Queer Election Board.

Sunbury Daily: On election day,
IN East Cameron township, the cleo
tion board consisted of five persons
who were all brothers-in-law. 1t is
not often that one family can run an
election, and we doubt whether such
another case has ever occurred in the
state. In part the board consisted of
Emory Henninger, Monroe Whary
and Joe Whary. The three above
named married sisters by the name of
Weikel. The balance of the board
were Benjamin and Oscar Weikel,
brothers to the girls who had married
the other members OF the board.

DR.. e. J. Sem, of Chicago, Is thus
quoted in the Chicago Times-Herald:
II do not believe that physicians
should wear bushy boards. In fact, I
think we will all have to come to the
sacrifice and go Clearly shaven here
after. I believe that the conventional
doctor of the future will have a smooth
face instead of beard. My father is
bitterly opposed to boards for physi-
clans, and does not allow his internes
to wear them. I think 1t is possible to
be too radical in the matter, and per-
haps he is. I wear a closely cropped
beard, and do not see how 1t can aid
at all in spreading contagion. With a
long beard, and especially in surgical
cases, it is different. Careful physl-
clans who have boards protect them
with gauze guards, Of course, and do
not allow them to come in contact with
or distribute disease germs in wound.
1t is better, perhaps, for all physicians
to be clean shaved, and I certainly be-
Heye we will all have to come to it."

Such a horror as that at the orphan
age near Dallas, where sixteen chill
dren persisted in the flames and nine
were seriously injured, ought not to
have been possible. OF course. the
fact that the fire broke out at midnight
is a reason for the inability to save
more Of the children, but there was a
fragrant abuse of the first principles OF
safety in housing PAT children in q
building constructed chiefly Of wood.
Even If the fire had occurred in the
daytime, there is serious doubt wheth-
err the tinder-box would not have been
entirely in flames before all the in
mates could have been rescued. Any
large building that is intended to ac-
commodate vast number Of people
should undoubtedly be built Of FIRE
proof material, and the authorities in
every State should always see to II
that this fundamental care Of human
life is always taken.

While the attention of the world has
been concentrated on Turkey and Gu

fairs have been permitted to run wild,
as it were, and have only just succeed

the cables. Perhaps the most extraor-
binary event, if it is as serious as it ap-
pears to be, is that reported from

Brass in other localities has been re-
sponsible for many striking incidents
recently, they have not been so aston
ishing as this report from the Brass on

dition sent by the Royal Niger Com
pany against the Emir Of Nupe from
Lokoja found the Foulah army dispers-
ed and in fight when it arrived at
Kabba.' This must have been exceed,
ingly unpleasant for the poor old Emir
of Nupe, and it must have annoyed
the Foulah army excessively to fall a
victim, thus to Lokoja probably means
lockjaw). Yet, viewed as a strategic
movement simply on the part of the
Niger company. it cannot be denied
that since it was seeking the discom-
future of the Emir Of Nupe and the Fou-
lab army the best way to accomplish
it was to proceed to Kabba.

SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN ARTIST.

John s. Sargent, Now a Regular Mem
Der OF the British Royal Academy.
John S. Sargent, the American artist
who has just been promoted from asse-
ciate to regular member Of the British
Royal Academy, has been painting
many years. His first exhibited work
was shown in the salon Of 1877. 1t
was a portrait of young lady, and
cleverly done. The following year he
painted a group Of fisher girls on the
shore at Cancale. In 1879 he exhibited
'sNeapolitan Children Bathing" and In
1882 "El Jales." Following these Mr..
Sargent's work was a series Of tri-
umphs, which placed him in the first
rank of painters. In 1888 came "Chil-
dren's Portraits and in 1884 'Mme.
Ganthercan" In 1885 Mr.. Sargent
went to London, and his canvases ex-
hibited year after year at the Royal
Academy excited great interest and
were the subject Of wide discussion.
Among the most notable are the Misses
Vickers, Miss White, Lady Playfair,
Mrs. Playfair and a portrait group
which he called "Carnation, Lily, Lily,
Rose" Mr.. Sargent came to America
in 1887 and again in 1889, and the re-
suits of these visits were a number of
portraits in his best vein-Mrs. Mar
quand, Mrs. Bolt, Mrs. Elliot Shepard,
Mrs. Jack Gardner, Mrs. Nissan and
others. The French government pur-

