SORROWS OF The
OFFICE SEEKER.
FTuiiIess Fight Against Fate Of
One Unfortunate

The late Senator Bob Taylor of Ten
nessee used to tell this story to illus
trate the sorrows coming to at least
half the persons who run for office:
"An old fellow in eastern Tennessee
had nice farm and was happy until
he was persuaded to run for the legis-
lature. He was defeated. and it made
him so angry that he ran again and
again, always losing.
Then it began to dawn on him that
he was not popular. and he decided to
kill himself. no make sure he made a
triple effort. Rowing down the river in
a boat until he came to an overhanging
bough, he adjusted rope around his
neck and tied it to the limb. Then he
saturated his clothes with kerosene,
touched match to his trousers, fired
a bullet at his head and kicked the
boat out from under him.
THE bullet grazed his temple and cut
the rope. letting him fall in the river
and putting out the fire. He swan
ashore and ran that fall for the legis
lature on a reform ticket, but was
licked again."-New York Press.

impractical and Visionary, but he

In what sense is the "Whitc

this morning Mr.. Arnold and a de-
tective went to the station, while an

DR. Mary Walker. in talking today to a
Star reporter, chose Tears as her sub

ing of horses tails, a lost brooch, I'd
portemonnaie and a careless bank teller.
"A strange subject for Dr. Mary Wal =
er TO talk on, isn't it?'' she said. but l
want to say few words about Tears
The tear glands send forth moisture
so that the eyelids may not become hard
by their constant movement, which would
irritate and infiame and eventually de-
stroy sight.
The child cries because of a bro ZEN
sled. soiled or torn clothes. the prospect
of beating. or the privation of sports.
all of which are moving pictures in the
globes of tears, and, as many messages
can be sent in the same electric current,
so are all these sent out from the child s
eyes at once.
What "Tears' Contain.
THE microscope shows that in single
drop of stagnant water several kinds Of
animals rush around, regardless of their
fellows. While all that have stated are
IN the tears. no microscope has ever been
invented to demonstrate IT.
The horse, while It's tail Is being cut

greed and pride of its owner-the thought

a poor man, who bitches him to a dray
and he mourns the loss of a tail to sway
for relief when tired. All these are pic
lures in the horses tears.
