PROCLAIM 1T ALOUD.
The VOx POpuli Has Spoken and a
Queen Has Been Elected to
Reign for Day.

The agony is over-that of elect
ing queen to preside over the
Carnival Day parade and ball on
Wednesday,
The Elks nominated several popu-
lar young ladies to be voted for
and each one developed their mede
of strength After time the can
didates began to withdraw until
only two were left to contest the
honors, Miss Marye Webber leading
with a good one hundred votes, and
Miss Jessie Parkius.
The final count was announced to
close at 10 O'clock, at the Smith
Drug Store, and it was there that
the friends and admirers Of those
beautiful and accomplished young
ladies assembled with their bank
roll to do battle for their choice.
The voters would seal their money
in small envelope and place it in
the ballot box, the amount not be-
ing known to the opposing force.
1t was thought by both crowds that
they had each other sized up and
that their faverite would win.
The hour arrived and the poll
was closed and the vote announced
after being carefully counted. 1t
was found that Miss Jessie Parkins
was the victor, having received
1119 votes to Miss Marye Webber's
722' Miss Parkins' supporters 'sent
upa cheer, "Long Live the Queen,
and happier set could not be
found in the city when they saw
victory for their lovely candidate
on the placard.
Miss Jessie is a sweet young lady,
has a charming personality, is
neither bold or retiring, but well
balanced with all that goes to make
up lovely womanhood. We can all
take off our hats when the process
sion which she heads, passes, and
exclaim, there goes a queen, only in
name, yet fit to reign over the des-
tiny of man. We bow right now to
the charms of the lovely queen and
wish for her reign free from any
harm of whatsoever nature.
The Queen has selected Miss Jen-
netta Scherer as her Maid of Houor.
Miss Scherer is charming young
lady, beautiful and graceful withal
and will make the Queen an admir-
able attendant.

thought, and he walked slowly as he
turned it over in his mind. He had
always considered it part of his destiny
to marry, but he was waiting for the
right woman and merely amusing him
self i'll the meantime. But if Alma
had learned to love him, and it was
quite possible. he might be the cause
of cruel disappointment to her. Wo-
men feel such things 50 deeply, YOU
know. AS he thought it all over and
recalled many trilling incidents the
possibility became Il probability, and
he was not Il little disguised. But he
never came to conclusions hastily, and
it was not until New Years eve that
he made up his mind that perhaps Al
ma, after all, was the woman to make
him happy. But before deciding final
ly he resolved to sound the depths of
her character and stop meeting her
frivolity with frivolity. Just then it
occurred to him that in doing that he
would be turning over Il new leaf as he
had promised to, and he chuckled over
his own clcverncSs.
Alma in the meantime had canvass
ed her failingS carefully and had de-
cidcd that her bcsotting sin was hrt-
ing. True. she had never hirtcd much
with any one but Harold, and his self
satisfaction was SO unSpcakabc that
it was Il temptation to tease him. But
she really did not love him. He was
not her Prince Charming by any
means, ana she would simply have to
give up flirting with him. Full of this
noble resolution she awaited his next
visit
On the first evening of the new year
Harold attircd himself faultlessly ana

almost decided that Alma was the one
woman he had ever met whom he
would care 10 make his wife. and the
impression was heightened when she
swept into the room to greet him and
wish him the compliments of the sea
son. He had brought her Il box of
bOnbonS as Il New Years gift and was
somewhat surprised by the staid and
dccorous way in which she received it.
His surprise became positive when she
said:

Harold went off into another roar of
laughter. The idea of this fluffy bun
die of innocence having great faults
was very absurd to him. When he
finally stopped, she exclaimed:
"I'll tell you what let's do. Let us
each think it over carefully and then
decide to turn over new leaf about
something. We really should, ycu
know. and besides it is the fashion at

"All right; it is II bargain" he said.

'' If a fixed body be established to serve

ate, to which age, virtue. gravity, and
public services gain admittance; the
Senators, by being exposed to public view
like the statues of the gods. must natu-
rally inspire sentiments that will trans
fuse themselves into the bosom of every

Above all this Senate must steadily
adhere to the ancient institutions, and
mind that the people and the magistrates
never swerve from them. Ancient insu
tutions are generally reformatory, and
modern ones abuses.
In the course OF a ionG administra-

there is no reascending to virtue without

l. =" The long duration of the Republic of
Sparta was owing to its having always
continued IN the same extent OF territory
after all its wars, The sole aim Cf Sparta
was liberty, and the sole advantage of
its liberty glory.
e 1t was the spirit of the Greek republics
to be as ccntented with their territories
as with their laws. Athens was first fired
with ambition and gave it to Lacedaemon;
but it was an ambition rather of COM
manding free people than of governing
than OF breaking the union.
d" Virtue in a republic is a most simple
thing: it is a love for the republic; it is
a sensation, and not a consequence of ac-
Quired knowledge: a sensation that may
be felt by the nneanest as we'll as by the
highest person in the state. When the
common people adopt good maxims, they
adhere to them steadier than those We
call gentlemen. 1t is very rare that cor
ruDtion commences with the former: nay,
they frequently derive from their imper-
feet light a stronger attachment to the
established laws and customs The love
of our country is conducive to purity of
morals and the latter is again conducive
TO the love of cur country.

which cannot be expected but from a gen.
