A Trick of the Trade.

One of the mean little, if cute,
tricks of Washington market vegc-
table dealers is turning the price on
customers. Take, say, asparagus.
You will find a piece of paS1eboard
on a stick marked "15 cents" If
disposed to haggle for bunch at
IL cents, or two for a quarter, the
merchant will laugh sardonically
and say: "Look at that, my friend.
I've just dropped the price 5 cents
a bunch" lie turns the pasteboard
sign around, and YOU see the other
side, "20 cents" Approaching the
concession, YOU greedily snap at -
cents Il bunch. and when You have
gone your way rejoicing he and his
partner exchange winks. - New
York Press.

EVOLUTION or ELEPHANT.

DR.. Charles W. Andrews has now
published the results obtained by
him in his studies on the ancestral
forms of the elephant. His re-
searches have been carried on in
Egypt, and as result he is able to
show that the elepban: originated
in Africa, and that the ancestors of
the extinct mastodon and the mod
ern elephant were small herbivorous
animals about the size of a tapir.
Three series of evolutionary
changes are noticeable progress.
i've elongation of the legs, pro.
gressive shortening of the neck and
q gradual elongation of the snout
into a muscular prehensile organ,
which finds its highest development
in the trunk of the elephant.
Coincident wish these changes in
structure came changes in the hah-
its of feeding until the animals
were no longer capable of grazing
like ordinary herbivorous animals,
but must convey all their food to
their mouths by means of the fexi-
BILE, muscular snout.

The New SONG of the Shirt.

The up to date song of the shirt
lasts Just six and one-half minutes,
according TO a factory inspector for
whose cdiEcatior the foreman of a
Shirt factory STATED a piece OF cloth
on the rounds and made it come out
ready for Il customers back h,'o:
the second hand on Il watch had r.
volved seven times. In this tins
seven girls had contributed their
efforts tc the finished product. One
machine in this shop makes 1880
buttonholes day, or twenty-eight
in a minute, and in a ten hour day a
man can cut $50 dozen shirtS.-Chi-

says: 81 want to positively state
to all those afflicted with back
ache or kidney complaint in any
form that Doan's Kidney Pills is
the best medicine they can use.
1 base my opinion on the follow
ing facts: A dull, aching pain
across my loins, often severe,
sometimes mild, but there contin-
ually, had annoyed me so fire.
quently that to say l longingly
wished the trouble and l would
part company very mildly ex-
presses my desire. I heard about
Doan's Kidney Pills and the state
ments about them induced me to
60 to a drug store for a box. The
beneficial results which followed
it's use were noticeable after a
dose or two and in a remarka-
bly, short space of time the aching
ceased"

That railroad that was going
to be built from SteeltOn to Mid
dlebourne and Salem was simply
a cheap fake advertised for the
purpose of selling lots at Steelton.
Now that the public have been
loaded up with lots at Steelton
the project will never be heard of
again. Whenever a railroad is
built to Middlebourne it will be
constructed on the shortest and
most practical route from the rlv-
er out. That is as sure as any
thing can be. If business i'm
proves as we expect it will in the
East we will have a railroad
built from this city to Middle
bourne next year, and it will be
built on the shortest and most
practical route regardless of
what people may think about
other routes. Trolley roads cost
at least $4,000 mile, and no
sane men on earth are going to
build a road four or five miles
further simply to get directly
into a town of 800 people when
they cannot get into a city Of
5000 people by only building a
road eight miles long. These are
facts and figures that cannot be
disputed and the road when built
to Middlebourne will go just as
as we state.

therefore insist his confession is

These county clubs are being
organized for the purpose of
awakening the partisan feel
ings and passions of the voters
of the county in the hopes they
will forget the way the Republi-
can candidates for county officers
were nominated and the people
will vote the whole ticket from
top to bottom. We do not blame
Mr.. Anderson for working for the
success of the clubs. He is chair
man of his party, is paid, so we
are told, 1925 month for his SER
vices, and we have also been in
formed if the county officers are
elected this fall he, Anderson,
is to be the next Sheriff. But
we do blame the voters for being
deceived. The County committee
has called already an illegal pri-
mary election. At that election
the men who were favored by the
machine were nominated by the
aid of a liberal use of money and
whiskey. Now, when they know
all of this, to be lead along by
the same machine into voting to
elect the men so corruptly nomi-
mated is another thing. Don't do
it. Vote right. Stay at home and
let the committee learn for once
the Republicans in this county
will not be lead around by a few
political bosses.

THAT AMENDMENT.

The proposed amendment OF
Article 13 of the Constitution,
relative to levying or refralnlng
from the levy of, State and State
school taxes on real and personal
property, was so drafted that its
adoption without some OF the
amendments offered by the NIL
nority as part of the organic laws
of the State, would have been
fraught with grave danger to
many of the most important IN
terests of the people of the State.
Such amendment of the Constitu-
ton is wholly unnecessary for at
least three years, and until after
another session of the Leglsla-
ture and another election after
that of the present year, for put
ting into full effect the scheme
of taxation proposed, if necessary
at all; according to the opinion
of the Republican leaders on the
floor of the House Of Delegates
who advocated its adoption be-
cause the Governor and Mr.. Daw-
son told them to do so-eXpressed
in debate, there was no necessity
whatever therefore; it is a menace
TO the free school system of the
State; it is calculated to cripple,
if not utterly destroy, the machl-
merry now provided for enforcing
the payment of county, district
and municipal taxes, and 1t pro-
yided no other machinery IN lieu
thereof; it threatened the de-
struction Of the only means by
which resident and occupant
claimants of lands within this
State may take the benefit of the
forfeiture of older titles under
Section 3 of Article Il OF the
Constitution, which is the pay
ment of State taxes; and, IS cal
culated to unsettle the laws OF
this State, the decisions OF It's
courts and those of the Supreme
court of the United States per-
tanning to land titles in this
State and to involve them in
confusion and uncertainty.

We are informed that Patrick
Henry Anderson, a former we'll
known Democratic politician IN
this county, but who is now chair
man of the Republican party OF
this county, is busy these days Or
ganizing Republican clubs IN
the interior of the coun-
ty, and before proceed
ing to business, entertains the au-
diences by giving his confession
as to why he is now a Republican.
AS we are informed his confession
sion is, in substance, that while
living in this county when the
State was Democratic, he had
considerable property which he
converted into money, moved to
Kansas, began to look for pros
perity, found none in his old par
ty, lost about all he had, and this
failure to find prosperity induced
him and caused him to change
his political opinions. We suggest
the Republican County Executive
committee meets and reviseS its
chairman's remarks. The excuse
or reason for Hopping is not logi-
cal. He says he had property and
money in West Virginia, which
was then governed by Democrats :
that he moved to a Republican
State and lost it; so the whole
trouble was in Mr.. Anderson
changing his residence from ST.
mon-pure Democratic State into a
G.. O. P State. At least, he
says he found no prosperity in
Kansas, a Republican State. We
