Would Make n No. I Servant.

Geo. w. Thomas. Hollidaysburg. Pa.
thinks that the people have the sole
right to name their candidate for Presi-
dent. and he does not approve of the
attitude of President Roosevelt on this
subject. The people are getting the
notion that if the President wins out
in his efforts to have Mr.. Taft made his
successor he will retire, but that if Mr..
Taft does not make it. the President
will agree to be a candidate himself.
PennsylvanianS naturally want to see
Mr.. Knox in the White House. man
who can stand on his own record. and
who would make a No. l servant for
the people of these United States.

Magic Polishing Cloths.

So-called magic" polishing cloths are
being sold at 25 cents each. The recipe
for making them is as follows: Take
one gallon gasoline, two pounds OF
whiting and half an ounce of oleic acid.
Mix all together and shake up well.
Soak pieces of woolen cloths in this
mixture, wiring them out and hang up
to dry 1t will be found that this will
place fine gloss on any polished sur
face or siiverware, etc. and no matter
how soiled the cloths become, they will
not dirty the hands or lose their polish

Henry NJ. Whitney. of Massachusetts,,
looms up as strong political possibil-
ity with the chances in favor of his re-
cciving the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Massachusetts this Fall
Should he succeed in carrying the
State, which the Democrats have done
in some years, then there are prospects
He is 20 years old and up to three
years ago had not been known as a pub
lie speaker or politician. In 1905 the
Democrats nominated him for Lieuten-
ant-Governor. and he went into the can
vass with a determination to win. He
attempted no set speeches, but went
from place to place, having heart to
heart talks with the people over rec
iprocity and tariff revision. He talked
to them from business standpoint. and
the result was that while Gov. Guild
was elected by the Republicans by 22,-
900 majority, Whitney was defeated for
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by only

The sample you send US is what geo.
logists call secondary pyrites; that is. it
was formed at comparatively late
geologic period by the accretion of lime
stone around pyrites, or vice versa.
When stamped. washed and concen-
trated it is worth about SO ton. As
long as the Standard Oil Company will
put sulfur out of its Louisiana mine at
about 81 per ton the price of pyrites

Cane. From Long Bridge.

The old Long Bridge, crossing the
Potomac in front of Washington. and
over which more than 100000 men
marched to the blazing front, and one
quarter OF them never returned, has
sacred place in American history. 1t
has now been torn away, but portion
of the timbers was secured by the Old
Long Bridge Cane Company. to manu-
facture into canes for veterans who
wish to have souvenirs. These are
properly certified, and are handsome

DON'T INVEST IN GUAYULE LANDS.

The Mexican Government is seeking
the aid of its American Consuls to
thwart the designs of scheming land
agents in Mexico. who are accused OF
putting into effect a clever scheme to
defraud foreign investors. 1t has re-
Gently been proven that the guayule,
wild shrub native to Mexican SOIL
produces 10 per cent rubber, and this
industry has grown to large proportions
Land agents in Mexico have taken ad-
vantage of the reputation of the quay
ule shrub and have sold to investors
thousands of acres of land, which, ap-
parently contained vast quantities OF
the rubber-bearing plant. This land
however. is covered with a plant known
IS the mariola. which contains only one
per cetn of rubber.

Those who claim they know say that
William J. Bryan IS making from $685.
COO TO $4,000 a year as lecturer, and
his popularity depends almost wholly
upon his possibilities for the Democratic
nomination. This IL anything would
keep him before the public, since any
statement by him that he would not
be a candidate would seriously diminish
his acceptability on the platform. A
little conversation is related as having
1sken place between him and Col. Jas.
~. Guffey. the Democratic National
Committeeman for Pennsylvania:
"You couldn't be elected If nominated
IN 1905" said MIR. Guffey to Mr.. Bryan.
"Well, I could stand that" replied
Mr.. Bryan to Mr.. Guffey.
perhaps you could. but the Demo-
E;atic Party couldn't" Tsjoined Mr..
