GILMAN ELECTION CONTEST.
Legality of Incorporation to Be Teste,
The New Officers.


1t is likely that there will be contest
when the county commissioners canvass
the vote by which the community of Gil
man was recently transformed into a
town of the fourth class. There was a
strong fight against the proposition to in
corporate, the opposing forces being led
by Postmaster Parks, and the majority of
twenty-four that is proudly pointed to by
the victors will by no means be accepted
as the final decision by the ants.
Attorneys were employed to keep cases on
the election and some data have been gath
cred to form the basis of fight before the
board of county commissioners. The
newly elected officials are confident of
their titles to Office, however.
The new mayor is DIR. +. w. Harrell,

THE AGE OF REASON! /
Although nothing under the still learn Il
few unheardof things in this generation
JUST DISCOVERED.

Monsieur lie Comte, who
was a constant associate to
the Prince of Wales, was
one of the many who wor-
ried himself to death trying
to solve the problem of over
coming the bagging of pam
falcons at the knees. After
his death it was expert:
mented upon by the most
expert and intricate systems
of the art of cutting by such
gentlemen. But to no avail.
This morning, after a study
of two years, we have hit
upon the problem and solved
the enigma. We found that
the general run of men have
a habit Of using their single
pair of suspenders to their
numerous pairs of trousers.
The secret lies in the fact
that when making one pair
of suspenders answer for a
half dozen various trousers,
the hosting can not be
effected with the necessary
degree Of accuracy, hence
the bagging that follows.

adage that we can not tell
what day may bring forth,
and SO do we 60 through life,
always exchanging-recipro-

popular god. He was the son of Jupiter and Semele, the daughter of Cadmus-
 During the latter days of Roman organism Vesta was probably the most popular goddess of the empire. A tenn pie was erected to her in the Eternal city, upon an altar in which constant fire was kept burning. This fire was attended by women known as vestals. They were selected by order of the em- peror, and held office through life.
 Notwithstanding they were the most honored women in Rome it was always with great difficulty that persons could be found to fill vacancies. This was due to the terrible penalty of being buried alive imposed upon those who broke the VOWS of their office. It Is pleasing to note, however, that through out the history of Rome very few in stances are recorded where the dread full punishment was administered. The feast of the vestals was great event. The maidens were driven about the streets in chariots and the populace paid them homage. They had the free dom of the theaters and games at all times and were welcomed even at the thrones of the Caesars.

DENNIS WHITE ROSE.

It was in the sweet June afternoon the busy housewife sat All alone, save on the hearth-rug dozed the sleek , gray household cat; For the small feet, wont to batter on the spot [ less kitchen floor, In the sunny summer weather chased the daisied
 meadows OCT. Out of doors the noisy swallows twittered un.
 derncath the caves, And breezy joy had set a-Quiver all the ancient
 poplar's leaves, While the shining nipples chased each other
 through the tender wheat And the breath of clover blossoms from the mow
 ing fields came sweet Tn the quaint old garden there were roses white
 and blush and red There were ranks of gay Sweet Williams, and of
 pinks showy bed; Balm with cups of sweetest nectar that the va
 grant bees loved well, And clump of fringy southernwood that gave
 goodly smell By the open window, with her mending basket
 by her side, Wearily the shining needle long the busy house
 wife piled: Wearily, with many sigh, for Jenny's heart
 was out of tune With the gladness of the sunshine of the rare
 June afternoon. An! it was the same old storyl woman's work
 was never uOneI Always one dull round of labor from the dawn
 til set of sunl Weeds were choking up her flower beds; there
 upon the shelf unread Lay the precious book of poems she so long
 had coveted. Lost in discontented musings, scarce did Jenny's
 listless ear Catch the sound of Robins cheery whistle and
 swift footsteps near; When a brown hand playfully was laid upon hei
 silkcn hair, Stroked it with tender touch, and left white
 rose sticking there. It was but a simple white rose, and brown
 hands light caress, Yet it cured so quickly all her heartache and
 her wcarincss; And her eyes grew dim and tender with a sud
 den, happy rain; For somehow that white rose in her hair had
 made her young again! Ycs!-had she forgotton?-it was when tho roses
 were a-blow, Robin of his love had told her in that lovely
 "long ago;" First, with hand a-trcmble, stuck q white rose
 in her silSen braid, And with stolen kiss blush rose of her fair
 young check had made. And the heart of Jenny smoto her, for in those
 bright days long gone he had fou1ly tl0uy yht to toll for Robin should

