1t is noticeable that the Demo
cratic journals have a heap to say
about Republicans and mighty little
about Democrats. The fact must be
that there are no Democrats doing
anything to make reputation or to
obtain prominence, and of course
Democrats are not expected to be
pleased with what Republicans do.
Growl is the watchword of Democrats
and they are more successful at that
than at anything else. ..s

The difficulty of successfully con-
cealing crime is shown in the fact
that the water mark of the paper on
which the will of New York man
was written proved the document a
forgery. Experts proved that the
paper was not manufactured until
nine years after the testatOr's death.

from school a day or two, and a lesson
or two in each of his studies are pass

class cannot wait for the delinquent
pupil.
A compulsory school law might rem
edy this to some extent, although it is
q question whether such law would
meet with favor. The plan of consol-
idating several sub-districts into one
centrally located is being discussed in
various localities, the plan being to
have the children carried to and from
school by some one hired for that spe-
cial purpose. A less number of teach
ers would be required, and only those
best qualified would be employed.

few places. In northeastern Ohio

ourselves along down to the grave,
regardless of health, and not even take
the time to enjoy the pleasures of
this life that each season brings forth
for mans comfort. Many a good
farmer and good wife are SO over
worked that when they reach the age
of fifty years and should be in the
prime Of life, both mentally and ply.
sically, they are wrecks, grasping at
every straw, as it were; that will
bring to them one ray Of hope in way
of restoring lost health. Their money
is then spent freely, but all to no
use.s Money has lost its charm, and
they are willing to part with all for
health. But alas too late. I would
say then in conclusion: use what, you
can we'll afford and enjoy life. Live
within your means, pay as you 60, and
from the surplus you may lay aside
from year to year. Spend a portion
Of it in travel or in some pleasant
way, as one who possesses good sense.
This kind of economy is one of the
noblest and has tendency to break
the monotony Of constant employ
ment at any one thing, no matter
what the labor may be.

was discussed as follows by Thomas

Thomas Wilson's Paper.
What class of horses will sell for
the most money and find most ready
sale?
In answering this question it will
be we'll to remember that there is al
ways plenty of room at the top. This
will hold good in horse breeding as
in anything else. In order, therefore.
to command the best prices, SO far
as our conditions will permit us, we
must raise the best selling class and
in that class the best quality. Are

1t is a well-known law in breeding
that like begets like. or the likeness
of some immediate ancestor. Remem-
Der that and profit by it. This makes
pedigree invaluable to the breeder.
If, therefore, pedigree is strong in
spavins you will be reasonably sure of
reaping q crop of spavins; il rich in
high. stylish action, you will get ac-
ton. 1t intensifies the weak points
just as surely as the strong ones, and
you will. find it easier going down
than up. 1t follows, therefore, that to
have grand individual is good, but
to have his ancestors strong in that
individuality is far better.
just word in conclusion as to pre-
pairing for market and selling. To get
the best price you must be horseman
enough to know the value of what you
haye-the weak points and strong
ones. Have as few middlemen in the
operation as possible, and above all
things have your animal just right.
Teach him how to show himself to the
best advantage in all places, and
keep him SO that he wants to show at
all times. He must be perfectly bro
ken and fit for the parties who will fin
ally use him, and if not he is made so
and you pay the bill.
Summary: If you don'tlike horses,
don't raise them. If you do, select
your class and your ideal. Let your
motto be onward and upward, remem-
bering always that eternal vigilance
is the price of success. By SO doing
you will make for yourselves and your
county n name and reputation, and
the fame of Delaware county horses
and Delaware county butter will
spread abroad throughout all the land.
