CORONER W. D. PARIS AT HIS OFFICE WORK

There seems virtually to be but one candidate for coroner in this campaign and that is the incumbent Coroner w. D. Paris. whose likeness is shown above. Coroner Paris. apart from his valuable service to the county as coroner, is a man who deserves the support of the people. He is a wonder, in that he has advanced in life despite a terrible afflic- tion-the loss of both hands. His hands were lost in sugar mill while at Work when a boy but despite this terrible handicap he educated himself and made himself a useful member of society. Only a man of remarkable determination and will power, as well as intelligence, would have done this. Let every voter place himself in the same condition as MT. Paris is in and ask himself the question who shall I vote for for coroner? Then do your Christian duty and help those who try to help themselves. Others may be talked about and especially may talk about themselves as candidates for cor oner, but the general concensus or opin- ion is that when the public has pretty good thing 1t is policy to hold on to it for a while. say a second term, at least. Faithfulness, alertness and worthiness are important conditions, and those are certainly embodied in the person and services of the present coroner, w. D. Paris.
 Intelligence, capability and courtesy tell in office. as well as in business These qualities form a record for Coroner Paris. That position has never been filled with greater ability nor with higher credit than by him. His conduct of office and performance of duty is in the highest de- gree commendable, and no one aues- tions it.
 Coroner Paris is now serving his hrst term. If one puts utterly one side demo- cratic usage and precedent, is not such an official deserving of the recognition and reward of a second term. But in the face of democratic custom, can any democrat deny 1t to him?
 The man for the office and not the off, fee for the man Is always safe rule. MT. Paris has been typical in his manage ment of the office of coroner. He cannot well be improved upon. He is coroner widely known. People respect him and admire him for the courage he exhibits in

 Mir Hodge was beseged, however, by a few zeaious buyers. and In reply to their questions he said:
 'I do not think the manuscript will be offered again for auction, but 1t may be sold privately, as MT, Baker, for whom was acting. now knows its actual value. There is no truth in the statement that Mir. Pierpont Morgan or any one else made us a private offer of R5000o or even s50.000 for it. But I am nos surprised at this because 1t is not treasure that would appeal to all milionaires. Now. if it were gorgeously, illuminated. the case might have been different, and some of them might have come forward"

Weakness of Siberian Railway.
lew York Times.

From the New York Times.
 A single line railroad, with the best equipment and sidings, and managed in the best manner. cannot be made to serve for the maintenance of more than one hundred thousand men. So a high Euro- pean military authority declares and there is no contradiction of the affirma- tion. The Siberian railway has stations and sidings about twenty-five miles apart, is very fiimsy in structure, and Russian railway management Is notoriously the worst in Europe. The vulnera bility of the line Is manifest; it will take as many men to protect it as it can for the present transport and support. Apart from the danger of destruction to which it's more vulnerable portions are exposed, the ques- ton of transport after rail head is reached is one which will prevent vast forces from being poured into Manchurla. and the transport difficulty will be found the greatest with which the Russian army in those regions will have to contend.

H ROUND ROBIN.
It's Origin, 1t Is Said, Can Be Traced
Back to Ancient Greece.
Dated Dec. 81, 1904.

It's Origin, 1t Is Said, Can Be Traced
Back to Ancient Greece
According to British naval docu-
ments of the years 1888 and 1859, it
was the custom of seamen of that day
to use the round robin as a safe and
effective means of bringing their griev-
ances before the authorities. A similar
practice existed in France, but the al
legged origin of the term round robin"
from rond ruban, a circular band used
in the French petitions. is probably
fallacious.
The term existed in England long be-
fore, with wholly different meaning.
Thus i'll Deyonshire a round robin"
was a small round pancake, and the
sacramental wafer was called a Ground
robin by Latimer, 1886.
DR.. limbs says that the idea of the
round robin has been traced back to a
Greek conspiracy against the tyranny
OF the Pisistratidae. The Romans had
a similar custom of writing the names
or their guests or friends in a circle
when anxious not to indicate any indi-
vidual preferences.-Londo Standard.

The interior of the church was artistic

and the stage was a most beautiful con-

beautiful to behold. A handsomely

READ AND LAUGH.
Here's two from the Sub Rosa
column OF the Lakewood
Times and Journal.

Miss Lola La Toilette, the daughter
of the Governor of Wisconsin, has a
ready and rather caustic wit. 1t is said
that at a meeting held in Madison for
a charitable purpose, Miss La Toilette
was n of those who passed through
the audience with plates for contribu-
tons. A rich miser sat in a rear seat
alone, and when Miss La Toilette ex-
tended her plate to him, he said grimly:
II have nothing-nothing." The
young girl knew the man was wealthy,
and with a little smile she said: "'Take
something, then. This collection you
know is for the poor"
An official of the railroad running
through West Virginia tells of an
amusing conversation between the
conductor of one ofthe company's trains
running to Parkersburg, and a passen-
ger whose nervousness indicated that
he was not accustomed to the vagaries
of the train schedules.
Said the passenger, "Mr. Conductor.
what time do we get into Parkers-
burg?"
"Ten-Twenty.u
Good. Now, at what hour can I
get a train there for the Weston
"Nine-Twenty."
Tomorrow ?"

AT this the nervous passenger began
to evince signs Of indignation. LOOK
here, conductor exclaimed he, Pm no
fool, you know Cut out this Joking
and tell me at what hour I can get a
train for the West.n
"At nine-twenty tonight reiterated
the im~perturbable official, preparing to
pass on.
"Hold on a minute" gasped the
passenger, catching the conductor by
the sleeve. "Will you please tell me
how | am to leave Parkersburg one
hour before | arrive there ?u
oimpiy ny keeping your seat and
not getting excited" was the calm re-
ply. you'll get your train all right.n
The problem was too much for the
nervous passenger. He gazed helpless
ly about him as if seeking light on the
subject from his fellow passengers.

Perdicarls was received at his town
house by the authorities, the admlrals

friends. His Moorish servants made a
great demonstration Of Joy kissing
their masters hands and clothes.
