DANGERS OF LEAP YEAR.

Leap year is period of much danger
to all men, but especially, it seems, for
widowers and bachelors. The latter
are supplemented to a degree and are
at a great disadvantage in meeting an
aggressive charmer. Their gallantry
and politeness prevent their resisting
advances. If the fair one holds the
bachelors hand and caresses it, what
can he do? He can't jerk it away as a
girl might do-that would be dis
courteous. If she essays to kiss him,
he cannot scream or give her back
handler across the face or rush away in
high dudgeon-tha would be unmanly
and unchivalric He must submit 1t
is nice point whether he should re-
ciprocate the fair ones acts of fond
ness in case he feels at is so sudden, p"
or is apathetic or is already engaged to
some one else or Is positive he 'can
never be hers" If he acts the coy
maiden, receiving demonstrations of
ardent affection with icy nonchalance,
he must feel that he is lacking in
courtesy. His manly heart naturally
goes out in reciprocatory cordially to
the whole sex, and to be coldlY repel-
lent is foreign to his nature. If, on the
other hand, he Yields to his sense of
what is due to the ladies and politely
smiles upon their suit, meeting, them
halfway in acts of tenderness, he can
not escape the risk of being thought
base trifer with the hottest sentiments
of a woman heart.
The bachelors position is clearly an
embarrassing one in the years Invisible
by four. 1t is to him a new position.
He lacks the elusive arts by which the
ladies skilfully repel the advances their
charms provoke. The aggressive role
he understands, but the defensive
puzzles him. His dilemma is that he
must either seem to be bear or seem
to be an enthusiastic lover, whereas, in
fact, he is neither, but only meek, in
offensive man who is unprepared for the
awful risks of matrimony and trembles
at the thought of it. Best safety in
such cases, it is said, lies in flight. The
man must either reciprocate advances
with ardent enthusiasm and bend his
neck to the moose or flee. Happy the
bachelor who is so situated that he can
at any moment seize his suitcase and
flee to the uttermost parts of the earth.

state; and this it has done. Several
millions of dollars have been appropri-
ated for the betterment of the public
highways. 1t is also proper that
commission of competent men should
be appointed to see that the work is
we'll performed and the money properly
expended The whole people of the
state in the end pay for these improve
ments. But in the hands of honest,
efficient, business-like men there should
be no question as to the successful ac-
complishment of the undertaking. The
cost of material and labor for given
length of road is easily ascertainable,
and the character of the subsoil at
places known without much difficulty.
The process of excellent road making is
not something new, and there are those
who have been engaged in 1t long
enough to profit by their experience
and get satisfactory results. The
trouble is due largely to the fact that
IoI years tllS iucIluillS VI Jul AOau9 has
been looked upon as one of the political
perquisites of party; and it is hard to
get rid of the idea. Scores of men in
each county have been given employ
ment therein for no other purpose than
to hold them IN line for future political
work and the roads received only half
attention. The application of the ordi-
nary principles which pertain to the
conductor any well regulated business
is what the5people desire to see adopted
in our public road building; and they
will be satisfied with nothing less.

BLAIR WOULD BE CONGRESSMAN
Montgomery County Friends Plan Hot
Fight for Nomination.

Gist Blair, of Montgomery county, is
an avowed asplrant for the Republican
Congressional nomination IN this district
to succeed Representative David J.
Lewis, and his friends are already at
work planning to put up a vigorous
fight in his behalf.
Blair sought the nomination two
years ago, but was defeated by Brain
ard H. Warner, Jr. In that contest
Blair beat Warner in four of the five
counties of the district, but tire ire
mendous vote rolled up for Warner in
Frederick county more than wiped out
the advantage in favor of Blair in the
other counties. 1t is understood that
Warner will not be candidate for nom
nation this time.

NO OCCASION FOR HASTE IN NAM
ING TAFT DELEGATES.

