HERRN. MAXEY AND
ELMORE SPEAK.

Last Monday afternoon the
three candidates for prose-
cutting attorney, Hons. Thos. l..
Herrn Of this place and Robt.. B.
Maxey and Chas. E. Elmore OF
Fulton county, spoke to a crowded
house at the court building.
Mr.. Herrn was the Grst speak
er, and he entertained the crowd
for. several minutes in his usual
happy style. He declared that
he was making this race under
peculiar circumstances, in one
respect at least. He declared
that Dave King is not on his
trail in this campaign, and con-
cluded by saying that he is pro-
foundly glad of it. Mr.. Herrn
promised faithful service to the
Sixteenth circuit if elected pros
ecuting attorney.
Col. Maxey was the next
speaker. He told Of some Of the
things he accomplished for the
county while he was formerly
prosecuting attorney, and made
some comparisons Of his RECORD
with those Of former incumbents
Of this office, which spoke well
for his service.
Judge Elmore followed Col.
Maxey and made some vigorous
attacks upon the official conduct
of the latter. Mr.. Elmore said if
elected he would give the
office close and conscientious at
tention.
Col. Maxoy followed III a re-
joinder in which ne explained
Judge Elmore's charges against
his official career to the apparent
satisfaction of his friends.

He Wasn't "Dear."

madam! Won't you take this seat?,
inquired little wrinkled man Of a
large woman who had just entered
crowded street car on Indiana ave
nue. He arose from his seat and tip-
ped his hat in humble sort of fashion.
The woman seated herself.
Come here, dear, and sit on my
lap" she wheezed in thin voice.
"Why, ah-ah-I-I-" The LITTLE
man was embarrassed. His face red
dened and he bowed and stammered.
The woman leaned over and repeated
what she had said. The little man
turned and retreated to the platform

big as medium sized rat rushed I'D

He paused. The consul nodded COM
prenendingly.
''Still l wrote encouraging letters"
Brant went on. Things would
straighten themselves out, told my
self. But they didn't. / began to go
down hill. l didn't realize how thor
oughly 1 had lost my grip; and 1 went
right on sending letters to her, telling
her how well was getting on; until
at last l was on the beach,"
Brant paused again. The strain Of
this narration was beginning to tell on
him. He wiped the beads Of perspira-
ton from his forehead with q grimy
bandana.
II sent the last Of those letters three
months ago, he said earnestly. MAN
alive! l sat on the beach, penniless,
an outcast beach-comber, and I wrote
her how tremendously well I was get
ting along. and that as soon as could
find minutes leisure I should come
back to her. Even then didn't real
ize it fully. I thought l could pull
back to responsibility again"
"You certainly were optimistic said
the consul grimly.
Optimism is chronic disease in
this God-forsaken country" said
Brant you drift straight to ruin,
dreaming great dreams and hoping
great hopes"
He thrust his hand into the pocket
Of his ragged trousers and drew out a
letter
'.This," he said, "came by the last
fruit steamer-the one that goes on
further south. It's from her. She says
that as 1 can't leave my work-imag-
inc my work!Lto come to her, she
is coming down here to marry me-
She is coming on the Southern Cross,

you've written her not to come, of
course" said the consul with convic-
ton.
Brant smiled YEARLY.
"You forgot the steamer this letter
came on two months ago doesn't stop
on its way north. There is no mail
north until tho Southern Cross goes
back. She is coming tomorrow"
Good Lordv' said the consul ex-
citedly, as the truth Of tho matter
dawned upon him.

termination than the consul dreamed

The Rhyme of the Ooglyoos.
In the forest deep when the winds are
still,
When the owlets boot to the whip-poor
will,
When the cato til -nine-tails wakes and
walls,
Tanning the air with superfuous tails,
In the nights sublime
OF the summers prime,
When the dog-star has such Sirius
time
When the man in the moon wears a
wicked leer,
Cor the moon is full that time Of the
year,
When shivery shakes creep up your
spine,
Cat least am certain they creep up

When little boys dread
To go to bed,
In the ghostly garnet overhead a

dear,
In such mysterious time O. the year,
There gathered beneath those forest
trees
The things one reads of but never sees.
The Jabberwock and the Hoo Hoo, who
Lives way off on the Kalamazoo,
Smoking the weed that the Choo-choos
chew!
The Guffaw came with the Parley-voo,
The Thingumbob and the Oogly-oo,
The sad Whangdoodle too was there,
Beating his breast in dank despair,
The Alibazan,
The Catamaran.
The Hullaballoo and the Bogey-man.
But the wierdest thing of all Of them
Was the forty seventh Theorem,
Who certainly was beyond doubt
The coolest proposition out!
His words just froze
And dropt to his toes,
So his words had weight, you may well
suppose!
o, 1t made the Hoo Hoo SILVER and
shake,
To hear the voice Of his old friend break!
And the words of the Theorem froze his
blood,
AS they broke and fell with an icy thud;
While the Theorem
Explained to them
How he once loved Boston girl
ahem!
Then pale light touched the horizons

And the freely doused his glilnmering
glim,
While the wailing wind went "oo-woo-
co."
AS they often had heard the Dodo do.

