FIVE NIGHTS OF DEMOCRATIC HowLs.

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBuNEI
Providence, Nov. S.-There IS absolutely noth
ing talked about here except matters connected
with the election. For five nights the Democrats
have surgcd in great crowds around the newspaper
Offices, acting more ike wild men than like in
tclligeut human beings. Friday night somebody
got up courage to fire salute Of thirty guns. and
went 70 the Mayor for permission to use the Cave
Park for that purpose He refused, az there was
danger OF tho conclusion breaking win
dows in the City Hall and the
business block. The salute was fired from Smiths
Hill. The crowd soon learned OF this refusal and
il maddened them. They held great mass meet
ing IN front of the City Hall and every one talked
at once, and Kissed and howlcd. Then they gradu-
ally returned to the vicinity of Turks Head and
so that on the advice of the Chief of Police, the
latter took down their bulletins. About midnight
somebody got mp purse, and woke mp the sleeping
citizens with I01 guns. gang Of hoodlums
marched mp the hill to the colleges and tried to get
up FIGHT with the Students; but the students
didn't have on their fighting clothes. so the
Democrats marched down the hill again. The Jour
detail Of policemen IN citizens clothes was
inside 10 guard against an attack, and about nifty
policemen were outside III the vicinity. III
TRIBUNE has had great sale here tins week.
Great admiration has been expressed for the tone
of lHE TgIpuNE, regarding the covert threat made
by Dan Manning about the Democratic Board OF
Canvasseis.
The only thing that has prevented collision this
week ~ the fact that the Republican organizations
have for the Iast two nights remained in their
quarters and have studiously cultivated a peace
tul disposition.

A TailOr's Blunder.

Whether a man wanting leg is more
to be pitied than a man wanting brains,
is a question which received a striking
illustration one evening in the classic
shades of Baxter Street. 1t was pushing
on to late hour, when the sellers of old
clothes on both sides of the way eagerly
jmportuned passers-by to inspect the
bargains which we've offered. TIE ordi-
nary citizen, accustomed to The noise
and wells, hurried on and said nothing.
The countryman paused at many stalls
nov and again, examined the wares, and
departed without buying, a chorus of
blessings following him until he was out
of sight. The turn OF Joe Edwards came,
and a he hobbled along with two heavy
crutches it was quietly noted that he
meant business. Joe had only one leg,
and of this he was proud. For its part
ner. which In times of war had deserted
him, he didn't feel much troubled; his
whole anxiety now was to clothe the
integral member in the most approved
fashion.
"Show me a trousers he said, as he
viewed the stock of cast-ofls which erna'
mented the sidewalk.

The legislator who introduces a dog
law is doomed. No matter how well he
may start out, nor what prestige he may
have, the simple act of submitting dog
law bin enclCses in black-bordered en-
velope his chances of future political
success. The man who lives in the val
lev. and the man whose log domicile
crowns the summit of the hill, cont
want dog law. They regard the dog as
a free born American citizen. Children
are of minor importance. The dog is es-
sentiai. If man were to introduce a
bill in the Arkansaw legislature
providing that every boy above a
certaiG age must wear brass collar, with
a tax r ceipt engraved thereon, the SOW
erigns of the hill and vale would pay no
adverse attention TO the action, but let
him ATTEMPT TO restrict the liberties of
the dog and something will drop. That
something will he his own political head
in the basket. For young politicians, the
framing of dog law possesses strange
fascination. 1t seems to present such an
opportunity of display 1t is easy to
write, for such words as protect the lit
tie lambs" and take care of the moth
erlv ewe," fit in so comfortably.
Some time ago one OF the most learned
men in the state announced himself a
candidate for governor. He seemed to
have no opposition, for his ability met
with universal recognition. Just before
the election was held, some one diseev-
cred that a man with a similar name had
once drawn up dog law articles. ltwas
fatal to the candidate. Tie people de-
clare1 that if man of the same name
committed an action so disreputable,
what might they not expect nom anoth-
er man OF doubtless the same genealogi-
cal tree. They defeated him anil to-day
he stands, wrapped in a tat;ered cloak,
selling ginger cakes and cider to the hur-
rying crowd. -,
An, young legislator, We who would
stick lighted match into the rutfled
bosom of the Arkaesaw river and shout
as the SIN Oke and flames ascend, don't
monkey" with the dog law. Some one
who seems To be YOUR friend may with
soft words whisprr its eXpediency, but
he is a hoo ed enc.F Is disguise and
carries a pIoneed tail. Tell him to ge.
behind himself, Satan. Arkansaw Trav-
plcr.

