Once more we remind our Republican
readers that it is their duty to go to the
polls to-day, and go early. DON'T FAIL
TO VOTE. The opponents of General
Merwin and the other excellent nominees
associated with him are hoping that they
can win through Republican apathy. They
can't win unless there is disgraceful apathy
and neglect of duty on the part of those
who approve the Republican ticket. Every
vote counts, and the one vote may even
decide the election. Clear yourself of re-
sponsibility by voting.

1871 his body was conveyed with great

the machinery in the time consumed re-
markable. In less than three months,
everything was ready for the trial of the
new machinery.
All the iron workers in the mill were
on the tip-toe of expectation when the
day appointed for the test approached.
"What if it doesn't work after all,
motherW Jem said. Mrs. Dunn lifted
hand warningly and looked at John,
who had laid aside his drawing with a
sigh. His manner was strange, nervous,
aud his mother was solIcitous. He was
unable to sleep.
81 heard what Jem said," John an
swered sadly, but he did not meet the
look his mother bestowed upon him. 'If
it fails, Jem, well, there's the other
patents to fall back on. But l guess I'll
have to wait good while before l can
go to the springs in Germany"
Fourteen months confinement had not
taken the spirit out of the brave fellow.
''If it works at first, I'll be surprised,
Jem, not because it ought not to work
but, you see, if amt there, why there's
great difference. It's pretty tough, sit
ting here Gagged there was tinge of
bitterness, the first his mothers quick
| ear had detected in his tone since he was
carried in lifeless to her-''and my pa
tent going to be tried" He said to him
| self if he had the means how soon he
would have devised artificial locomotion.
] He counted on the invention to pay for
Jem's schooling. Jem was very bright,
: and a universal favorite. Who knew,
John asked himself, what Jem might not
accomplish in professionl Then, il
there was half the money in it he
thought there was, it would enable his
mother to try what change of scene
and variety would do for her.
-, 'If the machine does not do all we
expect, Wen just have to wait, Jem. "
But John Dunn's voice trembled as he
said it. "It's best not to be too sure
at least at the first go-off, you know.
We have all counted too much on il
maybe"
There was a pathos in his voice that
moved his mother as she had not beer
moved since the day he looked up at hel
when she Thought him dead. She turned
aside asking herself bitterly why he
son should be deprived of the pleasure
of witnessing his own invention. Sh'
would be there, and Jem. The brother
talked of little else now.
The eyentful day came. The new in
vention was carefully scrutiuized by the
curious, the progressive, the well.wisher
of the inventor, and the secret and avowe'
sceptics. The last were clearly in tn
majority. They were prepared TO dem
onstrate the impossibility of the success
of the invention. They quoted author
glibly; and a few expressed their sur
prise that the owner of the mill shoul'
surrender valuable time to tie test, be
sides incurring expense. The mill own
er administered a stinging rebuke Il

button simply emphasized the necessity
OF action insuring Uniform and perma-
nent provision. How to provide for the
Dunns was a problem that puzzled all in q.
terested in the family. The surgeons al
the end of year shook their heads when
they examined John Dunn, and spoke
vaguely of the recuperative qualities of
famed waters in the Old World. Even
the wit of Sandy Rec, considered one of
the shrewdest and best informed men in
the mill was not equal to the emergency.
TO borrow his own phraseology, his
''pond had run dry, an there were the
fish to look after still"
1t was at this iuncture that the Rever-
end Barnes, a newcomer, announced he
would preach a sermon which he hoped
would allay apprehensions expressed con-
cerning the Dunn family. Mr.. Barnes
chose to interpret the fears and doubts
expressed as a reflection upon the Al
mighty. He resolved to discharge his
duty by reminding the friends of the
family that He who noted the fall OF a
sparrow could still be trusted to provide
in His inscrutable time and manner for
the helpless family without Pumping
them into the poor-house, whittier they
appeared to be gravitating.
"They are headed that way moo, said
Sandy Rae to his better half with a snort
of disdain as he left the church, but he
sighed as he added, "And Pm maist
afeerd there'll be no turnin' them room. !"
AS his wife remained silent, walking by
his side, Sandy gave another snort ex
pressing contempt. ''Heckl Yon man
instead O. being man O. uncommon re-
sources, is mair like Jack Dean. You
remember Jack wi the stiff neck, an a

