WEDNESDAY, JANUARY II, 1900.
wYMAN FOR JUDGE AGAIN.

With the people and attorneys OF this
circuit there seems to be but one sentl-
nlent, and that favorable to the re-elec-
tion of Judge o. b. Wyman to succeed
himself in this judicial circrit. With
these facts brought to his attention,
Judge Wyman will not we are sure,
decline reelection to the position.
That he has made an acceptable record
AS trial judge there is no gainsaying.
he has been true to his exacting trust,
industrious, candid and dignltied There
Ii probably no circuit in the state that
requires so many days work every year
as our own. lie has had to deal
with many new propositions arising
from important htlgation. All these
exacting requirements have been met
with courage and intelligent under
standing. Judge Wyman's robust con-
stitution and clear brain, coupled with
upright life and integrity, well qualify
him for continued usefulness on the
bench, where he will likely remain for
another term, at least, by the unanimous
suffrage of his fellows.
While there are numerous attorneys
in the circuit who have recognized abil-
ity in the legal profession and who are
eminently qualified to hold the position
of circuit judge, the duties of the office
have been SO faithfully and impartially
performed by Judge Wyman during the
past five years that attorneys and peo-
pie do not desire change.

CAMILLA.

Strike your guitar, fair Camilla, and sing sae
wild song you are dreaming.
Let the 1.-the fingers fly swift Ger its strinsA

Beaming with faraway faneies, Camilla, that
plead for expression.
Only thy vibrant guitar is attuned for the
sacred confession.
Now Camillas fair fingers are plucking in
rapture the pulsatng strings,
And her faraway eyes are intent on the scene
and the story she sings
Singing her song of Felipe, her hero intrepid
and true;
Singing his praise and recounting what deeds
for her love he would do.
See the wild race after cattle. the broncho' 3

Hear the hello of the herder Felipe, who

Hist, how the lariat sings as it flies DER the

See the wild plunge and the horse standing

Then, on the trail of Apaches, who leads the
long marches by nightP
Who but Felipe would dare to press on Ger the
mesa to fight
Who but Felipe sits firm in his saddle when
rifles ring out in the dark2
Coolly he levels his weapon. The bullet flies
true to its mark.
Such is the song sweet Camilla is singing with
gaze far away;
Such is the song, for she knows not how long
her Felipe will stay
Knows not that lone in the waste of the sage.

When we read that State Treasurer
Davidson, in his first year Of official life,
turned to the peoples use $24, 941.61,
accrued interest on the public funds, 1t
is not to be wondered at that there was,
in the past, such a scramble for that po-
sition-when it was considered legitl-
mate for the treasurer to pocket the
interest This phenomenal showing OF
interest received on state funds has been
accomplished by close fnanciering.
Every dollar available has been turned
to an earning capacity. No surplus
moneys have been kept in the treasury,
In fact, the business of the Office has
been managed with skill and for the
public interest. For the thorough bust
ness methods instituted in the peoples
big treasury they are largely indebted
to Assistant Treasurer Bergh, whose
practical banking experience and thor
oughness led to the correction of past
abuses and lax methods.

MATTER OF PRONUNCIATION
A Father Who Seeks to Enlighten His
Son ON a Small Point.


A Father who Seeks to Enlighten His
Son Small Point.
There is a certain man who by the
sweat of his BROWN summer time
earns his bread as government of1lcial,
with an Office i'll the big state, war and
navy building He also earns bread for
wife and three likely children and a
servant, who manages to carry slice of
pie along home with her bread about
three evenings in the week. But that is
the cook S privilege always.
This official has a son aged 10, who
is very nearly as sharp as tic father
thinks himself to be, especially in those
things that everybody orght to know
and not one person in dozen does know.
About three times 4 week the father
comes to the Office loaded with some
new information which he seeks to inn
part to his fellow clerks by the induct-
i've method--that is he induces them
TO show how little they know; then he
springs it ON them. His strong point is
words and their pronunciation, and he
thinks he is an authority.
The other evening while he was en-
tertainiug three or four of his Office
friends at small supper the eldest boy
spoke up from the far end of the table.
Say, pop, be inquired, "how do
you pronounce N-e-w-o-n-e?" spelling
it out slowly.
II presume, replied the father, with
the courage of his convictions, that it
is an Indian name, and by the rule !
would pronounce it Ne-wo-ny.
But that isn't che way" dissented
the boy.
The father was never more surprised
in his life.
Il don quite see how it would be
euphonious any other WY. he said.
with mild air of offended intelligence.
What's the matter with pronouncing
it new one2" inquired the boy, with a
loud, irreverent ha ha. And the blow

sit is curious, said veteran SOL
dier, chow some incident or circum-
stance may impart to long familiar
object to which we have never given
any special thought significance that
makes it always thereafter an object OF
particular interest. The East river fer
ryboats impress me in that way now
whenever / see one, and this was
brought about simply by seeing one Of
them out of it's accustomed waters amid
strange scenes and put to strange uses.
'This was in the fall of 1861, in
Hampton Roads. The regiment that I
served in was aboard transport there,
waiting with other troops afioat there
TO go farther south under convoy of
feet of war vessels. There was great
number of vessels there of all kinds,
steamers and sailing vessels and war
ships, and they made an impressive
show, but certainly the most striking of
any one Of them ON its first appearance
was an East river ferTyboat, the Com
modore Perry. | can see her at this min
ute as she looked then, moving across
the waters of the Roads; she looked SO
utterly strange and curious there and
amid such surroundings But she went
here and there with the most perfect
confidence, constantly employed i'll
transporting stores and troops and
making herself quite as much at home
there as she ever had been among the
currents and eddies of the narrow East
river.
'Other ferryboats were taken down
there A soldier friend of mine tells
me that later, IN the peninsular cam
paign, there was New York ferryboat
in those waters that was used as gun
boat, carrying two parrot guns, one at
each end, mounted in the gangways,

own impression Is that one or two of
these boats went around Hatteras, into
waters farther south; but, however that
