WE notice that n good deal of tele-
graphing is being done throughout the
State in reference to Senator Vests
standing or the Pertle Springs plat
form. We presume all Democrats
stand on n platform after it has been
made, ne matter whether they en-
dorse all of it or not. No platform
was ever made which would please
every member of the party. Simply
because a Democrat stands on a plat
form Ia no a he agrees with it In
detail by any means. Senator Vest is
a Democrat, but there are a great
many things advocated by some
Democrats that Senator Vest does not
believe in. At the same time he will
always be found on the platform and
in line fighting against the common
enemy. Vest is that kind of n Demo-
crat.

Sitting in the front seat, in the front

old, yet youthful. He had smooth face
and great deal of it. His silk hat was
tipped well back, giving one fair view
of his high and broad forehead. He had
an excellent nose, a good chin and jaw
enough to mean fight. In his arms was

much at ease, with his legs crossed,
and for 10 stations did not SO much as
notice another person in the car He
was pondering deeply. He did not wear
the angelic countenance of Bob Inger-

The Popularity of the "R."

A little feature to be seen in some
writings, perhaps only to be distin-
guished as a separate gesture by the aid
of magnifying glass, is the tiny stroke
which is separately placed above the
small in order to show that it is an r
and to thus distinguish it from another
letter, or part of letter, which resem-
bles the when the latter Is made with
out this little top stroke. At the first
glance how Insignificant does this de-.
tail appear! But is it really without
meaning as human action? l think
not.
A man who habitually takes the trou-
BILE to make clearer the meaning Of one
of his symbols at the cost of little
separate action is man who takes pains
with his work, and who desires to do
his work well. This action, trivial as it
appears, could scarcely be done by u
