years. Having the land, the society
will make a selection from families of

The society will locate the families
on the land, expecting the railways to
give them free transportation. The
society will take care Of the settlers
until they can support themselves, and
as the lands become productive, year

NATIONAL ELECTION DAY.
Why It's the Tuesday After the First
Monday In November.

Why It's the Tuesday After the Ftrst
Monday In November.
Why should the law prescribe 'the
Tuesday next after the first Monday
in November instead of saying 1.-THE
first Tuesday," Like many other small
things this provision introduces an in
teresting picture Of the past.
Although the constitution requires
the electors in all the states to meet
and choose q president on the same
day, it was not until 1916 that a law
was passed by congress providing that
the electors should be chosen on the
same day throughout the United
States. When William Henry Harrison
was the Wing candidate, in 1910, New
York began to vote on the first Monday
in November, and the polls were kept
open until Wednesday night. Election
day in Massachusetts was the second
Monday, but before that day, in this
instance. enough states had voted to de-
eide the contest. The National lntelli-
gencer of that year records that several
thousand aged and intirm Wigs in
Massachusetts did not bother to so to
the polls.
Massachusetts,. Illinois, Indiana and
Pennsylvania were among the early
voting states. Alabama WIS one Of the
last. This diversity, combincd With
slow methods of transmitting news.
left the election results in doubt for
many days:
The system was not satisfactory. The
states that voted early had an undue
influence, on the result. Especially was
this true as communication became
more rapid, and by 1910 al enthusiastic
editor told how the ews from Pitts
burg had been brought to New York in
thirty-five hours. "This," lie added
significantly, sis a sign Of the times"
Congress accordingly decided to es-
tablish Il uniform day. The original
bill named the first Tuesday in No
vember, but it was found necessary to
harmonic this with the requirement
that not more than thirty days should
elapse before the meeting of the elect
oral colleges in the different states,
which had been set for the first
Wednesday in December. When Tues
day is the first day Of November, De-
cember will have no Wednesday till
the seventh. The interval is thirty
seven days. Under the law as it was
passed in 1915 not more than twenty
nine days can clapse between election
day and the first Wednesday in De
cember. Under the law of 1887 the
electors do not meet to give their votes
until the second Monday in January

Courage.

The little men of Japan can give the
world many thrilling stories of courage
and many of clever stratagem as we'll.
One of the powerful mobiles Of the
olden time was forced to flee from his
enemy in haste. \ He hid in a barrel and
was borne away by servants. who.
meeting the enemy, declared that the
barrel contained food.
IF there is anything living i'll ii
there will be blood on my sword" said
the nobleman's enemy and thrust his
weapon into the barrel. 1t went
through the hidden mans legs and
made Il terrible wound. But he, with
quick thought, wiped the blade on the
hem Of his garment as it was drawn
out. so that it Went out clean, and he
was not discovered.
