MAGAZINE ON THE HIGH PRlVi.
LEGE OF THE VOTER.
John Brishben Walker on the Obligations I'm.
posed on American Citizenship. When il
Reaches It's Highest Development Bribery
May Cease.

When American citizenship shall have
reached it's highest development, the
duty of voting will no longer be care
less, perfunctory, ill.studied and hastily
performed act.
There will be preparatory ceremony,
in which the citizen will stand before his
fellow men and. with uplifted hand,
solemnly affirm that in exercising the
high duties devolving upon him as
voter. he
Has studied with diligence the issues
presented for decision;
Has made careful inquiry concerning
the integrity and administrative abilities
Of the candidate in, nomination;
Will cast his vote without prejudice,
without personal bias, without influence
bv money or promise Of any personal ad.
vantage, direct or indirect;
Will, in casting his vote. have regard
solely and entirely to the benefit of the
country at large if the vote be national,
or if local. with reference to the good of
the community.
Eventually the voter will come to
recognize that failure to fulfil this duty
earnestly, thoroughly and with highest
integrity, should expose him to the con.
tempt Of his fellow citizens, and should
disfranchise him from the exercise of the
high privilege of voting-and he will un-
derstand that corrupt voting brings in
it's train wars, panics, loss Of income,
and suffering in a thousand ways. 's
If, after solemnly making this affirma-
ton in the presence of his fellow citizens,
the voter proceeds to the secrecy Of the
voting booth. who doubts that he will
not, in nine cases out of ten, act differ.
emily from the careless, thoughtless, ILL
judging, selfish or corrupt man who
today retards by his vote the destiny of
our Republic?
Within the past twenty years, corrup-
ton at the polls has increased with
fapidity that appals those who have read
the history of the republics of Rome and
Greece. Something must be done to
rescue the average citizen from his in.
difference to and ignorance of the power
contained in his vote. Men must be
educated Systematically through village
societies, and above all, the public
schools must take up the training of the
child to the importance of the function
which he will some day exercise as a
citizen.
Penalties for bribery at the polls are
already severe But in every town there
must be Il society whose business it is to
pursue the briber and TIE bribed until
the doors of the penitentiary close upon
them. And the ONLY legal excuse for
absence from the polls should be a certif-
cate of i'll health or certified absence
from the county.
Hitherto we have neither educated
our school children in the duties they
will some time exercise as voters, nor
surrounded the voters themselves with
such safeguards as will elevate them to
comprehension OF the high response
bility entrusted to them.
And il it continues to go unchecked,
bribery at the polls will overthrow the
Republic.

hand ball, for only big soft rubber
ball is necessary, and she can toss
and roll and play with the ball until
she has given her muscles all the ex-
ercise they need.
There are three cardinal move
ments for widening the chest. The
first is STOPPING movement at the
side.
1t can best be performed by TAX
ing a big rubber ball and rolling it
across the floor. Take it in the right
hand and roll it. Pretend you are in
a bowling alley, and are sending the
ball spinning down the alley.
"Roll the ball, STOPPING well at one
side as you do. Do this for fifteen
minutes day.
'The second movement is with the
arms over the head. Lift the ball
in both hands high over the head,
and toss it down the room. Keep on
doing this, again and again. Repeat
this for ten minutes or until the
arms are tired.
Lifting the ball is fine exercise.
Take the ball in the right hand and
lift it. Lift it and lower it.
"Do this again and again. Change
to the other hand and lift it and low
er it again. This is one of the best
exercises that can be performed for
the DEVELOPMENT of the bust.
"As to the diet, among the best
foods that can be found is bread and
butter. Hot breads are generally
supposed to be indigestible, but real
ly they are among the most valua-
bic foods one can have. Good hot
bread is about the best thing in the
world for the stomach, LIE it be we'll
baked and let it be eaten while it is
fresh. The trouble with hot bread
is that one usually eats it too hot.
Then there is the question of
butter. Good butter never injured
any healthy person. Let it be pure
and fresh and sweet.
Here is a dietary for the woman
who is thin in the chest. Take every
day as many baked potatoes as you
like and all the good, sweet, fresh
bread and butter. Drink all the CO.
Goa and chocolate preparations you
can digest, and do not forget that
vegetables are good for you.
ITO this add all the game you
want. Let the game be good and
preferably choose the white meat.
The white meat of chicken never in
jured any person, and you can take
it once day. Also, all small game,
we'll cooked, but do not eat fried
food"

