A large element in the Republican party now declare that because he spoke in favor of the election of the Democratic candidate for mayor of Columbus, 0., Governor Hanly is no longer a “regular” Republican. The men compising this element are getting ready to oppose Hanly as a delegate at large to the Republican national convention for the reason stated. This ought to lead to a pretty fight, and it progress will be watched with complacency by all disinterested persons. President Roosevelt has evidently befogged the usually clear brain of former United Senator Spooner, for he said when asked whether Mr. Roosevelt will be a candidate for president again: “God alone knows. He has said he won’t be a candidate. He has said he will be a candidate. He is impulsive. He is erratic. He is honest in his desires, but the man does not live who can say whether he wil run again or not.” Now that Senator Foraker has been officially proclaimed a candidate for president, the Republican fight in Ohio will take on new interest The Taft forces propose to fight Foraker to the last ditch —and vice versa. The Ohio Democrats will, of course, give both sides all the encouragement that they consistently can. True R. Fristoe, who has been playing for a vaudeville house at Troy, Ohio, for several months, is in the city the guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Fristoe.

His children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors to the number of forty-three assembled to enjoy the festivities that were in store. The dining table was heavily laden with the delicacies of the season although it was too full io groan, but some of its surrounders all but groaned for storage room. Only two and one-half hours were consumed for the meal, and all were full at that. By good management and diplomacy, a large amount of music, social chat nd music was sandwiched in between courses. The only cloud in the social sky of this event was the fact that Mr. Blossom’s appetite failed him. but his fellow sufferers supplied the lining of present condolence and hope of future restitution. Well, to say the least, the affair was most enjoyable and will serve as a pleasant reminder of the sixty-fifth birthday of Mr. Blossom. The Young Ladies’ Foreign Missionary Society of the M.

Jennie Studabaker next Thursday afternoon. The Sunday school board of the M. E. church held a meeting yesterday afternoon to arrange for the Christmas program. Mesdames Ella Bell, Jonas Tritch and Dr. Wilcox were appointed as committee for the entertainment, Daniel Sprang as committee for the treat and Messrs. J. Bryson and C. Kattahenreich on finance. Judging from the selected committee in -whose hands the success of the entertainment has been enrusted, the affair will be a howling success. An excellent program will be rendered and a good enjoyable time is anticipated. It has been decided by the members of the Baptist church to hold their preaching service on Sunday afternoon hereafter, instead of Sunday morning. Sunday school will be held in the morning as usual, however, and no preaching in the evening. ELKS MEMORIAL (Continued from page 1.) . and in glowing terms pictured what all good Elks expected as a reward for their many good and kind deeds conveyed to their fellow men. Judge Merryman’s talk fairly glistened with beautiful thoughts and his address more than pleased those who heard it. The Elks choir then rendered another selection entitled “Blest be the Tie that Binds,” after which Exalted Ruler Beatty closed the lodge according to the ritualistic work and the audience was all requested to join in singing the doxology, after which the meeting was adjourned by prayer by Rev. A. B. Haist. The services were enjoyed by all who heard them and many congratulations were bestowed upon those who so kindly took part. HUNTING NOTICE. I do not permit hunting on my farm.

