To the Voters of the 23rd AS
sembly District:
My friends and others frie ndly
to Senator LaFOllette, induced
me to stand for the nomination
for this Assembly district as
Member of the Assembly. The
voters of the District that do not
know me will want to know. and
should know what kind of a man
I am. both politically and social
ly. and what my character and
general repu tation is in the COM
munity where I live. People
that know me do not have to ask
what my politics are, what my
business integrity is, and what
ability I have developed in my
pioneer life, they know some
thing of that too. They know
whether I have been a good
citizen, worthy of confidence, and
trust worthy in my dealings
with them. and whether I have
done my share, according to my
means and ability, to build up
this section of the country, and
thereby contributing to the
whole commonwealth. But the
lower counties. Sawyer and
Washburn. do not know me so
well; probably a large majority
OF them never heard of me,
and they should know from
others dwelling in my commun-
ity, all about me; whether I am
a fit man for the Office or not.

A LANGUAGE LESSON.
The Verb 'to Strike" illustrates the
Difficultiessof English.

The Verb 'to Strike" illustrates the
Difficulties English.
The verb 'to strike" is likely to
provoke more or less bother among
persons seeking to acquire the Eng
lish language. Itmay have any one
of several meanings.
"To strike" means to hit, beat,
assault. It is this meaning of the
term that is brought to mind by the
spectacle of blackened eye. Often
it may be avoided by moving on
when the policeman says SO.
''To strike" means a mere at
tempt to hit, as when batter, &C
cording to reports on the sporting
page, 'tfans the air." therefore a
miss. This suggests contradic-
ton; but, no matter-there are 9th
ers in the language.
"To strike" means to leave job
because of dissatisfaction with con-
ditions. This sort of strike is never
a miss, for it hits something every
time.
"To strike" when qualified by
the words ''it rich" is to discover
while prospecting a deposit OF pre-
cious metal or an ore bearing vein.
From this use the term has been
adapted to express the achievement
of sudden wealth in any field. To
make ga strike" in bowling, how
ever, is different.
Again, "to strike" is to make a
gentle touch directed toward a
friendly pocketbook. Here the
strike is in the effort and not in the
result. Chances are there will be
no result.
A few lines might be devoted to
"pare," pear" and "pair," identical
in sound, but in nothing else except
spelling by the foolifed method.
Briefly, "pare" is,a verb meaning
to denude of tegumental covering,
but applies mostly to fruit; also po-
tatoes You may pare an apple,
which is to skin it, but you may not
pare an elephant, although it is pos
sible to skin it if you have the ele-
phant. Pear is a genealogical prod
uct that grows on tree. If the
tree had but two pears there would
be a pair. A married couple some
times constitute pair. A pair, in
short, is made up of two of a kind.
By remembering these simple
facts the student will be enabled
to avoid confusion. Philadelphia
Ledger.

Gold Heated Water.

Over 1000 years ago an elaborate
system of filtration was established by
the Egyptians to purify the waters Of
the Nile. In both Rome and Athens hot
water was drunk in preference to
cold by the small minority who used
water for drinking purposes. / Cham
pier. writing in 1860, notes that the
habit Of drinking hot water was
spreading among all classes In France.
Some warm it by holding it over the
fire. Others dip burning bread into 1t.
Rich people plunge bar Of hot gold
into their water before drinking it,
and the less wealthy bar of hot iron,
while the very poor are content to
warm their drink with live COAL"
