A Subject for Reflection.
When Speaker CANNON, in bis speech at
the Chicago convention, naming Repre-
sentative SHERMAN for the Vice Presiden.
tial nomination, referred to the possibility
of TAFT's death before the expiration of
the next presidential term, it is not unlike.
ly that ‘‘the wish was father to the
thought.” The CANNON crowd was oppos-
ed to TAPT and wanted to provide for the
succession in the eveny of election and
deqths, more to its liking,
“There is food for reflection in the
. thought, moreover. TAFT is a healthy
inan only fifty-one years of age, bus he
weighs about 300 pounds and men of that
type have, generally speaking, an uncer.
tain tenure of life. Assuming, therefore,
that TAFT is a fairly fit man for the office
of President, in view of the mortality
statistics, it wonld be a wise idea for the
people of the country to see to it that an
equally fit man for the Presidency is
elected Vice President.
And what a President ‘Jim’ SHERMAN
would make ? A scurvy politician who bas
vever kvown anything but obedience to
bosses of the odions type of CANNON, his
election would he a menace to common
decency during the entire period of his
incumbenoy. It wonld be like reversing
the course of civilization and tarning the
government over to the reactionaries. The
voters of thie country will hardly take
such a hazard at this time.

A GREAT MEETING.— We have jost

gram ; certainly none ever had #0 beauti-
ful a place for meeting. We believe that
there will be the largest attendance in the
history of the association, and we urge
every school teacher in this county to be-
come a member of this association and at-
tend its meeting.
Professional spirit alone should prompt
this. A desire to rise in the profession
should dictate is, as no one can expeot to
rise to higher positions without becoming
acquainted with those who lead in eduoa-
tional advancement.

AGED VETERAN CoyMITs SUICIDE.
—Liherty township had its share of excite-
ment on Sunday when the fact became
koown that Jobn M. Herr, an aged veteran
of the Civil war, living near the Hubbard
bridge between Maidsville and Monument,
bad committed suicide by cutting his
throat from ear to ear with a razor.
Mr. Herr was over seventy years of age
and owing to thecontinued illness of his wife
bad of late grown quite despondent. In
tact his condition was considered childish
and to this is attributed the cause of bis
rash act. It was about 5:30 o'clock on
Sunday morning when he left the house
with a bucket presumably to goto a sprig
abont ove havdred yards away for water.
Fifteen minutes later he was discovered
lying on the ground and when members of
the family wens to see what was the wat-
‘ter they were horrified to find him with
his throat cnt and gasping in the throes of
death. He died before he conld be remov-
ed from where be had fallen.
The only evideuce of when the deed was
committed was the trail of blood and ac
cording to this the man cas bis throat
shorely after leaving the house then went
to the spring and filled the bucket with
water and bad started on the return trip
when he sank to the ground about twenty
feet from the spring. His hat was foaud
in the hucket of water and at the spring
lay bis son’s rezor which he had saken to
carry out his premeditated act.
Mr. Herr was born at Salona where he
lived until the breaking ous of the Civil
war when he enlisted as a private in com-
pany D, Forty-fifth regimens, -and served
throughout the war. At the close of the
war he located in Liberty township where
he lived ever since. He ie survived by his
wife, five sons and a daughter, namely :
Harry, Joseph, Samuel, Charles, John and
Ida, residing in Arizona. His brother,
Martin W. Herr, was a former saperin-
tendent of public schools of Clinton coun-
ty. The funeral was held from the M. E.
church in Beech Creek at 10 o'clock on
Tnesday morning, interment being made
in the Clark cemetery.

Pretty Lively Fooling.
I was out walking in Kingston, Ja
‘naica. one afternoon, and while on a
narrow street [ came upon two black
women, each apparently in a towering
rage. Each woman's tongue was go-
ing at a phenowenal rate, but not a
word of their screeching jargon was
intelligible to me.
Finally one of the women scooped
up a double handful of the ever pres-
ent Kingston dust and flung it over
the other woman, with a wild shriek of
laughter. The dust covered woman re-
taliated by taking a tin pan she bad
in her hand and, scooping up a couple
of quarts of the dirty water in the gut-
ter by the roadside, drenching ber as-
sallant with it, while all that part of
Kingston resounded with the mad
laughter. The two women then cloned
in on each other and proceeded to en-
gage in a prolonged wrestle. which
resulted in both of them falling to the
ground, where they rolled over and
over in a cloud of dust and finally
stood upon their feet, facing each other
in a state of dirt and disorder beyond
deseription.
Fearing that they would make 8 swe-
ond onslaught on each other and wish-
ing to play the part of peacemaker, |
stepped forward and asked:
“What is the trouble?”
Courtesying low, one of the women
said in a soft, drawling voice:
“No trouble at all, mastah; we's jess
