ting Rid of an ONCE Seeker.
A Chicago dispatch says Mayor Harrf
son has invented a new method Of Kidding
himself Of ofice-seekers. It will not work
with all men, but # settles things when
the visitor Is adorned with whiskers. Mr..
Harrisons plan as practiced yesterday
was very simple. He touched n lighted
match to the whiskers and the office
seeker departed at once When Mayor
Harrison came TO his office in the after
noon IT was fairly choked with office
seekers. He had difficulty in forcing his
way to the door Of his private room, and
as he did 50 was followed closely by
Alderman Little Mick Ryan, who
wanted an Office for one of his consti-
tuents
Keep away, Little Mick; keep away,
boy, l say" remarked the Mayor, as he
raped on the door for admission The
Alderman smiled. as much as 10 say,
Its only his way; I am solid with him"
But the Mayor did not regard the matter
in just that way. for he repeated. go
away. Ryan. go away. I won't see you"
Some one inside opened the door and the
Mayor stepped over the threshold. Alder
man Ryan followed. and when Alr. Harri-
son attempted to close the door Ryan
put one foot inside and defeated tine
Mayors attempt TO bar him out. Mr..
Harrison looked at the Alderman. and ad-
yised him a third time TO 80 away.
His cigar had gone out, and he took a
match and reliehted his perfecto.
Alderman Ryan's head was thrust half
way in the door. His long gray beard
stuck out in a tantaliZing way. and quick
as a flash the Mayor jabbed the match
into the centre of IL. There was a puff

smell of burning hair and smudged cuticle

Alderman as he pranced about the floor

son paid no attention TO the matter. lie

work. just as If setting fire TO Alder

example John l.. set by instituting limited

MERRY NAY DAYS.
Where the May Pole Customs still
Prevail.


Some Of us remember the charming
account that Washington Irving gives of
May-day festivities in "merrie old Eng
! land" At the time Of his visit TO the
| mother country these festivities were
| still kept up although they sadly lacked
| the enthusiasm which made them so i'm
! portant a feature of the past England,
| however cherishes in her warm heart
| such a love of nature and beauty that she
| always welcomes the LIST Of May with
| demonstrations of some character. The
| dance around the May pole is. indeed, a
thing of the past but in London is still
| a carnival season.
In the olden time every church parish
| had it's May pole and We'd with every
other for the possession of the tallest
and most beautifully painted pole. in
France and I'm other parts of the CONT
ncnt. more especially in Germany in the
ne!ghborhood OF Munich. the Nay pole
customs prevail 10 some extent but In
England they have never entirely re-
covered from the onslaught made upon
them by the grim visaged Puritans. The
May pole that stood upon the Strand was
called by the Puritans "a remnant of vile
heathensm." and so persistent were they
in their hostility 70 these simple merry
mallings that in 1914 a Parliamentary ordi-
nance swept them all away. and Of course
the May pole of the Strand, which was
estimated 10 stand 100 feet high, was
doomed to destruction. The jollity Of the
Nav returned with the restoration. but
a busy people found little opportunity FOR
this pastime at the end Of the seventeenth
century.
one OF the London parishes takes its
name from the May pole that surmount-
ed its steeple-St. Andrew Understand.
Inis shaft or pole was cut down and de-
stroyed in the third year Of the reign OF
Edward VI In the golden days" when
Charles III. returned TO the throne OF
England. the May-pole Of the Strand,
which had been so ruthlessly destroyed,
was replaced with great ceremony and
rejoicing by a new and loftier one. This
pole was 13l feet high. and was erected
in the May Of 1861. The chronicles Of the
time state that IL was a most choice
remarkable piece" II was made below
the Bridge. and brought 10 Scotland
Yard. near ihe Kings palace, in two
parts and thence conveyed to the Strand.
II was painted in gorgeous colors, with
revolving figures at base and top, and
was richly gilded with the Kings arms.
A large hoop like balcony was set about
