Chumly-How the mischief did you

didn't you marry the daughterI
Benedict thought over the matter
carefully. If l had married the daugh-
ter, I'd have had the mother on my
hands anyhow. Then I'd have had both
on my hands, but as it is, now that her
mother is provided for, very likely some
body else will marry the daughter, and
then I'll only have one of them to pro-

Love Versus Politics.

The Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria,
who has just been married to young
lieutenant, is spending her honeymoon
in residence presented by her grand
father, the emperor of Austria. The
emperor, who at first so strongly opposed
the match, as he desired the princess to
be the future empress of Austria, is re-
ported to have said: 1.-The poor child
shall marry the man she loves, We have
already made sacrifices enough to poll
tics. Vienna Letter.

The Ruby as "A Fruit.

The people of Burmah believe that the
ruby is a kind of fruit which will ripen
if you give it time. They say that most
rubies do not ripen simply because they
are not allowed to do SO. If you want to
"ripen" the ruby in your ring, according
to the Burmese idea, you must take your
ring and lay it in the sun for one month
without disturbing it at all, and at the
end of that time it will be "ripe" and
good to eat.-New York Journal

hard on Our CONGRESSMAN.

A Tennessee paper, which has reached
this office, is very unkind in speaking
of "our" Congressman. 1t refers to him
by the expressive but scarcely elegant
name of Jackass, and further adds that
his actions show the result of Democratic
influences on weak intellects. All these
charges may be true, but it is scarcely
polite to call him Jackass. even though
his actions in a Democratic way may
sometimes lack reason.

Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee 1 sing!
Land where the wheels are tied,
Land where industries died,
And to the English side
Took rapid wing.
My native country! thee,
Land to which paupers flee,
Thy name love;
love thy Cleveland frills,
Thy nO-trade tariff bills,
Thy Greshams, Smiths and Mills,
Born from above.
Let music swell the breeze,
Democratic to your knees,
And swell the song!
Let those who brought this fate
Their medicine take straight,
And three years longer wait,
To right the wrong.
Our father GrOyer.C.
MOgul of misery!
To thee we sing;
Bear with US, if you can,
But, If not, like a man,
Say you don't care a
For anything. E. B. L..

A Republican majority of 10000 in
winter and at special election is not
bad for any State, and that is about what
Pennsylvania gave for COngressman-at-
large on Tuesday. This is the largest
majority ever given. in the State, and it
would seem to indicate, that protection
sentiment is not wholly dead in spite of
the Wilson bill. The result is SO nearly
unanimous in favor of the Republican
candidate that if the Democrats have any
sense of the fitness of things they will
say nothing about the few votes they did

PENCIL POINTERS.

The future prosperity of agriculture
seems to lie in greater diversity of farm
products The chief farm products are
now produced and sold at little or no
profit because the supply is out of pro-
portion to the demand. Each year the
surplus has ben increased and in the
same degree has the stagnation of the
markets been augmented. a temporary
scarcity in any of these products causes
temporary advance in prices. but the
scarcity lasts only until another crop is
grown. The production is in some
manner out of proportion to the con-
sumption. To again to become prosper
Gus farmers must produce less of what
they already have too mach of and pro-
duce something of which the supply is
not equal to the demand, or in which there
is fair profit to the grower. What that
something is it is the business of the
progressive farmer to discover, and the
farmer that discovers it will be the one
that will make money.
Although it is about time for the pros
pective candidate for Congress to discov-
er that there is an irresistible demand on
the part of his friends for him to stand
for the nomination for seat in onr Ma
tional law making body, possible candi-
dates are but little talked of as yet. Still,
this backwardness should not be taken
as an indication that Belmont county has
no men who are willing to accept such a
nomination About the time the flowers
begin to bloom in the spring although
they have nothing to do with the case
it is probable that several gentlemen will
be found in the field as avowed candi-
dates. Belmont county has plenty of
congressional timber, and some of it is
of excellent quality. Likewise it is prob
able that other counties in the district
will have their full quota of aspirants
At least there is certain to be a suf-
ficient number of candidates to make the
contest interesting.

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The opinion of the Board of Education
of Richiand township is that the Work
man law should stand. At their meeting
Monday seventeen of the members voted
in favor of the law. The Board of Edu-
cation of this township is progressive
body of educators, and stands right up
in favor of modern methods as distin-
tinguished from the back woods and
antedated plans of the past.
O. NJ. Hogg, of Cadiz, who occupies a
seat in the State Senate and is supposed
to represent the people, is so well pleased
with his job that he wants to make it
last as long as possible, consequently he
is againss biennial sessions. Mr.. Hogg
is said to have aspirations and, if he
votes against the wishes of his censtitu-
ents, he only needs to ask for what he
wants.

1t is prevalent idea that the offices to
be filled at spring elections are unimpoI-
tant, and consequently too little atten-
tion is paid to the nominations for these
Offices. The office of Assessor is one that
should always be filled by capable man.
Yet too frequently the only characters
tic possessed by that officer is incapacity.
An assessor should not only be able to
place correct value on property, but
he should also know that nothing
escapes him. There is little doubt
were all forms of taxable property cor
rectly listed, that our tax rate would be
materially lower But then the rule Is
to pay no attention to the selection of
such officers, but when it is too late kick
like mules # an incapable man secures
the office, and makes botch of the work.
Recent events in Common Pleas Court
should serve as a notice to saloon-keepers
in this county that it will not be wise for
them to violate the law and get caught
at 1t. No other class of men violate the
law with so great impunity as liquor
dealers, and yet there is no good reason
why they should not be held to as strict
account as any other class of law break
ers. If they break the law they should
be punished, and it looks like they would
have to be little more observant of the
law or accept the penalty imposed on
violatOrS.

Senator White, of Louisiana, to the

forever.
