Rally For Hughes

1t augurs well for our future to see
so many of our very best people rally

It certainly is time to make change in
our Congressman, when a representative

Lewis to ask for one trial that he might do
so and so, Mr.. Lewis has been weighed
in the balances and found sadly wanting
and it does seem to be exceedingly cheeky
in him to ask for further time when he has
had IL years and nothing to show tor it.
We waut competent man real good bust
ness mau and man who can fill the chair
of our haAored Crisp; Mr. Hughes is all Of
that and better still, is farmer and identi-
fed with farmers.
And there is another important principle III
Col. Hughs' candidacy, he runs a clean
race, race run on his merits not his mon

Last Tuesday night the young people of
esbnrg honored Miss Thomas, now the
guest of Miss BunkIey with Moonlight
Picnic.
The crowd started at first from few but
as they left town they collected, so many
that it was necessary to get another wagon
then the crowd divided and it was real anu
sing to them as both crowds tried to excel
each other in noise and Jollity. The night
was a beautiful one, the moonlight lovely
scarcely no wind and not so cool as to be
unpleSent,
The crowd arrived at "Coney" built g
fire and then sat down for talk of about
an hour but this game was broken up when
some one mentioned "lunch" Everybody
agreed that the lunch consisting of pickles
olives, crackers, cake, boiled eggs and
sand wiches, should be eaten.
Soon every one was ready to go, and was
in position SO with song, (Coney) com.

The Easy-C Chair.

Only the Englishman knows the sci
ence OF sitting down. He alone has
evolved the chair which RECEIVERS for
its students all the comfort that has
been lost In the day, all the hope that
the morning may, so inhospitably have
barred. Watch, say. a Frenchman in
an English easy-chair and you Will
find him no worthy apprentice of the
science. He is i'll at ease and out OF
sympathy with the chair But the
Englishman has no sucn quarrel with
comfort He does not, as the French
man, sit at attention. There need not.
In fact, be any doubt that England S
position as the optimist among the ma
lions Is due largely TO this apprecia-
ton OF the easyehair. Had Schopen-
hauer lived in England and been in
structed in the art OF sitting down he
would have written dainty testimon-
ials to the charm of human nature.
Pope had no optimism, and IL is not
surprising that he complained OF the
rack of too easy chair" for only an
optimist can be comfortable. Whistler
refused to have an easy-chair In his
house, and quite inevitably wrote a
book on the art OF making enemies.
Carlyle lived among the hard angles
OF uncomfortable furniture and wrote
irritably. A mans literary taste, II
may as we'll be said, is not formed
so much by his education, or his early
life, or his friends, as by his chairs.
A man without an easychair would de-
velop au austere taste. He would
read Bacon. Hume. Macaulay. A
man with an uncomfortable easy-chair
would read Hazlitt, Carlyle, Schopen-
hauer, Nietzsche, Ibsen. A man with
a chair which he had nodded to all the
whims of his body would read Dick
ems. Lamb. Shakespeare. Meredith,
Flaubert, Tennyson. No one FORUM
ately has a finer instinct for comfort
than the Englishman, and so long as
this is so there should be no danger of
the decline of good books and poetry
and optimism. only the man who has
an easy-chair can read the right books.

Famous Skat Players.

At the eleventh congress OF the
Skat Association of America. which
took place In New York recently, one
or the speakers said that the German
emperor was at the head of the list
of skat players in his country and the
late ex-President Grover Cleveland
came first on the list OF Americans.
AS 10 Mr.. Cleveland. there seemed to
have been some doubt in the mind of
one delegate, who said: "Pinochle
is the ex-president's game. and know
that while he lived in Buffalo he met
German friends regularly at kneipe
there TO play the game. He had pino-
chile partners even after he became
president. and since then has played
the game often. But / never heard
until now that he was a Wenzel-rit-
ter" In order to settle the dispute.
a letter was written TO Mr.. Cleveland,
which had not been answered when
the news of his death was published.
