I. CLINTON KLINE I; THE PEOPLES CANDI- 1 BUTE FOR CONGRESS M m. m fcu &L 0M Mm By From Sunbury Daily Item That I. Clinton Kline, attorney at-law, is tlie people's candidate for Congress there is no <lonl>t. Their faith was evinced by the ma jority they gave him at the nomi nating primaries. This majority was 1015, and was a l>ig compli ment. Sunlmry, his home town, gave him to 103 for his opponent. Mr. Kline was born at Mt. Pleas ant, Upper Augusta township, Northumberland county, and is a son of Herman G., and Mary B. Kline. His father was a school teacher and farmer, who died in his eighty-fourth year, honored and respected. His mother is in her ninety-second year and is in good health. She was a daughter of Luther Bassett, deceased, and was born in Rush township, Northum- herland county. Every bod}' knows the Kline family and all speak well of its members. Tlicy are descended from Herman Kline, who immigrated from his home country to America in the early part of the eighteenth century, and settled in New Jersey. In 1799 three of his sons came to Pennsylvania, two of them settling in the Fishing ('reek valley, in Columbia county, and the other at the present site of Klinesgrove, Northumberland county, which bears his name to this day. I. Clinton Kline, the People's candidate for Congress, spent his early years on ltis father's farm and learned to do all kinds of farm work. At the age of thirteen years he went to Catawissa, Columbia county, where he lived a. year with his eldest brother, Dr. L. P. Kline, who is one of the most prominent medical practitioners in Central Pennsylvania. During his stay there heattendsd the public schools. Returning to the farm he re mained until he was seventeen years of age, when he entered Bloomsburg Normal School, re maining one year. During the next live years he taught in the public schools, spending several short terms at preparatory schools. The last year as a teacher he was prin cipal of the First Ward Schools of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He could have continued as a teacher in the schools of that big city, but decid ed that it would be to his advan tage to enter college. Accordingly he declined the position. Following his resolve not to again teach school, he entered Lafayette College, where he was afterward graduated, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and later, th? degree of Master jl' Arts. This college course was not completed in direct succession as most college courses are. The reason is that Mr. Kline was taken seriously ill, and it was a long time before he could resume his studies. In 1893 ho was admitted to the bar of Northumberland county, having been a student of the Hon. J. B. Packer, now deceased. Every body knows that Mr. Packer was a great lawyer, and to win a place at the bar under his training was a mark of merit. Since his admis sion Mr. Kline has continuously practiced law in Sunbury, and has been admitted to practice in the Superior and Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania. His standing as a lawyer is very high. He is thorough in preparing his cases and always puts his best effort, in behalf of his client, into anything that he undertakes. His fellow-lawyers speak of him as a well-trained,brilliant and able man, and one of the really good attorneys practicing at the bar. When he takes a case it is known that it will be handled in a manner that shows ability and thoroughness. A brilliant and polished orator, his services have always been in demand as a public speaker. He has answered many calls to speak memorial day, fourth of July and other occasions. He has also de livered many educational addresses, among them being commencement I addresses at Central Pennsylvania College, Susquehanna University I and Lafayette College. In his home town of Hunbury, Mr. Kline is held in the highest esteem as a citizen, a lawyer and a man. His fellow citizens, who know him best, are proud to call him their friend. His word is as good as his bond and the pe pie know it. I- Clinton Kline is that kind of a man which any town would !»• proud to have as a resi dent. lie is the peoples' candidate.

He tried to take no notice of the man. but aftei watching him pick a bone In an ex tremely primitive fashion, he could not control his feelings any longer, and turning to the offender, he said: "Don't you really think you would be more comfortable if you took that bone out on the mat?" —Youth's Com panion.

Queues arid Hair Supply. Consul General Anderson, stationed ftt Hongkong, has recently taken pains to correct the widespread Impression that the growing tendency on the part of Chinamen to dispense with their queues will have the effect of making false hair cheap. It appears that the queues when cut are never sold, but are always preserved for burial with the owner. Mr. Anderson says that this Is an absolute rule throughout South China, »h well as in all other parts of the country from which he has been able to secure Information on the subject. New Violins and Old. A contest took place in Paris which : seems to vindicate the contention that modern violins are as good in tone as those of ancient make. A number of violins were played in a dark room, and at the end a vote was taken from the musical audience present, with the result, says a Paris correspondent, that the finest violin was judged to be a Belgian instru ment dated 1912; the second was a French 1911 violin, and not until the third came a Stradivarius, valued at more than £3,000. The Heathen in His Blindness. An Indian went hunting one day for deer. After tramping through the woods for some hours ho came across a herd and managed to kill one. He shouldered it and started for market, which was some five miles away. Now of course, the longer he walked the heavier the deer got. and by the time he reached the deer market he was about all in. He hung the deer on the scales and stood looking at it with wonder. Finally he said to the man: "Ugh! Let him hang a while." Germany's Fastest Trains.
