Change Of Administration

AS intimated ia these columns last
week Mayor John A. Nash rendered
his resignation to the Council on Mon
day evening and asked To be relieved
of the onerous duties OF the office for
the remainder OF his term which would
expire next spring. His request was
granted with reluctance, and Editor
r.. G.. Spencer was duly chosen To fill
the vacancy. AS the editor of this
paper has not been here long enough
TO have personal knowledge of what
has been done during Mr.. Nash's
several terms as Mayor, he has made
inquiry of number of good citizens,
who speak of his administration in
very Il attering terms. The consensus
of opinion is that he has made a fine
record both in making necessary inn
enforcement of the law. And this
we came here last July.
The appointment of Mr.. Spencer to
fill the vacancy, we understand is done
with the hope that he will continue the
good work for the betterment of the
town in all its departments and in
terests. Mr.. Spencer is capable, ener-
getic, and ambitious, and we fully
expect him to make record as May
or to which he and the best citizens
OF the town can point with pride. In
all laudable efforts to this purpose we
bespeak for him most earnest and
cordial support. The vacancy caused
by removal of w. III. O'Connell from
the city was filled by appointing Mr..
A, III. Roberts whose long and active
service in this community is so we'll
and favorably known as to need no
words of commentator from our pen.
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS-Our Hon. Mayor John A.
Nash has presented to this Council
his resignation as Mayor-THEREFo
be it Resolved by this town Council
of the Inc Town of Audubon that we
duly regret that the private business
of Mr.. Nash renders this step neces-
sary, and that we as individuals and
as Council representing the citizens
of Audubon, tender to Mr.. Nash our
sincere thanks for his wise, impartial
and efficient administration, and thai
this resolution become part of the
records and be published in the Local
| papers. A. f. Beason,

A WOODEN. INTRODUCTION.

How GainshOrough Get Acquainted
.. With ThiclkA0se0.
Gainsborough, the artist, was born
at Sudbury, in England, and there,
says Lord Ronald Cover, he designed
his first work Of art The orchard of
his fathers place had been repeatedly
plundered of fruit. No one knew who
the thief might be until one day young
Gainsborough saw there q rough look
ing man leaning his elbows on the
brick wall. He made a sketch Of the
fellow, and from this portrait the thief
was afterward identified.
Later the boy cut out q rough figure
from wood and painted It In oils In the
likeness of this man. The scarecrow
was known as "Jack Peartree." It
probably represents Gainsborough's
first attempt at working I'm oils.
It was the. means Of introducing the
artist to one Of his most intimate
friends, Thicknesse, the lieutenant gov
ernor of the Landguard fort, near Fps
witch. Thicknesse was one day walk
ing with friend when he perceived
what seemed to be q melancholy faced
countryman, with his arms locked to-
gether, leaning over the garden wall.
He pointed out the doleful figure to
his companion, who, & seems, was ac-
Quainted with it. - .sr s,a ~
HE has been there al day." said the
gentleman. 81 pity him. He must be
either mad or very miserable"
Thicknesse insisted on approaching
the wretched man and to his delighted
surprise found him 30 be Jack Pear
tree. So charmed was he with Jack
that he lost no time In becoming: ac-
quainted with the author Of Jacks be-
ing, with the result e Q warm and
lasting friendship.

ABUSE OF ATHLETICS.


Auscle Bat1dfng Does Not Necessarily

Athletics InlS be good or evil and IN
the same manner as two edged

The prime object in athletics is inl-
provemellt of the general health. One
writer has said that health. like hap
piness, does not exist. He said the
body consists of a number of mechan-
Isns which have tie closest and most
exact relations, and as they approx
mate to harmony there is health, but
when disOrtlered there is i'll health. =,
To obtain good health muscle Build
ing is not necessity. One cannot
Judge of the persons health by the size
and hardness of the muscles. The con
verse may be true. r
To obtain health one must not be in
a perfectly. trained condition owing to
the effects of severe training on the
nervous system. -... ....:
There is no evidence to prove that
athletics and muscle building improve
the constitution. 4 >,
One should always keep In mind the
fact that built up or hypertrophied
muscle has a tendency to- degenerate
The heart, being a muscular organ,
shares in this tendency. .-
In regard to the moral side Of the
question, it remains to be proved that
athletics per Sc corrupt the morals.

letics improve the morals Of commu-
nifty. -.-...-s. >.....s -.-....'.. ..
Although the evidence for and
against athletics IL contradictory, the
whole subject may be summed up by
stating that athletics are beneficial
when properly and judiciously applied
and very injurious when the precau-
lions above mentioned are ignored or
carelessly regarded.-Medical Record.
