much as the time is near at hand when
the Magistrates of our county will be
called upon to select some suitable per.
son to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Major j. A. Bradshaw, in the
office of Tax Assessor, and as one who

and welfare of the whole people of the

the claims of n who is amply quail
fled to exercise the functions of the of.
flee, who has always been a true and
tried citizen in the community where
he resides; who is physically disabled
for life, who has a widowed mother
and motherless children to support, and
who actually needs the office from a
financial standpoint. When an office
is to be given by the people, why not
give it to those who are physically un.
able to earn a living by manual labor?
We say we are a christian people, that
we are proud of u country as a land
OF bibles. Let US prove our faith by
our works. Let us elect S. X. Hart
man as our Tax Assessor. One whose
Judgment of real estate and the value
of the lands of III county is as good
as any of our citizens. Our candidate
has a thorough knowledge of bookkeep-
ing and is an excellent scribe, two
qualities the Court should take into
consideration. His father was a soldier
in the Federal Army and sacrificed all
in behalf of his country. Taking all
into consideration, is not his claim par
amount to all others? E. E. S,

make very easi,y and quickly some
charming frames which will be Appro
pirate enough
The most tasteful ones are thoss
fashioned of rich stuffs-velours, soft
silks, etc--in colors hsrmonizing with
the picture, and pieces of such goods
may often be found among an uphol-
sterer's remnants at prices far below
the original cost. The picture must
first be mounted on a piece of card
board, but the frame should be cut
three or four inches in width from
heavy bool<board, the lighter qualities
being almost sure to warp and spoil
the effect.
Laythe frame on piece of the goods
which is about ore inch larger all
around Cut the opening in the cen.
ter, allowing here also an extra inch,
and slash the goods trifie at each
corner 10 make it it properly. Place
a LAYER of cotton batting on the framo
before putting on the velour. as this
gives a richness. especially 10 a thin
material like silk, which is a great i'm
provement.
Glue is used exclusively by most peo-
pie in making these frames, but il
is often easier 10 secure the cloth
with thread, stretching il back
and forth, closely and securely.
The covered frame, however, must
be pasted 20 the mounted picture.
and as little glue as possible
should be used, as too much moist
ure will cause the heaviest boards
to warp. Put under weight until
perfectly dry. A delicate water-color
in grays and green's IS framed in white
silk, which Is covered with an sll-over
tinsel embroidery. This is very pretty.
and although the frame was made
nearly two years ago, IL is apparently
as fresh as at first, while the picture
has gained rather than lost in charm
during that time, which proves il to be-
really good. An olive velour frame
incloses view of the sea. and a cluster
of La France roses is very effective IN
frame OF old pink.
Delicate brass ornaments or wreaths,
bowknots, etc, are sold for the pur>
pose Of ornamenting covered frames
and are easily secured in place with
slender brass beads.
In these days of amateur photog-
raphy, really fine photographs of in
teresting places may be had for the
asking. Wooden frames are not did,
cult To make, and a few lessons in car
pentry and a little practice would give
anyone with a taste for the work su m.
cient skill 10 make an ordinary frame.
But 10 do this one must have proper
tools. Although one Young woman
known To the writer has made an en-
tire bookcase with no other aids than
a hammer and saw, the work could
have been done far easier IL she had
had access 10 workbench fitted out

Cornelius Vanderbilts have already
asked them TO the Fifth avenue palace.
The element which has heretofore
been hostile to the GOulds is now in a
somewhat embarrassing position, but
arrangements have been made to ac-
cept the situation gracefully. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gould are certainly charming and
liberal entertainers, and their advent
places a colossal fortune at the dis
posa1 of society. Mr.. Gould recently
sent Ward McAllister very handsome
antique hall clock and that gallant
creature suggested that its donor and
his fair wife should watch the new
year in with him in front of its VEN
cradle face. This news did not fail to
create sensation and betolzened in a
semi-oficial way the formal recogni-
ton of the Goulds as members of the
-Four Hundred. The coming year will
witness unrivaled prodigality on their
part in maintaining the new dignity.
Nevertheless, it was Mrs. Paran
Stevens who made the Gould family,
socially.

SELLING JUSTICE OUT. ricus intorna-
ton in advance regarding important
decisions of the court of appeals at All
bany and of the supreme court of the
United States at Washington. The
men involved in the development are,
IL few cases, noted fnanciers. They

roau, and whenever an important deci-
sion is due they peddle il about Wall
street fully q week in advance of Its
announcement. How they get this
early information about the doings of
one of the highest tribunals nobody ap-
pears able to find out. John G.
Sheehan gained unenyiablo notorietv
through his efforts to sell a court of
appeals decision, but his work in that
line is outdone by the present CLIQUE.
There is undoubtedly leak somewhere.
Such advance information is undoubt-
edly of the highest Importance, as it
usually happens that interests of great
magnitude are affected by the decisions
In question. Chief Justice Fuller is re-
ported to be quite concerned over the
incidents and the justices at Albany
are equally exercised. 1t Is h3t fair to
say that the justices themselves are
known to be above reproach in the
matter, but II seems probable that
somebody is leaving the temple of JUS
hce in ruins and running off with its
plumber. The Wall street CLIQUE will
undoubtedly get into trouble unless it
reases its operations.

TO work vigorously. The tomatoes

tugged out all the old coverings she

squashes.

Miss Abigail, shortly. drawing 8

before yesterday? l know you two

i supposed you'd heard that"
Miss Abigail manifested no interest
in this piece of intelligence, and Seth,
little piqued, soon moved on.
At last the long, cold task was COM
pleted. Miss Abigail went in. filled
her stove with wood till the fire
crackled and roared cheerily in her
little kitchen, and had her tea. Then
she sat down to her evening knitting.
How glad she was that her garden
treasures were safe! Her face grew
hard as she thought of Miss Suphronia' 5
garden, among whose squasnes Jack
Frost would revel that night.
There were bitter feelings between
Miss Sophronia and Miss Abigail.
Until recently they had always been
warm friends. From childhood they
had grown up beside each other, each
helping to bear the others sorrows
and sharing the others joys. And
when, later, the other members of the
two families had died, or had gone
away to form new homes, the two lone
". undemonstrative women came to be
very much to each other.
1t was a slight thing which caused
the trouble between them-a word
carelessly spoken by one about the
other, and carried to her, changed and
exaggerated, by a sossiping neighbor.

last the lifelong friends passed each

So that night, in her cheerful kitch-

not care in the least about Miss Sophro-

How tho Sweetheart Of Frer,-Orban Gave

in the life of the famous Belgian states

youth the future minister was a poor
student, bearing the simple name of

had crossed the threshold, stood up.

spoken. and kissed him heartily on the
lips The astonished parents were
soon informed of the significance of
