John Harman for Sheriff.
In this issue of the News ap
pears the formal announcement of
John W. Harman for the office of
Sheriff and Collector of Union
county subject to the acfion of the
Democratic primary next March.
Mr. Harman needs no introduct
ion at our hands as he is probably |
known to as many of the voters of
the county as any man living with
in its borders, having resided here
all his life.
He was elected sheriff and col
lector of Union county in 1910 and
held the office for two terms, giv
ing entire satisfaction and per
formed his duties conscientiously
and faithfully. The experience
gained during this time fits him
better than before to fulfil the du
ties of the office and he promises
to give the best there is in him if
elected.
He appreciates past favors at
the hands of his friends and will be
doubly grateful to them for their
support again at this time. Re
member his candidacy and excell
ent record when you go to cast
your vote for this important office.
Cool Nights.
The summer night's a total loss;
we go to bed and kick and toss, and
groan and shriek and pray; we
wallow on our beds and weep, in
vain we cannot get to sleep until
the break of day. And then the
milkman comes along and whangs
his large and strident gong, the er
rant newsboys scream, the grocer's
man is at the door, and all the
wheels of traffic roar, and spoil the
morning dream. But in the fall
how well we rest! When I’ve re
moved my si 02s and vest, and to
my couch go. I find mys°lf at once
asleep, enjoying rest profound and
deep, the kind that cniidren know
For seven hours or so 1 snooze, re
freshing weary gall and thews
from grief and care aloof; if you
would wake me in the nig^t, you'c
have to bring some dynamite, ano
blow me through the roof. And ii
the morn, at half past five, I wake
so g!ad that I'm alive, that 1 musd
sing and dance; 1 sing and whistle,
sound and dale, as 1 put on my
martingale, my shirtwaist and my
pants. Take all your portions,
dope and pills, and throw them in
the babbling rills: they are no use
to men; when one can sleep for
seven hours, the little nap restores
his powers, and makes him voung
again.—Walt Mason.

1 lie Lcniph of life.
There is material for sober re
flection in the statement of Dr.
Victor C. Vaughn, former president
of the American Medical associa
tion, to the effect that stitistics he
has studied lead him to believe
the number of men who reach tlv
| age around 40 years is increasin,
| rapidly, while the number who
' reach the age of 50 and 60 years
, is just as rapidly diminishing in
proportion to the whole number.
There is something in this con
dition which is not as it should be.
The iman who has successfully;
striven through the competitive
years to a period of leisure ought
to be from every viewpoint, the:
most valuible figure in the local
■ and general life of the'iaiton. It
; is disappointing if he is not surviv
! mg to fulfill this function and sta
tistics indicate he is not. Possibly
he burned too much fuel during his
days anc nights of struggle. El
derly men are said by the doctors
to be falling too rapidly beneath
, the burden of what are known as
the diseases of maturity.
This condi.ion added to the
further all egation -y Dr. Vaughn,
that the averag v gth of life in j
the United St has been in- ,
creased 10 y ars .nee 1880, is
| rapidly enlarging our comparatively
youthful [ opulation. This 10
years' increase in not the addition
of that much time to the ordinary
man's life, but is the saving of the
lives of children who. under former
conditions, would have died of pre
| ventable disease.
Such is the contribu'ion of sci
ence to one end of human life, but
: not enough is doing to postpone
; death at the other end. However,
: the average is increase of years. >
and there ought to be great satis
faction in this to mankind.
And the time to b^gin prepara
tion by those in the midst of life's
struggle, for living out the allotted
three score and ten. is right now.
Ward off the disease of maturity.
Then another Dr. Vaughn may be
able to say some time that the 10
years’ increase in the average
, length of life has been possibly
! doubled.
A Trbiite to Women.
No matter what one may think
of the philosophy of Robert G. In
gersoll, one must admit that he
stands out prominently as an
American who was a master in the
use of the English language. The
following is his oft-quoted tribute
to Women:
"It takes a hundred men to make
an encampment, but one woman
can make a home. 1 not only ad
mire woman as the most beautiful
object ever created, but 1 rever
ence her as the redeeming glory of
humanity, the pledge of all perfect
ed qualities of heart and head. It
is not just nor right to lay sins of
men at the feet of women. It is
because women are so much better
than men that their faults are con
sidered greater, A man’s desire is
the foundation of his love, but a
woman's desire is born of her love.
The one thing in this world that is
constant, the one peak that rises
above all clouds, the one window in
j which the light forever burns, the I
star that darkness cannot qu°nch,j
is woman's love. !t rises to t.he
greatest heights, it sinks to the
lowest depths. It forgives tha
nost cruel injarii is peren !
:iia 1 of life and grow-- n vervcli-'
mate. Neither coldn jss nor neg- |
lect. hashness nor cruelness can,
extinguish it. A woman's love is:
the perfumer of the heart. This
the real love that tubdu s the
earth: the love that has wrought
all miracles of art; that gives us]
music all the way from the cradle
song to the grand closing sympho
ny that bears the cloud away on
wings of hre. A love that is great
er than power, sweeter than life
and stronger thin death.”

