Cherry Withdraws From Race

Cherry Withdraws From Race.
Prof. H. H. Cherry, of Bowling
Green has resigned from the race for
Democratic nomination for Governor.
Among other reasons given for his
action is the attempt to force the
statewide issue into the campaign.
Mr.. Cherry in his card of withdrawal
thanks his friends for their support
and makes it plain that he with
draws in favor of no other candidate.
Many Ohio County Democrats will
regret the withdrawal of Prof.
Cherry as he has many friends here
and had he remained in the race
would have received a substantial
vote in this locality.

From his beached house boat be-
low the bridge Lewis Bozarth saw a
queer specimen of bird Sunday on the
river about two hundred yards below.
He got an automatic pistol and after
padding to the middle of the river
in boat fired, missing the bird only
few inches. The steel bullet glanc-
ed from the water and passed
through the leg of Mr.. Rufus Brad
shaw who had been running his trot
line and was at that time on a point,
which made him on a line with Bo-
Earth and the fowl. The bullet
passed through the fleshy part break
ing no bones. Bozarth says he look
ed down the river before he shot but
saw no one. After the shot, how,
ever, he saw someone go up the bank
but didn't know he was hurt. Up
on learning that his built had hit
Bradshaw, Bozarth went to the home
of the latter, made arrangements
for another man to work in his place
until recovery and promised to pay
all doctor bills. No hard feelings
resulted from the accident. BOzarth
killed his bird with the second shot
and it is very unique specimen.
He has sent it to Greensboro to be
mounted.

Fixing the Crime.

1t was only a nice friendly kind of a
"sing-song" at the hydro, but just be-
cause it was free expectations ran
high, and the critics were in full force.
The young man who rose to sing The
Maiden Fair With Golden Hair" had
the best intentions in the world, but
somehow he was not up to what is
called concert pitch" Indeed, he was
very much below it, and after making
two or three attempts he had to capitu-
late and resume his seat at the back.
Then the benevolent-looking chairman
rose.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is not
a word to be said against the young
gentleman. He did his best, and what
can mar do more? He deserves our
thanks for his willingness to come for
ward. But do think that the person
who asked him to sing should be shot"

KNEW 1T HAD TO BE DONE
Though He Recognized Necessity
for Its Observance.

A New York engineer was survey
ing the route of a branch line for a
railway system. An old farmer with
whom he stopped for a time admitted
one day, when he saw the engineer
figuring in the field, hat mathematics
always seemed a wonderful thing to
him.
Being young and enthusiastic, the
engineer began to enlarge upon its
wonders, telling the farmer how we
could measure the distances to diff
ferent planets and even weigh the
planets; how we could foretell the
coming of a comet or an eclipse years
in advance of its actual occurrence,
determine the velocity of the swiftest
prolectiles, ascertain the heights Of
mountains without scaling them, and
many other things meant to astonish
the old man.
ayes, them things does seem kinder
curious, "}said the farmer, but what
always bothered me was to under
stand whySyou have to carry one for
every ten. But if you don't" he con-
tinued, with ee4vietien, @the-. aarned
thing won't come out right."-Eyery

WERE MEN OF FEW WORDS
treat Fighters Wasted Little Time in
Composition of Dispatches That
Told of Victory.

1t is fitting that the great soldier,
who should be a man of deeds rather
than words, should set an example of
terseness in his dispatches. Thus, af.
ter the capitulation of Prague, Suva-
rolf thus communicated the joyful
news to his empress, "Hurrah!
Prague!" to which Catherine, not to
be outdone in brevity, answered, Bra
vo! Field Marshall"
That grim sea dog, Robert Blake,
after gaining one of his famous vic
tories over the French, sen the news
in this concise and businesslike form,
Met with the French fleet; beat,
killed, and burned as per margin"
The Vicomte de Turenne, marshal
of France, was a man of equally few
words, as he proved when, after his
brilliant defeat of Condo at the Dunes
III 1855, he announced his triumph in
ten words; "The enemy came, was
beaten; Il am tired, goodnight"
But the worlds greatest generals
have always been models of breyity
as to modesty since the days of
Caesar, whose Il came, l saw, | con.

The American Girl.

