The Frenchwoman.

The distinguished quality of the
Frenchwoman is her strong common
sense. She is not sentimentalist. but
is eminently practical. III there is SO
much comfort. substantially and Sc
curity among the French middle class

of the credit for II. In France OF the
French" Mr.. T.. ii. Baker SAYS that all
her domestic affairs are regulated bv
the strictest prudence, carefulness and
foresight
The domestic instinct is so strong In
the Frenchwoman that the safety Of
her home is apt to become TO her an
object too absorbing, too exclusive. aud
10 lead to the defects and drawbacks
which attend all exaggeration. 1t is
not the Frenchman so much as the
Frenchwoman who fills the stocking"
with small savings. little economical
there, little here, and who has built
up position OF some substance for
many n family who commenced hum
bly, and knew hardship.
The power OF patient industry Of the
French workingwoman is scarcely less
admirable than her self abnegatlon.
Her qualities stand out more saliently
than those Of the middle class because
of her inferior opportunities and great
er trials.
When one considers the wages that
are earned by the working class in
France and the cost of food one mar
vels at the degree OF comfort to be
found in their homes and the well look
ed after appearance of the children
This could never be without the solid
qualities of the women.

Splendid Republican Meetings.

The Republican meeting at Clsrinton
crowd and was voted a decided success.
The candidates, Messrs. Speer and Camp.
bell, we're very cordially received, and
Mr.. Speer's speech and discussion of the
issues involved in this campaign was just
what the people wanted 10 hear. His
straightforward. clean cut aud incisive
talk convinced all who heard him that
with him in Congress the district will
have representative OF whom they can
be proud, and on whom no clique or fac
ton has string, but that he will repre-
sent all the people all the time. At
Cooksburg, where stop was made by
the party at the noon hour the candidates
met a goodly number of people who ex-
tended them greatest cordislity and as.
sursuces ofsupport. The same was true
at Redclyffe where stop was also made
at noon yesterday.
Last night fine audience greeted the
speak ers at the opera house in Marien-
vile, the meeting being veritsble ovs-
ton for the candidates. Mr.. Speer was
again the speaker of the evening, and his
earnest words and perfectly frank manner
csptivated his hearers, who showed their
enthusiasm and sympathy with the cause
he represented by frequent bursts of sp-
plause. These places may be depended
upon to give good account toflbemselyes
for the whole ticket on the sth day of No
vember.
Tonight the party will reach Kellett-
vile, where a good meeting will un-
doubtedly be had. We can assure the
people that they will hear something
worth while if they attend.
Tomorrow at noon the party will be at
Nebraska, and in the evening the people
of West Hickory and vicinity will have
an opportunity to meet and hear them.
Give them a rousing reception.

JUDGE O'CoNNoR, of the Cam bria coun-
ty court, at the opening of the October
term, in referring to the vast number of
unimportant cases sent to court for trial
at enormous expense to the taxpayers,
made statement to the effect that in the
future, when trifling cases of desertion,
surety of the peace, etc., are returned for
trial, he will expect the alderman or JUS
lice to certify that the official has made a
reasonable effort to induce the parties in
terested to settle such cases in order not
to put the county to useless expenses.
Where the proper certiiiHation of the al
derman or justice was not forthcoming,
the court said he would throw out the
cases and that erring magistrates would
stand for the costs in such instances.
Judge O'Connor is to be commended for
the stand he has taken, and it is hoped
that other judges throughout the state
will follow his example.

IT should be borne in mind that the
autumn Arbor Day falls on October %,
only about two weeks away. In his an
nouncemeut of it Nathan G. Shaffer state
superintendent of public instruction,
says: THE observance of Arbor Day has
created patriotic interest in the planting
and preservation of trees. 1t has con-
yinced the public OF the importance of
preventing and stopping forest fires, of
the need of reforesting the vast mountain
areas from which the timber has been cut
and of the necessity of conserving the
forests at the sources of our streams.
thereby TO regulate the flow of water and
to lessen the floods and freshets which
rob the land of its soil and fertility.
Moreover, it is now generally admitted
that Arbor Day shoulG be observed when
all the country schools are in session, and
all the schools, both public and private,
are urged to observe the day by suitable
exercises, especially by the planting of
trees. Let us all plant trees and ask
others to plant trees. Let us plant trees
for fruit, for shade, for beauty and for the
sake of the many industries in which
wood is used Let us plant trees for the
sake of ourselves aud our posterily, for
the sake of the nation and of humanity
everywhere. Let us put our prayers for
future blessings into visible shape by
starting trees that will answer our PRAYERS
by making possible the conservation of
our national resources and the perpetua-
tion of our national greatness"

EVERY Republican should consider
that the Democratic party cannot win this
year through any merits of its own-per-
formed or professed. Democratic victory
if it comes, will come not because of
Democratic strength but because of Re-
publican division and consequent weak
ness. Is it worth while to learn over
again the costly lessons of the past for the
sake Of a grudge or a disagreement that
even though honest and sincere may well
be laid aside and taken up after election?

THE southern tour ofColonel Roosevelt
was continual triumph. The people of
Atlanta went wild over him, and at Hot
Springs the Democratic governor of Ar
kansas, introduced him to an immense
audience at the state fair as the "mightiest
influence for honesty in public life, )" add
ing; "He ought to have the support OF
every lover of liberty, of every lover of
fair play. That he has more executive
force than any other man before the
American people today is Obvious to all :"

THE discovery of germ which probs-
bly, causes infantile paralysis was an.
nounced Friday at a special meeting of
the college of physicians in Philadelphia.
DR.. Allen J. Smith, dean of the medical
department of the University of Penn
sylvania, declared that in the blood of
sufferers from the disease had been found
protozos, or low form of animal life,
which, he thinks, may prove to be The
germ which causes the disease. 1t re-
sembles the germ which causes sleeping
sickness and in his opinion is carried
