ponent as well as the Bull Moore

The tariff now being framed Nv

shows most conclusively that the

The election also shows that the

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
NOMINATED.

The Primary Election in the State
is over, and so far as this County !.
concerned, passed off quietly and
pleasantly and the Republican ticket
is now full and complete. That
tha-e was a Republican Primary in
the County is a TACT and that il
should have been avoided is another
fact, but as no good can at t. i, time
come from retrospect as to where
the responsibility rests, let the matter
pass and be forgotten for the present,
in the one, and should be, common
desire to elect the candidates at the
November election. They can be
elected and will be elected, but let
there be entire uuanimity in the
campaign, so that the party may roll
up an increased majority, fatterinp
both 10 the candidates and the party
and terrifying to the common enemy.
The personnel Of the candidates is
the very best. They are all taxpay-
ers and substantial citizens, identified
clearly and most fully with the ma
terial int, rests Of our County, whici
we all love, and the interest Of which
is always the paramount issue before
the people, and clean of character,
commanding, therefore, and neces-
sarily, the respect and confidence OF
all our people.
A little later an active aud aggre. ?
sive campaign for their endorsement,
and therefore, the suffrage of thu
people will begin, and the campaign
will be conducted on a high plane,
measuring up to what is right, aud
with full conception Of the ngl is OF
the pposing patty and in accord with
tie dignity and self-respeet OF the
high character of the respective can
didates.
The campaign will not be a play
upon Ignorant and human pr-judices,
as some wild, demagogical, maniacial,
mario w-minded, diseredited leaders
of the opposing party may assume 10
contend, but the platform will be
plain and fair statement of what Il
respective candidates seeking public
confidence stand for, and what they
will Try to do for the good of our
whole people, democrats and reput
licans.
But while We are happy po-
litical family, and the prospects u
party success are bright, let us sug-
gest that over confidence is a mis-
taken preeept. Labor Is honorable
and nothing is lost By labor. A thing
worth having is sorth an effort to
obtain. So, although the prospects
are bright for every candidate to re
ceiye large majority, let us, in

CAPTAIN KNEW HIS VISITOR
nough Would Bet lmperiled by
Presence of Idiot.

The brand-new battleship of the SUI
perdreadnought type had been thrown
open to visitors. Her captain stood
at the gangway receiving his guests,
pride and delight in his magnificent
I vessel shining in every lineament.
Suddenly his gaze concentrated upon
an approaching figure. His face grew
pale to the lips; he. shook in every
fiber. Controlling his terror by a
mighty effort, he turned hastily to! his
executive officer.
Clear for action, Mr.. Bloodlet," he
cried. Beat to quarters. Load with
grape. Order the marines to concen-
trate behind me, prepared to repel
boarders."
"Aye, aye, sir" responded the Off
Ger promptly. although thoroughly be-
wildered
The blood returned to the captains
face and he regained his composure
as he remarked how quickly his or
der were carried out, and how they
we're prepared to meet their formida-
BILE foe successfully. Then his eyes
again soughtethe object of his fears.
He was close aboard Hello, cap'n!
he cried, a vacuous smile playing
about his weak mouth.

Say, cap'n, that's what you seem
to be doin'," responded the enemy,
giggling.
Don't you try to set foot on board

mently. I'm not going to jeopardize

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
MY baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which l had fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared it as
follows: / soaked 11s tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk. put in pinch of salt and
q little sugar, warmed it and gave it
to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way I saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect
as this / can truthfully say I think
1t is the best food in the world to
raise delicate babies on and is also a
delicious healthful food for grown-ups
as we have discovered in our family
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable 70 the

Recipe for Making Jokes.

There is nothing any easier than
writing jokes. Simply iot down your
ideas for the jokes, say two or three
hundred, on<a slip Of paper; then seat
yourself before a typewriter. Feed
blank paper into the typewriter anG
inject the ideas through your finger
tips into the keys Continue to do
this until all of the ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather up tho
jokes, which have piled themselves
into heap on the opposite side OF tho
typewriter, send them to editors and
receive your checks. A couple OK
hours day spent in this manner
should bring you in revenue enough
to support wife and nine children.

Chief Clerk George G. Thorne of
the state department at Harrisburg
told of the call made by Union vet
eran early Cn the morning Of the fif-
tieth anniversary of the start of the
battle, who related that his conscience
troubled him because of the fact that
on that fateful morning many years
ago ne had succumbed to temptation
and stolen a quantity of onions from
the Thorne garden, which was located
near the historic Seminary ridge. He
told Thorne that he desired, at this
late day to pay for the onions and
thus relieve his conscience.
Needless to say, his offer of money
was refused, but the Thornes would
like to learn the identity of the sol
diers who upset eight beehives in the
dead Of night and appropriated all the
honey they contained.
A remarkable coincidence of the
camp was the meeting of two men Of
exactly the same name, coming from
towns OF the same name, but in differ
ent states. One fought on the union
side in the battle of Gettysburg, and
the other with the confederates.
These two men are John Carson of
Burlington, n j., and John Carson of
burlington, N. c.
They met by the merest chance.
The Jerse! Carson was walking along
one of the streets, and saw a man in
gray. Just to be friendly, the Jersey
man stopped him and gave him a
greeting. 1t was not until they had
talked for several minutes that they
discovered their names were Identical
as well as the names of their towns.
A grandson Of Francis Scott Key.
composer of THE Star-Spangled Ban
ner," is here. He is John Francis Key.
aged eighty-two, of Pikeville, Md, and
he is veteran of the Second Mary
land infantry of the confederate army.
Wearing a suit of gray, Key came
into town. weak and almost dropping.
He has been in failing health, but de-
clared he was going to see Gettys-
burg on this occasion or die"
One of the oldest veterans in the
big camp is Captain w. H. FIeig of
Houston. Texas, who was ninety years
of age on his last birthday, February
%. During the war he served with
distinction in the marine department
of the confederate navy. Captai-s
Fleig is one OF the best preserved
men in camp and Is more active than
many Of the other veterans score Of
years less advanced.
