THE ACT OF DYING

The mere ultimate process of dying
may be relatively easy matter. Any
person who has been long i'll probably
suffers more on any given day or MS
life than he will suffer in the act Of
departing from his body. 1t is prob
able that broken bone, a delirious
fever, a disordered vital organ may
cause more anguish than the final
struggle. l have my doubts whether
the last pang is as bad as it seems.
We are told by surgeons that chloro-
form patients may give evidence of
acute agonies which they do not feel:
death itself is often an anaesthetic so
merciful that what people call living
trouble" is obviously a worse matter
J. for instance, who have never
tainted and never been anaesthetized
iii my life, have twice become from
serious causes unconscious for a short
time, and / have often wished that
could make over to some recoiling
soul whose name has been heard ring
ing upon the last roll -call, the UNI
speakable comfort which ! that brief
experience has given me. There was
no pang-no terror-no time, no
chance for either. One seemed to slide
gently and swiftly down a warm
abyss. flower scented, grass grown,
safe and beneficent, into unutterable
content. One melted into peace. One
drifted into esctacy beside which the
deepest joys of consciousness are poor
pale things. If one in truth should
evade the body in such a moment,
death would stand chosen as the SUI
preme delight of living.-Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, in Harper's Bazaar.

TAFT AND DoLLIvER
Is the Slogan of the Faithful at Chi
Caoo

Chicago, June 16.-"Taft of Ohio,
Dolliver Of Iowa." There are many
politicians in Chicago predicting tina.
these names will constitute the next
Republican national ticket, and some
believe that the Iowa man is as sure
of the second prize as is the Ohio man
the first. The situation does not JUS
tify so strong Characterization, but
the Dolliver boom is. manifesting such
positive vitality and has grown so
rapidly during the last twenty-fo four
hours as to justify giving Mr.. Dolliver
the center of the stage in placing the
characters who are taking part in the
vice presidential drama now being
staged

Every man TO nis trade" In an
old adage and is familiar to nearly
all OF US. 1t Is brief in its wording
but conveys a great deal In It's mean
ing. It is merely q terse way OF
saying that n man who makes n spe-
ialty OF any one thing knows more
about, and Is more proficient In his
particular speciality than any one
else could be. II Is for thin reason
that we all seek a specialist when
ne have any serious physical all
ment. 1t Is for the same reason that
The Rydale Remedy Co. went to one
Of the best specialists In the United
States on liver and intestinal trou-
bles, a professor in a Columbus, o..
Medical College, and secured from
him a prescription from which Ry-
dale's Liver Tablets are made.
This specialist knew more about liv-
er troubles than \ doctor who treats
ali diseases, and that IN why Ry-
dale's Liver Tablets relieve and cure
more quickly all liver troubles than
the ordinary liver pills and pow
jere.

THE COUNTY
INDEBTEDNESS

The Mercer Republican says that
the most OF our county indebted
ness was created before any OF the
present members OF the county
court went on the bench. This Is
absolutely untrue. The records OF
the county court for the fiscal year
ending June so. 1905, show that
the court issued orders against the
county to the amount OF ST9.062.-
IL, and these same records show
that they received from the varl-
Gus sources OF revenue the sum OF
s44,227.SS with which to pay these
orders. that is in one year the
present county court spent SSi,-
S34.29 more money than Il receiv-
ed. Here IN one year is more than
one half OF the county's Indebted
ness incurred by its county court
II man spends more than he
makes, isn't he going into debt?
That is the only true test OF the
financial condition OF a man or an
institution. TO compare the income
with the outgo. and then IL is easy
to tell whether a debt is being in
Cured or not. For the fiscal year
ending May 81, 1907. the year
prior to the one above this same
court spent $12.5 more money
than II received Here in two
the same county court now on the
bench. was spent by Mercer county
s47.351.65 more money than it re-
ceived to pay its various obligations
and to carry on the public business.
These are the figures taken from
the records. and not statistics fish
ed up from private sources by per-
sons paid by the county TO furnish
campaign material for candidstos
for office. And yet the Mercer Re
publican says the present county
court has not been responsible for
the greater part OF this debt, And
1t makes this stat ment In the very
teeth OF it's EDITORS own report on
the county debt showing that OF ali
unpaid outstanding orders against
the county there are only S10,70S.-
As that we're issued before 1903
when Davis Thorn went on the
court. leav ng the great majority
OF unpaid orders those issued since
Davis Thorn went on the court.
Taking this sum issued before 1903
from the total amount of debt ac-
cording to Mr. Hedr,ck and Nc
Claugherty OF SGS.024S2 leaves
$4S,21G.37 of Indebtedness incur
red s nee Davis Thorn went on the
bench, that is OYER 50 per cent. OF
the Indebtedness. according to the
Mercer Republicans own figures,
was incurred du In the administra-
ton CT Davis Thorn. And yet the
Mercer Republican says that II
wants to call especial attention to
the fact that most OF Mercer
County's Indebtedness was incurred
before either OF the present mem
bers of the court went on the
bench" cor course we will look
over it's bad grammar" in that
statement as the statement Itself
is worse than the grammar There
are three members OF the county
court. The Republican may regard
one OF them as a Kind OF non-en-
tity, which one we don't know, but
the description might ht more than
one of them)

young gentleman of splendid intel

and pleasant discourse with his fell
bowman. he won and retained CON