Mixed Farming and Drudgery.

One of the charms of farm life is that
it always gives something to do, and an
other IS that it gives great variety. To
be occupied is our life an ] variety is the
spice of it. 1t is serious indictment
against some occupations that, although
they cultivate the powers to high de-
gree in one direction, they leave the man
in an endless rut.
1t is possible that a district of country
may be necessarily confined to Ole crop
for profit-as the Red River Valley for
wheat but it is unfortunate. 1t was an
unfortunate condition of Ireland when
the people only raised potatoes. The
terrible famine Of 1916 taught them
more respect for mixed farming.
Some years ago l heard-not in a
farmers club-the question discussed.
"How to farm it with the least labor"
and it was agreed that producing hay
and selling it gives the most leisure.
One of the disputahts claimed that he
could sit in a bar-room more than half
the time.
| know district ofcountry where the
style OF farming gives opportunity for
more leisure than that, if the farmers
should wish it-which they do not. 1t
is in fine grazing district. The farm
ers buy cattle in May, and put them in
pasture, and BY October they are fat and
go to the butchers in the large villages
not far off. The farmers only have to
salt their cattle. But they are far enough
from thinking mixed farming to be
drudgery.
There is no land in this part of the
country IF there is anywhere in the
world-that can be kept in perpetual
fertility by tillage. Our soils are easily
exhausted and we must apply manure,
and have rotation of crops. The grass
crop is the most valuable, not only for
the uniform income which it gives. but
for the manure which results. And for
the best crops Of grass we are obliged to
cultivate and reseed. Country Gentle
man.

QUEER MESSAGES.
Oddities OF Life Noted by Operators OF
Police Telegraph Wires.


Telegraph operators at police head
quarters find much amusement in no.
ticing the ignorance of some ofthe police
whose duty it is to send the message
from the station to which they are at
tached. A few of the many messages, as
actually received, are here given:
"A baby carriage was stolen this after
noon by an unknown man with black
leather top and painted red, from the
front yard of the residence of Mr. -,
No. - Pierrepont Street"
Mrs. - of - Flushing Avenue, lost
two roosters this evening" This was so
absurd that the operator sent back the
following dispatch: "What is arooster?"
and the answer came back: "A foul"
James Ward hurt his fut by having it
coght between the bot and bridge, at
Fulton Ferry this morning" The bad
spelling somewhat disgusted the opera
tor who replied; "Who made the abb
DreyiatiOns?" This message was answer
ed in about half an hour later by:
"Sent to the ferry-hOuse and was told
Mr.. Abbreviation was not in"
Charles -, of No. - Fifth Street
fell on Fulton Street this p. NJ, and re-
ceived a scalp wound on his head"
Sure it wasn't on his foot?" asked the
operator of the sender
"Patric-, fell this a. M, from the
secOnd-story window of his residence,
No. - Baltic Street He struck the
pavement with his head, and received
a severe sprain to his left ancle." Pat
rick is noble fellow. Well done
Patrick" replied the operator over the
wire to the sergeant who sent the absurd
message.
Another message runs as follows: "a
ded kat lays in front of No. -, Menth
Street. Please see that it moves to
onct." In case like this the operator
sends back word that he has sent word
to the sausage factory.
"a bay white horse with spots ON the
black hair strayed away from the stable
of Mr.. - this afternoon" Shortly
thereafter another message in relation
to the horse was received as follows:
That horse is not white bay horse
it is mare"
"William - shot and fatally wound
his wife during quarrel at their resi-.
dence, No. Myrtle Avenue. The
wound is fatal. She will probably die"
This message came from the South
Brooklyn Precinct:
'Philip - of Forty-eighth Street,
New York, was arrested this afternoon
by an officer for carrying a dead deer
through the streets in bag, which had
died, and he intended to sell it for
meat"
'The dead body of a drowned man
was found this morning at the foot of
Jay Street."
"John - died last night at his resi-
dence, -, without the care of a doc
tor"
Not only do messages like the above
come over the wires, but entries like
them may be frequently seen in the daily
reports of the various police captains in
this city. Brooklyn Eagle.

