Richard Coniston was in love with
a picture. He who had Travelled
thrice around the world and seen the
famous beauties of many lands was
irresistibly attracted by a wholesome
American girl outlined on calendar.
The picture was evidently from a
photograph. The girl stood In the
foreground, slenderly graceful and
vigorous, smile on her winsome
face. She was poised in the act OF
swinging a golf club on little white
ball. In the background was fine
old gentleman with snowy side
whiskers, two or three caddies and
some lookers-on.
Coniston, young and rich. had set
tied down on his big estate, deter
mined to wander no more; but two
months of staring at THE Golf Girl,
as he called her, had aroused the old
restlessness. He felt that at least he
must see her.
At the bottom of the calendar was
the name of a publishing house To-
Gated In Chicago. In small letters
was also the copyright imprint OF the
calendar manufacturers. They were
In New York. Chicago was nearest
to Coniston. though still long dis
tance away. He packed his bag one
morning. after wrapping up the cal
endar very carefully and slowing II
therein. and left for Chicago.
Some days later he reached the
city. 1t was easy to find the printing
house and get an interview with the
manager The latter recognized the
picture instantly. Yes, that was
some work which their presses had
turned off a year before for q
Photographic supply firm.
"A Photographic supply flrm?'
echoed Coniston in surprise. why
this bears the advertisement OF the
Idlewild Calendar Company"
Cant help that" returned the
manager. I'VE got 1t out for the
Camera Supply Company. Of Port
land, Maine. We simply print the
pictures and mount them; they put
the inscription on themselves. After

believes that they offer to the voters
a man whose integrity and rectitude
is above criticism. He served TWO
terms from 1892 until 1896. and
was looked upon as being one of the
best officers the county ever had
to act in such capacity. He retired
from office with a clear record for
his uprightness and honesty. The
party believes and that sincerely,
that he is the only mar in this dis
trict who can and will satisfy the
needs of this end Of the county at
this, the most, critical period Of a
rapidly developing section. He is
a fervent supporter Of good roads,
that the farmers may have the bene-
fit of transportation for their pro-
ducts to market. He is also a be-
lever in good schools: also in eQuit-
able taxation to meet all Of the
current expenses and his party
firmly adheres to the belief that
Mr.. Warner is the man who should
