To the Electors of Indiana Co. I have lived my life in Indiana county and all my interests and af fections are centered there. 1 have an ambition to be the President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of my home county and am making my appeal to you who are to decide the question of preference between the candidates at the primaries next Tuesday. I thought of being a can didate ten years ago, but upon reflec tion concluded to step aside in the in terest of older men with the under standing that I would be a candidate at this time. It has been my effort to make a dignified campaign and not to indulge either in unfair criti cism or in the spreading of false re ports about any other candidates. I shall maintain this position until the end. If elected, as I confidently ex pect to be, it shall be my constant effort to preserve the best traditions of our bench in the administration of the law. The people of Indiana coun ty have honored me beyond my de serving no doubt, and I have always felt a responsibility for the confi dence they have placed in me. If they should again give me a vote of confidence at the coming primaries, it will only add strength to my deter mination to serve them so as to pro mote the morals of the community and the best interests of society. We have a county, rich in resources, and just fairly started on the road to suc cessful development. My sympathies are with the public spirited people who are always willing to lend a helping hand in promoting industrial SYMPATHY. To give and take appears to be the inevitable law, and it seems as if those who have suffered most are those who have given most to us, in our sore human craving for help and sympathy.—Miss Thackeray. Lincoln's Funeral Coach. The first Pullman sleeping car, con structed in 1804 In the shops of the Alton ahd Chicago and called the Pio neer, served as the funeral coach for President Lincoln. Its cost was $lB.- 000, which was regarded in those days as most extravagant, and as it was higher and wider than the ordinary cars and the clearances of station plat forms and bridges when it was decid ed that it should be the funeral coach of the president many changes were Involved. Gangs of men were set work ing night and day to cut wider clear ances all the way from Washington (byway of New York and Albany) to Springfield. 111.—Brooklyn Eagle. (Political Advertisement.) growth, business enterprise, educa tional standards, good morals and ci vic righteousness. All of these things should go hand in hand in order that the best type of citizenship may be developed. During the campaign some false hoods have been circulated which it seems to me it is proper that I should answer. It is said that the Independ ent Brewing Company and other liq uor interests are financing my cam paign. I desire to stamp this as ab solutely false. There is not a word of truth in it. I have servel notice on all persons interested in the liq uor traffic who have said anything to me on the subject that I would not accept their financial assistance and did not solicit their support. Not one penny of liquor money, or money coming from any liquor interest has been used in my behalf nor will I permit it to be used. I am making my own campaign, paying my own expenses and will owe allegiance only to the good people of the county if elected judge. As I read the opinion of Judge Telford in granting the li cense at Glen Campbell at the last license court there can be very little difference of opinion between us on the law applicable to the granting of licenses. His views seem to he very clearly expressed in that opinion and since it is the latest utterance of the court upon the subject, I have the right to assume that it represents his final and settled views of the law. Of course, no aspirant for the judicial office, has a right to pre-judge cases cjticnuous Love "Do yer love me. 'Ejrb?" "Love yer.

The time honored razor backed hog is giving place to the sleek porker, on whose broad back a square meal could be displayed without a drop of coffee being spilled and with no danger of even one of the dishes sliding to the ground. The rooter is being shouldered out of the way in Georgia by the hog that doesn't have to root for a living and is so fat that its efforts to root would be ludicrous. Scientists say that when any part of an animal is lon*- unused it tends gradually to disappear. Does that mean that pig culture will cause the final disappearance of the nasal protuberance of the hog with which it formerly was accustomed to root for its living?— Savannah News.

CO. that may arise before him even in the license court. Our Superior Court has heid that this unfits a judge if elected after making such a promise to sit in the license court. I can on ly say, and Judge Telford can say no more, that if elected I shall give the question of the granting of licenses fair and judicial consideration upon the facts as presented, and will ren der a decision under the law and facts, having due regard to the right of the good citizens to appear and remonstrate as the law provides. In ail such cases the good order of the community should be upheld by the proper enforcement of the law. I want to see Indiana County a fitting place for our best people. It is the function of the legislature to make the laws and of the courts to enforce them. The courts as well as the people are bound by the law and can not ignore it. My own opinion is that the local option system is the best way to handle the license and this no doubt will come in due time. When that system prevails every man can vote his own convictions upon this question. It is also reported that a large ma jority of the members oi tne bar are {.gainst me. My answer is tfcut a :na joritv of the members of the bar have given me to understand thai theyi would support my candidacy and vote for me at the primaries.

It has been my privilege to serve the people of Indiana County in many capacities and I have always endeavored to render that service faithfully and well. I thank the peo ple of the county for the confidence they have reposed in-me in the past, and desire to assure them that if elected to the high office for which I am an aspirant I shall deem it a sa cred duty to so administer the affairs of the county as to keep taxation within proper limits, to expedite bus iness. to decide cases promptly, and to give every man, whether he be rich or poor, high or low, the full protection of the law in cases that may arise. In a general way I have thus indi cated my views on subjects in which you may be interested and expressed my views of the judicial office. 1 leave the matter in your hands and will be content with your decision whatever it may be. But no matter what your views may be on the judi cial question let us all join hands and pull together for the good of Indiana County, whose hills and valleys. like the painters brush, furnish the land scape so dear to the hearts of our youth and so beautiful to the vision of our mature years. Come in and see me after the primaries and we will have a handshake anyhow. Yours for success, J. N. LANGHAM. Eye Strain. There are two common kinds of eye strain. It is a strain for a person who is farsighted to do close work, and it is a strain for one who is near sighted to use the eyes for distances. Both kinds of eye strain produce the same symptoms—headache—and both require that the eyes he examined and glasses be provided. Assets and Liabilities. An asset is something which you think belongs to you. A liability is something of yours which others think belongs to them. Neither one of you is quite right. An asset without a lia bility would not be called an asset. Neither would a liability without an asset be called- a liability. It would then be debt, while an asset without liability would be wealth or capital or property. An asset is what you think you own. A liability is what others think you owe. What your liabilities are depend upon your assets. What your assets are depend upon your liabilities. Therefore an asset is a liability and a liability is an asset—Life. Qfiis ill s MCiiiM Sill to.

I Animal Etiquatta. No one who Is at all observant of the ways of animals can have failed to notice how gentle large dogs, like 1 the SL Bernard and the Great Dane, are to their smuiler canine fellows. It ' la rare that a big dog turns upon one of the little fellows, no matter how aggravating and snappy the latter may be. Instead, he Invariably treats the small dog's antics with unruffled and dignified tolerance. For there is a recognized code of etiquette among animals, if you please, quite as much as there is among human things. In truth, there are not a few respects in which the animals can give points on politeness and good behavior to man himself. Reading History. He who reads history learns to dis tlnguish what is local from what is universal, what is transitory from what is eternal; to discriminate be tween exceptions and rules, to trace the operation of disturbing causes, to separate the general principles which are always true and everywhere ap plicable from the accidental circum stances with which In every conmiu j nlty they are blended and with which, in an Isolated community, they are i confounded by the moat philosophical mind. Hence It is that in generalization the writers of modern times have far surpassed those of antiquity.—Macau lay.
