The people of Alexandria voted mo
license" at the recent village election,
the vote standing 266 for license and
274 against. It was a pretty close
contest and is liable to be reversed
next year. If the people who do not
want saloons are in earnest and make
fight they can accomplish some
thing, but there are great many very
good people who are ready to reform
the world by poking a little slip of
paper in a ballot box in secret but
haven't the courage of their convic-
lions when it comes to making a fight.
They are liable to become discour-
aged when the thing refuses to reform
itself and vote for license another
year. The $500 the village gets from
each licensed saloon seems to appear
very large in the eyes of many people,
but since the whiskey traffic is re-
sponsible for ninety per cent of the
crime, it readily appears that the
license fee of the saloon does not pay
the expense it entails upon the CON-
munity to say nothing of the misery
it causes. We believe therefore that
the saloon is great financial burden
upon the people instead of help, but
even if there was money for a village
in the awful traffic in human virtue
and honor, the village or corporation
which could not live and flourish
without such assistance should sink
like Sodom. It is unworthy to en-
cumber the earth. Todd Co. Argus.

than as an avowed candidate.

The Mckinley tidal wave is contin-
ually rising and carries everything
before it. State after state fall in
line for the national fayorite, and his
nomination on the first ballot is not
at all improbable. The hope Of the
opposition has been to divert as
many votes from him as possible by
the favorite son racket, and then
combine upon some other candidate
or possibly dark horse, but in the
light of recent events even this
scheme is likely to fail. Mckinley is
too strong with the masses.

Goat Ate Up Address,

Several days ago the employees of a
local express office were furnished con.
siderable amusement, and all at the
expense of an innocent goat and an
aged darby. Hez Sampson some time
ago promised Shepherdsville friend a
goat?
The animal, with liberal use of
water and soap, was converted into a
whiteness exceeding that of a politi-
clans conscience. A neatly printed
tag was attached to the goats neck
and the animal was started for the ex-
press Office in charge of the colored
man.
He was led proudly into the express
office and up to the shipping clerk.
II want to ship this goat" began the
colored charge.

Lord Leighton.

Although an Englishman, Leighton
was brought up abroad, and this is no
doubt sufficient reason why his works
seem to stand apart from those of his
contemporaries of the English school,
Born at Scarborough on the Sd of De-
cember, 1880, the son of doctor, he
was taken abroad at very early age
on account of his mothers delicate
health. In 1910 the Leightons went to
Rome, where he learned drawing regu-
larry under Signor Nell. They then
moved to Dresden and Berlin, where he
attended classes at the academy. In
1843 he was sent to school at Frank
fort, and in the winter of the following
year accompanied his family to Florence
It was here that his future career was
finally settled. His father consulted Hi
ram Powers, the celebrated American
sculptor, who, in answer to the ques-
tion, "Shall I make him an artist?' re-
piled, "Sir, you have no choice in the
matter; nature has done it for you. -

Too Much Knife !

The use of the surgeons knife Is be.
coming so general, resulting fatally
in such large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press al.
most daily announces the death of some
unfortunate whose system could not
withstand the shock of an operation,
and whose life was cruelty sacrificed to
the keen blade of the surgeon.
OF course, in some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning to realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
ing to the knife, and if such state of
affairs continues, there will before long
be general uprising against such meas
ures It is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know of their error, and though a
precious life is given up, the public is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiserf
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease IS
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of a
terrible condition of the entire circula-
ton. To cut ont this sore, therefore,
does not in any way effect the disease,
and it can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. SIS.
is the most powerful blood remedy made,
and is the only cure for cancer.

DUCKS DROWN AN EAGLE.
Alleged Exploit Attributed to Grow Duck
on the Potomac.

Alleged ExplO1t ~ OAV" Ds~Ao
on the Potomac.
IF writer for The American Field is
to be believed, the crow duck is most
extraordinary bird ON the Potomac rlv-
er, cutting up such capers as to make
even naturalist gasp.
"Four years ago. he writes, while
shooting ducks with Mr.. Waller, no.
ticed a flock Of 5000 or 1000 crow
ducks. After half an hour noticed an
eagle going toward the flock. When he
arrived at the proper distance, he made
a dart, but the ducks, as if by magic,
went under water like a fash and
sent up a volume as if big mine
had been exploded. This was done time
and time again, and finally the volume
of water thrown up was so great that
the eagle was nearly drowned An old
QUICKER once told me that he once wit
messed the same scene and that the eagle
was drowned This is sight seldom
seen, which may occur but once in a
ducking life of 80 years"
This crow duck is also known as the
American coot, mud hen, blue peter
and Fulica americana by various hunt
ers and alongshore people. Up north
these ducks may be seen in creeks and
marshy, reed grown rivers, but south in
Florida they resort in enormous num-
bers to the lakes where bonnets or yell
low lilies abound, associating there
with lesser scaup ducks They are shy
birds, being much prosecuted usually,
but in localities where shooting is pro-
hibited, near the Titusville Ella. } rail
road pier, for instance, they are as tame
as sparrows, understanding that there
they are safe.
The nearest anybody ever came to the
drowning eagle story was Frank M.
Chapman in his "Birds of Eastern North
America, when he says: "When alarm
ed, they patter over the water, using
their feet as much as their wings. The
sound produced is characteristic one. !"
He does not say whether the water flies
or not, but one could imagine that q
crow duck just as it turned up to dive
could give its scalloped webbed feet q
kick up behind, like vicious mule, and
so saturating the eagle that it would be
drowned. Eagles often catch living fish
cut Of the water, and, Ct course, get
more or less wet in doing SO, but per-
haps the Potomac river eagles are Of a
different species than those known to
bird books.

