IT IS indeed a political wonder
ment that Mayor Jones should have
been elected in Toledo again this
spring. He first won on the Re-
publican ticket, then that party
got too aristocratic for him on a
second term, and would not NOM
mate him. He ran on an indie
pendent ticket, and got 10000 more
votes than the regular party NOM
inees put together. Last fall
Jones stumped the state for Bryan
and thus was the regular Demo
cratic nominee in Toledo for a
third term. He was elected by
over 1000. His political career is
certainly wonderful, and strongly
demonstrates the independence of
the voters of today.

Smallpox "Remedies."
New York Post.

The wide prevalence of smallpox has
made the opportunity for the vendors of
nostrums. 1t is almost an axiom that a
few cents invested in an alleged remedy for
any or all diseases. and many dollars in
vested in printers ink, will produce ample
returns Persons who dose themselves are
innumerable and with the existing an
tipathy for vaccination, n fertile field is
open for the vendors Of preventives or
cures for smallpox. One of the numerous
preparations offered, which has had wide
advertisement, and which may appeal more
than others of it's kind to the credulous, is
the cream of tartar prescription. This
reads: place one ounce of cream of tartar
in sixteen ounces of water and take a
tablespoonful every day and you may sleep
with a smallpox patient with perfect i'm
punity. If every citizen would do this for
fifteen days there would be an end of small
pox in any city. This has found much

The Well at Nazareth.

Across the plain of Es' draelon
The DICTIONARIES swept.
By vineyards green. through groves of palms
Their northward way they kept
They came at last to Nazareth,
Out rang the bugle's blast;
Through sitting heat and binding dust
They reached the well at last.
The sun of Galilee has looked
On many grievous wrongs;
1t looked that day upon a lad
Bound fast with leatherh thongs.
He sank upon the dusty ground
Beneath the burning sun,
And heard as in some dim sweet dream
The cooling waters
His fast departing senses strayed
To cool Siloam's rin
Where oft with Tirzah he had played
Near lions sacred hill.
The curious rabble paid no heed
To his low, gasping cry;
The stern decurion noticed not
His look of agony.
But suddenly a form of grace
Walked through that hostile band
Upon the shoulder, burned and bare,
He laid gentle hand.
Then from the well a cooling draught
He gave the suffering lad;
No word was spoken. but his heart
Grew strangely warm and glad.
loving touch, o tender hand 4.
That hand, dear Lord, was thine;
The almost dying eyes looked up
Into the eyes divine;
Into his deeper darkening night
There shone heavenly ray.
One star OF hope, whose steadfast light
Beamed his clouded way.

On and shore;

The galley's straining oar.

Through scenes of blood and death.

This Is an interesting fact, but neither
among men nor women does the ability TO
make anything more than a medium reci-
tation. either orally or in writing, indicate
superior qualification for any position re-
curing independent judgment and the pow
er to execute. Often a recitation OF ex-
traordinary fiuency and ease may raise a
presumption that it is only a mental vision
recitation or a verbal memory recitation,
either of which is compatible with the high

with only feeble general intellectual powers

next year one of the newer magazines will
begin a serial publication of Joel Chandler
Harris's novel, a tale of the reconstruction
period, and the publishers frankly state
their belief that the story will bring them
in thousands of regular readers which they
could not reach in any other manner. Au-
thors themselves, as has been noted, are
prone to look upon serial rights a sure
means of support and returns from book
sales as luxurious profits Not every novel
is suitable for serial purposes, and not
every serial is worthy Of book covers, but,
more and more, the author whose business
instincts have been developed is writing the
kind of a tale which will reap reward from
both sources.

handled that il would fall open at
a touch. what had happened while
she was away, and what might hap
pen now she was here.
The mated pair who had made a
love match were disillusioned. As
often happens in such disasters. the
woman was more inclined to adjust
herself TO the changed relations than
the man. Feminine regard for APP
pearances has more to do with this
submissive attitude than philosophy.
Marjorie had pared her half-loaf into
such semblance of the goodly whole
she had bargained for as might de-
ceiye the outside world. She went
so far sometimes as to try to make
believe to herself that she was al
nest content with it. Any deceit
was better than to face the truth that
her husband was disappointed in her
and dissatisfied with the lot into which
his marriage with her had brought
him. No strange thing had hap
pened to her. Other wives were in
the same case-many worse.
Basil. on his part. considered the.
whole loaf his due by every natural
and purchased right. and meant to
have it in some shape-or its full
equivalent.
Marjorie had reasoned herself in
