FRATERNAL ADVICE.

l Editor Frank McCOmber, of the Hart.
 ford Sunday Globe, having been con, 1 fronted with the allegation that he 'has
 mayoralty aspirati ons, ' coolly acknowl,
 edges the corn, and owns up that if he
 gets the republican nomination he 1 doesn't give tinker's what you cail-it
 whom the democrats put Up-he will 1 win, hands down.
 We dare say Editor McComber knows where he stands and that he would
 not forecast a result unless he had inn plicit confidence in his gift of prophecy.
 But as one who has been all. through
 the Office-seeking mill, and "gOt it, v
 going and coming, we advise him ill
 all friendliness, in the language of the late Bert Williams. to "let it alone"
 A few years ago. as all the world re- members, the editor of this paper launched a persOnally-conducted quad ruple campaign for four nominations in bunch. He did his best to impress the voters with the fact that the public demand for his nomination was over whelming and irresistible. His cam paign gathered strength and impetus up to the very day and hour of the eau GUS. and then a mere handful of so called patriots deliberately and with malice aforethought, did then and there with force and arms, sit down on that quad ruple boom with vehtmence that flat tened it out like a frog under a steam roller, and the will of the people was thwarted.
 A couple of years later, Gin 1914, to be exact, against his will and consent, the nomination for justice of the peace was wished on him when he wasn't looking. Being no quitter, he went into the fight for election, determined to win. And lie did win. His vigorous campaign not only elected himself but pulled through every other candidate for justice on all the tickets, including the Progressive. But it was a wear ing and tearing struggle-the chal- lenges to joint debate, the whirlwind through the factory. lime kiln. creamery and bake-shop districts; the straw ballottlng; the "touches" of the floating pan-handlers, and the agon- jzing suspense at the wind-up were heart breaking.
 And what did it all amount to? From the day of his triumphal election, to this, he has never had a justice of the peacing job. He has never tried drunk. married a couple, signed deed. nor received jug of contraband whis- key on the sly. There's nothing in politics for an honest man. These in- oidents are cited for Editor McComber's | benefit, and a word to the wise is as good as feast

In the happiness OF having at las.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Peter Makes a Flying Jump.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
copyright 1915. oy T. W. Burgess


To risk your life unless there's need
IL downright foolishncss indeed.
Never forget that. Never do such
crazy thing as Peter Rabbit was
doing. what was he doing? Why
he was running the risk OF being
caught by Reddy Fox all for the
sake OF a joke. Did you ever hear
OF anything more foolish? Yet Pc
ter was no different from lot Of
people who every day risk their
lives in the most careless and heed
less ways Just 10 save few minutes
OF time or for some other equally
foolish reason. The fact Is Peter
didn't stop TO think what a dreadful
thing might happen II his plans
didn't work out as he intended. He
didn't once think of little Mrs. Pc
ter over In the dear Old Brier Patch
and how she would feel II he never
came home again. That's the trouble
with thoughtlessness; II never takes
others into account.
All the time that Reddy Fox was
creeping along behind the old stone
wall on the edge of the Old Orchard,
Peter knew just where he was.
though Reddy didn't know that. n
he had known il he would have sus-
pected one OF Peters tricks. You
see Peter had quarreled with Sammy
Jay just to get Sammy TO scream
Ing so that Reddy would come up
from the Green Meadows to see
what was going on and he knew
perfectly well that Reddy would
steal along behind the old wall so
as to see what was going on.
Hell peep over that wall and
just as soon he sees me he will feel
sure that this time he will catch
me-" thought Peter "He will steal
along 10 that place where the wall
is lowest and will jump ever il

Peter names that he hadn't seen

quarrel with Peter.

screamed excitedly.
Peter did go II. He had to. He
ran with all his might. Reddy grin
