The editor of the Ashland Gazette
soliloquizes as follows on the birth VI
a son: He came last Saturday, 50
as to be on hand Monday morning.
That's a trait of character we like
promptness. True. he can't even

which way the hicks should go,
couldn't tell shooting stick from a
shot gun, doesn't understand the diff
ference between denny and double ele-
phant, would get italic spaces all
mixed with type lice, make pi OF pie,
and might take a granite monument
for an imposing stone; but what OF IL!
There have been others, older than ne,
who couldn't tell quadrat from some
other kind, and have mistaken brass
rule for the Golden Rule. Our new
printer is young yet but the impress
sion is good and the register true
You can't expect too much OF ten
pound boy. He is opportune and came
just when another printer was most
needed. He'll grow. Folks say no"
that he looks just like his dad and
has even more hair on the top of his
head. The last part of the remark is
unkind, but we are in forSivinS
mood We are satisfied. He may not
be much help around the office just
now but judging by the way he makes
folks do as he says at the house, hn
will be managing editor some day; but
he is so good natured about it that we
have decided to keep him. He will
board with U.S."

My Toast.

Whichever way the wind doth blow.
Some heart is glad to have 1t so;
Then blow it East or blow 1t West,
The wind that blows-that wind is best.
My little craft sails not alone;
A thousand fleets from every zone
Are ont upon thousand seas;
And what for me were faVor1ng breeze
Might dash another with the shock
OF doom. upon some hidden rock.
And so 1 do not dare to pray
For winds to watt me on my way;
But leave it to a Higher Will,
To stay or speed me-trusting still
That all is well, and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail with me
Through storm and calm. and will not
fail.
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me, every peril past,
Within His shetering haven at last.
Then. whatsoever wind doth blow,
My heart is glad to have it so:
And blow it East. or blow 1t West,
The wind that blows-that wind Is best!

which the State has been making
marked progress. In 1906 the cor
poration taxes alone were 40 per cent
greater than the State tax assessed
upon the property of the whole State.
In another four years, at the rate
il has been reduced under the splendid
administration of Governor Cobb, the
State debt will be wholly wiped out,
and while the State has been doing
towns within it are able to report that
they have no public debt. While the
state and municipalities are making
this great financial record. at the
same time maintaining their insutu-
tions well and not doing business in
any niggardly or cheese pairing style,
the people OF the State are adding an
average of more than $5,000,000 yearly
to their deposits in the savings banks
and trust companies of the State. The
State valuation has increased $25.000,-
600 in the past two years. a greater IL
crease than ever before in like period

Qonded to the call that they do their

Anarchistic activity seems to possess
spasmodic character. One assassina.
don or attempt at such crime Is usually
followed by several others in close
succession. 1t Is regarded as more than
. mere coincidence that the Staying of
the Roman Catholic priest, Father Leo
Heinrichs, at the altar in Denver and
the attack on Chief of Police George
M. Shippy Of Chicago came so close to-
gether. Chief Shippy. as 1t happened,
was able to attack his assailant. kill
ing him instead Of being slain himself.
although his son and his driver were
seriously injured by the red handed in
truder in their efforts to save Chief
Shippy from harm. This tragedy was
followed by a supposed attempt on the
life Of Captain d. T. O'Brien. chief Of
the Chicago detective force. 1t Is be-
lieved In Chicago that anarchists had
planned to murder the mayor Of the
city, Fred A. Busse; Chief Shippy and
Captain O'Brien.
The anarchist threats against digni-
taries Of the Roman Catholic church
have included Archbishop James e.
Quigley and Chancellor X. NJ. Dunno
Of Chicago. 1t was just after the MUIR
der Of Father Heinrichs in Denver that
Chancellor Dunno said: 1.-The Denver
murder will be duplicated In Chicago
in less than a month. Archbishop Quig-
ley and myself are the most logical ones
to be murdered

present time all manner of horns and

without recourse to the usual pressure
gauge. Charles II. Martin of Nor
wood, n. T., is the inventor of this
little machine. In operation it is as
follows: On the down stroke Of the
piston D air is drawn into the cylin-
der through the inlet valve A. On the
up stroke the air is pressed past outlet
valve B into a pipe, F, leading to a
tank. The second operation Of the pis-
ton delivers a little less air than the
first stroke. and SO on until the desired
pressure is delivered to the tank. The
plug e is set at a point where the com.

tons with regard to Kidding the coun-

says this action was not inspired by
the murder Of Father Heinrichs in

lice Shippy in Chicago. but was in pur-
suance of a policy he had had unGer