ORIGIN OF ICEBERGS.
A New South Wales Scientist Advances q
Theory of Their Formation.

A New South Wales Scientist Advances a
Theory of Their Formation.
In a paper read before the Royal So
ciety of New South Wales Mr.. HI. G.
Russell dealt with the origin and release
of icebergs AS is known, the number
of icebergs met with between the cape
of Good Hope and Australia differs
greatly, being much more numerous in
some years than in others. There has,
for example, within the past few years
been very large accession of enormous
icebergs, and it has been suggested as
an explanation of this that unusually
heavy falls Of snow may account for it
by accelerating the motion of the ice.
Mr. Russell, however, assures us that
the circumstances forbid the acceptance
of this view, because the motion Of the
glacier depends mainly ON the declivity
down which it is descending, and that
does not alter. The piling up Of snow
could not in one year cause such a
marked increase in the rate Of flow as
would be necessary to account for the
enormous increase in the number Of ice
bergs which appear from time to time.
1t is obvious that there must be force
sufficient to break off the icebergs which
are slowly forming OH the shore and to
do it at irregular periods separated by
many years, and in Mr.. Russell's opin-
ion the true cause is found in the volca-
noes Of the antarctic continent.
When these burst forth in eruption,
and by that act shake the foreshores,
the icebergs are broken off from the gla-
ciers. This view is to some extent con-
frmed by the report of the United
States photographic office ON the float
ing ice seen during 1892 and 1898 in the
south Atlantic east of Cape Horn. In
that report it is stated that the icebergs
were of such size that they could not
have been formed on small, low lying
islands, but only on large continent,
where glaciers of great height could
form. Dispatch.

Did He Get His Whipping?

Tom, Dick and Harry got into trou-
BILE one recess. 1t was strictly against
the rules to throw stones, yet they had
been caught in the act by an angry
old gentleman whose orchard came up
to the school-house yard. Worst of
all, he had seen a stone from the hand
Of Tom smash through the glass of his
fine conservatory. So the guilty three
expected severe treatment when the
principal invited them to a private in
terview.
Tom was the oldest and worst of
them. Harry was an innocent little
fellow, misled by the example of the
others. Dick was usually well-behaved,
but had gone wrong for once. The
teacher said:
Boys, you have broken two valu-
able things, this gentleman's glass and
one of my rules. You deserve severe
punishment and perhaps you will get
it, but intend giving you a chance
to escape. Each of you may guess for
himself whether he is to be punished
or not. Those who answer wrong will
be punished, those who answer right
will be spared, so be careful what you
say. Henry, you may guess first"
Harry looked up timidly and ventured
to say: II guess you win not whip me,
sir"
VERY good. my boy; you have an
swered correctly. I shall have to let
you off. Go to your seat. Tom, your
turn"
Tom thought he had learned some
thing by Harry's success. so he said,
with a bold grin:
II guess you won't punish me, either"

the first tune causing no less than five
simultaneous runaways among horses
and the wrecking Of two wagons and

one tune had wrought he let the wind

last week, won't you"
Eyes, indeed, 1 will"
The time passed quickly to the little
girls, for Aunt Mary told them stories,
and just as they finished the last bed,
the dinner-bell rang.
After dinner Aunt Mary gathered
dozen marguerites, and the same num-
Der Of well-formed fuchsias; while She
was busy getting the flowers, Ethel ran
to her room, and got number of pins,
and the bottle of ink, and pen, and
Margie went to the kitchen to get sew
eral broom straws.
Aunt Mary then trimmed off all the
stamens of the fuchs;a but two, which
were left for feet.
Margie cut off all the petals Of each
marguerite, leaving them as margin,
for the ruff1e of the little cap. except
two, these petals were left for strings.
AS soon as she had finished one,
Ethel marked eyes, nose and mouth
on the center of it, with pen and ink.
When this was done Aunt Mary put
broom straw through the tube Of the
fuchsia for arms and connected the
head with the body with a pin, and
this finished dozen OF the cutest little
flower dolls which looked like this.
Margie and Ethel were delighted, and
carried their dolls to tue garden wall
under the shade of the large maple.
Here they played until their Uncle
Will asked them to take a drive. They
hurried off, and it was almost tea
time when they returned.
Remembering their flower dolls, they
ran to get them: but the hot sun had
come beating down on them, and each
little flower lady had dropped, and
had died.-Household
