continued MISREPRESENTATION. His vote
has been for the minority as against the
majority of his constituents. He has
voted to remove the duty on practically
all of our farm products and thus lower
the price our people would be able to
receive. Then in order to make the
slap at the people who elected him to
Congress all the more distinct he has
voted to put on a high tariff basis
practically everything that the farmer
must buy. To add to his vote on the
general products bill, he has voted to
put wool on the free list and but for the
veto of Republican President I'M
doubtedly we would very shortly have
seen a greatly diminished value put upon
this product. 1t is thus seen that Mr..
Lewis has not represented the wishes of
his constituents and his vote in the past
foretells what he would do in case he
should be reelected. Yet in the face
Of this record of misrepresentation Mr..
Lewis comes back to US this year and
asks to be returned to Congress. In
consistent as it may seem he is actually
asking the people of this District to
send him back to Congress in order that
he may continue to vote against their
interests. And the people of the County
and District will be just as inconsistent,
or even more inconsistent, should they
by any chance vote for him.
Why then not vote for the party and
for the man who can and will do most
for the District? Mr.. Wagaman has
always been consistent in his work for
his party and for the people he has
served in times past and if elected to
Congress will help to give US the legis-
lation we most need. He stands for the
protective policy; fora square deal for
all his constituents; for legislation in
behalf of the majority as well as the
minority, and his vote on all questions
whether great or small can be depended
upon not to go astray. A District most
greatly benefited by the protective
policy why not elect a man who will
represent US? A vote for Mr.. Wagaman
means a continuation of our prosperity.

pressing their intention in Washington
county to support him. One can hear
it talked on the streets, in work shops,
on the railroads, on the farms, in the
rural districts.
All this largely by reason of Mr..
Wagaman's personal popularity and the
esteem in which he is held by his fellow
citizens, and also by reason of his firm
and substantial views on public ques-
tons, especially the tariff and the farm.
The farmers in Washington county
are especially interested in Mr.. Waga-
man. Besides being an able LAWYER he
is also a farmer of the first type own
ing and personally conducting a farm.
The farmers recognize that his views
on the problems which confronts them
are not visionary but are worked out
and framed from personal observation
and practical experience.
This class Of people appreciates this
fact and they are frank and out spoken
in their determination to stand by him
in this campaign.
The republicans of Washington county
irrespective of their intentions as to the
presidential candidates are a unit in
their support of Mr. Wagaman.
The large vote that he will receive
from personal friends of the opposite
partV, added to the solid vote of the
republican party, will give him Wash
ington county by an extraordinary
majority as stated above. -Hagerstown

 In the evening he called all his em rloyes into his office and, after thank ing them for their loyal support and efficient service. told them that al the request of the superintendent, he had resigned.
 There were eXclamations of sur. prise and indignation One of the operators proposed that they all strike. There were murmurs of as sent
 No, no said Davis. That would do you harm and would not do me any good. Stay with the company for the present at least. I may want you to help me later, but don't give up your present positions until you get better ones"
 Davis. always energetic, was unus- ually active during the next few days He saw all the firms in the city that did big telegraph business. He call. ed their attention to the fact, which most of them knew, that he had great. ly improved the telegraph service from that city. He had secured di. rect wires to New York and other important cities The rival telegraph company had been forced to improve their facilities in order to hold part of the business. He proposed to further improve the service Did they want faster service and quicker an- swers to their messages? Of course they did Then he had a confidential proposition to make. Would they Ls ing them, many of them did
 Four days before the date on which his resignation was to take place, Davis called upon Cameron. the local manager of the Commercial Telegraph company. Although competitors for business. and keenly alive to the in- terests of his own company, they were personal friends. Cameron, who did not know that Davis had re- signed was dumbfounded at the pro- position he made.
 T shall have to take that up with my superintendent at Cincinnati be- fore can give you an answer. Davis" he said. after expressing the Suprise he felt.
 But this matter must be decided at once" replied Davis. Give me a letter to the superintendent and will go and see him"
 The superintendent, however, when Davis saw him. said he would have to hear from the general superintend- ent in Chicago. Davis immediately set out to see him.
 T like your proposition, Mir. Davis" said the general superintendent. but as 1t involves considerable expendi- ture and a change in the wires out side of my division. I shall have to get authority from MT. Adams. gem eral manager, of the company, in New York"
 He is the man l want to see then. said Davis. Will you write him now recommending my proposition? I will take the letter directly to him and

