POLITICS AND THE JUDGSHIP

The Colfax Comm oner asserts that
democrats of the county should rally
&c the support of r. L. McCroskey
for the superior judgship on the
ground that he is a democrat. This
IL plain appeal to prejudice and a
direct violation of the spirit of the
primary law. In order that the high
office in question shall not be
dragged into the mire OF party poll
tics the law wisely provides that a
candidate for the position must file
as non-partisan. This is a sound
provision and Will be violated only
by the thoughtless. The chief quail
fications which go in making a su
perior judge are personal character
and mental fitness and the present
contest should be settled on that
basis alone. Up to the present the
many persons who favor the re-elec-
ton OF Judge NELL have treated his
opponent, Mr. McCroskey, with every
courtesy and it is with deep regret
that we note that some of the chief
supporters of the latter are not doing
the same. While we are willing to
agree that both the candidates are
gentlemen we take issue with the

Snake Bites tn Siam.

Great numbers of Siamese die every year of snake bites. On being bitten the victim simply lies down and sue cumbs. The deaths are most numer- ous during the rice planting season, when the people are working in the fields, for the season is coincident with the nesting time of the cobra, which will then attack human beings without hesitation if they happen near the nest. The cobra will also bite un- der water. There are 6fty-two varie- ties of snakes in Siam, the majority of them being venomous. In size they range from the thirty foot python to the deadly little earth snake six inches in length. The following is a Siamese prescription for snake bites, on the theory that like cures like, it is to be presumed: Bone of goose. tail of fish, bones of domestic pig, bones of wild boar, bones of a peacock, the head of a venomous snake. Pound to a pow der, mix, dilute with plenty of water and take in quantities.-Good Health.

Golden Gate Foas.

The fogs of the Pacific and especial ly those on the coast of California, Oregon and Washington present some characteristic features of their own. They are low lying. dense and of ire Quent and regular occurrence and have been the cause directly and indirectly of large percentage of marine dis asters in the vicinity of San Francisco. Owing to the general movement of the air from the sea toward the land and the climate of the great interior valley. fog is frequent and well marked. In summer the afternoon sea fog varies in depth from 100 to HOO feet, but it rarely reaches far inland. On some afternoons the velocity of the wind at San Francisco rises with almost clock like regularity to about twenty-two miles an hour, and solid wall of fog, averaging 1,5OO feet in height. comes through the Golden Gate, causing fall in temperature to about that of the sea-namely, 65 degrees F. The upper level of the fog can be plainly seen from the hills in the vicinity. Above the fog level the air is cloud less, and the afternoon temperature ranges from 80 degrees F. to 90 de- grees F.-ChicagO News.

Saved by Irvina's Recital.

Sir Henry Irving. through the real istic portrayal of the sufferings of a haunted man by his recital of "Eu- gene Aram," caused one human being to be saved years of agony and sus- pense. A murder had been committed in a certain neighborhood, and man had been seen in the vicinity where the crime was perpetrated. He him. self knew that he was innocent, but feared to face or run the risk of a trial. Therefore, although cleverly disguised. he ventured out only at night. One night he went to the gallery of thea ter where Henry Irving was playing and in listening to the recital of "Eu- gene Aram' lost sight of the fact that Eugene really did the murder. The great actor so vividly imparted the happy sense of relieved conscience which follows confession that the fol- lowing day he gave himself up to the police. The evidence was not strong enough to convict. so he was able to bravely face the world instead of crawling about the earth the most mis- erable of all creatures, a haunted man. London Sketch.

How Japanese Speak of Death.

At Onsen-Gori of Iyo province q mans death is spoken of as The has gone to Hiroshima to buy cotton" In the same province the expression changes to ''to go to Hiroshima to buy tea" at Echi-gori and to "to go to Hiro- shima to buy tobacco" at Nii-gori. In Buzen and Iwami they also say ''he has gone to Hiroshima to buy cotton" :" The reason is that the people hate to pronounce the inauspicious word death" But why they have come to limit the unknown destination to Hiro- shima remains mystery. At Hagi of Choshu they say ''he has gone to Na- gasaki to buy tea" when they want to say a man is dead, but one knows not why Nagasaki of all other places has been chosen. In this connection 1t will be interesting to learn that the Eta in Chikuzen province will bluntiy say when they refer to girl who has been married, "She has found a place to die at."-Dr. Enryo Inouye.

MANAGERS ARE CLAIMING
 274 DELEGATES
Especial from United Press !

