sTUFFING AN OLD-TIME BALLOT
BOX.


Many will still remember the Curl
Gus old-fashioned ballot boxes. One
is still carefully preserved in the cleo
ton bureau, a souvenir of the Tweed
regime. 1t consists of very heavy
glass bowl set in a heavy and some
what ornate iron frame. The bowl
has large, round opening at the
top through which the ballots were
dropped. The survivor at police
headquarters now contains number
of goldfish, use for which it is adj
mlrably adapted. One of tho Oldest
and most trusted officials of the cleo
ton bureau recalls having seen, when
boy, a use, or rather an abuse. of
one Of these boxes not wholly au-
thoriZed even at that time. During
an election in this city, a political
leader and all-around tough character
placed himself in a position so that. as
he leaned upon table in the polling
place, his hand fell carelessly across the
edge of the opening in the glass bowl.
From his closed hand slowly descended
into the ballot box a stream of ballots
of the small, tightly-folded kind then in
use. An exclamation from the boy re-
suited in his being pitched head-nrst
into the street, a sadder and wiser lad.
but with his confidence in the purity of
the ballot considerably shaken, Pos
sibly that lesson in some degree
shaped his subsequent career and
accounts in a measure for the integrity
and zeal with which he has since served
the city in the election bureau for more
than 20 years.--Avery d. Andrews. in
the February Scribner's.

She had eaten some Of the
chicken before she encountered
enough of the poison, which in
vestigation proved to have been
placed upon it, to be able to de-
tect it. She became very sick
and physician was at once
summoned. Mrs. Jackson had
not eaten enough TO affect her
seriously. but her condition IL

GUS shock caused by the terrible
discovery and her realization Of
her narrow escape.

Predictions about the horse
less age have been called in. The
armies of the world alone absorb
an immense number. The price
of cavalry and artillery horses in
this country has doubled within
a few months. Horses in the
Northwestern states are no longer
quoted at 800. Cavalry horses in
New York have raised from $50
to S12o and the standard has
been slightly lowered as to age
and height. The government,
by the way. never buys a horse
whose tail is locked or other
wise changed from its natural
shape.
