ASHTON FOR SENATOR
WHY?

ascertain JUST WHY Gen. James
NJ Ashton has entered this fight
at this late hour. It is not our
wish to give voice to discordant
note. We do not wish to be con-
sidered as one who is out of har-
mony with the majority of our
fellow citizens-BUT WE would
like to know-WHO put Ashton
in the race? And whyY 1t is I'M
necessary for one to possess the
mind Of past master in the great
game Of politics to note that some
one has Numbered in this cam
paign. If General Ashton is the
Well-informed man Of political af-
fairs that he is given credit for he
must know that the lines in the
senatorial race are drawn as tight
as the ''head of drum" Wilson,
Poindexter and Burke each have
partial organization in each
county of the state. Jno. E.
HUMPHREYS and Leigh Freeman
have been working overtime for
the last year. Does Ashton be-
lieve that his name is magnet
and that the people will "fall
down" to worship himY lie he is
laboring under this belief we sin
cerely hope he will be aroused
from his slumbers and look the
SQUARE IN THE EYE.
General Ashton has not as yet
issued a platform or a set of dec
and if he has a card up
his sleeve we would like to see
him play it. Tacoma needs rep
in Washington, but we
are barking up the wrong tree
when we try to make ourselves
believe that we have a remote
chance for a senator at this time.
[f the business interests, press,
and workers had accepted Mr..
Mccormick s candidacy in a loyal
spirit and if his health would have
been spared him, Tacoma could
awe had chance and A GOOD
ONE, but McCormack's candidacy
was treated like a door mat. Per-
zins didn It want him, because he

TIME supposedly for pure cussed-

Smell was amply able to make the

Wind campaigner, BUT 1T WAS
roo LATE, as he expressed it to

what ground can the Ashton peo-
ole hope to win with about ninety

! foolhardy proposition to expect
hat a lineup with McCredie will

must be remembered that Poin-

candidates would fall on McCre-

tricks. Again, McCredie is a

Novels as Serials.

Book buyers and collectors OF first
editions will be interested in the re-
vival of the practice of issuing novels
in monthly parts. Fifty or sixty years
ago the practice was common enough;
most of the popular works Of the
early Victorian novelists were so pub
lished and the appearance of install
ments of Thackeray in yellow and of
Dickens in green was eagerly looked
forward to by hundreds Of thousands
of readers. If a story really arouses
public interest, this method Of publ
cation is very profitable to the author
and the publisher, but it is by no
mean certain that the production of
any living writer will rival the pop
ularity of any of the classic novelists.
Perhaps the only author likely to
achieve success in monthly guise is

The Evolution Of a
Gentleman.
eeeeeoeOeeoeooeOOo

If one turn back to the sixth CEN
tury before Christ to find out what
was required Of a gentleman n Is
rewarded by finding that, though the
ideal has grown, it has never radical
Iy changed; though, in the course OF
ages, it has had superf1uous accre-
lions that have been Topped off again,
it remains essentially n growth.
The heartening part of the whole
matter is that humanity, in the voice
Of it's wise men, has never ceased de-
handing certain answering ideals.
To this ideal the chief contribu-
ton of Epictetus was the Stole indif-
ference, refraining from all such
things as are not under our control.
When it was reported to Agrippinus
that his trial was going on in the
| Senate he replied: IT hope it may
turn out we'll. But now it Is the fifth
hour; let US go and take our exer-
cise." And having taken his exer-
else, one reported to him, you are
condemned" Then he said, Let US
60 to Aricia and dine"
Practically what Epictetus had to
add to the ideal Of a gentleman was
that he should make himself
ridiculous by inflated hopes or waste
his energies in kicking against the
bricks. Seek not that the things
which happen should happen as You
wish, but wish that the things which
happen be as they are"
1t seems that modern life has add
| ed two more qualities to the ideal
of a gentleman; one, that which is SO
beautifully depicted by Pater as The
attribute of almost all his heroes eX-
cept Sebastian van Storck; it is The
quality which led Marius to take as
his motto through life, "Tristem,
neminem fecit;" a kind of tender sus-
ceptibility to the necessary sorrow
and desolation of human life which
led him to go softly all his days in
fear Of hurting others. The final
quality. not once limited at in the
earlier ideals. is that Of self-efface-
ment winch BrOWulHS polhIs out III
his hero, Horakles, when he says OF
him:
HE held his life out lightly on his
hand
For any mar to take"
A distinguished quality, too, of our
own great Lincoln, who, when he was
urged to declare suddenly the eman-
cipation of all the slaves, told his
emissaries that the proclamation was
not feasible, but added: I'VE shall
need all the anti-slavery feeling in
the country and more; you can go
home and try to bring people to your
views; and you may say anything you
like about me, if that will help.
Don't spare me-
Don't spare me- a life held light
ly, a courage hardly ven aware of
itself, an enthusiasm for great
causes; aye, and for each and any
member of this great thing We call
human society. which utterly efaces
the self. this is the last addition to
, the ideal of a gentlemau.-Harper's
/ Weekly.

For Scandalmongers.

The Orleans Museum has just been
enriched with a curious relic OF the
past, which some workmen in making
excavations in the city came across.
It is a stone representing a grinning
figure, showing the teeth, the coun-
tenance being repellant enough. In
this way the loquacious woman, the
scandalmonger, was brought to her
senses. The stone, suspended by a
chain, was placed round her neck,
and so accoutered, she was compelled
to walk round the town in which she
lived. The stone is supposed to date
about the sixteenth century. Our
French friends are fond OF calcula-
tons, so if one stone were sufficient
for a town three centuries ago, the
problem suggests itself, how many
such instruments of torture would be
necessary to-day to deal with the I'M
ruly members of the fair sex?-Lon-

Fashionable Sleeves.

The sleeve of raglan or kimono
cut is in again. 1t is none too easy
of accomplishment, and there is no
cause of dissatisfaction on the part OF
the amateur who is not wholly sue
cessful in her first attempt. 1t needs
a certain breadth of shoulder and
should be avoided by those who would
gain width in effect at least. The
raglan sleeve in the main has a mar
rowing effect, but is well suited to the
woman of comfortable proportions
and generous shoulder measurements.
