: Frank NoeSman has threatened suit
to prevent J. l.. Whitaker, his sue
cessor as County Game Warden,
drawing salary under an interpreted
ton of the late law held to mean that
all county officers shall be elected.
The plea is purely technical one. as
Mossman drew the salary, as an APP
pointive officer, Il couple of years or
more A late announcement is to
the effect that the suit may be ADAM
doncd. as the County Commissioners
have directed Sheriff Connolly to APP
point Mr. Whitaker as his deputy,
and enable them to pay his salary
from the game protection fund.
The Supreme Court has declared
the anti-trading stamp law of 1905
unconstitutional after nearly all its
patrons. hereabOuts at least, had dis
carded their use as veXatiOuS, an
moving and altogether unsatisfactory
The late law, which becomes effective
on June l4th, does not attempt to
prohibit the use of stamps, but COM
pelS the companies issuing them and
the merchants using them to re-

will be upheld by the courts and will

was open to fraud without some such
provision.
A meeting is to be held in the
Miller High School building to-mor-
row at 2 p. NJ, to consider the matter
OF manual training in the public
schools. That matter simply re-
solves itself into this proposition:
Athletic exercise is good if it does
not become mania. Healthy bodies
produce mental vigor, and it should
be directed along lines that produce
the best results in both. When,
however, more attention is given to
securing the plaudits of the fans"
than approval of teachers, it may be
well to consider what constitutes
true manhOod-brawn or brain, and
which should embody the con-
trolling force of educatiOn-the head
or the heels. 1t is here that the
golden mean has especial application.
George II. Thomas Post w. r. c.

The District Convention of Pyth-
ian Sisters, composed of six Temples,
held very enjoyable session at
Pythian hall, Tuesday. The visitors
were well entertained by the sisters
of Capital Temple No. 43. Lunch
was served at noon, while the pro-
ceedings ended with a splendid ban
quet at the hall in the evening.
Captain c. V. Savidge sang a solo
while Miss Clara Lasityr presided at
the piano. The applause was so pro-
nounced, that brother Knight re-
sponded to an encore. A prize was
awarded to Mrs. Paul Neuffer for her
proficiency in the work of the de-
gree. The Temple has q splendid
ladies drill corps, which is credit
to Pythianism. They know how to
make the floor work interesting and
instructive, and how to serve good
viands. If testimony is needed refer
ences can be had by consulting
Messrs. Thos. F. Connolly, w. T.
Cavanaugh, J. M. Hit, Byron Mil
lett, c. S. Wilcox and other Knights.
