Late that afternoon Pedro, minus his
derby hat. his clothes soiled and an express
sion of disgust and indignation written on
his dusky face. appeared on the scene. 1t
took the combined knowledge of the whole
troop to understand what he had to say, be-
cause he talked in Spanish. Pedro had de-
cided to extend his business beyond the
south lines. With that object in view he
had applied at headquarters in Manila for a
general pass through the lines. The clerk
who issues these passes, being versed in
Spanish, had no trouble in getting Pedro's
surname and filled in the pass accordingly.
Pedro had some friends who lived beyond
the south lines, and he decided to take
holiday and visit them Having two passes
he was assured that he could go unmolest-
ed by the sentries. Guarding this line was
a regiment that had recently arrived from
America, whose efficiency In catching SNUG
glers was the pride of the officers connect
ed with that organization.
Pedro boldly presented the general pass
and was promptly passed through the lines.
When Pedro returned late that afternoon
his step was unsteady. Under his belt he
carried a large-sized 'beno' Jag. When he
approached the outpost he was at peace
with himself and the world, and was loudly
singing Viva Americanon Viva Aguinal-

scented his harrack pass by mistake. The

From the Lancaster. Ky, Record.
Herbert Kinnaird, one of the cleverest
young fellows in town, Is chief cook and
bottle washer in J. A. Beazley's furniture
store. He is a first-class clerk, but there
are many tricks Of the trade he has yet
to learn. On Saturday Mr.. Beazley re-
ceived dozen wire mattresses. which were
mashed down to a thickness of about
eighteen inches and tied with rope. Not
knowing Of the great force OF the springs,
Herbert got upon the bundle on his hands
and knees ard began cutting the ropes
All went well until the knife severed the
last rope, when Herbert quickly left the
earth and started on a sudden journey to
what he supposed was the better land
After reaching a height of ten or twelve
feet his course changed, and the downward
flight was begun In the latter he cut q

chairs sitting on the sidewalk. and finally
reached terra f1rma bearing some dozen
cuts and scratches. The mattresses, when
released, few in all directions, and It Is
said one landed on the court house portico.
Herbert says he thinks this is the final de,
gree in the trade.

Just as we are going to press we
learn that the report is being circulat-
ed in the county among the voters
that Judge Blanchard is an Intidel.
People are told that they ought not to
vote for him because he is not a
Christian. We can scarcely believe
the report, and sincerely hope it is
untrue. He bears the stamp of a
Christian life in his face. No one can
come in contact with him in business
or social relations and not be inn
pressed with the nobility of his char
acter. If he isn't a Christian there
are none. Judge Blanchard has lived
IN this county for years and people
know him thoroughly, and a report of
this kind will be political boomer
ang to the party using it.
There is not time now to verify it
but it if is mistake, the volumes of
the Graphic are open next week for a
denial OF it. A more sincere uoright
Christian does not live on the face of
the earth than F. G.. Blanchard. He
is the type of Christian who ires his
christianity, whose religion is matter
OF deeds as well as words.

that. l have worked long aud hard
to get them cattle. It has taken manv

OF that corn. And the good Lord sent

He then brought the house down by
saying if any money was put in he IA
vOred making it enough to build the
ships so that they might be owned and
operated by and for the benefit of the
people.
He pledged himself to look after the
interest of his constituents first. That
If he was elected it would not be a
democratic but fusion victory and
all the people of all parties entitled to
recognition.
That he would do everything in his
power to secure the election of the
president and U. s. senators by direct
vote of the people; everything in his
power to secure the Initiative and Ref
erdum, which would enable the people
to control trusts by placing the power
in their hands instead of in congress.
He paid great tribute to the peo-
pies party as having been the means
of regenerating the democratic party.
He closed by urging his hearers to
keep alive the democracy of Jefferson
and the epublicanism OF Lincoln, by
voting for Bryan, for the whole state
ticket from Breidenthal down, and
for the senatorial and county ticket.
The applause showed how strongly
this splendid speech from a splendid
man affected the audience.
At the close of Mr.. Duval's address
Mr.. Frank Elliott was introduced and

A gentleman who is a good friend
OF ours who is campaigning the county
for Mr.. Williams, candidate tor pro-
bate Judge, is mistaken in some of his
campaign material. 1t is in regard
to a matter In which the facts in the
case are get- Lt-able. He is saying
to the people that Judge Blauchard's
pension is S24 per month and that he
does not need the Office. That as Mr.
Williams pension Is So per month he
ought to have the vote of the people
for the Office of probate judge. Now
we know that Mr.. Williams is a fine
man, but he has an exceedingly luc-
rative position selling lightning rods
in the country besides his pension.
So we think that as our people all
need lightning rods, S1OO month is a
pretty good salary, the two men had
better be kept in their respective posi-
tions-Mr. Blanchard probate Judge
and Mr.. Williams supplying our peo-
pie with first class lightning rods at
prices within the reach of all
