to the democrats here, said: 81 have
no fears that the wishes or the judg-
ment Of the people expressed at the
ballot box will be falsified or defeated.
No party, or set of men, can steal the
electoral vote of the Empire state. The
laws of the state in regard to the cleo
tion and the counting of the votes are
too perfect to admit of fraud. The
people of New York are too much in
earnest to tolerate fraud, even if it
were possible. The votes given will,
no doubt, be honestly counted and be
truthfully declared.

Old people like it for its wonderful power to

because it prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandruif away, and makes the hair

tiful glossy lustre, and enables them to dress
1t in whatever form they wish. Thus it is the

Leap Year Valentines.

This is one of the phenomenal valentine
years. The men are, in the low, bad
language of the small boy, "left." 1t is
leap year. 1t is the one year out Of four
when femininity asserts itself. For three
years the bold, bad men are permitted to
pay anywhere from ten cents to $50 for
valentines to be sen to their adored
ones. Now the adored ones have a
chance. They can look at the $50 and
send ten-cent valentines to their adorers.
There Is something about the whirligig of
time bringing around its revenges. 1t
brings around cheap valentines in Leap
Year. "Base is the slave who pays"
said Bardolph, and the modern male con-
siders himself base when he pays for a
valentine in leap year.
