What may probably be the reason

When Sheriff and Mrs. Grant Scheaf-

idence from Reynoldsville they brought

of whom, John, was a lad of IA, weigh

or. to be exact, 26 months, this stripping
kid has grown 81 inches in height and
now stands feet and II inches, while
he sags the scale beam at 176 pounds.
No wonder fellows with boys to raise
are anxious to break iuto the sheriffs

nocker is getting some help in his cam
paign for the treasurership from this

currence which would separate the boy

Electric Liuht Bulbs,

1t has been remarked that the effec
tive life Of incandescent electric lamps
Is much longer with clear than with
ground glass bulbs. 10. p. Hyde ex-
plains this fact as follows: A thin de
posit Of carbon Is formed on the in.
terror surface of the bulbs, and this
absorbs a certain portion of the radia
tion from the filament When the
glass is clear the light passes straight
through, suffering a definite loss from
the carbon film. When the glass Is
frosted the light undergoes many re
Elections In the interior of the bull
from the innumerable facets, and al
each reflection it loses something OIL
account of the obstructing film. The
consequence is that the total amount
of loss is much greater with ground
glass than with clear glass. Mr.
Hyde's experiments show that the fila
ment lasts as long in the one kind Of
bulb as in the other.-Youths Com
panion.

The Popular Ex. Commissioner Making a
Strong Race for Treasurer.
W. G. Murray, Of Reynoldsville, who

April, was in Brookville on Wednesday
while on his way home from a tour
through the northern and western Sec

In his return to private life the most
kindly feeling of all those acq uaintances.
Since taking up his active canvass for
the treasurer nomination Mr.. Murray
has met with such encouragement from
the voters OF the county as to lead him
to believe that his candidacy meets
with their approval. and from all parts
of the county comes word of CONNER

r publican and public official. Mr..
Murray has been tried in the refining
fire of public life and has proven him.
self capable and trustworthy. These
attributes, coupled with his personal
popularity, will make him a deciding

KEPT WITHIN BOUNDS.
Young People In Virginia In Chief
Justice Marshal's Day.

In an old biography of Chief Justice
Marshall there is an anecdOte which
gives significant hint of the disci
pline to which young people were sub
ject in that earlier day.
Several of the great jurist's nieces
were in the habit of visiting him, and
as they were young and attractive the
house became rendezvous for the
leading young men of the city during
the afternoons. Judge Marshalrs black
major dopiO, old Uncle Joseph, held a
tight rein upon these visitors. Every
day at o'clock he would appear at
the door of the drawing room in spot
less livery and with a profound bow
would announce:
Ladies, his honor the chief justice
has retired to his room to prepare for
dinner.
Gentlemen, dinner will be served at
half past 4 o'clock. 1t is now 4. His
honor will be pleased If you will re-
main, and covers have been laid for
you at the table. If you cannot re
main, will you permit the young ladies
to retire to prepare for the mealF''
The gentlemen usually took their
leave, and the ladies retired in an Ill
hnmor, but any remonstrance with Jo-
seph was only answered by: ut is the
rule of the house. Young folks must
be kept within bounds"
In Virginia houses of the better class.
Notwithstanding their almost bound
less hospitality, the calls Of young men
in that day were strictly held within
limit No one was received as visitor
to an unmarried girl unless his ante
cedents and character were well known
to her parents.
