LET US BE MEN.

Early registration is the first
duty # an interested voter. Ev-
cry voter should attend to this by
going TO the court house yourself
and not being escorted there by
some political worker or riding in
a carriage paid for out of the pro-
ceeds Of some campaign slush
fund. This is the first step in as
serting your political duty and in
dependence. After yon are prop
erly registered then 20 to the polls
when the time comes and vote for
the man or set of men who will
study your best welfare and inter
est the year around. In this way
we win respect for the race and
ourselves. Don't be led to the DO
litical alter with the same old halt
er that has been put over our necks
in the past. Pick out the men on
your ticket that will best ser;e the
people and keep in mind that the
man who has a special campaign
greeting for you before the cleo
tion will be SO far from you after
he is safely landed in Office by a
large majority, that you cannot
hand him red apple from home.
The time to make up your mind
and prepare for sensible action is
long time before the political pot
begins to brew.

PAINT FROM ROYAL HEARTS

A correspondent of the Paris Temps
describes the discovery of an-tiIidavit
in the national archives signed Phil
ippe Henri Schunck, a citizen Of
Paris of about the year 1873, who is
certified as having been a good royal
list of unimpeachable character.
His statement is to the effect that
he made the acquaintance Of an art
list named st. Martin, a friend of
revolutionary official who superintend-
ed the opening of monuments in the
Jesuits' church. st. Martin related
that he and another paiater named
Martin Droling were present on the
occasion of the opening of the monu-
ment, their object being to utilize the
royal dust as monte, valuable dark
brown pigment which was then usu-
ally obtained from mummy cases and
ancient tombs.

WEAPONS OF THE OCTVPUS

Both the octopus and the cuttlefsh
have arms that are clothed with
formidable array of suckers which are
wonderful pieces of mechanism. When
the sucker comes into contact with an
object, the central piston, having pre-
viously been raised so as to completely
fill the cavity of the sucker. is at once
withdrawn and a perfect vacuum pro
duced explaining the great ienacity
with which the suckers cling. They
number upward of 100 pairs 20 each
arm Of the octopus, and once they
obtain grip on the victim, unless the
arm is actually torn away from the
body of the octopus 1t is practically
impossible for its prey to dsentangle
itself.

topus has e powerful pair or jaws,

water beats a hasty retreat. 1t is to
escape the too-pressing attention Of
its foes that the octopus possesses the
power of changing its color to correI-

are to investigate and proceed
against those who have not fairly
given in an assessment of their

seriously impaired by the provi-

You are, therefore, assembled in

BABY BURNED.

John Williams, Jr., the three
year-old baby boy of Mr.. John
Williams, of North Wilkinson
street, was playing in room, at
his home, on Wednesday after
noon, when his dress was caught
on fire at an open CRATE. His
mother, who had gone to the yard,
was attracted by his screams and
rushed to his assistance. The
baby was badly burned about the
face and head, and Mrs. Williams
hands and arms were badly burned
also.
DR.. Goodrich was called and
dressed the injuries of both, which
are serious.
