A Birds Vanity.

The canary bird sang SO loud and
clear that the three men, In their
shirt sleeves on the lawn, could not
keep track of their argument. Dis
connectedly and without meaning
amid the music floated in the air
such words as "anti-injunction plank, u
equality Of opportunity" "the trusts,
yellow dog funds" and "a square
DEAL"
"Drat that bird" said the host. I'll
fix him."
And he got a little mirror and
set 1t in the cage.
The canary stood before the mirror
and was silent. He gazed with rap,
ture at himself. He breathed deep
like Miss Allen in her "Salome" dance
and, like the beautiful girl before the
saints head, so the bird before the
mirror was seized with shivering fits
that ran all over him.
Hes stuck on himself" said the
host. "As long as leave the mirror
there he won't bulge from 1t, even to
eat. Now, as l was saying"
And soon a great hubbub arose over
tariff revision"

Hairs In the Watch,

"Well, sir, I had to send my watch
down town to have 1t cleaned out
again." said an East side barber the
other day. 81 have to send my watch
to the repair shop about once a month,
and there is absolutely nothing the
matter with 1t, except that 1t is full
Of hairs. I do not understand how
the hairs can get into the works and
behind the hands and mix up in the
handspring and every place as they do
In my timepiece. I watched myself
one month as closely as could. and
swear I never opened the back of 1t.
Yet, at the end Of the month, I un-
screwed the back lid and 1t was full
Of little fine hairs. I always keep 1t
In my pocket when I am cutting hair,
but don't see how any hairs get into
the watch. Yet they must, because
they are always there."-Columbus

1T IS A FIDDLE CHURCH VANE
Reminder of the Builders Early Days
of Poverty.

One of the most curious vanes tc
be seen on any church in Great Brit
ain is at Great Gonerby, parish ad
joining Grantham.
1t is in the form of fiddle and a
bow and is unusually large. Its his
tory is curious. Many years ago a
peasant resided in Great Gonerby who
eked out modest livelihood by per.
forming on an old violin which was
almost part of his life. At last he
decided to emigrate and out in the
far west prospered and became a rich
man.
One day he sent to the clergyman at
Great Gonerby sum sufficient to
build church and attached to the
gift the curious condition that a metal
replica Of his old fiddle and bow should
be on the summit Of the edifce. The
gift was accepted and the vane may
still be seen on the church.

Whatever may be the political
views Of Dodge City, all who are in
terested in any way in the welfare Of
the town, should remember that
there is a member Of the board Of
county commissioners to elect on
next Tuesday. All money raised
for the expenses Of the county is to
be paid out by this board. The
members of the board are the guar
dams Of our public money. In elect
ing the member OF the board we want
q man who is a good business man.
One who can figure out every prop
osition so that the county funds will
not be used wastefully. We want a
board that can run the expenses Of
the county on an economical basis.
The experience OF W. J. Davies in
the county treasurer's Office, in the
banking business, and his experience
on the board Of commissioners, his
experience in private business, and
his personal qualifications and his
high personal character, will make
him o very valuable man on the board.

TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS.

On election day those who ar
qualified to vote either 60 to the poll
and vote or signify by staying ava,
that they care nothing for the vel
fare Of their country. The man who
votes, and votes carelessly. is little
better than the man who does no,
vote at all The m an who takes the
matter seriously and votes con.
scientiously, however mistaken may
be his judgement, is doing his duty.
Every qualified voter shou 4 con,
slider it his duty to vote, to try to
vote intelligently. He should think
the matter out for himself in advance
and go to the polls with the sincere
purpose of beneftting his country by
his ballot. The Globe Republican
hopes to see the full Republican vote
polled in Ford county on next Tues
day. 1t is the opinion IF many
prominent people, that the Republi-
can candidate for president in
this campaign, is in every way
the best equipped mall for the
place, ever offered to the voters
in any campain. As Republicans we
believe that the country will be more
prosperous if Taft is elected, than it
will be il he is defeated. Our state
ticket and county ticket are tickets
that we are proud Of. Don't stay
away from the polls becau-e you
think the ticket will carry without
your vote. Go as a duty and en-
dorse your party's candidates. There
is another thing you may we'll be
proud Of doing this year. The
Republican ticket Is too good one
to scratch. You can vote
straight ticket, and you will never
be ashamed to admit it after election.
The candidates have been selected
by direct primary election. Your
vote at the primary had just as much
force as any other persons vote. Wei
are all equally under an obligation
to vote straight for the ticket we
selected. And there is absolutely
no reason, why the election boards
should not count straight Republican
tickets by the hundreds. on next
Tuesday night.
