THE LAW,

Following is the law on this point:
Section 81. Any elector who shall
use or bring into the polling place or
carry away therefrom any unofficial
ballot or any paper or thing bearing
any resem blance to the official white
ballot OTHER THAN SAID COLORED
OR SAMPLE BALLOT, or anything
which will show how he has pre-
pared the white ballot, or any elector
who shall, except as herein other
wise provided, allow his white bal
lot to be seen by any person with an
apparent intention of letting it be
known how he is about to vote, or
mutilate his ballot, or place any
distinguishing mark upon his ballot,
whereby the same may be identified,
or who shall make false statement
as to his inability to mark his ballot,
or any person who shall interfere,
or attempt to interfere, with any
voter when inside said inclOsed
space, or when marking his ballot,
or who shall endeavor to induce any
voter to mark his ballot in a partic-
ular way, or before or after voting to
show or explain how he marks or
has marked his ballot, upon convic-
ton shall be punished by a fine of
not less than $50 nor more than 5000.
So take your time to prepare your
sample ballot, take that with you
into the booth, lay it alongside the
official ballot and mark that accord
ingly.

His Simple Sparrow Trap.

The crusade against the English spar
row Is developing Il marvellous amount
OF ingenuity. 4 cheap, effective and
unerring method of killing the birds is
the essential requisite to success in the
new industry.
One little fellow on the south side has
solved the problem, and has already
brought in over 100 heads. He explained
his system and the comparative merits
of it and other systems to Captain Hay
wood.
You see" he said, Il didn't have no
gun nor no money to buy one, an if |
had the plicaman'd arrested me for
shootin. An me mother wouldn't let me
poison EN-. She said it was cruel. Any
way, you couldn't never tell whether
You got all the sparrers you poisoned.
SO / just got up a scheme of my own,
me an another boy that lives on the
street | do.
1--WE made a lot of paper tunnels out
of writin paper bout half as long as a
lead pencil, the top of EN- just big
enough for a sparrer TO get his head in.
We put birdseed in the bottom of EN-
IN set EN- up in the alley back of our
house, where lots of the sparrers come.
The sparrers come peckin around an
find the birdseed in EN-, an stick their
heads in to get it. Well, it's down at
the bottom, you know, an SO they just
push their heads right in, an then the
tunnels stick to their heads. They can't
fly, cause they can't see, an b'sides it
s'prises 'em, so they forget to fly. Then
we come right up and catch EN-. It's
lots of fun watchin 'em futterin round
tryin to get the funnel off. The other
boy had his tunnels marked with his
name, an had mine marked with mine,
SO we'd know which was mine and which
was his. "-Chicago News.

The Art of Cutting Clothes,

When we read and listen to discus
siOns of comparative value of long or
shoulder measures with those that are
short and sectional, in which one or the
other is denounced as unscientific or
impracticable, our mind Immediately
dwells for a moment ON a proverbially
stupid animal with long ears. The fact
Is that many cutters are successful
with the first, and just about as many
with the others.
Every man cannot become a good cut
ter. Some do not seem to "catch on
as the saying is, and others who seem to
do so are never able to produce any
other results than such as make old
heads swim"
Natural ability and educational ad-
vantages generally insure success, but
years of work on the board, the ability
even to make a good coat, is no guar
antee of the possession of that mental
equipment which is necessary to make :.
good cutter.
When it requires hours of labor to fiX
in some ones mind the difference be-
tween one-third and one-quarter of a
size, how "a such a one expect to sue
coed as a cutter?
When a student is able to think quick
ly and clearly, we confidently expect
him to become a skillful cutter, wen
though he cannot make a coat so well as
many others. The fact is that to be
successful III garment cutting, as in any
other trade Or profession, a man must
have brains, know how to use them and
use them as he should.-Tailoriny Jour

Makes War on OYSTERS.

Did you ever hear of a man who was
a victim of the oyster habit? The writer
was in an uptown cafe the other even
ing, when a gray haired, full chested,
big framed man came in and ordered
Blue Point oysters. He ate a dozen, or
dered another dozen, then a third dozen.
hesitated, IS if in doubt, paid his check
and went out. Three dozen oysters
right down made ones eyes open, but
the waiter said: "Oh, that's nothing.
He comes in here every night for raw
oysters. Sometimes he eats three dozen,
sometimes four dozen. He's what | call
an oyster eater. l don't believe he eats
anything else."-New York Tribune.

A Joke on the ''Britisher."

l had been travelling III a railway car
rage in the south, in company with two
very pleasant men who CHANGED to be
seated opposite to me at the end Of the
crowded car, and had got out to buy a
lunch" as they say, at a station, my two
fellow passengers having promised to
keep my seat for me. When l returned
to the car | found a tall, gaunt man, in
a broad SLOUGH hat, apparently about to
take my seat, bat yet not actually TAX
ing it.
A glance at my acquaintance opposite
showed me why he hesitated. Each Of
them was holding a cup of coffee to his
mouth with his left hand, while his
right grasped a revolver covering the
intruder. Time being short, they were
drinking their coffee while they kept
the Britisher's seat" The tall stranger
politely retired III my appearing, the
others put their revolvers in their hip
pockets without any remark and we re-
sumed our journey.
What amused me most of all, though,
was a glimpse | got of a solemn looking
old man about half way down the Car,
who had drawn out from somewhere an
enormous, antiquated, ivory handled six
shooter, and was holding it up with his
finger on the trigger, ready to take a
hand in any little feSivity that might
arise. He looked so disappointed when
it all ended in nothing that | felt quite
sorry for him.-Contemporary Review.

KEEP AT 1T.

Teach the mouse a principle, you I'M
derstand; not merely a trick. The prin-
ciple in this case is taking something up
in his mouth. In a short time he will
take up anything you wish, whether it
is a flagstaff or a little toy pail-any-
thing he can lift.
Now. there's walking the tight
rope" he continued. That looks hard,
but it is easy enough. You must have
the string fastened to the floor at both
ends, say four feet apart, and about a
foot from each end you brace it up with
a stick a foot or so long-just long
enough to tighten the string. Use big
Irvine at first, for that is easier; gradu-
ally you can make it smaller, till the
mouse will walk a druggists string.
They have sharp claws and a great grip
in their feet. You take the mouse when
he is hungry and thirsty and put some
oats and bread and milk at one end Of
the bridge. At the other end you put
the mouse. He will try to run across
the floor to the food, bat bring him back.
Start him a little up the inclined plane.
He is smart and he soon learns that the
only way to get that food is to cross the
bridge. Then he crosses, and it is no
trouble to him. Worry him INTO it.
You must not let the nous tire you out
you must tire the mouse out."-New
