For A YEAR past the peace and
harmony which Democrats were pray
ing for seemed out of reach until the
annual county meeting on last Monday
when the two factions of the party
came together with clash and noise
that threatened a continuance of the
trouble, but the sun was brightly shin
ing behind the dark clouds that
threatened so much destruction and
and when they cleared away it found a
reunited party with the leaders of both
factions willing to sacrifice all personal
ambition to the success of party and
any candidate who might be nominated
at the convention on next Monday.
That there is any question Of the sin
cerity of the leaders we have no doubt.
1t is TO their interests individually and
collectively that little Carbon hews
clese 10 the line aud asserts its old
time Democratic majority. There will
be no quibbling, the time for that it is
past, condition now confronts the
party and we must make the best of it.
Get to work lie who flinches now is a
traitor; the past is behind us, dead.

the engineers who do not propose to
haYe him endanger their lives any

years experience; shall not be under

THE IDEAL AND THE REAL.

student Who Swallowed a Red-Hot Idea.
Connected with the men and teach
ings of every college are its traditions
From class to class come down certain
stories of men and customs which illus
trate the ideas of different years. In
The beginning of the revolution DR.
Witherspoon was president of Prince
ton college. He was a Scotchman by
birth, and man of strong common
sense.
1t was the fashion of the time to hold
the ideal theory-a practical denial of
the existence of matter. The ideal phi
losophy taught that external life, and
what we call the material world. are
the creatures of fancy. This system of
philosophy was even more prevalent at
that time than materialism is at the
present day.

matter logically with people whose
minds We're on fire with the ideal the

ing. and in the course of his remarks
said:
there is nothing but ideas in the world.
just go out on the campus and butt
your heads against the college walls,
You will at least get an idea of mat
| ter"
On another occasion the students
were at supper, at long tables with a
tutor presiding at each. There was
one student of the class who did not
believe in the theory of ideas. They
had hot mush and milk for supper: all
at once they were disturbed by this
student uttering a dreadful cry.
Everybody started mp to know what
was the matter. The student said:
Mr.. Tutor. / ask your pardon. /

The tutor bowed, and the apology
was received without any evidence of
musement--Chicag Journal

We're there two of them? All eyes
were strained, but nothing answered to

anxiously down the cabin stairs over

you coming?"
No ''Ducky" put in appearance and
again he callod in pleading tone:
Baby! why don't you hurry?

Then a woman weighing at least two

the stairway carrying a big lunch
basket, two camp chairs and several
shawls and rugs.