Wished he were back on the Kalamazoo,
And | wish he had stayed there myself,

to be given as an antidote. 1t was
only the unexpected success Of the
treatment which caused it to be dis

Woman Sells Farms.

| w Oudn OSllS II dI1uSs
| Woman's ability to sell farms and
induce city people to move to them,
no matter how far away they are, is
proved by the experience Of Chicago
woman school-teacher, according to the
story an Illinois land agent tells He
says one of the women teachers in
chicago schools made $1,000 i'll com
missions during her vacation last year,
selling farm lands in a far Northern
/ country. This woman is not only a
good talker, dresses and looks well,
but she seemed to know just what
families or heads of families to select.
In each case they were the best
| adapted, according to her view of the
matter, to farming, and as a result
some of them are on their farms and
have crops growing. She did not sell
to women particularly, but to men who
are good judges of land.
She had one advantage in taking up
the country in which she was selling
land She had herself invested in a
quarter section. She knew what is
raised there, what class of people go
to that locality, and something about
the weather Of the region, acquiring
a familiarity with so many features
she was able to answer almost any
question asked Of her. Not long ago.
among party that left Chicago on
an evening st. Paul train, at least half
were Chicago persons whom she had
induced to go north and look at the
country in which she herself had in
vested her earnings.
1t is told by those who are in a po-
sition to know that women make good
homesteaders and stick to claim until
it is proved up and number of i'm
provements made. A Sycamore Qll)
girl proved up a claim in North Pa
kota, taught school at the same time
and finally won banker for a hus-
band, all in the same deal.
About two years ago, when the
Southwestern railroads were develop
ing and reaching out to a new section
of Oklahoma, two young women Of
Manitowoc, Wis, got the homestead
fever and started off for that now
promising land. They were in the
rush, and each got a claim. These
girls are now at their homes in Mani
towoc on a visit. They staid down il
the territory until they had perfected
their claims and made a number o.
improvements. The land, in the face
Of sure statehood to the territory, has
already become valuable.
The names of this plucky pair are
Mary Trestik and Matilda Meyer.
Both are under %, and neither had
been away from home until they start
ed off to new country, where they
now have together 800 acres Of the
finest farming land of the Middle
West.-Chicago Tribune.

men. No simple South Sea islander
who has never been beyond his island
OF palms, could be more easily gulled
than women who have lived in the
center of civilization, illumined by a
daily press, all their lives.
Now the newspapers are trimming
with the ever-recurrent tale of women
who have intrusted their savings to
the first smooth-tongued scoundrel who
discovered they had any and were
worth robbing. We find the present
Mormon proselytizing mission, which
would come to an end at once were it
not for the credulity of their women
converts.
In recent case, more amazing still,
a young woman of rank and position
married, without the smallest inquiry,
an Individual who masqueraded under
preposterous title (Which the first
glance into the "Almanach de Gotha'
would have demolished), and who told
still more preDosterous fairy tale Of
being the son of one of the reigning
sovereigns of Europe. If such tale
had found credence in the ears of
scullery maid it would have been sur
prising enough; that it should have
been believed, without title Of proof,
to the point of marriage by a woman
who had enjoyed education and social
advantages would seem impossible
were it not for the incontroyertible
fact that women are ever fond believ-
ers.
The feminine tendency to 'srush their
fences as soon as they are attracted
in any way seems proof against all
the repeated knocks Of experience
given by civilization to women; and it
is the certainty of encountering this
characteristic in ninety per cent of
womankind that makes the careers Of
Adventures SO remarkably easy and
pleasant. Chicago Journal.

II have" said man who has more

about twenty years With constant
use for so long time considerable

loose from their binding, which is M
more than might be expected; but ]

ton, those broken leaves all lie be-

exception being some loose leaves
found within the compass Of the let

'sIf other words, so far as can tell
by the loose leaves il, the book, and I
have no reason to doubt their evidence,
the words that have had occasion to

have commonly opened it at the middle

am convinced that it accounts for
them, If at all, in slight measure only,
for when come to think this matter
over little I find that I very rarely

shown by the loose leaves there, in the
