When the Republicans were about
to nominate somebody to run for gov
ernor in 1SAl, there were candidates in
all parts Of the woods The day of the
convention, however, "Uncle Dick"
went down and, without having present
any scmblance Of candidacy other than
his own personality, he was nominated
by acclamation.
His brother law, David r. Littler,
was candidate for state treasurer.
He had been to some pains to make his
candidacy an organized feature of the
days preceding the convention. When
Ogleshy was named for governor, Lit
tier was put out of the calculations by
reason of coming from the next county
and was side tracked in consequence.
Although Mrs Oglesby and Mrs. Lit
tier were sisters, the houses of Oglesby
and Littler were far apart from that
time The heads were so completely
estrangcd that one did not speak to the
other For ten years they remained
strangers
Littler lived in a great old fashioned
mansion in Springfield. Oglesty lived
on his farm near Elkhart. One day, to
the surprise of the Littler family ex-
Governor Og,esby walked in.
"How are you, DaveH" said the ex.
governor
Glow are you, governor ?" said Lit
tier, as he struggled against his aston
ishment. Then the extended hand of
the unexpected visitor was cordially
grasped

"Well, I'm glad of it," answered
Littler ns he took the hat and coat of
his caller.

A fusionst exchange, after giving the

The Fate of Admiral BynE.

Admiral John Byng was the fourth
son Of the Earl of Torrington and serv-
ed In the British navy, rising to be
admiral of the red in 1T4S, when he
was A years old. In 1856 he was sent
with n badly equipped fleet to relieve
Minorca, threatened by the French.
He reached Minorca after the French
had got there. His second in COM
mand, Rear Admiral West, drove them
back, while Byng kept his ships out of
action. In n day or two he sailed to
Gibraltar, leaving Minorca to it's fate.
He was tried for treachery and cow
ardice, but acquitted. The court mar
tial convicted him of not having done
his best to relieve the island, and un-
der the application of article II Of the
British naval code of those days he
was condemned to be shot The min
listers took him as scapegoat, and he
was shot Oh the quarter deck of his
own flagship, the Monarque, in Ports
mouth harbor on March IA, 1857.

Probably the best fire extinguishing

taneous combustion, in n pile contain

Editor Foster of tho Plainview News
is probably sincere In his reiteration
that there is no prosperity. He appar-
emily insists on looking on the dark side
of the picture and, if there is no dark
side, making one. His imagination
magnifes bank or business failure n
thousand times and he secs nothing but
gloom, desperation and calamity in the
papers. The statement that business
failures were fewer in ls99sthan for
90 years past cannot enter his thoughts
The manner in which bank deposits,
owned largely by the farmers, have in
creased is not comprehended by him
the fact that even at this time ofI.syear
laborers can find work and earn wages,
when n few years ago they had little
work summer or winter, cannot disperse
the clouds under which he is cropping
for calamity straws. In the same paper
through which he denies prosperity he
tells of n transfer of property in which a
consideration of So 900 is involved lie

seemingly anything to indicate calamity

his readers of the truth Of his assertion.
1t would seem that it would require "a

ANCIENT ARITHMETIC.
Examples That Were Used In Egypi
5000 Years Ago.

Probably the oldest copy book for
home lessons in arithmetic was recent
ly unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus,
which was found in excellent condi-
ton, dates from the period about 100
B. C.--,that is, about 100 years before
the time of Moses, or almost 5000
years ago. 1t proves that the Egyp-
tians had thorough knowledge of
elementary mathematics almost TO the
extent of our own. The papyrus has
a long heading. direction how to at

their principal operations with entire
units and fractions were made by
means of addition and multiplication.

THE PAGES DIFFICULTY.
He Told His TroublcS Right Out at
the Wedding.

A good story comes from Atlanta,
but the incident happened several sea-
sons ago. The occasion was Il swell
church wedding. The cdilicc had been
glorously decorated. The bride, sur
rounded by company of pages, flow
er girls and maids Of honor, was slow
ly passing down the aisle. while the
prospective bridegroom and his best
man and the officiating clergyman
were taking their places. The church
organ was pealing forth the sounds as
of joyous wedding bells. Fashionable
people dressed for the occasion occu-
pied the seats of the handsome church
1t so happened that one of the pages
had in the rush of business prepara-
tory to dressing for the occasion been
turned over 10 the care of n nurse. AS
he proceeded down the main aisle OF
the church in company with the other
youngsters, who in white satin suits
were doing the honors of each rcspec-
tive household. he suddenly espied his
mother seated in one of the pews
At this point the organist began
playing softly as the wedding party
passed to the altar, Then, above the
gentle strains of music clear as bird
could be heard the voice OF the afore-
said small boy.
Mamma" he shrilly cried, nurse
put on my panties wrong side before,
and can't hardly walk"
