REPUBLICANS LOSE SHERIFF.

A very light vote vas polled in this
county Tuesday, which caused the
loss of sheriff to the republicans. The
balance of the county ticket, as we'll
as the state ticket went through with
good majorities.
The democrats evidently considered
the Office OF sheriff to be the only one
they could land. They therefore con-
centrated all efforts upon that Office.
In this they were aided by a number
of republicans who openly opposed
their own party nominee.
Following is a statement of major
tiles given by the different precincts:

"There's many a slip between the cup and
lip" is another phrase which has an interesting
little bit of history attached to it. Ancaeus, one
of the ancient Kings of Samos ian island in the
Grecan Archipelago treated his slaves with
great cruelty. One of them, under sentence of
death for some slight msdemeanor in connec-
ton with vineyard the King was having made,
cursed the King thus MAY you never live to
drink the wine from your vineyard" The King
instantly ordered him to be thrown into dun
geon until the vineyard completed, that he
might behold the failure of his prophecy, and
then be put to death The time came; the wine
cup stood ready to the Kings hand. The slave,
nanacled and bound, was brought in to behold
the futility of his curse. Looking the King
sternly in the face-strong in the knowledge that
he had no more to lose-that his life was al
ready forfeited-he cried "Know now, 0 King,
there's oft a slip between the wlne-cup and the
lip!" Hardly had he spoken when the message
came tnat herd of wild boars had broken into
the new vineyard. Selling their spears the hrng
and his warriors rushed to the vineyard, where
the King, stumbling over root, was torn by the
huge tusks of one of the wounded brutes and
died before the enraged monster was finally over

light and careless household phrase.

slate does not collapse like wax with the applica
ton of moderate heat; and even if cracked by
fall, might still be used if its frame stout
enough to stand the shock. 1t is not surprising
therefore, that the slate, when once introduced
into the school and domestic life, soon became
popular.
But slate is also a good roof covering, and has
been used for this purpose for eight centuries
at least Thing, which still holds its own to a
large extent partly on account of the inartistic
appearance Of the modern slated roof, was prac-
tically universal in the towns of the ancient
world which came under the influence of Greece
and Rome. 1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that as time went on builders reduced
the thickness of their states.
Whether this was due to reasons of economy
for heavy states need to have solid timbers be-
meath them-or to other considerations, the fact
remains that the states used in the cheap house
of the present day have very cheap appearance.
The difference is clearly seen by contrasting the
flimsy look of a jerry-built suburban villa with
the massive solidity of an old slate roof farm
house which has weathered the storms of CEN
turies.

when travelling was done by means OF stage

staff of servants poorly paid and overworlled.
The guests of the house, desirous of catching
the Royal Mail Coach, due probably to pass the
inn at $50 A. NJ, were wont to leave orders
over night that they might be awakened at such
and such time; that breakfast was to be pre-
pared and their bill ready. A small box was
