HOW TO MARK YOUR BALLOT.
A Slight Change Effected in the Australian
Ballot system by the Legislature.

A Slight Change Effected in the Australian
Ballot system by the Legislature.
The recent legislature effected a
change in marking the ballot by the
voter as an indication of how he wants
to vote. The amendment to the cleo
tion law in reference TO this point is
given below:
On receipt of his ballot the elector
shall forthwith and without leaving the
polling place retire alone to one of the
booths provided, to prepare his ballot.
He shall prepare his ballot by marking a
cross or Y before the name of the person
for whom he intends to vote. After
preparing his ballot the elector shall
fol1 it 30 that the face of the ballot will
be concealed and so that TIE official
stamtp er.on can be seen. He shall
then forthwith, and before leaving the
polling place, deliver the same
to the judges of election who shall i'm
mediately in his presence deposit the
same in the ballot box.
See that the cross is placed before
the name of Judge Frank Smith for
Judge and G.. F. Drake for commissioner.

In the two years that Judge Frank
B. Smith has presided over the courts
in this circuit he has made record
which stands him in good hand during
the campaign and will be the means of
greetly increasing his his vote on elec-
tion day, which will result in again
placing him upon the bench of the
fourth circuit. Regardless of any par
tisan feeling Judge Smiths work has
been highly endorsed by good, honest
populists, who are so impressed with
his fairness, impartiality and integrity
that they will contribute their vote to
retaining him in his present position.
Aud they do this because they have
faith and confidence in Judge Smith
and they are not at all anxious for q
change. Every republican voter
should make it point to get out 10 the
polls next Tuesday and assume the duty
of seeing that Judge Smith gets the
full vote of his party, and with the sup
port of populists, who have a strong
liking for him, his election is certain
beyond a doubt.

to meet in convention in Mitchell, af-
ternoon and evening, Nov. II, 1897.
The convention will be held under the
joint auspices of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, and the
Mitchell Equal Suffrage Association.
Able speakers will be present, and an
entertaining, instructive program will

Four states, Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah and Idaho, haye already granted
full suffrage to women. while twenty
six additional states have admitted the
justice OF the claim by extending par
tial suffrage. The states which have
had full opportunity to observe the ad-
vantages of woman suffrage, unite in
the testimony that it has proved bene-
fetal in every direction. 1t has in nc
way Injured man, women or the state.
Instead, under its influence, women
| have become more intelligent and self.
reliant; good men have been eucourag.
ed by the moral aid of women, and
have sought the publication of politics,
which they were unable to accomplish
alone, while the state has gained a new
dignity by the introduction OF this
moral force
Important business concerning meth
DDS of work best suited to hasten the
establishment OF woman suffrage, il
order that the state may gain it's con
sequent good effects, will be considered
in the convention. The friends of suf
frage are invited to aid in the formation
of these plans: the Indifferent are in
vited to attend the sessions, that they
may be converted; and the opposed ar,
invited to participate in the discussion
presenting their side of the question
Everyone is invited. Come one! Com,

Old Time Servants.

Servants were servants away back i'll
1866, just as varied, i'll fact, as the
woman who bossed them, and both
were much as they are in this end Of
the century year Servants were fined
in those days for each trivial offense.
A penny was thought enough to fine a
servant who left open door that should
have been closed, and the same fine did
service for missing family prayers OF
leaving the beds Of the house unmade
later than 8 O'Clock in the morning.
The cook might have a beau, but she
had to pay fine every time he came of
a penny. If such rules were enforced
now, madam would find herself with
out lady help in short order. -Phila-

An Amiahle Greenhorn.

Mrs c. of Staten Island had in
her emYloya greenhorn. Her only quail
ification for the position Of waitress
which she possessed on her arrival in
this country was a pretty face She
was yoluble of speech and slow Of COM
prehension, and many housekeeper
would have given her marching orders
at the end of the first week, but Mrs.
G--ak,'ought there were the makings
of good servant in her, and SO kept
her.
After the girl had been with her a
month and had learned how to serve
soup without spilling it down the backs
of the diners Mr.. G. gave dinner,
to which We're invited two very digni-
fed people in whose home everything
ran with the smoothness of a chronom-
eter, and she was naturally anxious to
approximate that smoothness in the
service of her dinner.
For two courses everything went as
heart could wish. Bridget refrained
from speech, spilled not thing, was
attentive to the wants of the guests
and looked as pretty as a fresh young
Irish girl can, which is saying great
deal
But when she removed the fish and
attempted to take it down stairs to the
kitchen she tripped on the top step, and
with scream and a series Of bumps
and crashes she and the fish accomplish
ed the descent.
Mrs. G. and her family vainly
tried to keep from laughter There was
such cheerful bumpy sound'' in her
down going. The two dignifed guests
were adamant. They evidently heard
nothing. But even their risibles were
not proof against what followed. Mrs.
G. sat irresolute for moment, hop
ing that the girl would not require as
sistance. And she did not. In the rich
est of accents voice came up the base
ment stairs:
"Did ye hear me? Fell arl the way

Too Much EloquGnce.

In recent interview with Mark
Twain the following amusing story was
elected 1t seems that Twain once went
to hear missionary lecturer who had
worked among the poor The speaker
was eloquent. He drew picture Of a
starving family that brought tears from
his audience, and Mark Twain, who
happened to have four 500 bills with
him, said to himself, "I'll give one Of
those bills when the plate comes round. :"
The preacher continued, his story be-
came more piteous and narrowing, and
Mark Twain said, "I'll spare two Of
those bills. -
But still the tale Of woe went on, the
agony accommodating and accumulating
until Mark Twain exclaimed: "For
goodness sake send that plate round, so
that l can pour my sympathy into it.
I'll give all four bills, and I'll write a
check too.
But the lecturer rather overdid it.
'He went on talking and talking,
said Mark Twain as he told the story,
"and as he talked my enthusiasm calmed
and calmed, and the red flush Of my
sympathy became paler and paler. And
when he had been talking about half
an hour l had saved one of those bills,
and when he had talked five minutes
