Tho Club

The meeting Of the Women's Club
at Mrs. Parrish's last Wednesday
afternoon was we'll attended and the
program give was most enjoyable.
The work was all voluntary and the
program covered a variety of subjects.
Mrs. Doughty gave a resume OF
"Richard Carvel" and a sketch of its
author, Winston Churchill. Mrs.
Hillyer's contribution, "Washington
City in 1872" was found very inter
esting by comparison with Washing
ton City as recently seen by many Of
the ladies present. "Mexico Of To.
day" was Mrs. Jones' subject and
many points of information was
CLEANED from the theme. Mrs. Mark
ham gave "Mystery Plays and the
Passion Play" as given at Oberam-
mergau, which has given the Bavar
ian village world wide renown. Mrs.
Hotel followed with a subject no less
keen and pointed, but as she re,
marked, long way from the passion
of Christ. It was "Mosquitoes and
Malaria" proving that without the
mischievons probing ofthe one, there
would be none of the other.
Mrs. Hallack was visitor at the
club, but came with a delightful talk
on some of the most readable recent
books, subject with which she is
thoroughly copversant and which she
gave most entertainingly, Mrs. Gar
wins contribution was on "Miss Will
kins' Marriage" and proved inter
esting to all her hearers, as all were
more or less familiar with Miss Viii
kins' writings. Mrs. Liggett gave
something upon recent discovery
in color photography. After reading
the minutes of the previous meetings
the club adjourned to meet Novem-
ber IA with Mrs. Markham.

At the Republican meeting held
at the Opera House last Saturday
night F. P. Costigan of Denver made
one of the finest orations delivered
here during the campaign. 1t WAS a
scholarly production, logical and con
vincing, and many in the audience
wished that Costigan had not been
limited in time A number Of
speeches were made during the even
ing, each speaker being limited to
thirty minutes. Col. j. NJ. Essing.
ton a'so delivered a very good
speech, and Judge Blodgett made a
ten minutes talk, which created great
enthusiasm. s. F. White of Holly
made the opening address, which was
very we'll received.
The realism OF the production of
"The Stowaway" which comes short
ly to this city, is unique, even in this
day of pictorial and mechanical mar
wells. In addition to a full rugged
and complete yacht, to say nothing
OF several minor sets, all novel and
beautiful in design, there is one act
which produces real burglary. 1t
is real in the sense that real iron
safe is blown open by d brace OF
cracksmen, real crooks, who served
time at Sing Sing for safe aobbery,
The ponderous safe door is pierced
by ratchet drill, charge OF pow
der and fuse inserted and the door
is blown out amid general wild en-
thusiasm, November 18th.

ELECTION DAY.

How 1t Came to Be Tuesday After
First Monday In November.
The designation of the day for hold
ing the presidential election is left to
congress. The first act passed by it re-
lating to that subject was in 1892. 1t
provided that presidential electors
should be appointed within "a days
before the first "Wednesday in Decem-
ber." This left each state free to select
q day to suit itself within those limits.
Pennsylvania chose electors on the last
Friday in October. Other states elect
ed theirs on different days between the
beginning and middle Of November.
When Harrison was elected in lS4O,
the Democrats asserted that his sue
cess was due partly to fraudulent vot-
ing, which was made possible by the
lack of a definite election day. IT was
alleged that Kentucky and Ohio Wings
had voted in both states. the election
being held on different days. So in
1915 the Democrats passed the law
now on the statute books making the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
election day.
At that time but five Of the % states
had their elections in November. In
Michigan and Mississippi voting was
carried on through two days-thc first
Monday and the following Tuesday.
New York had three election days-the
first Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day-but had finally confined voting to
the middle day, or the first Tuesday
after the first Monday. Massachusetts
chose state officers on the second Mon
day in November and Delaware on the
second Tuesday. So congress selected
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day to consult the convenience Of three
states out Of five one Of the three be-
ing the important state Of New York.

THE SCHEME WORKED.
Scheme by Which Brown Quieted
His Wife's Suspicion.

A Scheme by Which Brown Quieted
His Wife's Suspicion.
To be perfectly honest Brown does
not 90 to his Griswold street office
every night that he tells his wife lie
is going there. The business which he
says is pressing is frequently imagi-
nary and the man whom he is going
to meet does not exist. He belongs
to 4 club, and clubs have their attrac-
tions He thought that his wife was
growing suspicious, and Brown is re-
sourcefCl.
On the evening in question, as the
lawyers would say. he told her that
there was matter Of business that
could not possibly be deferred until the
next day. About 8 o'clock she answer
ed the phone and was asked if Brown
was at home. and she replied that he
was at his Office

could not keep awake, she was asham-

In ten minutes he was at the club

FOLLOWING Up His Customer.

A French commercial traveller was

arrive in the town on fete day. Find
ing the shop closed. he inquired as to
the whereabouts Of the proprietor and

and he saw his man stepping into the
car Plucking up courage he stepped
forward. paid his money and was al
lowed to take his seat with the other
aeronauts. Away went the balloon,
and it was not until the little party
was we'll above the tree tops that the

A Kings Fear of uoman's Beauty

A Kings Fear of Womnn's bea Uty.
Charles MI Of Sweden feared only
one power in the world, the power of
beauty; only handsome woman could
boast of making him quail-she put
him to flight. He said: $50 many he
roes have succumbed to the attractions
of beautiful face! Did not Alexan-
der, my pet, burn town to please
ridiculous adventures? want my
life to be free from such weakness;
history must not find such stain upon
It."
He was told one day that young
girl had come to sue for justice on be-
half Of q blind octogenarian father
maltreated by soldiers. The first in
clination Of the king. strict discipline
rian, was to rush straight to the plain
tiff, to hear the details Of the misde-
meanor for himself. but suddenly stop
ping he asked, "Is she good looking"
And being assured that she was both

sent word that she must wear q veil,
otherwise he would not listen to her
