THE STATE TREA«URER*HIP
Republican Nomine* At Viewed By An
Editor Fro iti Hie Home County.
In commenting upon the contest tot
state treasurer, tbe editor of the HollV
days burg Register says:
| "Hon J. Lee Plummer, tbe Republi
can candidate for state treasurer, baa
the ability to All that office with
credit. This fact cannot be success
fully contradicted; besides, he is
kiiown by the people with whom he
has lived all bis life to be perfectly
honest and reliable and a man of the
strictest integrity. While not a Pro
hibitionist. he is a man of the strictest'
temperance habits. These are facta
which canuot be controverted. He was
regularly nominated in a Republican
state convention, composed of dele
gates who were chosen by the RepublU
cans of the various counties of the
state.
"There was every opportunity for
any man In tbe state to contest thai
nomination with him. He was nomi
nated fairly as th<t candidate of hit
party. N'ow, what Republican can have
a valid excuse to "vote against hlmf
Is It butter that tbe Republicans as
sist a Democrat into one of the best
offices of the state, or vote for their
candidate, who is In every way worthy?
Tbe opposition Is trying hard to raiao
a respectable fight against him, h*t
the only possible show they will ha>*
will be through the votes of Republi
cans Why should we aid them In
their work?"
A Word to 9tate Republicans.
"The Republican party is not re
sponsible for the misuse that has been
made of It In Philadelphia," says the
editor of th« Juniata Herald. "The
truth is that it deserves credit for cor
recting the wrongs that have t>eea com
mitted by some of its faithieaa mem
bers The corruption that has existed
In Philadelphia is wholly of a local
character and the party in the state haa
no connection with or relation to it.
Why should the party elaewher* eufler
on account of it? Why should state
candidates be defeated because of what
has occurred in a single city? If the
slns of a few were to be vlatted upon
th« party when could it ever be suc
cessful? The Republican ticket Is eom- !
posed of honest men, was fairly aoml
nated and Is entitled to the support of
every member of the party. Be sure
to vote for it."

OWL COURT9HIP9
Show a Devotion Barely Hat Amoi|
- More FaroM Creatures.
Very funny U la, from the humen
point of view, to wltnese the love-mak
in* of a couple of owls on a moonlight
night, as thfy alt to fat liar on the cop
ing of an old wall, or on the horisontal
limb of some giant of the forest. Perch
ed oh the same bough, or the same wall
or ruin, the lady owl, though usually
much bigger and stronger than her
mate looks the picture of demure coy
ness, if a little •excited inwardly, llk«
a girl ait her first ball.
But the male owl, says the Pall Mall
Magazine, la very much in earnest; for
'a moment or two be remains quite
still, then be putts out all hla 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; she 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
. bis 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 aeeepts the
fragrant gift wtth 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 eride while the process of
assimilation is perfected, after which
they simultaneously flit away into the
moonlight on noiseless wing in search
of further prey.
Not only do the owls guard each
other with a devotion that la rarely met
with among more favored creatures,
they positively idolise their ill-favored
offspring, for whose sake they willing
ly risk not only liberty, but life. A
young owl is not an attraatlve 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 wan s dangerous under
taking for the African explorers It
travel through the Jimd of the pigmies,
there must liav<> been a huge interest
iu observing the ways of these little
imps, who were generally struck spell
bound nt the night of the white men.
Mr. TJoyd, writing in Chambers's
■ Journal, says he was twenty days
walking through the great forest in
j habited by the pigmies, a forets so
| tlark tlmt in many places it was im
possible to read, even at uooqday.
The pigmies were fairly intelligent,
and peacefully disposed, although their
arrows were tipped with deadly poi
son. They had a frightened appear
ance. and covered their faces, Wee shy
children, when spoken to. The forest
was alive with elephants, leopards,
wild pigs, buffaloes, and antelopes.
After leaving the forest Mr. Lloyd
came to one place Where he took the
opportunity of screwing together the
bicycle which he had brought with
him. A spin on the machine brought
out thousands of men, women, and
children from their villages, and they
danced and yelled with delight at see
ing. as they expressed it, a European
riding a snake-
Whtttier Color Blind.
"Mr. Whltfier greatly surprised me
L>y confessing that be was quite color
blind." says the Bookman. "He ex
emplified bis condition by saying that
tr I came to Amesburj I should be
1 scandalised by one of hiß carpets. It
' appeared that he was never permitted
! by the guardian goddess of his hearth
j togo 'shopping' for himself, but that
' once, being In Boston, and needing a
I carpet, he had ventured togo to a store
' and buy what he had thought to be a
i very nice, quiet article, precisely suited
i to ndorn a Quaker home. When it ar
* rived at Amesbury there, was a univer
j sal shout of horror, for what had
; struck Mr. Whittler as a particularly
j soft combination of browns and grays
! proved, to normal eyes, to be a loud
j pattern of bright red roses on a field
;of the crudest cabbage green. When
i he bad told me this, it Was then easy
! to observe that the fulness and bril
i lianc.v of his wonderful eyes had some
: thing which was not entirely normal
i about them."

j Hugh Montgomery, whose father
i owns a large ranch in the fertile San
! Joaquin Valley, California, went to
; San Francisco and paid a brief visit
j at the house of a clerical uncle.
This divine, who is one of the best
' and most hospitable of men, follows
the custom of having prayers before
breakfast. In connection with this
se'vlce taeii member of the family
cii cie Is expected to recite a verse of j
Scripture. Hugh, who has habitually j
a he-.':thy appetite, became decid I
edly sharp set before the amen was ;
said. When bis turn came to recite s
verse he slgnlflcanly repeated the fa- !
miliar words:
"llow many hi rod servants of my j
father's have bread enough and to ,
spj»re. while I perish of hugger?"
The reverend uncle listened with i
twinkling eyes and there was a speedy
adjournment to a well-spread table.

Giv. you some INQinF PATTK
Mr. F. L. Sh*w, managar Jl |3it VJJIA A
of ear vehicle interests, bought
two buggies from the time house the other day. One cost J 18.00 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 wheel), 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
ofrubber j a better axle, and the finish 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.
