There is no doubt but what Hon.

County Examiner G. E. Lyle. of
Altheimer, will be two of the com
missioners sappointed for Jefferson

recommended by the Jefferson coun-

State board for appointment. and it
is said that those recommended by
any official Democratic body from a
county will be appointed.
1t is rumored here today that a
certain number Of politicians from
this county are laboring for the ap-
poin tment OF two other gentlemen
instead of Messrs. W, H. Langford
and g. E Lyle. A number Of JEFF

CENSUS WILL FALL SHORT.
Pine Bluff People Cannot Afford to
Witness It.

It is of the greatest Importance to
Pine Bluff, Jefferson county and the
people thereof, that the recent CEN
sus taken in this county, is PERFECTLY
correct in every detail and that we
are credited with our fall quota.
Complaints have reached this office
recently that large number OF peo-
pie and their ia miles In this county
were unintentionallv overlooked by
the enumerators during their rounds
and asa result, when the reports
are made, Pine Bluffs growing pop
ulation will fall way behind expee-
tations in number. Our people can
not afford to have such IL thing oc-
cur. 1t will be q bad ad for the
town and for the people and should
not be allowed to go unnotieed.
There is no doubt but what the
ennmerators missed some people In
their rounds, 1t matters not how
very careful they were in their work.
Mistakes will happen, but bhe, com
| plants that have been made at the
Graphic office for the past two,
weeks indicate several hundred peg-
sons were missed.
In order to see that Pine Bluff is
given her Just deserts, the Graphic
requests all persons, who think they
were missed by the pBumerator or
l.
To please drop Us postal giving
the particulars, and we will person.
ally see to 1t that their names are
properly placed ia the census report.
Do not delay this matter. 1t is OF
greater Importance than you may
think and deserves your Immediate
attention.

there was Il strike in progress among
certain of It's employees. Instructions

would be before this time. It is my
earnest wish to be relieved of the

medicine in our family ior twenty
years and have always found it re-
lable. In II any cases dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffer
ing while a physician is awaited. We
do not believe in depending implicitly
on any medicine for cure, but we
do believe that if bottle of Cham

kept on hand and administered at
the inception of an attack much SUI

clan would not be required. At least

A pathetic incident occurred aboard an
inbound West Point train the other day.
A woman and beautiful girl, evidently
her daughter, entered a car and found
seats facing an elderly man. The girl was
directly opposite the man. He looked
straight in front of him, and his gaze
rested on her. She was evidently discom-
flied by what appeared close scrutiny.
and her neither at last became angry and
commented on "the impudence of some
people" Still the passenger looked. Thor
oughly exasperated, the woman arose
from her scat and on passing into the
aisle struck the object of her rage across
the lace with glove. The man paled,
raised his hat and said: Madam, beg
your pardon if | have offended you. II
did not mean to. l am blind"
The woman was so mortified that she
forgot to make an apology. and, followed
by her daughter, passed down the aisle
to another seat.-PittSburg Chronicley

A QUEER TRADE.
Remarkable Skill Displayed by Pro-
fessionaI Bee Truckers.

nemarkaDAC skill Displnyeu ny tFU-
fessIonal Bee Truckers.
"Talk about your queer trades" said
a man from Texas, what do you think
of bee tracking as a means Of making
living? I know several professional bee
crackers who have never done anything
else in their lives, and their skill is some
thing almost incredible What is the
work like, did you ask? Well, I'll ex-
plain. Down in Bee county, in my state,
where some of the greatest apiaries in
the world are located. all honey Is graded
and marked according to the bloom from
which it was obtained. For example, you
may have your choice of cotton blossom,
wild clover, horse mint and several other
brands, each distinct in flavor. This
seems very mysterious to stranger, be-
cause the bees range wild over miles Of
countryside. But it was discovered long
ago that the colony from each hive or
cluster Of hives always draw their sweets
from some one particular flower and reli-
giously shun the others. At the begin
ming Of the honey making season the pro-
prietor Of bee farm wants to know, of
course, how much of each flavor he is
going to have, as a basis of calculations.
So he sets the tracker to work.
'"The tracker, who Is always native
Mexican, mounts his tough little bron-
cho, rides over to n row of hives, waits
until big, healthy looking bee emerges.
and when 1t flies away on its daily quest
he gallops along in its wake. Often the
feeding ground is miles distant, and the
bee takes anything but Decline. On the
contrary, II makes long detours. frisks
and frolics through gardens, loafs In
shady groves and has good time Gener-
ally. But it Is the rarest thing In the
world for it to shake off its shadow
How the Mexican manages to keep 1t in
sight and to distinguish it from other
bees it meets en- route l have never been
able to understand. The business seems
actually to develop special faculty.
When the bee finally reaches its destina-
ton, the tracker makes a mental note
Of the variety OF flower and then returns
home. Next day he verifes his observa-
ton by following another honey gatherer
and then labels the hive and proceeds to
the next one. When his task is done,
the apiary man knows exactly what he
can depend on in the several f1avors. The
crackers are well paid; enough to let
them loaf between seasons. New Or

away as much as we could with the an
noyance that usually attends wedding
couples. But the lady said that she was
proud Of being bride and that she want
ed to hear the comments that the people
would make. With this end in view she
hit upon the crazy notion of playing dear
and dumb and going through lot OF
monkey shines with our fingers to carry
out the scheme. She reasoned that this
would cause people to talk in our pres
ence. and thus we would be able to hear
what they said.
st opposed the idiotic idea from the
start, but what said cut no figure. and
1 had to consent to the plan. Our first
chance to try the scheme occurred in

MEN BEFORE THE CAMERA.
Photographer Says They Are Nor
Fussy Than Women.

Photographer Says They Are More
Pussy Than Women.
(which sex is the most fussy when
having a photograph taken?" was asked
of a prominent photographer. The man
smiled as he replied, without O moments
hesitation: THE male. When a man
comes in here to be photographed, all of
us instantly begin to look out for squalls.
We will pose him correctly and are just
about to snap the shutter when he sud-
denly remembers that his hair has be-
come rumpled by his hat and insists on
brushing 1t, in spite of our frantic protes-
tations that 1t looks all right. Then,
when we have fixed him in the correct
position again he will decide that it is not
exactly what he wants and proceeds
Herewith to arrange himself to his own
satisfaction, with the inevitable conse-
quence of bad focusing, which he invaria-
bly, blames on US when the picture Is
shown him.
Ladies. as a general rule, take 1t for
granted that we know more about 1t
than they do, and the pictures are gen.
orally more successful. The happy fani-
ly which comes in to be photographed to-
gether and which often includes two or
three squalling brats gives us endless
trouble.
Then there is the omnipresent ath-
lete who wants his biceps to look three
times their natural size and who swells
out his chest and contracts his muscles
until his face looks like he was undergo
ing horrible attack of cramp collie. A
covert suggestion to him to try to look
natural often brings frown Of con-
tempt, as much as to say his unnatural
and strained looking appearance is per-
fectly normal. Perhaps the easiest class
of customers to get along with are the
glee clubs, baseball and football teams
who are to be photographed In a group.
They are generally easy to arrange, and
the photographs Of them turn out better
than any we take. But in spite Of the
jeers of man at the gentler sex for the
number of hours they take to dress, il
you could only see that same man in the
throes of being photographed you would
understand the sublime ilapnsieeeny Of
amman nature % you never bsye before"