daughter Jenny, he ca'ad to his son-in-
law Tom Parker, sayin' 'Wi' your help,
an the Lords we'll max oot, Tom, but
Tom was ever O. the opinion he bore his
own an the Lords share"
A nights rest did not allay Sandy's
disgust, nor soften his temper. He put
his bad temper into his work, and it
found free vent when the day turn came
on in the mill, Monday, and the night
hands gathered in the little railway sta
ton to wait for the train that carried
them to their homes. Many there like

day evening, and these were greatly edi
fed with Sandy's analysis of Mr.. Barness
sermon.
"You don't think Barnes's prayers are
worth any more than the price of two or
three hundred ball tickets at dollar a
head, " said pale-faced young man who
was noted for his imperturable good
nature.
''l did'na say that Billy. hope I'll

you've given me an idea. Well joost

Dunn's."
When Sandy Rea ate his breakfast that
day he repaired to the room the Dunns
occupied. Jem, who was fond of books,
had broughta bundle of papers and some
torn pamphlets to his brother; gift
from the merchant who employed Jem
as an errand boy. He was showing his
mother the pictures in an illustrated pa

to himself, "God save usl It's living
death for poor John. This must be mend
ed some way"
John Dunn had a board on his sound
knee--his mothers ironing board. The
basket at Mrs. Dunn's side, and the
quality of material in her lap told the
story.
''What's the board for, Jack2" said
Sandy, cheerily. John blushed as Sandy
stopped and picked up large piece OF
cheap brown wrapping paper. The paper
bore rude drawing. Sandy scrutinized
it with a critical eye.

Johns eyes frightened. "Here-look

pointed to the board on his knee.

"I'm not so sure of that. I've thought

nance fell. Then Sandy Immediately re

before l ever touched pencil to paper, -
said John Dunn sadly.
"'The Lord will provide, Mr.. Barnes
told us" said Sandy Rae to his wife
"There's that cripple up stairs wi no
more color in him than piece of chalk,
fast to his chair, prying his brains out
wi inventions. The boys face was a
! study as he pointed out how he would
take the iron from the furnace, and finish
it into bars before it cooled. If it fails
why, it'll be the death of him Pm
afeerd" 4"
1t was a question of life and death to
the Dunns; their future now depended
upon the success of John Dunn's inven-
ton. When he could spare time to visit
the Dunns Sandy Rea would listen in
silence while John explained his inven-
tion. Then Sandy would look at the
drawing on the ironing board, stroke his
grizzled beard and scratch his bald head
alternately. He seemed TO DO ia DOUBT
at times, but morning he electrified
the invalid and his nervous mother by
rising and striking his palms as he ex-
claimed, ~ see it now! Work9 It's
sure to work, man. Once the iron starts
in there, no power can stop it. All we
want now is mill to try it in. Your
, fortunes made, Jack"
"Heckl" he exclaimed when he ex-
planned to his wife the value of Johns
idea. "There's been deal O. talk o. the
future o. the Dunns, an while this one,
an that one has been plannin' an moth
in came of it, here is Gods goodness

you quite sure his plan is right9 There's

comes to the work"
"Work2 Huts All the fools IL be
sayin' now, why didn't some one think
o. that long ago?" I'll din the ears o. the
owners till they give it trial"
Aud he was as good as his word.
Thanks to Sandy Rea's persistence, a
mill owner was prevailed upon to con-
struct a furnace and machinery adapted
to the purpose. In return, he received
an interest in the patent. In due time
the new plant was erected. 1t seemed
ages to the inventor, but experienced
iron workers regarded the completion of

Miss Irene Hoyt, the heiress of a New
York millionaire, has taken up a curious
fad. She is a COLLECTOR collector of
corner lots. She has picked up number
of fine pieces of property in New York,
and has made many such investments in
other cities. Wherever corner lot seems
worth adding to her interesting col
lection she always becomes its purchaser,
no matter what the price. Her highest
delight is found in such acquisitions.
Miss Hoyt is perhaps the first collector,
assumes the Chicago Post, who has made
corner lots speciality, but there is no
reason why her Inexpensive and amusing
fad should not be as popular as the pur-
smt of old coins, autographs and postage
stamps.

When four years old, the third pair goes;
At five, full new set he shows.

At eight, the spot each corner clears.
