To Keep Windows From Froitlng.
The haberdnsher sighed, for hio
window, full of lovely neckties, was
quite opaque with frost.
"I'd give a lot," he said, "for
Eome method to keep my window
from frosting over in cold weather."
"I'll let you have the method you
want for nothing," said the patron.
"Coat the inside of your window
with glycerin, and it will keep as
clear in winter as in summer. I'm
a surveyor, and in my trade we al
ways use glycerin on our glass in
struments when it's cold."
A Cost! Clock.
An astronomical wedding gift,
Eays the Weltall, has been presented
to King Alfonso of Spain by the
republic of Peru. It is an artistic
table clock designed by the French
sculptor Camen Belleuse and ia
held by the muse of astronomy.
The zodiac, stars, figures, etc., are
made of lapis lazali, gold and pre
cious crystals. The clock received
the grand prix at the Paris exhibi
tion of 1900 and cost $1G,000.

out one day unarmed, when I sud

with three lions.

Hurrying Him.
A superintendent of tho Little
Wanderers' home attended a watch
night service and closed his testi
mony by taying, "It may be but n
month longer that I shall be here,
perhaps a week, or even before the
close of another day I shall be
gone." He had hardly seated him
self when a young man in the back
of the vestry started tho old song,
"Oh, why do" you wait, dear brother,
oh, why" do you tarry so long?"

Feat of a Greek Scholar.
It may safely be said that no feat
of translation in any age has ever
equaled that achieved by Professor
Jebb in rendering Browning's "Abt
Vogler" into Greek verse. This fine
soliloquy of the musician is less ob
scure, no doubt, than many other of
its author's productions, but it
abounds in imagery and in turns of
thought which even an Englishman
finds it not very easy to follow and
of whieh he could hardly have con
ceived it possible that any Greek
equivalents could exist. Yet they
did exist, for Jebb found them,
though it may be doubted whether
any other Greek scholar living
would have been equally successful
in his search. London Telegraph.
A Problem.
Two Irishmen were discussing po

political economy," said Casey, "so

is the distribution of wealth. That

to compil the rich to give back tho
money that they have stolen from

said Grady, "but there is wan other

Fop Township Trustee.
Mr. Reinhard Fink on request
of his old and new friends an
nounces himself as a candidate
for Bainbridge Township Trustee
He is a citizen of this township
and has been for the last thirty-
three years. He is a business
man as well as a farmer. In the
past he has been conducting bus
iness in various lines and has
naver failed. At present hes a
farmer and Dairyman and well
known by the citi ens of the
township.
Mr Fink fulfilled the duties
of the Trustee's Office for four
years, namely from 1901 190o.
He made a great numbtr of im
provements, building and re
modling several school houses
and also a great number of
bridges. He really was the Trus
tee that put the Township on a
firm and good financial footing,
not having a single cutanding
debt of any kind whatever when
his term expired. The x3ditoc
can give evidence of this himself

tion in the Courier dunng Mr.

the last two years of his admin
istration he tax levy was set
and the filial records and re
ports r a i;ned and approved
by Jäco'. liurger Jr. an expert
memter of the Advisory Board.
If there was any error in regard
to these, let him make it known
to the public.

The above includes compensation
for the discharge of all of his

He 's well qualified and exper

seeking and if elected will no
doubt make an efficien t officer.

wise selection in selecting him Jor

The Democratic Donkey.
Chas. G Singleton in the In
dianapolis News gives this story
as to the origin of the democratic
donkey: The use by opposition
cartoonists, m recent years of
the mule as a symbol of the dem
ocracy made me curious to dis
cover the origin of the idea
In looking through one of my
old scrap books recently I found
a speech that I believe gave the
inspiration The speech was de
livered by Lou B Cake (a demo
crat) of Clarinda, Page county,
Iowa, at a Republican jollification
in 1880, over the election of Gar
field. In the course of his speech
which was witty and wise, he
said: 'In some states the Green
back party fell through a crack
in the platform and crippled us-
But Democracy still lives. It is
like a mule it never dies. Bjt
unfortunately, like the mule,
while it lives it is forever throw
ing its riders. It buck d Greely
off and killed him in 18V i. Til
Hen stuck on until he passed un
der the wire. But there was so
much daylight between him and
his quadruped, the judges count
ed him off, although he had his
feet in the stirrups This year
we got a splendid send off, and
might have won, but the donkey
was stricken down in Indiana
with (g:) Landers. We close
the chapter of history with the
hope that the story will be con
tinued in our next. We accept
the defeat more cheerfully be
cause of the magnanimous man
ner in which you take the victory.
We take it every four years. It
is a standing prescription It
might be called the quadriennial
ipecac It works im before elec
tion, and down when the returns
come in. We thank you for the
mngnanimous manner in which
you have turned out to our fun
eral. We congratulate you on
the magnificent and imposing
character of the obsequies. "
