She Received Notice.

"A pathetic little incident occurred not long ago, shortly after our company be- gan the winter tour" said a theatrical manager at the Hillman. "A member of the company who had made her debut on the stage short time before was playing a small part that did not give her much to do, but she labored with energy and enthusiasm enough to satisfy the most exactlng star. She was proud of her bud ding career and expected great things in the future, but played night after night and her name was never mentioned in newspaper criticisms of the show.
 "I noticed that the girl was beginning to get disheartened several weeks after we left New York and tried to encour- age her by a little judlcious praise, but she was inconsolable She was working to l support herself and her mother. who was an invalid and unable to travel with the company. Although the girl had prom ised to send back to the mother copies of the papers of each town in which she ap- peared, she did not have the heart to do | it, because she knew that her mother would look for her name In vain and the glowing praise of the critics would be be- slowed on some other member of the com pany.
 "one night between the acts found the girl crying bitterly over a letter which she had just received from home. Her mother berated her for not sending papers she was able to secure. The girl really had talent of a quiet, unobtruslve kind. so l went around to all the newspaper offices l quest asked that the boys give this girl little 'puff. After they heard the story they responded like good fellows, and she was radiant for a week afterward
 "The girl does not have to ask for notice now She is making a great record and will be heard from next year."

Useless Advice.


 T think the most useless direction ever read adorned the face of slot ma chine I discovered In small town in Mississippi" said travelling man last night. The legend read, Put a niekie or a penny in slot and get your correct weight
 Now have been thinking ever since read that notice what was the purpose in saying a .niekle or a penny. People do not usually regard a slot machine as philanthropic contrivance and it is ten to one shot that the man who has penny will put it into the slot in- stead of a nickle for the simple reason that few people care to pay the munifi- cent sum of five cents to have them selves weighed when the service can be secured from dozen machines for only one cent.
 After deliberatlon I came to the con- elusion that the patrons who were exa pected to patronize that particular weigh ing machine were plutoerats who proba- bly, would not have so small coin as a penny in their pockets and the directions were simply to show that niekle would not clog the slot in case penny was not ayailablet,

What the People Want.

Poor roads in this county keep not social joys, and minimize church at tendance. One-half of the roads of the county are dirt" roads, and the other half are in none too good condition. The board of revenue, in other words, have the power when they meet today to benefit the children, and to promote the social and religious condition of the county. Will the board do it?
 Humanity demands that the county convicts be not handed over to con tractors; business sense says in an equally emphatic manner that more can be gotten for the county out of the conyicts by using them on the public roads than in any other disposition of them. Now, why should it not be done?
 The greatest practical blessing that can come to any county Is good foads. We lack good roads now in almost every section of this big county. In some beats the roads are in wet weather impossible. We cannot af- ford to indulge any longer in frontier roads in this populous county, for they are direct injury to all real estate, and indirectly to all other interests.
 The Age-Herald does not abate in the least it's confidence in the good sense and practicality of the members of the board of revenue. It believes they will do what the interests of the county call for, and the citizens de- sire. They will assuredly consider the claims of property owners and of all others who live along our five hun dred miles of highways, and when they do that they will prefer the people to contractors, however insistent and urgent the latter may be.

Impeachment of Judge swayne.

By a vote of 19s to 61 the house of representatives impeached Judge 5wayne of Florida, and appointed a committee made up of men who con- sidered him guilty to carry the im- peachment into the senate. Repre- sentative Clayton is member of that committee, and his views were plainly expressed in the course of the debate over the subject.
 Judge Swayne stands charged with corruption especially in the making of his expense accounts, with tyranny on the bench, and with carpetbagism so pronounced that he spent each year PIP days elsewhere than in Florida, refusing to register or to vote in that state. or to become a citizen of it in any full sense of the word. Delaware is his habitat, and perhaps he will soon be in a position to live alongside Ad- dicks 365 days in the year.
 The senate is strongly republican, and already it is rumored that Swayne's friends in that body are moving to shield him from the i'm peachment If, however, he is tried before the full body of the senate, jus tice will be done. His friends prefer a star-chamber trial before a commit tee of the senate. Such a trial of an impeachment is unknown in the his tory of the country. It is not coun- tenanced by the constitution. But his tory and the constitution count for but little if the Allisons and Aldriches of that body have decided to try the com mittee route. Trial by committee means that Swayne is, if possible, to be acquitted and restored to a seat he scarcely ever occupied, and never filled.
