opened and read aloud The player

rectly is sometimes given prize.

Why do you ask the teacher or some

TO do your sums" for you. says the
Northwestern Christian Advocate.
Do not ask the teacher to parse all
the difficult words or to assist you in
the performance Of any of your duties.
Do it yourself. Do not ask for even

Every trial Increases your ability,

the very wisdom and strength gained
in this effort. even if at first the
problem is far beyond your skill 1t
is the study, not the answer, that real

like everybody is going to vote for

pretty straight that about every
man in Ward will vote for Dan.
One enthusiastic soul wanted to
vet ten d"'iers thrt Dan Soliday
will carry Ward township, but the
offer went begging. There were
better chances than that for the
other fellows money. Anyhow
Dan will get nice vote there, and
"a good vote in every precinct in
the county. He will be elected by
a great majority, and the people
can congratulate themselves on
voting for SO good man. Mr..
Soliday is getting over the county
as best he can, but the weather
and mashed toe handicap him a

the White Faction judges and

and Frazure for the others.
Also, there came a contest from
Ward Township, where the
"Square Dealers" had nominated
by primary a township ticket, and
then the White Faction had held
convention and nominated another
ticket. After duly considering
both sides, the Board of Election
put on the ballot the so-called
"Square Deal" township ticket,
beaded by Mr.. CLANCY, for Trus-
tee, the vote of the Board being
three to one. The Board held the
opinion, that ticket nominated
by primary election where all
members of political party had a
right to vote, was more honest and
legal, than ticket nominated by
a rump convention.

made in the contest for Sheriff
They squeal about George Will
Hanson and say that he is going
to appoint his relative, a Chilcote,
as deputy sheriff if he is elected.
That George is not going to move
here, etc. Well, such slop is the
calibre of the fight that is being
made against him. Mr.. Els Chill
cote is chronically ill, and will
never be well, while his brother
operates the Spoke Mill at Laurel
vile. George Williamson could
not appoint better men than the
Chilcotes for deputies, but he is
not going to do that, and they
could not accept it. He will
move to Logan, of course, and be
the Sheriff himself, if he is elect
ed, and be Chuck Armstrong; =
nearest neighbor and good one.

Weymueler is defeated, and his

will make the board all Republi-

and contractor. Fred Weymuel-
ler was coal miner nearly all his
life and they will vote for him,
and thus have a representative in

in a one-horse chaise, Boss John

at the Court House, the buzzing
bees of the perpetual" faction,
headed by Holy Moses Strawn,
would hover around the detained
chaise, like hirelings around the
court of st. James, and almost
block the street. Now comes the
query. Since Bill Lay has leis-

over the political corpse of sena-
tor Albelly in Third Ward, Logan,
when he comes riding up street in
his one-horse chaise, will the fel.
lows gather around him and greet

Pleading, Not Campaigning.

1t is hardly worth while to talk
about the relative manner of cam
paignin9 used by Probate Judge
Martin and his opponent, MIR.

meut to try to conyince the public
to take stand for Judge Martin,
for a vast majority of the voters
of Hooking County understand
the ridiculous pleadiDgs of MIR.
Whitcraft, and will elect Judge
Martin with an increased MAORI
ty over his victory of three years
ago.
Mr.. Whitcraft's campaign is
more on the order of pleading,
than it is in presenting arguments
If poverty is any argument in ia
vor OF candidate, then many oil
us should be President of the
United States, and Judge Martin
included. Ii "a man has no better
argument to present to the people
why he should be elected to office
than that he "needs the money
the general public will say, "Why
yes, Mr.. Whitcraft, we all need
the money, and we go out and
work for it, and if that is youl
only platform, you can work also
and make your living" If it il
the money Harley is after, "tC
keep the wolf from the door,
there is no trouble about his get
ting that. 1t is positively stated
that his backing" has put uI
eight or nine hundred dollars as {
