THE NOMINEES.

W. E. Founders, the DEM
ocratic nominee for repre-.
sentative, is one Of the coun-
tvs best and ablest yourg
men. He is now IN his 25th
year, and is sober and indus.
trious. He received an ex-

ents and make Sharp county
a good representative along
all lines.

SCISSOR, defeating two popu-
lar candidates. Joe is a

e. L. Dickerson of Evening
Shade, who received a very

THE SAMPLE FlEND.

1t Takes Lots of Material to supply
the SAMPLERS Demands.
Coming suddenly upon salesman in
q retail store who had number OF
yard long lengths of new piques liber-
ally sprinkled with those little price
tags (the pins all stuck through the
several thicknesses and bent DOWN,
one understood all at once the full Inn
port of the demands of the sample
fiend. Marked off evenly like check
erboard, with II price tags lengthwise
and seven to the width. which made
119 to the yard. the salesman was 60
ing over the lot with pencil, setting
down the width and price on each.
At one store the one who is at the
head of each stock attends to the pre-
pairing of the samples of his particular
stock Thus the pique samples would
be cut by one, samples of swiss by an
other, of organdie by another. and so
on. In the silk department one mai.
who is kept for the purpose, does 1T all.
And 1t takes all his time.
For people from distance who do
their buying by mail this is of course a
very good method. But the part to
which all sane people take exception
is the senseless sampling of those who
wander aimlessly about. evidently
gathering samples as a thoughtless
child sometimes pulls twigs in passing
bushes. The worst of it is we have to
pay for this senseless woman's foolish
ness, 1t being often observable that the
biggest samplers are the smallest buy
ers. One clerk says that he has actual
ly seen thrown upon the sidewalk the
samples given to woman after show
ing her his whole stock. her purchase
being ostensibly postponed because of
her fear that the goods will not match
something or other.
The time is past when these scraps
went to feed the insatiate crazy quilt
fends.-Philadelphia Record.

Gossip ON Board ship.

There Is one place where gossip

club in executive session." said trav-
cling man who comes across the sea to
sell goods made In France, "and that
is on board ship. There is nothing to
do but gossip. Before the ship is out
three hours the passenger list has been
divided into castles. One caste will
have nothing to do with people In an
other caste. There is no such thing as
getting from one set into another un-

stories to one another and look wise

one has crossed SO many times that he
rebels at these innocent amusements,
then the only thing possible for diver

lock yourself in your stateroom. An

earth-that is, on water. Exchange.

Nature has just one pigment on her pal
lette with which she produces all the mar
velous tints of beauty, and that one pig
ment is the blood, The shell-like pink

lips, the irridescent brillance of the eyes
are all produced by the blood just as
the permanence of beautiful painting will
depend upon the purity of the colors with

Medical Discovery is true beautifier, be-

FIRST WIG IN HISTORY.
1t Was Worn by the Daughter OF
Saul. King of Israel.

1t Was Worn by the Daughter of
Saul, King of Israel.
The first wig mentioned In history
was made of goats skin and worn by
the daughter of Saul, king of Israel.
The first artistic wigs were made IN
the south of Italy for the Gapiniens,
who lived In Apulia and were known
for the luxuries of their toilet. These
people were, they say, the first who
painted their faces. This they did with
the juice of strawberries.
The Persians wore wigs. Xenophon
relates that little Cyrus, when he visit

eyes were framed in blue paint and
who wore an enormous wig, threw
himself on his knees and cried, "Oh,
mother, what a beautiful grandfather

wounded In Battle.

An army loses far more of its strength
through It's wounded than through its
killed. In the first place there are four
or five wounded to one killed. and in
the second place the dead men give no
trouble, while the wounded require an
immense number of noncombatants to
attend to them. A great many of the
wounded return again to duty. their
wounds being comparatively slight,
but as rule more than half of them
