HOW WOMEN VOTE.
Some Amusing Characteristic Episodes
 in Balloting at Elmira.

Some Amusing Characteristic Episodes
 in Balloting at Elmira.
 When the women were voting for school commissioners in District No. 1, reporter stopped in and asked d few questions as to how the ladies managed it. The first lady the re porter questioned startled him with the reply:
 "Oh, have we got to tell every body how we vote?"
 "Oh, no! certainly not. l wouldn't have you tell me for the world it's against the law" said the reporter.
 ''Oh, well then, l don't care who knows how 1 vote." and with that the lady unrolled small bundle of paper and cautiously extracted d ticket which looked as though it had been folded up and pressed out with a hot fatiron.
 There it is," and she held up tri umphantly before the reporters eyes a ticket with John R. Joslyn's name on it.
 Why do you vote for him2" asked the reporter.
 Well, don't know"
 Perhaps it is because he is better looking than Dr. Parke in your esti mation?'
 No. that isn it at all :"
 Then perhaps you admire his poll dcs?"
 No, that isn't it, either. Mrs.
 - said she was going to vote fol MT. Joslyn because his family lived near hers and I thought l would too."
 The lady then carefully arranged her hat, took the ballot in her hand as daintily as if she were picking a bonbon out of box. and handed it to the teller.
 Next came lady who was in a hurry and said she had to vote right away, so she could hurry back home to get supper. A lady in a hurry is dangerous thing to mo]est or op pose, and all the men down ill Dis trict No. seem to agree on that point. They all made way for her without saying a word, and she handed in her ballot and got away so quickly that she was nearly home by the time the teller had shouted, Name. pleasea"
 The next lady was ready with her name and gave it simultaneously with her ballot. Number, please2' asked the teller. >>-.-
 ''Oh, now, you are just like those horrid telephone girls Every time any one rings the bell they shout out, Number, please have just got a good mind not to tell you" ''Then you can't vote" That proved too strong an argu ment and the lady gave up her mum Der.
 One thing that rather nonpluset the tellers was a woman who gave her name as So-and-so, and the very next one gave the same name an( l the same address. It was evident however, that the tellers didn't wan to get into any argument over it, an( they took the ballot and deposited i without asking any questions. One thing noticeable was that thu ladies all come in ciques, usually six or eight together. and they al lived neighbors The way one votet they all voted. The majority of thu ladies held their ballots wide open although once in awhile one woult be folded up to the smallness of 1 postage stamp. The ladies all seemed to enjoy voting, which was evidenced by the statement of one who said sh, would like to stick in two or thre' ballots. -Elmira (N. Y) Gazette.

Missed Himself.

A French landed proprietor and a colonel of dragons quarreled. and a challenge to duel followed. Blood only could wash out the insult that one had put upon the other. It was determined that the duel should be "a rAmericain," that is, that lots should be drawn and that the loser should retire and shoot himself.
 The next morning the opponents and their seconds met at small cafe outside the town Lots were duly drawn; the landed proprietor was the winner.
 The colonel took his bad fortune calmly; he wrote few lines upon a piece of paper, which he handed to his second, took an affectionate fare well of all. and forgave his more fortunate adversary, as Christian gentleman ought to do.
 Then, accepting the loaded pistol, he retired to an adjoining room and closed the door. The rest of the party remained breathlessly awaiting the detonation which was to convey to them the finale of the tragedy.
 At last it came. Eagerly they ran to the door of the fatal chamber, which was thrown open and dis closed the supposed defunct duellist standing on the threshold grasping the smoking weapon.
 Good gracious, gentlemen ex claimed he with bland smile. ''1s it not unfortunate? l have missed myself!' !'-Youth's Companion.

Wire Fences as Lightning Conductors.

Wire Fences as Lightning Conductors.
 The data collected by insurance companies that issue policies on cat tie show that a distinct increase in risk is caused by the use of wire fences on farms. The number of cattle reported as killed by lightning is very large. In the majority of cases the cattle were near the wire fences at the moment of their being struck. and so convinced are the companies that the metal strands by acting as conductors of electricity increase the chances against the life of the cattle that they are making a modification of the conditions on which such insurance is given.

Tho Judge and the Witness

Even the dignity which hedges round the judicial bench is not always safe pro- lection from conscious or unconscious sarcasm of too blunt witnesses. A Ger. tain judge who, when denuded of his of hcial wig, was as bald as billiard ball, had before him, by strange irony of fate, 8 dispute as to the real proprietor ship of a patent hair restorer. During the progress of the case the judge, whc sometimes indulged in little sarcasm at the expense of witness, asked bland ly whether the restorer had ever been known to restore wornout broomheads to their pristine condition of hirsute lux uriance, or the lost bristles to old clothes brushes.
 Of course there was laugh, and tine judges wit was rewarded with looks oj admiration. But the witness, to show that he had every faith in its being 8 sure hope for human badness at least replied very innocently that, "If didn't know it was necessary for your lordshir 70 always wear wig in this court, ] should have declared that you had ex perimented with my hair restorer o1 yourself. f."-London Tit-Bits.
