THE STATE TREASURERSHIP
Republican Nominee As Vrewed By An
Editor Frorri His Home County.
In commenting upon the contest for
stale treasurer, the editor of the Hollt
j daysburg Register says:
"Hon J. Lea Plummer, the Republi
can candidate for state treasurer, has
the ability to fill that office with
credit. This fact cannot be success
fully contradicted; besides, he la
known by the people with whom he
has lived all his life to be perfectly
honest and reliable and a man of tho
strictest Integrity. While not a Pro
\ hibitlonist, he is a man of the strictest
; temperance habits. These are facts
i which cannot be controverted, lie was
j regularly nominated In a Republican
| state convention, composed of dele
i gates who were chosen by the Republl*
i cans of the various counties of the
i state.
"There was every opportunity for
any man In the state to contest tlis
| nomination with him. He was nomi
' nated fairly as tho candidate of his
party. Now, what Republican can havo
a valid excuse to vote against him''
! Is it better that the. Republicans as
| sifit a Democrat Into one of the best
! offices of the state, or vote for their
! candidate, who is In every way worthy?
1 The opposition is trying hard to rals#
! a respectable fight against him, tint
| the only possible show they will h^\e
■ will be through the votes of Repubti
• cans. Why should we aid them' in
! their work?"
A Word to State Republicans.
j "The Republican party is not ro
: sponsible for the misuse that has been
made of It in Philadelphia," says the
i editor of the Juniata Herald. "The
I truth is that It deserves credit for cor
■ reeling the wrongs that have been com
! ruitted by some of its faithless mem
bers. The corruption that has existed
In Philadelphia is wholly of a locai
| character and the party In the state has
, no connection with or relation to it.
! Why should the party elsewhere sufTer
on account of it? Why should statu
! candidates be defeated because of what
I has occurred in a single city? If the
j sins of a few were to be visited upon
1 the party when could It ever be suc
! cessful? The Republican ticket Is com
! posed of honest men, was fairly nomi
, nated and is entitled to the support of
every rucmber of the party. Re sure
to vote for it."

OWL COURTSHIPS
Show a Devotion Rarely Met Among
More Favored Creatures.
Very funny it la, from the human
point of view, to witness the love-mak
ing of a couple of owls on a moonlight
night, as they sit together on the cop
ing of an old wall, or on the horizontal
limb of some giant of the forest. Perch
ed on the same bough, or the same wall
or ruin, the lady owl, though usually
much bigger and atrouger than her
mate looks the picture of demure coy
ness, if a little excited inwardly, like
a girl at her first ball.
Hut the male owl, says the Pall Mall
Magazine, is very much in earnest; for
a moment or two ha remains quite
still, then he puffs out all his feathers,
bows, and utters a softened scream,
followed by a modified hiss that is full
of tender meaning, and then he nudges
her with his wing; shit opens her big
eyes very wide, and gives him a side
long glance that may be a hint, for,
horrible to relate, from the depths of
his interior he Instantly brings up a
half-digested mouse; and, although she
is full of similar rodents and stag
beetles as she can comfortably hold,
she opens her mouth and accepts the
fragrant gift wilth a murmur of satis
faction that speaks volumes of love
and thanks. Then, when the dainty
morsel has been disposed of, they ca
ress each other tenderly for a moment
or two, and then sit closely pressed to
each other's side whil« the process of
assimilation is perfected, after which
they simultaneously flit away into the
moonlight 011 noiseless wing in search
of further prey.
Not only do the owls guard each
other with a devotion thut is rarely met
with among more favored creatures,
they positively idolize their ill-favored
offspring, for whose sak« they willing
ly risk not only liberty, but life. A
young owl is not an attractive looking
object from our point of view, but in
its father's and mother's eyes it is per
fection, and the way they wait on it,
cuddle and caress it. feed it and keep
'.t clean, must be seen to be believed.
Among the Pigmies.
Though it was a dangerous under,
lakin:: for file Vfrican explorers to
travel through the land of the pigmies,
there must have been a huge interest
in obfvrvmg the ways of these little
mills, who were generally struck spell
bound at the sight of the white men.
Mr. Lloyd, writing in Chambers's
Journal, says lie was twenty days
walking through the great forest in
habited by the pigmies, a forets so
dark That iu many places it was im
possible to read, even at noonday.
Hie t'i-mies were fairly intelligent,
and peacefully disposed, although their
arrows were tipped with deadly poi-
Kuu. They bad a frightened appear
ance. and covered their faces. Tike shy
children, when spoken to. The forest
was alive with elephants, leopards,
wild pigs, buffaloes, and antelopes.
After leaving the forest Mr. Lloyd
canto to one place where he (ook the
opportunity of screwing together the
bicycle which he had brought with
hini. \ spin on the machine brought
out thousands of men, women, and
children from their villages, and tliey
danced and yelled with delight at see
ing. as they expressed it, a European
riding a suaku.
Whittier Color Blind.
"Mr. Whittier greatly surprised me
by confessing that he was quite color,
blind." savs the Bookman. "He ex

togo 'shopping' for himself, but that
once, being In Boston, and needing a
carpet, he had ventured togo to a store!
and buy what lie had thought to be a
very nice, quiet article, precisely suited
to adorn a Quaker home. When it ar- j
rived at Amesbury there was a uuiver-1

L=t» EXPERT BUGGY MAKER
Give you some IMCIHr FAPT^
Mr. F. L. Shaw, tnanagvr JL JL hj JL SLmJi a JL
j of our vehicle interests, bought
two buggies from the same house the other day. One cost $ 1 8.00 more than the other. Then he took the buggies
•11 apart to see just why one was higher priced than the other. Here is what he found out :
Both buggies had exactly the same seat and back, same size body, same wheels, shafts and everything else, except
that the higher priced one had 14-oz. cloth trimmings instead of Keratol, found in the cheaper ; a leather boot, instead
of rubber ; a better axle, and the rinish on the woodwork was slightly better, but not very much.
Read the difference—and learn how easily price can be raised without changing the grade, in a buggy.
