STATE TREASURER, Jeremiah A. Stober, of Lancaster. JURY COMMISSIONER, W. H. Bullock. It is all right to be selfish with your troubles. Don't carry your Christian Sci ence so far that you Imagine your troubles. In these physical culture days some people display great ability In dodging taxes. If there were no loafers In this old world, the police courts wouldn't have much to do. When it comes to teaching orthog raphy, the old-style spelling match is a pronounced success. People who are always harping on their troubles dor.'t dispense a very high grade of music. Peary is more anxious to prove Dr. Cook a liar than he is to prove iis own discovery of the North Pole. Each step taken for mother adds to the time she will be with you to enjoy your deeds of love and to cheer you with your smile. There are many different terms for chauffeur. Some of them will readly come to mind about the time you get bumped by a machine. The wasp waist is the latest in feminine wearing apparel and the boys will have to be careful where they put their arms after this. Radium has been put on the free list and the bottom has fallen out of the market. The frugal and economic housewife can now pur chase this household necessity at ?2,000,000 an ounce. Col. L. A. Watres, of Scranton, Is talked of as a candidate for Gov ernor. If Northeastern Pennsylva nia is to supply the man the Colonel can 1111 the bill alright. Down east where there are some who spend 525,000 on a supper for a dog, whle others can't get what a dog would ordinarily be satisfied with, is a good breeding place for Socialism. The former prime minister of China has been sent the yellow cord which is a polite way the Chinese have of telling him to go off and Oslerize himself. Bryan has butted into the North Pole controversy by claiming that both Peary and Cook are Demo crats, reasoning that as Democrats having been so long out in the cold, they can do their best work there. How seldom people think to be stow praise upon those with whom they nre in daily contact. Your employes, your associates, your chil dren and your wife would find their loads lightened by a word of com mendation now and then. COOK VERSUS PEARY. The controversy between the two self-announced discoverers of the North Pole, has become very bitter, and Is bringing out the human make up of these candidates for the crown of fame. Dr. Cook so far has shown better taste than Peary by being willing to submit his claims to the highest court of au thority on this question of nrtlc ex ploration while Peary has very ar rogantly made assertions which would lead the public to believe that the North Pole had been established by the Maker of the Universe for the express purpose of having him discover It, and that Dr. Cook con Bequently could not have got there ahead of him, and if by accident he had the fact should be blotted out, Any girl with ruby lips and gold en hair ought to be a treasure worth striving for. A man named Clover has just been married and soon there will be several blades of grass where there was formerly but one. Next fall Mars will come within 251,000,000 miles of tlie earth. Prepare to gossip over the back fence with your neighbors in that planet. OUR NEW JUDGE A. T. SEME Alonzo T.
