ut makes me laugh" says an old

"Why, we were just boys, most Of

Der boots came along.
The oldest man in camp here in
Weaverville was short OF thirty, but

up gold like corn at home. We didn't
think It was a white mans country

to wash out peck measure OF mug

say that the best thing Uncle Sam

Our Eccentric Phrases.

Why do we always talk Of putting
on a coat and vest? Who puts on a
coat before a vest? We also say put
ting on shoes and stockings. Who
puts on shoes before the stockings?
We also put up signs telling people to
wipe their feet when we mean their
boots or shoes. And a father tells a
boy he will warm his Jacket when he
means to warm his pantaloons. We
are little eccentric in our phrases at
times

PENRosE SAYS G. o. p. WINS.
Expects Tener viii Get There Hand
somely, Also Republican Com
gressmen.

SAN''sAhAaH
United States Senator Boise PEN
rose says the Republicans will
sweep Pennsylvania this fall, elect
ing not only the state ticket but re-
tanning the present strength in Con-
gress. In an interview at Atlantic
City to representative of the Phil
adelphia Press the Senator spoke
emphatically on the situation. He
called attention to the splendid ad-
ministration of Gov. Edwin S.
Stuart and gave his reasons for
forecasting Republican victory.
He said:
IF my advice is followed the
same open, square, manly fight that
is to be made in Pennsylvania for
the president will be made in every
Congressional district in the union.
I tell you the people are with Taft.
They are beginning to appreciate
his breadth, his sanity, his useful
ness. The days of the obstruction
lists are nearly ended. | am afraid
that Senator Beveridge will lose his
seat in Indiana as one effect of his
opposition to the president. Others
who have adopted similar tactics
are likely to meet a similar fate.
Returning to Pennsylvania,
predict that John X. Tener will
prove to be a powerful candidate,
and an admirable governor. He has
breadth of view and character, a
kindly nature and great executive
ability. He has ideas that are note
worthy, and his Republicanism is of
the old-fashioned, rock-ribbed var
iety. He will tour the state, and
predict that he will not back away
from any discussion of the tariff,
of the Taft administration nor of
the administration of state affairs
given by the Republican party under
Gov. Stuart.
81 don't care to talk of the third
party movement until it shall crystal
lize into something more than talk.
When | return from my Western
trip in September l may have some
thing to say about it, about the men
who compose it and their motives. &"
what about the alleged move
ment to defeat representatives who
voted with Speaker Cannon?"
Nothing will come of it, They
voted right, and their action needs
no defense. When the American
public understands, as it will under
stand some day, the outrageous per-
secution to which that great old Re-
publican has been subjected by
splenetic muckrakers, it will take its
revenge on the conspirators.
Il want the people of Pennsylva-
MIA to scrutinize the records of the
Taft administration in the nation and
the Stuart administration in the
state. l want them to study the
new tariff and to make their own
observations and to form their own
opinions concerning conditions in
the nation and in Pennsylvania. If
this shall be done, / have no fear
of the result.
"Pessimism is a contagious dis
ease. Prosperity is it's antidote.
All signs point to the effective check
of the malady. There has been so
much Misrepresentation that, natur-
ally, many believe the false pro-
phets. The approaching campaign
will give an opportunity to show up
the detractors in their true colors.
This will be done in fair discussion
of everything for which the Repub-
lican party stands, and l anticipate
that Pennsylvania will lead the coun-
try in just that kind of discussion. "

-Four Buildings Burned at starrucca

Starrucca was visited by a fierce
conflagration shortly before o'clock
July 8, when four buildings were
burned to the ground by a spark
from a passing locomotive. The
buildings destroyed were a milk sta
ton and barn owned by Balton &
O'Brien and a storehouse and dwell
ing owned by Michael Gellan. The
first building that was caught went
up in a blaze and as there are no
firefghting facilities, the contents of
the surrounding buildings were re-
moved as quickly as possible by the
owners and neighbors, who volun-
teered their services. The four
buildings totally destroyed were
close together and only short dis
tance from the Starrucca station.
