of candidates appears in this issue
and it behooves all interested persons
to inaugurate their campaign for a

Remember, any lady, married or

will be but a small part of the present
list. A girl usually hesitates long
time before she takes up PROPOSE
ton like this and there is where she
loses the best time. Why hesitate
about trying in this con,est? 1t
doesn't cost cent to try, so you can't
possibly lose anything, and just think
what you could gain. Why, just think!
BY devoting some of your time to col

of these prizes if you will start now
and do your best for the next seven
weeks.
Over 100000 worth of prizes are to
be given away absolutely free to the
workers in this contest. Can you find
a better proposition anywhere? OF
course, you can't win all the prizes,
but you can win $4,000 Piano, and
that would certainly recompense any
one for few weeks effort, that will
prove to be a pleasant diversion. 1t

every chance to gain. Try few

you to take advantage of it. Oppor-

Crawford County Girls Ready for the
Contest.

Crawford County Girls Ready for the
Contest.
The Review gives an opportunity to
young ladies of this city and county
to participate in their most liberal
offer. The Reviews Big Popular
Voting Contest, which has been
launched, is we'll worth the considera-
ton of the young ladies.
The Review has conducted several
contests, and in each instance has
stood for square deal and as fair
TT each and every contestant. In all
previous contests the young ladies'
taking part have been satisfied at the
close; knowing full well that each re-
ceived the same impartial treatment.
For this reason all of the many young
ladies of Crawford county who enter
our present contest may rest assured
that all have an equal opportunity.
Since the first announcement of our
big contest many nominations have
been received Everybody is now
talking of the big contest and many
inquiries have been received for more
complete particulars. This, our pres
ent contest, bids fair to be the larg-
est ever conducted in this section of
the state. Why shouldn't it when you
consider the magnifcence of the
prizes offered.
1t will be an easy matter for the
candidates to pile up big votes. No
difficulty will be experienced in get
ting subscriptions. There are fifty
reasons why the Review is the best
paper in the county, any one of which
carries enough weight to secure
subscription.
The time is now. The place is Den
ison and the Review is the medium
whereby everyone can utilize excess
energy in doing good turn for some
particular friend and, incidentally,
bringing pleasure to others through
placing the Review in their homes.
AS stated before, every candidate
has an equal showing. The Review
contest is conducted absolutely on the
square and is one that will appeal
to all lovers of enterprise and prog
resS.
The 'early bird" doesn't always
make the most noise, but it is apt to
get in for the big prize. 1t is very
evident from the interest already

easiest to keep clean, therefore the

No l is a good type of sanitary
stool made of metal. The ends Of
the pipes used for the legs are filled
with lead, and there are no corners
to collect dirt.
Nos. 2 and 4 are similar to No. l.,
except that caps are screwed on the
ends of the legs, making them slightly
more difficulty to keep clean.
No. serves for both pail and milk
stool. The cover, hoops, bail, ETC.,
make it more difficult to keep clean
than the simpler styles.
No. 5 is devised so that one end
serves as a receptacle to hold the
pail while the mixer sits on the
other end. AS in the case of No. 8,
this style is more difficult to keep
in sanitary condition than the SIM
pier forms.
No. is constructed entirely of iron,
galvanized after being put together.
1t is simply constructed, having only
a single leg. The base, however, fur
nishes a larger surface to keep clean.

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by pris-
oner who gave himself away in a very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about a dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex-
claimed excitedly, THAT was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz-
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter,
and broad smile spread over his face.
His blunder did not cost anything

She was going home from concert
a few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her fiance. AS
he happens to be a fireman whose
station is in her own neighborhood it
occurred to her it would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass of the fire alarm and
sounding a call.
She did so anr in few moments

lions, all laden with firemen, of course,
but alas! her fiance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire.
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought it would be simple way
of bringing her fiance to her side.

Bankers and Bank Notes.

Four men, three of whom were con-
nected with brokerage concerns in the
Wall street district, were discussing
United States paper currency and the
disappearance of counterfeits. 1--WE
are so sure nowadays" said one of
the party, "as to the genuineness of
bills that little attention is paid to
them in handling, except as to de-
nomination" To prove his assertion
he took a SO yellowback from his
pocket, and, holding 1t up, asked who
could tell whose portrait it bore. No
one knew, and by way of coaching
the broker said it was the first treas
urer of the United States. Again no
one knew the name. "Why, It's
Michael Hillegas," said the man
proudly. But in confidence, I'll tell
you, I didn't know 1t five minutes

Difference IN THE RACES
Mexicans In the Main Unjust In
Blaming Americans for Lack
of Politeness.

All the Mexican correspondents
who have written on the subject Of
why Americans are not better liked
by Mexicans agree that it is largely a
question Of lack of politeness on
the part of the foreigner here, and in
some cases an ill-concealed contempt.
The latter is inexcusable, and certain
ly must emanate only from 1ncons1d-
crate or poorly educated persons, from
which no nation Is free. Politeness,
however, is largely a matter of form
and training. 1t is undeniable that
the Anglo-Saxon salutations, methods
of expressing thanks and apprecia-
ton, ETC., are simpler and shorter
than the Latin forms. To many who
have all their lives been accustomed
to the briefer Saxon ways, an attempt
of the more elaborate Latin poiiteness
seems, for them, nothing short Of af-
fectation, and they simply cannot do
It. There are exceptions among Amer
leans and Englishmen who readily
adopt the courteous phrases of the
Mexicans and use them naturally. but
difficult to see how this can readily
be changed. Our Mexican friends
should understand, on the other hand,
that If Anglo-Saxons do not, as rule,
go through as many social formalities
as the usages of the land prescribe,
they mean no offense thereby. They
are accustomed to taking a good
many things for granted that their
Latin cousins give verbal assurance
of. Naturally, 1t is the duty of the
outlander to conform as nearly as he
can to the ways of his adopted coun-
try, but human nature and settled
habits are pretty hard to make over,
particularly unless you catch them
while they're young.-Mexican Her

PLANTING Wedding oaks.

Princess August Wilhelm. wife of
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task Of reviving one Of Germany's
Oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately af-
ter the marriage ceremony plant a cou-
pie of oak saplings side by side in q
park or by the roadside of their ma
tive town.
The town Of Mulchausen, in Thurin-
gia, is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal. A municipal official ap-
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in car
riage to a new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by former elector Of Brandenburg
with the object of repairing the raw
ages caused by tle 80 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar
ry until they had planted a number Of
fruit trees.
