HART A CANDIDATE.

Probate Register Hugh Hart will
make lively campaign for the Repub-
lican nomination for judge of probate
this summer.
Mr.. Hart was born in China town
ship, March %, 1876, and lived on the
farm till he was fifteen years of age,
when he went to st. Clair to attend
the high S, hool. He later attended
the law department of the University
of Michigan, being graduated from
there in 1898, and began the practice of
law in st. Clair city. He entered the
probate Office as probate register in 1900,
when Judge Tappan came into the
Office. lie was married to Miss Blanche
Brown in 1904.
Mr.. Hart has made good probate
register and as he is thoroughly fam
liar with all the work of the office, his
duties having kept him in the Office all
day and every day with few exceptions
for eight years, he is well qualified for
promotion and should make good
judge.
In an interview with The Times con-
corning his candidacy for the nomina-
ton for judge of probate Mr. Hart
said: The suggestion that | might
withdraw from the race is ridiculous"
said he. al have been in this race for
eight years, and withdrawal now would
be the silliest course | could pursue.
-Four years ago stood before two roads.
One of them was to remain register of
probate, the other to devote myself to
my profession, and get away from pol
tiles. After going over the matter
thoroughly with my friends, | decided
TO remain as register of probate and
work for the higher office, for which
am now candidate. | accepted in
good faith Judge Graham's statement
in the convention four years ago, that
that nomination would be enough for
him. From that day have lost no OPP
portunity to perfect myself in the work
of the Office, with the sole purpose in
view of attaining the judgeship. ask
no consideration except on the basis of
merit and friendship. 1t is simply a
question whether there is enough of
each back of me i'm this contest. From
this time until the primary election in
September, intend to be just as per
sistent in my campaign for this NOM
nation as Ihave been for the past eight
years in getting ready for this work"

Editor of the News:

Editor of the News:
The time of my paper was out
the first Of January. | think ]
must have the News, as | am at
home and scarcely ever get out
to gather any news. We had a
fine Christmas, enjoying Santa
Claus good things. Love is the
real Santa Claus, for it is love
which brings the joys of a Christ
mas remembrance.
On Christmas eve we received
a large box from Lexington, and
in it was a large Christmas fruit
cake, a loaf cake, oranges,
grapes, pine apples, packages of
figs, dates, prunes, raisins, bana-
mas and all kinds of nuts. Next
came a large box from c.. H. Nc
Mullan. of Blackwell, Oklahoma,
and in it was another large fruit
cake, the finest | ever saw, also
candies of various kinds, and a
lot of other good things to eat
that will be a great luxury and
help to us. What is a rarer
treat than those cakes such as
are made with raisins, currants,
candied citron and the purest
spices? A black cake is the best
Xmas present-a gift more ex-
pressive of faithfulness and good
feeling, cannot be given.
| desire to express my thanks
through the News to those who
remembered us.

TALK WITH YOUNG MEN.

The young man with limited
means, who has but a few hum
dred dollars to begin life with,
or perpaps has nothing but a
pair of strong and willing hands,
we would say to all such young
men that the farm is the best
place in the world. Do not be
afraid of toll but set an example
to the weak, lazy loiterer about
town by putting your hand to the
pillow.
If you are a young. married
man then the farm offers still
greater inducements. We know
it will cost your young wife some
pangs to separate from friends
and home in the town, but if she
is a true woman she will do it
without a murmur, for the bat
tie Of life is an earnest one, and
we must each sustain our part.
Do not expect to begin your mar
ried life in the same style that
your father and mother are now
enjoying III their old age, with
the fruits Of many years Of toll;
but be contented to begin hum
bly,.
Plant, and sow, and reap;
build your dwellings, and garnish
them about with fruits and flow
ers; promote agriculture, one of
the great institutions of God;
and when your sons and daught-
ers grow up like olive plants
around your table, while you fail
not to remember their physical
wants. remember also to supply
their intellectual food the mind

and papers and proper recrea-

THE LARGEST ANIMAL.

The sulphur bottom blue whale,
as it is better called by the Nor
wegians, is not only the largest
living animal, but the largest
that has ever lived reaching
length of eighty feet or very
rarely a little more. Whales
grow much larger than this in
books and newspapers, but in
actual life not one in a dozen
even Of this species attains a
length of eighty feet. The pop
ular idea of a whale is that it is
"a clumsy animal, but as shown
by models it has the graceful lines
of yacht. The following figures
give an idea of the size and
weight of a large whale:
Extreme length, 70 feet; cir
cumference at shoulder, 35 feet;
fuke notch to shoulder, 81 feet 2
inches; tip of nose to eye, Is feet
2 inches; length Of skull, 10 feet
6 inches; breadth of skull, 8 feet
8 inches; weight of skull, 3 tons;
length Of jawbone, q feet;
weight of jawbone, / ton; length
of ripper, 10 feet 6 inches;
weight Of hipper, ESQ pounds;
across fiukes Is feet 5 inches;
weight of fukes, 1000 pounds;
weight Of flesh, 40 tons; weight
of bone, 8 tons; weight of bIub-
Der, 8 tons; weight of viscera,
estimated, 8 tons; weight of
blood, 2 tons; weight of whale
bone, three-fourths of a ton.
The total weight of a whale is
about sixty tons and unusually
large and fat individuals must
reach at least sixty-five tons.
The largest animal of the past so
far discovered is the great din
osaur brontosaurus and this big
reptile weighed about thirty

new story about he nomination of

Teller moved 10 Illinois from Bing-
hamton. n. y, in 1858, and became
acquainted with Lincoln. Lincoln had
been carrying On a series Of debates
with Douglas. but nobody thought
people outside of Illinois had paid
any attention to them.
Teller was sent up to Chicago to
extend the glad hand to delegates in
behalf Of Lincoln He was getting
along hrstrate until somebody rushed
