duige themseIves in ending their little
comments with the phrase, this is
Democratic year, The Sentinel, which
il one OF the strongest Democrattic
papers in the state, and we might say
quite partisan, does not let its par
tisanship oyer+hadow its bitter Judgment
as evidenced by the fact that it does
not believe Henry G. Davis has the
slightest chance Of being elected vice
president, and when it holds such an
opinion as to Davis it has The same be-
lief as 10 Parker, as there is not one
chance IN ten Thousand of one being
elected and not the other. In speak
ing OF Davis, the Sentinel refers to him
a. a vice presidential possibility with a
question mark following, which used in
that way signifies that even the mean
ing Of the word possibility in this con
nection is something suPerlatiyely
doubtful, or in plain words means inn
possibility as the question mark gives
it the word possibility an opposite
meaning, which interpreted in plain
English is ''impossibility.n

Short, the nominee of the Democratic
ring for sheriff, is spending much of his
time here just now comforting with
them, and more star-chamber meetings
are scheduled, because of the fact that
the Prohibition county convntion is aT-
preaching. The Democratic clique long
since determined to work the Prohibit
tion party for its benefit. Even as far
buck as last January the star chamber
system was adopted to accomplish this
end.

In its analysis of the vote of part of
the Democratic convention, the Demo
cratic organ merely more clearly demon
stratcs that it was the plan from the
first to nominate Short, but the clique
Thought it best to conceal its purpose
by scattering its votes some. Great
care was taken, however, to get its clans
together on the spur Of the moment,
when it saw that Fighter was likely to
pull through. Some more analysing,
such as the Democratic clique organ in
dulges itself in will result in giving the
thing entirely away.

CLIQUE WANTS TO HIDE.

The News, in its efforts to deny the
existence of its master, appeals TO Web
ster, and says according to Webster,
clique means party" But Webster
defines "clique" a. "a narrow circle u
persons associated by common in.
tcrcsts.". Webster would thus call
tne narrow litttle circle OF Demo
cratic sehemers and tricksters who
have undertaken to dominate the
Democratic party and who are try
ing to break into and perPetunte tlicm-
selves in Office for no ones good but
their own.

term CLIQUE" as applied to this ex-

Democrats who came to the conven-
tion and saw know there is now the worst
Democratic ring that has ever been in
the county. And yet one or two Demo
crats have been in office by appointment
and so on less than two years. Just
think what it would he, if they had alb
solutc control and could be in Office q

The News says it is willing to let the
Prohibition party show the country
what it can or can not do, and yet the
night before it said thas one of the nom
inecs of the Democratic party was busy
addressing a Prohibition rally with a
single purpose in view and that purpose
was not to let the Prohibition party
show the country what it can or can
not do.

The Democratic organ took half a
column to detrnet attention from the
declaration that Democrats are accusing
the clique of having bought votes in the
county convention, but not once did it
attempt to deny the charge. The reason
IS very good. That sheet itself believes
the charge and its editor was one of the
loudest howlers after the convention
was over.

Liquors Add TO Exhaustion.

medical attention that may be needed, but
afford to science fund of information on
the physiology of physical endurance in
man. In the medical report of the last
Marathon run the doctors state:
Contestants were examined as usual
before the start and after the finish, spe-
ial attention, being paid to blood pressure
and to refexes. The results shows that
both these were, in a majority Of cases,
diminished. The hearts, pulse rates and
weights were affected much as in previous
years.
Two cases Of severe exhaustion were oh.
served, in both of which alcohol in excess
had been given by trainers and friends.
1t is questionable whether even email
amounts of alcohol are beneficial to the
runners, and it is certain that large
amounts more than one or two ounces
are distinctly harmful to them; instead OF
increasing their strength, the free use OF
whisky or brandy actually adds to their
exhaustion and depression"

Where They Differed.

Barbour Lathrop, the champion
talker of Bohemia, has left for the
East Indies and will not be back be-
fore the summer. His departure leaves
an aching silence in the Bohemian
Club. At the last low jinks Abe Hur
said to one of the minor characters:
Stop talking for minute, can't you? ?
Do you think you're Barbour La
throp?" This was not the first refer
ence that had been made in the club
to Lathrop's chatterbox proclivities.
At one Of the club Christmas trees he
was presented with the jawbone Of an
ass. to which Lathrop instantly replied
that the difference between himself
and Samson was that while Samson
slew his thousands with the jawbone
of an ass, he Nathrop) had slain thou
sands Of asses with the jawbone Of
man. And it was decided that Lathrop
had scored one.-San Francisco Town

We Are All " Just Folks"

out for a career in an Eastern city;

which may be of help to you. You
get up there, and yGt may see a heap
Of people who have got more money
than you have; a heap of people who
have got more brains than you have,
and more success. Some of them may
even be better looking than you are.

you be scared of anybody. Whenever
you meet man who allows he's your

to yourself, After all, you're just

Singular Birth Mark of a Family.

Mrs. Belle Harvey, of Bowers Mill,
is one of family Of four living at that
place, each Of whom has a curious
birthmark. The family consists OF
three sisters and baby two years old.
Each has black hair, with large lock
Of pure white hair beginning over the
forehead and running backward. The
flesh under this hair also is white, and
the white mark runs down upon the
forehead. The entire mark is said to
look like an ostrich plume laid over the
head Of the Learer. The three sisters
are twenty-three, twenty one and nine
teen years old. The mark is said to be
hereditary in their family. - Kansas

Little Men as Soldiers,

1t is announced that the United
States recruiting station here will con-
tinue to accept young nen five feet
four inches high as recruits and will
not for the present require them to
touch the mark at five feet seven. 1t
is pleasant to know that three inches
makes not the slightest difference in a
mans ability to discharge q Krag-Jor-
gensen; and from time immemorial
hasn't it been maintained that little
man is more pugnacious than big
one? Little men are more high-tem-
pered; they will fight quicker and
longer.
1t is easy to comprehend why they
do it. 1t is because they won't be put
on" They fear that you labor under
the impression that because they are
small they are not as likely to main
tain their rights with the same firm
ness as bulkier man; and they mean
to undeceive you.-Globe-Democrat.

Corrosion by Sea Winter.

The corrosion of metals by sea water
has been investigated by a German en-.
gineer named Diegel. Alloys of cop
per nickel are not very readily cor
roded, and are rendered more immune
by adjacent masses of copper alloys,
iron or copper, these protectors being
then more rapidly corroded Copper
zinc alloys are corroded either by a
uniform solution Of the alloy from the
surface or when the zinc exceeds twen-
ty-foar per cent. by teaching out of
the latter. but by the addition of fifteen
per cent. nickel this action is pre-
vented.
