LEX E. WOLFF

lii our announcement column this
week we present for the eonsidera-
tion of our readers the name Of
Lex E. Wolff of Washington, who
has authorized lis to announce him
as a candidate for reelection to the
office of County and Probate Clerk
of Hampstead County, subject, of
course, to the action of the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Wolff is now
serving his first term DIS clerk, and
has given eminent satisfaction to
all who have had business with
him III that capacity. He is young
man of fine business qualifications !;
has given specialstudy to the affairs
Of the county, and to the system
which is calculated to keep those
affairs i'll ship shape. He is kind,
courteous and accommodating to all,
and evel. at his post of duty adv
and willing to serve the people of
the county when they have business
with his office.
While Mr.. Wolf does not claim
anything as due him by the party,
still it is time honored usage OF
the Democratic party to reward Il
faithful public servant with another
term in his office, provided he has
served his people faithfully and
well. This Mr.. Wolff has d 1ne,
and there is no fair minded man
who is familiar with his official
career who could claim anything
else. For several years Mr.. Wolff
acted as deputy in order to qualify
himself to fill the office he now oc-
cupies, and he has succeeded SO
well that there is 10 man in the
county better qualified for the po-
sition.
Mr.. Wolff is native of the
county, raised on a farm; is well
known to the people of the county

aided efforts built himself up to the

BRAINS AND ENERGY.

"When I was boy" said Gen
eral Grant, "ny mother one morning
found herself without butter for
breakfast and sent me to borrow some
from a neighbor. Going into the
house without knocking, overheard
a letter read from the son of neigh
Dor who was then at West Point,
stating that he had failed in his ex-
animation and was coming home. I
got the butter, took it home, and
without waiting for my breakfast ran
te the ofhee Of the Congressman for
our district.
you appoint me to West Point r
mo; Davis is there, and has three
years to serve"
"But suppose he should fail-will
you send me-"
Mr.. Hammer laughed. 'If he
don't go through it's 10 use for you
to try, Uly."
Promise me you will give me the
chance, Mr.. Hammer, anyhow"
Mr.. Hammer promised. The next
day the defeated lad came home, and
the Congressman laughed at my sharp
ness and gave me the appointment.
Now" said Grant, cit was the
fact of my mothers being without
butter that made me General and
President"
But he was mistaken. 1t was his
own shrewdness to see the chance,
and the promptness to seize it, that
urged him upward.
He was resolute and unafraid al
ways; a boy to be trusted and coun-
ted upon-sturdy and capable of hard
knocks. If he said, II can do that, )"
he not merely meant that he would
try to do it, but that he had thought
his way to the successful end of un-
dertaking. He was an unusually de-
termined boy, and as man he did
not begin anything until he Under
stood it, and when he began he stuck
to it till 1t was accomplished S.

LARGEST CLOCK IN THE WORLD.

When the tower of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance building In Madi-
son Square, New York City, is COM
pleted, it will contain the largest clock
in the world. That distinction has
belonged for many years to big
Benz in Westminster Abbey, Lon
don, the dial of which is twenty-five
and one-half feet in diameter, while
that of the Metropolitan Building
clock will be twenty-five.
It will be clock suitable in every
way to be part of the tallest perma-
nent structure in the world, as the
new tower will be. The tower will
be forty-eight stories, 658 feet above
the street, and the clock will occupy
part of twenty-ffth, twenty-sixth and
twenty-seventh floors. The middle of
the dial will be 346 feet above the
street.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
dial will be little more than halfway
between the street and the top of the
tower, it will be far above all sur
rounding buildings. 1t will be fifty
feet higher than the Flatiron Build
ing. =.
The immense size of the clock will
make it easy to tell the time from a
great distance. The letters on the
dial will be four feet high and the
hands will be twelve feet long. Some
of the latest big clocks have been con-
structed to run by compressed air and
others by electricity. It is probable
that this giant clock will be electric
ally operated.

MARKET FOR BOYS.

