THE LAW SIMPLlFIED.
Some of the Important Provisions
of Illinois Elections
A Resume of the Australian system
and which First and Above ali
Must be Done.

As the time of the spring elections.
April 5, draws near, the discussion be-
comes more interesting over the prOvis-
ions of the new election law of Illinois.
Inquiry has been frequently made as to
the manner in which caucuses must be
held in compliance with the provisions,
and the following resume from an Illi-
nois exchange will be read with interest.
The first thing the candidate has to do
is TO go before the people. One of tive
ways must be adopted:
LIST. The candidate must receive the
nomination of caucus representing q
political party that at the last general
election preceding polled at least per
cent of the vote of the town. Or
ID. He must be placed in the field by
nomination papers" signed By a number
OF voters e9usling per cent of the votes
cast IN the town al the LAST preceding
election.
Nomination by convention or caucus
must be made in the regular way, by a
caucus called according to the us8ges of
the party for which it is made. A certifi-
cate of nomination must be made out and
fled with the town clerk at least Is days
previous to the election. The certificate
must be signed by the presiding off GER
and the secretary of the caucus, who must
add TO their signatures their places of
residence, snd make oath TO the truth of
the certificate.
In the case of union" caucuses that
have no ticket at general elections, the
caucus can be held as usual if desired
and the nomination paper" be used in -
stead of the certificate of nomination.
This paper mus: also be fled with the
town clerk at least 10 days prior to the
election dsv.
All certificates aud nomination papers
must specify the names of candidates, the
Office to which the candidate is nomi>
mated. the political party or principles he
represents, expressed in net more than
five words, and his place of residence,
with street and number If any. 1t should
be rememb ered that the forms suggested
have not been judiciallY passed upon, and
are merely suggestions.
If the candidate does not live in q VI
lsge, it is sUffi ;ient in specifying his resi-
dence to say merely ''of said town" The
certificates all held if no objection is
made. Ii objections are made they are
decided by the board of town auditors
The board must give the parties notice
and decides by msJ 1rity vote.
The effect of sll these prelimlnaries is
that the name of the candidate will be
printed on the official ballot" and he
may be said to be properly entered in the
race for official prefermeut.

The Frederick (Md) Daily Press con-
tsins the following notice OF the death OF
the mother Of " B. Petit of this city
who left Rock Island in hopes of reach
ing the bedside of his mother before her
death, but arrived too late:
Mrs. NJ A Petit died at : O'Clock
yesterday morning in the S1st year of her
age after an illness of two months. The
| deceased was daughter of William NJ.
Beall, a former cashier of the Farmers
and Mechanics National bank and pres
ident of the Mutual Insurance company.
Her husband, a. NJ. Petit, who died in
1S47, was the experimenting civil euei-
neer in the construction of the B. & Q
railroad from Baltimore to Point of
Rocks, and was also prominently con-
nected with the building Of the national
road from Cumberland TO the west. Mrs
Petit has been q resident OF Frederick
since the death of her husband and fans
lily in 1917. She was born in the Of /
colonial homestead which stood upon the
site now occupied by the city hsil. -Four
of her children, Mrs Belle Matthews, of
this city, Mrs Hattie P. Floyd, of South
Carolina, Mrs. Lizzie P. Hunter, of
North Carolina, and DR.. Henry NJ. Pet
lit, of Missouri, we're present at her bed
side at the time of her death, and Wil~
liam B. Petit, of Illinois, will arrive to
day.
Mrs. Petit was devoted member of
the Presbyterian church for nearly sixty
five years, aud throughout this extended
period she constantly eyemplifed in
every relation of life the sublime tesch-
| ipgs of her adopted faith. 1t is not often
that community is presented with the
record of a life so wholly spent in the
practice of christian virtues and SO beau
titled with the graces of christian chsrac-
| ter. The funeral will take place from
the residence, Ne. rs East Second street,
al o'clock p. n. tomorrow. Interment
at Mt. Olivet cemetery.

An Amusing Aneedote.

