The Advertiser and the Clarke crowd are thoroughly rattled. They are losing ground daily. Every twenty-four hours that rolls over his head now makes it pIainer and palmer to Candidate Clarke that the State Herald was giving him good advice when it warned him against allowing the Advertiser to use him in its effort to defeat Captain Johnston, with whom it is offended.

could not probably bribe large body of voters.
 Upon it's face this proposition for a change looks plausible, but like that sim liar idea of electing the president by pop ular vote, it aims at a radical change in our government. If adopted we would become a complete democracy and aban- don the plan of representative republic of equal states.

The Advertiser is not only not carrying the democratic party of the state around in it's vest pocket, but doesn't even have the indorsement of the party in it's home county-Montgomery. The Montgomery county democracy knows something about the principles" of the Advertiser and as a result of that knowledge it's frantic appeals to its home people to help 1t destroy the man of all men who just now has its i'll will will fall flat.
 The demonstration in Montgomery at the Johnston speaking stunned the Ad- vertiser following. Close on the heel of that was the discovery of the fact by that paper that the county democratic exec utive committee of Montgomery county was for Johnston, 10 to 6. That simply knocked the old lady out. Its walls are those who know Colonel Johnston the
 It is very natural that information to the effect that the Montgomery demo- cratic executive committee was paying no heed to the lash of the Advertiser should create consternation in the Clarke ranks throughout the state.

performance. Select some woman-it is
impossible for any one to keep an eye on
more than one woman at once-and keep
a furtive but continued watch of her.
Perhaps she is a gentle dove-like little
specimen, with lips made apparently only
for osculatory purposes, and soft, plead
ing eyes. 1t does not matter. 1t is well
to pick out the most attractive woman in
the car, anyway. 1t is the natural thing
to do, and the more beautiful she is the
more closely she approaches all precon-
ceived ideals, the more remarkable is the
transformation scene which follows.
Keep a close watch of her, and do not
miss one of her motions. Suddenly a
look of discontinue spreads over her face.
Certainly something is wrong-nothing
apparent, it is true, but she obviously trou-
bled over something. Then the perform
ance commences. Her gaze IS fixed on
point just over the bridge of her nose.
This does not have pleasing effect. The
result is a sudden cross-eyed appearance
which has probably killed more budding
affections than all the stern parents on
record, counting even those in novels,
have ever destroyed. The sight of ones
divinity exhibiting herself with her gaze
tied in knots is calculated to chill the
warmest passion. But this is only the cur
tain-raiser, so to speak.
Finally, having ascertained through her
optical gymnastics that her suspicious
were well founded and that something is
surely wrong, she proceeds to the main
part of the performance Her face shuts

some method known only to women she
catches her veil under her lower lin and
pulls it into place. After which her face
returns TO its former pleasing composure,
but all Illusions have been knocked higher

This surprising contortion is the veil
face.
Apparently the veil cannot be kent in
place by hand. Why 1t cannot mortal man
does not know. Perhaps mortal woman
could tell him. 1t is possible that the hab-
it first originated at those seasons of the
year when every woman has both hands
full of bundles. If so there was some rea-
son for its beginning. But why it should
be maintained when the fair contortion-
list has at least one hand lying empty in
her lap is question.
All authorities agree that veil is an I'M
doubted necessity. They affirm that its
thickness should vary inyersely as the
clearness of complexion. But a veil which
can be kept in place only by a trained con-
tortionist must be susceptible of improve
ment. Perhaps it might be tackled to the
chin-bone with a brass-headed nail. The
nail would not be unpleasant to look at
and It might be set with precious stones.
The method would certainly be more at
tractive than the present one.
