The election is said to have been the
auietest affair of the kind ever held
i'm this precinct. The Amendment
was lost, chiefly we believe, through
the neglect of the ladies, in not being
on the ground and working for it. Our
President did not martial her forces
at all. We don't believe there is a
man in our precinct that could not
have been won over by the special eff
fort of some woman. Some who would
have voted for the Amendment just
forgot it. We heard of one man in
Usage township who believes in Equal
Suffrage, who has talked, worked and
prayed for the Amendment all sum-
mer, who says he would give five dol
lars rather than to have forgotten, as
he did do, to vote for it. That mans
wife should have accompanied her
husband to the polls. Her very pres
ence would have served toremind him
of his good intentions.

.eThe Girl I Left Behind Me-"


Although the song ''The Girl Left
Behind Me" is SO well known, it's au-
thorship is obscure. No one can tell
who wrote either the words or the
music. In this respect it is like a
good many songs, notably the old
ballad of ''The Baliff's Daughter
of Islington.' The song '"The Girl
Left Behind Me" has been the sol
diers and sailors loath to leave for
nearly a century, and it has been so
long played on men-of-war as they
weigh anchor and by the bands of
regiments as they quit towns where
they have been quartered that it's
omission would be regarded as a
slight upon the fair sex.
The song is doubtless of Irish orr
gin. Chappell, however, puts in an
English claim to the air, although he
admits it may be Irish. This author
ity thinks that it. was probably writ
ten about 175S, when there were en-
campments along the coast, where
many tunes of this sort originated.
Bunting supports the Irish theory.
He says the cir was taken down
from an Irish harper named O'Neil
in 1900, the author and date being
unknown. The song has been found
in manuscript dated 177O, but it's
true origin is yelled in obscurity.-

Master and Servant In China.

In China no feature Of society is
more curious than the relation be-
tween master and servant. IF the
servant be Of the military class, he
is admitted to the intimate society of
his master, but never assumes lib
erty. At dinner, having taken his
place with the utmost humility, he
takes part in the conversation, adj
dressing freely not only his master,
but also guests of the highest rank.
AS soon as the meal is over, how
ever, the servant retires, with the
most prof found obeisance and defer
enco, and in no way will he venture
to use his peculiar privilege until the
proper occasion permits. London

On the Hop.

A traveller in hops, when paying
his first visit to a famous brewery in
south Germany, was about to enter
the Office when he noticed a plate,
with the inscription, "Hop travellers
upstairs" Concluding therefrom that
a special room was set apart for in
terviewing travellers he took the
hint, and on reaching the top Of the
stairs he found himself in a long pas
sage, the walls of which were
adorned at intervals with the image
of a hand pointing in one direction.
At the end of the corridor another
hand pointed to a second fight of
steps, leading downward. At the
bottom of the steps hand pointed
to a door, which he opened and
found himself in the street. File
