took all his little kindnesses as n matter

acts the courteous gallant whispered 10
his fair one for a moment, and she nod
al her head affirmativcly. The young
laan arose and went out of the theater
through door leading to an adjoining
candy store. He returned a few minutes
later accompanied by cOlOred boy in
white coat and apron, who carried in
orc hand a tray with a glass Of soda
water upon il and in the other a napkin.
He stood in the aisle while the young
luan besought his lady to refresh herself
with the glass Of soda. The eyes Of the
entire audience were upon them. The

On one occasion Queen Victoria, Louis
Philippe and the Duke Of Wellington
paid visit TO EtOn college. They were
invited TO sign the visitors book. The
French king thoughtlessly took up the
pen and signed his name at the top Of
the page. Etiquette, however, forbade
Qaeen Victoria to sign her name under
any other. She therefore signed ON the
top of the next page. She then took up
the pen and handed il TO the Duke Of
Wellington, who was SO excited at the
contretemps that he actually signed his
name "Weggington. And, by the way,
it may be recorded that etiquette forbids
the queen TO converse with tradesmen.
When a purveyOr waits upon her, the
queen addresses her remarks to an
equerry, who in turn addresses the ex
pectant merchant t-Philadelphia Times

for their unwillingness to state their age.

and clearing of throats, as Of people suf

could be heard in the courtroom was

Through the amiability Of the magis-

tribunals are not always so lenient. On
another occasion a magistrate asked a
woman:

Mus. Have Dsnnltsiy A.ssriainea Bound-

erles-An Important Circular.
The following communication from
Chairman william N. o. Dawsen,of the
West Virginia Republican state COM
niittee, explains itself:
1t has come 10 my notice. that. in
some counties where election precincts
have been, established since the election
of 1891, the order Of the court SO doing
Is inadequate. For instance, IN In
creasing hesnumber OF precincts in a
district in more than one county, the
courts order simply gives the boan-
daries Of the new precinct. II follows
that Il Is impossible TO ascertain the
boundaries OF the other precincts in
that district In increasing or decreas-
Ing the number OF precincts In q dis
itrict, II would be well for the court 70
recite the boundaries of all precincts
In the district. The law, contemplates
that each precinct have definitely as
certained boundaries.
The voting place In each precinct
should be named and definitely descrlb-
ed--the exact building, and II the
building contain more than one room or
division. the room or division should
be described.
Certainty OF boundaries and voting
places is necessary to comply with the
law Immediately after describing the
boundaries OF precinct, describe the
voting place-thus:
Precinct No. beginning at (etc',
naming the boundarlesl.
Voting place In the north-eas room
on the second floor of the court house
OF this county: three booths:
No change can be made later than
,,InAfy dava taAfore the election, nor
without one months published notice
(see Acts 1856, section 6. page 1O). AS
the county court is not court OF record
in a legal sense, and as nothing Will be
presumed except what their order
shows, the order should show that no.
tice was published and posted as re-
-uuired; and the evidence of this should
be the newspaper publishers certih7
cate. and the sherlft's return on copy
of the notice stating when and where
he posted notice. II would be well to
recite these In the courts order.
Assessors are now required TO list
voters in their precincts. Therefore,
all changes In precincts should be made
before April /: and for the Information
of assessors and voters, 1t would be
we'll to publish the precinct boundaries
with their voting places, IN the newspa,
pers of the county, and have GOOD
number OF these copies printed OIL to
be used later on.
The general election law of the state
will be found in code 1891, page 81 to 81

ments thereto in Acts of 1893, pages

washington Post: Ex-Speaker Grow,
of Pennsylvania, is the fether of the
homestead law. The other day the ex-
sneaker and Representative Mercer
we're sitting side by side on the floor.
'sWhiIe you are the father of the
homestead law said Mercer Il used
TO live In the district IN which resided

patent IN the United States. His name
il Daniel Freeman, and he now lives
at Beatrice. Nehraslta.p

was q soldier in the Union army; he
obtained d furlough to go to his nome
at Brownville, Nebraska, to spend New
Years The homestead act went into eff
feet ON the first day of January. Free
mans furIorgh did not extend beyond
the one day. He, was under orders TO
reip!n his regiment the next morning.
But he wanted to file his claim on a
homestead before leaving for the war,
and besides was desirious Of enjoying
the distinction of being the first man In
the United States to avail himseif OF
the privilege. But the land Office was
closed because II was a hondayt anu
Fireman was in great distress or minc
untii ii occurred to hisa TO hunt up the
land office official.
"There was a big ball going on that
evening. and Freeman found the Reg
lister among the dancers. He told him
what he wanted. and the official con-
sentei 10 open the Office and receive his
application as soon as the clock struck
twelve midnight. At.that hour the en-

tramped over to the land Office and witt

O'clock the formality was over, and
the dancers returned to the hall to con.

morning Freeman was again on his way

the benefit OF his homestead.

The following, on the aforementioned,
and they will dominate the campaign,
NAV he regarded as dorbtf,l.

Six of these states. however. are not
as doubtful as they appear to be. as 1t is
not probable that California, Delaware
Kansas, Oregon. Washington and Utah
will reverse the majorities they have
recently given for protection, no matter
how radical at least FIVE of them may be
on the silver question.
It win be noted that the combined list
OF doubtful and certain Democratic
states would fall forty-two short
OF the vote of the reason-
ably sure Republican states. Should
the Democrats carry all the doubtful
states, something which is not likely.
they would require New York TO give
them a bare majority 1t is safe to say
that the PopulIsts and Republicans will
get a fair proportion OF tho doubtful
states.
II the Republican party goes before the
country on platform declaring for
sound money in unamblguols language,
ana for the protection the country voted
for In 1884 and %. there Is no doubt 81
the result, The people are ready to vote
on these issues and they win vote for the
party whose record has taught them 10
have confidence in Il as the friend Of the
business and industrial interests OF the
country.
