THE STATE TREABUREMHIP
Republican Nominee Ae Viewed By An
Editor From Hie Home County.
In commenting upon the ronteet for
state treasurer, the editor of the HollV
dayshurg ReKUter says:
"Hod J. Lee Plumiuer, the Republi
can caottldate for state treasurer, haa
i the ability to All that office with
' credit. This fact cannot be success
fully contradicted; besides, he la
known by the people with whom h«
has lived all his life to be perfectly
honest and reliable and a man of th«
strictest integrity. While not a Pro
hibitionist. he Is a man of the strictest
temperance bablts. These are facta
which cannot be controverted. He was
regularly nominated In a Republican
state convention, composed of dele
gates who were chosen by the Republl*
cans of tb* various counties of the
•tate.
"There was every opportunity fyr
any uaan in the state to contest the
nomination with him. He was nomi
nated fairly as the candidate of hit
party. Now. what Republican can hare
a valid excuse to vote against him t
Is It better that the Republicans as*
slst a Democrat into one of the best
offices of the state, or vote 'or their
candidate, who is in every way worthy?
The opposition is trying hard to rata*
a respectable fight ayalnat him, bet
tbo only possible show they will h»>«
will be through the votes of Republi
cans Why should we aid them In
their work?"
.
A Word to State Republicans.
"The Republican party is not re
sponsible for the misuse that haa been
made of it in Philadelphia," says the '
editor of the Juniata H*rald. "The
truth is that it deserves credit for cor- j
recting tbe wrongs that have bee* com
mitted by some of tts faithless mem
bers. The corruption that haa existed j
in Phllajdniphia is wholly of a local i
character and the party in the state has I
no connection with or relation to It. 1
Why should the party elsewhere suffer j
on account of ft?- Why should state i
candidates be defeated becanse of what
has occurred in a single city? If tbe
Bins of a few were to be visited upon
the party when could It ever be suc
cessful? The Republican ticket Is oom
posed of honest men. Was fairly noml- j
nated and is entitled to the support of |
every member of the party. Be aure i
to vote for it."

OWL COURTSHIPS
Show a Devotion R*rely Met Among
More Favored Creatures.
Very funny it is, from the human j
point of view, to witness the love-mak-,
Ing of a couple of owls on a moonlight
night, as tbey sit togather 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 j
much bigger and stronger than her;
mate looks the picture of demure coy
ness, if a little excited Inwardly, like
a girl ait her first ball.
But the male owl, says the Pall Mall
Magazine, is very much In earnest; for
a moment or two hs remains quite
still, then he pufTs out all his feathers,
bows, and utters a softened scream,
followed by & modified hiss that is full
of tender meaning, and then he nudges
her with his wing; she opens her big
*yes 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 whth a murmur of satis
faction that speaks volumes of love
and thanks. Then, when the dainty
morsel has beeu disposed of, tbey ca
ress each other tenderly for a moment
or two, and then sit closely pressed to
each other's side 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 *he owls guard each
other with a devotion thmt is rarely met
with among more favored creatures,
they positively Idolize their ill-favored
offspring, for whose sake 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
it clean, must be seen to be believed.

imps, who wer>' generally struck spell-!
bound at the sight of the white men. '
Mr. I.loyd, writing in Chambers's
•Journal, says he was twenty days'
walking through the great forest In
habited by the pigmies, a forets so
dark that in many places It was Im
possible to read, even at noonday.
The pigmies were fairly intelligent,
and peacefully disposed, although their
arrows were tipped with deadly poi

children, when sjtoken to. The forest i
was alive with elephants, leopards, j
wild pigs, buffaloes, and antelopes. I
After leaving the forest Mr. 1.10.vd I
came to one place where he took the j
opportunity of screwing together the i
bicycle which he had brought with j
him. A spin on the machine brought ;
out thousands of men, women, and I
children from their villages, and they j

If 1 came to Amesbury I should be
scandalized by one of his carpets. It
appeared that he was never permitted
by the guardian goddess of his hearth
togo 'shopping' for himself, but that
once, beinjf In Boston, and needing a
carpet, he bad ventured togo to a store
and buy what he had thought to be a
very nice, quiet article, precisely suited
to adorn a Quaker home. When It ar
rived at Amesbury there was a univer
sal shout of horror, for what had
struck Mr. Whittier as a particularly
soft combination of browns and grays
proved, to normal eyes, to be a loud
pattern of bright red roses on a field
of the crudest cabbage green. When
he had told me this, it was then easy
to observe that the fulness and bril
liancy of his wonderful eyes had some
thing which was not entirely normal
about them."

The rtverend uncle listened with
twinkling eyes and there was a speedy
adjournment to a well-spread table.

Mr. F. L. Shaw, manager lllljiJL/JLi JT iIV JL O
of our vehicle interests, bought
two buggies from the same house the other day. One coat £i£.oo more than the other. Then he took the buggies/*
all 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, excypt
that the higher priced one had 14-02. cloth trimmings instead of Keratol, found in the cheaper ; a leather boot, instead
of rubber ; a better axle, and the finish on the woodwork was slightly better, but not very much. >
