Hon. Chas. II. Coleman, of Muir.
ray, who has been prominently
spoken of as a candidate for circuit
Judge has issued his withdrawal
card, appearing below, explaining
why he Will not continue in the con-
test.
Having an ambition to be judge
OF this district, some time ago
went through TIE county seats in
the district, investigating the sisua.
tion, and received much encourage
ment to make the race throughout
the district, but especially in my
home county, so much that l made
up my mind to formally announce
my candidacy. Just at this time
the judicial district committee was
called to meet in Kuttawa on the 10th
of January, 1908. On this date they
did meet, and against former prec-
edents, and over the expressed OBJ
jections and protests of seven out OF
nine prospective candidates for cir
cult judge and commemorative at
torney (at that time there being no
announced candidates. the said
committee called primary election
for May 9th, 1908, as l then said
and yet believe, in the interest of
machine politics.
"This action on the part of the
committee makes it impossible for
me to make the race, with much, if !
any hope of success-since am
total stranger outside of the county
seats, in all the four counties COM
prIslng the district, except my own,
and there not being sufficient time,
considering the condition of the
public roads, and that 80 days of
time will be taken up in the April
term of circuit court, to make the !
acquaintance of the voters of the
other counties.
81 regret exceedingly that am
forced out of the race and desire to
say TO my friends who have so kind
ly manifested an interest in my /
success, that l appreciate to the
fullest extent, all that has been
done or said, by you, and each of
you, and when 1 can serve you,
command me. Yours truly,

mean the certain fall of the ministry.
Sig. Zanardellis democratic princi-
pies have interfered with his political
ambition, as in the days of King Hum
bert democratic principles were at a
discount and any effort to depart from
the accepted way was nipped in the
bud.
Once Zanardelli was requested to
form cabinet, and, thinking young
blood necessary, chose comparative
ly unknown men, some of them now
the highest in the political world of
Italy. King Humbert looked at the
list and then at Zanardelh and said
severely: "These are the under-sec-
retaries, of course, and the ministers?"
That day Sig. Crispi again took the
helm, and the career of the new
premier was considered at an end.
The prime minister is exceptionally
tall and thin, usually badly dressed,
with a stoop about his shoulders, but
a power in the cabinet much above the
ordinary. At court he is no better
liked than the minister of the interior,
although the king supports and val
ues him above all. Last Christmas, as
is customary, he and the cabinet asked
an audience of the queens mother,
who replied refusing, saying that it
was too soon after her husbands
death, but that event had not prevent
ed her from receiving the Saracco
cabinet one year earlier, four months
after King Humbert's death.

Nice in Last Year,a Hat.

A New York street car incident a
few days ago should furnish dread
full warning to women who wear last
years hats. A tolerably young and
charming woman boarded a suburban
car on the other side of the river, and
after having seated herself discovered
that her hat was alive. The next in
slant saw the millinery on the floor
and the woman standing on the floor
with skirts lifted rather indecorously
high. Four mice scampered around
the floor in great CONSERVATION at
having been dispossesed of their tene-
ment. After the mice were killed the
woman explained that the hat was an
old one which she had not worn for a
year.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world is
being given to the subject. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumo.
MIA always results from a cold or
an attack of influenza (grip,) and
it has been observed that this rem
edy counteractS any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip
~ recent years, and can be relied
upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia Olsen results from
slight cold when no danger is ap-
pretended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and diff
ficulty in breathing and pains in
the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

ItaRy's Prime Minister Ia Highly
Esteemed BY HE King.

Italy is particularly fortunate in
having two really strong men at the
head Of her affairs, Sig. Zanardelli,
the premier, and Sig. Giolitti, the min
lister of the interior. The situation is,
however, curious as these two men,
although never having been real rivals,
are as jealous of each other as
couple of women. But notwithstand-
ing this they have worked in harmony
in the same cabinet for over two years,
recognizing the fact, perhaps, that
they are necessary to each other, and

The UnsaIabIe Potatoes.

A considerable part of the potato
crop this year is unstable and should
be utilized in feeding live stock, says
Denver Field and Farm. For horses.
sheep and dairy cows potatoes should
be sliced in root cutter or chopped III
a box with sharp spade. Milk cows
may be fed with advantage as much as
twenty-five pounds of sliced potatoes
daily, but If Il greater weight than this
is fed the potatoes will have an un-
favorable influence on the quality OF
the butter produced. For sheep three
or four pounds of potatoes daily to each
member of the flock will prove hghly
advantageous. FatteniEs sheep may
be fed as much as eight pounds q day.
Work horses may be fed ten or twelve
pounds daily Of sliced potatoes.

The Elephant's Sense.

Why an elephant should be afraid Of
q mouse is mystery. Some have
doubted the generosity Of the elephant,
because of his aversion to small anil
mails, but none can doubt his intelli-
gence. Button, Notwithstanding his
idea Of the mere mechanism Of ami
mails, spoke Of the elephant as at the
same time miracle Of intelligence
and monster of matter" Ernest Me-;
nault happily referred to him as the
animal that carried his nose in his
hand; hence the marvellous intelligence,
of his trunk. The senses Of touch and
smell cooperate.
The nerves which extend through his
trunk are so numerous that they equal
in number all those distributed over
the rest of the body. The elephant can
keep perfect time to music. He has the
ear perfectly organized, and the hear.
ing is extremely fine. The eye of the
elephant is distinguished from that Of
other animals by the pathetic express
sion of sentiment. Take him all in all,
naturalists agree that he Is the most In.
telligent of animals. And why should
he be afraid Of mouse?

The men dispersed about their du'

and the deck lights switched off. After
awhile Donna Clotilde came gliding up
out Of the darkness and stepped up the
ladder to the top Of the deckhouse.
