Speak Right Out;

In almost any other city withthe
general election for city officers
only FIVE weeks off, there would
be in progress a lively campaign Of
aspirants for that position. But
here the matter of who will be the
next mayor treasurer, police Judge
and alderman is hardly discussed
only by the inner circle. Just why
this condition obtains is obvious, a
side from the fact that the interest
in this section for matters political
as in some others; there are more
fence riders in this town and county
to the square inch than any other
section on the globe, men are afraid
to come out in the open and office
holders Juggling for the support of
this and that faction. We truly be
lieve that it would be much better
for those who like to see worthy
men at the helmn of our city and
county affairs to Speak Right Out.

placed an iron pipe and stones on the
track just before the Pennsylvania
Railroad flyer was due He was
caught in the act and brought to
Pottsville, where he was committed to
prison.
The boy made no attempt to deny
his guilt, and, not comprehending the
serious character of the offense ex-
planned that he was only playing.
He gave the officers information of
several other attempts at train wreck
ing in that section and several more
arrests will be made.
Placing beer kegs between the
tracks in the hope of lifting the en-
CINE and throwing it was the favorite
method adopted, the boy says, but
none of the attempts were successful.

ever since the fourteen-year-old girl

year-old boy from the other.
May Riley. in spite of her rather
uneuphonious name, is strikingly
beautiful young girl of a happy dis
position and looked upon as the sue
cessor TO the present queen of the
tribe to which she belongs. In fact,
she is called Little Queen May.
Nathaniel Broadway is comely
youth, and direct descendant from
the famous line of Broadway gypsies
and horse traders
For some time these two have been
counting each other but the intense
feeling between Broadway's and the
other clan has kept public courtship
out of the question. Last Saturday
they both mysteriously disappeared,
and SO quickly did it happen that
members of both tribes were taken
unawares. For hours a search was
made. and then the police were ap.

TOLD BY THE THUMB.
One Way, So They Say, Of Reading a
Persons Character.

One Way, So They Say, Of Reading a
Persons Character.
The closer the thumb is set to the
wrist, the greater the amount of anna.
BILE qualities a person possesses. And,
conversely, the higher on the hand the
thumb Is set, the lower the order of his
mental and moral makeup.
Monkeys thumbs abut from the hand
at point close to the fingers. The
closer to this formation human being
comes the more monkey-like intelli-
gence and character he is apt to have.
A thumb set very close to the wrist
shows sympathy for all in distress,
great generosity, independence, love of
liberty for self and others and a readi-
ness to share with the unfortunate.
When the second phalanx Of the
thumb Is much longer than the nail
phalanx, there Is a discordant relation
between reason and will.
Reason preponderates to such an ex-
tent that the entire life is spent in
planning what to do without ever do
ing.
A person of this kind sees clearly
what is best for him, but lacks de-
termination to put it into execution.
He sees the goal and the steps neces-
sary for attaining it, but in the same
glance he takes in all the obstacles,
and while he is bordering the matter
the opportunity to win success escapes.

and he was sent to Kokomo, where he
attended the Indiana Normal School

times their Investigations were ac-

members, only seven were permitted
to enjoy the pleasures of the day.
