WAS COMMENDED BY ODELL

NEW YORK. July 20.-The report that
Judge Parker will not resign his seat
on the court of appeals bench until al
ter August s. leads Republicans TO be-
lieve that in the event he is defeated IN
the Presidential election he will be can
didate for appointment by the govern
or TO his present position.
Under the law. unless Judge Parker
resigns on or before August S, his sue
.cessor cannot be elected until Move m
Der. 1905. and it would become the duty
of Governor Oden to III the place by
appointment.
Two years ago. when Judge Parker
was being discussed for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, Governor
Odell publicly said that his acceptance
OF the nomination would not leopard his
position on the bench.
Praised Parker as Judge.
Judge Parker is so excellent a judge
that if the Democrats nominate him as
my opponent and he resigns from the
court of appeals. I will make no appoint
ment to fiji the vacancy until after the
election. Then / will appoint Judge
Parker to the position" was the state
ment made by Governor OdeH at mat

him TWO years ago.
His failure 20 resign, and the semi

them 10 believe that the Sphinx Of

1t Is recognized that. except for the
Presidency. Judge Parker would never
leave the bench. and the natural as
sumption is that If he cannot have the
Presidency he would like TO have his
place on the bench back again.
The judicial Office is exactly suited 10
Judge Parker's likes. He has no dis
position for general practice. although
he knows that his income would be
greatly larger as a practitioner than

An, East prussia Custom.

Midsummer day, or St John the Bap-
lists day, is festival Of much impor-
lance among the Masur peasant girls
in east Prussia. On this day they each
make a wreath, and each in turn tries
to throw her wreath so as to lodge It
on a fruit tree. a girl must keep on
throwing until her wreath stays In tne
branches, and the number OF attempts
is supposed to indicate the number OF
years she will have to wait to get mar
ried. When the girls are thus engaged
the young men Of the village stand
around chatting them when they miss.
The girl who lands her wreath at the
first attempt is yehementy applaudeo.
The Masurs are Poles who live IN that
part Of Prussia which was once part
Of Poland.

No Poison in chambe1lala's Cough Remedy.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board OF
New York South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made of all the cough med
lcines that were sold in that market.
Out OF the entire list they found only
one that they declared was entirely
free from all poisons. This exception
was Chan1berlain's Cough Remedy,
made by the Chamberlain Medicine
Company, Des Moines, Iowa, y. 5. A.
The absence of all narcotics makes this
remedy the safest and best that can be
had; and it is with a feeling of security
that any mother can give il to her little
ones. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
especially recommended by its makers
for coughs, colds, Group and whoopins
cough. This remedy is for sale by The