We are proud Of the American girl,
and justly SO. She has not her equal
in all the wide, wide world. She has
grace of mind as we'll as of face.
She is vivacious and piquant, yet with
a reserve of dignity that is a shield
and buckler.
She is abreast of the times, and re-
joices in a period that is here. She
is a genuine optimist, not one for
mere advertising purposes. She reads
much and sensibly. She Is fond of ro-
nance but detests silly sensational
ism. She does not wish to be a queen
and to be w~orshiped as such. She
wishes respect and companionship
and opportunity for rational freedom
and self-development.
She has independence without OBJ
stinacy, ambition without fanaticism
She thinks for herself, and her opin-
ions are her own, not manufactured
for her by interested persons. With
equal facility she can WELD the fan,
the golf stick, the cooking utensil
and even the ballot.-Philadelphis

Irish Xmas Their Ancestors.

There are more than two hundred
and twenty-five Hogans listed in the
Philadelphia directory and they say
that the Boston Hogan who wanted
the probate court to make him Ho-
man is the only one of the clan who
was ever ashamed of his name.
Ashamed of the name of Hogan,"
exclaims one of them. Shades of the
Princes of Crioch Ciani Why, the
Hogans are descendants of Irish kings.
Cosgrach was the second son of Lor-
can the one hundred and third king
of Thormond Stem, and vas the an
cestor of the family. Crioch Clan of
which they were chiefs, vas a terri
tory in the principality of Ormond.
The Hogans had a fortified residence
at Ardcromy;s a parish in the barony
of Lower Ormond, and they had an
other at Ballylusky, in the same terri
tory. That was in ancient times"
The Philadelphia Hogans never
change their names excepting when
one of the daughters of the clan gets
married.-Boston Post.

sides in winter; open to wistful sum-

One cannot but wish that every
h~omebuilder and architect would
learn these words by heart, and hold
them as a constant reminder-for in
that one prophetic sentence seems to
be condensed the very spirit OF
home.
The atmosphere of comfort and rest

One of the main dangers in the

GAUGE for Measuring SootfaIl.

The Pittsburgher who resents the
timeworn variations of the soft coal
smoke gibes now has his chance to
prove that they are unjustified, or re-
main forever silent. By a new inven-
ton it is at present possible to measure
the ~sootfall of any city as accurately
as it's rain or snowfall may be meas
ured. Already this SCOT gauge, tried
out in England, has proved what the
tourist long suspected, that London,
with all it's yellow fog, has far purer
air than the North of England factory
cities of Birmingham, Manchester and
the like. Not only have Pittsburgh and
other s%landered American cities the
opportunity to whiten their sooted
regulations, but the manufacturer, too,
may now establish accurately the ex-
act proportion of his contribution to
the civic SCOT; for the new device
judges the quality as well as the
amount of sootfall, and is quite capable
of distinguishing between the factory,
furnace and kitchen range.-Literary
Digest.

the old orchard road near the farm.
Fifteen minutes earlier she repaired
to the old tree that had been to them
a favorite trysting place.
Ned came spinning along on his
bicycle, not a moment late, a fine
specimen of a healthy, buoyant
young man interested and happy in
his work. He swung a coil of wire
and his tool bag to the road and was
over the fence in a joyous leap.
Dear girl" he said fondly, and
then started at Hetty in alarm, for
she was weeping.
Bit by bit the miserable story came
out. He consoled her, he reiterated
his love. He said nothing of revenge,
elopement or encouragement.
Little lady" he observed in his
hopeful sanguine way, all right! If |
can't see you, can keep on loving
you, can't II"
Yes, yes" murmured Hetty bro
kenly, but l shan't hear-those low
ing words! Why, not to have you tell
me how you think of me every day"
But you shall" announced Ned
definitely. you have agreed not to
write to me. Don't. You have prom
ised not to meet me. Keep your
word. I'll arrange all that, but-trust
me to break down this wall of preju-
dice. Oceans shan't part US. In the
meantime, until things settle down

Ned drew from his coat pocket one
of the tools he used in putting in
wires. He waved it %buoyantly.
"Yonder," he said, pointing to the
barb wire fence, lis a conductor right
at hand. I'll connect up half a mile
down the road with Farmer Moore's
house line. The feeder will go up
there" and he pointed among the
branches of the old apple tree.
"Oh, Ned" cried Hetty, clasping
her hands in ecstasy, "you-you don't
mean"
That I am going to put a tele-
phone especially for you up in that
tree. Why, every evening we can talk
over the line for hours, if we want to-
