HOW THE FRENCH DEPUTIES VOTE

Ihey Need Not De Present and They
Vote for Each Other.
Paris Letter in London Daily News.
Absenteeism in the chamber Of deputies
Is becoming more and more serious evil.
and 1t Is hard to say whether the French
system of voting by proxy does not rather
increase it than minimize 1t. The word
absenteeism" do not mean to use in a
literal sense. The members are in the
Palais Bourbon, but they are in the Hobbies,
the library, the committee rooms, the bar
rooms drinking free glasses of beer. Be-
lore leaving the chamber they tell a COL
league, If anything happens you may vote
| in my stead"
In writing for English papers we talk of

what takes place. Deputies do not divide,

member will sometimes vote of his own
accord for colleague whom he misses
sometimes three or four will each go and
vote Tor the same person. Among the good
stories of the chamber of deputies it is
related that on several occasions the num-
Der of votes recorded was greater than a

a bill being misunderstood by a colleague
In that case the person VINO has been made

dent and notification is sent 10 the Jour

Yesterday the question of proxy voting
came up incidentally. The socialist deputy
Viviani was making some remarks about
the Bank of France charter when he
noticed that the chamber was empty, ard
he moved that the sitting be adjourned for
an hour This drastic proposal was ILL
received, 1t being usual in such a case to
send out whips without stopping proceed
irgs. NJ. Brisson, before putting the res
olution to tho vote, endeavored to sub
stltute milder one. He asked Viviani to
allow him to adjourn the sitting, but to
quorum But the socialist member insisted
ON MS resolution being moved One Of his
friends. Marcel Habert. remarked that
there were not 50 members present, but
that more than 500 voting cards would be
found In the boxes. NJ. Viviani's motion
was put. and lost by 391 to 1875 This literal
fulfllment of NJ Habert's prophecy was re-

away with the system. I am told one of

California; Asphalt Fields.

Los Angeles Letter to the New York San.
The plant of the California Asphalt Com
pany at Ventura, Ventura county, is being
rapidly pushed to completion. Its output
will be about 800 barrels of refined asphalt
per day. The asphalt beds of California
are beginning to attract much attention.
An officer of the state mining bureau. who
has been examining the asphalt beds of
the Sisquoc country, San Luis Obispo coun-
ty. says they form one of the largest fields
ever discovered. California asphalt is now
being tested on the streets of Paris and of
Glasgow to compare it with the supply
from other sources. 1t is an asphaItic
sandstone, while that from Trinidad is an
asphaltic limestone. which is said to he
much inferior to the California product, as
1t cracks when used for paving The total
value of the output of asphaltic products
In California last year was $4S5 600.

"At the foot of the stairs in the front

something from that, but I didn't. 1t

And it was; and ii was coming down
the stairs at me and filling up the whole

Even then I didn't see that the one
coming down had anything to do with
the one down on the floor, and at the
same time I couldn't understand why
anybody should roll anything like a
feather bed down on anybody; bulky,
to be sure, burt so light that it was an
easy thing to stop.
II put up my hands to stop this one,
but might just as well have tried to

squashy on the outside, but it weighed a

TRAMPvILLE, THE RESTFuL
Once n Deserted Village, Now Peo-

Once n Deserted Village, Now Peo-
pied by Men Who Don't Pay Rent.
Trampvillc, Wis, cannot be found in
the postal guide, nor is it shown On
any railroad map, but 1t exists, never
theless, with an average population OF
not less than 200 souls.
Trampville is situated in Douglass
county, on q clearing cut out of dense
pine forest where the river Brule gives
up its ripping waters into Lake SUI
perior. 1t is called Trampville because
it is the home of tramps exclusively,
and has been for nearly three years.
Previous to that time its name was
known as Clevedon, but that name is
| seldom heard now.
Clevedon was founded about Is years
ago, by syndicateof English capitalists
whose scheme was to build up lake
port town to rival Duluth and Superior.
Neat little cottages, handsome store
buildings, boarding houses, and a hotel
and a woodworking mill equipped with
expensive machinery for the manufac-
ture of hardwood products were con-
structed in remarkably short time.
The town was built, however, before a
tide of migration had been turned to-
ward it, and it seemed difficult to in
duce people with more or less capital
to believe that in Clevedon they would
find their fortunes. Nevertheless, 900
or 1000 persons settled there. But these
persons discovered after n few months
that the bubble was no more; that the
great resources of the town had failed
of development. They left the place,
and Clcvedon, the magic city, dropped
into the lethargy Of deserted village.
The tramp discovered Tralupville
about three years ago. He took pos
session Of it in the name of his tribe,
and the revival of the village from that
time on hns been healthy, though per-
haps not very clean.
They lived there 300 strong last win
ter and no cases Of starvation have
been reported. They say they lived upon
fish taken out of Lake Superior and deer
that abound in the region. Others say
they robbed the henhouses of the farm
ers thereabout.
The big frame building once used "a Il
hotel now is the principal roosting
place of the inhabitants of the town.
Its lobby, a great old-fashioned fire.
place, serves the purposes of kitchen,
smoking-room, and every night during
the winter great rolls of smoke come
from the chimney, while dozens of
seedy individuals huddle about the

while grim rocks responsive ring to the

Through your ripples as you flow silver

Your gold tresses like girls decked with

And the countless flashing gems which
only water naiads know.
sweet the flowers which nod and drink al
YOUR cool and messy brink,
And the silver chains you make and
wreathe around you link by link:
Sweet the shadows shy which play meath
YOUR spangled wells of spray.
And the silver ingots falling in your pool
with CHEEKY clink.
when a care-free. laughing boy partook
OF all your joy.
And my merriment was free as yours from
evil or alloy;
gether played.
When the stern old rocks relaxed to hear
the music that we made.
As see you in my dreams. you no older

your priceless shower of jewels Just as

Each mirror brings to me scenes my
eyes yet love to see,
And these later years are gladdened by the
light that used to be.
