A TRAMp.S

Yes. | am only a tramp, and don't
try To conceal il. You siam the do0i
in my face and the height of T0wser's
ambition is TO reduce my clothing to
a minimum. Some times he succeeds
and then proudly relates the victory
to his fellow CANNES.
| am a creature Of circumstances,
having strayed from the parental roof
with the idea that the world owed me
a living and that it was my mission
to secure that living as best l could.
That my path is not strewn with
sweet-scented roses and other species
Of the floral kingdom | admit, except
that the thorns have n peculiar affni-
ty for me.
| am a man of affairs and my travels
and experiences would, If embalmed,
furnish some excellent groundwork
for a novel. Some enterprising pub
Usher take note.
My wardrobe is the embodiment Of
simplicity, and | have recently been
decorated with hOnOrs by a society OF
dress reformers.
am a devotee to things athletic
my usual course is a brisk walk before
breakfast as an apetiser and a sun
bath before dinner. In preparing my
toilet | am very particular and a COM
plete tOnsorial equipment is always
with me.
In matters political l am proud to
be an advocate Of free silver, and l
think a liberal form Of government is
the proper thing. To me the free soup
house is n of the most worthy in
of modern times. Long life
to It's founder.
My experience with human nature
has been varied indeed. One thing is
very apparent, and that is that many
people live too quick. They worry
over trif1es or endcavOr to prevent
ineyitables.
How often have | seen that finger
of scorn pointed at me, or that sug-
gestive look which means ''move on"
| am to blame you say? Well, maybe,
but be not too hasty in passing judy
ment. Cherry pie? No, thanks; my
physician has forbidden me to look at
pastry. Enlargement Of the heart is a
very serious at1liction, you know.

A VOTING

Wallace II. Phelps, editor of the
Daily Review of Alliance, O., has
invented a voting machine. The ma
chine keeps a correct registry OF the
number of votes cast at an election,
gives the number Of votes which each
candidate has received as soon as the
polls close, and itself makes as many
tally sheets as arc wanted with ab.
solute correctness. 1t is very compact
and simple, occupying a case about Is
by 80 inches, and it is not expensive
to manufacture. The voter by the use
OF this machine is enabled to vote
either IA "straight' or a mixed" tick.
ct, and only a moment or two is re.
qulred in voting. II he votes a
straight" licked he touches but a
single button; II a linked" ticket,
then a button for each candidate for
whom he wishes TO vote. The vote is
not cast finally, however, until one of
the judges of election touches a lever.
The machinery Is securely locked IN.
I'll the judge Of election permits its
use, and remains locked after the
election is over, showing within itself
the vote in detail, as long as may be
desired. No ballots are used with the
machine, and no counting out" is re-
qu'red. But one clerk will be necces-
sary In using the machine, and within
five minutes after the polls close the
vote Of the precinct is known and can
be sent out.

He stitch down to rest at MONDAY

He walketh through the streets OF

Canton Picket.
An editor in a pcnsiye mood felt the
following flowing through his thought
sieve and caught it for his readers:
"Take a walk with us through any
Of the cemeteries of the country and
you will believe that fools are passing
away. You pass the last resting place
of the mar who blew in an empty gun,
and the tombstone of the woman who
lighted the fire with kerosene. a grass
carpeted mound covers the man who
took the mule by the tail. The mon.
ument Of the boy who didn't know it
was loaded o~vcrshadows the mans
who jumped from the train to save a
ten yard walk. Side by side lay the
aesthetic creature who kept her corset
laced to the last hole and the intelli.
gent idiot who rode a bicycle nine
miles in ten minutes. Here reposes
the doctor who took his own medi-
cine. Down there in the potters field
with his feet sticking out to the cold
blasts Of winter and the blistering
rays of the summer sun, are stretched
the remains Of the editor, while the
broken bones of the man who refused
to pay for his paper are piled in the
corner of the fence. Over by the gate
SOFTLY rests the woman who kept
strychnine in the cupboard with the
baking powder. The fool killer gath.
crs them in n by one, and by and by
we would have a pretty decent world
