A. II. Judy, of Rappahannock coun-
ty, who came to Virginia nearly a
year ago and bought a farm. is in
the city today. Mr.. Judy has not vet
registered as a citizen Of Virginia. and
ne declared today that he was going
TO make visit to Ohio and would
engage in the politics of that State.
You See" said Mr.. Judy, Il am a
Democrat, and L am going back to nv
OLD home to work for Judson Har-
mon, who will be elected Governor
again. He is a great big man. and
we have presidential timber in him.
There Is no question of electing him.
Governor Harmon is a man who does
Things, and he does not hesitate to do
what Harmon thinks is right regard
less OF what the politicians of the
State may think. He does not suit
them, but he does please the people of
the State, for he is fair, honest, fear
less and does exactly what he said
he would do when he became Cover
nor of Ohio.
He is the sort of man we want for
President, and if the publicans will
nominate Judge Taft again and the
Democrats will put up Harmon, you
will see fight that will be interesting
and one which will. in my opinion,
place Ohio in the Democratic column"
Mr.. Judy says that farm lands are
selling for $50 an acre in his section,
that he has excellent crops at this
time. and that he is in every way sat
isfed with Virginia.

Three hours later Nelson's Jim"
drove through the gate with his pale
little wife clinging to his arm. Seth
Nelson ragged aroudn the yard with
his shotgun in one hand, while his
wife thrust a frightened face from
the kitchen door.
With a quick leap Jim reached the
ground, and grasped the barrel of
the weapon as Nelson raised 1t to his
shoulder.
1T amt loaded, you old fool" he
shouted, as he wrested the gun from
the farmer and leaned it against the
woodshed. Now, you listen to me,
before l tell you to, I'll knock you
down."
The old mans face worked saw
agely. He glanced toward the car
riage, and raised his fist against the
shrinking girl. He opened his mouth
as If to speak.
Shut up!" commanded his son-in-
law authoritatively. Now, see here,
my names Browning!"
The farmer glared increduously.
My names Browning" repeated
Jim emphatically. This here lady is
my wife! Mrs. Browning is her
name-Mrs. James Browning. It's a
nice name-eh?"
Seth Nelson scowled sullenly at his
farmland.
IF you want to be father to her,
and father-in-law to me-you can
act decent about it. We love each
other and we got married. l got $500
in the bank and | can take care of

for you-hands is scarce-but you've
got to remember We won't be bullied."
"You-you-you-" suffered the
farmer wildly, but his son-m-law cut
him short with wave of the hand,
and climbed into the buggy, and turn
ed it around.
AS they drove toward the gate, Mel
son strobe after them. He cast one
look around the barnyard, the unfn-
ished chores, then away across the
swelling acres waiting for the now
ing machine and the anger settled
into chagrin.
Say, you, Jim-Browning-y and
your wife can board here if you want
to- he said reluctantly.
"And-what?' demanded Jim
Browning CURLY.
Seth Nelson saw the fearful face of
his wife in the doorway, and his
grim face softened.
"And-welcome!" he replied with
wry smile.

What Mourning COlOrs Especially
Typify.

Mourning apparel and trappings are
so purely conventional an institution
that very few ever stop to think of
the poetic significance of the colors
selected by the different nations to
express grief, and for which reason
the English writer who recently drew
attention to this phase of mourning
presented a somewhat novel topic.
Nearly all nations typify by lack of
color personal loss. or the return of
the dead to the earth, black represent
ing midnight gloom, or the total de-
privation of light and JOY. The pale
brown selected by the Persains typifies
withered leaves. The grayish brown
affected by the Philippians is the color
of the earth to which the bodies re-
turn. Purple, now the mourning of
kings, is said to be derived from the
purple garments put upon Christ by
the Roman soldiers when they mock
ingly hailed him as King of the Jews.
Unlike nearly every other people, hte
Syrian suggests neither a sense of per
sonal loss, nor the fact that the body
of the deceased returns to earth, sky
blue, the mourning color of Syria, in
dicating the belief that the departed
one has gone to heaven.
