Judge R. C. Smith home
 from the Jungles.

Hon. R. c. Smith came home last Saturday after a stay of three weeks in the jungles of the mountains near Heber. The stories the Judge tells are wonder ful. He and his friends, who accompanied him, succeeded in getting some very fine game.
 Quail and Phasants were too small to be noticed. The festive Turkey and the antlered deer were more to their liking. But after a while they tired of such game as these and turned their attention to Lions and Bears. It seems that their good luck still remained with them and they
 brought down a number of these fierce beasts of the tall pines.
 The Judge says he. Heber Penney and Charley Cooley kill ed one of the largest Brown Bear ever seen in this part of the world. The Judge IS having the pelt treated and will make a rug of it. We are glad we can report thIs good news for the Court and his associates, but the way he killed all these Turkeys,
 Lions and Bears, we have been unable to learn. The Judge says he had a very large and power

A PAIR OF NOTABLES.

One of the most eloquent of the new
Congressmen is Harry Thaw's last at
torney, Martin w. Littleton, the Dem
ocrat who won out in Colonel Roose-
velt's own Oyster Bay district. He is
a young man-only thirty eight and
was born down in Tennessee.
Robert e. Lee. the virile young Dem
ocrat who has just been elected to
Congress in the Pottsville, Pa, dis
trict, over Robert d. Heaton, million
sire Republican, by plurality of only
81 votes, is blacksmith, or rather a
former blacksmith, who has carved his
own destiny and commanded recognition
by the sheer force of his own ability
and character. His triumph is the
more noteworthy when we consider that
the district was heretofore a Republi-
canstronghold and that his opponent had
unlimited means with which to prose-
cute bis canvass. Young Lee is not
relative Of the famous Lee family of
Virginia, but his parente were probably
admirers of the great Virginia soldier
and gentleman, or they would hardly
have named their son for him. Such a
name, appealing to old war prejudices
as it inevitably must have done, was
handicap, rather than help to this
plucky young Democrat. So close was
the contest that the final count of the
ballots was had in court. Young Lee
represented his own interest in that
count and, though not a lawyer, ad-
dressed the court forcefully in effective
ly protesting against permitting any
opportunity for the partisans of his Re-
publican opponent to manipulate or
tamper with the returns, and the court
granted his motion. The result of the
official count of three disputed ballot
boxes was triumph for Lee, and he
was officially declared elected by the
majority stated. The success of this
young Pennsylvanian is not only a
signal triumph for Democracy, but it
should serve as an inspiration to young
men. We hope to hear more of Robert
E. Lee Of Pennsylvania. virginians
everywhere will feel peculiar interest
in his career by reason Of his name, if
for no other. Register.
