From the lower room the second
floor with its sleeping rooms is reach

climber finds himself actually among
the branches of the tree and on most
uneven though apparently secure MOOR
Beds and all necessary furniture are
slowed away here, and there seems TO
be plenty Of room for them. A very
convenient closet has been cut out OF
the trunk Of the tree and is entered by
a most cleverly contrived door.
The house is. to be sure, not the
stablest of dwellings, for when the
wind blows it rocks and sways IKE a
hammock, and when it rains the ram
lily has to leave the upper floor ana
seek shelter on the ground. Neverthe-
less it is happy family, and even the
prospect of winter SHOWS and frosts
has not frightened the resourcefui

In Haledon, N. j., suburb of Pater-

its hsme in the branches of tree
And this is not an animal story. The
family consists of an altogether sane
and respectable German laborer. his
wife and five children, who all declare
that a tree is the most comfortable
of homes and that they would inhabit
their castle in the air from choice even

JUST FOR VOTERS.
Chicasos Ballots Would Reach from That
City to Kansas

Clty TO haHsnH
About 1,125,O0O ballots, each twenty
four by thirty inches, will be printed
by the election commissioners for Chi
cago at the fall election. Although
there will be no more than 400, 600 reg
istered voters, if anywhere near that
many, the excess is required by statute
so that no voter, owing to the acci-
dental or designed loss of package,
need be deprived of his prerogative as
a free man. to mark and deposit his
ballot.
Stacked one upon another in tow
erlike pile, without wrappers, the l.
$4,000 ballots would reach 52S feet
in the air, an altitude loftier than the
topmost peak of the pyramids and al
most as great as that OF the Washing
ton monument. The ballots are fold
ed in half when placed in the pack
ages prepared for the judges and
clerks. Each package will have lOO
ballots in it, and the 1880 packages
stacked one upon another would ex-
tend 1900 feet high.
That does not include about 1OO,-
600 women's ballots, which must be
printed. For an untraveled Chlcagoan
to conceive what sheer height or
1 400 feet is like, there being no such
height between the Alleghanies and
the Rockies, he would have to mag
inc what a shaft five times as high as
the Masonic Temple would look like.
Two carloads of paper, weighing IN
all forty-two tons, will be needed for
the ballots. If the paper were cut IN
one enormous sheet that sheet would
cover an area as large as the down.
town district between the river, the
lake and Van Buren, street. The bal
lots laid together lengthwise would eX-
tend a distance of 542 miles, or con-
siderably further than from Chicago to
Kansas City, Memphis or Buffalo. A
strip of paper wide enough to cover
railway track and long enough to ex-
tend from Chicago to st. Paul could
be cut from the huge sheet Something
like 1000 or $500 ballot boxes will be
needed at the !, 125 polling places with
in the Chicago election district. Each
ballot box fills about six cubic feet OF
space. If stacked in one pile the bal
lot boxes would fill room forty feet
wide, forty feet long and forty feet
high. AS it is they cannot be put In
any one room but have to be divided
among several floors of warehouse

ouired to seal the various package;
