RETURNS FROM SHAKAN
- ■ • *
Unofficial, information received
from Shaken via Wrangell Is that
Senator Charles A. Sulzer received
six majority over delegate Wicker
sham at that place. J. A. Snow, who
has returned from the south end of
the district talked with the judges
of the election at Shakan precinct,
and with two of those who voted
there. He says they said their recol
lection is that Sulzer received six ma
jority there. He said that the judge
of the election was not sure whether
Sulzer received six majority or six
votes. However, all of them were
sure that eight votes were polled, and
that there was only one or two votes
for Wickersham.
Gov. J. F. A. Strong has received
the official returns from Shakan, but
they are sealed and there is nothing
about them to indicate the result.—

THE HOLLYHOCK.
A Flower That la Intertwined WHh
Our Colonial Hietory.
The hollyhock gets Its name from
two words that indicate its origin In
the Holy Land and its membership in
the mallow family. But apparently It
was known in India before It flung Its
cheerful banners to the air In Pales
tine.
Wherever Its nrst home was. It has
become thoroughly acclimated in New
England. We think of It as a charac
teristic New England flower. It deco
rates our colonial history almost hack
to the days of Governor Bradford anti
Roger Williams. It Is forever peering
out of the pages of New England fle
tlon and poetry. There is no flower
that more completely embodies the
spirit of our eighteenth century ro
mance.
Some of the old colonial blossoms are
shy and modest, hut the hollyhock tans
the courage of Its convictions. It
knows its beauty, as It should, and
has no mind to hide it under a bushel
or beneath a hedgerow. It is the prov
ince of loveliness to display Itself, not
vauntlngly, hut with a due sense of Us
worth. And the hollyhock, the state
liest of our “old fashioned" flowers,
aspires unabashed.
in two books or "popular quotations
there Is no reference to the hollyhock,
though the holly has Its fair share of
space. Rut it can afford to be thus os
tracized.—Providence Journal.
FAMILIAR PHRASES.
A Few of the Many Game We Get From
Alexander Pope.
With the exception of Shakespeare.
Pope is the author of more familiar
phrases than any other writer of mod
ern times. Here are a few of his gems:
"Shoot folly as she flies.” "Hope
springs eternal in the human breast”
“Man never is but always to be bless*
ed.” "Whatever is is right" “The
proper study of mankind is man.”
"Grows with bis growth and strength
ens with his strength." "Order is
heaven’s first law.” "Worth makes
the man and want of it the fellow.”
“Honor and shame from no condition
rise: act well your part—there all the
honor lies.” "An honest man's the
noblest work of God." "Thou wert my
guide, philosopher and friend.” "Wo
man's at best a contradiction still.”
“Just as the twig is bent the tree's in
dined.” "Who shall decide when doc
tors disagree?" “A little learning is a
dangerous thing.” "To err is human,
to forgive divine." “Beauty draws us
with a single hair.” “Fools rush in
where angels fear to tread." “Damn
with faint praise." "The many headed
monster.”
The Blow on the Jaw.
A. man struck with any degree of
force upon the mental area of the jaw.
although he may tie in perfect physical
condition, instantly collapses and falls
to the ground, says a medical journal
Tlie attitude assumed iu recovery
which may be instantaneous or delayed
some minutes, is most characteristic.
He squirms about, raises his head and
rolls his eyes in an attempt to locate
himself, lie tries to get on his side
and elbow; he endeavors to rise upcn
his hands and knees. If he regains bis
feet he staggers like a drunken man.
The blow is practically never fatal; the
heart's action is never unduly aceeler
ated; the pulse and respiration are nor
mal; the pupils are normal; there is no
headache, no sweats, no cold extremi
ties, no pallor—none of the ordinary
signs of shock or concussion.
How to Bo Happy.
There are two ways of being happy.
We may either diminish our wants or
augment our means. Either will do.
The result Is the .same, and it is for
each man to decide for himself and do
that which happens to be the easier. If
you are idle or sick or poor, however
hard it may be to dlmlnsh your wants,
it will be harder to augment your
means. If you are active aud prosper
ous or young or in good health it may
be easier for you to augment your
means than to diminish your wants.
But If yon are wise you will do both at
the same time, young or old. rich or
poor, sick or well, and if you are very
wise you will do both in such a way as
to augment the general happiness of
society.—Benjamin Franklin.
A Celebrated 8uicide.
Haydon, the celebrated historical
painter and writer, at a time in his
life when he was overcome by debt,
disappointment ami ingratitude, laid
down the brush with which he was at
work upon his last great effort. “Al
fred and the Trial by Jury.” wrote
with a steady hand. “Stretch me no
longer upon this rough world.” and
then was a pistol shot put an end to |
his unhappy existence.
Dressing the Pillow.
A little child, not three years old. 1
was sleepy, and his mother carried him j
to his crib, but the pillowslip hud
been removed by the maid for the |
laundry, and the child, looking up be j
seechingly Into his mother’s face, said
pleadingly. “Please put a shirt on my 1
pillow.”
Remembered Too Well.
Howard—Did your aunt remember
you In her will? Henry—She sure did
Directed her executors to collect all the
loans she had made me.—Puck.
_ i
Holding His Own.
“Stingy, isn’t he?’’
“You’ve said it. Why. he holds fast to
everything he gets his clutches on and :
even bolts down bis dinner.”
Public opinion, though often formed
upon a wrong basis, yet generally has
a strong underlying eense of Justice.—
Abraham Lincoln.
