IN OUR Fluctuations Democrats
should not forget to congratulate
Chairman Ellyson on his splendid
management of the late campaign.
Mr.. Ellyson, with Secretary Button,
planned and arranged the campaign
and made happy appointments for
the speakers. Even Governor elect
Swanson himself was under orders
from the State chairman, and went
wheresoe'er sent. The First Con-
gressional District, and particularly
the Northern Neck section, was wo-
fully lacking in appointments of
Democratic speakers, while flooded
with Republican spell-binders, but
we take this as indicative of the
confidence Chairman Ellyson reposed
In the local workers; and he was not
disappointed. Mr.. Ellyson though
candidate for an almost "empty
honor" had great deal of uni Ist
abuse heaped upon him by the op-
position. He bore it manfully, and
came cut unscathed.

EVIDENTLY the New York Times
is out cunning for the Norfolk Land
mark and the Charlotte Observer
Here is a poser asked 10y one of its
correspondents: according to the
Bible, Methuselah begat Lamech and
lived 7S2 years thereafter. Lamech
lived 1872 years and begat Noah.
Noah was GOO years old when the
food occurred. Was Methu selab
drowned" We hold our breath in
expectancy and for fear of the dis
cussion this will produce, but it is
due humanity that our southern con.
temporaries enlighten the world as to
whether Methuselah was drowned in
the food, or whether the Lord kept
Noah busy while waiting for his
grandfather to throw mp the sponge

seek the players with untiring energy.
Most remarkable is the character OF
the sounds produced in relation to the
instruments played upon. These in
struments seem much too fiimsy TO pro
duce metallic and far reaching sounds.
The sound producing portion OF the
wings is unlike the musical instru-
ments Of man. But the frightened.
parchment-like sounding board and the
manner in which the wings are scraped
together correspond somewhat TO a
cts proper the wings are raised almost
or quite vertically while STIMULATING.
With the locusts the sound producing
organs are elevated, so as to permit
scraping motion.
Always the musical organs are at
tached to the fore wings. The hind
wings are used only for flying. The
fore wings Of the cricket are for the
most part taken up by the sound pro-
ducing, tightly stretched portion. This
part is strongly but openly veined, and
the toothed vein or bow extends en-
tirely across this horizontal portion
near It's base. The roughened edge,
where the toothed bow scrapes. Is upon
the inner margin. The right and left
fore wings are precisely alike. SO that
either may be used for the bow or the
fiddle.-Chicago News.

This is the test Of your manhood.
How much is there left in you after

simple Bzrometcrs.

Country people have 4 great contempt
for those who cannot tell what the
weather is going 70 be till they have
looked at their expensive barOmeters
or seen the weather indications in the
morning paper. They have so many
simple ways OF finding out what they
wish 20 know about the weather and
are so accustomed 10 doing this that
they make the observations almost me
chanically. Ask one OF them how To do
this, and he VIII give you long list OF
simple weather gauges. For instance,
If you are smoker look at your cigar
tip. If IL burns with n clear, red glow
