I nwnow? i a m?nw. WI .www If the legislature would go out of its own membership to elect a successor to Senator Latimer it would be a wholesome sign of the "busting" of the legislative trust. Judging by the way they voted the majority of the legislators do not seem to care whether or not they go back next year. Perhaps if they had foreseen that they would raise tcir per diem they would have been more careful how they acted. The representative from Beau fort who attempts to defend the legislature bos a hard task*. On one point we agree with him, however there will be manv members who will not be called upon to make the "personal sacrifice" another term. A representative from Beaufort seems to be much exercised over the criticisms ot the Bamberg Jlexald as to the extravagance of the legislature. Why focus, bis wrath on the Herald when three fourths of the weekly papers and about four-fourths of the people think the same way? Not content with doubling up appropriations for State colleges, forming new circuits with attendnew officials and court attaches, creating the office of in finance commissioner (tor wmcn the State has about as much need as a rhinoceros for a B flat cornet), raising salaries?their own included?the legislature decided to relieve certain ex State treasurers of their liability for bouds stolen by their dishonest clerk, thereby presenting these individuals with thousands of dollars at the expense of the State. What's the nse of a State official giving a bond, anj way, if the legislature is going to relieve him when he gets into a hole? The perennial measure for repairing or remodeling the State honse bobbed np as usual at the reoent session of the legislature. It would be interesting to know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars that old building has already cost the State. Every few years another appropriation is asked for and when the money is spent experts say that the bnilding is in worse condition than before. By the way, wasn't there something said some years ago about suing certain architects and contractors for alleged swindling when the last "completion" was effected? Did the State ever recover a dollar? If so, we have never heard of it. IN A NEW LIGHT. How a DifFarant Point of Viaw May | Chang# tha Whola Aspect. Discontent or satisfaction with an object often depends entirely on the way in which it is regarded. A difference in the point of view changes the whole aspect. This truth is well illustrated by a pleasing little incident of Robert Dale Owen's childhood, told by himself in . "Threading My Way:" Near the isolated country seat where I spent my boyhood there was a footbridge but little more than a I mile away. For the first ten years | ] of my life I was forbidden to cross it, and until then I never walked on the turnpike road. One day father told William and me that he would take U9 to walk over the bridge and to the other aide of the river. This was blissful news. He conducted us by a winding country road up the opposite bank of the stream. Suddenly the view called out my youthful admiration. Across the river appeared a large house standing in beautiful grounds not very distinctly seen through the trees. Spacious gardens were surrounded by walls, there was a large greenhouse, and beyond stretched a j meadow. . "Oh," I exclaimed, "what a beautiful house, papa! Don't I wish I * could live there! What a time we 1 could have!" i Mv father smiled. j "We are going to live there, my ^ son," he 6aid. "Truly, papa?" 1 ?v??** 1 *w* I "Oh, I imw glad! There must ( be plenty of nuts there." g 'Too hare never seen the house before V* asked father. "Of course not We hare never f been here before." t 'True. Take a good look at the , Sounds. What do you think of em?" I did so and announced they were E much larger and finer than ours. 1 "My child," said father, "you are x doing what much wiser and older ^ people have done before. You are looking from a distance at a beau- e tiful place with envious eyes. It is c a very pretty place. It is Boxfield, 3 your own heme, where you have a lived all your life." ^ Mixed Metaphor. Edwin Markham at a dinner 6aid a of mixed metaphors: "When I was p teaching in lx>s Angeles I used to s read every week a little countn pa- n r>er whose editor's metaphors were , an unfailing joy to me. Once, I rc- c mcmber, this editor wrote of a con- C temporary, 'Thus the black lie is- a suing from his base throat becomes a boomerang in his hand and, hoisting him oy his own petard, leaves a him a marked man for life.' He d 6aid in an article on home life, 'The t faithful watchdog or his good wife q standing at the door welcomes the master home with an honest bark.' In an obituary of a farmer he ^ wrote: 'The race was run at last. C Like a tired steed, he crossed the } harbor bar and, casting aside whip j and spur, lay down upon that bourn from which no traveler returns/ " Rochester Herald. I Dramatic. j Just as he clasped the beautiful j gin ill ma greub swung siuii . > , strange man came out and stood beside them, looking exceptionally foolish and idiotic, due possibly to 1 his embarrassment. t "Pardon me," he said. "The ^ playwright had more epigrams than he could put in the mouths of his ^ l/imfol rbarartprs. and I've dropped J m just here to get off a few of r them. I'll be as quick as I can. { You understand my position, of course ?" "Oh, dear, yes!" they replied a* * with one voice. "Don't mind us. 1 Go right ahead. Take the center of j the stage and talk just as long as j you like. We've been in society , drama before, you know." Puck. j Pedigree of Tote." "Tote" is good English on higher authority than that it is a colloquialism which has become engrafted into our language. It is AngloSaxon to the core, as, says Bosworth's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, London, edition of 1852,thus: "Tote from Totian, to lift up, to carry in ha hands or unon tne nerson in the same sense as the Latin Tollotollere." Tote is not known except among English descended people and is unquestionably correct, although now obsolete to a great extent. New Orleans Picayune. Poor Woman! "Yes," declared a suffragette, "women have been wronged for ages. They have suffered in a thousand ways." "There is one way in which they have never suffered," said a meek looking man standing up in the rear of the hall. "What way is that?" demanded the suffragette. "They have never suffered in ailei.ce." London Telegraph. P * J Union Graded School.

We ire all elated tnat miss :*ance rindly promised to return at a nture date for a more extended risit.
