President Judge Lynch.
From the Wilkesbarre Record.
It seems to be the settled purpose of
the Republicans not to oppose the re
election of President Judge Lynch,
whose first term on the bench expires
with the present year. As he is now
the only representative of the Demo
cratic party on our bench of four
common picas judges, there would bo
no propriety in the Republicans oppos
ing him, if his own party shall see fit
to nominate him. as presumably it will.
The Record has always favored the re
tention of aide, impartial and honest
judgos, regardless of their politics, and
this correct rule can be consistently ad
hered to in the case of President Judge
Lynch, who has demonstrated that he
possess the qualities as well as the
qualifications that constitute the de
sirable judge.
During tho more than nine years he
lias been on the bench ho has at all
times been fair, impartial, honest and
courageous in the performance of every
duty that devolved upon him. His
sound judgment, admirable judicial
temper and fine knowledge wf law,
coupled with his absolute fearlessness
in the administration of justice, coin
mend Judge Lynch to tho hearty sup
port of right-minded citizens regardless
of politics. Wo believe in a rightly
constituted non-partisan judiciary.
Judge Lynch was elected as a Demo
crat, but he has not carried his politics
with him on the bench, and conse
quently ho has been a non-partisan
judge, and Republicans as well as
Democrats can consistently give him
their support for re-election.
Republicans can all tho more readily
and cheerfully support Judge Lynch In
view of tho fact that they already have
three of the four common pleas judges,
and with the election of Judge Wlieaton
will continue' that supremacy for not
less than eight years. There is more or
less loose talk about convening the
Republican county committee to nomi
nate a second candidate for additional
law judge.
If any such project lias been or is
being seriously considered it is hoped it
will bo abandoned forthwith. There
would be neither good sense nor good
politics in the Republicans endeavoring
to secure all the judges.* It is not de
sirable from any proper standpoint that
the entire bench <f foir common pleas
judges should belong to a single political
party. Judge Lynch should be re-elect
ed without Republican opposition, if the
Democrats nominate him, as they prob
ably will. _

NEW SHORT STORIES
Slippers Knitted by Mrs. MeKlnley.
A visitor at the White Ilouse found
the wife of the president busy as usual
knitting the woolen tops to slipper
soles. A pleasant protest that the first
lady of the land should so steadily em
ploy herself was well answered. Why
shouldn't she knit the slippers? It Was
about nil that she could do in her state
of health. Perhaps the good accom
plished was more than the caller ap
preciated. And then the gentle lady
told with undisguised satisfaction of
the sale of a pair of her slippers at a
New England fair for a good purpose.
The slippers had brought $330, which
had gone for the benelit of the cause.
If there existed a desire for the posses
sion of a pair of slippers knitted by
the wife of the president measured by
such a sum, why should she not try
to meet it and thereby extend help to
worthy objects. Mrs. MeKlnley de
fended her vocation admirably.
Relating to the leather soles of these
slippers, there Is a story which en
hances their value. Mrs. MeKlnley tohl
It recently. On one occasion, early in
the lirst term, Vice President Ilobart
came into the presence of the lady
while she had her knitting in hand. He
picked up from a table near by a sole
upon which work had not been begun.
"Where do you get these?" ho asked
when ho had learned of the charitable
purpose of the Industry.
Mrs. MeKlnley replied that she
bought the soles by the dozen.
"Well," said the vice president,
"these tire made at my factory. I will
see that hereafter you ore supplied
with the soles for the slipjuTs without
cost Tliut shall he my contribution
to the good work."
From tlmt day, so long ns he lived.
Vice President Ilobart saw that the
stock of soles, as often as it ran low
through Mrs. McKlnley's Industry, was
replenished, and after the death of the
vice president Mrs. Ilobart continued
the contribution from the factory.
Town Lota ant) Farina.
During fflie boom days in a small
town in southern California, when
town lots were staked out all over the
country, a Mr. Rrown offered to sell a
Mr. Jones some of his town lots. Mr.
Jones was not ready to buy, but of
fered In exchange some of his farm
land, asking Mr. Brown to show him
the lots. They stepped into a buggy
"TIIAT IS BETWEEN HERE AND THE TOWN."
and after quite a drive came to
Brown's lots, some distance from the
main part of the town. Mr. Jones
thought they were nice level lots, and,
encouraged thereby, Brown asked him,
"Now, where is your farm land situat
ed?" "My land?" repeated Jones.
"Oh, that is between here and the
town!" Naturally the trade did not go
through.
Turned Off the CJnn.
Here is a story of the late Paul
Rniney, the coke magnate, and his
friend, the late Charles Latimer, emi
nent engineer. Mr. Latimer was a
firm believer In the peculiar virtues of
the divining rod. He used it with sin
gular success. He wrote a pamphlet
about It. He was widely known as a
supporter of the claims that were
made for it. Consequently when his
friend Itainey went ahead and bored
for natural gas without consulting Mr.
Latimer and his divining rod the engi
neer felt hurt and a little provoked.
"Why, man," be said, "here you've
gone ahead and let blind chance guide
you, while I would have located the
sure thing if you had only sent me
word."
"But I struck it," protested Mr.
Itainey.
"Struck what?" cried Mr. Latimer.
"Struck a pocket, that's what you've
struck. You'll see. It can't last, I tell
you. You've made one of the biggest
mistakes of your life."
And thereafter every time Mr. Lati
mer met Mr. Raiuey he berated him
for scorning the divining rod and
warned him that his gas supply would
soon le exhausted.
Mr. Raiuey began to expect tills at-'
tack every time Mr. Latimer came in
sight, and lie prepared himself to coun
teract It by saying, "But the gas still
flows, Charley." And the divining
rod's backer would walk away, shak
ing Ids head in a foreboding manner.
And then one day Mr. Latimer died
very suddenly.
"It was only a week or two before,"
said Mr. Raiuey in telling the story,
"that Charley met me and told me for
the fortieth time, more or less, that
my well was no good, and, by Jove,
the very clay he died the flow suddenly
stopped! Yes, sir, stopped right short
on the (lay that Charley died! Con
found It If I don't believe that he wont
straight down and turned It off! Yes,
sir, turned it off!"— Cleveland Plain

