BOBBY'S AFfLlCTlON.
A Discrepancy In Ages Caused Him
Cneasincss.

A Discrepancy In Ages Caused Him
Cneas;ncss.
Many of the boys in the vicinity or
little Bobby's home were from three
TO six years older than he and, after
the manner of small boys. objected to
having one so much younger take an
active part in their games. When
six-year-old Bobby protested against
this his nurse and mother explained
and excused this grievous condition or
affairs by explaining that they were
too old" for him. Bobby received this
explanation in silence and. while not
satisfied, remembered it.
A few days later Bobby. who had
been up to some small mischief. was
reproved by his nurse. After explain
ing that what he had done was
naughty in order to make her reproof
more impressive she told him that God
would not approve of it. On hearing
this Bobby thought hard for a mo-
ment.
SIS God older than l ann" he finally
inquired. :.
"Oh. yes. dear! A great deal older.
replied his nurse.
How old is God?' was the next
! query.
Very, very old. Older than the sun
or the earth or anything you can sce.
"Is he a million years old"
Eyes. more than that"
Bobby gave little sigh.
"Oh, dear! | guess he's too old for
me. then. That's probably the reason
why we can't agree. It's too bad.
First 1t way the boys that were TO
old for me. and now it's God. It's
dreadful hard being only six years
old. Nothing seems to match that
| age."-New York Times.

How Auntle May Taught Johnnie to
Be Really Brave.

'Freddy Jimpson is a coward
And Johnnies eyes and lips were
very scornful. "He's actually afraid
to play with my dog"
perhaps Freddy is brave in 9th

quietly. 81 know a boy who isn't
afraid to play with dogs-eveD

play Without never dares go lp

That's different" said Johnnie,
looking guilty.
"Nobody can be really brave who
is afraid" said Auntie May, throw.
ing her arm about her nephew and
looking him straight IL he eyes.
at isn't particularly brave to do
things that seem easy. It's when
one does the thing that seems hard
that one is brave"
81 wish l had the scissors left
up in my room," said his mother,
who was doing some mending, "but
IN really too tired to 60 up after
them. Pm almost tired out tonight. a"
"I'll get them" said Aunt May
quickly, but Johnnie was on his feet
first.
"No, no! III get them" he said
clearly.
"But it's dark upstairs said his
mother, astonished.
Johnnie made nc answer, but he
smiled at Auntie May, and Auntie
May smiled back. She knew of what
Johnnie was thinking, and when he
came back with the scissors she told
him that he had been really brave
and courageous that time, and
well, she never said a word about
hurrying or noticed that he was out
of breath.

its every state at some season. Its
northward migration extends within
the arctic circle, while it is known to go
southward to northern South America
and the West Indies. Comparatively
few of the birds which move north
ward from February until May breed
south of the international line. 1t Is
quite true there are breeding grounds
at various points Of the northern states.

from latitude AZ degrees north TO some
undetermined point much nearer the
pole than most sportsmen will venture.
Some time in September the first
southbound birds pass below the Cana.

suitable marshy bits Of east and west
have their share of long billed prizes.
Then begins an astonishing attack
which extends from ocean to ocean and
generally sweeps southwark from Can

at the artful dodger.-Edwyn Sandys

SPEECH OF DR. ]. E. MARTIN
NOMINATING MORRIS, FOR SHERIFF

on political chicanery, while your
rights are trodden under foot and
the burdens of taxation are piled
higher and higher and public rev.
enues are squandered No! 1
don't believe you intend to do it.
I have an abiding faith in my fell
bowman, and L believe that when
the ides of November come, when
the leaves turn yellow and. fall
from the boughs, when the cricket
sings upon the hearthstone of the
humble cottage, the honest yeo-
mandy Of our county will arise
in their might and assert their
rights as free-born American citi-
zens, and elect the ticket which
we nominate today. Fellow Dem
ocrats, Union district comes to
the convention with a candidate
who lays claim to your support,
not upon the mere fact that he is
a Democrat, but upon the more
salient fact that he is capable and
honest. When Thomas Jefferson
was President of the United
States and candidate presented
himself for Federal office, the
question that were asked of him
were: els he capable, and is he
honest?" Our candidate fully
meets these requirements. A story
is told of a Grecian philosopher
who went through the streets of
his native city in the daytime
with a lighted lantern in his
hand. Some one approached him
and asked why he, a philosopher,
should do so strange a thing as
this. He replied he was looking
for a man. If that old philoso-
pher could come to earth and pass
through this convention today, ne
would stop in front of Union dis
trict's candidate, for he is a man,
an honest man; and the poet has
said: can honest man is the no.
blest work Of God" He is a man
whose popularity is not circum-
scribed to the narrow limits OF
his own party, but he can get ev-
cry Democratic vote in Tyler
county and 200 Republican votes
besides. Nominate him, and the
people will rally to his support
like the gray-haired veterans to
the standard of Napoleon upon
his return from Elba. Nominate
him, and when election day comes
the people will gather from the
hill tops, and they will gather
from the valleys, and roll up a
majority that will make bribery
and corruption cover beneath
the lash of defeat. Nominate him,
and victory will perch upon De-
mocracy's banner. This capable
and considerations citizen, this
scholarly gentleman, this prince
of good fellows is Lloyd Morris
of Friendly.

The following speech was deliv-
cred by DR.. j. E. Martin in nomi-
mating Lloyd Morris for Sheriff /:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen
of the Convention 1t is the pre-
rogative of this convention to
nominate as it's candidates today
men who can command the re-
spect and entire confidence not
only of the Democratic party, but
of the Republican party, also. l
believe that a great majority OF
the Republican party is honest,
and I also believe that great
percent of the conscientious Re-
publicans of Tyler county have
set the stamp of disapproval on
the methods which have been re-
Gently used in Tyler to nominate
candidates upon their ticket. 1
tell you that Republican politics
in our county is becoming as cor
rupt as ever was New York City
under Tammany or Cincinnati
under George B. Cox. The pri-
mary that was recently held here
is notorious as one Of the most
corrupt and disreputable that has
ever disgraced any county within
the borders Of our little Mountain
State. When men will resort to
the use of money; when men will
resort to the use of intoxicating
liquor; when men will employ
means as groveling as the Red
Ticket ballot, there is something
rotten in the political Denmark of
our country. Fellow citizens, II
we wish to preserve the govern
ment bequeathed to us by our Rev
dictionary forefathers and hal
lowed by their most precious
blood; if we intend to perpetuate
the grandest form of government
ever conceived by the mind OF
man, we must vote according to
the dictates Of our own con-
science, and not in accordance
with the dictation Of bosses and
boodlers. History teaches that
any party long continued in pow.
er becomes corrupt. TITS true OF
Republican, it's true of Demo-
Gratis. Proof of this stare us in
the face on every hand. When
men become corrupt in office or
when men use corrupt means to
obtain the nomination for office,
it is the duty of every citizen to
enter a vigorous protest. Can the
honest thinking Republicans OF
Tyler county consent to the buy
ing and selling Of voters like so
many cattle? Can they as men,
as citizens of a great Common
wealth, 60 to the polls and cast
their suffrages for candidates who
will prostitute themselves for
money or political office9 Do you,
my Republican friends, intend to
sit idly by and look in silence up
