THE BALLOT TITS YEAR.
lVinton Eagle.l
Quite a number of papers are max
ing the statement that the ballot this
year will be OF gigantic proportions
that the voter will have just about
room er1ough to open 1t up in the vot
ing booth, etc. The Manchester Press
says II WILDE a trifie larger than two
pages of the Press. This is not true 1t
will be no larger than four years ago,
which is less than the size of one page.
The ballot will contain not more than
seven tickets-same as four years ago
and possibly not more than six. The
ticket this year will be about 20x20
inches-not at all cumbersome.
BRYAN's APPEAL TO PREJUDICE.
[Tipton Advertiserl
A former Upton girl now living in
North Dakota heard William j. Bryan
make an address at her home last
week. She says: He was not received
enthusiastically. His speech was dis
appointing even to the democrats and
he received no ovation. He appealed
TO prejudice, said that Mckinley was
an arlstocrat while he Bryan be-
8longed to the common people. She
adds that he made no votes in that
section and that the people who had
been expecting great things were much
disappointed in the man. Even North
Dakota must be preparing to return to
the republican fold.

The Boston woman Will not permit
herself to be forgotten, and, indeed 1t
IL fortunate that she keeps herself so
much In the public view, for, aside
from few idiosynCrasies that are
easily forgiven In view OF her other
lovablc qualities, the Boston woman Is
n very praiseworthy creature. One of
the latest developments of the woman
of the modern Athens has been in the
direction OF architecture Josephine
Wright Chapman Is the latest wonder
of her sex. for she Is an architect OF
acknowledged ability. From her Of
fees have come forth the designs for
some OF the most beautiful houses and
homes in eastern Massachusetts and
the plans for some of the most success
fully beautiful buildings. Through
out the city and state are monuments
to her skill and her constantly inCreas-
ing patronage ian point to but one
thing. that her work Is her best adver-
tisemcnt. At her Office she employs
constantly several draughtsmen, who
are necessarily occupied with work
she has to do She has reached that
degree of success that is not compelled
TO seek for something to do, but has
merely TO wait for what comes. The
latest building for which il Is prac-
tically certain Miss Chapman's plans
will be accepted Is that which it Is pro
posed to build for the All Saints Epts-
copal parish at Attlcboro. The growth
OF the church made a larger edlfce i'm
pcratiyc a year or two ago, and several
months past n tract OF land was pur-
chased and Miss Chapman made the
plans for the new church. The style
is that Of an old English abbey. The
church will seat 275 but could be made
To seat as many NOR" II necessary. IL
Is In the form OF n cross, with seats In

has led into the way Of beauty IL that

A "POD" With a Title.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. l6.-Whar-
ton Barker, candidate for Presi-
dent on the Middle-O the Road
Populist ticket, is said to be ineli-
gible for the Presidency because
he bears foreign title, bestowed
upon him by the Gar of Russia,
without the consent of the United
States government. II is said that
some years ago Mr.. Barker was
experimenting some public work
in Russia, and that he was made
Lord of st. WencheIaS.
If this should be proved against
Mr.. Barker he will he ineligible to
accept the Presidents chair, and
will probably be asked to resign
his candidacy. He would be sue
ceeded by Ignatius DOnnelly, can
didate for Vice President on the
Middle of the Road ticket. Ac-
cording to the laws of the United
States, an American forfcits his
citizenship when he accepts for
eign title without the permission
of Congress.

Away In far-oif Persia lived Dara,
a shepherd. BY day he watched his
focks as they cropped grass from the
hillside. and at night he saw that
they were carefully guarded from the
wolves, which came from nearby for
ests to carry Off and devour the sheep.
So faithful was Dara 20 his hcecy
subjects, and so wisely did he look at
ter the affairs OF his own household.
that the villagers. humble folk like
himself chose him to govern their
village. Their choice was a fortunate
one, for so well did the village prop
per under his rule, that several neigh
boring villages selected him to gov
ern them. Under his sway they, too.

tice. But In the cities OF Persia and
indeed In most of the villages and
| country d tricts. affairs went i'll. The
viceroys. or assistant rulers, were nm
just, dishonest and cruel. Who could
wonder at this? Their monarch was
weak and wicked man, debased by
every conceivable vice. An unCon-
scious and willing slave to the lattery
OF his vicerOys. who well knew how
to gain his consent to any plan, no
matter how unjust or cruel, il ii only
served to enrich the royal pocket, and,
unknown to him, add to their own pos

king more wise" lie searched for
men to aid him in ruling who should
be brave and just. The mountain
shepherds fame had reached his ears.
For Dara he sent and to him gave n
satrapy, or province, in trust to rule.
This unexpected elevation did not
make Dara conceitcd. He took no
more pride In his vicoroys sccptc:
than in his shepherds ere pk which
| he held In earlier days. Envy, how
! ever, soon pursued Dara, and found
more listeners In towns and cities
than in hillside villages. 1t wanted
a chance to undo Daras favor with
the king.
At stated times Pcrsia's monarch
sent out demand for tax, or revenue,
to every province. This revenue was
not paid wholly in money, but partly
with gold and gems. in which the
country was rich.
So greatly had Dara's province
grown in wealth and honor that immc-
diately upon receipt of the tax cdict
| the treasures were collected and sent
to the kings cXchequer. The advance
and wealth OF the province pleased

the king, but displeased others, who
hated to see Dlra 80 successful. Soon
ita was whispered to the king that he
had been greatly deceived in believing
Dars to be honest. Enemies accused
the vicerOy Of keeping from the kings

rest for his own private store
For proof they stated tnar no matter

gems from their hiding place. Then