With wlinl comfort find delight slie seen her little one drop
off into u deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little
clogged bowels are cleared of tlieir poisonous burden by n single
dose of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy.
Laxakola is a pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable
tonic properties which not only act uj*m the bowels, but tone up the entire system and
purify the blood. A few drops can In; given with safety to very young babies, which
will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief ft ex
perienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied
with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries L
out thecauseof the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, [|r !
assist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any ***
infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable.

I A woman recently advertised her
; sendees for "cheering the nervous and
lonesome." There art? few employ
j inonts, new or old, to which women do
not aspire, and this is clearly the latest
idea in the development of evolutionary
| womanhood. Moreover, it is perhaps
not so absurd as it looks. There are
! times when we all want cheering up,
when It is a great relief for some one
| with a fund of high spirits to come in
and entertain us with amusing anec
dotes and reminiscences. But we are
not all privileged to have a friend who
is bright and cheerful and able to visit
j us when we are worried and depressed
or perchance recovering from a tedious
illness. Therefore tliis woman comes
forward, as she would no doubt soy, to
"till a long felt want"—that of the pro
fessional conversationalist, who will
' entertain lis when desired at so much
per hour.
A Snmmer Dining Room.
The idea that a dining room should
be treated In a somewhat heavy and
subdued style dies bard. Thus it is that
a white and yellow dining room is still
something of a novelty. When its wlu
| (lows give on a green and shady pros
pect, the effect of the yellow dining
room is really quite enchanting. An
apartment of this description in a cot
tage on Long Island has the walls pan
eled to within seven inches of the tops
of the doors, and all flic woodwork is
painted ivory white. Above the panel
ing is a stenciled frieze in shades of
| daffodil, orange and chestnut.
The rug is in shades of brown and
I dull, soft blues. The tiled lireplaee is
! in yellowish brown. The chair seats
i are of chestnut brown leather. The
window hangings are of daffodil yellow
i and white.

Now that "foreheads arc in," to quote
the famous phrase of the hairdresser,
the forward tilt of the hat Is iiuporn-
I tive. Placed straight or on the back of
the head, it gives a bare, bleak aspect
I to the brow which is by no means be-
I coming. Of course all fashionable wo
j men have discarded a fringe, except
j such slight tendrils of hair as serve to
I soften the outline of the temples. The
I fringe, indeed, which had become com
j moil to all ranks and which was often
' to be seen touzled, ill combed and
! worse brushed, an unbecoming mat,
I had sunk very low and was doomed to
| extinction, but It must be remembered
that a different style of hairdressing
demands n different shape and poise of
hat.
A Woman Landscape Gardener.
| Mrs. Annette Mct'rca lias been en
gaged as landscape gardener by*the
Rock Island (Ills.) Railroad company.
She has commenced her work by boau
j til'ylng the grounds about the stations.
| This is not the first time Mrs. Mct'rca
t has been engaged by the company for
! such work, and the Northwestern rall
j road has likewise given her contracts.
! That.she has been successful is proved
j by the fact that she has been engaged
| to use her artistic powers in the neigli-
I borhood of other stations. For some
! time Mrs. McCren bad charge of Lin
coln park, Chicago, and made her infill
, cnce felt in the artistic arrangement of
| shrubbery.
Friends Worth Having,
Miss Eliza Allen Starr of Chicago Is
I fortunate <in her friends. Miss Starr is
ian art teacher and lecturer and for
many months had been too ill to work.
No work meant no income, and grad
ually her savings were spent for the
many things an invalid requires. Then
her friends appointed a treasurer and
began subscribing money for an Eas
ter offering to the invalid. In one
month they raised $2,325.
