While there is life there's hope, and we wiil continue to hope until next Tuesday that sbrne good angel will .happen along who will purchase the traction line, ex-end it southward or in some other way make it a good thing for the community and a permanent means of modern travel. Senator Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania announces that he will be a candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency. There is something for republicans to think about. Perhaps they will be able to decide whether his proceeding is an exhibition of colossal nerve or whether he is actually so stupid and so lacking in an understanding of conditions and widespread sentiment as to believe that the voters of the country would be willing to place him in the highest office. ♦ » * Boise Penrose for the presidency! What do you think of i that, oh, progressives, who have ‘gone i back!’ Os course the Star may appear I rather severe on the dear old party, I since some allowance sfipuld be made I for the awful difficulty the standpat- ■ ters are finding in discovering a can-! didate for the 1916 sacrifice. —Indian-! apolis Star. It is beginning to dawn upon republican leaders that the defeat of! the proposed New York state consti-1 tution was a reassertion of the" ■ st-f progressive party voters! at the ; i's and a direct and complete knock-out of certain republican leaders whose active work at the republican na i r.al convention in 1912 ere-1 ated a progressive party. There is j not a state in the union in which the ! republican party-has so much to fear from the progressive party thought and voters as in the state of New! Yprk, io; ; i -al to indorse repub-;

licau candidates in 1916 tn that state would exert a most powerful infillsince throughout the state easting the ! greatest electoral vote, and would undoubtedly affect the results in many |of the close states of the union. Five hundred thousand majority against I the new constitution was the resrit of ! popular fear of the personal and cor- ' poration influences which were charged with dictating and forming its cardinal features, and there is no conceal--ng of the fact that the majority of ihose who voted for Coloner Roosevelt i:i 1912 eagerly seized the oportunity to destroy the work of some of their notable antagonists and to serve notice upon the republican party that the progressive vote is still the vote that given to either republican or democratic- candidates, is the controlling vote in that state.—Cincinnati j Enquirer.

HOT BATHS CURE DELIRIUM Recommended by Eminent Physicians as the Best Remedy Th t as Been Discovered. There are two kinds of dt.Tlum, , that which accompanies fever and \ that which is afebrile, following a serious Illness or the result of ex- I haustion or shock. The first is caused by the poisoning of the neurones of the brain cortex by the toxins of disease. Dr. Edward Livingston Hunt, assistant professor of clinical neurology. College of Physicians and Surgeons. Columbia university, told the East 'Jew York Medical society recently I': 1 the fofir things to do in delirium vere: (1) To secure sleep; (2) to overcome the motor unrest; (3) to prop and maintain the patient's vitality; (4) to discover and if possible | remove the cause. v He deprecated the use of drugs to produce sleep, and said hqt baths at JO to 95 degrees, lasting front half in hour to two hours, with the hot water running constantly to maintain the same temperature, was the best treatment. Where such hot water j baths were impossible, a wet pack was the best substitute. “This consists of a sheet wrung out in warm water, which covers the patient. Over this are placed blankets tightly drawn, with the arms held down. The patient must be kept in this for an hour.” A delirious patient must be kep in bed. Liquid nourishment murt t. ?iven constantly and persistently. The best form is eggs and milk. The heart must be w-atched, and at ±e first sign of failure strychnine tnd digitalis must be administered. Only a physician can do this. The bowels and kidneys also mast! be kept steadily at work. OLD-WORLD MUSIC REVIVED Connoisseurs Welcome With Delight the Return to Instrument Belonging to the Past. For the musical connoisseur a ne« and delightful experience during the last season has been the appearance of the Russian musician, M. Votitcuen ko, and the old-world instrument ! known as the tympanon, upon which he plays, the London Chronicle states This seventeenth century instru ment of the dulcimer family, a mu- ' sical ancestor of the clareciu. itas been rescued from oblivion by M. Votitchenko, under whose fingers it has | attained a high degree of artistic ex [ I pression. At a concert held in aid of funds for tho wounded the young Russian player delighted his hearers with a number of seventeenth and eighteenth eentury pieces, some of them adapted Tom music originally played on the instrument in Louis XIVs time, end I others arranged from Russian folk tunes. In the case of the latter the mt seems to have a certain a ' i'.i. .he instrument, which as a I- <: i t, has been in Russia ic; . generations in M. Votitchen . ily. These "Did Memories oi i.b Russia” and a ‘‘Rhapsody of Volga Songs ’ both proved very exquisite and delightful, as did also a fantasy on old French tunes, and some other pieces. Much of the charm of each, ft need hardly be. said, lay in the very oeautM ;’ul and sympathetic way in which the artist handled the instrument. First Hand Grenades. Ha.ei g.enades, which are playing s ■ent part in ’.he present war >.<: e revived in modern times by Gen dalca.Powell during the siege of Mafeking. They were afterwards used with dire" effect against the Russians by the “slim” Japanese. But they first ap peared among the equipment of the British army in the summer of 1678 when John Evelyn records: “Non - re brought into service a new kind oi soldiers called grenadiers, who were dexterous in flinging hand grenades. They had furred caps .with coped crowns, which made them look very fierce.” These primitive grenadiers, afiet hurling their missile, charged the en , erny with hatchets, and were frequent i ly killed by their m firework. Bo- i sides grenades in pouches and bat.ie- i axes, they were armed with muskets, slings (?), swords and dagger.- and bayonets, when first invented, were appropriated to the grenadiers. So they must have been walking arsenals. — A Bargain. “I don't mind giving your college \ half a million," said the magnate, “but I'm a great believer in reciprocity." "1 catch your drift,” replied the solicitor. “How would a degree of LL. D. suit you?” “Doctor of Laws, eh? That would do first rate. I could use the title all right and if anybody ever asked tne for legal advice, I could turn him unr to my lawyer.” Grasshoppers a Plague. Reports from several parts of Central America indicate that the plague of grasshoppers will be more, widespread this year than last. The insects have extended their ravages from the Pacific side to the Atlantic, and are working havoc on the benana plantations along the coast. Strenuous Kindness. She —Here's a story in the paper that tells about such a kind policeman. He —What did he do? She —He found a man asleep in tne street. lt,says, and fanned him till he woke up. ‘