CENSUS HUMORS. Returns of Occupations That Are Difficult to Classify. According to an official of the census bureau at Washington, that organization is often puzzled to know how to classify the returns of occupation in cases where the enumerators have given a too literal description of a person’s employment. There are two census terms to cover such cases. Occupations not included In the regular list may be entered as “O. T.,” meaning “other things,” or “N. G.,” which stands for “not gainful.” To choose between the two sometimes suggests amusing complications. An enumerator in lowa reported “drunkard” as the occupation of one of his men. The census bureau entered him as “N. G..” since the next column asserted this to be his occupation for twelve months in the year. A New York enumerator who seemed to evince the inclinations of a detective reported several men in his district as “crooks.” “pickpockets” and “gamblers.” They were entered as “N. G..” although their occupations may have been more gainful to them than to their victims. An Alabama man whose occupation was reported as “odd jobs” goes on the records under “O. T.” —“other things.” While some of the occupations which the enumerators give are unusual, they are probably correct. A tramp was described as “loafer, not gainful, unemployed twelve months.” An extra thrifty person in one instance was reported as “occupation, miser,” and another “lives on savings.” A New England woman whose husband was described as an “idler” gave her own occupation as “washing and wishing.”—Minneapolis Journal. • _ Danger. “She was even more afraid of cows than most girls, so when she spied a placid animal recumbent under a tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she at first refused to go through the pasture at all. Her husband calmed her fears to some extent, and they started by. when the cow slowly commenced to get up, hind legs first, as they always do. At this the little lady shrieked with terror and said: “Oh, Bob. hurry, hurry. He is getting ready to spring at us.”—Exchange. Blind Justice. Little Willie— Say, pa, why do they always have a bandage over the eyes of Justice. Pa—Probably because the lawyers have talked the poor woman blind, my son.—Exchange. His Remedy. "Out of a job?” "Yes—and they put a woman in my place." “Gee! Well, Pll tell you—why don’t you marry the woman?” — Cleveland Plain Dealer.

J. A. M. Adair Sworn into Office—His Friends Present. THE ORGANIZATION Many Flowers in House — Speaker Cannon ReElected —Message. Washington, Dec. 2.—(Special)— Mrs. T. D. Johnson and Mrs. John A. M. Adair, of Portland, were in the gallery of the house today to see Representative Adair sworn into office and make his selection of seats. Mr. Adair represents the Eighth congressional district of Indiana and received a hearty welcome from the democrats of the house. He succeeds George W. Cromer. Washington, Dec. 2. —The Sixtieth (Stress of the United States convened at noon today; as usual a great crowd being present. The house resembled a flower garden, there being a profusion of chrysanthemums and other flowers in season. The afternoon was devoted to the swearing in of new members, re-election of Speaker Cannon and other preliminaries toward organization, after which an adjournment was taken out of respect to two members-elect, Mr. Slemp, of Virginia and Mr. Smith, of Illinois. The president’s message will be read to congress tomorrow.

WIVES IN KOREA. A Humoriet Who Draws a Moral From Their Silence. , It is said that in Korea after a native woman is wedded she becomes practically speechless, says Newton Newkirk in the Boston Post This is in conformity to custom and caste. A Korean wife does not after marriage become absolutely mute, but she does not speak unless necessity demands it And, by the way, if none of us talked any more than necessity demanded this world would be full of large chunks of silence. The Korean wife does not chatter like a parrakeet Hot air is something in which she does not deal. Os course if the house got on fire she would mention it, or if she were to step on a snake she wouldn’t try to keep the fact a secret, but she does not talk over the back fence when she is bringing in the wash or converse with her neighbor when she is washing the windows. If she did, she would lose her caste and her social rating would slump faster than a copper stock. Probably many a brutal husband who reads these lines will sigh and say, “Ah, that my wife were a Korean!” There has an impression got abroad in this land of the free and the home of the grafter that our women are endless and tiresome talkers. In the eyes of the masses the American wife holds the long distance record as a continuous conversationalist. And upon this Impression jests and jokelets are freely built The eternally talking wife is a prolific source of inspiration for comic weeklies and the vaudeville stage. Two comedians come down front and, with their noses touching each other, engage in a rapid fire conversation: “I got a talking machine down to my house!” “Oh, you got a talking machine down to your house! How much did you pay for it?” “I didn’t pay nothing for It—l married it!” (Shrieks of laughter from the large and select audience.) But if the wife is voluble of speech, is her husband a sphinx? If a woman is a human phonograph, is a man a clam? Not exactly—not so that you could notice it from the road through the binoculars. Most of the husbands who like to joke about the wagging tongues of their wives are living expounders of the hot air theory. They are the chaps who have nothing to say and devote most of their time to saying It; they are full of persiflage, verbosity and prunes. When they open their mouths their tongues run away with them. Stand one of these tiresome expounders of the obvious up beside a talking machine and he will make it sound like a whisper. Man, as he averages up, is full of bluff, brag and bluster, and that’s worse than you can say of the average woman. o — I am now prepared to mend furniture, stoves, file saws, etc. South Eighth street, J.
