The snlary of the president of
Switzerland is only $4000. Hut
then he does not have to keep up
an nmomobile: all lie lias to do is
to step out of his front door and
slide.
Chicago's police force lately de
veloped the fact that it had a mcm
ber who indulged the eccentricity
ol nlways paying for ills drinks and
cigars, lie was permitted to resign.
as such unprofessional conduct Is
not likely to spread.

A Pennsylvania judge lins decid
ed that a girl if entitled to keep an
engagement ring after the engage
ment is broken. It Isn't likely.
however, that many of the girls
who have been keeping engage
ment rings would have returned
them, even if the Pennsylvania
judge had decided the other way.
The graduated .single tax idea is
likely to have a lot of supporters by
the time election day arrives. It
provides a special tax on all indi
viduals or corporations owning laud
worth $fo, 000 and upward. The
larger the value of laud the higher
the stwciul tax. .So far as we have
investigated, proposed law looks
first rate. For instance, owners of
St. Johns water front would be
taxed so high that they would be
unable to hold It long without deriv
ing some income theiefrom. There
fore, they would be almost com-
wiled to either sell or place fact
ories thereon. The bill will bear
minute investigation, and should
be thoughtfully considered by all
voters.
The race for presidential iiouii
nations of the two leading parties
is growing warmer all the time. It
still looks like Uooevcll will secure
the Republican nomination, and
the chances aie th.it Itryan will be
the democratic nominee. Iu the
latter party Wilson and Clark
are now running neck and neck,
which portends 11 deadlock at the
llaltlinore convention. After a few
votes have been taken and the dead
lock holds pat, a sccch from Dry
an urging the nomination ot some
progressive will direct the atteu
tlou toward himself and the del
egates will break away and Hock
to him like a bunch of sheen, lli y
nu is the logical candidate anyway.
lie is .stronger iu defeat than most
men arc iu victory, and his tioini
nation would be particularly pleas
iug to the great majority of the
democrats.
i
The ranks of the old soldiers are
rapidly becoming depleted. Kour
have ilropKHl out of the local ranks
never to return since Memorial day
of last year, and one or two others
are near death s door. In a very
few years the hut survival of that
uiumorahtc coulllct of the early six
ties will have passed to his leward.
1 lie present generation should treat
them with the greatest rctipect mid
do them the fullest honor, for
they will be with us but a little
while longer. Their footsteps, once
so vigorous, sturdy and bolil, are
becoming more feeble mid uncertain
as the end draws near. 1 hey
should be remembered for the
things that they have done, the
fight that they have fought, and
the victory they have won. May
these, their latter days, be filled
with comfort, peace and tetfuhicss,
and may we ever tlo honor to those
who so bravely anil so generously
gave of their health and strength
that this nation might endure un
til time shall be 110 more.

Have you planned to do away with the dirt, dust, trouble and
heat of the old stove, and put in a
MODERN LABOR SAVING GAS RANGE
to do its work.
Spring weather demands that you rid your kitchen of so much heat as possible,
and yourself of as much trouble. A Cabinet Gas Range makes the .kitchen the
handiest, cleanest, easiest workshop that a woman ever had to do with.
The Housewife gets her largest meal in 40 minutes. She does it cheaply because
there are two ovens, both heated by one flame.
A GAS WATER HEATER attached to a tank will give her hot water right
from the faucet for cooking, washing dishes and cleaning, at an insignificant ex
pense. SO GIVE THE OLD STOVE "ITS NOTICE" AND ORDER A CABINET
GAS RANGE AND WATER HEATER TODAY
The whole equipment costs less than you imagine,
on small monthly payments and guarantee them.
