Mo0rn1an, The Leading Candidate For Circuit Judge

The Courier takes pleasure in
placing before our readers this week
the name Of Harry J. Norman as a
candidate for Circuit Judge Of the
First Judicial District. Mr.. Moor
man is a Democ rat-a good one, too,
and is asking this honor at the hands
OF the Democratic voters, at the
primary, Nov. 3rd.
II might interest our readers to
know that Mr.. NORMA served this
district as commonwealth attorney
for six years, from 1898 to 1904,
and We feel warranted In saying that
no man ever filled that responsible
office with greater ability or
more devoted purpose TO do equal
and exact justice TO all, having ia
view above all things the law and
the peace and dignity OF the COM
monweal,h.
Mr.. Norman was born in Breck.
enridge county. this State. on Jan.
%. 1857. and was early in life an
orphan, his mother dying when he
was only one year old and his fab.
er some years later. after frs, hav.
ing moved TO Daviess county. II was

man grew to manhood. He worked
on a farm until he was OF age and
got such schooling as he could OBJ
tain from the public schools during
the winter. At the age OF II he be-
can the study Of Law under his uncle
Judge w. T. Owen. who was for a
number Of years circui, Judge in the
Greensboro distric. and died only a

short time ago.
Mr. Norman located at May
field in 1878. and took up the pfac-
tice Of law, winning success by close
application and untiring industry,
coupled with a natural bent for the
legal profession.
He was elected county attorney
Of Graves county in 1886 and served
two terms in that office, leaving 1t
recognized as one OF the foremost
lawyers Of the Mayfeld bar. In
1897, as stated above, he was elect
ed commonwealth attorney Of this
district.
Mr.. Norman has always been an
active, working Democrat and has
had many calls to serve his party on
the stump, to all of which he cheer
fully and promptly re sponded.
Mr.. Moorman's record as a
private citizen is no less clean and
upright than his public life. He is
a christian gentleman, and IN every
way worthy OF the support and con-
fdence of the best element Of
our citizenship which is seeking to
elevate only those to positions of
trust who stand four square 10 God
and man.
He is eminently qualified for the
Office of circuit judge and should he
be elected will bring to the bench
dignity, learning and the highest
integrity. He will serve the people
and will be controlled by no interest
or machine inimical to the people.

MARK TwAIN's BURGLAR.

REDDING, Conn, Sept. 1.-Two
burglars. who broke into the residence
of Samuel L. Clemens Mark Twain
in Redding late Thursday night, were
captured early yesterday on New
Haven railroad train between Bethel
and Reddng after a desperate fight,
in which Deputy Sheriff Banks of Red
ding was shot in the leg. The prison
ers are believed to be professional
crooks, who came from New York for
the express purpose Of entering the
Clemens villa.
Miss Lyons. Mr. Clemens secretary,
was aroused about midnight by the
sound of breaking glass. She found
the dining room Lighted and that the
sideboard. with its silver, was missing
from its customary place. Through an
open window she saw two men rIfing
the sideboard which had been carried
out into the garden. Miss Lyon sum
mOned Mr. Clemens and the butler and
telephoned for the sheriff and neigh
bors The burglars meanwhile had fled
with the silver, but they were captured
on a train here after a fierce fight, IN
which the sheriff was wounded twice
and one of the men shot himself in the
head. The silver was recovered. Mr..
Clemens yesterday posted this notice on
the door of his house:
'Notice-To the Next Burglar:
There is nothing but plated ware In
this house now and henceforth. You
viii find it in the dining room over the
corner by the basket Of kittens. If you
want the basket put the kittens in
the brass things. Do not make noise
it disturbs the family. You viii find
rubbers in the front hall by that thing
which has the umbrellas in it, Ghetto
nier. I think they call it, or pergola,
or something like that. Please close
the door. Yours truly,

which have actuated shipping companies

captains taking their steamers too far

with the ice. The secondary object IS
to insure that any steamer requiring
it shall have assistance in the shortest
time possible. Any lame duck
keeping the track is bound to be picked
up in few days by vessel Of one

fire or other casualty where passengers

honest man.

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT

Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying Of a "plg in a
poke" Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, etc., predominated were
marked and sold as pure White
Lead" the deception not being ap-
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned to
expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg-
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty of
purity, on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and commences of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished blow
pipe free to every one who would
write them for it. This action was in
itself guaranty of the purity of Ma
tional Lead Company's White Lead.
AS the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame if he is defrauded. For
test outfit and valuable booklet on
painting, address National Lead Com
pany. Woodbridge Bldg, New York.

TT has been said that the way to a
mans heart lies through his stom-
aeh. This has been proved to be
true as many times as it has been de-
clared. Man is hungry animal, and
what appeals to his palate is almost
sure to open the gateway to his heart.
When man is accused of this fact
he usually smilingly acknowledges
that it is true.
Il know that it is true" said one
man the other day. 81 would rather

Most men in naming the qualiflca-

Cupid, hiding in the pie crust of a
delectable mince concoction that was
better than mother used to make,
brought about pretty romance in
Boston a week or two since.
When Col. John H. Bartlett, Grand
Army man, formerly on the staff of
National Commander Tanner, went to
the pie social in the Hub he had no
idea that he was going up against
his fate. And when he was served
with piece of New England mince
pie that tasted like ambrosia, he
begged for an Introduction to the
maker of the pie. The colonel was
taken to Mrs. Susie J. Reese, who had
baked the pie. He merely desired to
pay his compliments to fine cook,
but he remained to whisper tender
words.
"a woman who can make pies like
that is my real affinity" declared the
gallant colonel. Zone could not help
loving her.
