May 7.11*02.] Euitok News ani> Hkrald.—Tue officer of railroad commissioner is one of great responsibility, and it is highly important that it be filled with the right man. A railroad com- miseiooer should be possessed of a broad and liberal mind, trained in business grooves, whetted and shar pened by friction with every day bus iness transactions. He should be a man of sufficient moral courage to enforce bis views in the interest of public safety as well as public wel fare. and at the same time not ignore the just interests of railroad corpora tions. He should have had a meas ure of success in the conduct of his own business before entering on the heavy duties connected with this of fice. A man who meets all these re quirements is is Hor. Jno. G. Well ing, whose candidacy for railrord commissioner we most heartily en dorse. Mr. Wollicg is now in the prime of life. He is one of ihe coun ty’s largest and most successful farm ers. He is a public-spirited man as is shown by his great interest in the school of his community, the session of which ha* often been extended by his contributions. He is deservedly popular in bis own community, hav- irg received 149 out of 150 votes cast at his home box in 1900 He is aiso very popular in the county, having twice headed the ticket for the house of representatives. Then, too, Mr. VVolliog bas had seven years experi ence in practical railroading, having been a machinist by trade, serving in the capacity of a locomotive engineer. In asking yon to support him. we feel sure that wherever he may be be will be found to be a man of the high est type of Christian character, whose reputation is unsullied, whose ability is unquestioned and whose peculiar fitness for the office he seeks is rec.* ognized by many many citizens of Faiheield County. DOCTORS say “Consumption can be cured.*' Nature alone won’t do It. It needs help. Doctors say “Scott’s Emulsion is the best help.” But you must continue Its use even in hot weather.

This nrsehievous dweller of the pool is kn m n to the email boy and the rustic angler tinder many names—in one place as a sucker, in another a bullhead, in a third a wolf fish and. most outrageous of all. in northern Mississippi as a shad. But its own only genuine title is catfish. The name is derived from the fact that when the creature is raised from the water it emits a grunting protest which poetical fishermen have pronounced like the purring of a family eat. Philadelphia produced the catfish habit. For two centuries the animal was looked at as something which might be eaten to prevent starvation until one fine day a thrifty Quaker found that the catfish would eat boiled eornmeal and that this simple food not only fattened the eater, but changed the color of its belly from white to yellow. I!e perceived the pecuniary value of the discovery and established n catfish farm in which be fattened the fishes which he caught elsewhere and in due season sold them to the Phila delphia markets. A Quakeress scon after that discov ered that the old fashioned waffle, slightly salted and covered with melt ed butter, made an irresistible accesso ry to the lish when well fried. This started the catfish and waffles, for which the City of Brotherly Love has ever since been famous. The habit spread like an epidemic, and. like the star of empire, its way was westward. So far as is known the United States government has no record of catfish and waffles east of the Delaware river, but starting at Philadelphia a distinct catfish zone runs westward, terminat- I ing at Denver, reaching as far north | as Minneapolis and St. Paul and as far i south as Mobile and New Orleans. Tbe catfish is said to possess medicinal vir tue. It is mildly anaesthetic, soporific and nntispasmodic.—New York Post. TRAMPS’ GATEPOST SIGNS E\pl;mntlon* Wlil«*h Will Help Y'ou to l ntlerstaiiil Them. The rude drawings hardly need a key. When <*11 some white gatepost i found the sketch of a gun. I stoie far- I ther down the road. I had a strong ob jection so early in my career to being riddled full of holes by some intrepid farmer. The outline of a dog of war like proportions, with wild eyes and ferocious teeth, was wont to make me go breakfast less. My summer ward robe was not in condition to allow of further mutilation. If I felt brave enough to kick a yelping cur, I saun- Kred in recklessly at the gate which 1 bore a portrait of a toy dog. Once past bim one could usually get a bite. A big round “O” did not toake one wild to approach the premises it adorn- <d. It generally portrayed a hostess with a nature of adamant. A single “X" stood for a cross saw, which with small manipulation might earn a meal. Two X's made a tramp of none too vigorous a makeup go farther down the road. It suggested considerable wood cutting in exchange for a meal. The sign every tramp looks for anx iously is a crudely drawn table, with a lopsided coffee cup and a plate upon it. Beyond that gatepost dwells a sweet, simple, motherly soul who will wel come the most dilapidated hobo into her spotless kitchen and set before him a good square meal. Site may sit be side him, inquiring us to tbe safety of his soul, and she may give him a mother’s gentle advice or she may have a story to tell tearfully of a wayward boy lost somewhere in the great world, and nil the fee she asks for her gra cious hospitality is a simple request that in the wanderings of her guest he may look about for her absent boy and give him u loving message of u moth er’s longing and watching. — Good Housekeeping. Quotation Marks. Speaking of the use of quotation marks, tbe Loudon Chronicle says: But why all these inverted commas, “the silly trick of peppering pages with these uncouth bacilliV’ You will find none of these bacilli In (he Bible. Take this passage, chosen at raudom: Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him. and said unto them. Do ye Inquire among yourselves of that I said. A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? The modern compositor would set that passage between two brackets of in verted commas, for it Is a quote within a quote. But it is beautifully clear n* it stands, and among all Biblical mil- understandings no one, wo think, has been misled by the absence of an in verted comma. Jowers Is Pardoned.
