However, we will make the that it will b. best not to In addition to the debate, back their were Messrs. and run the risk of any of them crowded out in the final rush, as not a vote will be re- after the last stroke of o'clock on the 24th.

So it is seen that Pitt went considerably ahead of Wilson and In fact Pitt is the largest bright tobacco producing in the Slate, or in the world.

Vaughn, who, a time, succeeded in winning the confidence of his employer to such an extent that the clerk was taken to the merchant's home and made a welcome visitor. Mr. Bliss had a young sister, with whom Mr. Vaughn immediately fell in love, and as his application for the of brother-in-law was of much more consequence than his former one for clerkship his past record was carefully searched, and it was found that he had met with a dis- failure in business some previous consequently was a bankrupt, with many and unpaid debts. He was told that he could never be accepted as a suitor for the young lady's hand until everything he owed had been paid in full. He seemed aged at this decision and expressed the opinion that the task was possible, hut in a short time he re- turned to his ladylove's family with the happy intelligence that he had fallen heir to a large property and could more than liquidate all his debts. He showed a number of banknotes in proof of his assertion and actually gave Miss Bliss five new twenty pound notes. About this time the authorities at the Bunk of England were much troubled by the appearance of a few forged notes. With little detectives traced them to Richard Vaughn. He admitted his guilt. It was attempted at his trial to prove ho had not meant to pet them in circulation, but only to win u wife with them. This defense, however, was useless, as he had passed them, lie was guilty of the crime of forgery, which in those days was a capital offense, and he paid the penalty of his mis deeds on the scaffold. History does not state what became of the girl was the innocent temptation. Vaughn has the doubtful honor of having led the way in banknote forgery. At that time an imitation was a much easier matter than it is at present, the note itself being only partly engraved, the amount, the name of the payee and the nature of the cashier being supplied in writing.

There is a kind of electricity that puzzles scientists, which may he termed natural electricity, but it has nothing to do with either light- or the well known cat's fur variety. One set of observations was made on the human eye with its optic nerve and the following results It was found that when one end of a wire was placed on the front part of the eye and the other end on the optic nerve a current of electricity passed from one to the other; also that the size of this cur- rent varied with the amount of light that entered the eye and fell, on the retina. Notice that this is a current of electricity, and not the static kind, as is hat of the light- and the rubbed fur. This same result was obtained when end was on a freshly cut end of any nerve and the other end on the outside of the nerve. Facts like these have caused many scientists to regard the body as a complicated producer of the nerves, like the ed wires to and from our galvanic batteries, serving to conduct the electricity to and from the great central nervous the brain. Several years Dr. Siemens, in a lecture given before the society, tried to imitate eye in this Crystalline is u better conductor of under the influence of light titan it is in the dark. Its likewise varies for the differ cut kinds of blue, green, etc. In artificial eye, therefore, the retina was represent- ed by a thin plate of selenium, and the source of electricity was an or- battery. opening the eyelids of this artificial eye and admitting light from a white Illuminated screen a strong deflection of the needle was observed. A black screen gave hardly any deflection, n blue one a greater and u red a much greater, but still short of that produced the reflected white light. The was thus to light color, and an scientist would not scruple to look upon galvanometer as a kind of brain, the wires and battery as the nerves and body of an organism entirely under his control. While it is seen that all living can come under this head as actual producers of electricity, there are two animals that can pro- duce enough electricity at will to do considerable torpedo and the electric eel. One other kind of electricity that is s riddle so far is that which is produced directly from heat and called thermal electricity. If any two dissimilar metals are joined at both ends and one junction heated, a current will pass. If the same junction is cooled, a current will pass in the opposite direction. One of the greatest problems of modern physics is to get a practical way to accomplish this great quantities so it may be applied to engineering. New York Tribune. The Pessimist.

The opinion of the attorney general to Treasurer Lacy is as Dear to yours of this date relative to stock brokers I beg to It pears that certain banks in the the State are dealing in stock and bonds. Such banks are, in my opinion, liable for the stock license or by S, ct ion of the Revenue Act of 1909. It is immaterial that the charters of the banks authorized them to act as stock brokers. The banking business proper does not include the buying selling of stocks and bonds, and while it is perfectly proper for the State to authorize a bank to engage in business of this kind, when it does it must pay the same license as is imposed upon Observer. has come upon them and express the devout hope Supreme Comforter will be present to sen the sorrowing husband and children.

It pierces the clouds of human darkness, and rolls them back from the face of the weary soul, But many children do not know what Christmas is. vague conception of meaning to the Christian world. They do not know the real importance of observing Christmas. AH they know is that they always look forward to Christmas as a day of enjoyment. They do not know that the word Christmas has a meaning more to the Christian world than any other word that has ever been spoken by human tongue. The origin of Christmas we do not know exactly, but we do know that it celebrates the birth of Christ. It is not known with certainty when the festival, or what we call Christmas, was first observed. Clement of Alexandria of it in the beginning of the third century; and again in the fourth century it was spoken of by Chrysostom as an event of great antiquity. The church in the fourth century fixed the twenty fifth of December as the date for this festival though at that time no certain knowledge of the date of the birth of Christ existed. Many believe that the heathen festivals, celebrated on that day, weighed heavily in accepting this date. Some churches, and especially the Western church in the fourth century, believed that the right date was the sixth of January. That it could not have been on the 25th of December for at that time the rainy Judea begin and the shepherds could not have been watching their flocks. the exact date of the birth of Christ is not known, all now celebrate O December. But the observance of Christ- mas, or the birth of Christ, meant Brest deal lo U meant the dawn of lip The very spirit of it meant love as opposed to selfishness, injustice, a pistol bullet into his brain. shooting occurred about five o'clock, u few minutes good cheer and not about preparing breakfast.
