Ashes From the Old Hearth.

A quaint Swedish legend concerning
cure for Inconsistencies appears in
Selma Lagerlofs book THE Girl From
the Marsh Croft" translated by velmu
SWANSON Howard. The tradition Is to
the effect that IL n person suffering
from nostalgia took some ashes from
the hearth in his or her old home aud
strewed them on the fire in the strange
place he or she would be rid of the
homesic easy remedy appar-
emily, but ii had two serious draw
backs. The first was that after using
the remedy in the new home one would
never be content In any other place.
If one were to move from the home
stead to which one had borne the
ashes one would always long TO get
back there again just as much as one
had longed to get away from there.
And the second drawback was that
one couldn't carry ashes along every
time one moved to new place. be-
cause the remedy could be used once
only. After that 1t lost its charm and
had no effect. So that taken all In all.
it was Il rather dangerous experiment
to make.

legality Of the payment by the candi-
dates for the publication of such

However in case it is held that pay
ment can be legally made the charge
will be $40 for each announcement.
Some of the papers in the state take
the stand that the law is such as to
permit candidate to pay for the
publications and are charging for the
same.

question and does not propose to take
the chances Of disqualifying any can.

of who received the nomination
