A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

Thus far the canvas of the county
by the several candidates for Office
has been a clean one. No false ru-
mors have been started, no Ill feeling
has been engendered between oppos-
ing candidates, and every man seems
to be running on his own merits, and
not by attempting to decry the others.
This is as it should be, and the can
didates are to be commended, and the
people congratulated that such is the
case. Let this sort Of campaign be
continued to the end.

The Chicago people do not think that
the Columbian souvenir coins are sue
cess from an artistic point Of view. We
quote G. V. Turner, the artist who de-
signed the dedication medal: 1T is quite
on a level with the usual work Of the
mint. A very similar botch was made
Of the dollar at the beginning of the
year. A competition was announced,
and hundreds of designs were sent in
but the mint authorities rejected all and
fell back on their own man. A good OPP
portunity to produce an artistic coin
was lost then, and better opportunity
has been spoiled now. 1t is no wonder
that people are saying that the souvenir
half dollar is not like Columbus They
don't know, as a matter Of fact, what
Columbus was like, but they have a
pretty clear idea that he was not the
death mask the coin represents him to
be. Chicago Journal.

G. b. jefferson, who Is one of the man
ayers of "The Country Circus" has found
cheap way to take play with circus
attachment ION the road"
Mr.. Jefferson planned series of per-
formances at towns along the Hudson.
The officials of Mr.. Depew's road refused
10 carry horses and ponies except in the
freight cars, which didn't satisfy Mr..
Jefferson, and the American Express
company wanted $3.50 for the use of one
Its live stock cars. This sum, added to
the fares of the human actors and the
scenery, footed up $500 to get the com
pany out of town. Manager jefferson
brought his brains to bear ON the prob
lem and was inspired by the notion that
inasmuch as the Hudson river runs past
all the towns on its banks he didn't need
to pay for railroad fares anyhow. He
chartered steamboat for $500, and his
actors and actresses and animals marched
aboard the jefferson ark and started OH
their tour in high spirits at the thought
that Mr.. Jefferson had 5000 more in his
clothes than he would have had had he
left town by rail.-New York Sun.

uandshaking In the Morning.

Speaking of little things that sweeten
life. the English have pretty custom in
the matter Of handshaking. One hears n
good deal from time to time about shak-
ing hands being good form, then again
not being good form, and one can't help
thinking what vapid nonsense it is
quite on par with that style of hand
shaking that was introduced by boil
under fashionable arm. But, to get
back to the English. in every household
middle class or aristocratic--it is the
custom for every one to shake hands
with every one else when they meet in
the morning and when they separate mt
night.
The children of the house come into
the breakfast room. and instead of slid
ing into place at the table with mum
bled Good morning they greet father
and mother with kiss on the cheek and
CHEEKY Good morning. papa" and
Good morning, mulrmu," and then go
through the same little ceremony with
brothers and sisters. giving to the guests
a hand and the pleasant words.-Wash-
