At the spring election, to be held 10
April, candidate will be voted for TO
fill the position of county school COM
missioner and it behooves every cleo
tor in the county TO consider we'll the
fitness Of the several men now aspiring
to such Office. The present incumbent,
Elmer b. Hale has held the Office for
four years, and is a candidate for a
third term nomination by the Republi-
cans, but 1t is customary for a man to
retire after two terms, and for this
reason it is thought that Mr.. Hale
will not be his own successor. The
township Of Lyons will present two men
to the Republican convention, either
OF whom, If nominated and elected,
will honor the Office and perform its
duties with an eye single to the adj
vancement OF the interests OF the
schools OF the county. They are M. f.
Scott and Geo. H. Steadman. As be-
tween the two candidates the Herald
must stand neutral, and can only say to
the Republicans OF the county that
they will make no mistake IL they Sc
lect either Nj. f. Scott or George II.

An inventory Of the estate OF the
late Calvin S. Brice, disclosed IA fact
very common in the history OF sup
posedly rich men. Credited with be-
ing millionaire several times over, IL
develops that he was worth but $780,
600. A similar scaling down" may
safely be predicted in the case OF nine
men in ten who are vaguely reputed
milllonaires. A million of dollars Is
great deal OF money, and even under
the most favorable circumstances few
men acquire 1t, or II they do their
wealth is more strictly potential than
actual. Many rich men are "land
POOR" others have their wealth in
securities not readily marketable save
at great loss. 1t is not at all impos-
sible that man may be worth mil
lion-on paper-and still be hard put
10 1t To pay his grocer's bill. Just
how far this statement applies to Mr..
i3rice can only be conjectured. In his
case il Is ntimated that he transferred
IL great part OF his possessions immedi-
ately prior to his death. with the
fashionable idea Of escaping the in
heritance tax. But whether he did or
not, it is quite clear that he was not at
the time of his death, nor probably at
any other time, worth 1.-THE OF the
sum with which he was popularity Gre
dited. The same thing is undoubtedly
true of most men reputed to be very
rich.

The recent defeat of the governor, IN
the election of speaker and United
States senator whom he did not want,
appears To have made him weary of try
ing TO serve the people. He will not be
u candidate for the United States SEN
ate in 1900 and does not much expect
that Albert Pack will be. For himself,
he thinks he would not cut much OF a
figure among the millionares in the
senate He admits that he might make
few plain speeches there, in which
things would be called by their real
names, but that would amount to but
little. He would feel out of place. He
is not wholly discouraged by the pros
poets of his taxation measure but hopes
it will go through the present legisla-
ture. He is going to make an heroic
effort to accomplish it, but if it fails
this time he will make no further effort
but let equal taxation go by the board
and take up some other reform. The
old man seems to be losing his nerve.

Thomas Jefferson Was Not Born on

Birthday Dinners.

There will be many dinners in honor of
Thomas Jefferson, April 18th. Yet he was
not born on that day He was born on
April ID, l743, old style, but owing to the
new style of time computation beginning
with the introduction of the Gregorian Cal
endar, 1852, at which time the Equinox
had refrigerated eleven days since the
Council of Nice in A. d. 1926, when the f-s-
tival of Easter was established and the
equinox occurred on March 81, the dates of
anniversaries originating prior to Pope
Gregory's Calendar are determined by add
ing eleven days, hence Thomas Jefferson s
birthday is properly observed on April
18th. This Interesting fact is pointed out
ON pages "a and % of the New York World
Almanac, a most interesting statistical
book of oyer 500 pages. That newspaper
offers to send the volume postage paid for

Twenty.one Millions of Candles.

In St. Nicholas there Is an article enti
tied IA Giant Candle" by w. S. Har-
wood, describing one Of the sights Of the
Stock holm exposition. Mr.. Harwood says:
1t seems strange in this day Of electricity
that there can be found in a part of tho
world where civilization has gone a people
who are SO generally given over to candle
light as are tho inhabitants of Sweden.
In one year one firm in Sweden manufao-
lures for the trade Of Sweden almost ex-
olusively 81, 900, 900 candles Of all sizes
from . or 8 inches in height up to feet.
In spite Of tho introduction OF electricity
into the cities the people keep using can
dies, and they even seem to think them q
necessary part Of their household effects.
During the weeks from the latter part
of May to the 1st Of July you will rarely
find any one during the night using an
artificial light Of any kind, for the nights
are almost as bright as day. If you choose
to stay up all night during the period Of
longest days, you can read the finest print
with ease at any time in the "a hours, and
you can make photographs If you SO wish
all the night long with capital results.
Up In Lapland as late as the 25th Of July

graphs at IL o'clock at night and at and

Southern Farm Magazine.

The contents OF the "Southern Farm
Magazine" for April are typical OF
the variety OF interests represented in
the agricultural development of the
South. Among the most practical
articles published is discussion by Col.
J. b. killebrew of the reasons why there
is delay in the development through
manufactures of the full possibilities of
the South, a question of vital interest to
Southern agriculturists, inasmuch as the
growth of industries means better
markets for the surplus products which
may result from an extension of the sys-
tenn of diversified farming. The depart
ments are as full and fresh as ever. The
editorials treat of timely topics, sug
gested by recent events. The literary
department contains live comment upon
manifestations in the world of author
ship.

A Gentleman.

1t is agreeableness that most marks
the gentleman, not agreeableness
alone in dress, department, language
or conduct, but all-round agreeable
ness. A gentleman is man who
practices all forms of unseltishness
most gracefully. A man may be very
good in some things yet very dis
agreeable withal, and disagreeable-
ness always has its cause in the sell
fishness that prevents a man from
trying to be agreeable. This leads to
the conclusion that whoever would
be gentleman must begin by being
unselfish.
