Oldest Ale House In England.

The oldest licensed village ale house
in England is claimed to be the George
inn, in North st. Philip. The license
dates from 1907. Each story of the
picturesque old structure overhangs
that beneath. The front is broken by
bay windows, a porch and a flight Of
stone steps leading to a doorway In
the wall. At the back are more quaint
doors and windows, and turret built
against the wall tncloses an outside
stair, while in the yard still remains
part Of the old gallery found in so
many hostelries of the middle ages.
A curious chimney surmounts each
gable.-London Answers

Keen Sense of Humor.

"There Is nothing like a sense Of
humor," said a naval officer according
to the Philadelphia Bulletin. 'Tn
woman, In a soldier, in a sailor, In a
clerk, a sense of humor is help and
a blessing through life. At the same
time even a sense of humor may exist
in excess. l, for my part, shouldn't
care to have SO great sense of humor
as a British soldier I once heard about.
This soldier was ordered to be dogged.
During the fogging he laughed con-
tinually. The lash was laid on all the
harder, but under the rain of blows the
soldier laughed.
"'What are you laughing atp the
sergeant finally asked.
"'Why,' the soldier chuckled, I'm
the wrong man."
A Cause of Righteous wraun.
Perhaps the most striking instance
of what unnecessary ringing at the
doorbell can produce In the way of
evaporation is to be seen In the word
ing of a notice on brass plate in a
street leading out of a we'll known
west end square. 1t Is on the door Of
the corner house, and this is how 1t
runs: This house Is No. 64A -
street, and not No. 13 - square. That
house is round the corner Do not ring
here" One can dimly imagine the
state of nervous madness to which that
householder was reduced before he sat
down to compose that notice.-London

 There Is a romance connected Wit" her going. It seems that for sometime this young lady has been writing to Francis.

 She consented and on Thursday al! alone she left her Blob county nom for the far north.

THE DAhhNABLE METHODS OF THE MACHINE

The law, Sec. 500 Of the Code, provides that
candidates who file for nomination shall, thru
the county auditor have their names published
for % days before the primary election.
J. ". Fabrick. the county auditor and the
machine candidate for reelection, has failed to
comply with this provision Of the code.
Is this action OF the machine we'll thought
ont and deliberate plan to disfranchise the
voters Of the county OF Ward? If So what do
you think OF it? When the attention OF the ma
chine manager, Alfred Blaisdell, and Others,
vas called to this 1ereliction on the part Of
their Auditor today they simply said the ma

Now voters, what does this mean-simply
that the machine minions, realizing the hope
lessness OF their case, when it comes to securing
votes have resorted to this underhanded and
most despicable piece Of partisan politics to
achieve their ends.
The Machine as everyone knows, is unscru-
pulous and corrupt, and their only hope is to
rely on the machine to name the delegates from
Ward county-which they would do should the
election of June 18th. prove to be illegal.
This is the old method OF rule or ruin OF the

There is no question but what 80 per cent
OF the people OF Ward county are in favor Of the

Now, are you, Mr.. Taxpayer and voter, in

Now, as a rebuke to the Machine, why not
go to your place OF election on June 10Th and

The people are against the Hansbrough-
