Editor and Pat POLITICAL POSSIBILITIES Sot since the Presidential election •f 145* have there been so many dif ferent poestbilitie* in the choice of a President as there are this year. To be sure there have been several can didates an many other occasions, but In every case the real choice has been between two candidates who alone bad a nance of election. In lie* there were four candidates, John Quincy Adams. Henry Clay An drew Jackson and William H. Craw ford and du political prophet could br sure that any one of them w as out of the race at arfy time before the electors were chosen. In l«dO. when a rain there were four candidates Lunooia Brerkinnege, Douglas and Bell—there was perhaps, a possibili ty that the election might be thrown into the House of Representatives, but it «D remote But consider what a variety of chanom there are at the present time. The must probable result, in the opinion of surewd obaervers, is tiiat Governor Huso will have a clear majority of the electoral votes That is the result foreshadowed by the latest elections In the several states, as well a* by the division in the re publican party But there is a chance that either Mr. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt may gain enough strength between now and November to defeat Mr. tUna That, however, does not ex haust the possibilities- The regular repot* kata organization might carry enough votes to give Mr. Taft the and yet a considerable num ber of the electors might refuse to vote for tarn and give their votes to Mr. Mouervelb That action might prevent any one of the candidates from getting the full majority of tlie electors that the constitution requires and thus throw the election into the House of Kepreseotauves In an alert Inn by the House tin delegation from each state has one vote. The vote of lie la ware would thus be as patent as that of New York. If a state delegation is divided, the state loses Its rote. Moreover, it would be the present House that would make the choice and not that which is to be cfaonra Is November. The present House Is democratic, but to be suc cessful a candidate must have the rotas of twenty-live states—a major ity of the forty-eight There are twenty-two states that have a major toy of republicans to their delegation, and twenty-two that hare a demo cratic majority Four states are equal ly divided between the two parties. The indication is. therefore, that the House would fail to elect a President. If the Boost should make no choice betaee the date of inauguration—Uie 4th of March the Vice President would l^»ww President. And if no »—«Msi# for Vice President had re ceived a majority of the electoral lures the brnit r would select a Vice Pnetotiii from the two candidates «iwi bad the higlwi number of rotes. As the Senate is republican, it would doubtless select the republican candi date. provided he was one of the two uetween whom it is permitted to choose—Kearney Democrat. And if one of the highest was not a the republican, but either a Bull Mooser. a Socialist or a Prohib; or if neither the democratic nor republi candidates were highest, what then of the muddle? The school board has been having a ge-lorious time the past few weeks hiring teachers, accepting resigna tions. rehiring again and re-accepting resignations, until even Uncle Joe. with all his urbane manners and calm philosophy was found constantly taking aeroi.lane flights in his imag ination. while his dreams were inter spersed with letters of acceptance and follow ing day resignations, until ife was a mixture of joy and sorrow in thoroughly mixed doses. The h-ard found a man assistant for the t igh school room, received his resig nation shortly afterward: found an other man and before his acceptance was received lost him and kept the mails and wires busy locating him, and not until a few days ago lassoed him and got him signed up. He is B. II. Kendricks of Ohio, but attend ing the State Unversity. Then Miss Henry Young sent in her resignation at a late date and there was wild scurrying to fill her place. A well qualified young lady from St Paul was secured one day, and her resig nation followed by next mail. An other was sought and finally found in the person of Miss Hazel de Kamp also from St. Paul, who will no doubt fill the bill. Besides the above, there were several other jobs of hiring and rehiring and accompanying resigna tions, not herein mentioned, but all’s well that ends well, and the full quota of teachers has been secured to open the schools Monday morning of next week, all the teachers to be here this week Saturday night ready for their ; work. The board wishes us to state that all beginners in the primary room must be on hand at the begin ingof the school year and must be of the age of five years and not the least under, as there has been too much trouble in the past over the entering school of babes under tbs legal school age. Parents will bear this in mind, as the order will be strictly enforced, without fear or favor. Selah. Wiggle Creek W. C. T. II. The W. C. T.

We do not see as many sets or ar tificial teeth today as we did twenty years ago, since it haa been learned that there Is no substitute that will equal the natural organa. In the time of our grandfathers, if s tooth ached it was immediately extracted, and It was a common sight to see many peo ple going about with a large number of teeth out. So much was this the case that it became a matter of alarm among some of the scientists lest the human race was to become toothless. Nowadays, with improved methods, there is little excuse for anyone tc lose a single tooth. In those mouths where only a few teeth are lost, and bridgework can not be used, it is desirable to use tbe partial plate. This can be used with out the extraction of any more teeth. It simply fills in the gape caused by the loss of the teeth which have al ready been removed. If these plates are carefully fitted and the adjoining teeth well matched, they will do very well In the matter of appearance. When there are very few natural teeth In the mouth, and these In bad condition. It is often better to remove all the remaining teeth and have full plates Inserted. Especially la this true where the gums are badly dis eased, and the teeth are loosened by pyorrnea. on tne extraction of the teeth this disease usually disappears. Within the last few years thers have been many improvements In tha process of making plates, especially In the method of taking the impression of the mouth, and of arranging the teeth. The scientific principles under lying the movement of the jaw have been worked out, with the result that new apparatus and new moulds of teeth were required. This anatomical articulation, as It Is called, produces far better results than the old process. There Is greater ability to thoroughly chew the food, the teeth fit better and are much better In appearance. In the making of artificial teeth, care should be observed in selecting the proper form and color of the teeth to be used. Patients often demand small, white, even teeth, hoping thus to Improve their appearance. The re sult Is likely to happen In such cases that the teeth present a ghastly ap pearance. The color of the teeth and the form depend largely upon the col or of the hair and eyes, and other characteristics. The else should cor respond to the slse of the jaw. Many people Imitate quite successfully their natural teeth by having the artificial teeth slightly Irregular, as were their own teeth before they were lost. (Copyright, Western Newspaper Union.