"A New History of the United States in a
Series of Original Biographies is announced by
Doubleday, Page & Co. The announcement con-
tains this interesting paragraph: The method
Of making engagements with authors is net
mechanically TO select subjects and to ask writ
ers TO take them up, but to ask writer's what
particular subject each is already Interested in
and has made a special study of and wishes TO
write about The publishers plan is not to as
sign subjects, for by such a method many a
series of wooden books has been made but 10
avail themselves of plans that capable writer's
have themselves already formed and of aubi-
tions that they have nurtured. IN this way il is
hoped to procure group of volumes that have
not the faults of books made to order" Are We
to understand that the publishers have started
a competition among authors for orders to write
the biographies? If they have their doors are
likely to be besieged with applicants, made more
eager by the final paragraph in the circular
which says: The most liberal terms consistent
with successful and dignified publishing will be
offered o writer's

Mr.. Herbert Spencer has been much con-
cerned over the appearance of the biographical
study prepared with his sanction by Hector Mac
pherson, and originally announced for publica- =
ton as Herbert Spencer's Life and Works -
He is afraid that it will be regarded as a com
pete biography to the preparation of which he
has for many years been opposed. SO the title
has been changed to Spencer and Spencerism -
and the author, at Mr.. Spencer's request has
made some slight alterations in the text The
publishers will have the book ready for publi-
cation next week

"GET TOGETHER. !"
A Strong Plea For Harmony
From Hon. Charles w.
Baker.
(Copyrightedo

In response to your communication of
recent date permit me briefly to say:
The Democratic party never had in
my judgment, a better chance to win
than in the coming presidential elec-
tion. Blundering alone can prevent 1t.
We would have elected Mr.. Bryan pres
ident four years ago If the Democratic
party had been united, as 1t should
have been. and as could have been,
If only little patient forbearance had
been exercised.
The Democratic party is not great
drilled machine that blindly follows
a few leaders and few rich men, whose
leadership springs from patronage and
making money out of government poll
cies, and the ability to use and manipu-
late these. Democrats usually do their
own thinking and are not chary about
expressing their opinions and indulging
in full and free and sometimes acrimon-
ious debates. The result Is that diff
ferences appear sometimes to be radi-
cal, when they are not so in any sense,
and are easily healed and adjusted. i.
This year there Is a disposition among
all Democrats of all shades of opinion
to get together. This needs only to be
accomplished and 1t will add fourth
to the total vote to be cast for the
Democratic candidate for president. 1t
In high time that party patriotism
came to be recognized and believed
in and taught. Every living Democrat
knows that none Of the principles he
believes in and contends for will ever
be adopted or practiced by the Republi-
can politicians who are running this
government. These last do not believe
in public economy, in equal rights, in
the rule Of the people. in a government
for the many. They believe in every
thing that Is contrary to these cardinal
principles of Democracy
They believe that the government is
the private perquisite Of few gentle
men who are politically influential and
privately rich. The man who has the
most to say with them about the ad-
ministration Of the government is not
the farmer or the mechanic or the poor
man or the lahorer but the rich man
the trust maker who will contribute
the most money to Ihe Republican
campaign fund. What he wants is at
tended to. What anybody else wants
IL put aside and never taken up or
granted or acted upon unless 1t can
be made to appear that such action
will benefit the aforesaid politicians
and air TO keep them In power. They
DO not care q rap about Patrick Henry,
or the Declaration or Independence OF
KashinGton's farewell address. or the
0nn6ti<utiou of tbe United States. OF

WAS MARRIED IN TOLEDO
Woman Who Was at One Time Well
Known in the City of Canton.
DIVORCED FROM HER HUSBAND.
She Was Frequently Seen In the Company
of Her Late Liege Lords Barten-
der-what a Toledo Paper
Says of the
Union.