THE MOONS VELOCITY.
How swiftly the Orb of Night Performs
Its Journey.


1--WE can family picture, perhaps" ="
says writer in the Century, "how it
would seem from a station near tie or
bit to see the moon "a moving world)
rush by with velocity greater than that
of the cannon ball in its swiftest flight;
but with equal speed its shadow actually
travels along the earth, and now if we
return from our imaginary station to a
real one here below, we are better pre-
pared to see why this flying shadow is
4 unique spectacle, for, small as it may
be when seen in relation to the whole
globe, it is immense to the observer,
whose entire horizon is filled with it,
and who sees the actual velocity of one
Of the heavenly bodies, as it were,
brought down to him.
The reader who has ever ascended
to the Superga in Turin will recall the
magnificent view and be able to under
stand the good fortune of an observer
iForEesJ who ence had the opportunity 10
witness thence this phenomenon, and
under Il nearly cloudless sky. L per-
ccived,' he says, in the south west q
black shadow like that of a storm about
to break, which obscurod the Alps. 1t was
the lunar shadow coming toward us.
And he speaks of the 'stupefactlOn'-it is
his word-caused by the spectacle. Il
confess he continues, ii was the most
terrifying sight | ever saw. As always
happens in the cases of sudden, silent
unexpected movements, the spectator
confounds real and relative motion. /
felt almost giddy for moment, as though
the massive building under me bowed
on the side of the coming eclipse An
other witness, who had been looking at
some bright clouds just before me, says:
= he bright cloud l saw distinctly put
ont like candle. The raridity of the
shadow and the intensity produced a
feeling that something material was
sweeping over the earth at a speed per
iectly frightful. involuntarily listened
for the rushing noise of mighty wind"

"A pair of trousers, sir? Certainly,
sir" and the man of cloth brushed eager
ly about.
Not pair Of trousers, but a trouser,"
shouted Joe, little angry.
ooh, | see" said the other, and he cast
4 critical glance at the one left leg. 81
think III suit you"
All the clothing in the concern was
Ovrrhauled. Every size and quality of
trousers were found, but all were defect
i've. They were Of the ahtiquated two
legged pattern. A neighbor who saw
this hurried into his shop and Topped off
leg of the first pair he picked up.
Clothier number one looked perpleX-
ed
Il que 5 III co." remarked joe; you
can't suit me-"
"I'll make it all right for you," put in
the knowing one who had just piled his
shears.
Joe then entered the second store.
''Try this" said the seller, in the pleas
antest of tones.
There is so ne sense in that" said
Joe, as he handled the one-legged gar
nent and got behind the screen. Sud-
denly he emerged with roar that drew
crowd around. ali, there, you son of
gun p' he thundered, "what's this here
business, anyhow"
."Some to suit, ain't it?" coolly respond
ed the owner.
Something to suit! Why, you darn
ed fool, don't you see it's the right leg l
have anG that is the very one you've cut
away. What do you take me for, man?'
Then there was loud laughter IN the
street, and the Clothier began TO swear.
y. Y. Clothier.
