P1Ay 70 VOTR. THEN TOTE.

s
 There win be an election next Tues day. It is the duty of every voter to take part in 1t. It is especially the duty of every voter who believes in and desires the continuance of Repub- lican principles and practice. Of course Republican voters are more than sure that their man and their cause are going to win. They are going to, un- less all signs fall. But while care has killed cats, carelessness has killed ele- plants. So no Republican voter should recline on fiowery bed of ease next Tuesday, when he should be up and voting. Every Republican voter should feel that perhaps on his vote may de- pend the fate Of the nation. It is easy to underestimate the importance of one vote. It. is not easy to overesti- mate what its importance may be. Therefore every Republican voter should plan to vote next Tuesday if he lives and can move or be carried. If 1t turns out that every Republican vote isn't absolutely needed to carry the election 1t will be needed to teach the Democrats that if they ever want to be restored to favor they must hast en to do works meet for repentance.

NEW TENANTS OF OLD HOUSES.

Down here in New Hampshire one of the first things to Impress new conner is the great number of deserted homes and abandoned farms. If you were to ask how they came to be aban- doned, you would find that there were about as many answers as there are deserted houses; each house has it's own story, though in many cases this Story will never be told. Some were deserted because of the harshness of parents; others because of Wayward- ness of children; others still because the niggard soil would not yield Q living. Here you will find a house whose occupant committed suicide, and there is. one know of whose owner was murdered years ago, and whose body has not been found. But 1t is an 1 i'll wind which blows good to no one, l and there are many who have profited by the desertion of these old houses. I have visited many so-called desert- ed farms since came down here, and almost all of them have new tenants Inow-tenants whose ancestors owned this country thousands of years before Columbus was a baby.
 Among the first to take possession of these old places were the birds. There are few of them indeed which cannot boast at least one pair of Phoebes in the summer. Occasionally these gentle 1 little f1ycatehers will build outside on some projecting bit of woodwork un- der the leaves; perhaps more often they go right inside through a broken win ow or some half-open door, and build ltheir home on the mantelpiece or above a window-frame. Sometimes I find them in the cellar on one of the beams, and on such a site last summer watched a pair of Phoebes rear two broods of five.
 The chimney swifts, too, were quick to note that there were no fires in the chimneys of these houses, and were prompt to take advantage of the face. All summer long these stiff-looking birds were to be seen, wheeling in wide circles over the old farm lands, fitting bat-like above the houses, or, with wings raised over their backs, drop ping like plumn1ets to their sunless homes.
 One day about two weeks ago. was hiding In one of these deserted houses to watch for deer, which often came into the orchard for the fallen apples. Hearing a slight noise behind me, I turned my head slowly. and there was 8 chipmunk sitting on the top of an old wooden bin, and looking straight at me. His check pouches were full of what I afterwards discovered were ap-
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-11-05

pie seeds. He sat watching me for a few minutes. and as I didn't move. ran to a hole which had been gnawed in the top of the bin. and into 1t he whisked. Presently he was out again, with the swelling gone from his face. and in moment he was seampering across the orchard, where he sat down on stone and began biting small apple to pieces to get at the seeds.
 In another ancient dweiling-this was in The Blue Mountain Forest Game Preserye-I chaneed to open an old closet and found upwards of a dozen white-footed mice which popped out of large and snug nest made entirely of buffalo hair. I have seen or heard mice in many another of these old buildings, and there are brown rats in few of them at least. I noticed a pair of weasels emerge from one old cellar, and in the mud upon the floor Of another, there were the footprints of a large raccoon. In a cottage sur- rounded by woodland I found the floors gnawed by the teeth of porcupines. The gnawing had been done chiefly along the cracks between the planking, possibly because here more than else where. the boards were soaked with salty grease, delicacy much beloved by porcupines. Porcupines are so fond of salt in any form that it Is no un- common thing for them to ruin oars, paddles and other implements by gnaw- ing at those parts which have been held in the hand, and in which salt has been deposited from the persspira- ton. .
 But shier creatures than these have learned that there is no longer any thing to fear in these silent, weather beaten buildings. Rabbits and wood- ehucks frequent them with impunity; the former usually run out and the lat ter run in when and one approaches.
 But what surprised me most of all one July evening. was to see in what had once been the barnyard of one of these old farms, fox with four well- grown cubs. I came upon them sud- denly, or I might have enjoyed the sight at my leisure; as 1t was, the old lady caught sight of me on the instant, and there was a wild scramble for the mouth of the. den. good d-sized hole un- der the floor of the barn, where they vanished in less time than it takes to tell of it.
