There can be but one reason for the
disaster which befell the Republican
candidates IN the First and Third Wards
at yesterdays election. Many Of the
stalwarts Of the party who should not
only have gone to the polls and voted,
but who should have worked for the
SUCCESS Of their candidates, remained in
seelusion and manifested not the
slightest interest in what was going on.
The successful candidates are all good
men, and will doubtless fill with credit
the positions to which they were
elested.

minded him of having one day read
MS poem to his class He then said:

Smooth your hair behind your ear.
You are growing careless, dear;

Five and sixty years ago"

Or that all her time was spent
Sewing patchwork in her youth.

burglar, "and once I served a term on

in the western part Of the state and

He stared at me a little and then he

that seemed to tickle him immensely;
he threw up his legs and his arms.

'Goo-o-o-,' but that was enough.

woke up instantly but she began to

white dog belonging to him came
running up with a bone in its mouth
which he deposited on one Of the
hewn logs. The men seemed inter
ested at once. As the bone seemed to
be an old one they all examined it
all except Mr. Monks. No one could
tell what kind of a bone it was, and
one of the men handed it to Mr..
Monks, with the remark:
Here, Mr.. Monks, you are the
authority in this eghborhood-tell
us what kind of a bone this is"
Mr. Monks seemed agitated, but took

He Didn't Like 1t.
A little boy of between 6 and years
of age, tidily dressed and with his hair
neatly brushed, was one of the many
new Corners who started to school last
Monday. For an hour the pretty sto-
ries the teacher read and the strange
ness of his surroundings kept him at
tentive, but finally the novelty began
to wear off, and he became restless and
dissatisfied. His thoughts began to
wander to a little playmate, and, ris-
ing fearlessly and innocently from his
seat, he marched to the teachers desk
and said:
4 want to go to Bessie"
'But, Freddie" exclaimed the teach
er, you cannot see Bessie now, for
she is very busy. Wait until recess
and then you can go to her"
This seemed to satisfy him and he
returned to his seat. When recess
came one of the first ones out was
Freddie All over the grounds he
hunted, and finally he espied the OBJ
ject of his search and admiration. Go
ing up to her he sadly whispered:
Let's so home, Bessie. I've had

The little girl, somewhat better
versed il school tactics, told him it
would rot do to go then, and that he
must wait until noon. She then turned