is obtained from the civet cat, and
''musk" from the queer little horn
less musk deer, are secretions of
glands. 1t has been suggested that
the defenseless musk deer escapes
from any of its enemies from the
similarity of its secretion to the
nlusky odor of a crocodile. In many
animals, which live in herds, such as
deer and antelopes, and which have
neither bright colors nor farreaching
calls to aid straying members to re-
gain the flock, there are large and
active scent glands. The next time
you see live antelope in a zoologi-
cal park look closely at the head, and
between the eyes. and the nostrils a
large opening will be seen on each
side, which closes now and then,
flap of skin shutting it tightly.
Among pigs the fierce pecarry is a
very social animal, going in large
packs, and on the back is found a
large gland from which clear
water fluid is secreted. Dogs and
wolves also have their odor-secret-
ing glands on the back and the
"wolf pack" is proverbial.
The gland of the elephant is on
the temple, and secretes only when
the animal is in dangerous mood
a hint, therefore, of opposite sig-
nifcance to that of the herding ami
mails, as this says: "Let me alone.
Stay away!" Certain low species of
monkeys, the lemurs, have remark
able bare patch on the forearm,
which covers a gland serving some
use.
If we marvel at the keenness of
scent among animals, how incredible
seems the similar scent in insects
similar in function, however differ
ent the medium of structure may be.
Think of the scent from a female
moth, so delicate that we can distin-
guish nothing even near its body, at
tracing male of the same species
from distance of mile or more.
1t is surely true that the greatest
marvels are not always associated
with mere bulk.

HOW THEY STARTED.

Thomas A. Edison, the great in
ventor, won his first success as a
newsboy in the time of the Civil
War.
Andrew Carnegie's first wages as
a factory boy were $I.2o a week:
Jacob Gould Schurman, president
of Cornell University, earned $50 a
year at his first job as clerk in a
country store.
Marshall Field, the greatest mer-
chant of Chicago, also began as a
country store clerk.
Sir Thomas Upton at fifteen went
to New York, but he was so poor
that he had to borrow money for a
postage stamp with which to write
to his parents.
Russell Sage saved money from
his first salary of ST. week as gro
cery clerk.
Robert Clowry began as mes
senger boy and worked his way to
the presidency of the Western Union
Telegraph Company.
Herbert H. Vreeland also began
at the bottom and worked up to the
presidency of the largest street rail-
way system in the world.
William Dean Howells, the IA
nous author and editor, got his start
as a printers helper.
Perhaps some of you boys and
girls will be encouraged by what you
have read of the way these boys
started out.
Hard work and faithfulness were
the two things that "did the busi-
ness"

THE SONG OF A BIRD.

just little bit of feather
And life and song, all held together
By heart almost too small to beat,
And cobweb wings, and twinkling feet.
Where, in body as small as this,
Does he store the passion of JOY and
bliss,
Of life in its utmost ecstacy,
Which his little throat pours out to me?
No shadow of fear his heart can know,
Or that perfect music could not flow
So sweet, so clear, so exultingly,
As light as the wind, and as wild and
free
He is surely the heart of the summer
weather.
Life, joy and song, in bit of feather.

WHEN WOMAN Is THE ARCHITECT.

