The nomination of VIM. ii. Maug-
han Jr. as the candidate from the
south is but the fitting reward of a
life devoted to the cause of republi-
canism, and devoted unselfishly. Mr..
Vaughan has always been active in
the affairs of the G.. o. p at Wells
vile and has been highly instrument
tai in bringing the organization there
to a high state of perfection. Mr..
Maughan's education and experience
is such that he can fulfill his duties
with honor to himself and credit to
his constituents, and his honor
and tegrity is above re-
proach. Mr.. Vaughan comes of that
family which was most active in the
early settlement of Cache valley, and
that he is honored now is but just.
This candidate knows his constituents
well, he knows the state and he knows
the nation well enough to be repub-
lcan. He will make great race and
win.

Would IL Be Wise?

1t is conceded that the Democrats
are not on record on the tariff question.
This being the case, would ii not be
unwise to trust tariff revision TO the
party opposed to the principle of pro,
lection, the result being practically
free trade, bringing industrial depres-
sion, hard times and the inevitable
lowering of prices on farm productsY

for there were watches shaped like
books, pears, butterflies and tulips.
The Nuremburg egg was a special
shape and was first made in 1900.
Those queer shapes of watches pre-
vented their finding a place in the
pocket. When was the fob first used
in the dress of man? The German fob
is "fuppe' and it is believed that it
came from Europe through the puri-
tan, whose dislike for display may
have induced them to conceal their
timekeepers from the public gaze
This conjecture is strengthened by
the fact that a short fob" chain at
tached to a watch of Oliver Crom-
wells in the British museum is, in
point of date, the first appendage of
the kind known. The watch is small
oval one in a silver case, and was
made about 1925 by John Midnall Of
Fleet street.

made large profits from his writings
and won a success which seldom comes
to a writer as early as it did to him,
he left his family in very straitened
circumstances, and if it were not for
the many stanch friends in the Ameri-

would often find it difficult to make
both ends meet. With her children
she has made her home in Bayswater

capacity for work seems endless and
her love of music is as much of an in

to bring into the family purse. 1t Is
extremely difficult to get hearing on
the concert stage in London, where
only the well-known artists are invited

ORIGIN OF WORD PICNIC.

the matter by a recent article, in
which II was stated that the deriva-

IN London Notes and Queries of 1858
2tempts were made to trace its origin.
One correspondent says: Under a
French form the word appears in a
speech Of Robespielre "C'est lei quill
dost ma'accuser, ct non dams les

ours in one of Lord Chestertield's let

writer of the same date tries to trace

brusquely reappeared- Poison has become fash
ionabe once more. For crime has its fashion;