The Republican party in Maryland
should avoid the suspicion that it is so
fully under the control of Federal office
holders that Washington needs but
press the button to have done what 1t
wants done.
On the surface there seems little OPP
position here to sending delegation to
Chicago in favor of President Taft S re-
nomination. If a fight should result,
there would hardly be a chance to de-
feat the organization. But that is not
a reason for blazon;ng to the world that
the party here is merely tailpiece of
whatever Federal Administration dis
penses patronage.
A convention pulled off early in the
year with the purpose of demonstrating
that Maryland is in the Taft bandwagon
and in the hope that the President
would gain prestige from this sort of
support would not have the anticipated
effect. 1t would merely be said that
the administration had corralled dele
gates by aid of Federal holders.
The declaration in his favor would carry
about as much weight in the circum-
stances as if South Carolina or Texas
had done the same thing.
AS there is nothing to be gained by
departing from the regular order, the
sensible thing to do is to settle the
question at the right time, and when
action will not be viewed as a sort of
snap proceeding, carried out with the
idea of impressing the public with the
Presidents strength. Baltimore News

the departure of one who lived and la

has gone to his reward On the second
day Of May, 1898, Nathaniel Hart was
born into the:,world;;aa on the twenty
eighth day of December, 1911, he left
the world for his reward on high. He
left behind him wife and a host Of
friends TO mourn his departure. We
do not grievo as those who have no
nope, but the rather rejoice that the
faithful servant Of the Lord has finished
his course and has been received up.
As young man he was wild and dissi-
pated. He married a noble young
christian woman who prayed for his
salvation. One night he was returning
home from convivial party he saw
through a window of his home his wife
on her knees. He stopped to hear what
she was saying. AS he listened he
heard these words: Oh Lord, save my
husband! The PRAYER had its effect
and the Lord saved him. He felt i'm
mediately that he must preach the Cos
pei and for seven years he preached
everywhere he could find an audience
before he united with any church. His
reason for not uniting with a church
was that he could not find one which
came up to his standard of the New
Testament pattern. AS he was talking

on baptism the minister told him t lat
| the Baptist church taught what he be-
lieved, so, after investigation he united
with that church and for more than q
half century was a faithful teacher OF

With the return of warmer weather
conditions greater activity has devel-
oped in the local tobacco market. De-
liveries are being resumed again in a
moderate way for the bundled tobacco
is still solidly frozen, necessitating ad-
ditional trouble and expense to packers
in getting it in condition for the sort
ing tables. The P. Lorillard Co. re-
ceived here Monday and have dates for
taking fifty acres each working day,
which will prolong receiving for at
least three months. Warehouse work
is progressing now at nearly all the
packing points of the state and help
seems to be sufficient for the needs of
the packers. We hear of no resump-
tion of buying at present.
The market for old leaf is apparently
running along in quiet lines. Desirable
binder stock, however, is in good de-
mand. Aside from small order busi-
ness no sales of Importance have come
to notice.
The shipments out of storage reach
1172 cases and 9 carloads of bundles
for the week. Since last report 21 car
loads have been received from outside
points for warehouse handling.

DEERFIELD, WIS, Jan. II, 1912.

About 12O acres of tobacco was re-
ceived here the latter part of last week
which shows the farmers will have a
pretty good income from that source in
spite of the poor quality and low prices.
Harlow Klinefelter received 49 acres
for the American Tobacco Co., which
weighed out 79, $40 pounds and brought
SIS, 515.26. The average yield of these
lots per acre was 1920 pounds. Ole
Dahle brought crop from 28 acres
which went nearly 1900 pounds to the
acre. Martin largo received Sc acres
for the same company the same day,
and that totaled SIS, 527.96. He also
took in two crops for the United Cigar
Co., 10 cent goods, which netted Sam
Nesthus $1196.06 from eight acres and
John Berge $106.77 from Z of an acre.
The tobacco seemed to be in good con-
dition, at least there was not a pound
of dockage on any of the crops. At the
Ellingson warehouse there has been nc
dockage but parts of few crops are
being run over the table.
