MADE CALLERS PAY GAS BILLS.
Philadelphia Girls Experience With
Slot Meters.
CPhiladelphia Telegraph

Slot gas meters proved a good thing for
long time IN one kensinston family,
but finally resulted in the losE of a lover
for one OF the daughters. For 2nany years
the family burned oil. but the four girls
grew TO womanhOod and desired to have
some of the modern luxuries. The Wid-
owed mother. who had been left consid-
cradle money BY her husband. consented
10 put gas in. One of the quarter-in-the-
slot meters was introduced.
There was only one parior TO the house,
and the four girls were all OF an age
not all use the parlor for counting pur-
poses on the same night. so he week was
divided 20 give the parlor over to one
couple on stated nights. The SWANS
were never In much OF hurry to leave.
and in consequence numerous quarters
found their way into the meter to k2eD
the flow of gas going. SO many or these
silver pieces were necessary that the
mother decided that either the meter
must go or the lovers would have TO put
up the quarters when the gas ran low.
The girls tried this plan for long time
and II worked beautifully.
Onlv there was an unlooked-ior tlaW
which developed with the Introduction OF
a gas stove when summer began. one OF
the lovers was a mechanic getting good
wages. He did not object 10 spending
an occasional quarter but IL appears the
gas always went low on his Sarlor
evening" When the gas stove came the
necessity for pushing quarters in the me
ter came with too rapid frequency. FL
naIlv ne determined he had had enough
of being "a good thing y few weeks
ago the parlor gas went out. SO did he,
and he has not vet returned. The other
SWANS had the laugh on him for months,
but thev are now guessing Whose lot
II will fan 10 now TO pay the family gas

BRYAH's LOST OPPORTUNITY.

WHATEVER ELSE the enemies OF
W William J. Bryan may say about
him, he Is not an advertiser in the
Rooseveltian sense Of the word. Mr..
Bryan had a great opportunity FOR
Standardization only a few days ago.
He not only insisted on keeping the
matter as quiet as possible, but when
1t leaked out ne made light Of it. The
story is told IN Lincoln sDeciaf to
one Of the eastern papers
II is related that after concluding his
speech on Labor day at one of the
Lincoln parks, Mr.. Bryan started for
an exit Just as he reached 1t he saw
two men engaged in "a furious fight.
One was holding the other down, chok-
ing him and ramming his head into a
mud puddle. Mr.. Bryan promptly went
to the rescue Of the man underneath
He grasped the aggressor vigorously
and hurled him into the mud beside
his opponent
The fellow lay there as II stunned
for a moment. Then ne sprang TO his
feet with string of fierce oaths and
ran at Mo. Bryan. AS he came he
drew a long knife with one haad and
a revolver with the other. Murder
cleaned in his eyes, and he shouted
that he was prepared TO kill. Before
the crowd that had gathered could in
terfere, Mr.. Bryan sprang 10 meet the
all but lunatlc.
The latter made a wild effort TO stab
the Democratic leader. but Mr.. Bryan
was under his guard in a twinkling, and
before the crowd knew what was hap
pening. he had the man disarmed and
helpless. The account says that MIR.
Bryan displayed astonishing strength
and alertness. and that he narrowly
escaped with his life. He declined TO
swear out any warrants. and his as
sailant was permitted 10 go away I'M
molested by the officers of the law.
Later Mr.. Bryan absolutely refused
TO discuss the affair, although he re-
luetantly admitted that he had had
a little trouble" Thus il is apparent

VERMOHT's UNIQUE POSITION.

VERMONT HOLDS the somewhat
unique distinction Of holding an
election this year that didn't elect
After hot campaign. extending over
a period OF several months, the returns
showed that neither the Democratic.
the Republican nor the Independent
Republican candidates for governor
and lieutenant governor were elected.
Nor was there a Tie vote. for one set
OF candidates ran several thousand
votes ahead OF the others
This anomalous condition OF affairs
is rendered possible by provision OF
the Vermont constitution. which re-
duires candidates for governor and
lieutenant governor TO receive a ma
jerity OF all the votes cast. None OF
the candidates. so far as the returns
received thus far indicate. has received
a majority. Consequently, the Yer
mont legislature viii be required to
elect a chief executive and an official
IN line Of succession.
The Vermont election attracted at
tention throughout the country be-
cause OF the lines on which the cam
palgn was conducted. National and
state issues were almost entirely for
gotten. and the battle was fought on
the question OF substituting high IL
cense and local option for a prohibit
ton that Vermonters generally con-
cede does not prohibit Percival W.
Clement, well known and wealthy
Republican, was responsible for start
ing the high license movement.
Clement secured a half-hearted en-
dorsement for his plan at the hands
Of the Republican convention, but
failed to secure the gubernatorial NOM
nation he sought.
Then he ran as an Independent. in op-
position 10 the regular Republican
nominee. General ]. G. Mccullough.
and the Democratic nominee. Felix w.
McGettrick. The three ran a neck and
neck race. with Mccullough slightly in
the lead az the finish. In any other
state in the Union Mccullough would
have been declared elected. but not so
IN Vermont. Unless late returns make
a material change in the situation he
VIII have 10 take his chances before
legislature which may elect some
rank outsider TO the place.
The constitutional provision. which
makes this tangle possible. is surely a
mistake. II Is comparatively easy to
defeat the viii OF large proportion of
the voters under its operation. To do
so 1t Is only necessary 10 place a long
list Of dummy" candidates in the
field and make il practically impossible
for any candidate 10 receive a ma
jority OF all the votes.
