An effort has been made to get up dis
satisfaction among Republicans towards
the local ticket throughout the county
by circulating stories that the call Wi
m ended to shut Republicans out. tn g
was started by the Hillsboro Gazette for
political purposes and taken up by a
few persons who have supported the
Democrats for the past two years, and
who are now controlled by the Demo
Gratis and do their bidding. No Repub
lican will be duped by the story. The
call is the same in substance az was use d
fr years and years. It was taken from
old forms about which no question was
ever made. The leaders of the fight
against the ticket are being met with a
warm reception. They are the same
people who spread falsehoods among a
number of Republicans last fall. These
Republicans have found out better and
win not be lied to again. In the town.
ship primary in Hillsboro but two per.
sons were challenged, which is a suffiA
cient answer to the charge that Repub.
licans were being disfranchised. Re-
publicans attend the corporation primar-
les as you did the township. Have your
say there and select another good ticket.

 We must beware, however, of giving a one-sided development by confining ourselves too much to one branch of literature; we must include in our repertory some well-selected myths, fairy stories which are pure and spirit uali in tone, and fable now and then. Nature stories, hero tales, animal anec- dotes, occasional narratives about good, wholesome children, neither prigs nor infant villains, plenty of fine poetry, as has been said, and, for the older ones of the family, legends, ale gories and historic happenings.

STORIES FOR CHILDREN.
There Should Re Variety, But the old FavOrites Bear Frequent
 Repetition.

When one speaks of telling stories to the little people, prose narratives seem to be commonly understood, and as commonly used, but there is no mistake greater than to suppose that children are not susceptible to the charms of poetry.
 They care more for poetry, on the contrary, than the majority of grown people, whether for the melody, the rhythm, the rhymes, the short lines, the simplicity and picturesqueness of expression, or for all these reasons to- gether, which makes it thing pleas antly different from common speech. Goethe advised that every child should see pretty picture and hear beauti- ful poem every day, and if we would

CITY BOYS GOOD SOLDIERS.
An old Citizen Says Restaurant Fare and Street Car Travel Fit Them
 for ROughing It.

'It takes country boys to make sol diers," said the gFizzled cid man who' had scraped his feet on the bricks out side the lunchroom with great care be- fore he entered. "It takes boys that's been used to work as long as the sunll shine, and we'll into the night if the moon happens to be full"
 I've heard that" remarked the man who was neat in dress and nervous of manner. But have my doubts"
 "It's true. Look at the discipline Q country boy gets. He's out in all sorts of weather and he gets his muscles as hard as iron. He has endurance"
 "Yes. He builds up splendid consti- tuition. But he has no means of insur- ing himself against the perils which surround an army"
 That's the point was just trying to make. He puts fresh air into his lungs and good plain food into his stomach and makes himself set of muscles that pay no more attention to a heavy load than the hy-wheel of an engine pays to a speck of dust on its rim
 The country boy is good am
 I'll admit. But he hasn't had aEy tice in digesting things that call on a mans stomach 10 stand up and do it4 duty with all its might.
 "He doesn't rush away from his work and drink pint of coffee and swallow Q chunk of any kind of pie that happens to be left every day at noon. lie doesn't ride on the back of street ear, with snow water dripping down inside his coat collar, nor stay up half the night going to theaters and parties.
 He doesn't eat ice-cream and drink strong coffee at midnight, and then start in for days work the next morn ing as if nothing had happened. Your boy may beat ours for naturalstrength, but tell you we've got the seasoning"
 And the other said he guessed that talking the matter over and averaging things up would explain why they were pretty much to be depended on, no mat ter where they came from.-N. Y. Jour nal.

WOMEN LIKE coppERs.
Not the Police, But the Indispensable Little Red one-Cent
 Pieces.

Every man in the east swears at conductor or ticket seller when one of those officials unloads on him a lot of one-cent coins-pennies, as they are miscalled. Women seem to like them, probably because their bulk makes them seem like a lot of money. A wom- an makes quite a financial transaction of it when she pays her toll for trans portation. Watch her block line of hurried business men at the ticket of- fee of the elevated roads. Note how she fishes around in her fat wallet for the little coppers, jobbing dry goods sam ples, cooking recipes and similar port able bric-a-brac into her moutltto clear the bank.
 One by one she'll drag them out, and finally scatter them over the little shelf at the window. She always saves the coppers for that purpose, and the ticketmen and conductors are painful ly aware of that fact. They never fail to geteven when making change to woman. Lots of women keep what they call penny banks. These come in handy for papa occasionally just before pay day.
 h the west aud southwest onecent pieces are extremely scarce In many reefoEs thes- are not to be found in cir cuia DO at -.- excs pt in the post offices. Tltc minimum prise oa saesH eommodi- ties is five cents and the nickel IS the smallest coin known But in spite of hat fact, there are more than i billion Of the little copPers in use in this coun- try constantly. They disappear rap idig however and the mint in philadei- phla IS kept busy turning out 100000 a month to keep up the supply.
 The coin is not worth its face value intrinsically. but nobody appears to worry about that. The government makes good profit on it. It contains 95 per cent. of copper and stiffening alloy of five per cent. of tin and zinc.- N. Y. Press.

DEATH OF A. P. PETERSON.


BY the death of A. P. Peterson OF.
tumwa loses substantial business man
and public-spirited citizen. For many
years Mr.. Peterson has been identified
with the business interests of the city
and has been among those who have
been foremost in promoting the nun.
icipal welfare. AS successful mer.
chant of long standing, and the direct
or of one Of the city's best known
banks, Mr.. Peterson has made many
friends in the business world and was
universally respected and admired. He
was leading member of Trinity Epis-
copal church, was prominent in its
councils, and was liberal in. his support
of the parish. He had also served with
marked ability several years in the city
council as alderman from the Second
ward.
Mr.. Peterson was born in Sweden, and
came to this country . poor young
miu. His success in lifeSis an excellent
example OF what Swedish thrift and
industry, when energetically applied in
this country OF great opportunity, can
do. II. can be truly said that A. p.
Peterson was a fine specimen Of the
Swedish-American citizens.

posTpoNING THE CRISIS.

h
Both England and the Transvaal
have been sparring for time in the re-
cent so-called crisis, and both of them,
apparently, are proiting by the. delay.
It may be fairly said, however, that
most Of the advantages in a postpone
|,ment of the critical moment lies with
England. Shrewd as Dom Paul is, it is
probable that in this affair he has been
almost too shrewd; he has lost sight of
the fact that while England would not
|.haye dared to gos to war with him a
month ago, she is rapidly getting into
a position where she will from the start,
have the upper hand in a conflict.
There are many thousands OF British
troops on the way to the Transvaal
region just now, and many more are
getting ready tolstart. Manifestly Eng
lands position in South Africa will be
immensely stronger when these troops
arrive at their destination than it is
now. The chances for the Beers to
make a dash into British territory will
end, when all the regiments of red
coated regulars, now on their way to
that country, have occupied the from
tier. Should war, take place, defeat,for
the Beers is certain in any event, but
their opportunity for winning the
first victories is infinitely better now
than it will be two or three weeks
hence. This is where England gains
her advantage from. the waiting policy
