Vote on Senator

There has been so much talk about
the peculiar method of nominating
candidates for the United States sem
ate that little straight information
may not be out of place concerning
the election.
The legislature of 1911 passed
what is known as the Oregon law.
Under its provisions the ballot next
November will have on the Repub-
lican ticket, For U. s. Senator, w.
r. Stubbs," and on the Democratic
ticket, For U. s. Senator, W. H.
Thompson" Every voter can vote
as he pleases and the one that gets
a majority of the popular vote Of the
state will be elected by the legisla-
ture. Practically all the candidates
for the legislature have signed
Statement No. L." in which they
agree to carry out the choice of the
people.
The vote in November is state
wide and not by districts. So far as
U. s. Senator is concerned it does
not matter for whom you vote for
member of the legislature.

Once upon time a farmer who
was too economical to take a news
paper sent his little boy to borrow
the paper taken by his neighbor. In
his haste the boy ran over bee
hive and in ten minutes looked like
watery summer squash.
His cry reached his father, who
ran to his assistance and failing to
see barbed wire fence, ran into
1t breaking it down and cutting a
handful of flesh from his anatomy
and running pair of IS trousers.
The old COW took advantage of the
gap in the fence, got into the corn
field and killed herself eating green
corn.
Hearing the racket, his wife ran,
upsetting four gallon churn of rich
cream into basket of kittens,
drowning the whole flock. In her
, hurry she dropped and broke 81
set of false teeth. The baby left
alone, crawled through the split
cream into the parlor and ruined a
$25 carpet. During the excitement
the Oldest daughter ran away with
the hired man, the calves got out and

The nomination Of Judge Thomp-
son for United States Senator is
one of the surprises of the cam
paign to the average voter in the
eastern part Of the state. But
those who know Thompson and
have followed his successful polit-
ical career are not at all surprised.
There is no better organizer in the
state than the Garden City man.
He is a tireless worker and in the
progress of a campaign never
sleeps on his job for a minute. He
possesses a winning personality and
has never lost campaign. He has
been elected Judge of a strong re-
publican district two successive
terms and is remarkably popular
wherever he is known. Judge
Thompson has gone into the sena
torial fight to win, and will no
doubt conduct the most aggressive
campaign for that Office ever waged
in the state. Hutchinson Gazette.

II you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming 1t on

If you can trust yourself when all

But make allowance for their doubt
ing, too;
If you can wait and not be tired of
waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in

Or being hated, don't give way to
hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk
too wise;
If you can dream-and not make

If you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster
And treat those two impOsters just
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to broken,
And stop and build EN- up with worn
out tools;
II you can make one heap of all your
winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-
toss,
And lose, and start again at your
beginnings
And never breath word about your
loss;
II you can force your heart and nerve
and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
have gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the Will which says to them;
Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the

If neither foes nor loving friends can

If all men count with you, but none

STEPS ON THIRD RAIL
Said AfterWard That He Thought He
"BleW Up," and That His Back and
Legs Felt Like Something Was
Going Through Them.

New York.-A very persistent devil
whispered into the ear of nine-year
old Charles Moffit as he left his home
at No. IS Catherine street to play in
the street the other afternoon.
Remember" his mother had said,
''the devil gets boys who are bad.
You mustn't go out of the neighbor-
hood and you mustn't get papers for
the newsman."
For Charles's principal income and
candy fund came from the money the
newsdealer on the corner gave him
for trips to news company.
Though Charles had promised neith-
er to leave the street nor go for pa
pers, the devil suggested that the day
was Saturday and that the boy
wouldn't be paid for his weeks work
unless he finished it, and that it would
be too bad to lose whole weeks pay
just because of failure to work one
day.
Charles, tempted, fell. He trotted
quickly to news depot in Chambers
street and started to go home. But
that devil whispered again. 1t would
be nice to go out on Brooklyn bridge
and see how the motormen ran their
trains to Coney Island. Again Charles
fell. He got by the policemen on the
northern vehicle roadway Of the
bridge, and with his package OF "59
cents worth of papers" stood close to
the Manhattan bound track of the -
trains.
A train went by. The devil logged
Charies's arm and the package fell to
the tracks few feet below. The
small transgressor decided he would
have to rescue the papers or he
wouldn't get his pay.

CURIOUS BITS

FRANkLfNS' POLITE
SARCASM.
BY A. w. MACY.

Or. Benjamin Franklin was
noted for his politeness, though
he not nfrequentIy tinged it
with sarcasm. In 1774 he was
dismissed by the British gov
ernment from the office of sur
veyor general Of the postoffice
in America, no reason being as
signed except that his majesty
the king had no further need for
his services. Two years later
the Continental congress aP-
pointed him postmaster general
of all North America; where
upon he could not resist the
temptation to write the English
minister that the British gov
ernment need not worry any
more about postal affairs In
America as they had again
been placed in competent hands.
Some months after the opening
of the war he summed up the
situation thus in a letter to a
friend in England: 1.-THE Eng
Iish have made a campaign
here, which cost two million;
they have gained a mile of
ground, and lost half Of it back

ter of the track, rubbing himself,
while a crowd of homeward bound
Brooklynites was standing on the
promenade shouting advice. Two prac-
tical men showed forward and
stretched their hands down to
Charles. First he passed up his bundle
of papers, then he consented to be
lifted out.
Patrolman Schnitzler of the bridge
squad came up and took the mean
DEVILS victim to the police room at
the Manhattan tower. DR.. Orr arrived
in an ambulance from the Hudson
street hospital and the boy was
stripped. Not one burn was on him.
DR.. Orr and the police thought it was
amazing that Charles had not been
killed outright They told the boy he
could go home.
Charles delivered the papers intact
to the newsman at Catherine and
South streets and asked for his Is
cents. He had resolved to end forth
with all connection with the devil. He
was told he would be paid later. Then
he slipped into his home.
He said nothing, but eventually the
