large additional labor of re
setting all our advertisements and
making other necessary alterations,
we have not been able to give the at
tention we desired to editorial and
local matter. We hope to make con-
siderable improvements in these re
spects in the future.
We trust the efforts which we shall
use to please our readers will lead
them to interest themselves in calling
the attention of their friends to 1.-The
Record and that our list may b.
considerably increased

PRESIDENTIAL INTERVIEWS.

Onr country has buried eighteen Presi.
dents, whose graves are scattered and yet
nine States include the entire number
New Hampshire has the grave of Pierce, and
Massachusetts holds the two Adams, father
and son. New York contains Van Buren,
and Fillmore, while Pennsylvania only has
Buchanan. Kentucky can boast the grave
of Taylor, while Illinois is honored by that
of Lincoln Ohio has two Harrison and
Garfield both cut off soon after the open
ing of their official career Tennessee has
three, johnson, Polk and jackson, while
Virginia, the smother of Presidents has
taken five to her bosom in final rest-their
names being Washington, Jefferson, Madi-
son, Monroe and Tyler Looking back on
the past, what a long interval occurred be-
tween the death of Washington and that of
his Successors nearly twenty-seven years
but then II brought the death of two in one
day. The largest number of ex-Presidents
alive occurred when John @. Adams began
his administration. At that time old John
Adams, with Jefferson, Madison and Mon.
roe, were not only living, but were in full
possession of all their faculties The small
est number of ex-Presidents is found during
Hayes administration, when the number
was reduced to one General Grant - Rochfs-
ter Democrat.

Self-confidence is inherent weakness

which strengtheneth me.
The right to entertain such trust be-
longs to none but those who earnestly and
steadily seek the help " Ask and it shall

seek, the aid is sure. There may be de.

prophet, to all who being in trouble call
upon Him, and are yet made to wait

DAN RICE.


The divorce sued for by Dan Rice's wife
has been granted. The well-known circus
clown has experienced strange ylcisstudos
during the last ten years, and has varied his
professional career with occasional expert
ments in religious exhortation and temper
ance crnsading The divorce, obtained on
the ground of desertion, terminated what
was in its earlier days very romantic union.
In 1915 the Snowman was exhibiting in
Girard, Pa, and his attention was attraced
by remarkably beautiful child in her
nurses arms He asked her name, and on
subsequently fixing his residence in Girard,
he kept up lively interest in the girl, who
was the daughter of deacon in the Presby-
terrain Church, and President of the local
bank. AT that time Dan rolled in wealth and
spent his money lavishly, not only in the
erection of magnificent house. but in
adjoining the town He was married to an
estimable woman, who had been ON The
stage and about fifteen years after his ar
rival in Girard she obtained divorce. Dan
carried on his youthful mamorata as soon af
possible, much against the wishes of the
deacon, who disinherited his daughter, but
when Dan failed in 1873 was reconciled and
took them to his house. The showman's
extensive property was sacrificed picemea
in Improbable ventures, and his life grew
irregular. His professions of temperance
and religion were looked upon as advertising
schemes. His wife grew cold, and finally
declined to see him. He refused to oppose
the divorce. Rice began his career as a
Jockey boy for Henry Clay ON his Lexington
farm, and at one time was considered worth
$500. 600.

AMoDEL DOMESTIC.


She was a model domestic until she was dis.
covered stealing the sugar, and then she was
discharged forthwith. What did she do
then Did she fold her tent like the Arab
and silently steal away? Not at all She
got up in the dead of night and quietly
empted the contents of the salt bag into
the -four barrel. Then, like Lady Macbeth
after the murder of Duncan, she went back
TO her bedroom. In the morning she rose
and donned her clothes and left. blessing the
whole household, and apparently deeply re-
pentant for having appropriated the saecha-
rine matter But behold how deceptive hu-
man nature is. That evening the mistress
of the house, being without domestic, mix.
ed the bread herself, and ut breakfast the
next day the boardeB were treated to any
of leaden melancholy in the shape of the
heaviest rolls that ever yet their stomachs
knew. When the cause was discovered they
formed combination to season that false
hearted and vindctive servant girl of the
period by having her arrested for stealing
barrel Of flour as wen as two pounds Of
graduated sugar, They couldn't find her,
however, for she had punished herself
by going to Salt Lake City, Boston Cou.

The KELSEY CAsE.--A Decision in his
Favor. suit brought by order of the
Legislature Of 1881 against Secretary of
State Kelsey. to require him to pay back
$32, 900 fees alleged to be illegally charged
for sending out copies Of the laws to the
newspapers and TOT pay back 81, 900 illegal
ly taken for filing returns of vital Stats
tics, was decided in the Supreme Court on
Thursday by Judge Beasley, Scudder and
Magic. The Chief Justice read the opn-
ion of himself and Judge Scudder which
declares that Kelsey was authorized to
take the $50, 600 for the laws, but must
return the 1000 for filing the vital sta
tistics. Judge Magic dissented from the
opinion in relation to the $32, 900 item, de-
claring that there was no authority under
the law for taking the amount. The part
of the law of 1915 which declared that the
Secretary should receive only 1900 for
sending copies to the newspapers was de-
olared by the Chief Justice unconstitu-
tional, but it was also declared that this
did not vitiate the whole law as had been
claimed. Tho Chief Justices argument
for the Secretary was that the custom had
been to pay eight cents folio for sending
laws to the newspapers, and that
whether this was right or wrong, 1t was
an established practice which was suffi-
cient to govern the Court. Judge Magic
held that the practice was not sufficiently
established, having only been in vogue
since 1856, while the laws had becn fur
nished the newspapers since 1859. The
case apparently hinged on this issue. 1t
will undoubtedly be appealed.
