Selling Their Votes.

The Albany Argus makes the following
suggestive statement:
TT Is estimated that one third OF the
voters in this State demand money on
election-day. and that In several Of the
county towns the evil has assumed even
greater proportions In certain wards In
Albany fully two thirds Of the voters
want money for their votes"
No wonder Rev. Lyman Beecher or
his brother once proposed that every
candidate should be permitted TO purchase
as many votes as he could. The same
condition of things mentioned by the
Argus is said to obtain In several, II not
all. Of the New England States

Treating In New Mexico Is Fraught With

The man from New Mexico and his

tho palatial saloons of Chicago The dis

"Whero's your beeswax?" asked the

wax marks on the glass about so far
apart. Then he fills the glass with liq-
nor to tho rim of the glass. The first
man in the party drinks down to the
first beeswax mark, and then he passes
tho glass TO tho noxt man, and he drinks
down to the second beeswax mark, and
the third man drinks to the bottom Of
the glass. 1t amt safe for man to &C

Sheriff Redgrave has another thrill
ing experience that no relates occasion.
ALLY, and it illustrates his fertility of
resource in time of great emergency
and reveals to some extent tho reasons
for his popularity and advancement in
the estimation Of his fellow citizens.
He was up In the Caribou country MANI
years ago and stumbled into camp of
Indians where there was an epidemic Of
smallpox raging. 1t would never do for
Ihim to return home after having been
Exposed to that contagion, and 10 also
was incumbent on him as man with
a sympathetic heart TO try to stamp out
the terrible disease. He and his friend
pondered over the situation for long
time. and at last plan came to them.
''How do you suppose wo stamped
that smallpox out?" the sheriff says as
he tells the story.
"Well, il was this way. Neither Of
JUS had any medical education, and If
i've had it wouldn' have done any good,
for we had no remedies with us, and it
kvould havo been impossible to make
those Indians take any medicine. What
DO you think we did? We just rounded
IMP all the Indians that had the disease,
Ind when we were sure that we had ev-
Wy one Of them and had burned all
their objects wo buried all the Indians up
to their neoks in tho ground and left them
the-e for tAe night. The next morning
we came around to see how they were
getting along, and-would you believe
it?-the wolves had come during the
hight and had eaten of tho heads of ev-
cry ono OF those Indians. That stamped
hut the epidemic in that whole section,
and to this day there has never been

rough treatment, but ever since then
