gratulations and cordial support. This
being the first instance in the history
otthis county that we have been honor
ed with district nomination or elect
ion, our people took fresh courage, be-
living that the time had arrived to push
our just claims. Every honorable
means will be put forward to secure
the support of Clinton and Elk in favor
of Judge Green's nomination and
election.
The Republican party of this district,
as we'll as other districts, believe in
keeping the judiciary out of politics,
therefore declined to nominate can
didate against the late Judge Mayer.
Now that the Governor has filled the
vacancy on the bench with an able
gentleman, clean and learned law

dorse the wise course of Governor
Pennypacker by making Mr.. Green
the popular candidate of both parties.

But the journals all appeared in

Margaret as the most incredible thing
in the world to have happened to her.
The statue was a spontaneous thought,
and it found spontaneous action. While
her people We're still talking about

almost before she was gone she was
there again before the asylum she had
built, sitting on her same old chat
that everyone knew so we'll, dressed in
the familiar calico gown, with her lit

old shawl she wore every day, but
the pretty one Of which she was SO
proud, which the orphans crocheted for
her.

them pulled the cords that held the

The Greatest Woman.

Some time ago 200 clubwonlen in one
of the central states were asked the
question. who is the greatest woman
in history"
The question certainly is not a new
one-one wonders sometimes how
many centuries old it really is-and
the answers included names of women
whose commanding intellect, personal
humanity, have made them famous the
world over. Yet the prize answer held
the name of none of these. This is
the way it read:
The Wife of the man of moderate
means who does her own cooking,
washing and ironing, brings up a large
family of girls and boys to be useful
members of society and finds time for
her own intellectual and moral im-
provement is the greatest woman in
all our history"
Probably many tired housewife,
reading the answer, has though GRIM
ly that the woman who does her own
housework, brings up a large family
and finds time for her own intellectual
and moral improvement" deserves to
be called the greatest woman in his
tory. Probably she is even guilty of a
passing wish that the writer of the
paragraph in question might try for
herself and see how much time she
would find for intellectual and moral
Improvement. Yet, although provoca-
tive of possible irritation, the prize an
swer has comfort too. In the natural
course of things to be the "greatest"
woman in history must be solitary
glory, but one may fall short of such
distinction and yet make the world
the richer for a life of toll not forget
full of ideals. The comfort lies in the
fact that more and more the work of
the house mother-rich or poor pro-
vided only that the heart and hands
give glad service-is. taking the first
place in the worlds honor list.
