THEATRICAL NU1sANCEs.
Cutting Rebulxe to BibuIOus Men by
the Useful ChaperOne.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t happened not so very long ago. Three
girls had come to the theater together, and
they with the usual feminine impedimenta
of coats and hats and opera glasses, quite
filled up the three end seats near the middle
aisle.
Beyond them sat three men, who had also
come to the theater together.
They arrived late. after the curtain had
gone up, in fact and the girls had to gather
up hats, programmes and all, and rise to
let the other trio file past them.
That was all right. Not one word was
said, and both parties settled quietly down
to enjoy the play.
But at the end of the first act the men
wanted to go out. There were one or two
sy masculine feet tramped to and fro across
the skirts and toes Of their neighbors. but
the groanS were smothered. and everything
looked as merry as could be.
But no sooner had the curtain dropped
on the second act than once more the three
arose, grabbed their hats and signifed that
they wished to depart again. This time the
girls looked wrathy. But never a word said
they. They rose in stolid silence Even
when a dainty bit of crimson velvet head
gear was knocked TO the floor by a switch
ing coat tail and kicked three seats away,
not a protest passed their lips
Back came the men, and for the fifth time
did the long-sunering women folk grip their
possessions and arise
This must surely be the last time" muir
INJURED the young chaperone. "Ughi just
smell themi They certainly must know they
can't drink any more without getting drunk,
and as to cigars why don't they buy better
ones!"
But the hope was false. The curtain went
down on the third act a exactly the same
moment that the three men arose from their
seats.
To their surprise the girls sat still.
win you please let US pass?" asked the
foremost man Of the one nearest him It
happened to be the chaperone, and with
all the dignity Of her two months old we'd
ding ring. she gazed blankly up at him.
"Pass?" she murmured, sweetly; why I
thought we had let you pass five times al
ready. We're very tired Don't YOU think you
could use somebody else TO climb Over?"
The man looked at his comrades, and as
IL moved by springs. the three sat down.
And what is more. they staid there The
other two girls patted the plucky one on
the head and presented her with q box of
candy next day and after the play was
over three women Of different parties in
the neighborhood of those seats leaned over
and thanked her for what she had done.

The "oldest old maid in the
United States" Aunt Peggy Bal
ley, has just died in Monument
City, Ind, at the age of liz. She
was a constant tobacco user, hsv-
ing smoked a pipe from the age
of eight years, but always used
tobacco raised and cured on the
home farm. Up to two months
ago, when she became blind, deaf,
dumb and partly insane, she was
in excellent health and retained
all her faculties. She gave as a
reason for her spinsterhood that
getting married is a serious
thing, and I never thought l wan
ted to take any such chance" She
had a brother in Kentucky and an
other in Ohio, both of whom have
passed the 10O-yesr mark. If
Peggy had been up to snuff, she
would not have been q smoker,
and might have lived to a good
old age.-Picayune.

No Protection For Primary
Election.
Picaynne.

Piosynne. 7fsiI
The Shreveport Times cites act
No. 70 of the Legislature of 1890
as a law for the protection of pri-
mary elections. s3f he 1e''r q
This act provides, section 3, as
follows: ' @ePt .di p. ..4r9'1i
Be it further enacted. etc., That any
person or persons who shall directly or
indirectly give or offer to give any sum
or sums Of money, bride, present. re-
ward. contract, obligation. or anything
Of value to any voter or voters with tho
purposes or with the intent OF inducing
or influencing such voter or voters to
vote in any primary election. mass meet
ing, convention or other political gath
ering, for any person or measure with
partially or favor, or any voters accsp-
ting, or agreeing to accept any such
money. bride, reward or present, or any
other thing Of value with intent there
for to vote for or againet any person or
persons or measure as aforesaid shall
be guilty Of bribery, and on conviction
shall be imprisoned not less than six
months or more than three years, and
fined not less than s25 nor more than
$1,000. -.' '' '''"
It should be observed that this
| is not a law to protect and pre-
serve the purity of primary cleo
tions, but to define and declare
the penalties for the crime of bril-
berry. It is true that bribery in q
primary election is as much pun
ishable as it would be in q final
election, but there the restriction
stops. There is no law to punish
the Justification of the returns of
a primary election. The boxes
may be stuffed, the votes may be
falsely counted and false returns
made with impunity, for there is
no penalty for any such acts.
Article 215 of the constitution
of the State of Louisiana for 1898
orders that the Legislature shall
enact laws to secure the fairness
in party primary elections, con-
ventions or other methods of
naming party candidates; but this
has not been done. Such a law
would be dreadfully in the way of
the political bosses and prevent
them from controlling ell nomina-
ting bodies and debating nomina-
tions, and, as a result, the consti-
tuition has been disregarded. The
anti-bribery law of 1890 will have
but little effect in protecting and
promoting fairness in party no.
minating primaries and conven-
tions.
