Lincoln as a Lawyer.

Y leader OF the Lincoln party told
the other day In Philadelphia a story
Of the astuteness of Lincoln as a
lawyer.
When Lincoln was practising law"
he said, The had case involving a
disputed will. The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof Of this. For
Lincoln. who had to prove the will a
forgery. things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness. q retired paper manufacsur.
,er, renowned the country over for
his wealth and probity.

Des Moines.--Alderman ]. L. Ham.
merry Of Des Moines was nominated
for governor by the peoples party Of
Iowa at the state convention Of that
organization held at the Iowa hotel
on the 18th. The alderman insists,
however, that he will not be the
partys candidate.
Inc convention was we'll attended.
A large number OF representatives Of
organized labor and members Of the
Independence league co-operated with
the populists in the gathering. The
achievements CO Mr.. Hammery in
lighting to purify the city Of Des
Moines had appealed strongly to the
delegates and when his name was pro-
posed 1t was greeted with genuine en-
thusiasm.
The peoples party congratulates It.
self upon the allegation that many
of its tenets are rapidly being adopted
In our governmental activities by the
old parties in power. The populists,
on the other hand, have no use tor
socialism and challenge the advocates
of that doctrine to debate on the rela-
tive tenets OF the two faiths.
One Of the features of the conven-
ton was the absence Of the Hon. l.
H. Weller of Nashua, dubbed by the
republicans many years ago as "Cal-.
amity" Weller Mr.. Weller is very
sick at his Tome in Nashua. His pop
ulist compatriots sent him a message
Of good cheer in the form OF NOM
ination for supreme Judge. He is still
on his $40 acre farm near Nashua, in
Chickasaw county. He has expended
more than $4,000 in the cause of pop
ulism in the last twelve years and IN
other ways has shown his faith In the
principles OF that organization.

His scheme Worked.

It Is related that certain man was
recently very sad because his wife
had gone out of town on a visit,
which she would not shorten in spite
of his appeals to her to come home.
He finally hit upon plan to induce
her to return. He sent her a copy Of
each Of the local papers with one item
clipped out, and when she wrote to
find out what 1t was he had clipped
out he refused to tell her.
The scheme worked admirably! In
less than week she was home to
find out what 1t was that had been
going on that her husband didn't want
her to know about.-Pittsburg Press.

When Woman Isn't Young.

The report is that local religious
institution which is for young WON.
en-" has drawn the deadline of youth
at IS. Every woman over that age
win be marked %, and requested to
y skiddoo. This Is painful. It is unkind.
What Is worse, 1t is impracticable; We
are glad the task is to be performed
BY women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such a
problem not they. This is simply
another example Of woman's inhu.
manity to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that q woman is as old as she looks
and q man is as old as he feels. Just
now, we say 1t with regret, most wom-
en- look Hike 60 and most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems 4 good one. It is a plain, I'm
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible am
then openly lie about it. There arr
many women who were born during
the rayages OF the civil war who still
claim sweetly to be in the thirties.

stance IN the atmosphere during the
late simmer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change Of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use Of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack Of the disease.
"A large number Of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna trial.
It has proven Of priceless value to
many people.

New Rules for Election.

The Legislature of 1903 made changes
in the election laws so as to prevent
complications concerning distinguish
ed marks on the ballots and to make
clearer other matters involved in
voting.
Section 1911 of the political ccde
now provides that two or more i'm
pressions of the voting stamp in one
square or space shall not make the
ballot void.
Any name written on a ballot shall
be counted for the office under which
it is written, provided that it Is writ
ten in the ''blank column
If voter marks more names than
there are persons to be elected to an
office, or if for any reason it is i'm
possible to determine the voter's
! choice, his ballot shall not be reject
ed.
II voter stamps at the head of one
party column in the circle bearing the
party designation and also in a square
Of the name of any candidate In that
or some other column, or writes the
name of any person for such office ID
the blank column, such act does not
lnvalidate the ballot. but the vote
must be counted for the candidate
opposite whose name the cross is
made, or for the person whose name
is so written in the blank column,
and as to all other offices the ballot
must be counted as u straight vote
tor the party designated In the circle.
But il two or more persons are to
be elected to the same office, and the
voter places a cross opposite the
name of candidate not in the party
column beneath the circle so stamped
or such office, then the ballot cannot
be counted for the candidates for
such office designated in the voters
party column, except IN favor of
stamps a cross.
No mark on ballot which Is un-
authorized by the law shall be held
appears that such a mark was placed

of Identifying the ballot.
If the name of the same person is
printed IN ore than once on ballot as
candidate for the same office, the
placing of the cross opposite such
name in more than one of the differ
Tent places where it Is so printed must
not be regarded as putting dIstin-
gushing mark on the ballot, and
must be counted only as one for such
person.
Under the old law the name could
appear but once. A voter took ex-
ception to that Tple and insisted that
his pane snould appear on the ballot
as often as he had beer nominated by
different parties. That issue went to
the supreme court, which sustained
the electors contention, and the
Legislature, to clear the matter,
enacted in 1893 the law which permits
the name to appear often upon one
ballot, but prohibits counting it
more than once.
