To the S. B. Intelligencer


The grand Democratic rally at
Purglttsville Saturday night last
brought windy to mind some Of
the Glove feasts'' we used to have
in cd Virginia.
The meeting was success in eye-
ry particular. The house was
crowded and at u o'clock precisely
the meeting was called to order by
Samuel Fleming. Esq executive
Committee man OF the District"
who in brief speech presented to
the audience as the first speaker of
the evening Hon. John b. Finley,
candidate for the State Senate.
Dir Finley in very happy and for
chile way presented to the people
the beauties of Democratic doctrise
and depicted to them in language
unmistakable the evils of the High
protective system. He also defin-
ed the ubiquitous features of the
Force Bill ana wound up with an
able defense of our State govern
ment under Democratic Rul,.
Mr.. Finley was followed by E.
NJ. Gilkcson, Esq of Romney, who
in short but tcllingspeech stirred
up the boys from center to circum-
ference. Col. Burr Brady also
gave the Republicans q sledge- ham
mer blow or two. The Mill Creek
Democracy arc on the watch tower
and will DO their duty.
A Cleveland Club was organized
and the following officers were cleo

Kelley Secretary, A. B. e. Whita-
ker Assistant Secretary. W. r. Tay-
Tor Treasurer. Another Democrat

A Sweep In Florida.

At the election held in Florida
last week the Democratic ticket
was elected by about $4,000 ma

ty elections in Florida are separated
from national and congressional
elections. This is the first year
that the separation clause Of the

will do so again. OF the outlook
IN the Upper Peninsula it says:
"The miners had enjoyed steady
employment during Cleyeland's ad-
ministration, but upon the success
sion OF q Republican President
wages were cut, a second reduction
followed, and now 1000 men are
out Of employment meditatinq

MI. IL. wilson republican cp-
ponent was here Saturday, and tits
safe to say made no converts. Dir.
Hisncr seems to be genial gentle
man. lie may be snecess in the
Newspaper business bat speech
making is certainly not his calling
~ life. lie was not even blessed
In any degree With that adroitness
that characterized his brother in
tribulation Geo. Wesley Atkinson.
lie az well as Atkinson followed in
the line otall the republican STUN D
speakers, and INDUCED in glitter
ing generalitics, visiting upon the
audience every now and then few
stale chestnuts in the shapc OF an
ecdotes. We noticed they indulged
In no comments upon tn, beauties
OF the home market under tie Nc
kinley system. They failed to
convince their audience that pro-
lection had in anywise lcss-ned tho
chcapness of living or that it had
in the slightest degree increased the
wage carriers pay or lcssen,d the
burdens that have weighed so heav-
lily upon that class. They failed to
tell the farmers that with the Nc
Kinley tariff on Nool-that wool
was lower to-day than its been for
years.
They failed to tell the tiller of
the soil that Notwithstanding the
tariff on wheat &C., that wheat was
at this day actually a drag upon
the market.
In word, Wisner's speech might
properly be termed failure whilst
Atkinson's talk was an adroitly
woven net that might have deluded
ana deceived an unthinking audi
ence-but this is a campaign of ed
ucation, and our peosle have had
unmistakable demonstrate of the
fact that the republican party can
not be trusted. Our interests gre
too widely separated from those of
the millionaire manufacturers and
wealthy plutocra.s Of the land, and
tho people know that the republi-
can party stands committed soul
and body to that class.
One fact was clearly demonstfa-
ted by Mr.. Wisner, viz: lie has a
longing desire for seat in the next
Congress of the U. S. He has a
great laundering for tina. $4,000 a |
year thai he says VIM. l. Wilson
has been drawing for "doing moth
ing" This blatent assertion fell |
very fatty upoa the audience, and |
not even third party men will be
deluded into supporting man
who INDUCES in such t&lk. Mr..
Wisner will not get there-but even |
IL he should he would stand for all |
that the republican party is COM
mitted tc-high protection which
means enriching the already rich
and making tie poorer the poor,
Foreebfllism and every other ism
that is against the rank and file Of |
the people. We understand there !
were nearly 100 republicans pres
ent, mot such a big crowd after |
alp but some of our democratic
friends took compassion on them
and helped 10 swell the crowd.
These republican gatherings do the
democratic cause good every time
simply tending to arouse them even
to greater diligence.

Early Moaes of Writing.