Gertrude Halle is once more a wife.
She was formerly the wife of James
Halle, well known in this city, but she
seemed to care more for the bartender,
one Milton Frank, than for her lawful
husband, and divorce arrangements
were made. Jim Halle did the square
thing by his former wife and gave her
half of his possessions, which were not
an inconsiderable amount. He needn't
have given her as much as he did, but
he insisted upon an equal division, and
with the property, quite a large sum
of money and several diamonds, the
erstwhile Mrs. Halle started away.
Milton Frank went also. Word came
that they had been seen in Toledo to-
gether, and that they We're very chum-
my for while. 1t is related that he
tired of her when her money and dia-
monds gave out. A gentleman recently
stated that they were quarreling on the
streets of Toledo, in front of a place
where she had room. She showed him
a small diamond that she had left and
taunted him with the fact that he had
not quite got through with all she had.
Frank just laughed and walked away.
1t was said at the time that the former
Mrs. Halle had renewed acquaintance
ship with an old flame, but who he was
was not known. The former husband,
James Halle, is conducting one of the
finest restaurants in Youngstown and
the world is said to be using him well.
Word now comes of the marriage of
Gertrude Halle. The Toledo Evening
News has the following concerning
the matter:
A romantic and youthful attachment
happily eliminated on Saturday even
ing, when Judge Templeton pronounc-
ed the magic words which bound in
matrimonial union Charles ]. Byrne and
Gertrude Halle. Mr.. Byrne is in busi-
ness at Washington and Ontario SITS.
In the halcyon days OF youth the two
were dear friends" but the vicissi-
tudes of time separated them. Later
each took a matrimonial partner from
whom they We're separated by death
and divorce. Meeting short time ago,
the VOWS which were spoken in the
springtime of their lives, were renewed,
and now they are engaged to jog down
the declining days in happy union.

ON HIS EIGaTuErH BIRTHDAY.
(By A, McGregor,)

At a recent meeting of the Stark coun-
ty horticultural society Mr.. A. Nc.
Gregor read the following poem with
reference to the completion Of his eight
teth year:
Today I score my four score years,
And enter on my ninth decade;
Not bothering with foolish fears
Anent the change must soon be made,
Confding in the Supreme Power
In mortal as In natal hour.
Life's not a gift to throw away,
Or to wrongful purpose give;
Rather gem of precious ray,
To care for, and whereby to live.
Believing this life gift prize
We should enjoy and utilize!
Uncertain is our time indeed;
The young may die, as do the old;
However we may watch and heed,
The risks we run cannot be told.
Dwell not then on tomorrow's case,
But let each day see to it's place.
Keep thought then on proper plane,
Above unworthy sordid view;
And 30 divine commands maintain,
And daily thus our faith renew!
Improving on the wings Of time,
BY aiming for Gods true sublime.
We're apt to follow doubtful ways.
Thinking good we'll get thereby;
<Aho thoo, Shou6h SuhCIlH6 I'LL OuT udySs
We will not errors path descry;-
And SO on dangers route we go,
Regardless Of resulting woe.
Were all to follow Truth and Right,
Let narrow self give way to love,
'Twould Danish mammon's rule and
might
And make this world like that above.
For this condition let us pray,
And labor for 1t as we may.
While error seizes mortal mind,
And guides US into devious ways,
Which bring Affections on mankind,
And cut US off from length Of days.
We should remember errors path
Is filled with perils and with wrath.
The providence of God DEGREES,
We reap just ever as we sow;
The sequence we can ne er forego!
Then do not evil to obtain
The good we thus can never gain!
The genial poet who declared
He was but eighty odd years young
Gave evidence he richly shared
The joys and hopes his life had brung!
So let us look on the bright side,
And gild the way with truth as guide
Should tickle fortune frown or smile,
Or fail to favor with a glance,
What matter? Keep up heart the while,
Nor think 1t Is sad mischance!
For often fortunes so called miss
Is really but a step to bliss!
Why should the future give us dread?
We have come safely through the past
And the same Power when we are dead
Will be our shepherd to the last.
Goodness and mercy still will be
The rule in Gods divine decree.
Safe in the ha nds of the great Power,
That all acknowledge soon or late,
Serenely we may wait the hour
Which takes us from this mortal
state!
Well satisfied that at the close
Wen pass to Gods own sweet repose
