known and full grown; 4S years
old and of high business attain
ment. He was born and raised on
the farm in Hooking county.
Worked in the fields in summer
and attended school in winter.
Having attained his majority he
went to college and worked his
way through. He made school
teaching his profession and in his
time was one of Hocking's most
proficient educators. He was one
of the few teachers in that day to
carry the hard earned five.year

Logan has no better than Will
Brandt, and the voters of Hooking

ballot for him. Vote for good men
and men qualified for office and
you will have no regret. VIM. ID.

Running For Exercise.

A professional runner gives the fol-
lowing suggestions for exercise: Rise
at $50 a. IN. Put on old clothing, easy
shoes and a sweater Time for dress
ing, five minutes. Walk one-fourth Of
mile; time, five minutes. Then run
a mile at dog trot In eight minutes,
arranging your circuit Of mile and
quarter so that you will finish at
your door thirteen minutes after start
ing. That exercise will expand your
lungs and stimulate your heart action
and land you at your doorstep at GAS

exhausted and perspiring at every pore.
You are then ready for your bath and
shave and breakfast and for the nat
ural routine Of the day. The man Of

sues this exercise may kiss all drugs

The rrascible Bislnarclks.

Herbert Bismarck had none OF hl'
fathers bright wit in conversation, E.,t
had his overbearing temper and as
mothers violent irascibility. She had
the disposition Of the Frankish woman
as exemplified in Fredegonda, but led
in check by modern conditions. Bis
marck in anger was as terrible as q
ferocious mastiff. She, far from re-
straining him, kept OH saying: Good
dog; tss-s-ss. Go ut him (or at herr;
good dog, tss-s-ss,' or tantamounf
words. The mastiff that lay below the
surface in Bismarck grew more ant!
more Infatuated, especially If the even
ing before he had eaten and drunk CO.
piously. With these parents, Herbert.
Jane and Bill Bismarck could not be
expected to have courteous manners.
Herbert. who was no stranger in Paris
and whom the fond father hoped ono
day to send there as ambassador, was
bulky, sullen and of a complexion that
revealed an angry state Of the blood.

me of limb of the law hardened to
the work Of laying on executions--in
short, Of a low class bailifr rccors)."-

Lawyers and Our Public Life.

Without stopping Tor STATISTICS, Wnlcn
have been so often collated, It is
enough to say that in the public life Of
this country the lawyer has been the
conspicuous factor. The judiciary of
course, is altogether composed Of men,
bers Of the profession. In executive
offices and legislative halls the law has
predominated and still predominates
over every business and all other pro
LESSONS. Yet the public life of this
country has been of the highest char
acter. Acting for the public as the
lawyers have done in these various
fields of official labor, they have
proved true to their employment. and
1t may safely be said that the scan
dals which have sometimes been found
In official life have seldom attached to
them. How can this be accounted for
except upon the theory Of general
personal integrity? 1t is no sufficient
explanation to say that, although the
great mass of the profession is cor
rupt, there are few who are reliable,
and they are the ones whom the public
select for official life. The truth is
their very prominence In public life,
their fidelity to the trusts therein i'm
posed, is evidence which cannot be ig-
nored that the profession has and
maintains character for honesty and
uprightness which attracts general
con1dence.-D. ]. Brewer In Atlantic.

NEW anal old Bank Bill..

According to the Washington Post,
quoting cashier, bank officials do not
prefer fresh new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said cashier. 1T is a
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. As
a matter of fact, nine cashiers out of
every ten try to get rid Of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
it. There is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
er. Frequently the ink is not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle great deal Of money. It is
the easiest thing In the world to make
mistakes with new bills when in a
hurry to relieve long line of waiting
patrons. When possible we give out
the new bills during hours when there
is no rush. I'd rather pay out mil
lion old bills than hundred new
ones"

Seven IN the Bible.

The number seven plays a prominent
part in events III the Bible. The crea
ton took six days, and on the seventh
there was rest. On the seventh day Of
the seventh month q holy observance
was ordained, and the 1sraelites feast
ed seven days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days warning Of the
flood, and the seven years of plenty
were foretold in Pharaoh's dream by
seven fat beasts, as were the seven
years by seven lean beasts. We speak
Of the seven heavens, and the seventh
son was supposed to be endowed with
pre-eminent wisdom. In short, there is
no other number which enters into the
Bible SO often as seven. No doubt the
wide popularity Of the number and the
superstitions which are connected with
it came from it's wide use in the Bible.

he occupied little house owned by a

R,.tori. Too Gr.teful soldier,

During Ristori's first engagementa
Madrid an elderly woman one night
gained access to her dressing room and
tearfully begged her intervention on
behalf of her son, a young soldier con-
demned to death for serious breach
Of discipline. At the close Of the per-
Torrance Ristori was presented to
Queen Isabella, made the required ap-
peal and obtained the young mans
free pardon, perhaps because it gave to
the queen the opportunity Of mot
that she was certain the actress had
never before played in tragedy with
such happy ending. Some years later
Ristori again visited Madrid. During
the first performance soldier among
the audience made disturbance, was
elected only after severely damaging
a number of policemen and was sub
sequently sentenced to long term Of
Imprisonment. He proved to be Ris-
toris former protege, who, hearing Of
her return, had come to the theater In
order to renew his expression Of graft
tude. Unfortunately he had drunk her
health too enthusiastically beforehand.
with the result that he finally owed
her not only his life, but free board
and lodging for several years into the
bargain.-London Truth.

Anin,nls That Ween.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, a
mule has been seen to cry from the
pains of an injured foot, and camels,
1t Is said, shed tears in streams. A
COW sold by its mistress who had
tended it from calfhood wept pitifu!ly.
A young soko ape used to cry from
vexation If Livingstone didn't nurse it
In his arms when it asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young ones
slain by hunters. A chimpanzee train.
ed to carry water jugs broke one and
fell a-crying, which proved sorrow,
though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats,
discovering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears Of grief A giraffe
which huntsman's rifle had injured
began to cry when approached. Sea
lions often weep over the loss Of their
young. Gordon Cumming observed
tears trickling down the face Of q
dying elephant. And even an orang
outang when deprived of it's mango
was so vexed that 1t took to weeping.
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance. = Harper's
