He has hunted and fshed and lived in the open, penetrating some of the widest and most remote regions in this eeun try. The calendar picture is from an original painting.

 Governor Will Now Appoint City Judge
 There was renewal of interest here Monday in the city court judgeship matter. Like the case of the contest between County Commissioner Corttis, republican. and |. D. Smith. democrat for-a q place on that board, there was dlsagreeIng action on the local judge ship matter. Judge L. H. Fuller re publican, the present incumbent re- ceived the endorsement of the republi- can house, while Alderman ]. Harry Mann was approved by the senate as q democratic candidate for the place. Since the adjournment of the legisla- ture last June the matter has hung fire. but, as Judge EulleT's present term does not expire until the end of the year. there has been only occasional reference to the final outcome of the matter.
 Following the. supreme court decision Of Saturday in the Hartford city court case. the goVernoT's right to appoint is now determined and some appointment as judge for the Putnam court is look ed for within a few days.
 When seen Monday afternoon Alder man Mann had little to say relative to the matter, but looks for the governor to act within a few days He is. of course, hopeful of getting the appoint ment but is making no predictions Attorney Eric H. Johnson, another democratic candidate, was elso inter ested in forthcoming possibilities, but gave no opinion as to what the gover- nor will do. Attorney Johnson's name was filed with the legislature as a candidate for the office early this year.
 Judge Fuller was not inclined to talk much Monday about what the governor will do. He said-that he had been in terested in reading the decision, which in a way may be regarded as adverse

LEGIRLG HANDWRITING.

An accomplishment which Is sadly
neglected BY many people who are
able 10 read and who do write many
letters. is the art of writing their own
names so legibly that he who runs
through the letters may read.
The numbers of well-edueated peo-
pie who cannot write their own names
50 they can be read outside the fam
ily circle is amazing. Members of a
mans household learn, In time. that
certain hierogiyphics, indeeipherable
by strangers. stand for fathers name.
and in time they learn 10 love the
hleroglyphies and to be glad to see
them, just as they often love a parent
who makes anything else but hand
some appearance. and who's way of
dealing with his children Il hard to
understand. But strangers don't learn
To love those hieroglyphiea.
No man can, by thinking. add one
enblt to his stature. but any man
can. by trying, improve his hand
writing until It attains the standard of
1egibility.

DR.. J. W. HERINGs RESIGNATION
FROM TIE PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION.

The high character and intelligence
Of some of our public men make them
SO useful to the State which they have
served and 30 beneficial to the COM
munities In which they are concerned
that It seems very great priyation TO
have to do without their services.
The Advocate feels that II Is yoicing
the sentiment of large majority Of
the people In the State and county
when II says that such Is the case with
DR.. Joshua ". Herring. Who has this
month rendered his resignation as a
member Of the Public Service TOM
mission TO Governor Goldsborough and
has declared that on account OF his
falling health he Will no longer en-
gage In any public office.
DR.. Herring. with his exceptional
ability, his long residence here OF over
60 years, and his never falling conr-
tesy, has won not only the high regard
but the love of the people generally
and 1t is with the deepest concern that
We have learned of his impaired
health.
For over ID years Or. Herring has
been cashier Of the Union National
Bank of Westminster. He has always
been active IN the affairs Of this city
and has done many things for the ad-
yancement Of the intellectual, business,
social and religious welfare OF the
community.
He has also long been one OF the
prominent men in the public
life of the State and the Demo-
cratic party. In 1895 he vas elected
State Senator and served throughout
the sessions Of 1896 and 1895, and In
1899 he was elected Comptroller. He
was reelected In 1901. lis long expert
ence as n banker fully qualified him
for the duties of this Office and the ad-
ministration of the States finances
during these two terms Haa marked
by unusual excellence Declining
to be renominated IN 1903 he
was succeeded by Comptroller
Atkinson Who served two terms.
DR.. Herring was again elected
to the Office In 1907 and reelected In
1909, continuing in Office until the for
nation of the Public Service Commlsa-
ion, when he was appointed one OF the
three Commissioners b. Governor
Crothers.
In accepting his resignation to take
effect September 10, Governor Colds
borough dwells on the most excellent
service which DR.. Herring has render
ed the State. not alone n a member
of the Public Service Commission, but
in all of the public Offices to which he
has been called by the people of
Maryland
We hope that Dr. Herring may speed
lily recover his health. He shall at
all times have the deepest concern
and the kindest regards Of the people
of Westminster.

BEAUTFY TIE SCHOOL GROUNDS.

The article which appears in this
issue under the caption Opportunity
deserves careful reading, which
should be followed by some decisive
action.
1t appears that the Woman's Civic
League, a body of the representative
women of Westminster At whose in
stigation much has already been ae=
complished for the betterment of our
community. has been anxious to I'm
prove the grounds around the
high school building on Centre
street. With this praiseworthy
end in view representatives of the
Civic League have for some time been
trying to lay the matter before the
School Commissioners, but have, 80
far, not been able to interest them.
nor to secure a hearing before the
Board.
The ladies have, however, succeed
ed in interesting an expert landscape
gardener from the Maryland Agrlcul-
tural College who offers to give his
services gratutously and promises
that his college will assist the league
In bearing the cost of the shrubbery
