United States Senator are conspicuous
for their absence.
The Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express an opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the
interests of the Diamond State in the
councils of the nation.
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any State within the history OF the
nation.
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at the head OF this

lish the number of votes received by each
candidate every day in order to keep the
voters posted.
THE SUN also makes this offer: The
winner in this contest has the privilege
of naming any charity in the State to be
the recipient of one hundred dollars,
which will be paid to the said charity by
The Sun.
The contest will continue until the
first ballot is taken in the Legislature.
There is no law or requirement which
makes it necessary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, though we would
rather You would. They will be counted
just the same, however, if you do not
wish your opinions known.

SPANS QUEEN REGENT.
A Remarkable Woman Whom Other
Women Must Instinctiyely Love.

Every woman of Spain, Spanish or
American, that I have met, has a
special shrine in her heart for the
queen, of whom they speak with the
same alteration with which the aver
age English woman mentions Queen
Victoria, or the average Dutch wom-
an Queen Emma. My American
Spanish friends tell me she has to the
most extraordinary degree the royal
endowments of tact and good sense.
Many of the grandees of Spain are of
far older birth and family than the
Austrian princess whom Alfonso IL
chose to take the place Of his gentle
little cousin Mercedes after her death.
Think of Marie Antoinette and the
French, and then Of this young Aus
/ trian going to a land whose language
even she had scarcely ever heard, and
where she must win not only her peo-
pies, but her husbands heart; for we
all remember that in the beginning
all the young kings tenderness was
buried in the grave Of his child-wife.
Marie Christine conquered first her
husbands love, closed his eyes in his
last sleep, and then bravely and nobly
waited alone until the time of her
trial was ended and the posthumous
heir to the throne was born
By far the hardest part of her task
| lay before her then-to reconcile the
various Spanish parties, to make for
| liberalism without alternating the re-
dictionary party of the monarchy, and
to take her place as queen without
offending the pride of those naughty
grandees that we know so well
through our own Motley, on the look
out for the least opportunity to criti-
else ''the Austrian" and above all, to
be jealous Of her influence over the
young king. Has ever any woman in
modern times more bravely and sue
cessfully accomplished more hercu-
lean task? 1t is only through her
wonderful care that the little king is
alive. He is remarkably delicate
| child, but not the imperious and
naughty little person that legend rep
resents him, | am told. On the con-
trary, he has naturally very sweet
disposition, and is tractable and kind
His health improves constantly as he
grows older.-Paris Letter in Harper
Bazaar.

WANTED THE GLORY HERSELF.
Miss Lennon Objects to Course of
Her Feminine Legal Adviser.

Whether or not it is a real wrong
to steal another persons thunder is
question that troubles the legal
mind of Florence King, patent at
torney, whose Office is on the fifteenth
floor of the Monadnock building.
Two days ago Miss King, who has
blue eyes and faxen hair, wanted to
lead the "Woman's Klondike club"
in it's search for Alaskan nuggets.
The day before yesterday she was
confronted with an obstacle con-
sisting of a statement issuing from
the lips of Lillian Lennon, the real
founder of the club.
Miss Lennon, a few days ago,
gave to her friends formulated plan
for organizing Woman's club Of gold
seekers to go to the gold fields in the
early spring. Miss King was among
the first to apply for membership and
Miss Lennon embraced the oppor-
tunity Of having a legal adviser right
in the family.
Miss King visited the offices of the
daily papers, explained the purposes
of the club, was written up and pic
tured in Thursdays issues, and then
came trouble. Miss Lennon was
angered. With her carefully laid
plans and her $4,000 backing, she sat
in room 1926 Monadnock building,
and wondered why the women who
wanted information didn't call for it..
Miss King, ON the floor above, was
interviewing applicants for member
ship by the score.
Then the clash came, and a little
later Miss King was induced by Miss
Lennon to say that the whole thing
was a mistake; that Miss Lennon
was the real head of the club, and
had been so from the start.
Miss Lennon is determined if any
face hereafter figures in two-column
newspaper cuts in connection with
the Womaf7s KIondike club that face
shall not be the face Of Miss King

HYDROPHOBIA
is AS OLD AS HORACE AND
VIRGIL
ARE TWO KINDS OF RABIES
WellKnown Veterinary Surgeons
Summary of the characteristics
of the Dread Disease

That all possible light on the subject of
rabies may be given the public, a communi-
cation from DIR. r. J. Wthers, including
historical data symptoms and other valu-
able information concerning the disease,
follows:
Judging from the fact that historical
accounts of the existence of rabies date
back 400 years before the Christian era, it
is not untenable to presume that it has
existed from time immemorial. Arist otle
wrote that all animals bitten by affected
animals became rabid in the end. Virgil
Horace and others made mention of ii in
their writings; and it was about that time
the name of hydrophobia was used to eX-
press the pathological disturbance. Dur
ing the dark ages the thread of its history
is dropped, but caught up again during the
twelfth century and thenceforth to the
present time it has prevailed throughout
all civilized countries in enzootic form.
Toward the end of the last century and the
beginning of this, it became nearly epi-
zootic in extent and rewards were offered
for the discovery of cure, which stimu-
lated research and experiments and the
efforts of Hertwig, Chabert and Hunter
established its infectious character and
thereby laid the foundation for correctly
studying its et!ology and pathology.
Prior TO this time it was supposed to
