LESSONS He Knew the Answer His name was Tommy, and he came home from school looking so down in his mouth that Mother asked him severely what was the matter? Out of his little trouser pocket he fished a note from the teacher, which said, "Tommy has been a very naughty boy. Please have a serious talk with him." "What did you do?" asked Mother. "Nothing." sobbed Tommy. "She asked a question, and I was the only one who could answer It." "H'm," murmured Mother. "What was the question?" "Who put the dead mousi In her deskdrawer?" answered Tommy.—Llp incott's PLUMMER BOOMED FOR TREASURERSHIP Splendid Work in Organizing Blair County Has Resulted in Praise For Him Harrisburg friends of J. Lee Plum mer, former member of the House from Blair county, both on and off Capitol Hill are talking of the splendid manner In which he swung Blair county back into the Republican col umn. Mr. Plummer took up the bur den of reorganization after the Roose velt campaign of 1912 and Blair coun ty, which was counted upon by Demo crats because of the Progressive strength shown two years ago, gave a Republican majority for the whole ticket and elected a Republican sen ator and three Republican legislators. The credit for this achievement is given to Mr. Plummer by men of every party, who have recognized his re markable gifts for organization. The success of Mr. Plummer has caused him to be boomed for State Treasurer in 1916, the Altoona Tri bune, the leading paper of that portion of Pennsylvania, saying: "The candidates and the private members of the party owe Chairman Plummer a sincere vote of thanks for his arduous and successful efforts. The State nominees in whose behalf he labored with untiring zeal and rare wisdom will undoubtedly join in this vote for they are cognizant of the situation here In the early spring and of the difficulties that have been suc cessfully surmounted by Chairman Plummer and his loyal assistants. The line of battle against the foes of Re publican principles and policies was cleverly formed and steadfastly main tained and The Tribune believes it is proper to publicly thank the leader for the successful conduct of the cam paign. "Let. us add the conviction that the Republicans of the State owe to Mr. Plummer the coming nomination foi the office of State Treasurer. In 1905 he was made the scapegoat to bear the sins of others. There was nothing per sonal In his defeat for the office of State Treasurer in that year. He suf. fered for the sins of unwise leaders. He has earned the grateful recognition of the leader as well as the rank and file and we believe he'll get it."
