1t is his theory that this viii stop

No one is authorized to speak for
Governor Cummins on the subject, but
1t may be said to be practically Ger

Governor Cummins has no patience

Culture is slower process and a

Of a man. Culture implies a soil

for growth. Information even in vast
quantities, so long as it remains mere
information, used for purposes Of

In an encyclopaedia mine of facts.

When your head is bowed in sorrow
And your soul is out Of tune;
When the Hope Star Of tomorrow
Is behind a cloud OF gloom;
When Morose Imagination
Leads you TO Distractions Brink
In YOUR selfish dissipation
DID you ever stop to think?
Man alive. or woman crazy
With your own Importance shirk;
You are sick. which means too lazy
TO keep well--too strong to work.
Or. it may be you're addicted
To some DEVILS dope or drink,
And alone must stand convicted
Ii youll only stop TO think
I've a broncho; my Fasagus
Is a cyclone on a tear.
But to ride with dope-fed asses
Makes me want to shed some

RAISE you head and fling your sorrow
To the dogs, with dope and drink;
And the sun will shine tomorrow,
If you'll hustle while you think.

water fairly boiled, with the fish dart

ten minutes every fin and the tail of

After that the smaller fish frequent

A chicken-eating bullfrog has been

The fable of the country mouse and
the town mouse has a foundation in
fact, at least in Europe Mice occa-
sionally migrate in large numbers
when food grows scarce and travel
considerable distances to fresh houses.
Farmers in a part of Perthshire had a
good reason to become aware of this
fact when, a couple of years ago vast
swarms of mice invaded their corn
fields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when it
has to- The rat, on the contrary,
seems to take a yearly outing in very
much the same fashion as do human
beings, Rats are the most migratory
creatures in the world. Whole troops
of rats leave the towns at the end Of
summer and spend a month or two in
the country, apparently in order to en-
joy the change of food which the
country affords at that time of the
year Of fresh fruit and grain.
Reindeer migrate with the same reg
ugarity as wallows. They move south
when winter sets in, but as soon as
ever the snow begins to melt they
travel steadily north, sometimes as
much as 900 miles.

eide is o strange a phenomenon that
for a lone tin1o uaturaIiSfS looked IN
on the stories of the migration of the
Jennings as an improbable fiction.

OF years, and the people have been
well served by these men whom they
have chosen. 1t is now that several
Of them come before their constitu-
ents asking for an endorsement of
thei records, which, indeed, are de-
serving of liberal endorsement. The
fact that they have been tried and
have proven efficient is one point in
their favor. In voting for them the
citizen casts his ballot for quantity
that Is certain. In casting about for
some one to take their places the un-
known quantity win have to be Sc
lected.
AS for party reasons, they may be
well known, but should be emphasized.
1t is the party organization that has
enabled the republicans to give the
public such an excellent list of candi-
dates for whom they may have the
privilege of voting. 1t is easy to dis
organize, but it takes the wiser heads
to organize, and it is not easy for
them to do.

serves to strengthen the ranks of the
opponents mercy through disorganiz-
alton in the republican party.
Sometimes the defeat of one candi-
date serves as the entering wedge
whereby others are allowed to follow
simply because the knife was drawn
and for no other reason. To preserve
the party organization of the county,
which is the unit of the state and ma
tional organization, should, especially
at this time, be paramount thing in
this campaign. Unity on the part of
the republicans is important, and
should be so realized by every man
who wishes to be identified with the

COAL SMOKE in CITIES.

A scientific investigator in Cincin'
natl has been trying to arrive at a
definite idea of the amount of SCOT de-
posted in the city in the course of a
year. One of his tests was to place
buckets, three-fourths filed with wat
er, on eleven roofs in different parts
Of the city. At the end of three
months a careful analysis was made
of the contents of the buckets to as
certain the amount of carbonaceous
matter. The final computation is
that in the down town area the falling
SCOT amounts to 541 tons a month, or
eighteen tons daily. On square
mile of the city the SCOT deposit is
III tons a month, or 343,72S pounds
an average of several pounds to each
inhabitant. In one of the suburbs the
SCOT in the bucket was AGA grams to
the square foot for period Of thirty
days. For the same time the deposit
at central point in the city was
22.550 grams to the square foot.
