S 'iSiH'
indeed. breakfast irregular, dinner
at no particular hour, and everything
at SKIES and seveas! I'm not used to
it. and it upsets my digestion. Be
sides-there's that nephew of mine!
/ suppose boys must exist, but dhey re
prodigious nuisance. / told my sis
ter I'd try six months with her, and
I've tried 'em. Now I'll go back to old
Mrs. Pry's boarding house, and my
second-story front room, with the
crate fire and the weather strips in
every window. My six months are up
on the 14th of February, and on the
14th of February I'll go!"
The major was a stout, short old gen
tleman. with shining bald head, a
bumpy forehead, light blue eyes which
always seemed as if they would touch
his spectacle glasses, and frost-white
mustache. He was an inveterate old
bachelor, with all the subtle ways and
habits of old bachelorhood, and had
money to leave-at least so said the
tongue of popular rumor-and he had
also furtive suspicion that all the
ladies were in league against his sin
gle blessedness.
'1'Il write to Mrs. Pry," said the
major; and accordingly he sat down
and wrote, succinctly:
"My Dear Madam: I am heartily sick
OF this sort of life. VIII you take me-
II it isn't convenient don't mind saying
so. / prefer the second-story front room

he read the letter over, not without
complacency. "Yes, yes, pretty fairly
Now. what is that woman Pry's first
name? I've got it signed to some o.
my receipts upstairs, and | DO like
things to be shipshape and precise"
And. leaving his letter neatly fold
ed on the table, in a shining. smooth
envelope, the major trotted upstair:
to find out whethe old Mrs. Pry's name
was Paulina, Patience or Parthenia
familiar bees, in his brain.
81 know it's one of the three, he sale
to himself. But | suppose it wouldn
do to write 'em all down and let the ole

In MclnOri:lnl.

The Teachers Association of this county
held meeting last Monday and adopted
the following resolutions upon the death
of the late Dr. W. W. Duvall President
of the School Board:
WHEREAS God, in His infinite wisdom,
has seen fit to lay His hand upon US in
heavy affliction and take our beloved
friend, DR.. w. w. Duvall, late president
of the Prince Georges county School
Board, to whom the teachers of the coun-
ty are bound by the warmest and closest
ties of love and gratitude
BE it Il. sOlred. That while we bow in
submission to the will Of God. who has
called home, full of years and honors, His
faithful servant, we humbly ask that He
soften this sense of ON irreparable loss,
though we know it to be the eternal gain
of him whom we now mourn.
Resolred, That the teachers do earnestly
request the adjournment of this Institute
in respect to the memory of our firm, loyal
and sympathetic friend, whose rounded
life, perfect in its domestic relations, faith
full in friendship. honorable in public ser
vice and beautiful in its Christian purity,
ers who have served under him.
- "oto'" nav We :" liz ~ hCCuIy ISCl
our bereavement, sympathize with those
upon whom this loss shall fall with I'M
measured force. The common words of
courtesy are poor, indeed, with which to
express aught of what is in our hearts.
We shall miss the inspiration of his pres
ence, they the dearer relationship of hus-
band and guide.
Resolred, That memorial page be set
aside in the book of proceedings to COM
memorate our late friend and adviser
services to this Association, and that a
copy of these resolutions be sent to the
sorrowing family, and that they be pub
lished in the county papers.

Chairman Vandiver's instruc-
tons.

Mr.. Vandiver has issued the following
instructions as to how to mark the ballot
which every democrat should get copy
of and understand thoroughly
Remember, one mark at the head OF
the ticket will not vote the entire ballot
as it used to do.
You must make a mark opposite the
name of every person for whom you wish
to vote.
Make cross mark within the square
for that purpose.
Don't let the cross extend beyond the
square. Make it entirely inside.
Do not make any other mark on the
ballot.
Any mark whatever on the ballot, ex-
cept the cross marks, whether in the
square or out of it, will cause the ballot to
be thrown out.
Be sure not to deface or tear your bal
lot in anywa
If you make mistake in marking it do
not attempt to make correction, return
it to the judge and get new one. You
are entitled to third ballot if the first
two have been spoiled and refunded, but
you must not consume more than seven
minutes in making it.
There are three constitutional amend
ments. To vote for any one of them,
make cross mark in the space opposite
and to the right of the words For Consti-
tutional Amendment" under the one you
wish to vote for.
To vote against any one of them, make
a cross mark opposite and to the right Of
the words against Constitutional
Amendment under the one you wish to
vote against.
If you make mistake in voting on the
amendments your ballot may be thrown
out
If you do not vote on the amendment
at all your vote for candidates on the
ballot will be counted.
Be sure not to mark more names than
there are persons to be elected to an
office.
If you do your entire ballot will not
be counted.
For example, if you mark the names
of seven candidates for the House of
Delegates and there are but six candi-
dates to be elected, your entire ballot,
and not merely that part relating to the
House of Delegates, will be thrown out
This is most important to be remem-
bere1.
Find out before you vote the exact
number of Democratic candidates.
Be sure to vote for all these candidates.
Count the cross marks made by you and
be sure that you put no more cross marks
than there are Democratic candidates on
the ballot.
Mark your ballot with the indelible
pencil which you will find in the election
booth.
Do not use your own pencil; your bal
lot will not be counted if you do.
Fold your ballot exactly as it was fold
ed when handed to you, and give it to
the ballot judge without permitting any
one to see how you have marked it.
See that the judge tears off the coupon
and deposits the ballot in the ballot box.
