TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1893.
Chairman County Central Committe,

JUDGE GRANT GREEN, JR, as will be seen by his announcement in an- other column, is q candidate for re- election to the Judgeship of the First Judicial Circuit, which position he has so acceptably filled during the last four years. Judge Green has been a life long democrat, prominent in the coun- cls of his party, and although elected
 to his present position by the People s party, he has in nowse forgot his early teachings and lifelong practice. In
 this connection it is but fair to state that at the time of his election he was a member of the State Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee, and in no sense a candidate for the office, but that his name was used without his consent and over his positive public protest. After his election he refused to qualify until urged to do so by prominent dem ocrats throughout the state. and on the advice of the state Democratic Execu- tive Committee, all of whom advised him to accept it in the interest of the democracy. He was actively in the democratic harness for the regular nominee, and while we do not favor too much politics in a race for judicial honors, we think Judge Greens course at that time commendable and a mat ter of congratulation, as should there have been new election at the time, we would no doubt have had bitter, partizan populist or republican upon the bench. THE TIMES does not mean to champion Judge Greens candidacy
 There are other able aspirants in the field, but we feel that it is due him to say that his democracy is unquestion
 able, that he is learned in tue intrca- cies of the law, dignified, just and hon. orable. and has served the people and the state in most acceptable manner.

small species of formica not more than

hands and necks were the first objects of

were massed IN silence round the point

three times repeated, though until then
we had not believed in the vocal power
of an ant. The instant after we felt the

Japanese TYnes.

There are two totally distinct types
in Japan, which may almost be said TO
be each others opposites. The first,
which the japanese themselves call the
Chinese, or Corean, is the more common.
Those belonging TO it have round faces,
fiat noses, full cheeks, rather thick
hps-very pretty ones often-and very
good white teeth. Those belonging To
the second, or true japanese type, have
long and comparatively pale faces, noses
arched like the beak of bird, thin lips,
large eyes, with not very strongly
marked eyebrows; teeth mostly good,
always very white, but often long and
irregular. This is the ariStocratic type,
which when at its best is really worthy
of admiration. To be called handsome
japanese must belong to it, while
those of the Chinese cast of countenance
are never more than pretty.
Strange TO say, the moral character
of the sections of the community differs
as much as does their appearance. |
have noticed that, as a general rule
those with Chinese faces are gay, laugh
ing and restless, full of careless good
humOr, while the others are silent, in
different, melancholy, sometimes even
dismal. Harper's Weekly.

BrOnchos and Mustangs.

Tenderfeet, by the way, are very apt
to mix up the terms "broncho" and
mustang" The mustang is literally
a wild horse-that is, one whose fore
fathers have never been in captivity and
whose ancestry is believed to be derived
from the horses of the old Spanish in
vaders-while the bronchOs are the chill
dren of cow ponies, or horses which
have been used and which have been
turned out on the range for the pur-
pose of breeding. These horses are
branded, and the colts belong to the
man whose brand is on the mother.
Horses are rounded up every year, and
the colts are caught and branded by the
owners of the mares with which they
are found running, and when they be-
come of breakable age they are taken
by the men whose brand they bear. OF
course there is more or less of false
branding. but where hustler" is
found engaged in this industry he is
generally sent to a place where horses
are not supposed to exist and where
there is no temptation for him to in
dulge the fad.-New York Mail and

An Amateur Tinker's Experience.

A well known merchant of this city,
who is of saving disposition and of
mechanical turn of mind, has an incli-
nation to attempt to do everything. He
considers nothing well done that he
does not do himself. The other evening
one of the clocks at his home refused to
keep time, SO he thought he would re-
pair it. He had repaired many a clock
before and had not the least doubt of
his skill. He took all the wheels and
pinions apart and cleaned them. This
occupied the entire evening, and when
he retired he dumped all the cogwheels
and parts of the clock into a drawer in
his desk. The merchant is unfortunate,
at least at this time, in possessing son
of mischievous disposition who happen
ed to come across the drawer full of
wheels. He knew what his father had
been doing and thought he would have
a little fun. He went to his room where
he had wheel that had been taken
from another clock and placed this in
the drawer with the other 'fixings."
That night the father commenced his
work of putting the separate parts to-
gether. He tried it several times, but
always had one wheel left over. The
next night ne tried the problem once
more. Again he failed. For two weeks
he puzzled over his mechanical problem,
always having wheel left over for
(which he could not account. Finally
the son, who had been enjoying the
sport, told his parent of his little joke.
Then he wished he had made no confes-
sion.-PIttsburg Dispatch.

THE CROWN OF FAILURE.

When you have lived your life,
Whe1 you have fought ycar last good fight and
won,
And the days work is finished. and the sun
Sets on the darkening world and all its
Ere the worn hands are tired with all they've
done.
Ere the minds strength begins to droop and
wane,
Ere the first touch Of sleep has dulled the BRAIN
Ere the hearts springs are slow and running
When you have lived your life,
Twere good TO die
II il may not be so.
If you but fight fight you may not win:
See the far goal but may not enter in
'Twere better then 10 die and not 10 know
Defeat-to die amidst th0SUsh and din.
Still striving, while the heart beats high and
fast
With glorious life. IL you must fail at last,
Such end were best with al your hope and all
Your spirit in its youth
Then, when you fall.
Far better so 10 die.
Still toiling upward through the mists obscure
With all things possible and nothing sure,
Than TO be touched by glory and passed by,
To win. by chance, fame that may not endure
That dies and leaves you living, while YOU
strive
With wasted breath TO keep its flame alive
And fan, with empty boast and proud regrets,
Remembrance OF a past
The world forgets.

The Paving Teller's Story.

"In our bank, you know" said the
paying teller, "we never allow any ciga-
rette smoking, and part Of my business
is to see that nobody comes into the bank
with one of the vile things burning.
Well, the other morning a young fellow
came in with a note he wanted certified.
He was a nice, country looking sort of a
boy and must have been new at his busi-
ness, as he wandered all around the bank
before he struck my window. But as
soon as he came up to me l caught the
smell of cigarette Somebody is smok-
ing a cigarette | thought to myself,
'and it must be that boy, though l don't
see one in his mouth So looked at him
and said, Have you a cigarette?
"'What, sir? said the boy as cool and
fresh as May morning.
"'Have you cigarette?

ed out a box and stuck them in at my
