A WARD HELLER.
paper by j. P. r. of Class e.

will endeavOr to picture to yOu as near as
my command of the English language will allow
an ideal ward heller, such as you may see around
the polls on any election day. Has anyone ever
heard the occupation of ward heller called a
profession? never have, nor have ever heard
it called trade; so guess we had best name it
calling; for, at the time his services are needed
he is frequently called-to the bar. To be a sue
cessful ward heller a man must be entirely desti-
tute of honor and scruples. He must have a
loud voice and be able to drink enough to float a
boat. He must dress in a loud suit of clothes,
wear dirty linen, use foul language and smoke
fouer cigars. He must have pull with the pO-
lice and have, as followers, all the toughs and
hoodlums in his ward. He must toady to his
superors. brOwbeat his followers. insult and in
timidate honest voters. Heis feared by children,
lOathed by women and despised by honest men.
In fact, to be ward heller, man must be one
of the most contemplate wretches on the face
of the earth.

Federal Force.

With action on the Federal election law pend
ing in Congress, it may be of historical interest
to some of our student readers to know that the
great rebellion or secession of 61'65 was not the
first but the last of several outbreaks against the
Federal power. In 1856 Captain Daniel Shay
headed an armed protest of many poor
people of Massachusetts, upon whose eX-
hausted financial condition the taxation i'm
posed was bearing too heavily. Even as Lincoln
was the head of the settlement of the great un-
pleasantneSs, so was a Lincoln (Benjamin) the
suppressOr of the first rebellion. In 1898 Penn
sylvania had an excise law obnoxious to some of
her worthy citizens, who, but lately having got
ten rid of England'S taxation, were in no mood
to surrender their rights to free whisky. Their
organization became so headstrong that in 1894
levies from Virginia, New York. Delaware and
New Jersey were made to put down this move
ment; but they never had any fighting to do for
the would-be rebels dispersed. Rhode Island
was the next to show INSTRUMENTATION under the
leadership of DOrr. The cause of trouble was
the old colonial charter which had certain feat

for time stubborn, in June 1912. John Brown

his head forward on the cushions OF the
pulpit at the close of his election SER
mon. Meanwhile Hester Prynne was
standing beside the scaffold of the pill
lory, with the scarlet letter still burning
on her breast
Now was heard again the clangor of
the music, and the measured tramp of
the military escort issuing from the
church door. The procession was to be
marshaled thence to the town hall,
where solemn banquet would COM
plete the ceremonies of the day.
Once more, therefore, the train of ven
cradle and majestic fathers was seen
moving through broad pathway of the
people, who drew back reverentIy, ON
either side, as the governor and magis-
trates, the old and wise men, the holy
ministers, and all that were eminent
and renowned, advanced into the midst
of them. When they were fairly in the
market place their presence was greeted
by a shout. This-though doubtless it
might acquire additional force and vol
ume from the childlike loyalty which
the age awarded to its rulers-was
felt to be an irrepressible outburst
Of enthusiasm kindled in the auditors
by that high strain of eloquence which
was yet reverberating in their ears.
Each felt the impulse in himself and
in the same breath caught it from his
neighbor. Within the church it had
hardly been kept down; beneath the sky
it pealed upward to the zenith. There
were human beings enough and enough
Of highly wrought and symphonious
feeling to produce that more impressive
sound than the organ tones of the blast,
or the thunder, or the roar of the sea-
even that mighty swell of many voices
blended into one great voice by the uri-
versal impulse which makes likewise one
vast heart OUT of the many. Never from
the soil of New England had gone I'D
such shout! Never on New England
soil had stood the man so honored by his
mortal brethren as the preacher!
How Jared it with him then? Were
there not the brilliant particles of halo
in the air about his head? So ethereal
lied by spirit as he was, and so apothe-
osized by worshiping admirers, did his
footsteps i'll the procession really tread
upon the dust of earth?
As the ranks Of military men and
civil fathers moved onward, all eyes
were turned toward the point where the
minister was seen to approach among
them. The shout died into a murmur
as one portion of the crowd after an
other obtained glimpse of him. How
feeble and pale he looked amid all his
triumph! The energy-or say, rather,
the inspiration which had held him up
until he should have delivered the sacred
message that brought its own strength
along with it from heaven-was with
drawn, now that it had so faithfully
performed itsApfice The glow, which
they had just before beheld burning on
his cheek, was extinguished like a fame
that sinks down hopelessly among the
late-decaying embers. 1t seemed hardly
the face of a man alive, with such a
deathlike hue; it was hardly a man
with life in him that tottered on his
path so nervelessIy, yet tottered, and
did not fall!

