Free Voting.

The "free and Independent" voter is a bet
ter citizen than the voter who Is dazzled or
intimidated by banners badges, and words
without meaning. There Is no sincerity in
the partisan abuse showered upon such q
voter. The abuse is meant to produce tho
effect of trepidation upon the man who secs
clearly and votes straight to the mark every
time. But year by year the trepidation is
less apparent, and the partisan scolding more
of sham. The greatest scolds are notori-
ously partisans who have themselves
scratched and bolt Z whenever it was their
interest or pleasure to do 80. The time APP
pears 10 be approaching when he will be re-
garded as poor creature indeed who is gov
erned in his voting for municipal, state, Or
national candidates by the good or the i'll
opinion of some other person, rather than by
his own conscientious convictions. If the
''whipper-in' should permanently succeed,
and voting at all elections should be matter
of precedent, habit, or domination of mere
party names, it would be time to despair of
the republican experimental the New World.
The caucus and the boss would have sup

tionl
All, here you arel Well, my little ones, as
you very soon are 10 begin to learn your let
tiers, if, indeed, you are not already learning
Them it may interest you to know hat tho
babies of other countries, as well as baby
Americans, are expected to know their 81
phabets at a very early age; and some of
them, because there are more letters in their
alphabets, have even harder t.no than you
do. Some, again, have less to learn. For
instance as sprightly and learned corre-
spondent informs this pulpit, the Sandwich
Island alphabet has only twelve letters; the
Burmese, nineteen; the Italian twenty; the
Bengalese, twenty one; the Hebrew, Syriac,
Chaldee, Samaritan, and Latin, twenty-five
each; the French, tweniy-three; the Greek,
twenty four; the German and Dutch, TWEEN
ty-six each; the Spanish and Slavonic,
twenty seven each. But, on the other hand,
the Arabic has twenty-eight; the Persian
and the Coptic, thirty-two; the Georgian,
thirty five; the Armenian, thirty eight; the
Russian; forty-one; the Muscovite tortY-
three; the SanscriS and Japanese, fifty; the
Ethiopic and Tartaric, two hundred and two.
If this information bewilders you, my
poor little lettcr-learners, don't mind it. 1t
will keep. One of these days you VIII be
able TO play tag, and, later on, base ball in all
these languages. Then, few letters, moro
or less, in any one of them, will be a matter
of small consequence to you. Even now,
dare say, after what l have told you, you'd
be able TO play with the letter blocks of any
country. In truth, if / were you, think
should prefer a box of Ethiopic or Tartaric
letterblocks to begin with.
If you wish, l'll mention this matter to

MOlern Hant-Made Shoes

"Theres no more business for us making
shoes to order" said cobbler back of a
thriving shoe store. Nowadays, when you
go into to a store and order pair of shoes
made, they take your measure and act inst
as though they expected to make the shoes
right there: but what they really do is to
send your measure TO one OF the big factories
down town, where shoes TO fit are picked out
or, if me- essary, made. and the name of the
ostensble maker put on them conspicuously
They are apt 20 look more styli3h at first
than regular hand made shoes, and they are
deal cheaper for the store, although the
customer pays about the same. OF course
they don't wear like the real thing"

For all that, and all that
Well hide his faults, and all that,
And think, with womans logic rare,
