The Politician and the cot.sed.

A Western politician tells the fol-
lowing story as illustrating the incon-
veniences attached to campaigning in
certain sections OF the coutry.
Upon his arrival at one OF the small
town In South Dakota, where he was
to make speech the following day,
he found that the so-called hotel was
crowded to the doors, Not having
tolegraphed for accommodations. the
politician discovered chat he would
have to make shift as best he could.
Accordingly, he was obliged for that
night to sleep on ? wire cot which had
only some blankets and sheet on
it. As the politician is an extremely

THE HIGH COST
OF LIVING REDUCED

Much has been said about the high
cost of living, its causes. and the pos
sibilities of It's reduction. But little
has been said about the most costly
leak: the false economy existing to-
day in nearly every household.
Much foodstuffs are bought with
but one point in view: How cheap
can get it?" without thought Oh
quality or after cost One OF the
most serious is baking powder.
BY the use of perfect baking pow
der the housewife can derive as much
economy as from any other article
used in baking and cooking. In Sc
lecting the baking POWDER therefore,
care should be exercised to purchase
one that retains its original strength
and always remains the same, thus
making the food sweet and whole
some and producing sufficient leaven-
ing gas to make the baking light
Very little OF this leayening gas is
produced by the cheap baking pow
ders. making it necessary to use
double the quantity ordinarily re-

Burton, and, therefore not a material
representation" and the statement
made by Mr.. Burton as to the length
and width of the barn inasmuch as 1t
was before the plaintiff and could have
been easily measured by him, Is not
material representation.
Part of the farm was owned and
conveyed by the defendant, and the
other part was owned and conveyed
by his wife, Lucy Burton. to the plain
tiff, but all the alleged representations
having been made by the defendant
the two cases are, by agreement, tried
as one and as though he conveyed the
whole.
The land described in the writ con-
sisted of four different pieces namely,
the Burton home farm, on which were
the buildings, being lot No. 4, in the
5th range; east of this the Nathan
Burton lumber lot, being the south
half of lot No. 3 in the 5th range and
the north half of lot No 3 in the 4th
range; further east a parcel of land
consisting of all of the lot No. in the
5th range, part of lot No in the
fourth range; and next easterly a par
Gel of n acres in the fifth range.
The misrepresentation claimed are
to the location of the northerly and
southerly lines of the Nathan Burton
lumber lot; the southerly line of the
Lucy Burton lot No. 4; also in regard
to the size of the barn and the pro-
ductiveness of the farm
The refusal to give the requested
| instructions was proper, because the
legal propositions involved in them
were not correct in their entirety
Giving the plaintiff the benefit of the
most favorable inference which may
be drawn from the evidence. the liza
bility of the defendant must be limited
to the representations made by him in
regard to the productiveness of the
farm, the others alleged being either
not sufficiently proved. or, as proved,
not actionable representations Here
the testimony is in direct conflict. The
statements claimed by the plaintiff to
nave been made by the defendant re-
! latlVe to the quality of hay cut on the
| farm were statements of fact, the sub

purchase the farm, and, that the de-

Clerk of Court
Or County Clerk?

Ellsworth, Me, Oct. 2O.-A serious
question has been raised when may
affect the election of clerks of courts
in the 10 counties of Maine in which
their terms expire with this year The
trouble arises from the use of the title
county clerk" instead of clerk OF
courts'' on the official ballot in the re-
cent state election.
The law court of Maine may be call
ed upon for it's opinion as to the leg
ality of the election so far as that par
ticular office is concerned, and may
order a new election for that Office
in 10 counties.
The error in the ballot, which origi-
mated in the secretary of States Office
grew out of a law enacted by the last
Legislature that 1.-The clerk of the
county commissioners shall be known
as the county clerk"
The statutes provide that clerk of
courts shall be elected by the people
The law also provides that the clerk
of courts shall be clerk of the county
commissioners.
The two offices are entirely distinct
one elective, the other nOt-though
the law provides that one incumbent
shall hold both.
The subject is being widely discuss
ed in legal circles in the State, and
prominent lawyers predict serious dis
arrangement of judicial machinery ii

lenged, and the Governor issue certifi-
