HER EXALTED STATION.

used to think it an easy thing,
As easy as any one asks,
To keep family neat ana prim
And manage the household tasks.
It seemed to me in my foolish pride,
That the heit OF q Woman's toll
Was simply 10 sit by the door inside,
And wait for the dinner o boil;
While out in the summers scorching heat,
We men were sweating away,
With aching shoulders and jaded feet,
From Dawn 10 the close of day.
But, sir, I would have you be assured
That thoroughly, one by one,
My notions OF homework have all been cured,
And this is the way 1t was done.
My wife suggested q days exchange,
As she drOppee a kiss on my brow
'''Tis hard she said, holding on to the reins
And riding the sulky plow.
''You better stay in the house, my dear,
And wash lew Of the things,
And churn, and sweep where il needs it here,
And read Till the dinner behring's.
"The horses are gentle and pretty true
/ guess 1 can drive Them straight
III try and turn furroW or two,
For the season IS getting late"
So of she rode on the sulzy plow,
With her jaunty hat ana blouse,
While / was inWardly yoWing a VOW
How would manage house.
But somehow found The morning chores
We're not in my usual line
Like those / had finished out Of doors
At least Tor q thOusandth time.
Against the stove my fingers 1 hit,
And blistered them singing sore:
In trying to scrub the clothes bit,
l scrubbed my knuckles the more.
The churning acted specially mean;
The butter would almost come,
Ana then go back TO frOthy cream,
AS if had just begun.
The FIRE went out, as a fire VIII do
When wood is not put in:
And as 1 thought of q meal for two
did not know where TO begin.
But, while [ was fixing potatoes and pork.
Not ut for a dog to eat.
Ny wife returned from her forenoon's work
As fresh as rose and as sweet.
With a mortified air quit the room,
And betOOK me to the shed.
While she got & dinner exactly at noon
As good as ever was spread.
We sat at the table opposite-wfse,
AS always we did before
When she asked with smile in her sweet
blue eyes,
If 1 would exchange some more.
Then, sir, l confessed my faults and said:
My dear, yous as good as q queen;
The woman VINO keeps the family fed
is running big machine"

PORT HARTFORD.
For the RECoRD-UNroN.l

For the RECORD-UNIoNl
To kiss the feet of high brown hills,
The restless waters clear and blue
Come in from sea with every tide
As if they felt all worship due.
At dawn of day Port Hartford seems
A shrine of silence, calm and still,
Save for startled sea birds call
That echoes clear DER vale and hill.
The deep that calleth unto deep
Where breakers toss the foam in spray,
Brings wreathing flowers of the sea
To deck this shrine from day to day.
Port Hartford, l. too, fain would bring
My tribute, fraught with praise of thee
For thou enSnared within my heart
A captive meshed in memory.

CLEANING OFF.

Clouds and the winds a-chill,
And the road of sOdden CLAW.
And mist on the dripping hill,
And mask on the DAY.
And the noon was like the pain
When cheer is cold on the hearth:
And the noises, dulled by the rain.
Hung low to the earth.
But now, as if one came out
From the western seas and waved
Onset, with gesture and shout,
Till his fleet was saved
SO came wind from the sun
And broke the hurrying rack.
And the blessed light was won,
And the blue came back,
And the rainless clouds in the west
Lay white like the gTiefs we love:
And soft as q sorrow at rest
Was the blue above.

of Washington has been experimenting
with the talking machine with such re-
suits that he expresses the opinion that
deafness can be cured by a quickening OF
the ear drum with vibrations from its

Will dislodge the formation or coating on

IS BALLOT REFORM CONSTITUTIONAL
A Test OF the Inv on the Point or Disfran-
chlsing Innocent OnondnEa Voters.

SYRACUSE. March 22-The constitutionality
Of the Ballot Reform law has been raised In the
trial OF the case OF Phillip S. Ryder. Democratic
candidate for Sheriff In the recent election.
against John A. Hoxsie. the Republican occu-
pant OF tho office. now in progress in the
Onondagi County Circuit Court. Tho Repub
lican attorneys have taken tho view that the
Saxton act is m obstacle to tho free exercise
OF the franchise. The Republicans were beat
on in tho Court OF Appeals in trying to
maintain that the error OF a County Clerk In
mixing ballots should not deprive the voter Of
his rights. The Court decided otherwise. and
the Republicans lost a Senator and an Assem-
blyman. The Republicans. therefore. claim
that such a law must be unconstitutional.
The Democrats. in the Sheriff case. have pro-
ceeded on the supposition that the same de-
cson OF the Court would Gust Hoxsie. The
Republicans admit the right OF the Legisla-
ture to make laws regulating tho exercise and
control OF tho right of suffrage but they deny
that the Legislature has any authority to
abridge or impede the right of franchise.
Section Of article 2 Of the Constitution says
that every male ctizen shall be entitled to vote
in the election district OF which he shall at tho
time he voting resident upon all questions
which may be submitted to the vote Of the
people. The Republicans claim that any
law that has attached to it provision
that will necesstate the cnsting out Of
single ballot through no fault Of
the voter is unconstitutional. II this is
not true tho Republicans say 1t would simply
be declaring that because OF the slightest kind
Of a mistake. OF which the votcr is entirely in
nocent. he shall DO disiranchised. They say
that il he shall not vote the ballots that havo
been prepared for him by the proper authori-
ties and at public expense. and shall not be
allowed to prepare n ballot for himself and
vote it. his rights are cut off absolutely. The
Hoxsie-Ryder case will bring tho ballot law
under the examination Of the Court of Appeals
in an entirely new light
