REUNITED AFTER 10 YEARS.
Father and Daughter Come Together
Through an Advertisement.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 28.-After
having been separated 19 years, S.
D. Wagner, of Bluffton, Ind, and his
daughter were reunited here last
night. Their meeting came after a
telephone conversation when Wagner
in Bluffton heard Edna speaking in
Cleveland in a woman's voice that,
when he had last heard it, had been
that of baby.
When the child was two years old
the mother died, and the father plac-
ed Edna. in a Cleveland orphanage
whence she was transferred to that of
the Sisters of Charity in Toledo. She
was taken from there by a preacher
who kept her several years at his
home in Henry county, Ohio.
Thence she came to Cleveland, and
it was here some one told her of an
advertisement for his lost child which
had been made by S. D. Wagner, of
Bluffton. She called Wagner by long
distance, soon established her identi-
ty and the reunion plans followed.

Shooting at the Clock.

Strabane County Tyrone) Urban
Council is offering a reward to those
who will give such information as
will lead to the conviction of people
who use the dial of the town clock
as a target. The contractor for re-
pairing the clock states that there
are several bullet holes in the dial
looking on the main street, one bull
let having passed clean through the
clock.
The chairman of the council states
that when the tower was removed in
which the old clock was fixed it was
found that the weather vane was al
most eaten away with shot holes.
People used to fire at it to see it turn
round. The amusement died out, but
apparently it has been revived in re-
gard to the dial of the town clock

Tomtit a Lamplighter. L

There is generally some quite sim
pie explanation of amystery-if it
can only be found out. The lamp
lighter at Greenford, near Ealing,
has been puzzled for some time past
by finding one of the lamps lighted
every day, although he had duly
turned it down. He suspected no
spooks, but mischievous boys, and so
he prepared an ambush. To his as
tonishment, as he was watching, up
went the light with never a boy in
sight, and then he discovered that
the unauthorized lamplighter was a
tomtit which had nest in corner
of the lamp, and in getting into it
was in the habit of hopping on to the
ring of the incandescent bypass.
Many years ago the writer of this
note remembers a spell of mystery
in the shape of the mysterious ring
ing of bell at intervals during the
night. No human agency could be
detected, and the mystery grew deep
er. Possibly the Psychical Research
Society might have been appealed TO
had not chance revealed the fact that
the ringing was caused by a rat,
which used the wire as a jumping off
place. Spooks are composed of very
varied mateaals.-Wesminster Ga

The Outwitting of Mr.. Witt.

There is a butcher in one of the
small Northern Indiana towns who
is a sort of village cut-up, whose
name is Witt. Witt delights to play
Jokes on the lads that come to his
skop. for their mother at meal time
and at odd times of the hot summer
days, for the shop always is cool,
made so by the huge icebox in which
the meat is kept. But Witt was out
witted one day by a sharp little
youngster who was generally in the
van when anything was to be pulled
off, by the village boys.
Johnny and some of his boy COM
panions were hanging. around the
butcher shop, taking advantage, of
the GOODNESS emanating from the re-
frigerator.
"Say, Johnny" said the butcher,
as a smile played over his face, you
take this fly paper, put it on the
floor, and stand on it, and I'll give
you nickel.'
Sure ting" exclaimed the lad.
Decorate the counter here with the
coin, SOS I'll know you'll come troo,
and give us the fy-catchin' stuff
The butcher put the nickel on the
counter neart the boy and then handed
him the fly paper. Johnny took the
paper, turned it stick side down on
the floor, stamped all over it until
it was glued down highland then
grabbed the nickel and beat it,

Look Out for the Small Man With a
Sharp, Thin Nose.

Snarp, Imn NOSe.
Big men make the best husbands

matron, in her official report to Chief
of Police McWeeny.

court of domestic relations, also for
warded report in which she jolted

big men, whether it is in business
or in matrimony, are easier to get
along WITH" wrote Matron Murphy.
They are more likely to be easy 60

erous. The little man is more likely
to be nervous and fidgety.

GOV. BLEASE'S STATEMENT.
Issued One Last Thursday to the Vot-
ers of South Carolina.

