now to Darken oak Frames

To darken oak frames sponge them
with boiling water to which has been
added carbonate Of soda in the proper
ton of an ounce to half pint, let
the wood dry thoroughly, and if not
dark enough repeat the process. 1t is
well to test the mixture on piece of
wood before applying it to the frame,
for if it is too strong and makes too
dark a color it can be diluted with
little more water.

Congressman Loudenslager is credited

There is to be secret work, signs, grip and

chief officer is TO be known as the Royal
Flattener, and his business and that OF men,

the temerity to support candidate Vansant

slated for the oa'c, of Royal Flattener-the

The old New Jersey Herald, of Newton,
Sussex county, came to us last week in
new and enlarged form-from a nine col
umn folio to seven column quarto. Its
new form, it seems to us, is the model one
for weekly newspapers of large advertising
patronage and news requirements, and the
Herald is one Of the weeklies of the State
that has both these advantages The
Herald, in the 18th year of its publication,
is at the height of its long AID prosperous
career, a fact which we view with unfained
qualification and for which its publishers,
Messrs Bunnell & Cox are to be especially
congratulated, because they are successors
to that accomplished publisher, Henry
C. Kelsey, and to maintain more than his
standard stamps them as among the leaders
in the profession in New Jersey. May the
Herald always maintain its many present
excellencies

That the fame of our former and present
Sheriff has spread beyond the border OF
our own county, is shown by the following
from the Salem Sunbeam =
'sSheriff Jones, of Gloucester county is a
man who was born with a rabbits foot in
his pocket His election showed that, and
a recent incident proved it. Not long after
his election case of smallpox developed
in the county Jail and the unregenerate re-
joiced, alleging that 1t was retribution for
the jail to be quarantined because of the
election of a Democratic Sheriff. But
Sheriff Jones' smile lost none of its sweet
ness. His luck had not deserted him. The
Jail might be quarantined, but he was still
abroad with his fellows, tor he had dele
gated Former-Sheriff Springer, Republi-
can, to take care of the prison for him until
Spring. While we hurrah for this evidence
of Jones' luck we still hope that Sheriff
Springer's vaccination took and that thu
disease will not attack him. He is tor
good fellow to suffer the effects of the
disease and too good looking to have his
beauty spoiled

GIANTS IN THESE DAYS

f. Beaupre, the Canadian giant who
passed through here month or more
ago going to San Francisco, was a pas.
senger on Monday evenings north
bound train. As he stood in the car
door, STOPPING down that he might see
through it, he was an object of the
most intense and lively curl osity on
the part Of the assembled crowd.
Beaupre is seven feet, 10 inches in
height and fairly well proportioned
but his bigness gives him rather gro
tesque appearance. Though not hand
some, he is not i'll looking and has
rather a sensible expression of coun-
tenance. Beaupre was woodchoppcr
and pursued that vocation in the Brit
ish Columbia forests until discovered
and brought out into the world to pose
as freak.

The baseball game played here Sun
day between the Grants Pass and Med
ford teams was not a game it was a
slaughter. The Medford team was
clearly outclassed from the start and
before the game was half over they
went to pieces completely The
Grants Pass boys showed their oppo-
nents no mercy, but piled up the runs
in manner that made the score a
scandalous one. The Medford boys
stayed bravely to the bitter end and
accepted their fate with commcndable
fortitude. The score was % to in
favor Of Grants Pass.
