As matters stand now, 1t Is only
work of an hour or two for some lady
to take the lead in The Enquirers sub

nicely. The outlook Is that they Will

The experience of last Monday in the
office of the supervisors Of registra-
tion ought to prove a warning to those
who have no registration certificates,
but who expect to get them sometime.
Although there were only twenty three
eligible applications, it was about all
the board could do to get through with
them during the day. Suppose there
should come a rush on account of
some important election and there
should be fifty or a hundred applica-
tions for certificates, how many would
be disappointed and cut out Of the OPP
portunity to vote?
The statement in last Fridays En-
quirer to the effect that the Southern
Express company had hit upon a new
scheme to get business in the cabbag-
ing of freight shipments en- route and
delivering them to consignees with ex-
press charges added, was based on the
fact that a shipment BY freight from
Philadelphia to Yorkville fell into the
hands of the express company at
Charleston. Mr.. H. F. Jackson, route
agent of the express company, was in
Yorkville Wednesday with papers to
show that in this particular instance,
that although the express company got
hold of the package by mistake, the
mistake was made by the Clyde line
instead of the express company, and
that the matter Of difference in freight
would be adjusted as soon as the re-
sponsibility for the mistake could be
located He assured The Enquirer that
the express company does not inten-
tionally cabbage freight packages en-
route.

law as a matter of principle so much
as a matter of expediency. He had
been married to Catherine of Aragon.
He wished to divorce her and wed
Anne Boleyn. Now Henry was the
brother of GATHERINGS deceased hus-
band. A law declaring unlawful the
marriage with a deceased wife's sister
or a deceased husbands brother would
give grounds for the annulment of that
alliance with Catherine. make way
for a marriage with Anne Boleyn and
establish a law which was perfectly
Just and symmetrical in that 1t provid-
ed sauce for both goose and gander.
The law has caused many a heart
ache, developed many a romance and
invited many subterfuges and eva
sions. Sometimes the prohibition was
lodged by marriage in a British COL
ony wherein such an alliance was law
full. but there was still the thought
that. even so, in England the marriage
would be illegal. Not long ago relief
was given to this situation by the
passage of a measure making valid In
England such marriages when con-
tracted in colonies recognizing their
validity.

cents on up are available to every boy
and girl as we'll as to every grown
man and woman. One may put In the
bank his nickels and dimes and quar-
ters and halves and dollars. and leave
them there not only with the satisfac-
ton that they are growing with every
addition of his own: but that the bank
people are actually paying him to save.
Still another advantage in this connec-
ton is the steady requirement of a
certain amount of business education
by contact with the bank people,
and also the opportunity for the for
nation of business connections that
may afterwards prove profitable.
Every child, we think, should be
taught the benefits to come from the
cultivation Of the saving habit and ev-
cry parent should make 1t his or her
business to give all possible encour-
agement of that habit. Many young
life is wrecked and wasted as the re-
suit Of "vtravagance. In fact, we be-
lieve that more wrecks and failures are
traceable to extravaganza than to any
other one cause, and the responsibility
for this extravaganza lies more often
than otherwise on parents who have
neglected their duty in the matter of
teaching the habit of saving.
In teaching a child the habit of saw
ing, the parent more often than other
wise saves the child, and makes bet
ter man or woman of him or her.

SITUATION IN MOROCCO.
Beginning to Look as If There Is Co.
ing to Be Big Trouble.

While there has not been any more
fighting at Casablanca since the fierce
engagement of Tuesday, says Paris
cable of yesterday, the seriousness of
the general situation in Morocco and
the possibility of its leading France in
to diplomatic difficulties with the 9TH
er powers of Europe. notably Germany
and Great Britain, to say nothing OF
the apparently growing necessity of in
creasing the size of the French force on
the Moroccan coast. is occupying the
attention of the French people.
The call To conVOke parliament To
discuss and decide what course the ma
ton should pursue is becoming more
inSiStent. There is Il growing feeling
that the important decisions in the
matter Of Frances policy In Morocco
should not be left entirely to the MEM
berS of the cabinet.
The seriousness of the fighting of
Tuesday has brought home to the
French people q realization that France
may be only at the threshold of a pro-
tracted campaign that may easily
prove costly in lives and money. The
situation is now referred to as war
and no longer. as heretofore, as an "eX-
pedition of pacification."
Germany is watching the progress OF
events in Morocco more closely every
day and it is intimated i'm Berlin that
under the Algeciras convention France
is approaching the bounds beyond
which she should not go without first
obtaining the special permission of the
powers.
The exodus Of Europeans from Tan
%er continues.
Native advices received at Tangier
declare that 10000 hostile MOOrs have
concentrated not far from CaSablanca,

FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.

Quite a severe electrical storm play
ed over the farm of Mr.. D. M. Ben
field in the Delphos neighborhood last
Tuesday afternoon, and when 1t was
over Mr.. Benfield found himself the
poorer by a $3.50 mule and a fine pig.
1t was about o'clock. Mr.. Ben
field and his son James had just re-
turned from Yorkville and finished
putting up their stock as the storm
broke. AS they were leaving the barn,
there was loud crash, and Mr.. James
Benfield, who was some little distance
behind his father, fell to his knees bad
" shocked. Mr.. Benfield first looked
to his son and then made an examina-
ton of the barn and stable.
In the stable was dying mule, one
of the animals that had just been un-
hitched. 1t was not badly mutilated
The bolt had struck 1t in the head, gone
into the brain, and presumably come
out of it's mouth to the ground. Its
iawbone was broken. A few shin
giles were torn off the roof of the
building and also a plank or two; but
no other damage was done.
A few minutes before or afterward
different bolt struck tree some dis
tance away from the barn and went
into the ground at point where three
pigs were lying. One Of the pigs was
killed, another was badly injured and
the third escaped unhurt. All three OF
the pigs were lying huddled up to-
gether.
Mr.. James Benfield was still feeling
little dazed on Wednesday morning;
but has since entirely recovered from
the shock.