A Flexible stone.

Of most stones rigidity is one of the most marked characteristics, and it is hard for uninformed people to believe that there are any stones that can be bent. There are some, however, that are more flexible than wood and bend readily under slight pressure without breaking. The most abundant of these Is itacolumite, or flexible sandstone, which is found in large deposits in Brazil. This stone Is composed of sep arate grains of sand cemented together with mineral closely resembling mica or sericite. These minerals, being quite flexible in themselves, confer the same property upon the sandstone as whole. The way in which the cementing ma terial was introduced into the itacolu- mite is not easy of explanation. Mica and sericite are not soluble and could not have been deposited by water, like calcite or sillca. It Is most probable that they were originally introduced in the form of clay or some similar ma terial, and afterward metamorphosed by heat, pressure and superheated steam into micaceous mineral. In- stances of similar change of one min eral species into another are very com p0o

 Lulu was a little ashamed of herself then and we got along very we'll for awhile, but the woods began to grow dark and the owls and the whip-poor- wills began to screech, and every story I had ever heard about snakes and bears and wildcats came into my mind. If we lay down to sleep I was sure wild cats would come and kill us.
 It grew so dark after time that we couldn't see our hands before our faces. and we hung on to each other in deadly terror.
 Every timo Lulu stepped on root she screamed out, thinking it was a snake, and once bat flew right into her face.
 But we didn't dare sit down, and though I was beginning to think we would hdre to stop soon, we kept strug- gling on.
 All at once we saw a light ahead of us. Yes, it was really light, and what we felt when we realized that you can perhaps imagine.
 It was house at last, we felt sure.

woman's Place in the Religions of the Ancients.
She Was Prominent in the Roman and Egyptian Ccremonials-Cleopatr Queer Weakness-Power of
 the Vestals in Rome.

In early times women were as much identified with the religious practices of their people as they are to-day, says the New York World.
 Egypt had a dozen deities, all of whom were supposed to take certain parts in directing the affairs and for tunes of the people. They were known as gods and goddesses, and their popu- larity was not unlike that of politicians to-day. The masses generally hocked to the ones they thought were capable or inclined to render the most substan- tial assistance in return for support and homage.
 Thus Isis was generally favored as a goddess. She was supposed to regulate the wheat fields and gardens of the Nile. Isis had many priestesses, who enjoyed great liberties in Memphis and Thebes. Among her most humble servants and ardent admirers was Cleo patra, who in her day was just as popu- lar for her beauty as Mrs. LaDgtry is to-day. When the queen wished to look unusually comedy she dressed her self in snow-white linen and donned the headdress of Isis.
 Bacchus, the Italian god of the vine, who was known to the Greeks as Dionysius, had many priestesses whose duties were to beg for good grape crops. These priestesses were treated with great consideration and kindness, especially when the vine was produc- tive, for which they were believed to be responsible, Bacchus was very

 But I wouldn't have made up my mind to run away just because of the baby. It was because mother and Mrs. Fenwick wouldn't let Lulu and me go to an exhibition of wax-works at Brom- field.
 Every body who had been to it said it was just grand, and, of course, Lulu and I were wild to go We wanted to drive, but we would have Sodlked sooner than not go, for it was only six miles.
 It was no use to tense, for Mrs. Fen wick and mother both said they couldn't afford it They wouldn't let
