1t is the duty Of every Democrat to
go to the polls on Tuesday, August 4th,
and cast his ballot, for the reason
that the amount of interest and az
tivity manifested at the primary ha.
considerable bearing upon TIE par
TVS success at the General Eiec Ton.
We should in all cases make the very
best nominations possible; and rs to
he contest for the nomination for
Representative in Congess, without
any effort to dlscreclit the MAJ who is
opposing Congressman Hensley, We
submit that Mr.. Hensley should be
rc-nominated by as near unanimous
vote as possible for the following few
material reasons:
/. Because he redeemed the 18th
Congressional District from the
Republicans;
,. Because he is, as to his personal,
professional and political charac-
Ntif dbOFt ItpIOaCnI
3. Because his official record is ms
good, if not better, than has been
made for years; in fact he has
gained a national reputation;
i. Because he has materially aided
and assisted the administration in
carrying out the wishes Of the peo-
Pile;
;. Because the President Of the
American Federation Of Labor (Mr. |
GomperS) urges his denomination |
and reelection;
!. Because his denomination by "A |
large majority will be construed as .
a hearty Endorsement Of his official /
record;
(. Because tremendous majority in
the primary win give him added
strength in the General election;
:. Because his denomination will
materially strengthen ever county

eleven counties;
}. Because it is unwise to retire

cause another is willing to repre-

Referring to the strike of last sum- !

son did not have to leave his office and
only went into the Lead Belt to ac-

Shcriffs. He could have compelled all |
OF them to come TO Pennington. but |
Pink is one of the accommodating Of |
hcers, always courteous and ready to |
assist the general public. The fees
he received were enormously turned |
in by Sheriff Williams as Guard" !
instead of fees as Circuit Clerk. Mr.. |
Wilson had to leave his home and |
family day and night in order to ac- |
commodate the men sworn in. We
do not know who or how this matter
was started but the Times wishes to
say that stories started about any
candidate just before election--stor-
les that could have been, told in plenty
of time to be answered--usually, and
rightfuliy should, react against the
party starting them.
The county desires to nominate and
elect men to our offices who are COM
petent and loyal. Everyone knows
that st. Francois county has never
had a more faithful, business-like,
competent officer than "Pink." He

What is the Dumdum Bullet?

Dumdum bullets have been freely dis oussed in many of the war reports. but exceedingly few people know what this term means or whence the name was de- rived. This is explained in an article in the war issue of the Scientific Amer ican.
 During the Chitral campaign in India, in 1895, the native troops found that the nickel-jacleted lead bullets they were using were not as effective as they wished; that is, they did not stop" their man. They found the difficulty could be overcome by partially stripping off the nickel jacket and exposing the leaden head. These bullets because they came from the Dumdum Ammunition Works at Calcutta, were known as "dumdums , They became greatly distorted when striking a soft body, spreading out into something like mushroom shape and producing q very serious wound This is the true dumdum bullet. It will be appreciated that, as in the Indian campaign, the bullet can be easily pre- fared by any soldier individually, with cut the knowledge of his superiors and if such bullets have been used in the present war, this is their undoubted source

IS SINGLENESS BLISS?
By LAURA KINGSTON

In spite of the frequently expressed
 masculine belief that all girls are
 ready to pick up the handkerchief when
 any lord of creation deigns to throw 1t, the fact remains that every day the
 average girl Is less and less inclined to regard marriage as the end and aim of her existence
 Where singleness Is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." is bachelor girls motto. What has marriage to offer her? the
 busy working girl demands Single,
 she works hard true but In her leisure
 moments she is absolutely free. She | owes no man anything and because she Is happy and healthy and bright all men are pleased to be in her society.
 and help to give her good time She
 can be friends. good comrades" with all or any of them. What could she gain in exchange?
 home? Her life is so full. she is
 amply satisfied with the shelter her own labor gives her. supposing she has left the family nest. A protector? She Is too fearless and independent to re- quire one.
 She looks in a plying fashion at tho girls of her own age who are married.
 and are leading. in her eyes, such nar-
 row and uninteresting lives--slaves of
 the ring--and she makes a pretty little
 mocking courtesy and refuses to listen
 to the voice of the charmer, charm he
 ever so wisely.
 And is she wise? Are girls in reality
 happier single than married? The
 question can hardly be dismissed with the usual remark that when she falls
 in love. the most bigoted young celebate will don the orange blossoms with joy Of course she will, when she falls in love; but 1t is quite possible to quite fill life with work. amusement and
 many friendships that love passes by
 unrecognized until too late busy, bustling or more or less but terfly-life may content her for a year or two; but the day inevitably dawns when woman's heart demands some thing more, when the sight of even the
 poorest of her sisters, surrounded by husband and children fills her soul with envy. and the isolation of her chosen lot frightens her.
 Then she longs for Q home--but the dearest spot on earth because it con- tains those she loves and to whose happiness she is absolutely necessary
 Be warned in time. Oh. pretty maidens Gather ye rosebuds while ye may; l And. while ye can. go marry" Don't refuse . really good fellow who has half won your heart for no better reason than that you imagine you will | have better time as bachelor girl;" but, even to escape 8 lonely old age, never never marry unless the right
 man asks you.
 | Look before you leap, and weigh we'll | the chance of a marriage where you give your hand without your heart. Working for a living may not consti- tute a life of unalloyed brightness. but it Is better far to endure the struggle
 of poverty than to sell yourself In mar
 riage for the sake of money or posi- ton.
