The prominent citizen and favorite son sat at his desk, deeply immersed in the cares of his wide affairs. A delegation of party leaders was ushered in.
 'Sir," said the spokesman, "you have been unanimously chosen as the party's candidate for governor of the state. Under present conditions nomination is tantamount to election, and we urge your acceptance. The office seeks the man.
 "Gentlemen.' said the favorite son, "I am profoundly impressed by the honor done me, but before I accept must consult my wife. never take a decisive step without consulting my wife"
 The committee bowed and withdrew.
 At home the favorite son confided the circumstances to his wife, who lis- tened with fond pride and wifely ad- miration.
 "And now" he said in conclusion. 'what would you advise me to do?'

 Through the Center of the Earth is the biggest act ever on the Vaude- vile stage, carrying a company ana fscenic equipment bigger than many of the modern musical comedy oHerlngs Included in the performance are 10 transformation scenes embodying the latest devices of the big scenic studios . and the stage electricians and the inn aginary voyage through the earth's l,core Is graphically depicted. Excel ' lent principals, all of them vaudeville stars, and a pony ballet of picked pretty girls make one of the finest companies ever gathered together in !. a musical extravaganza, and the mag nitude of the offering marks its inn sportance. Popular prices will be main tained as ever, although the headline ract on the bill alone would warrant a far higher admission fee
 Through the Center of the Earth" will not alone be entitled to all the credit on the weeks bill, for the sup porting acts are of an equally high ca1ibre, and the whole will afford a Tecord-breaking vaudeville entertain ment.
 Ed Blonden, we'll known to vaude- vile goerS as one of the cleverest comedians in the business, will present his serio-comic musical sketch, "A Night in Seville" modelled somewhat after the Parisian pantomimes which have proved so popular, and put on
 by company. of the highest calibre : Then there will be the Four Cook Sis- ters, a quartet of pretty girls with sweet voices, which blend beautifully in the catchy music offered by the quartet.
 The hearty laughter which every- one loves will be abundantly inspired by the comedy skit, Tn a Country Barber shop The title indicates the nature of this offering which takes advantage of every n-making oppor- tunity and is declared to be the most comical ''rube'' act ever staged.
 Clinton and Nolan come to Bridge port with a splendid vaudeville rec ord behind them and their love of comedy is sure to catch on'' with the audiences here. Other attractions on the weeks bill include Ed Markey, assisted by Miss Gertie Devere, pre- senting the Skit For Auld Lang Syne": Pritzkow and Blanchard, Tyro- lean yodlers and singers, and the cleo trograph and Poli's orchestra with the newest selections.

A Pleasant Surprise,

A young man in Indianapolis felt his heart sink as he pulled from his mail box letter of the wedding in- vitation type. That was the fifth he had received this season. and he had begun to wonder whether he had any friends left in the single state.
 Another five dollar bill busted to smash" he mourned.
 Then he opened the envelope. But it was only the announcement of wed ding that had taken place the week before. And he found in the same cover a check for S5.
 It was then that he recalled a bet made with friend years before. The conditions were that the one first mar ried should pay the other $5.-Indian apolis News.

Too Pretty . Lake For That.

"China gave me many shock" said the returned traveller. but the one that nearly carried me off was administered in the Fuchau district. Out in the country came across a beautiful little lake drained by beautiful little river. The scenery was marred somewhat. however. by signs stuck up every few yards at the edge of the lake. 1 won- dered what their import was, and on one of my trips to the lake I took a missionary friend along to translate.

Uncle Sano's EaoIe.

The eagle is the king of birds. the lord of the sky. the bravest, noblest and most independent of the feathered tribe, and probably that is the reason why he was adopted as our national bird. His image holds its place upon our national coat of arms by sheer merit and not merely from empty sentiment. The noble bird, loving liberty. scorning confinement, at home and at his best only when invested with the wide freedom of the glorious heavens, is the fit emblem of the spirit of '76'' and of the government that that spirit won and established on the earth. Other peoples entertain the same high opinion of the eagle, since from the time of the institution of the Roman standard straight down to the present day he has appeared as a conspicuous figure in the heraidry of the nations.-New York American.
