ANGRY DELEGATES.
The Vote for Representatives
Caused Much Irritation.

Many Democrats who attended yester-
days county convention as delegates did
not return for the township convention. II
was explained by their friends that they
were ''sore" at the way they had been
handed hot ones" by the disciples OF Tag
CART. II is related that the ballot for rep
resentative was the straw that broke the
camefs back. Many had kept tally on this
ballot and IL was realized that Hoffman
was the only one nominated. They were
prepared for the announcement OF his NOM
nation, but not for the other four whose
names were read or. The chairman did
not even announce the vote received by

Since Victor Hugo's retirement
from the Herald, there has been
much speculation as to the cause.
We were informed from a reliable
source that Victor had too much
respect for himself to continue in
doing Scouten's dirty work and
being conscious of a hereafter, HIM
self, could no longer tolerate the
methods of his partner. Others
say that the Herald's earnings were
too meager to maintain life. OF
the latter we can speak with some
assurance of its correctness. The
reason of it is plain. In order to
draw patronage from it's competl-
tors it took job work and advertis-
ing at a ridiculously low rate. The
auditors of LaPorte Twp. must
admit having had such privileges
with the Herald, and there are hun
dreds of others. But then every one
will get what they deserve, in this
earthly sphere or in the spiritual
one. Don't worry.

Now Scouten has pitched into
Billy Shoemaker. 1t seems that
the republicans are not running
the party to suit Scouten. Now,
that's too bad. 1t looks to a man
outside the democratic party as if
Scouten had plenty to do if he spent
his remaining energies in running
his own party. One year ago
Scouten thought he had the cinch
on the democratic party. and could
do what he pleased, but the result
did not justify his assurance. He
was not successful in landing a
single candidate. His three men
were Walsh, McCarty, and Craft.
If he makes his slate go this year
he will have to spend less time try
ing to manage the republican party.
Agents and peddlers are more
numerous than seventeen year To-
Gusts. Things good, bad and in
different all come the way of the
busy housewife. Here are patent
can openers, cherry seeders. Here
are carpet rugs and silver CD ware
sold at sacrifice to the customer.
The customer usually makes the
sacrifice. Some really good, labor
saving devices are sold and some
things, after the first trial will be
relegated to the trash box never
to be used again. There are
worthy people who deserve patron
age, and there are good articles and
labor-saving devices which may
sometimes be purchased of them,
but many a good housewife has
discovered, after paying good
round price to an agent, that the
same article could have been pur-
chased of a local dealer for small
er sum. After all, our local deal
ers are people who help pay the
taxes and who really help the com
munity in every way and they
should have the preference. The
money paid to them remains in the
community and helps to run our
churches and our schools and to
promote the public welfare. In
time of panic or sickness our local
dealers are with us and the credit
they extend helps many families
over a financial barrier. Where
are the strange agents then? Gone
like the chaff before the wind, and
no one knoweth their place of habi
tation. Stand by your local mer
chant, read the ads. in your loca
paper to see who he is; stand by
him in your prosperity, and in YOU
adversely he will not forsake you.

A Queen and Her Kingdom.
By ELIzABETH PATTERSON.

Both the queen and her subjects are very suscepti
bic to cold and very easily benumbed the days
become short in the fall they lose all their vitality
and soon succumb, only few young queens living
through the winter
But when the sun grows warm in spring. and snow
and ice become merry rvulets, and the bleak brown
earth its first tnge of green, these queens
crawl out to stretch their wings and bask in the
shine And if it be in nook sheltered from chill air
or raw wind, the young queens soon accustom them
selves to the light and air, and gain strength.
And then, if watch closely, we will young
queen first test her wings, and fly hther and thher,
searching for suitable spot on which to start a
colony. Very likely she will select low pine
branch and then begin to hunt about for some old
wood or fibres of plants. She has pair of very
strong mandibles or jaws and with these she gnaws
and tears off tiny particles of the decaying wood
chewing and working with her jaws until she has
reduced them to pulp by mixing them with the
juices in her mouth. This pulp is formed into tiny
balls which are borne to the branch selected for her
home. There the balls are pressed into the form
of a column; this she does with her head. To this
she attaches a tiny umbrella formed of the paper
pulp. Beneath it she builds few cells, which are
of finer texture than the outside covering. AS the
cells finished the queen deposits in each an egg,
which she CLUES firmly in paceperhaps prevent it
from falling out, the cells open downward
Then here and there through the woods, or the
fields, about the buildings where perhaps she
has made her home, the mother flies in search of
food for the babies for as they escape from
the egg they will be ravenousy hungry. There is
no rest for her as the bright days come and go.
Much paper is to be made for additional cells, and
for increasing the size of the umbrella and all the
time there is an undated need for the insects which
she stings for food, numbing but not killing them.
AS as they hatch, the little ones devote
themselves to eating and seem never to be salts
fed though their mother provides great numbers of
insects and the juices of fruits and worms which she
carefully gives them. drop by drop. But soon there
comes change, and each baby spins siken web
