Yes, quite so, and under a republican
administration the county expenses for
the last year have been $4,000 less than
any previous years expenses in the his
tory Of the county. See? And under
republican administration there has me-
yer been two county treasurers that
were defaulters. See? OF course the
populations oftwo democratic treasurers
did not have ANYTHING to do with the
deplorable condition of county finances.
See? Of course The peculation of two
democratic county treasurers did not
have the effect of adding several thous-
and dollars additional expenses upon
the county. See? Oh yes, Of course
the republicans are responsible for the
condition of county warrants. See?
Well, some republicans are responsible,
indirectly for the peculations of the
democratic county treasurer, as it was
republican votes that elected both of
them. Republicans, do you Seer A

Bryan went to Iron Mountain, Mich.
because Hanna is largely interested in
an iron mine at that point, and he
hoped to secure some intimidation"
stories to circulate through the country.
Instead of that, Hanna gave his men
three hours vacation to 60 aud hear
Bryan and paid them the same as il at
work. This is about the way employers
are "intimidating" the workingmen
everywhere. The more the working
man investigates, the less liable he is to
vote for Bryan.-Minneapolis Tribune.

The Journal has kindly consented to
ignore further criticism of our conduct
in the matter Of offering our space for
the advocacy of a sentiment with which
we were in perfect harmony. The
Journal, in its exceptional magnanimity,
is so moved by our frank confession Of
the crime (?) alleged, that it at once
decides to say no more about it. How

Voters should remember the fact that,
under the election law, as amended,
they must erase the name of any candi.
date for whom they do not desire to
vote, and place cross to the eft of the
name Of the candidate they desire to
support on another ticket. While it is
proper for all voters to understand this.
it is to be hoped that republicans will
largely refrain from using the pencil in
this direction. as the ticket presented
for their support is not susceptible of
Improvement thereby.

A PASTEL PORTRAIT.

The picture was charming. There
was no denying that. Frank Harwood
stood at the window of the shop and
stared in at II, as he had done every
day for the last week. The execution
of the work was not faultless. Some
crudities married it, but the ensemble
was bewitching.
The face-that CT a girl in the first
fresh bloom of maidenhood-looked
back at you over one m!stily-draped
white shoulder. The liquid eyes were
laughter-lit the slightly-parted scarlet
lips had shy droop, there was little,
round dimple in the chin, the hair that
melted into the soft gown and dusky
background was a wind-blown tangle
of reddish gold.
HARDWOOD entered the shop. shutting
out the whirling snowfl axes behind
him.

in the window-for sale?" he inquired

Can you tell me the name Of the

was left here as a sample to solicit
orders
"You are sure it is a portrait-not
merely an ideal head?"
THE artist said So"
GIVE me his name and address,
please"
But when the rising young barrister
had the slip safe in his pocket-book
and was out again in the white wintry
world he began to feel uncomfortably
conscious that in this particular in
stance he was not acting with the dis
erection on which he ordinarily prided
himself.