THIRTY TWO to eight was the result
of the voting in Bethel township last
Tuesday on the question of levying a
two-mill tax for the purpose of i'm
proving the roads. 1t was not a full
vote. ii is true. The township could
easily poll 200 or more; but the pro-
portion is all right. 1t shows that the
sentiment up that way is overwhelm-
ingly in favor of making this import
ant experiment. We are not prepared
to say either, that all of the eight
who voted no. are opposed to being
taxed for road improvement. We know
II to be a fact that some of them were
in doubt as to whether an annual levy
would do so well as liberal bond is
sue. In fact, some of them thought
and still think that the bond issue is
the thing. But anyhow, the step that
has just been taken Is a credit to the
people of Bethel and to the county as
whole That the money raised from
the tax will be properly managed, we
have no doubt. The men Of Bethel
may safely be left to look after that,
and the outcome of the experiment will
be watched with very great interest,
because much will depend upon the
success or failure of this initial effort
along this line.

CIGARETTES AND POISON.
The Coffin Tack Consumer Should
Pause and Consider.

Did you ever stop to think how
harmful cigarettes are? The following
actually occurred recently:
You smoke thirty cigarettes dayF
Yes, on the average"
You don't blame them for your run
down condition.?
Not in the least. 1 blame my hard
work"
The physician shook his head. He
smiled in a vexed way. Then he took
a leech out Of a glass jar.
Let me show you something" he
said. Bare your arm"
The cigarette fiend barred his pale
arm and the other laid the lean, black
leech upon 1t. The leech fell to work
busily. Its body began to swell. Then,
all Of sudden, kind Of shudder con-
vulsed It and 1t fell to the floor, dead.
THAT is what your blood did to that
leech." said the physician. He took up
the little corpse between finger and
thumb. Look at it," he said. Quite
dead, you see. You poisoned It,"
II guess 1t wasn't a healthy leech.
In the first place." said the cigarette
smoker, sullenly.
Wasn't healthy, eh? Well, We'll try
again"
And the physician clapped two leech-
es on the young mans thin arm.
IF they both die" said the patient,
"rll swear off-or at least, I'll cut
down my daily allowance from thirty
cigarettes to ten"
Even as he spoke the smaller leech
shivered and dropped on his knee,
dead and a moment later the larger
Dne fell beside it.
This is CHASTITY" said the young
man. I'm worse than the pestilence
to these leeches."
1T is the empyreumatic oil In your
blood" said the medical man. "All
cigarette fiends have 1t. Smoke rea-
sonably, and this oil will disappear,
and you will be no longer deadly to
the leech Furthermore, your appetite
will return, you will sleep better, and
your muddy color will clear up. 1t Is
not hard work, but hard smoking that
has brought these troubles down on
you"

ing the three dead leeches thought

THE HOSPITAL IDEA.

Although nothing tangible has been
developed yet, people have begun to
give consideration to Rev. H. ]. Cau-
then's repeated admonition that the
town Of Yorkville and the surrounding
community owe themselves the duty
Of establishing a first-class hospital In
the town.
Two local physicians, discussing the
matter in conversation few days ago,
agreed upon the idea, that probably
the best thing that can be done In this
line Is to establish a hospital camp by
means OF tents. along the plan follow
ed in the army.
mo, don't SMILE" said one Of the
physicians to the reporter. Don't
smile, for l am not joking, and neither
am l suggesting a makeshift. The
medical profession has about agreed
on the fact that 1t Is desirable to have
as much open air as possible in the
treatment of any and every disease,
and an open air hospital is the thing.
sat would cost some fifteen hundred
or two thousand dollars to establish
and equip a hospital large enough for
the present needs Of this community.
would say that the necessary tents,
beds, furnishings. appliances. etc.,
could be bought for the latter sum; but
of course this would only give fair
start.
After locating and establishing the
hospital, we would arrange to put 1t
in charge Of young physician. and
two or more trained nurses, as many
as might be needed, and the physicians
of the town and surrounding country
could give their services as they might
be called upon to do"
The doctors seemed to be Of opinion
that the establishment Of q public hos
pital would be a great thing for the
community. 1t would furnish facili-
ties for the treatment Of many emer-
gency cases that cannot now be treat
ed here to advantage, and it would
prove of value in scores Of instances
that are constantly developing; but In
connection with which there Is no
thought Of a hospital, simply because
this convenience and necessity is out
of the question.
But after all, talk amounts to very
little in matters of this kind. 1t Is
matter Of dollars and cents, and the
question resolves itself down to some
thing like this: Who will subscribe
$1,000? Who will subscribe $500?
Who will subscribe 800? Who will
subscribe $50? Who will subscribe
SO? Who will subscribe IS? Who
will subscribe 81?
L. M. CRISIS Sons will give 800 to
a subscription Of $2,500 or over.