1t would seem that the woman of
today should be the architect of the
dwelling. 1t is she who must fit and
dress the home, and she generally
would be if she also planned the un-
dressed house. Every woman should
know where the drainpipes are plac-
ed in the house, and be sufficiently
wcrt trrxOxrxzvSr-te- 0vcrvvS-erss-f f,zssszst,cz-
in his work, and know how to test
the plumbing when the work is said
to be finished. With a faithful adj
herence to this knowledge, much
diphtheria, typhoid and such kindred
diseases may be avoided.
The housewife should also know
how to manage the draughts of the
furnace or the valves of the steam
pipes. It requires close attention and
hard study to understand house con-
struction, yet the resourceful women
of today are certainly equal to it.
AS the heating of the house is a
very important item, it would be
well, unless thoroughly versed on the
subject, to consult an authority. The
old time Baltimore heater has given
way to the furnace, which if proper
ly built, will send heat to every cor
ner of the house. The furnace need
not necessarily be. extra large to heat
the entire house, but well selected,
reliable make is the one to choose
a few extra dollars invested in this
article will repay the owner in the
long run.
For cheer and health's sake the
CRATE fire still holds its own, and
IS invaluable for carrying away the
germs of many diseases that would
otherwise create havoc. To be sure,
dust and ashes accompany the CRATE
fire, but the end justifes the means.
On moderately cool spring and au-
tumn days, when the furnace fire is
too warm, the open CRATE fire, or its
equivalent, gas logs, viii, be sufficient
and may be extinguished at will.
1t is only question of time when
the home will be reorganized. The
march of progress cannot be hin
dered. Just as electricity has been
used for the lighting of streets, so
will scientific principles be intro
duced into house and home, and as
woman was originally the inventor,
the manufacturer and the provider,
she should again take the reins in
her own hands and be prepared for
any emergency. She should under
stand the shelter-the house itself,
its healthfulness, Its influence on
mind and soul, the food and clothing
which sustain and help the body,
and the general management and
daily care of all those means related
to the one great end. 1t would seem
that architecture offers field for
women, but not many have cared to
grasp the advantages yet. l believe
that women, better than men,, ur1-
derstand the secret of developing
house from the inside, and embrac-
ing simplicity, stability, breadth and
dignity. When more women follow
this study there will be more de-
liohtf11l homes-real houses.

SCARE 'EM.

Henry Ward Beecher was on the
train going home to his Peekskill
farm. His face was wreathed with
smiles. In his hand was a big bou-
quet of lilies of the valley. In the
car he ran into a Baptist clerical
convention. DR.. Edwin Judson the
son of the famous missionary and
now professor of homiletics in
Rockefeller's Baptist college, Chi
cago, was on the train.
Seeing DR.. Judson, Beecher cried
out in his boyish way: "Why, Broth
er Judson, what a crowd of Bap-
fists I've gotten into today, and not
a Presbyterian or a Methodist
"No, Brother Beecher, we're an
orthodox Baptist Bible crowd" said
DR.. Judson, no Henry the Presby-
terian or George the Methodist. It
who baptized our Savior"
"That reminds me-" said Beecher,
"of dream our Brother Holiday
had the other day."
ssWhat was it?" asked sevelAl
Baptists in unison.
S "Well," said Beecher, Brother
Holiday dreamed that a Baptist
minister died-and-went to heav-
en-, of course. St. Peter stood at
the gate, and back down behind was
Satan burning up Methodists, Pres
byterians and sinners generally.
"When the Baptist member
knocked, St. Peter came to the gate
and said:
"'What do you want out here?
"'Why, I want to come in; I'm a
Baptist minister
Baptist, ehl' said St. Peter a
little puzzled. We didn't have any
Baptists in my time" (St. Peter
was the first pope).
"'What do you Baptists do?
asked St. Peter.
"'Why, we baptize people.
"'What in?
Water. John baptized in the
Jordan
"'Suppose it's cold weather?
"'Down they go, right through
the ice!'
"Satan happened to hear the word
ice, and wiping off the perspiration
he asked:
What did you say about ice,
sir?'
Why, we baptize people
through the ice.'
Supposing it is freezing down
below zero?'
down they go, all covered with
icicles.
Iciclesp repeated the evil one.