Some time ago an amusing little anec.
dote was related about the German Crown
Prince while having lesson in grammar
from his tutor. One is now being told
about the second son of the imperial
couple, Prince Eitel Fri!z The em peror
is exceedingly strict about his sons be-
havior at table. Not long ago little
Prince Eitel Fritz, using his fingers in.
stead of his knife and fork, was corrected
by his father several times to no purpose.
At last the emperor's patience was ex-
hausted, and he said:
"ChiIdren who eat with their fingers
are like little dogs that hold their food
with their paws Ifyou use your fingers
again you must go under the table, the
proper place for little dogs"
The little prince did his utmost not to
forget this time, and used his knife and
fork like q man; but all at once he for.
got again and began using bis fingers.
"March under the table," said his father,
and the boy crept under as bidden.
After little while the emperor, thinking
the prince very quiet lifted up the table
cloth and peeped underneath. There sat
little Prince Eitel Fritz undressed. Hia
father asked him what he meant by un'
dressing himself. The child answered
"Little dogs don't wear clothes; they ou'
" have skin"

The Pistol Grip.

"The question is often put to me-" said
a lady whose opinion in matters of eti-
quette is wholly competent, whether it
is ever permissible co take young lady's
arm in acting aa her escort on prone
made after nighlfall. Unhesitatingly and
peremptoriIy, no. Not after nightfall,
nor by daylight, nor at any other time.
An invalid may lean upon the arm of q
young woman; grandfather, if be is in.
firm, may avail himself of similar sup
port. Broadway policemen seem to have
acquired the right to propel his charges
across that thorougbfsre By grasp upon
the arm, but these are the only persons
so privileged. For an acquaintance, a
friend, or one who asrires to still near
er place, to take the arm of young wo-
mau when walking with her on public
highway, is inexcusable. You may be
sure nothing will 80 quickly offend her
good taste, although she may lack the
social skill to resent and avoid it, And
the spectacle itself is most unpleasiDg.
To see young woman pushed along, 8
little in front of her escort, by his clutch
upon her arm, is neither suitable or pic,
turesque. 1t reverses all preconceived
ideas IT gallsu!y The fair should lean
upon the brave. Virile strength ought
ever to support feminine frailness. Offer
her your arm, young man, every time aud
never uuder any circumstances commit
the undue familiarity and offence of TAX

Just Pegged On.

There died down in the Neosha valley
not long ago man known for miles and

Kansas City paper. Old Joe came to

ing off and on for number of years,
when be was 'took down" with lung fe-
YER. 1t went into quick consumption
and one of his lungs was gone before be
knew it. The doctors gave him up and
didn't think he could live through the
winter. But he just plugged along and
allowed he'd pull through somehow.
The children were little tots then and
Joe bought bunch of calves that spring
and said he guessed he'd have them any.
how for the children to 60 to school on.
The doctors told him he couldn't possibly
get through the next winter and he made
his will. He hung around the house and
coughed most Of the time, and the chill
dren helped him about the chores in the
cold weather. He had his spells and
verybody thought he would die, but Joe
he just plugged along and allowed he'd
pull through somehow.
The next year, and the next, and the
next, he bought calves and steers and
pulled them through somehow. Summer
afternoons he used to sit in front of the
long, low farmhouse, built of addition on
addition, thinking and coughing absent
mirdedly. He was Democrat, and his
chief dissipation was his attendance on
the County conventions every year and
the State conventions when they came.
He got to be known as a large cattle
buyer, ard strangers who SAW him would
look ard wonder which undertaken
would get him. But old Joe used to take
a grim delight in counting up the doctors
who had given him up, and had since
died of natural causes themselves. Ev-
cry winter he would have his spells, and
every winter he would tell the doctors
between his coughs that be would just
plug along and pull through somehow.
he had attended the funerals of ten
doctors whose bills he had paid for pro-
nouncing him beyond hope and for tip
toeing in the room to tell him they
feared the worst. he had bad spell
last winter. They said it was the grip
combined with the old cough; but old
Joe Kimpson didn't say anything, though
he took their medicine with the old re-
proachful look, as if to say the old words.
Old Joe was getting along in years when
be died. he was sixty-two and most OF
the time enduring constant physical suf-
fering. Yet he seldom complained. All
over Lyon County and Morris County,
where the old man was known and lived,
he will be missed. His peculiar case
may pass into tradition and child stories
may grow from it about kind, grim old
man who couldn't die.
