PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY.


Anything Noble From Nature.
For the stability and Righteousness
of Il government we are accustomed
to think we must pin our faith ON the
country people who live near to ma
lures heart" writes Mrs. Lyman Alb
bott in The Ladies' Home journal, the
first of Il series Of Peaceful Valley"
papers. which picture life i'll an ideal
rural community. But how many Of
them. she says. "seem to have learned
anything noile from her: Her beauty
does not refine them. her honesty does
not incite them to thoroughress, her
free h~andedncss does not inspire them TO
generosity-they become narrow ard
sordid in tie midst of grandeur and lib.
erality. They imagine there car, be
nothing in life lut work or PLAY, toll
or rest. and they feel Il cortemp: for
those who play and rest They have
never learn, d to minsie work and play.
toll and rest iii due proportion. ana they
Cease TO find any pleasure i'll life unless
they abandon work altogether. Like the
tired who wrote her GIVE cpl
taph. they fancy heaven Il place wkers
they can do nothing forever and ever
This view Of lite makes loafers in
the village as it makes them Ill the
cities, When a different spirithas+ornd
room to grow, Il new order of living
prevails. Life becomes something more
than a slow grinding Of the mill, more
than a burden, to be endured only be-
cause it caHnot be ut will laid down. 1t
becomes a luxury as well as a necessi-
ty. individuals combine, not for their
own advantage, but to multiply bene-
factors. and as strength increases by
it, right use. the attainment of one
worthy and ambitious advantage is only
the suggestion and achievement of an
other"

When Hannibal Hnmilin was speaker OF
the Maine house Of representatives. away
back in tho ~fnr;ics, there was in that body
q certain gentleman of faultless attire,
pleasing manners, good address and some
reputation. but he had one foihle. His
bair was very thin, and he was highly
sensitive in regard to It,.
To hide his approaching badness he had
q hnhit of carefully stroking with bando.
line or other preparation each particular
hair in its place. One day, while in tho
chair us speaker, Mr.. Hamlin, in the in,
poocncc of n good and joke loving nut1rc,
sent for this gentleman, and. ~loohiuY
H1edly at his smooth and polished pate,
said with u chucklo:
"Blank, old fellow, l just wanted to tell
you that you've got one of the hairs o;
yonr head crossed over tho other
"You insult me, sir! You insult mel
replied the member, with unexpected and
altogether unnecessary Indignation, and
then, refusing to listen either to reason or
explanation, he left the speakers desk and
returned to his seat.
When Mr.. Hamlin became "a candid 'te
for the United States senate. this rclsie,
maj was u member Of the upper house oi
the Maine legislature. Although n nt.r'
Der of the same party, and only ono more
vote WAS needed to secure MIR. Humlin's
election, he positively refused to vote i'll
tho ma by whom he believed he had been
insultcd.
He was defeated for a seat in the spn.,;,
by n hair. hut when the next Nr'.Irt.
occurred he was elected. --''Lives of Iw,iiy

LACK ORIGINALITY.
Why Many Criminals Arc Easily Brought
to Justice.

to Justice.
Zone reason why detectives appear
to do something miraculous occasional
ly is that there is after all very little
originality in criminals. " said one of
Chief Hazen's sleuthlounds recently.
When a man sets out to get money
by crooked means. he seldom sits down
and evolves a new plan On the con.
trary, he evidently thinks of the smart
cases he has heard of at different times,
makes up his mind which snitS him
best and copies the plan adopted very
closely indeed.
Hence, when the detective sets out,
he has. in many instances, quite a
string of precedents to take as guides to
the curse the criminal will probably
pursue.
"One case, years ago, that helped me
immensely in the business. was Il torg-
cry. The man had disappeared and left
no clew whatever behind.
II obtained access to his room and
found that he had developed q partial
ity for cutting scraps from newspapers.
There was n whole drawerful of these.
and | wen through them carefully.
several had relation to forgery
cases, and one cutting that appeared to
be pretty badly fingered described how
u forger had got away in woman's at.
tire.
Il worked OIL the theory that my
bird had flown in this manner and fol.
lowed it III, until / finally got Oh the
track and captured the criminal.
THE capture was regarded as n very
remarkable one. but, as Il matter of
fact. the runaway had left for me an
exceedingly valuable olew. If he had
taken The %procaLtion to burn that cut.
ting. he might lave escaped capture al.
together. "-Ciuoinnati Enquirer.

With a top 10 hid what was put inside
And n hnndlet TO take it along.

He was n good man and true.
He bought the 'asket, and, filling it up,

iWin If You Cam are the memorable
words Senator Wellington uttered in closing
a speech at meeting Of the Republican State
Central Committee declining TO serve longer
as chairman. because the regularly chosen
delegates from Baltimore city we're excluded
from the state convention. He recited his
services to the party, pointed out the success
he had attained, and said success would have
been attained again this year had his advice
been needed, but the organization he had built
IN. and which would have been aided by the
votes ofthe Independents who made Repub-
Ican success possible in 1895 and 1896, had
been beaten and he would decline to serve
longer as chairman.

Get Registered.


Carroll is a Democratic county. 1t i only
Democratic, however, when the full Demo-
cratic vote is registered and polled.
There are still some Democrats mregis-
tered, and next Tuesday is the last opportu-
nifty that will be offered for registration.
No unregistered Democrat entitled to reg
istration should neglect this last opportunity
to qualify himself TO vote in November.
The party is going to reclaim the state from
Republican ring rule or November I'd, and
Carroll should resume her place in tie Demo-
cratic column.
The Mudd machine now in control of the
Republican party is the worst that ever con-
trolIed the organization, and in casting it
down Democrats will have the active and