"The annual recurrence of the CEN
tury-old child-labor market on March
3I-which many local journals de-
scribe as only a slightly disguised
selling into temporary slavery-has
again aroused storm of indignation
in the frontier provinces of Austria,
Switzerland, and Germany" writes
the correspondent of the Chicago Tn
bume.
''In the market place of Friedrich
shafen between 900 and 400 boys and
girls, from to IA years ofage, whose
homes are in the outlying districts OF
the Tyrol and the Vorarlborg, are con-
tracted out yearly for 7 months, from
April to the end of October, to farm
ers from Southern Bavaria, Wurtem-
burg and Baden. Little considera-
ton is given to the wishes of the chill
dren themselves, most of them being
sent into service against their will and
in order to satisfy the averice of their
parents. The children generally in
the charge of their parents reach
Friedrichshafen on labor market day.
Here they are drawn up on the mar
ket place and then brought forward
for inspection by crowd of farmers,
who look them over, feel and poke
their limbs, meanwhile discussing
loudly their physical merits and de-
merits. The whole day is thus pass
ed in the process Of selection. Grad
ually all are disposed of and those in
charge of the children then sign with
the farmers agreements for the seven
months bondage, and the sums agreed
urIcn are handed over. This usually
months to $I2. so, but sometimes lr
attains $50. Heartrending scenes
are witnessed when the children part
from their parents and are handed
over to their masters to be taken away
from all their relatives for seven long
months. The only bright point In
the transaction for the children is
the arrival of October 28, which is
called packing day." when the little
ones, on the completion of their bond
age, put their scanty belongings in a
bundle and set out on foot for Fried
richshafen again, where they assem-
BILE at the headquarters of the chill
dren's society, whence they are for
warded to their homes, probably to
go through similar process the fol-
lowing year."

OPT1Mrsr CLUB OF AMERICA,

This novel organization was recent
ly organized, with headquarters at
Salt Lake City, Utah, with Charles
A. Quickley, the vice-president and
general manager of the Studebaker
Bros. Company of Utah, as its presi-
dent, and the desire of the organiza-
tion is to create local club in every
hamlet, village, town and city in the
United States. Col. Charles Arthur
Carlisle, of the Studebaker Bros.
Manufacturing Co. of South Bend,
Ind, has gotten back of the Optimis-
tic Club of America, and is pushing
it forward to success in every direc-
ton. The philosophy of the club,
subject to modification and addition,
is as follows;
"God reigns; the nation still lives
and the sun still shines, even though
the clouds obscure it."
day for the lack of kind word, pat
on the back and little encourage
ment than there are from disease"
"The man who never makes any
mistakes never makes anything else. "
go bury thy sorrows, the world
hath its share. Just smile"
Before money was invented some
people were happy"
Shake hands as though you meant
it, and smile"
Nobody can really harm you but
yourself.
"You are under a real obligation to
every man on earth. "
"You can't put influence in glass
case. "
'The optimist wins"
"The greatest smiler is the great
est healer"
Smile, and the world delights
with you; croak, and you croak
alone"
"a smile is Gods own medicine" :"
In the realm of the birds the lark
is the optimist, the crow is the pessi-
mist. Why be crow?"
Organize a local club; improve
upon the philosophy quoted above if
you can; print and spread your work,
and let the motto of your club be:
"Not until every man and woman
has been successfully enlisted will we
haul down the unconquerable flag of
determination.

CORRECT SPEAKING.

MANY women overlook the fact that
nothing betokens true refinement more
unerringly than pure, earnest, we'll
modulated voice, free from affectation.
In fact, 1t is in the voice that the Sc
cret of the charm of many women lies.
Not every person may have the ad-
vantage of lessons In elocution, but
every person who will may cultivate
pure tone and a pleasant voice. The
first step in learning to talk well is
to breathe correctly. Let your tones
be clear and as musical as you can
produce them. Did you ever hear a
person speak the name Brown so that
it sounded really musical? Most peo-
pie pronounce it with the throat al
most closed and from the front of the
mouth. There must be resonance
in the voice.
There is no sound so perfect as the
hard palate. Do not waste your
breath in speaking but let your last
tone be as distinct as the first. Listen
to yourself when you speak, and
catch the first false note. Do not
speak in monotone, but modulate your
voice to give expression, just as you
would follow the signs in music.
Certain words-the sweetest, the
tenderest-are the most expressive
pianissimos, just as you would use
the soft pedal in producing the sweet
est strains of instrumental music. No
one ever screams out, II love you. !"
If he did you wouldn't believe it, even
| if you were listening to these words
from your first lover.
The undertone is always the tone
of direct danger. Pitch your voice to
suit the time and place-not too low
as to appear secret, nor too high as
to seem bold and nervous. Learn to
control your voice perfectly, and to
use it to give pleasure to the Listener
as we'll as do credit to yourself. Me
CaWs Magagine.