\OPeCIdI IIOIIl On1I0Q FroSS.1
 Washington, March 29-Within three weeks-possibly two-President Taft will have enough delegates pledged to insure his nomination on the first bal lot at Chicago. This was the definite flat prediction voiced here today by the Taft headquarters. It is figured on the basis of approaching State conventions and primaries.
 Today the Taft managers claimed 274 delegates. Five hundred and thir- ty-nine are necessary to a choice During the last week the Taft forces garnered 131 delegates. Next week they expect to obtain a score more and the following week to get the re- maining number necessary to control the national convention.
 For the week beginning April g. Taft men expect to get New York's big quota, with Vermont, Kentucky, Mich 1gan and Pennsylvania delegates in addition to scattering delegates from various district conventions, the Chi cago primaries, St. Louis ward pri- maries, Hawaii and others.
 The prediction was made that, with the radical >~progressiyes in Nebraska divided between Roosevelt and LaFol- lette, perhaps Taft might win there.
 An endorsement of the Taft Alaska policy is expected tomorrow when the Territory's convention is expected to pledge it's two delegates to the Presi- dent. Taft friends today insisted that the pre-convention campaign was practically over and that Taft's re- nomination was absolutely assured.

Misanthropy-or Caution?

What could be more refreshing to a faded sense of humor than this story, which the London Daily Mail tells of the greatest buttonholer in London?
 On his return from winter holiday this gentleman was telling his ac- quaintances at his club in Pall Mall that he had been occupying house at Davos, not far from Mir. Labouchere, who, he added, was in a very melan- chOly state.
 'T am truly sorry for that" said one of his hearers ''What is the matter with him?''

PLAN TO HAVE ROWING
 CLUBS AT YALE THIS YEAR

New Haven, March 9.-In an effort to stimulate to it's fullest extent in- terest in rowing at Yale, Radcliffe Romeyn, captain of the Yale crew, and James O. Rodgers, the coach, have conceived the idea of forming clubs among the students and to have all those who have the slightest inclina- ffon to taking up rowing belong to one of the clubs. A meeting was held yesterday for the purpose of talking over the matter, and it was addressed by Messrs. Romeyn and Rodgers Ar engagements were made for the for nation of two clubs. All the crew candidates will be members of one of the two clubs, and by @ process of elimination the final selections for the university and freshman eights will be made.
 This is a complete change in the rowing system at Yale, and Messrs Rodgers and Romeyn believe that it will work out well. The clubs will probably take for their names the names of the old clubs which once existed at Yale, and by so doing ai- other step toward the adoption of the old system in boating circles at the university will have been made.

A Torrent of Mataora.

The great shower of stars which took place on Nov. IS. 1888. and was seen over the greater part of the Unit ed States extended over the north At lantic and from the great lakes to the West Indies and Central America. An, old paper of that time, describing the scene as it appeared at the falls of Mi agara. says, '"The awful roar of the cataract filled the mind of the specta- tor with an infinitely heightened sense of sublimity when its waters were lighted up by the glare of the mete- oric torrent in the sky" In southern Indiana. where the display was fully as brilliant, many persons were badly frightened. believing the end of the world. so often predicted. was at hand. As the end of the world did not come. the thirteenth day of the month was thereafter for several years marked down as a lucky day in the calendar Indianapolis News.

Tn. popui.r Side of the Street.

Owners or renters of retail stores should look out for the side of the street on which the property is located. Illustrative of this is the testimony of a real estate expert in a recent case that ground floors on the west Sde of Broadway, New York, should tease for $15O front foot more than similar property across the street. The value of a retail business depends on the number of fassersby, and the differ ence in this respect may result in q booming trade on one side of street and only moderate success on the oth- CT. Some men gre able to acquire such a reputation for their goods that the people go to them even when they are inconveniently located, but it is a good deal easier in building up trade to put yourself on the route traversed by the crowds.-Leslie's.

Retort of a Bonaparte.

The former king of Westphalia, a man of wit, was one day examining an inkstand upon the table of some one we know. The writer, at whose house Jerome Bonaparte was at that mo- ment, had brought back from trip to the Alps, made in company with Charles Nodier, some years before, bit of steatitic serpentine, carved and hollowed into an inkstand, which he had purchased of chamois hunter of the mer de glace. Jerome Bonaparte was looking at this.
 ''What is it s'' he asked.
 My inkstand," replied the writer. Then he added: 'It is steatite. Ad- mire nature, who makes this charming green stone out of little dirt and oxide"
 'I admire much more the men," re- sponded Jerome Bonaparte, "who make an inkstand out of this stone"
 For brother of Napoleon this was not a bad reply, and he should be credited with it, for the inkstand is to destroy the sword.-Victor Hugo.

ponkexs In Trousers.

The stranger in Guayaquil, in Ecua- dor, at once remarks one very curl ous feature of it's life and general ap- pearance. We are used to seeing nets over our horses in the summer, but such an outfit as is required by the donkeys in the tropics strikes the stranger as ludicrous. The donkeys are numerous in the city and are used for all manner of load purposes. from baskets of fruit to the carcasses of butchers meat. In the morning a string of them may be seen trottfng through the streets with a loed of fresh meat from the slaughter house, which is situated outside the town The donkeys are all provided with coverings around the fore legs, like ordinary trousers, and with a protec- ton over the ears against the mos quitoes. The Guayaquil donkey pre- sents a most comical appearance in trousers, especially if his garment is embroidered, as it sometimes is.