 "You say that the leading firms 1T your city will give the telegraph bus mess to whichever company you want them to-" asked the president, hi: manner expressing incredulity. 'i say that they will allow me tC place their business with the com pany that will give them the quick est service. Here are the contracts with number of firms to that effect l Many other firms with whom l did no make a written contract verbally agreed to do so. Now, the substance of my proposition is-your company is to open two branch offices in the business district, put fn the additiona wires. and make the improvements that have dictated. These improve ments will give our city the best ser vice it has ever had. will then turn over the business that control.

 My salary depends upon the amount of business I give you. If you are afraid. however. to make the necessary outlay. the other company will consid--"
 Suppose I give you a larger com mission-say twice the amount you proposed-and do not make the i'm proyement. If you control the bus mess You can give it 10 us anyway, and both you and your company will make more"

 Davis left for home on the first train. He arrived on the morning of the day his resignation took effect. After bath and breakfast he hasten ed to the office-until this day he had always thought of it as his office.
 He found telegram from the su- perintendent of the Commercial com. pany awaiting him. It read:
 Your proposition accepted. In- stall branch offices and superintend other Improvements you outlined"

his work for the Union Telegraph company.
 | For the next week he was a busy man. He opened two branch offices. directed the work of four gangs of ! linemen who were stringing wires, | and made all necessary arrangements at the main office for handling the in- | creased business.
 l In the meanwhile the superintend- ent was arranging wires to all the | principal cities. When everything I was in readiness. Davis notified his customers, and in one day more than half of the business of the Union | Telegraph company was transferred to the Commercial company.
 The Union Telegraph company en. deayored to regain the business. Brooks, the new manager. who well knew that the president, when he learned Of the decrease in receipts, ed for Supt. Brown to come to his as sistance.
 T have reduced expenses, Mfr. Brown. as you directed" said Brooks after he had acquainted him with the situation. But since this loss in re- ceipts are larger. proportionately, than they were. The office will make an awful showing this month. We will have to fix up some kind of an explanation for the presNent."
 The president wants results. Fix plantations won't go with him. We have got to get this business back. Brooks" replied Supt. Brown.
 Together they canvssed the GUS toners who had turned their business to Davis with the rival company. Ev- anywhere they received the same an- swer:
 You will have to see Davis. He has charge of our telegraph business now. you know. He gives us quick service, too-the best We ever had. Bright young man, that fellow Davis. How did he happen to leave your company"
 A few of the smaller customers. however, promised to give them part of their business But after thoro- ughly canvassing the city they re- gained only a small part of the lost trade.
 Supt. Brown returned to his office and thought over the situation. T will have to offer excuses to the pres ident after all" he thought. |" I won der if he will tell me, as I. Davis that he wants results, not excuses. Anyway carried cut his policy in re- ducing expenses. I believe Davis is right. though, when he maintains that reducing expenses isn't always the best policy. Remarkable man, that fellow Davisi I wonder if I can get him back. I will have 10 increase his salary. I suppose. Humiliating. too. but less so than to be obliged to ex- plain the situation to the president"
 Then hs sent the following tele- gram to Davis:
 Will you accept your old position with us at $500 increase and carry out your own policy2 Wire answer"
 Two hours later he received this reply
 Cannot accept your offer. l have just been promoted to superintendent of this division of the Commercial Telegraph company"

New York, Feb. 19,-This spring
Miss Impecunious will have a distinc-

trimed hat. Very wide shot silk and
satin ribbons will be used to adorn
many of the smartest extmples of
headgear, and not a few of the new

crowns and brims rolled up all round,
are encircled with a fold of wide glace

This ribbon is in bishops purple,
shot with apple green, and tied in 4
great soft bow on one side.
The ribbon is. of course, not to be
obtained for mere song, but such Il

hardest wear without losing its fresh
ness, while it is perfectly easy to man
ipulate, and can be worn with almost
any type Of dress.
Some of these models have a big
