The registration books were opened
Tuesday, in compliance with the pro-
visions of the new election law, and
will be kept open 80 days, or until
October 20. Electors who registered
before the June election will not be
required to register again, but all
others desiring to vote in November
will have to come forward now and
get their name in the book. County
Clerk Smith is of the opinion that the
registration in Polk county will be

"But the man who will voluntarily
accept an invitation to act as a Judge
in baby show forfeits his reputation
as one of sagacity or of prudence.
"In the case, however, OF the county
exhibits the Judge had an exceptionally
hard task. With unusual tact in
arrangement and a great variety OF
exhibits, he was up against the real
thing. Some fault is found with the
fact that he is a citizen Of Canada.
In this respect, we have no sympathy
for him, for the man who will go away
from home, and into foreign country,
besides, to get into such a thankless
task as this, deserves all the humlli-
ating annoyances that are attendant
upon such imprudent recklessness.
'The writer recalls a Fair many
years ago when he was associated
with the late John Daily, of Dallas,
and Col. R. A. Miller, of Jacksonville,
on a committee whose duty was to de-
termine the relative points ofexcellence
between a display Of geese, and neither
of the judges ever recovered from the
ill-feeling which it was freely said
cropped out from the alleged unjust
decision.
"The Statesman is in receipt of a
communication from G. T. Bonney,
the superintendent of the Marion
county exhibit at the State Fair, in
which he gives his version of the de-
cision by which he lost the first prize,
and, indeed. the second, also.
"Mr. Bonney had good exhibit
the best, in our judgment, Marion
county has had for years. We are
free to confess that it would have been
difficult for US to have decided against
itand in favor of any of its competitors,
but in these matters it is best to sub,
nit gracefully to the decision that is
handed down and quietly saw wood
with the tools that are at hand.
"For these reasons-a desire to not
unnecessarily cause hard feelings
against the Fair management, the
Judge, Mr.. Bonney or the Statesman
we have thought it best to let the
matter drop without printing the com
munication of our good friend from
Woodburn, whose exhibit, we repeat,
was a credit to himself and the county
he so we'll represented"

Small Boy Remembered His Fathers
Explanation

Small Boy Remembered His Fathers
Explanation.
Jackson is a small boy OF some 8 or
8 years of age, whose father is very
anxious to make a scholar of him.
Jackson's tastes do not seem to run
IN the same channel, and, consequent
ly, when the monthly report is sent
home, his average is usually in the
70s, with conduct marked very poor.
Finding that counter-irritation did not
produce the desired result, his father
made game of him in every conceiv-
able manner, telling him that he
would never amount to anything If he
did not do better work. His remarks
on these occasions became so often
sive to the child who was rather SEN
sitive and did not relish the idea of
being ridiculed in the presence of
his brother and sister, that he said to
his father the last time he brought
home a report:
Father, why do you talk to me like
this and make so much fun of me?"
His father replied: jackson, If
did not know you were capable of do
ing better work, or If l thought you
were dumb, would never say a cross
word to you about your marks"
Last week Jackson handed in re.
port with the usual low average, and
before pater familias could start in on
the usual language. spoke up very
quickly and said:
"Father, I'm umb!"-Boston Post.

The new Republic of Panama now

manuscript of which, bearing the au-
tograph Of the composer, is in the
possession Of DR.. r, A. Amador. the
consul general of Panama in New

The conception OF the hymn was
almost as sudden as was that of the
federation itself. Until the 14th day
of May the people had no song to give
adequate expression to the patriotic
sentiment toward the new govern
ment. The following day-the 18th
AN official reception was to be ten
dered to the commanders of the
American and European men-of-war
lying in the roadstead, to the diplo-
matte corps, and TO the officers of the
United States troops quartered on the
isthmus. AS the Republican band of
Panama, consisting of fifty pieces, is
stationed at the capital to furnish
music for ceremonious occasions, the
entertainment was deemed a proper
moment for the introduction to the
world OF musical composition that
would ever afterward be the recog-
nized national anthem of the repub'
lie. flI
With characteristic Latin-American
impulsiveness, a conference was
called at the Palacio, in which the
political, literary and musical author
tiles of the isthmus met, and after q
lively debate, lasting throughout the
evening. 1t was resolved to intrust &c
