Virginia Republicans.

'The Virginia republicans have nom- mated clean, high class man for gov ernor-W. P. Kent-but I do not think they can win," said member of Bir- mingham's Virginia colony.
 "The republicans in convention at New port News have just adopted a local option platform and this of itself will catch a considerable vote. But think that Harry St. George Tucker, con- sistent local option democrat. is almost sure to win in the primary over Judge Mann, the anti-saloon candidate
 If so Tucker will be the next gov. ernor. Should Mann, however, be the successful candidate In the primary Kent, the republican, would stand a bet ter show, but the democratic party is still strong in Virginia and almost any sort of candidate having the indorsement of the party would be hard to beat.'

TUB HEROIC TRAIT. :"


 Sometimes when we make mean remarks about our neighbors and those neighbors eventually turn out to be rather a good sort. with kindly and helpful traits, we wish down in our hearts that we had never referred to them in a contemptu- ous way. Now, my lady's rat has eism and a great deal of ridicule, but it has not shown any resentment, pre- ferring to do it's work in It's own way. Here of late the rat has stepped into the limelight, as 1t were, as a life-saver whose claims to recognition and universal applause cannot be denied Only the other day womans husband, no doubt mean man, struck her on the head with ham mer, but the ever-ready rat interposed and prevented her skull from being frac- tured. A young woman in Columbus, O., got of trolley car in the wrong way a woman's way-and alighted on her head. What softened the impact of her head against the pavement, do you suppose? Her rat" Another young woman in New York was shot at by her jealous lover and might have been killed, but the bullet lodged in her "rat' and she wasn't hurt and was able to tell all the newspaper reporters how 1t happened. "Rah for the 'rat'!" Is what we say.

So Faith Temple began her sojourn
at Maple Farm, and delightful So
journ it was. The restraint and mar

She romped about like a wild child.
She climbed trees and picked berries
and hunted eggs. And when she quiet
ed down she sat on the great porch
and read aloud to the hOstress or sang
to her, and talked in her vivacious
way about her experience in the
great city.
And the two women were helpful
to each ether. The girl banished the
loneliness CT the older woman's life,
and the gentle sweetness OF the older
woman's character softened and en-
nCbled the character of the girl.
But where are your other board
