Has an effort been made in the small
country towns TO pad the registration
books in the interest OF the Repub-

The enthusiastic and aggressive
leaders OF the Democratic -Independ-
ent coalition intend TO keep the Re-

Having started their campaign by

and able candidate for United States
senator, they may nominate their
state and assembly tickets the latter
part OF September or the first week

campaign a fortnight or more earlier
than the Republicans and forcing the
issues
Astute Democratic leaders can see
nothing but the very strongest in
dications OF success at the fall cleo

only upon the increased registration.

Frances, a girl of 13, was destined
by her mother to be a fine musician.
While still a little child she was
taught to read the notes, and her
tiny fingers were placed on the key
board. Year in and year out the
child was obliged to practice, and
she acquired measured amount of
skill, but her playing was wooden
and spiritless. In despair, her moth.
er said to her: What do you ex-
pect to be when you are grown up?"

up for kindling wood. 1 want to be

ERA OF BIG THINGS.
Skill and Talent Command Greater
Rewards Than Ever in
Worlds History.

In these days the surgeon who is
master of his science receives fees
which would have startled the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee of
$4,000 is not uncommon for an op-
GRAFTON which can be performed in
comparatively little time OF course,
$4,000 is not the maximum fee.
There are cases, it is stated, in
which as much as $25,0OO has been
paid. When life is hanging by a
thread the question of fees is i'm
material. The average man will give
all that he has, if required, to get a
new lease of life through the sur
geon's skill. A famous throat spe-
Icialist was once summoned from
London to treat the father of the
present kaiser. He remained only a
few days after making a diagnosis.
He rendered no bill, but it is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half a years
earnings of the specialist, who had a
very large income from his profes-
sion. Even the literary man receives
large fees for his work Mr.. John
Morley, it has been stated, was paid
$50,000 to write the Life of Glad
stche." Certainly, great skill and
talent never commanded greater re-
wards than they do now. 1t is an era
of big things.