The earliest mode Of writing was on
bricks, tiles, oyster shells, stones, ivory,
bark and leaves of trees. Copper and
brass plates were very early in Use and
bill OF feofTment on copper was some
years since discovered in India, bearia
date one hundred years before Christ.
Leather was also used, as well as wooden
tablets. Then the papyrus came into
use, and about the eight century the
papyrus was succeeded By parchment.
Paper, however, is OF great antiquity,
especially among the Chinese, but the
first paper mill in England was built in
1888 by German at DArtforl, in Kent.
Nevertheless, it was nearly IA century and
half-namcly, in 1913, before Thomas
Watkins, statioaer, brought paper
making to anything like perfection.
The first approach to the pea was the
stylus, a kind OF iron bodkin, but the
Romans forbade its use on account Of its
frequent and even fatal use in quarrels,
and then it was male Of bone. Sub.
sequently, reeds, pointed ADD split like
pens, as in the present day, were used.

Two Squirrel Stories.

"I've got true squirrel story TO tell
vou." said a member OF the club the
other evening. "About a month ago g
friend of mine having q cottage on the
shore of Oneida Lake left corn starch
box IN the pantry. There was little
corn starch remaining in It, and to secure
It against mice the box was placed In
side of tall pitcher having very
smooth surface. My friend was at the
cottage again q few days ago. and be-
thought himself of the corn starch. Upon
examining to see if the mice had got at
it. the box was found standing on end
in the pitcher as left, but it was filled to
the brim with sweet acorn meats, all
sbelled and as nicely laid in as any per-
son could have done it. And not one
was to be found in the pitcher outside
of the box. Those squirrels must have
expended a good deal Of labor and
worked faithfully to have accomplished
the Job in so short a time. OF course
the acorns were not disturbed, but left
as found for the squirrels winter sub
sistence.'
"That puts me in mind Of something
was told last night by friend who has
lust returned from the North Woods, D.
said another" There were two partie:
camping quite little distance apart.
One party carried into the woods bag
filed with ilbcrts. almonds and other
nuts. He hung the bag UP where he
thought would be safe, ard the next day
visited my friend and his associates il
the other camp, being absent from his
own camp two or three days. When he
returned my friend went back with him,
and on the way was told Of the treat in
store for him in the shape of nuts. Upon
reaching the camp, however, hole was
found in the top of the bag and every
nut gone. twas supposed the squirrels
had carried them off to their homes in
the woods, and nothing more was though:
of it till the next day, when my frienl
went to put on a pair Of rubber boots,
hanging up in another part of the camr,
and in these boots were all the nuts,
nicely slowed away by the squirrels fol
winter se."-Utica Observer.

l,nrlnus Traits Of Sharks.

One of the most general impressions
which people unacquainted with the
habits of sharks entertain is, that these
long headed, long-snouted creatures must
turn on their backs whenever they want
to seize their prey. This belief seems to
be as old as the everlasting hills, and il
q common statement in books treating OF
natural history. Yet it has no founda'
ton in fact, writes a correspondent, for
all the sharks lave ever seen taking
their prey seized it as any other fish would
and sank downward to eat it. If sharks
were compelled to turn on their backs
whenever they wanted something to eat,
they would 90 hungry a long time, a'
anything faster than a seaslug would es-
capo them before they could take the
backward attitude and strike upwards.
I have seen them touch bait with theil
snouts before seizing it, as if they were
testing its character aad again rush on
it, gulp it down, and sink Immediately
TO the bottom to dcyour it. Oae curl.
Gus trait in sharks is their habit Of run
ming to the deepest channel to cat what
ever they nick up. This trick Of theirs
NAV be seen any day at Port Tampa, Fla,
when they seize the spoiled fish thrown
into the sea from the fsh-houses. They
are so tame there that they fcarlessly swim
alongside the waryes, often with large
part of their backs showing above water,
and seize the "softs" or "spoilts' Spoiled
fish, floating on the surface as fearlessly
as if they had no enemy within h't!
miles. These visitors are mainly tai
brown, muse, and shoyelnose sharks
which arc considered harmless unde
ordinary circumstances, but may bI
dangerous when very hungry. They
need not suffer from hunger, however,
as the bay swarms with fish of many
kinds. Tiger and leopard sharks arr
not often caught on hooks or with har-
poons.-New York Post.

"Can't do it, said the doctor, shaking
his head. "Face it like man, Bolton.
Don't trouble about your wife and
family. Mary's married, Nellie could be
tomorrow, and as for Mrs. Bolton,
Marks, the widower, said yesterday she
was the handsomest woman still in the
county, and that if she was only rid of
you he'd ask her the day after the
funeral"
"Whatw shrielcd the dying man,

Here Mr.. Belton grew little mixed
in his language, bus he knew what he
meant, and that was all that was neces-
sary. 1t was hours before he could be
got to quiet down, and days before he
ceased to growl inarticulate and mys-
terious threats directed against no one
could quite gather whom. But from
that time on VI. Bolton has never COM
planned of an ache or pain, and iiercely
disclaimed feeling even under the
weather whenever informed that ne looks
so.-Philadclphia Times.
