The workmanship Of the whole machine
is exceptionally fine. The main planes
are covered with impePvious cloth. two
thicknesses. and fits without q wrinkle
over the ribs that are spaced a foot
apart.
Engine. propeller and chain connections
are all simple and solid, but fine pieces
Of work. The triangular body frame Is
light. but built OF laminated wood, and
il strong.
The makers of the plane aimed to con-
struct a machine that could be mounted
and taken apart for shipment rapidly.
With this In view the frame can be taken
In half couple OF sleeves.
The main wings are fitted on with two
big dowel pins, and are then braced with

NEW BRAND OF GHOST.
a bell ringing ghost has made ITS
appearance-if the expression can be
used with reference to a creature which
no one has seen-at the house of the
Rev. Father TIernan, parish priest OF
JohnStown near Navan. The priests
house has long had the reputation To-
cally of being haunted, but there Is no
record OF any ghostly performances IN
the past. A few nights after Father
Tiernan, who has Just come to the
parish. took possession of the house.
he was awakened by the ringing OF al
the bells in the house. Thinking some
one was i'll he got up to investigate,
but there was no one at the door ana
no one in the house knew anything
about the bell ringing. although all the
inmates had been awakened by 1t. The
bell ringing was repeated night after
night, and twice windows in front OF
the house were broken as II by
stone. but no stone could be found.
This happened one night when two po-
licemen were watching in the house
and although they searched the neigh
borhood thoroughly they could find no
one.
Two ancient bronze cooking pots and
a cavalry saber have been dug up on
Gubb Island In Upper Lough Erne. by
a farmer named Owen Reilly of XII
lynebbern. Newtownbutler. The pots
are undoubtedly of great age and one
of them bears an Inscription In char
acters resembling the ancient Ogham.
The sword is supposed to be a relic of 4
great battle fought here between the
Irish under Justin Mccarthy. Lord
Mountcashel, and the Ennisldlleners
under Colonel Wolseley. The Irish or
Jacobites were defeated with great
slaughter and 500 of them plunged INTO
the Lough and were drowned. all but
one man.

IT ONDON, Dec. 22.-England Is he
ginning just now its cattle show
season and King Edward without
doubt will repeat his former per-
formances as prize winner He Is an
annual exhibitor at thes: Smithfeld
show, which is just over tins year and
he never emerGes without winning 10
or more prizes and selling most oil his
exhibits, thus proving his right TO the
title of The Farmer King.
Although King George III was low
ingly known to most of his subjects as
Farmer George" the nickname was
more the outcome of his dress and
manners than the result of his interest
in agriculture With King Edward tho
contrary is the case,
Although acknowledged as one of the
best, # not the best, dressed man In
England, he still finds inclination and
time to look after the condition OF his
well-stocked farms and to be repro
sented at every important show. Tbs
fact that he usually retires heavy
prize winner is sufficient indication OF
the wcll-being of his stock.
His successes have been so remark
ably consistent that cynicS are wont 10
shake their heads and attribute them
to his august position as ruler of the
land Nothing Is farther from the
truth. The kings EXHIBITS are submit
ted by the judges to the same crltlcat
examination as those of the humblesl
farmer; and unsuccessful competitors
have been the first to acknowledge the
superiority of the kings cattle. His
majesty never shows an animal he has
not bred himself and the secret OF
his success Is this thoroughness.

= To the WORKING Man.


How are you going to vote on Mon
day?
You might retort, without considera-
ton, that it is none of our business.
But you know it is our business, if
you stop to consider; that it is the
business of your neighbor, your
townsman, the people of the entire
State.
You are going to vote for something
more than your own welfare or sor-
row-the making or undoing of the
prosperity of your friends. II you
have not had opportunity to study
political conditions look about you and
consider the types of leading men and
the policies for which they stand.
Here are a few vital principles that
should be pondered we'll:
Are you enrolling yourself as man
of progress?
Which do you prefer. plenty of bust
ness, jobs going begging, good wages
and even the present highly inflated
prices?
Or, had you rather have lower prices
on necessaries of living. slack business.
mills shut down. farmers unable to sell
their produce because money is scarce,
lower wages-or no wages at all I'M
less you are one of the lucky ones
who has work?
Do YOU remember the hard times"
of wilson German tariff days: If you
do we need not point the difference If
you do not remember those days of
bread lines. and hunger and threaten
ing, starving millions we advise you to
take no chances on assisting return
of such conditions.
These are days of plenty-of luxury
and recreation for all grades of labor,
because there is plenty of work at good
wages and everyone has money to
spend and is reasonably sure where
more is coming from. Money is easy
to procure at the banks and elsewhere.
everybody has it and it is changing
hands constantly. Such confidence in
business and trade brings good times"
and plenty of work. 1t is an epoch of
progress.
If you believ" in advancement. edu-
cation and better things you are in
sympathy with present political con-
ditions barring excessive prices which
must be corrected by those who have
the welfare of the nation at heart
and who are devoting every energy
to that end.
If you are willing to gamble on the
future of yourself and your children:
if you are willing to exchange plenty
Of work and good wages for such dis
aster as followed Democratic meddling
with the tariff. and unwisdom in the
conduct of affairs in general then
you may be intending to vote with the
party. the only promise of which is
to nullify prosperity and start the
wheels of State in the opposite dircc-
ton.
If you are intending to 50 vote you
had best consider well and look to
the future of your children before you
cast your ballot.

A Misleading Card.

The Democratic party has put out
d card which is garbled extract
from the County Reports. The detni-
ton of 'ga,ble" as given by the Am
erican Dicti,nary. is ITO select out of
q book or writing what may serve

This card. unsigned and scattered

court during the Republican admins
tration. These matters are handled in
the police courts of the county. under
the same police administration that
was in authority during the tenure of
the Democratic county officers.
The card is full of half truths. For
instance, it says that in 1907. under
the Democratic administration of Mr.
Plaisted and Mr. Beane, the costs Of
the Superior court were s12.049.0o, while
in 1909. under the Republican admins
tration of Mr. Getchell and Mr.. Hill
