A Crinple THAT Can Do Things.

A cripple without hands or feet has made the
politicians of Williamstown, Mass, sit up and
take notice by announcing that he will probably
be a candidate for the town Office of Highway
Supervisor at the next town election. He is
William Marshal Field, 81 years of age and a ma
tive of that town.
He recently completed his fifth year as asses
sor, and, although without hands, has won the
distinction of having one of the neatest set of
books ever sent into the State House at Boston
Born a cripple, he has won the title of wizard
of the Berkshires." Now he is to furnish per-
sonally drawn plans for the improvement of the
streets and highways of the town.
Mr.. Field can drive one horse or six. He can
also drive a nail, play baseball, cards and pool,
which is his favorite pastime. He can tie gro
GERS knot as quickly as any man. He also saws
and splits wood, and has just completed the
building of two sleighs deliberately carved and
striped. He can thread a needle and darn
stocking as neatly as any woman on earth, and
for the last six years he has kept cow which
he milks twice day.

THE CANDIDATES on the Republican ticket in
Baltimore county-most ofwhom are canvass
ing quietly among the people-are greatly
pleased with the progress they are making and
they declare that the outlook is most encourag-
ing. So far as the Republicans themselves are
concerned they are practically unit for the
ticket, which is every way satisfactory. Along
with this fact comes the cheering intelligence
that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction
among the Democrats, many of whom do not
hesitate to declare that they intend to split
their ticket on election day, while others who
have always been regarded as straight" say
that they are heartily sick and tired of the old
order of things and that they want to see
change in the Court House. In order that
this may be more effectually accomplished
they declare that they will vote the Republic
can ticket from top to bottom. So with
united party behind them and many voluntary
promises of support from the other side it is
not surprising that the Republican nominees
feel greatly encouraged. They have month
more in which to put In good and earnest
work and they should not miss an opportunity
to drive in spike where it will do the
most good. Victory is in the air.
