Recorder—W. H. Moore.
Marshal—W. T. Terrell.
Aldermen— L. M, Despain. A. E. Lucas,

Sehon and C. R. Duncan.
Between grinning and groaning
choose the former.
Villa could make an honest liv
ing showing the fishes how to slip
through a net.
And queer it is how the bees of
opportunity buzz around the bon
nets of the busy man.
If all boys were as smart as their
parents say they are. what a won
derful country we would have.
Women have one great advant
age over men in their persona) ap
pearance. They can build them
selves either up or down to make
themselves fit their clothes.
Lincoln did not wait for oppor
tunity to fall asleep on his doorstep
V/hen it knocked, he promptly an
swered the call, seized it around
the neck and dragged it in.
That Theodore Roosevelt told
what everybody will acknowledge
to be the truth, was when he said
on Nov. 8 that he would not ac
cept a cabinet appointment under
Mr. Hughes..
The vote on all the acts and
a lendments at the recent election
show that the people are taking a
greater interest in the initiativ®
and referendum than ever before.
This is a good law if the people
will study the matters to be voted
on but a bad one if they do not.
Under the new primary law
passed at the recent election there
will be two polling places in Huttig
hjreafter instead of one as Act No.
1 provides that no polling place
snail poll over 100 votes. The
id3a is to get it down so the judges
can finish counting without remain
ing up all night.
The difference between Durana
Whipple, Arkansas’ good looking
and popular Republican, and
Charles E. Hughes, late candidate
for the presidency of the same
fa'th, is that Whipple knew that he
could not be elected associate jus
tice. but Hughes still thinks he has
been elected president.
It may not have gone j"st the
way you wanted it to, but you'll
have to live under it just the same.
The majority rules in this well
known country and, thanks to the
public mind, there are very few of
us who are made anarchists by a
national or state election.
Many of the men who oppose
woman suffrage on the ground that
women know so little about polit'cs
and wouldn’t know how to mark a
ballot should examine some of the
ballots cast in Union county this
year. They mig^t' change their
minds. If the average uneducated
woman can’t do a better job with
a ballot than the average unedu
cated man we’ll attempt the' im
possible task set for himself by one
of Dickens' characters, and eat our
head.

SOME SMILES
Worth Fighting For.
“What arguments can you advance
In favor of preparedness?’1 asked the
exponent of peace at any price.
“For one thing," answered the citi
zen addressed, "I like to stand on a
street corner and criticize the gov
\ eminent.”
“What has that to do with the need
i of preparedness?"
"A great deal. If this country were
caught off its guard and conquered by
a foreign power, that would be one of
the first of my privileges to be abro
gated."
Keen Eajoyment.
“Mr. Grabcoin
seems proud of
the fact that he
indulges in no

whatever.”

“He gets more
pleasure out of

“Do you mean to say that I am a
liar?” usked an angry man excitedly
during a heated argument.
“On the contrary, my dear sir,” calm
ly rejoined Ills adversary. “I have
| often remarked that you are the only
man of my acquaintance who always

man who will swear that he believes

I’d like to be a boy again, a care-free
prince of joy again.
I’d like to tread the hills and dales
the way I used to do;
I’d like the tattered shirt again, the
knickers thick with dirt again,
“The ugly, dusty feet again that long
ago I knew.
I’d like to play first base again, and
Sliver’s curves to face again.
I’d like to clirub, the way I did, a
friendly apple tree, I
For, knowing what I do today, could
I but wander back and play
I’d get full measure of the joy that
boyhood guve to me.
I’d like to be a lad again, a young|
ster, wild and glad again,
I’d like to sleep and eat again the |
way I used to do;
I’d like to race and run again and ]
drain from life its fun again j
And start another round of Joy the
moment one was through.
But care and strife have come to me, j
and often days are glum to me.
And sleep is not the thing it was j
and food Is not the same;
And I have sighed and know that 1
must journey on again to sigh.
And I have stood at envy’s point
and heard the voice of shame.
I’ve learned that joys are (lectins
things; the parting pain each
meeting brings;
That gain and loss are partners
here, and so are smiles and
tears;
That only boys from day to day can
drain and fill the cup of play, j
That age must mourn for what is
lost throughout the coming
years.
But boys cannot appreciate their price
less joy until too late
And those who own the charms 1
had will soon be changed to
men;
And then they, too, will sit, as I, and
backward turn to look and sigh
And share my longing, vain, to be
a care-free boy again.—Edgar A.
Guest in Detroit Free Press.
Russia Growing Democratic
As Result of War’s Demands
Samuel Uarper, professor of Euro
pean history and Russian institutions
at the University of Chicago and who
has just returned to the United States
after a four months’ visit to Russia,
says that Russian institutions were be
coming more democratic since the war
because the bureaus were unable to
handle th* vast supplies of provisions,
clothing and supplies of all kinds for
the armies in the field and had been
obliged to call in the aid of the pro
vincial councils, the zemstzovs, which
are gro-.ing in power every day.
“The Russian government,” he said,
“is In favor of American capital being
used to build factories there, but part
of the control must be in Russian
hands. This is to avoid a repetition
of the treatment accorded to the native
working people by the German manu
facturers before the war. The Ger
mans refused to employ anyone who
did not speak German.
Safety First.
A portly, middle-aged woman was
watching some circus artists who were
performing durlngly upon a rapidly'
swinging trapeze. A large net de
signed to prevent Injury If the act
should miscarry was suspended over
the stage beneath them, and this
seemed to share her interest with the
acrobats. After they hud been at
work for several minutes, she called
an usher, says the Lustige Blatter,
and asked:
“Is it true that no harm would be
done If they should fall from the
trapeze?”
“Yes, madam; that’s why the net Is
spread under them.”
“Where can I buy such a net?"
“Surely, my dear madam, you don’t
want to perform on a trapeze,” said
the usher, astonished at this question.
"It isn’t for me. I have a nephew
In the aviation service and I would
like to send him such a net to hang
under his machine. It would save him
If any accident should happeo.”
Practical Information.
“Say, paw,” queried the little son
of a railway conductor, “what’s an
exchequer?”
“An ex-checker, my son,” replied the
ticket puncher, “Is a retired baggage
man.”
Frenzied Finance.
Omar—Philadelphia must be a good
place in which to muke money.
Heiny—Why do you think so?
Omar—Otherwise the government
wouldn’t huve a mint located there.
Legend of Japan.
Some Japanese swords have, as do |
some famous jewels, their own imli- j
vlduul names. One sw/jrd of great re
pute was called “Little Crow.” Le
gends and superstitions are connected
with such historic blades or their
makers. One of these makers was
called the “One-handed Smith.” The
story goes that while in his appren
ticeship to an older artisan he came
to learn everything his superior knew,
except the exact temperature of the
water used in^empering. Finally, able
to endure this no longer, he stole to
the forge one day when the master
was working alone and preparing to
temper a finished work of high <j unlit;.'.
Hushing in, the younger man thrust
his hand into the water, only to have
It cut off by the irate employer.
