Heredity Plainly i'm Evidence.

William L. Ferguson, of Seelyville,
whose long connection with Wayne coun-
ty affairs, more especially of late years
as President OF the Wayne County Agri-
cultural Society, has given him as wide
an acquaintance throughout the county
as is enjoyed by any man now living,
was born in Barnet township, Caledonia
county Vermont, on the 9th of July, 1918,
and was consequently fourscore and
ten years of age" ninety years young, !"
as he jovially puts ton the 9th of last
July. Those who may have marvelled
at his astonishing vigor of mind and
body at such an advanced age, will per-
haps abate their wonder whenthey learn
that his father, James Ferguson, who
was born in Glasgow, Scotland, August
16, 1771, came to this country in 1888,
with his grandmother, who died at Ly-
man, New Hampshire, at very near the
century point, while his father reached
the remarkable age of one hundred
years and six months. An anecdote,
illustrative of James Ferguson reten-
ton of manly strength in an unusual de-
gree in his advanced years, is still told in
Caledonia county, although his death
occurred thirty-seven years ago. The
story is taken from a Peacham paper
printed in 1885. June lst was training
day" in Vermont, in those days, and
may be now for all we know. The story
runs as follows:
"The first Tuesday in June was gala
day with the men and boys in this town
sixty years ago when they met for their
annual June training.
ait was on one of these occasions that
that they met at Peacham Hollow.
''James Ferguson was up from Barnet.
He lived to be one-hundred years and
six months old. AT the time of the June
training in question, Mr.. Ferguson was
about siXty-tive years old. In his young
days he was considered the fastest run
ner in all our section. Thomas @.
Clarke made his brags about being the
fastest runner at that time.
"On this training day, he stepped up
to Uncle James and asked him at what
time in life he lost his faculty Tor run
ming. Lost = said old Jim. Il haven't
lost it yet :
"At this the men and boys saw fur
brewing and called for race.
Capt. Clarke said he would not bt
seen running a race with an old mar
like Ferguson. At this the old maj
made a mark in the dirt with the toe o
his shoe, and placing his toe on thu
mark, shouted defiantly: Tom, IL
take ye down to the pile of rails yonde
and back
"The men and boys yelled and Capt
Tom was obliged to place his toe on th'
line and make ready for the race.
"'One twol run = and away the!
went. Uncle Jim got to the pile ant
touched the rails first. On his way bacl
he met Capt. Tom and said Mr.. Clack
at what time in life do you expect t.
run with Aud Jim Feggy?'"

REPUBLICANS,

WAY down in North Carolina, six
miles from any railroad depot, there is
printed a Republican newspaper. 1t
started few years ago with thirty sub
scribers and was printed on press
worked by foot power. Only one en-
ployee, and he was the. employer, be-
Ing editor, devil and everything else.
To-day the paper has over half mil
hon subscribers and is still growing. 1t
now has Webb perfecting press, that
prints, folds and turns out 40, 900 papers
Der hour. The paper is thoroughly Re-
publican, of the original red hot brand;
it is unique, original in style and is
guaranteed to make the chronic ortho-
dox Democrat sit up and feel ashamed of
himself and the straight-out Republican
full of ebullition without the aid of
''Peruna" or any of its undressed as
sociates. The name of this paper is
The YclIosc Jacket. 1t is a stinger, and

known forms of political cussedness,
and is good to take whether you need il

French argument for investing in bonds
rather than in babies. An article on the
impracticality of practical" educa-
ton by Dean Birge of the University OF
Wisconsin, and delightful memories OF

Shaler, follow. Redfern Mason contrib
utes an article on Musical Suggestion, -
while Mrs. Meynell's paper on the cOin-
try of Edmund Spenser and William Gar

HARRISBURG LETTER.

The recent acquittal of the murdererS
of Annis in New York state, and of
Captain Erb in this state, have aroused
considerable newspaper discussion. The
plea of seH-defence in the latter case
seemed tarclcal, but the Jury evidently
believed it. Erb was no better than the
law allows, but did nothing, 30 far as the
evidence showed, to deserve to be shot
to death. Justice travels with leaden
heels and bandaged eyes, and as a re-
suit human life is held too lightly.
One of the interesting questions of the
day is what shall be done with the statue
of Senator Quay which, ordered by
previous Legislature, has been paid for,
but the particular niche where it shall
repose has not yet been selected. Those
who assert that the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings are afraid TO act
in this respect must be strangers in this
state.
From out of the numerous suggestions
about good roads, amending the present
act, etc., will probably come an act
which will plan for a Commission to
work out q system, instead of the piece
meal method under which we work at
present.
Some opposition to George T. Oliver
has been aroused despite the fact that
he seems to have the endorsement of q.

Senator Knox. 1t is likely to result il

with which he will have to be content.

OF Course 1t Does.

A farmer finds q one dollar bill and
appropriates it, by right of discovery, to
himself. He goes to town and pays it to
= newspaper man on what he owes him !;
the newspaper man hands it over to a
merchant to settle his account; the mer-
chant pays his meat bill with it: and the
butcher pays it back to the original finder
to finish paying for calf he had pur.
chased. After which the farmer takes
it to the bank and discovers it to be a
counterfeit. Query: Are all these debts
cancelled with the spurious one dollar
bill ?-EDchange.
Yes. How does this transaction differ
from one in which man gives an order
tcr dollar on someone owing him that
amount, to q person to whom he owes a
dollar? If the order is accepted the first
mans debt is discharged. The second
man endorses the order and pays it to
the third to whom he owes dollar, and
H-again accepted the second mans OBJ
igauon is discharged. The third man
1ndorses it, and it goes to the fourth,
and so on, indefinitely, If you choose, the
srder being good for its purpose every
time, even up to the final transaction il
which it returns to the original drawer
in payment of dollar debt due to him
In other words, if A owes B dollar,
and b owes G a dollar, and c owes A
q dollar, counterfeit note or a blank
piece of paper, or a worthless order
passed around the triangle, would settle
Che whole business.

The century-old statute providing that
M magistrates, such as justices of the
peace and aldermen, shall file with the
prothonotaries of the courts of their
counties acceptances of election within
thirty days after the ballots selecting
them have been cast will probably be re-
pealed this session of the Legislature. A
bill to wipe the old law off the books has
been prepared and introduced. This
law has given much trouble in the last
twenty years. Often men elected to such
Offices neglected to file the formal ac-
ceptance and whenthe time came around
to assume Office found that they could
not obtain acommission from the Cover
nor. The result was that they had to
make application for appointment to the
vacancy caused by their own failure to
comply with formality and could only
hold for year an Office for which they
8 had been elected for the term of six. 1t
is held that the man must want the OF
fee or he would not run for it, and that
the acceptance is an empty proceeding.

If the measure before the Pennsyl.
vania Legislature to oblige merchants
and dealers to plainly mark cold stor-
age eggs becomes law, there will be
few ovals sold six months of the year
that are not branded. The penalty tor
selling decomposed or partly decom-
posed eggs is placed at from 5000 to ST.
600, or from three to nine months in
Jail, or both. Ii such law is enacted,
there will be few merchants who will
care or dare to handle eggs, unless there
