Why should the law prescribe ''th,

things this provision introduces an In

Although the constitution requires
the electors In all the states TO meet

day, 1t was not until 1S45 that 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 Whig 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

instance. enough states had voted to de-
eide the contest. The National Intelll.

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 lS40 an enthusiastic
editor told how the news from Pitts
burg had been brought to New York In
thirty.fise hours This" he added
significantly, sis sign OF the times"
Congress accordingly decided to es.

that not more than thirty days should

A good cat-the kind you want to

She Was Stuck on the Place

A strange thing happened in this
village recently during lull in the
heavy rains, and 1t happened to one
poor, lone hen, and caused her owner
TO gaze and wonder in astonishment.
This particular hen In question has a
brood of about twenty chickens which
she is forced to scratch for and shell
ter from hawks and do other things
that are necessary for motherly hens
to look out for when chickens are
young.
Well. it happened that one morning
the rain stopped for few hours and
the ground was exceedingly soft and
susceptible to the pedal extremities of
all kinds of walking creatures, espe-
cially hens. Mrs. Hen started out to
scratch for few choice worms and
bugs.
About an hour later her owner
came into the yard and saw her
scratching on the ground and sup
posed she was covering her chicks
from some passing hawk. He went
up to her, but she did not start. And
good reason, too; she was stuck in
the mud up to her feathery breast.
The man, of course, extricated Mrs.
II. from her embarrassing position
and she hustled back into the barn
TO wait until the ground dried
