Theodosia was turning the house up

Of the twenty-five vice presidents OF
the United States, Mr.. Roosevelt is
the ninth to be elected from New York.
The fact illustrates the influence, un-
der the electoral system, of the large
and "doubtful' states. Since 1876 the
Republican party has, except in two
elections, chosen it's candidate for vice
president from New York. Moreover,
Mr.. Hobart, one of the two exceptions,
lived only fifteen miles from New
York city, in New Jersey, another
doubtful state. The Democratic party
has chosen it's candidate for President

Bound to Win.

Down in Missouri lives a boy who
likes pets. He began with pair OF
pigeons that he got in trade for q
dog that he had traded a knife for.
His parents allowed him to keen the
pigeons until they multiplied so that
there were, pigeons all over the place,
Then he sold the pigeons and got a
goat that ate the clothes off the line
every Monday. He was compelled to
dispose Of it, and traded itfor pair oi
game chickens. In a week there wasn't
a rooster left in the neighborhood: :.
the game rooster had killed them all
His father took the game chickens for
a ride one night and lost them three
miles out in the country. Three days
afterward the boy brought them home,
but he never told anyone how he goi
them. And SO he fought for his pets
one by one-his. dog was lost, his lamb
stolen, his rabbits ran away. He has
come down to one old hen. Recently
he bought "settin''' Of eggs. A
"settin IS Of eggs is as many as a
motherly hen can hatch into chicks.
He had made up his mind that his hen
was lonely and needed company, and
what SO companionable as hatch OF
little chicks to scratch for? The hen,
however, had different views, and
didn't want to sit On the eggs. But
he was not a boy to be stumped by a
hen--he had borne too many losses al
ready. He put the eggs in a box in
which he had made a nest Of hay.
Then he placed the indignant hen on
them, put a board in which he had
bored a lot OF holes over her and LEFT
1 her M to come to terms. That night his
big brother kicked off the board and
set the hen free. The next mornins
the boy put her back and put some
bricks on the board, for he thought
she had raised the board and released
herself. The brother kicked both
bricks and board off that night. The
boy replaced hen and board again and
again they were kicked of. Then he
got a board and made hole in it for
the hen to poke her head through and
nailed the board to the box. Once a.
day he takes the board off and chases
the hen around the yard for exercise,
and twice a day he carries food and
water to her. What's the use Of try-
ing to discourage q boy like that -
