A Metaphor with a History.

To know a hawk from hernshaw'
Is a metaphor with curious history
1t is a comparison drawn from fal.
conry. "Hernshaw" is corruption OF
"heronshaw." or young heron, bird
which was a common prey OF the fal-
cons. To know hawk from a hern-
shaw therefore is to be able to dis
tinguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colloquial corruption crept into
the phrase-"to know a hawk from
a handsaw," form used by Hamlet
in one place. Possibly the distinction
between hawk and a hernshaw was
found not to be strong enough for the
purposes OF the proverb

A sadder interest attaches to such
existence; that It is, cosmically speak
ing. soon to pass away. To our event
full descendants life on Mars will no
longer be something to scan and in
terpret For the process that brought
it to its present pass must go on to
the bitter end, until the last spark
OF Martian life goes out. The drying
up of the planet is certain to pro-
ceed until its surface can support no
life at ALL Slowly but surely time
will snuff 1t out. When the last EN-
Der is thus extinguished. the planet
will roll dead world through space,
its evolutionary career forever ended.

This society, Of which Sir James
Crichton-Browne is the president
seeks to exterminate the rat tribe, as
well as mice, house flies and other
lively nuisances. At present rat skins

that once people find a profit may be

votes cast on the question of levy
ING the tax was IA, but all who
voted in the election failed to ex-
press an opinion on the subject
According to the recent ruling OF
Attorney General Kirby a majority
of all votes cast at the election is
necessary to warrant the levying of
the tax. notwithstanding this de-
cision the Union County Quorum
Court at its recent meeting levied a

to whether property owner under
the circumstances, can be compelled

stalwart Democrats are out in the
hustings pleading with the boys to

The fact of the matter is this Is

belief that on the third of next

Harry Myers may be an all right

Randolph is Democratic county,
and Mr.. Oldfeld, having received
the nomination at considerable ex-
pense, and being himself poor boy,
is entitled to every Democratic vote
in the county, and nobody doubts
but that he will receive them on
November 8.

Bryan Safe in Nebraska

81 shall begin this letter with the
broad and emphatic statement that
if Mr., Bryan does not carry his own
state, Nebraska, he will not carry
state in the Union," writes o. 0.
Stealey from Omaha, Nebraska, to
the Louisville Courier-JOurnal. AT
ter this statement l propose to give
your readers the facts for the faith
that is in me, The farther | go
west the more strong and enthuastic
do find the Bryan sentiment. The
people with whom | talked, Repub-
licans as well as Democrats, believe
in the man. | find here as else
where in my travels that the labor
vote Is fully so per cent for the
Democratic candidate. A gentle
man highly connected with the
Union Pacific shops here tells me
that Mr.. Bryan will carry the shops
by at least S5 per cent, and that the
"bosses" are in no wise interfering
in the campaign, and in his judg-
.nent the "bosses" themselves real
ly prefer Bryan. The German vote
here and in nearly all the cities in
the State by majority prefer the
Democratic candidates from top to
bottom"
