WAsPs ACT in A TRAGEDY.

manager to the writer the other day,

when he was performing in northern
New York town. The company was
playing Julius Caesar and at the
last moment it was found that the
property man had failed to send up the
regular throne chair used in the sem
ate scene. and an old rustic chair was
hastily procured from the left of the
theater and. after being covered with
draping, was pressed into service. In
the midst of the scene large wasps'
nest was discovered attached to the
chair, and its inhabitants, becoming
indignant at the disturbance they had
suffered. began to swarm about the
stage. seeking revenge upon the Ro-
mans in their low necked and short
sleeved dresses. The wasps seemed to
be particularly offended with Cesar
and it is doubtful if Caesars death
scene was ever acted with more feel

pierced by the conspirators' daggers

ELECTION DAY.
How 1t Came to Be Tuesday After
First Monday In November.

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 81 days
before the first Wednesday in Deem
ber." This left each state free to select
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 1910,
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. 1t was
alleged that Kentucky and Ohio Wings
had voted in both states, the election
being held on different days. So in
now on the statute books making the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
election day.
At that time but five of the 26 states
had their elections in November. In
Michigan and Mississippi voting was
carried on through two days-the 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-
