that this is not 40 preposter-

were made the first twelve
months would have just %

there would be NJ need refer

the 2nd, 9th, 18TH and 23rd,

would be on about the same

Why Picnics are so Called.

Everybody knows what a
picnlc is, but m ostfolks would
find it hard to say how ltgot
that name, and yet IT is sim.
pie enough when you cometo
learn it. When a picnic was
being arranged for, the Gus
tom originally was that those
who intende1 ! to be present
should supply the eatab!es
ond drinkables. A list OF
those necessities having. been
drawn up, it was passed a
round and each person pick
ed out the 6rticiG of food or
drink that hr or .he was will

of the article was nicked, OF

Col. Harry Skinner, his erst

er any doubt that Pritchard
and Skinner have formed a
combination TO throw But.

help Pritchard to 70 back to
the Senate. and when But

Is 10 throw his whole weight
to secure the election Of Col.
Skinner to the Senate to suc-
ceed Butler. There may be
many denials OF this state
inent, but it will be shown to
be true. If not true, W h y
should Mr.. Skinner remain
away from his seat in Con
press to take hold of the pOE

Farewell old 1896. Re-
member that it was in your
time that W. j. Bryan and
Cy. Watson were defeated
and other great calamlties
occurred. My advice to you
is to be modest in history
and not mOnOpolize a whole
book in the narration OF your
events. If you had put many
men who are now about to
survive you away in theirpo-
liticai gra YES the angels won
Id celebrate the New Year
with many companions
and the devil would get his
dues sOoner.-Sanford Elk.
