Engraved Gems OF the AneionSs.
Engraved gems are among the most
interesting objects of art inherited by
us from the ancients. Though many
Of the canoes and intaglios were en-
graved on precious stones over 1900
years ago, they are still as clear and
fine as If they were cut yesterday.
The designs engraved on these stones
indicate that the old Greeks and Ro-
mans regarded them as charms against
accident or misfortune. This super
stition generally took the form of
fondness for representation OF certain
animals Sailors affected the dolphin
because it was believed to be the mari
ner's friend. Women. so far as fishes
were concerned. preferred the repre-
sentation Of the prolific aringa Of the
Adriatic, which was a symbol Of fruit

Among the interesting features Of

Ontario, are the floating stores. A
GOOD sized steam vessel fitted out with
every imaginable item Of merchandise
that might be required makes a tour
Of an assigned chain Of lakes once
each week. On a certain hour Of a
certain day the boat is expected at
the different resorts and summer
homes, and enough merchandise must
be bought at each to tide over until
the next trip Of the floating store.
Upon stepping on board the store
boats, says a writer in Popular Me-
chanics. the purchaser approaches
counter with scales and cash drawer,
as in any other kind Of store. Behind
the counter are Shelves on which are
displayed such articles as may tempt

indianapolis Man Republican
Candidate for SeCre-
tary of State.
CARL RIDDICK ALSO OUT
ENTRANCE OF TUCKER INTO THE
ARENA, IT IS PREDICTED, WILL
MEAN A GREAT FIGHT ON GER
TAIN LINES,

Indianapolis, Aug. 9.-Robert G.
Tucker of this city, has gotten into
the race for the republican nomination
for secretary of state, and his friends
say he will make a determined fight
for the place. The only other candi-
date mentioned thus for this nomina-
ton is Carl Riddick of Winamac, the
present secretary of the republican
state committee. And it is not even
certain that Riddick will be a candi-
date, although the general understand
ing is that he will be.
The entrance of Tucker into the race
for the nomination may mean a big
fight along certain lines. Tucker is
the Indianapolis correspondent for the
Cincinnati Enquirer and his political
dope" which he serves to that paper
Sunday is read with a good deal of
interest over the state. He has been
an Indianapolis newspaper man for
years. He was such an ardent sup
porter of James E. Watson that many
people believed that he was to have
something good out of it-probably
would be appointed Watson's private
secretary in case of his election as
governor Tucker knows all of the
politicians in the state, and it is be.
lieved that he has received some en-
couragement from them to enter the
fight for secretary of state.
Riddick was believed to have no op
position for the nomination until Tuck
er's name was posted, and it was
thought that he would get the nomin'
alton unanimously in return for the
hard work which he had done in the
last two campaigns. He and Chair
man Goodrich have worked together
in politics for several years, and HI
knows the game all the way through
There is large element in the party
which believes that Mr.. Riddick is en-
titled to the nomination by reason o
his faithful service and if he stays il
the race it is altogether probable tina
it will be a hot one.

Blessings on thee. little man! Go

Cigarette Smoker Finds no Jobs
Awaiting Him in Gay New York

Lawrenceville, Pa, Aug. 9.-That the
heads of big enterprises are not TAX
ing men addicted to the cigarette and
beer habits, is shown by the experience
of a boy of seventeen years, living
near Wellsboro. who went to visit
friends in New York. He saw an ad-
vertisement from a big department
store wanting a young man to fill u
certain job, and he applied. He was
there early and was shown into the
presence of the head of the firm. The
following conversation took place:

ACCEPTED.

Prof. Lee Ault, superintendent OF
the Cambridge City schools denies
that the story in Saturdays issue
that there had been trouble in the
school system, with himself, Mrs. Isa-
dore Wilson and DIR. Boyd as princi-
pals. Supt Ault says the story is \
great injustice to himself, DR.. Boyd
and Mrs. Wilson.
He says there has been no serious
difficulty between himself and Mrs.
Wilson. However he admitted that he
had called Mrs. Wilson's attention
last February to lack of school discip-
! line. Prof. Ault further stated that
s'.ad there been serious difficulty be-
tween himself and Mrs. Wilson, he
would not have wanted her to succeed
herself when the teachers were ap-
pSinted last spring.
= Prof. Ault says that DR.. Boyd is still
q member of the board by reason of
the fact that his successor Mr.. Petro
has not given his bond. He claims
that DR.. Boyd announced several
months ago that his business was So
great he could not continue a member
of the board and therefore would not
accept another term.
Cambridge Bonds Refused.

of the various school trustees of the
school corporations of Wayne county

school trustees were forwarded to the

it was not known at the time that suct
bond could not be legally given
This year, however. the requirement
was made that the law would have t.

of the Richmond school board had filed
theirs, although all were in readiness

dislike wearing the same clothes on
two consecutive days. more particu-
larly the necktie. For the first two

You will have no cheat unless you

Cheat is more common among oats in
the South than among wheat, for the
cheat seed is very much like a small

oats without suspecting their pres

and the oats get killed, but the hardy
cheat grows, and the farmer, seeing
green leaves, imagines that 1t is oats