Gov. Blease issued the following
statement to-day:
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 20, 1912.
To the Democratic voters of South
Carolina:
On Tuesday, the Democrats of this
State decided in behalf of an honest,
clean campaign.
Two years before, in an interview
Con September 14th,) speaking of the
primary election in the race for gov
ernor, Seantor B. R. Tillman said:
This is a remarkable illustration
of what little influence our newspa-
pers have. They have been so unfair
and unjust that they are discredited
by the people,
What he said then has been more
What he said then has been more
than emphasized in this election, but
l do not care to rehash the bitterness
and the filth which South Carolina
has passed through for the past three
months, and I hope that it may be
possible for me to forget and to for
give. God, in His all-wise Providence
has protected me, and through the
voice of the people, which is the voice
of God, has given to me the greatest
victory ever known to the world.
1t would be impossible for human
tongue to speak or hand to write what
! feel and what 1 would love to say to
my friends in South Carolina-to say
that I thank them is indeed so little
and Insignificant that I feel ashamed
almost to use that word. I thank
them and from the bottom of my
heart I say, praise God from Whom
all blessings flow and may His
choicest blessings rests upon my
friends and our proud common
wealth; that He may give to me the
power and the wisdom to serve my
State and my people better than
have ever served them before, and to
serve them with heart devoted to
the cause of humanity and Christian
ity. My friends, thank you, may
God bless you, and if can ever serve
you, command, and l will obey.
And to the many hundreds of
good ladies, who have added their
words of encouragement and their
prayers for success, ] say to them, !
thank you and may Gods choicest
blessings ever rest upon you.
If I have said one word or done
one single thing which you disap-
prove of, beg your forgiveness and
that you remember the circumstances
under which l labored were most try
ing. COLE L. BLEASE.

Economy in Dress-How One Girl
 Manages It-Quality Plus Care. When the question of economy in dress comes up, there is always some woman who claims she can underhuy any other sister. who has to make a dollar so as far as two.
 She quotes bargains. second hand clothing establishments, some whole sale place, where friend sells her garments at cost, and practically de- iaes anyone to dress more cheaply or All this Is good as far as 1t goes. But IL Is nof the sort of economy that brings the best results. I know a girl who Is unQuastionabiy one of the best dressed of my acQuaintances, and she Is wage earner who has to earn ev- cry cent that she spends. Her plan of dressing well on moderate secorne is one that think would be we'll worth following by others similarly situated
 In the first place she only buys suits there is no economy in cheap mate rials and shoddy workmanship. A really good tailor made gown she year for best. The next year it is worn to business or on occasions when rain or the demand for suitable attire do coat suit. She never puts on the good suit until she has another one to take its place.
 After 1t has done duty as a suit for dress for office work
 Every suit and dress are kept care fully pressed, no spots are allowed to remain, the slightest tear gets imme- diate attention. She is especially care full about her collars.
 There are no pins to halfway hold them up to the proper stylish height each one is boned erect. These bones she will sew in at night, no matter fore her shirtwaiste always have that crisp, fresh look, even if they have been worn several days, that the sloppy" collar takes away from a waist just out of the laundry.
 She is as trig and trim around the waist as buttons and hooks and eyes can make her. Her shoes are always "shined'. and she owns several pairs. The ones she wears during the day are discarded at night and shoe trees are used to keep them in shape.
 Such a girl would never wear shab- by gloves. because she doesn't allow them to get shabby. When she is through with hat for one season, she carefully takes off the trimmings and lays them away for future use.
 Care is her watchword-and quality her slogan. She believes in rubbers, raincoats, and good umbrellas
 While she always appears to have more than anyone else. because she is and every occasion, her expense ac- count does not run up as high as the girl or woman who buys often and cheaply whose clothes lose shape and who wonders how it is that this girl on the same salary has so much more

THE COMMISSION FORM Working Well in POS Cities in 8
 States.

F,rom the Kansas City Star.)
 Tn 33 States 2o5 cities have adopted commission government These POS cities have a combined population of 4,756, ,465. and represent every feature of municipal life from the great cit les of New Orleans and St. Paul down to the town of Marion, Kan, with a population of 1,S00 persons.
 growth of the new rule has been ac- conplislaed since Des Moines. Cedar Rapids and Leavenworth adopted 1t in 1908 The signal success of the ton was the thing that attracted the attention of the country to the -possa- bilities of modern system of city government. Des Moines was one of the administration Of it's civic affairs
 As soon as the efficiency of the new rule became apparent. showing the advantage to the people in the power it gives to the citizen in the city gov ernment every politician who had profited from the defects in the old ward plan: every individual Or interest that had found the underground rail- way to special privilege under the old council system: every political crook and every offender against the laws of the cities. took up the fight against the new rule.
 No city among the 2o5 has obtained the new rule without the opposition of the municipal spoilers. And notwith- standing the admitted success of the new rule in every city where it has been tried notwithstanding the great satisfaction it has given in every city to the honest business interests and to the citizens of every degree alike, the commission form has yet to over come the opposition of it's old-time enemies in. every city yet to propose 1t.
 Honest government is the one thing the professional politician and the privilege grabberzS cannot endure. It Itcs out lf IalIci Sex sion government gives the people the power and the means to enforce hon est government, and therefore they will oppose it in every city as they have opposed it in the 205 that already have adopted it.
 But not one city of the 205 has as yet wearied of the new rule or voted to go back to the old ward plan. In every city there are a. few who long for the good old days of inefnciency under the ward plan, but the very large majority of the 4,756, 455 people who are living under the new rule ap- pear to enjoy it and most heartily to approve of it.
