THE NEWS understands that there are several aspirants to the position of clerk of the board of supervisors, but the only person who has so far publicly announced his candidacy is the present incumbent, Thos. A. Flynn. He has held the position for the past two years and the af- fairs of the office have been con- ducted in a capable, conscientious and painstaking manner. THE NEWS has no wish or desire to dis parage the claims of other aspirants, but believes that the reappointment of Mr Flynn as clerk of the board would meet with the commendation of a majority of the citizens of Co., conino county.

an educational value Of marked interest
to the student Of painting or Of archl-
lecture. These have been arranged so

such a potent factor in the shaping Of
the development of painting as q fine
art The photographs relating to early
Christian architecture have also been
arranged in such a manner as to show
the progress Of architecture. It is in
this exhibition that the value Of pho
Biography as a record u the progress of
art and painting IS appreciated. BY no
other medium except through the slow
and expensive one of engraving could
this result be obtained. In addition 70
the photographs the custodian OF the
print department has collected a large
amount of literature bearing upOn the
two subjects under illustration, in order
that the careful student may not only
STUDY the photographs, but also supple

ONE ON PAPA.

The late Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas
was as free from friIIs and fuss as Old
Hickory himself could have wished
Many amusing stories are told by the
Texas people illustrating his extremely
Democratic manners, ana occasionally
ne would relate one at his own expense.
Among the latter was a story of a
bootblack that caused him no end Of
amusement It will be recalled that
physically, as well as politically, he was
very large man, his weight being
something over 400 pounds. While hav-
ing mis- shoes shined at one time, a
second bOOtblack appeared on the scene
and gezed at the governor with OPEN
mouthed wonder. Being something Of a
Wit and doubtlessly hoping TO enjoy a
joke at his competitors expense, boot
black No. l remarked; He's deaf and
dumb; can't hear a thing"
.'Geer' exclaimed No. ,, ''ain't he =
big old devilI"
Another that he used to tell with
great glee was on an inspiring political
friend who entertained him at dinner
and who doubtles5ly was anxious to
make a favorable impression. Remem-
bering the governors simple taste, the
children had been allowed TO come 70
the table.
During a lun in the conversation, the
small boy, looking earnestly at the
guest of honor, inquired: Say, Mr..
Hogg, what do you weigh?'
The father was naturally much en-
barrassed. ana attempted to apologize
for his sons TudenesS
Now. he's heard some one else talk

would never have thought of such a
thing"

boy. Il heard papa-'-Exehange
