BALD HEAD WAS SUGGESTIVE.
Looked Like Map Of HOLY Land and
the PASTORS ACTIONS
Did the Re3t.

Serious persons laugh rarely, but
when they do it is an outburst. Ac-
f1oPrding to this there must have been
UGH an outburst at one time during
be life of Benjamin Harrison. This
klarity may have developed on the
cAsion when the future president,
IN a young man, was visiting at the
me Of friends, relates the Detroit
Free Press. The boy of the family re
lated that at Sunday school that morn
ing they had studied a map of the
holy land. And, papa" he continued,
do you know that Mr.. Wilson, who
sits in front of us, his bald head looks
just like the map of the holy land -
The boy was hushed. That evening
the entire party went to church. While
the pastor was reading announcements
the boy looked intently at Mr.. Wilson's
barren head. I~nvOluntarily the others
did the same, no doubt recalling the
laAusion of the morning. A fly alighted
on Mr.. Wilson's geographical pate.
"The amount received in the collec-
ton this morning will enable us to send
announcer missionary 10 the hOIy Idnd,
read the pastor. 1t will depend upon
your future contributions whether OF
not we will keep him there"
At this moment Wilson's hand swept
the intruding fly from the regions sug-
costing the holy land. The boy went
into commissions. To preserve the dig
nifty of the service the others soon
left, for their risibilities were fast
getting beyond control.

The definite announcement OF Al
derman Cannon made through the
Evening News yesterday will doubt
less put an end to the unwarranted
use of his name in connection with
the senatorial nomination which
some of the county papers have enjoy
ed discussing. This apparently leaves
the nomination free for Mayor Vieh-
mann, of New Brunswick.
The Republicans still favor Assemb-
lyman Jackson and if he is nominated,
it will be two New Brunswick men
in the ring and the fight will center
in that city. The many friends of
Mr.. Cannon will be glad to know that
he is in line to go back to the

enced all over the State in regards to

several of the petitions received by

the law is somewhat complicated, but
with all its faults, it is a step in tn 9
right direction. AT least, no man can
