Tle Inst Straw,

1t was Saturday night, and. owing
to the temporary absence Of his wife, it
fell to Mr.. Brown to attend to the usual
process Of giving his eight-year-old son
a bath and putting him to bed. He had
left his evening paper with mans re-
luctance and had hurried matters along
with more speed than the little chap
was accustomed to. However, he en-
dured it without a protest until 1t
came to the prayer. 1t was his habit
after "Now | lay me" to ask the divine
blessing upon long list Of relatives
and friends, calling each by name.
"Please, Cod" he began, bless papa
and mamma. grandpa and grandma
and Aunt Edith and Uncle George
and A pause. His father, thinking
to curtail the list of benefciaries, softly
insinuated an amen" Not needing
the interruption, the little supplicant
drew a long breath and continued.
"And Aunt Alice and Cousin Annie and
and Again his father said "Amen."
This was more than flesh and blood
could stand, and, lifting his little head.
he exclaimed. with tears Of indignation

following decision being rendered by the
board:
After a full hearing of testimony OF
six members OF the Democratic ward
ing an affidavit from the remaining MEM
ber of said committee and after hearing
the arguments OF counsel. this board is
of the opinion and therefore decides that
n fair preponderance of the testimony es-
tablishes the fact that due notice 'f the

pointed at the adjourned meeting of said