(Op0Cldl OnlL6Q Pr6SS.)
 Liverpool, March 2s-Carrying top weight of 175 pounds, Jerry M., the most popular horse in England, owned by Sir Charles G. Assheton-Smith, the noted Welch landlord, won the Grand National Steeplechase over the Aintree track, today.
 Two years ago Jerry M, also car rying top weight, was nosed out by the lightweight French crack Litteur. and his victory today was very popu- lar Blackstone. from the c. Bower Earl of Derby's Axle Pin, third Twentyfour horses started. With the smallest attendance in its history due to the railroad strike and with the field cut down through the inability of owners to get cars to shir their thoroughbreds to the course. the annual running of the Grand National Steeplechase over the stiffest course in the world, the 1-2 miles of the Aintree Enclosure, took place today. The meeting was further marred by the absence of King George and his court, His Majesty having remained at home because of the fear that coal strike developments might require his presence in London.
 The race also was less valuable than usual, the first money being only $17, 800. The honor of owning the Ma tional winner cannot be estimated in money, however, and that was what most of the owners wanted
 Many of the owners rode their own mounts in the hope that they might be first past the post, as the glory that follows piloting thoroughbred over this course successfully is no small consideration.
 There was only one American entry, FoxhaH Keenes Precentor, who was well backed because he was pitch forked into the race under a very light weight. He ran well for a short dis tance but fell. Of the entire field, + fell. The betting against Jerry M was to 1 with 40 to 1 against Blood stone and 20 to 1 against Axle Pin.

HAS CONE AWAY A LONG
 LONG TIME''
Baby Son of Philip Hichborn Alone With Nurse in Big House of Late Admiral Hich- born
.(Special from United Press.)


 Washington, .March 29-Cablegrams to Europe failed to bring news, to- day. of Horace Wylie and Mrs. Eli nore Hoyt Hichborn, whose elopement caused the suicide of Philip Hich- born, Mrs. Henry NJ. Hoyt, mother of the woman who provoked the tragedy, is prostrated with remorse and hu> imitation. today, but is endeavoring to find her daughter and the Wash ington clubman.
 Business associates of Wylie have failed to throw light on the foreign retreat of the couple. Through Wy lies banking connections it is hoped eventually to trace the pair, when Wylie draws more money.
 The baby son of the Hichborns is alone with it's nurse in the big, gloomy home of the late Admiral Hichborn, while his grandmother is attending the funeral at Boston. The boy has not yet been informed of the fathers death.
 Papa has gone away, long, long time," is all the baby has been told, friends of the family stated, today.
 Efforts to locate any other will than the brief suicide note left by Hich- born were futile. His law partners searched their offices in vain for such a document. That the ghastly note left in the home of his sister, Mrs. Pearsall, asking that all his property be given his baby son, is invalid as a legal document is asserted by prom inent lawyers. But is it not believed Mrs. Hichborn will ever claim any part of the meagre estate left by her husband. If she does not the child orphaned by it's fathers suicide and mothers desertion will benefit to the fullest extent by Hichborns death message.
 Grief of the Hichborns is augmented by the death in New York of Mrs. Walker. a sister of Captain Paul Pearsall, who will feave the grave of Hichborn at Boston to attend the fun eral of his sister in New York.

BILL LUBY FIRST OF
 RECRUITS TO COME BACK
Especial to The Farmer.)

Especial to The E'armer.)
 New York, March 2e.-Bill Luby is back to the city from the Giants training camp at Marlin, Texas. Luby came to town yesterday having re- ceived his unconditional release from the New York manager. With the regular outfield--Devore, Snodgrass, Harry Mccormick, the comeback" :" and Arthur Bues, the Giants are we'll supplied with outfielders.
 Luby says the weather was miser- able at Marlin, and the athletes did not get chance to put in the pre- liminary practice they have had in former years. Out of the long stay at Marlin, there were not half doz- en days which were favored with what could be called fine weather in Texas. It was wet most of the time. besides being chilly and windy. Luby said that Rube Marquard looked to be in the best shape of the regular pitchers, and when he got a chance in practice he turned his curves loose with a lot of steam. ''Matty," Luby said, took things pretty easy, and did not try to pitch at his usual speed.
 Of the new men on the pitching staff, Luby says that Fullenweider and Tesreau are likely to stick with the club. Fullenweider has, made quite a hit with McGraw, and has shown himself to be tOp-notch bOxman. While not a big athlete, Fullenweider is stocky and heavy, and has much strength in his wide, we'll developed shoulders.
 He has an extensive repertoire of curves, and showed them to a good advantage. Tesreau also has shown up strong and, according to Luby, is likely to stay with the club. Another pitcher who has shown himself to be good boxman is George Pierce, the former Eastern leaguer. In the prac- tice games in which Pierce has work ed, he has shown unusual ability and stands a good chance of being given a try-out in the championship games Luby was formerly in the Connecticut League, but he has not decided where he will play this season.