* RIGHT USES OF TOOTHPIC* Little Implement, Employed Regular!) and Carefully, Doee Much to Preserve the Teeth. One of the products of civilisation la the toothpick. So far as we knoe the savage does not indulge this hah It except aa be learns It from the edit cated races. There are very few parti of the world where the teeth are ins mune from decay, so the lack of lit use Is not because of the lack of need The reason Is probably that the sav age has no thought of the care of thi teeth, and doubtless he la not aa noyed by the particles of food which crowd between his teeth. There an some who, for* politeness sake, deplan the use of the toothpick. While It !i not an article to use at all times sad at all places, to discard It altogether would prove disastrous. The beet toothpick Is one of gain, iti flexibility, and the ease with which It la used making It Ideal. The ob Jectlon to the wooden toothpick to that It U bulky, and liable to Injur* the gum tissue and the delicate mem brane surrounding the tooth; It some times slivers, producing wounds and Inflammation la the gums. The metal toothpick Is also inadvisable, and th* habit of using pins and other metallic Instruments as toothpicks should b« condemned. In using a toothpick car* should be taken; it Is not enough that the food be removed, but also that It be removed gently. The gum which grows between the teeth has a verj valuable use and should not be crowd ed out. Occasionally *e find on* whose teeth are so perfect in shape and the gum tissue so healthy that th* toothpick is unnecessary, but for th* ordinary individual too much stress cannot be laid on the need of Its us* and the care which la necessary. Where the teeth are filled, care should be taken not to use force, and there by break off particles of enamel next to the filling or otherwise Injure the filling, and the habit of chewing a toothpick is n bad one. In using the pick often one may find a tooth which gives evidence of pain. In such a case It is well to learn at once whether or not there is a cavity forming in the tooth. Often, too, the pick will give you first knowledge of tartar accumulating about the necks of the teeth, and whan this la discov ered haste should be made to have it removed. This you cannot do with the brush; the only way Is can be re moved is with the aid of special In struments. 'By allowing the tartar to accumulate, you run the risk of con tracting that dread disease known as pyorrhea. Thus wa find that the toothpick la Indeed a valuable instrument when rightly used, and If It U employed after each meal wa will derive much satisfaction from the comfort it givae us, as well as protection from decay (Copyright, Western Newspaper Paten.) SHANTYMEN OF EAST CANADA Strenuous, Genial and Virile Type That Haa Not Changed in Seventy Years. Of all classes of laborers, the east ern Canada shantyman—particularly the Frencb-Canadian woodsmen of Quebec province—is the most strenu ous, while at the same time the most genial of workers. Skillful in all that pertains to log making and the use of the ax, which he has learned to handle from early childhood, he la ever at home in the forest and wilds. Like the Indian, were he unable to find his campground before nightfall, he would assure you that it Is not he, but the camp, that is lost, for he Is at home anywhere in the forest, while cold and hardship have no terrors for him, slnoe he can usually make himself comfortable lr spite of the worst conditions imagl nable. . . . Tracing the history of the shanty - man through the romantic legends of the contours de conte, the lmpressior la gained that those of the early lum berlng days were of the roughest am: moat formidable character—physicc giants, with whom the sliantymen o< the present day would be but miser ably contrasted. From truer, thougi less romantic, sources, it is found however, that those old bushwhacker, could not chop more logs in a giver, time than the present day lumbermen In fact, tbe whole system of log mak ing in eastern Canada is, with few ex ceptions, the same today as it wat ■ome 50 years ago.—British Columbia Magazine. WISHES TO PROTECT SNAKES Pennsylvania Professor Asserts That Many of the Reptiles Are Valu able Friends of Man. However men may regard the prop osition advanced In the following edi torial comment in the Chicago Rec ord-Herald, there are mighty few women who will not experience a chill of horror that such a dreadful Idea could be entertained in the hu man brain. Says the Record-Herald: Legislation to protect snakes that are harmless to man and destructive to rats, mice and other creatures ob noxious to farmers is being sought in several states, according to Prof. H. D. Bailey of Muhlenberg college, a Pennsylvania institution. In a recent lecture Prof. Bailey pronounced the “king snakes, the milk snakes, the huts, the corn, fox and indigo snakes all valuable allies of the farmer” and commended efforts to increase the number of bull snakes, which, though large, are harmless and abound in some western states. As man's knowledge of nature in creases he finds many creatures useful or harmless to his Interests, and he should act accordingly. Many snakes are benefactors of man, according to authorities, and once the Instinctive dread of them disappears through knowledge and familiarity there is nothing objectionable In their pres ence in fields or gardens. The move ment to protect useful and harmless snakes, like the movement to protect song birds, should find favor through out the country. Actor Holds Two Records. Herr Bernhard Baumeister has just celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of his joining the Imperial Court theater of Vienna. This is believed to be a record for any player, and as Baum eister is now 84 years old, and still plays regularly on the same stage, hs holds the double distinction of being the oldest actor In Europe, and the one who has played longest at one and the same theater. He appeared In the evening as Falstaff in “Henry TV” one of his most famous roles, and received a tremendous ovation, in re turn for which he delivered a short speech of thanks. The Emperor of Austria, who is two years Baumeister’s junior, sent him a special message of congratulation and promised a pen sion for life to. his wife, a compara tively young woman, whom the aged actor married only two years ago.

He writes that his mother, a widow, whom he has not seen for many >ears, Is living In Loe Angeles, CaL, but he has been unable to get In touch with her. The fam ily was large and he was turned over to others when a child, and gradually his name was lost track of.
