every mile necessarily traversed in

1t is often said that no one has
the right to. vote who has bet or
wager pending on the result of an
election. This idea, however, is not
correct, as Judge Woodward, of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
some years since decided that vo-
ter could not be deprived of his suf-
frage on the ground Of having bet
or wagered on the result OF a pend
ing election, saying that such ac-
tion was in direct conflict with the
new State Constitution. Therefore,
qualified voter is entitled to vote,
although he may have bet or wa
ger on the result of the election.

Albany, April H. iss6
My family for the last twelve years
have been using Allcock's Porous
Plasters, and have found them won
derfully efficacious in coughs, colds,
and pains in the side and back.
About ten years ago l was thrown
from % wagon and badly bruised.
In three days these plasters entirely
removed the pain and soreness.
Twice they have cured me of severe
colds which threatened pulmonary
trouble. They also cured my son of
rheumatism in the shoulder, from
which he had suffered two years.

The approach of the winter even
ings and the Stacking up of work in
the country districts will give oppor
ltunity for the revival OF the literary
and debating societies which have
been instrumental in helping young
man to understand the measure of
his ability and kindled the spark of
ambition which has led to fame for
the individual and important conse-
quences for the nation. We should
be glad to hear that every district in
the county has organized society
of this sort and that all the people
and especially the young men are in
terested in all its proceedings. Prim-
tive as often are the methods en-.
ployed and rude the language of some
of the participants, yet they are real
training schools from which at times
past have come forth the orator, the
statesman, the leader of men. Nor
have they lost their uses even in the
highly complex civilization of the
present year. Wherever they still
have a place in the affections of the
people they continue to do good
work for the young and aspiring
whose opportunities are limited, and
they should be encouraged and sus-
tanned by the people of every com
munity.
County Superintendent Herman
is now making the rounds visiting
the schools He is fine officer so
kind, so practical. What changes 4?
How well we remember the days of
our boyhood III times when th @
"Superintender" came around. How
our hoodlum heart beat to see old
saddlebags reign up his old horse
"Boney-part' under the tall oak
back of the old red school house
where we graduated How his few
stern, stereotyped questions knock
ed the sand out of us and made us
forget what little we knew. How we
wondered that so small head could
hold so much How he encourag
ed us with the promise of making
Presidents out of all the boys and
Presidents wives out of all the girls?
He was an ideal hero in our estima-
tion for having reached so high
rung on the ladder of fame. Thirty
years have passed since then and we
look back with wonder and surprise
that there was time when we fear
ed any one man as much as we did
him. These years have taught us to
esteem men for what they are, not for
what they look, never to attempt to
measure the destiny that turks un-
der boys jacket, and always to re-
member that
'The rank Is but the guinea's stamp
The mans the gold. for all that"