IRISHMEN IRRESISTIBLE IN THE
COURT. Oi- CUPID.
Writer of Nation Proverbially Slow in
Expression of Affection Acknowl
edges Supc-icr.'ty of Green
Is'e Love-Msuing.
The Irishman is traditionally an
adept in coaxing and cursimr. No
tongue can equal his in varied and
picturesque denunciation of an en
emy; none can so irresistibly wheedle
a sweetheart.
True, the English of an earlier gen
eration, crude and tongue-tied lovers,
"ho never kissed tiie Blarney stone,
were v.ont to proclaim the Irishman j
as fickle as he was fascinating. But j
that ancient calumny scarcely sur
vives today; it is an Englishman, E. !
K. Oakley, who in a recent article on !
"Irish Courtships,” eulogizes appro- !
ciatingly the superiority of the Irish
peasant lover, with his play of wit
and fancy, in comparison with the
stolid stupidity of the English rustic i
wooer, or the cheap sophistication of j
the Cockney 'Arry and Arriet.
Even in the disconcerting moment j
of rejection the Tfishman retires with I
grace—sometimes with a grace that i
turns defeat to victory. Through a I
hawthorn hedge I had the eavesdrop- 1
per's guilty pleasure of overhearing j
an idyl in the lane or. the farther
side. Maureen had evidently said
"no” to Shaun.
“Wish, thin, if it must be it must,
and, if ye won’t, ye won’t,” he
mourned, "but oeh, Maureen aeushla,
why wasn't ye born twins, so that I
cud have had the half of ye?”
“And if it’s twins 1 was, ye cud
that,” conceded Maureen, sympathet
ically, "for niver wud the one of me
bo giving ye the go-by, except for Tim
Flaherty that’s coming back this
week with expectations, as well ye
ye, thin, it’s on’y the
ye arc!" sighed Shaun.
know.”
“Thrue for
half of twins
•*’Tvvas the will of hivin and ye'd
nothing to do wid the matther; but
Maureen asthore, 'tis yirsilf and not
hivin has the deciding which twin ye’ll
be. L'ave Timsy expict his expicta
tions fr m tother wan, and thin l'ave
yirsilf spake a word to me. wid the
sound titere d be in it if Timsy was
not of it intirely.”
“It wud still be no." protested Mau
reen, but not very strenuously.
“No l’ave it be. and as many more
noes of the same patIbern as ye can
lay yer swale tongue to,” agreed
Shaun, ’ for tis a man wid quare ears
on him wud be able to be sure they
were uot yes. I am not!"
His ingenuity and persistence had
their reward, and the eavesdropper
escaped during the ecstatic Hurry con
sequent upon Maureen's surrender.
1 could not regret the experience
hut 1 felt myself treated not quite fair
ly by a fate that confided s> much,
yet withheld the rest. 1 never learue ;
how complaisant or otherwise Shaun’s
rival proved in the matter of trans
ferring L-ta ' expictatioxs" to the non
existent twin. Poor Timsy!

Christmas Cheer
Will be more cheering and the spirit of “Peace on
Ea^th. Good Will to Men” will be more manifest to you if
you have a snug bank account to tide you over this season
of much giving.
We would not encourage anyone to be “stingy." and
would not think of asking you to deprive the young
folks of Christmas joys. Give them their little pleasures
now. but do not forget to provide for future Christmases.
Lay up something for the future, or the time may come
when you will lave to disappoint them. Sickness may
come or the loss of your job may hanpen at any time when
it would be a calamity indeed.
Think not only of their pleasure and comfort at
Chri-'tmas time, but for all the year round. Make sure that
they will get what they deserve at all times by saving a
part of everything you earn and banking it to rro 'ide f r
your own and your family's future needs. We will help
you save.
