STORIES OF THE DAY
What She Wanted.

Jim Mann was on his way back from
Chicago and couldn't help hearing the
conversation of the couple in the Sec
ton right behind his. They looked
like newly married folks. but were not
on their honeymoon, as Mann learned
by deduction. The woman laid down
a newspaper she had been reading and
said to her husband:
do you know, l wish / had one OF
these affinities. Oh, l think it would
be just grand to sit on rock with
somebody and have him rave about
the incompatible golden color of my
hair and tell me that my eyes were
the most beautiful in the whole world,
and
"Uh, huh." said the husband, yawn-
ing.
"And that the delicate pink of my
cheeks had been painted there by the
angels, and that he couldn't live with
out me. Ooh. / think an affinity like
that would be-
"'Tisn't an affinity you want" inter-
rupted her husband. what you seem
to want is a plain, old-fashioned liar"

A Surprise for Greeley.

In his younger days. while filling
the humble position of printers devil,
Horace Greeley was sedulously court
ing the minister's daughter. Her ia
Their did not look with favor on the
young mans attentions.
One day, however, the good man
was unwontedly gracious. and invited
the future editor to come to church
the next Sabbath, as he felt sure the
sermon would be of special interest to
him. Sunday morning found young
Horace dressed in his best, seated in
the pew beside the fair object of his
devotion. Sermon time came, and his
dismay may be imagined when the
minister, looking straight at him, i'm
pressively announced as his text, "Lo!
My daughter is being grievously tor
mented by the devil."-Lippincott's
Magazine.

Candidate for County Treasurer

O@HuludIe LOT OCUIlJy treasurer .
1t is always a pleasure to
present the name Of a candidate
when he is known far and wide
as a man worthy, in every respect,
to the confidence and support
Of every voter Of the party at
whose hands he is asking nom
nation to an office. 1t is not
always advisable, nor is it some
times safe to tell all the truth
about a candidate in an an
nouncement notice. But, in this
instance The IntelIigencer feels
free to write the truth about Ike
Noyes, whose worthy aspiration
Is in accord with every
qualification he possesses for the
office he seeks-that Of County
Treasurer. Ike Noyes is singu-
larly qualified to meet the re
spOnsibilities of the office Of
Treasurer Of Lafayette county.
He has the brand of Democracy
that wears. He believes in his
party s principles and has always
been found doing his part
towards its success.
His edu"atlon and training, his
familiarity with the county's af-
fairs, his rugged honesty, all com
bined with a likable personality
will make him strong conten-
der for the consideration Of every
voter when called upon to make
a choice for candidate for this
important office. Mr., Noyes
will make a strong candidate, and
his election would mean sue
cessful administration Of the af-
fairs of that office.

". N. MUNN

Tie above named gentleman is a candidate for reelection to the office of representative from this county. This will be Mr. Munn's second term and in all probabil- ity he will have no opposition, in fact it is the opinion of his man. friends and the public generally that he made a very fair repre- sentative during the stormy ses- sion of 1911. He was successful in getting several bij s through the legislature cf importance b this countE, such as the special bill creating 2 special school dls- trict for Gale also for Sutton, and he passed the depository law for Nevada County whereby the pub- lie funds will now draw interest. He also introduced and passed a bill to get up an official roster of the Confederate veterans.
 Mr. Mum Was, as far as our information goes, on the right side of the most important legis- lation of that session. He IS a young man of no mean ability and with his experience there in 1911 will only make him the more better representative for t h e next term. Remember him at the polls.
