Was It an Unkind Fate!

Janet Russell was the belle of the
village, a Canadian village on the st.
Lawrence, and was admired by all the
SWANS who dwelt in those parts, but
her steady company" was a handsome
young fellow-John Miller, son of the
village postmaster, who also kept u
general store. John and Janet went
together to rustic frolic one night,
and on the road John asked the old
question, which was answered in the
| affirmative. Things went nicely, but
at last, Janet dancing twice in success
| sion with young fellow whom he had
looked upon as rival, John felt bad,
and on the way home sharp words
passed between them. The girl told
him she wished it had been Charley
Hall (the rival who had asked her
the question before mentioned, where
at John said he would give her day
to take that back, and If not-why. all
was over between them. Janet re-
Tented when she had time to think
| about it, and the next morning wrote
note to John and dropped it into the
letter-box at old Mr.. Miller's store.
Time passed on. A year or so after
th"t N'Ahilt1 llbil anu JdutI
we're married, and John Miller was
welded to another girl. Some five
years passed aud old Mr.. Miller died,
leaving his property and his store to
his son, who at once set about making
Improvements. And it so happened
that the day the old letter-box was
broken up Mrs. Hall. accompanied by
her eldest daughter, years old, was
in the store. A letter dropped to the
floor; workman picked it up, and,
with the remark, Here's an old letter
addressed to you, Mr. Miller" passed
ii 10 John. At the moment he was
talking 10 his old sweetheart.
He took The letter and turned it over
and over in his hand. As Janet's eye
fell on it she blushed. John opened
the note and read it, then he handed it
to Janet with a bow and the words:
THAT has been in the box ever since
the day alter We went to the dance at
Turner's. All. Janey, if 1 had only
kno gn!" Mrs. Hall took her child by
the hand and went home without q
word. Janet's poor little note had been
caught and concealed for nearly six
years, and had changed the current OF
four lives, but for better or worse who
can tell?

ENTRANCE

! In order TO prevent excessive and ire
| sponsible candidacy. Some methods fur
nish sort of sentry-b box in which the
ticket is prepared, but the parttioned
shelf is the usual plan. Arrangements
! for the identification OF the official bal
lots. Withdrawals OF candidates, aud
space for additional names are also made.
The Dominion elections act in force in
Canada, was passed in 1874, and is re-
! Garded as one of the best conceived among
the various statutes dealing with the sub
| Ject. 1t provides that twenty-f five electors
may nominate a candidate; that the nom
ination paper must contain the consent in
writing of the person nominated, and that
the sum of $50 must be paid to the return
| ing officer at the time of handing in the
nomination paper. 1t Is provided, as in
the English statute, that no informality
shall vitiate tho election, if the principles
OF the act have been followed, and if the
result of the election has not been affected.
Fears have sometimes been expressed
| that the new method of marking the vote
would have difficulties for the less intelli-f
! gent voters, but the result has showed
those TO be groundless. For instance, at
| the Leeds election of 1874, out of 81, 1913
votes only eighty were void for uncer-
| tainty or failure to mark. In the Kent
election only thirty-two votes out Of 49,
UOO were lost Tor uncertainty. and these
were the first trials of the system, and in
places where illiteracy reaches it's height.
As regards polling arrangements under
the new system, il was found that at tho
time of greatest pressure land that under
the cumbrous English provisions for TAX
ing the votes of illiterates) votes could be
received at the rate of from $50 to 200 per
hour, and this even whore only private
compartments were provided at each
polling place.
The leading device for defeating the So
cret ballot is known as the Tasmanian
dodge. By it the elector manages to sub
stitute spurious ballot for the official
one given him by the ballot clerk, and
takes the official ballot TO the man who is
buying votes outside. He marks il in ink.
and gives it to one of his purchases, who
enters the Enclosure, votes the marked
ticket, and takes the blank ticket to the
man outside. This can be obviated by
the system of marking the ballot when 1t
is given TO the elector. The advantages Of
the Australian system OF voting have been
far more than its drawbacks, and now that
1T has received n thorough trial under
widely varying conditions, the prospect
for its adoption in linois entities il To
careful consideration.
