mer teachers are no longer with us.
We feel keenly the loss of Miss An
derson and Miss Taylor from our
teaching force and the temporary abb
sence of Mrs. Jessup hut have made
provision for this emergency and have
been Fortunate in securing excellent
substitutes. Miss Edwyna Davies has
kindly consented to take Miss Tay-

Leod's temporarily as both groups
were studying the same lessons. Miss
Effie Harvey is teaching Mrs. Jes.

CHARACTER IN THE TONGUE
Look at Your Own and See II There
Is Any Sense to This New
Science, So-Called.

"Put out your tongue" is a phrase
associated in most peoples minds with
doctors, and is usually reminiscent OF
minor ailments and nasty medicines
spoken by a glossomancist however
the curt command takes on an alto.
gether different significance.
A glossomancist. it may be as well
to explain. is a professor of glosso.
nancy. a new science which consists
in reading peoples characters by the
shape and size of their tongues.
Thus, according to it's votaries, the
possessor of short and broad tongue
is apt to be untruthful as to words
and unreliable as to deeds. A long
tongue moderately pointed. denotes
frankness. and a loving, trustful, af.
fectiohate disposition. When the
tongue is long and broad. however. II
Is sign that the owner is shallow
and superficial and also great talk.
er. The typical woman gossip, say
glossomancists. almost always shows
this shape of tongue.
The small round tongue, plump. and
in shape like an oyster, denotes medi,
ocre abilities. and a nature that is
commonplace and colorless. A short
narrow tongue goes with nature that
is at once quick-tempered and yet af
fectionate. strong and sudden in hate
as In love.
The worst type Of tongue Is the
long. narrow. sinuous kind, what CLOS.
somancists call the snake tongue
Its possessors are likely to be cruel
sly, vindictive and very deceitful.

A TAME ELECTION

AS we view it, there is not going
to be much spread-eagle enthusiasm
injected into the national campaign
this fall. Both men and women of
normak intellect and reasoning pow
ers, who have carefully watched the
trend of circumstances in, not only
orr own, but foreign lands for the
past two years, when nearly the
whole Of tie civilized world is aflame
with the spirit of rapine and muir
der, have formed an opinion.
These men and women, WHO are
the elective power of the land, have
read of millions of lives being slaugh-
tered upon the battlefield of far-away
sunny Europe, and each life taken
represents vacant chair at the
family fireside and numerous voids
in am aching heart that can ne'er
again be filled.
They have seen this same warcloud
lowering over our own peaceful Land
that is seething with electrical en-
ergy, that only requires misguid-
ed spark to set it aflame and involve,
the country in blooodashed, and the
youth and flower cf the land march
to wanton destruction.
These men and women, who COM
pose the elective rower of the land,
have carefully no.ed the acts of the
controlling power of this great re-
public, who by skillful diplomacy has
80 far preserved his country from the
horrors and destruction incident to
q great war, and they are prepared
to go to the polls in November and
continue in power the one who has
thus far, and will continue. the peace
and tranquility Of his land, as against
all nations.
The flowery campaign speeches and
the martial music. that was wont to
enthuse and thrill, will be hushed
as that solid phalanx of freeborn
men and women march to the. ballot
box on that bright November morn
and silently deposit their ballot for
the one who has preserved the great
est band of freemen known to tha
world from the cruel and destructive,
hand of war.

DEMOCRATS GO BEFORE THE
PEOPLE WITH AN ISSUE

For tie past quarter of CEN
tury the Republican party have been
wont to go before the people at cam
paign times with platform recount
ing their past record. Today the ta-
bles are turned and the party now,
in power can go before the people.
with an array of constructive laws
that none can gainsay or deny.
The Democratic party have given
to the people a financial system
that has successfully withstcod the
upheaval of all Europe, and enabled
the country to wrest from the old
world the money center. They have
given to us revised tariff law that
protects all classes alike, and not
the favored few. They have given to
Us law that taxes the incomes Of
the rich on an equal footing with
that of the common householder.
They have given to us the inherit
ance law, whereby portion of the
estates Of deceased men of wealth
are made to pay their proportion of
state and national taxes.
And above all, they have given to
US ruler who has been called upon
to settle grave diplomatic questions
for the nation that has heretofore
had no precedent, to not only the
satisfaction of his own country, but
the majority of all nations. This rul-
er is the true embodiment of all THAT
pertains to Americanism in its literal
sense, ard in whose being is woven
the highest tyre of citizenship and
lcve us-country.
The Democratic party under this
scholarly instructor has given to
tie country code of laws, that will
in time not only eliminate class leg
islation, that has grown and flourish
ed under Republican rule, but will
tend to equalize the social standing
of it's people, and promote greater
and stronger republic.

PuIImans for pormItorI.,.

Some Of the students of Blackburn
college, Carlinville. Pa. are to have
novel dormitories. Two Pullman
coaches have been obtained by DR..
William M. Hudson. president of the
college. and soon forty or fifty stu.
dents will take up their quarters in
them.
The scheme was planned to give re-
lief to the congestion in the student
quarters. which had been cause OF
anxiety to officers of the college. The
students are delighted with the idea,
particularly as the Pullmans will not
cost them more than room in the regu-
lar dormitories.

Boise Penrose, U. S. senator, from
Pennsylvania, was denounced by
Roosevelt four years ago, as one of
the most debased and tricky politi-

Teddy and Boise are sleeping in the

LUKE McLukE SAYS

Nature is a mean cuss. She has
lots OF space to put mole on girls
anatomy, tut she often places, it
just where she ha to wear high-neck-
ed waists SO you can't see it.
What has become OF the old-fasl-
ioped Chinaman who used to wear a
pigtail?
II dollar looks twice as big to
you wien it is going as it does when
it is coming, you do not need to wor
ry about having your eyes examined.
They are o. X.
The reason why a girl doesn't care
a hang when she has pimples on her
face is because size would just as
soon have smallpox where you could
not see it.
A whole lot of perfectly good avn
ing material is being used up for
sport skirts this summer. And the
girls are actually carrying things in
tie pockets in the skirts. But we'd
like to bet that if the pockets were
back en- the hips instead of on in
front, the pockets would always be
empty.
There was time when they used
to forget to fasten their packets in
the back. Nowadays they forget to
fasten their waists in the front.
We talk about mans inhumanity to
man. But what about woman's inhu
manity to woman. Ever notice that
when a woman has furnished rooms
to rent that the sign reads: "For Men
only?"
| A girl hasn't any holes in her head.
That's the reason she never wears
a silhouette skirt on a cloudy day.
A man never misses the four dol
lars he spends over the bar. Rnt
he'll raise Cain over the four nickels
he misses out of his pocket when
he gets UP in the morning.
Isn't it funny how soon a wife's
kisses can change from hot honey to
cold putty?
