Many Trades Must a Housewife
Learn? in the September National
Magazine. Every lover of good
fiction will enjoy the SIX really fine
stories. June Winston, Carrie
Aunt Latta's new novel composed
of ten short stories, begins in this
number. 1t is a deliciously anus
ing and touching study of child
character. Frank Wickizer's Two
in an AIrship is the wittiest and
most original love story of decade.
Eva Hampton Prather's Our Gar
den of Eden is charming idyl of
girlhood. The other story tellers
are Kenneth Harris of Chicago, Sa-
rah Lindsay Coleman of North Car
DINA and Louise J. Strong, of Mis-.
souri,. Charles Ferguson discusses
The Expansion of the Republic.
DR.. Felix L. Oswald, in the first OF
a series of popular science papers
under the general heading. Ameri-
can Auguries, predicts mIlder win
tiers and dryer summers for this
continent, and gives his reasons.
Dallas Lore Sharp's Some Friend
ly Birds is a nature study in his
best vein. In Some People of the
New South Lewis r. McBrayne
tells how the new cotton mills be
low Mason & Dixou's line are call
ing half million mountain whites

Joe Mitchell Chapple writes of a
trip overland From Boston to the

tells The Story of the Ingersoll
Dollar Watch. Tie pictures and
poems of the number are many and
fine; the departmental gossip of
Affairs at Washington, the Stage

and entertaining.

IS COMING BACK
BOrelli's Comet Will Again Be
Seen This Week.

A month ago it was announced
that the heavens would be pierced
by new comet, which would be
the most conspicuous of any in the
past century, with the exception Of
that of 1855. 1t was stated that it
would make its appearance to the
naked eye about August l and re-
main visible for three weeks. 1t
proved to be very Insignificant
affair.
Now the astronomer fellows tells
us that they gave the comet the
wrong motion, or rather that its
apparent motion deceived them, and
that it passed around the sun on
the side opposite from us, and that
it is now coming back between us
and the sun. They say that it will
again become visible on August 81,
and will be remarkably fine. II
had one tail at first, and this could
not be seen. Now It has two tails,
and both of them will blaze like
liquid fire along the heavens. Look
for it tonight.

FRIENDS OF JUDGE BUSH
BOUNDED.

The papers report that the Geo
v. Observation-Disclosures gang in
Christian county have again de-
clared war on the friends of the
machine-vanquished Judge Bush.
We sincerely regret it. Our un.
Outstanding was that after the
Bush-Cook contest had been decided
every effort would be made to as
suage the strife thereby engender'
ed. But flushed with their victory,
awarded by order OF the State ma
chine, and intoxicated with false
power, without regard to the law OF
the case, the gang seemed relent-
less in their determination to pur-
sue and "punish" the Democrats of
the district who were so ill-advised
as to support Christians proud aud
noble son ia that never-to- be-for-
gotten race. They will bide their
time and hit when the iron gets hot.
But it BODIES no good to the party.
However, that is professional pol
itics, and the professionals are in
the saddle.
The last act ia this foolish and
suicidal warfare was the gathering
together of the Cook partisans of
the Christian county committee for
the purpose of removing the chair
man, who had been guilty of sup
porting Judge Bush, his neighbor
and close friend. They removed
MIR. Gary, and elected in his stead,
according to the Courler-Journal, a
Cook follower. Mr.. Gary was re-
moved, be it known, without
S'cause, for no cause could be as
signed, and ais removal is APP
pIauded by the whole gang. But
when the Lyon county committee
remo' ed NJ. 7. BOughter, for gross |
violation of his duties, the gang
cried Revolution, and whimper-
ingly appealed to their masters at
Frankfort, and he was reinstated
ia the face of the will of the COM
mittee and of the Democrats OF the
countp.
Mr.. Boughter was directed G? to
call elections to fill the vacancies in
this county. He has refused to do
1T. But that pleases the gang, and
he is commended Tor overriding the
viii Of the party,
We do not charge Judge Cook
with responsibility for this suicidal
jdiocy. But we do charge him with |

he would consult his own not to say
