August j. Waffen TO prevent the county
board OF canvassers from opening the
ballot boxes in precincts No and 2

The point upon which Mr. Waffen
based his appeal was that the township

which the box was sealed as the law
directs
Messrs. Moriarty & Dwyer appeared
for Mr. McDonough They hled a
cross bill admitting that the boxes
lacked a seal but that the township

had been carefully preserved and that
there was no tampering with them nor
was there any opportunity for any
tampering and asking the court TO take
testimony
The arguments by both sides were
lengthy and occupied most Of the
afternoon. Judge Flanagan was very
careful in the matter as be wished to
preserve the rights 20 both parti TO

MAKING BUSINESS
FRIENDS AT HOME

When you desire to raise money to
put through a business proposition,
do you board a railroad train and
seek it from capitalists in some dis
tant city?
WE'LL not very often. You go
down the street calling on every one
in sight, and come back on the 9th
er side.
Yet some of us who have often asked
home people in the past, and will ask
for them again, do not hesitate
to spend money freely and needless
ly in patronizing the merchants of
other cities, often too, to our dis
tinct disadvantage and regret,
1t is an excellent principle to stand
by the people that stick to you. The
man who buys everything possible
at home creates a circle Of business
friends, who appreciate his loyalty,
and would like to return it in so far
as they can. These business rela-
lions lead to personal friendships,
and they bring returns not from self
interest alone, but from ties of neigh
borliness and good fellowship.
A great many things in life go by
favor. When two propositions look
about alike, you choose the one that
is backed by the man with whom
you have had some friendly relation
Every time any one buys at home he
creates that relation, and the fruit
age is likely to come back with a
surprising amount of compound in
terest some day, and it often comes
from unexpected quarters.

to Mr.. Howellls few nights ago,
President Taft referred to him as the
greatest living American writer. Mr..
Howells' work no doubt has had limi-
tations. But every young American
who is seeking either fame, fortune,
or flapjacks as a writer, has much
to learn from study of his style.
It is true that Mr. HoweIs never
made a universal appeal. Dickens an
Marks Twain are read alike in the
cultured home of the college PROBES
sor and in the cabin of the sheep
herder. Howells is the educated
mans novelist. His characters have
certain lanquid introspection in
the charming meanderings of which
the unlettered man becomes bewiIder.
ed
Yet Mr.. Howells has had that SUI
preme gift of making commonplace
people interesting. 1t is a common
trick of authors, and many great
authors at that to select for their
leading characters persons having
some very rare gift. Every one is
interested in star.
Mr.. Howells, however, enIivens the
dull mOnotony of daily life and aver
age achievement He Eliminates the
prosy routine of ordinary human ma
ture with his delicious perception of
incongruity. But to grasp his deli
cate shades of humor presupposes
some considerable degree of educat-
ed reflection
Every newspaper reporter, every
budding author, would profit by a
course of reading in Howells, to
study his gift of finding the one right
word, the one elusive and shifty
grain of gold in the dry sands of the
dictionary.
In the hurry of ordinary newspa-
per and literary work, the most of
US are content with language that
only approximately expresses our i
IDEAS. Seen through this dim me
dunn of ordinary language, the world
of ideas is like a beautiful lands
cape viewed on a misty day.
The finding of the one right word
to express a thought is like the COM
ing of the wind, which brushes away
the fogs and allows the objects of
nature to stand out sharp and clear
in bright sunlight This gift was
the pre-eminent possession of Mr..
Howells, and it lies close to the
heart of all that is best in the writ
ers difficult craft.

THE WANT AID "PLAYSlTS
PART" IN HUMAN AFFAIRS

Lood out of your window and watch
the people who are passing. That
man with the anxious face is out of
works. looking for it; looking for
work by walking around, somewhat
aimlessly-as might have had to be
before there was such a thing as
want advertising in the world
The woman in a hurry is on her way
to answer a want ad in person-the
other woman is going shopping, and
to have a servant wanted ad printed
in to-mOrroW's paper.
That young fellow answered a want
ad yesterday and now has his Letter
appointing an interview.
The other young man hurrying a.
long is going to take look at a
furnished room advertised in yester-
days paper.
There are people passing who have
properties to sell or to rent, and
people meeting and passing them
who want to buy or rent just such
properties.
The Waman who wants a servant
and the servant who wants a place,
walk along a few PAGES apart-alI
OF them, perhaps, intending to pub
lish want ads.
In one hour-if your window looks
upon busy street-there will have
passed in review before you people
with every sort of want and other
people able and willing to satisfy e.
very one of these wants.
With little imagination you can
picture the work the want ads should
do for these people, and will do, for
some Of them, within few days

BLOODHOUNDS
On THE TRAIL

The pursuit by bloodhounds of the
Allen outlaws, for the recent Hills
vile, Va, murders, will suggest. to
most people thai the mountaineers
are being pursued by large and fe-
roclous beasts. Their eyes are pic
tuTed as glowing like Goals of hatred,
and their claws as tearing the quarry
limb from limb should they overtake
them in their mountain Businesses.
The popular impression of blood
hounds is derived mostly from the
wicked looking beasts carted around
the country by the Uncle Toms
Cabin companies. These are not
a pure bloodhound, being a cross be
tween that animal and a great Dane
or other ferocious and powerful dog.
The real bloodhound, when he over
takes his prey, merely shifts of the
object of his pursuit, and wags his
tail IN JOY at a task well done.
Such bloodhounds as there were
IN the South were exterminated by
Union soldiers during the Civil war.
and the breed was considered ex-
tlnct Tor years thereafter. In 1888
the Westminster Kennel Club of
New York exhibited several of them
imported from England A Vermont
breeder was so struck with their
beauty, that he begun raising them.
They have become tremendously use
full in overtaking criminals, particu-
larry in the Western states, where
many a train robber and outlaw has
yielded to the supreme gift of follow
ing human trail.
The modern outlaw and criminal
is resourceful person. He goes a.
bout his task with intelligence and
quick wit. With keen foresight he
covers all trace of his
presence. Yet he has left one in
tangible thing behind, the odor of
the human body. This the blood
hound, and only the bloodhound can
follow.
This wonderful creature will track
him through crowded city streets, |
thru railroad stations and populous
haunts of men, will often follow him
when he mounts into a carriage One
Western criminal padded the
boots of his mule, but occasionally
got off the beast to see if the pad
ding was all right. These occasional
foot prints enabled the hounds to
do their work.
The bloodhound often seems the
very finger of fate, when he follows |
this elusive trail through populous
town, and stops, before the door of |
some citizen supposed to be upright |
and law abiding. He could conceal
his evil deed from the eyes and cum
ming of man, from all agencies but |
the nose of the bloodhound Truly |
a creature that can thus penetrate |
and defeat the devices of the wicked
Is friend of man indeed, in these |
days of laWlessness and an increas-
ing criminal class.