Pursuing a zigzag course across the
market place the child returned to her
mother and communicated what the
mariner had said. Hester's strong,
calm, steadfastly enduring spirit almost
sank at last on beholding this dark and
grim countenance of an inevitable doom,
which-at the moment when passage
seemed to open for the minister and her.
self out of their labyrinth of misery
showed itself with an unrelenting smile
right in the midst of their path.
With her mind harassed by the ter
rible perplexity in which the shipmas-
ter's intelligence involved her, she was
also subjected to another trial. There
were many people present, from the
country round about, who had often
heard of the scarlet letter, and to whom
it had been made terrific by hundred
false or exaggerated rumors, but who
had never beheld it with their own
bodily eyes. These, after exhausting
other modes of amusement, now
thronged about Hester Prynne with
rude and boorish intrusiveness. I'm
scrupulOus as it was, however, it could
not bring them nearer than a circuit of
several yards. At that distance they
accordingly stood, fixed there by the
centrifugal force of the repugnance
which the mystic symbol inspired The
whole gang of sailors, likewise, observ-
ing the press of spectators and learning
the purport of the scarlet letter, came
i
do looking f, ,ces into the ring.
Even the Indians were affected by
sort of cold shadow of the white mans
curiosity, and gliding through the crowd
fastened their snakelike black eyes on
Hester's bosom, conceiving, perhaps,
that the wearer of this brilliantly en-
broidered badge must needs be person
age of high dignity among her people.
Lastly the inhabitants of the town (their
own interest in this worn out subject
languidly reviving itself by sympathy
with what they saw others feel) lounged
idly to the same quarter and tOrmented
Hester Prynne, perhaps more than all
the rest, with their cool, we'll acquainted
gaze at her familiar shame. Hester saw
and recognized the self same faces of
that group Of matrOns who had awaited
her forthcoming from the prison door
seven years ago, all save one-the young
est and only compassionate among them
whose burial robe she had since made.
At the final hour, when she was so soon
to fling aside the burning letter, it had
strangely become the center of more
remark and excitement, and was thus
made to scar her breast more painfully
than at anv time since the first dav she
put it on.
While Hester stood in that magic
circle of ignominy, where the cunning
cruelty Of her sentence seemed to have
fixed her forever, the admirable preacher
was looking down from the sacred pull
pit upon an audience whose very inmost
spirits had yielded to his control. The
sainted minister in the church! The
woman of the scarlet letter in the market
place! What imagination would have
been irreverent enough to surmise that
the same scorching stigma was on them

coaches, all the most elegant, and of
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
plOyes are important items. They are
a double duty-to the Company and to
travellers and it is sometimes task
difficult of accomplishments. Passen-
gers on this line will find little cause
for complaint on that ground.
The Importance of this Line can be
better understood if short lesson in
geography be now recited.

Thy Kingdom come-on Bonded knee
The passing ages pray,
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that Kingdoms day.
But the slow watches of the night
Not less to God belong,
And for the everlasting Right
The silent stars are strong.
And, lol already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Grid up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near.
The day in whose clear shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed,
When Justice shall be throned in might,
And every hurt be healed
When knowledge, hand in hand with Peace
Shall walk the earth abroad
The day of perfect righteousness,