They are introducing Office girls in
Chicago, and those who have them in
their employ are very well pleased with
them. They say that the Office girl is
superior to the Office boy in many par
ticulars. In the first place she does not
smoke cigarettes. As a rule she has
absolutely no taste for dime novels.
She is usually bright, quick and ener-
getie, and ever SO much cleaner and
neater than any boy can be. Testimony
upon this point is almost unanimous,
and most of those who have tried Office
girls declare that never again will they
have an Office boy around the premises.

Small Courtesies

Habit counts for so much in little
things that one cannot look too care
fully after the small courtesies in ones
own conduct. A writer in the Interior
describes a visit to home where the
young people possessed the true polite
ness which habit had made natural.
One evening last week I entered a
room where several young men with
books and work were sitting around
the lamp. The young man with the lex
icon and the grammar on the table be-
fore him was the busiest of the groun.
but he instantly rose and remained
standing until had taken my seat.
The little action was automatic: the
habit Of his family is to practice small
courtesies, and the boys have been
trained from childhood to pay defer
ence to women. They always rise
whenever lady, their mother, sister
friend, or guest Of the house, comes into
the room where they are at work.
Neither mother nor sister goes out
after dark without an escort. One Of
the boys can always go out of his way.
Or find 1t in his way, to see her safely
to friends door, or to the meeting
which she wishes to attend. Most win
ming and sweet is the air Of good breed
ing which these young men have ac-
quired, which they wear with an un-
conscious grace.
You should not care so much about
the merely superficial conduct" saws a
friend. "Veneering is only polish laid
on. approve Of the man or woman
who is honest, sincere. 1 can pardon
him little brusqueness, which may be
his only misfortune"
1t Is not veneering to be polite. We
are apt to grow confused on this sub
Ject, and to fancy that there is O nat
ural conflict between goodness of hear
and elegance Of department. The fact
is, life would be a far more agreeable
thing If politeness were more assidu-
ously cultivated.

Hitherto it has been q comparatively
easy matter for the young black men
to satisfy the cravings Of their sweet

the amount Of clothing the women were

At first the native SWANS Of Nataf
bought for their sweethearts the old.
high-wheeled bicycles which were dis.
carded by the European market. These
for a time satisfied the aspirations OF
the native African bellies. They quick
" learned, however, that wheels Of
this pattern were out Of date, and that
the safety with inflated tires was the
proper thing. Since that time no black
girl making any pretensions to style
in Natal will be satisfied with anything
less than a wheel Of the '95 or '96 pat

AS much bitterness and hate can be
expressed in word as can be fired out
of gun.
A good man finds good wherever he
goes, because the good In him brings
out good in others.
Let woman be weighed down by
responsibilities and she will far more
frequently fight her own way out Of
them than succumb to them.
Every honest occupation to which a
man sets his hand would raise him into
a philosopher If he mastered all the
knowledge that belonged to his craft.
There are few mortals SO insensible
that their affections cannot be gained
by mildness, their confidence by sin
cerity, their hatred by scorn or neglect.
There is no law with regard to eat
ing and drinking and manner of living
which can be laid down as applicable
to all individuals. Each person must
find out the law which applies to him
self and obey it.
Taste is not only part and index
of morality, it is the only morality. The
first and last and trial question to any
living being is, what do you like ~
Tell me what you like, and I'll tell
what you are.
Among all the virtues, humility, the
lowest, is pre-eminent. 1t is the safest,
because it is always an anchor; and
that man may truly be said to live
most content in his calling who strives
to live within the compass Of it.
