Judge Kershaw in his charge to the
grand jury last week took occasion to
express his surprise that any man would
be willing to take his time from his pri-
vate duties to accept the responsible
and unremunerative position of County
Commissioner. Well it's strange, but
then their ''dear friends'' and ''the dear
people" always force these things upon
them, you know. No one need be dis
couraged. however.
WHAT IS A MAscoTTE.-A mascotte,
according to the superstitions OF the peas
ants of France and Germany, is per-
son who is born, not to obtain good for-
tune herself, but TO bring it to others.
Wherever she goes happiness follows
her. Those whom she loves are des-
tined to long life, honor, and every bless
ing they desire. The mascotte is, in
short, the opposite OF the unhappy be-
ing, who, according to the same supersti-
ton, is born with NAL occhio, or the evil
eye, that curses all upon whom it looks.
When the German peasants think that
they have discovered a true mascotte
the children in a village, she is
as If she weIe princess in dis
guise. Gifts, caresSes and tlattery fol-
low her all her life from those who hope
to win her good will and the consequent
blessing.-Konhh's Companion.
