The New Jersey Democratic
primary resulted in a big victory
for the contentious Of Gov.
Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat
ic candidate for the Presidency.
Representative Hughes, Gov.
Wilson'S candidate for the United
States Senate, won over Smith
by about twenty thousand ma
jority. This primary shows con.
clusively that Gov. Wilson is in
the saddle in the State of New
Jersey.

Why any Democrat should de-
sert Gov. Wilson in his fight for
the Presidency Of this country is
beyond our conception of DEM
ocratic duty, opportunity or good
of the country at large. He is
an able Statesman in full sympa-
thy with the great body of peo-
pie who are struggling for exist
ence. Against the allied combi-
nations of capital known as
trusts, a full believer in tariff
for revenue only, and having
forged his own way from the
humber walks in life's battles
he is eminently the man to place
at the head of our government
from whom the people may trul.
and justly expect a square deal

Mrs. E. C. Lane. who shot and
killed her husband at Danville,
about ten days ago, was given an
examining trial last Thursday,
and held for first degree murder.
From the tone of the papers
whisky and general cussedness
was the cause of the murder.
The slayer did considerable
swearing before she shot, and
the murdered man was proven
to have been drunk.

Eugene N. Foss. the present
Democratic Governor of Massa-
chusetts, was renominated for a
second term, in a State wide
primary, last Wednesday. The
Republicans elected Joseph
Walker as their candidate for
the same position. The Pro
gressives did not take part in the
primary, but it is generally con.
ceded that the strength of that
party has been Overestimated.

Dayton had bad limp on him as he
arose from the dust of the road.
You've done it now-b'gosh you've
done it," shouted the farmer as he
hung to the fence.
''Yaas," drawled young Dayton, with
an accent that would have done credit
to a Hindoo in London.
And why in the devil were you
here instead of somewhere else?" de-
manded the chauffeur.
There was more jawing, and there
were some awful threats made. BY
the great horn spoon, and the little
brass spoon, and various other spoons,

wouldn't take cent less He spoke
of warrants, arrests, sheriffs. jails and

When they entered the library Fen
tress turned and took stock OF his
guests. Mahaffy he had seen before:
Yancy and Cavendish were of course
strangers TO him, but their appear
ance explained them; last of all his
glance shifted to the Judge. He had
heard something of those activities by
means of which Slocum Price had
striven to distinguish himself. and he
had certain curiosity respecting the
man. 1t was Immediately satisfied.
The judge bad reached a degree OF
shabbiness seldom equaled, and but
for his mellow, effulgent personality
might well have passed for common
vagabond; and If his dress advertised
the state of his finances, his face ex-
planned his habits. No misconception
was possible about either.
May | offer you a glass OF liquor?'
asked Fentress, breaking the silence.
He stepped to the walnut comfortable
where there was a decanter and
glasses By gesture the Judge de-
clined the invitation. Whereat the
colonel looked surprised, but not so
surprised as Mahaffy. There was an
other silence.
II don't think We ever met betore?''
observed Fentress. There was some
thing in the fixed stare his visitor was
bending upon him that he found dis
quieting. just why, he could not have
told
But that fixed stare OF the Judges
continued. No, the man had not
changed-he had grown older certain
ly, but age had not come ungracefui-
iy; he became the glossy broadcloth
and spotless linen he wore. Here was
a man who could command the good
things of life, using them with ra-
tional temperance. The room itself
was in harmony with his character:
it was plain but rich In its appoint
ments, at once his library and his Of
fee, while the well-filled cases ranged
about the walls showed his tastes to
be in the main scholarly and intel
lectual
How long have you lived here?"
asked the Judge abruptly. Fentress
seemed to hesitate; but the Judges

manded an answer.

head. The judge took step nearer
him. People have great trick OF

states-all sorts OF damned rifrra r.

Not With Common Belief.

1t has been generally believed that
the brilliant plumage exhibited by the
males of many species OF birds during
spring-that is, during the mating sea-
sons directly connected with the
physiological condition OF the birds at
this time, and various theories have
been formulated to account for the
facts. Prof. Joseph Grinnell has found
In the Californian linnet some facts
that do not agree with the common
belief In this bird the male presents

the mating season, whereas in the au-
tunn and winter the feathers have a

One Way to Save Pennies.

Save all your empty@coffee and bah
ing powder cans, also your hubby's to-
bacco cans If he buys 1t by the pound,
which he should do, as by SO doing he
can save the price of cigar or more
on a pound can. Now, in place OF
sticking labels on your empty cans,
try my way. Soak off the wrapper on
can and dry well. Then paint cans
white and let dry. Then print black
letters on whatever you wish to use
can for-for example. beans, peas.
rice, sage, and such like. Now, IL
you buy your spices by the pound you
can save dollars in years time
They can be bought in bulk at all the
big stores. So save all your empty
cans to put them in. BY painting cans
white and the letters black you can
find what you want at glance and no
labels always coming Off Just try 1t
for yourself and see.

How Birds Change Plumage

spring, and examining these care
fully, 1t was found that in the new
feathers the brilliant red is confined
TO narrow band. which is overlapped
oy the edge of the adjacent feathers.
Inc overlapping portions are white
and brittle. During the winter these
delicate portions are rubbed OF and
lost, so that when the mating season
arrives the bird has its brilliant coat.
Mr.. Grinnell emphasizes especially the
fact that this brilliant coloring is ac-
tually produced in the autumn, after
the mating season, at a time of the
year when the vitality Of the birds IL
supposed to be at its lowest ebb.
