RUNNING MASS MEETINGS.
In Presidential Campaigns They Are
as Carefully Managed as
Theatrical Circuits.

In arranging the mass meetings in
sections where the committee thinks
speeches will be effective" writes Mr..
Day Allen Wiley in an article on Run
ming the Campaign" in Pearson's, lit
plans out routes as carefully as the the
atrical manager maps his circuit; but the
difference between the orator and the &C
tor is that the former plays only one
night stands, sometimes speaking at two
or three towns in "a hours. The politi-
cal circuit has it's stars as we'll as the
dramatic profession. Senators and poll
ticians of national repute, who visit only
the larger towns and are welcomed with
parades, fireworks and other forms of en-
thusiasm, travel in special cars or trains
The biggest men are, of course, reserved
to be used where the fight is the hottest.
First and foremostis the candidate. His
programme during the last few months
before election day is prepared with the
greatest care, for merely his presence in
one of the doubtful states may roll up
majority in his favor. Prestige counts
for great deal in campaign, and every
man who has any sort of d reputation,
local, state or national, is of some value
to the party, even if he: is an Indifferent
speaker" 49,: - 49,

WHEN THE CLOCK TICKS LOUD.

There are times when life Is something
When the surface shows no ripple though
the stream Is swift and deep;
When the good that's in the worst OF US
has taken US in tow
And has famed loves fading embers till
they fash again and glow;
When we feel there's something in US has
escaped the madding crowd
When it's quiet in the evening and the
clock ticks loud.
When the CRATE fires crimson afterglow
Is graying into gloom,
that cozy little room,
When the cat upon the hearth rug yawns
and drifts again to dreams,
Vhen how very like the heaven we have
learned to long for seems
That delightful little chamber with the
magic charm endowed
When it's quiet in the evening and the
clock ticks loud.
Not word to break the stiffness, yet
there's music in the air
Music born of softeat silence, music sweet
and low and rare;
For the one who sits beside you is your
sweetheart, and you know
Ihat she loves you, for she we'd you many
patient years ago;
And her love songs. born Of silence, make
you brave and great and proud,
When it's quiet in the evening and the
clock ticks loud

looking to right and left among the
massive pillars that were both en-
phasized and screened by the dropping
palms. There were few persons in
sight, a semi-invalid or two lounging
about, an old gentleman reading a
newspaper, and now and then a sight

eyes. Most Of the guests were over on

BELIEVE IN SNAKE STONE.
Natives Of South Africa Are Convinced
That It Always Absorbs, \
Poison,

South Africans, as a rule. trouble
themselves but little about snakes, al
though it is very we'll known that few
varieties are particularly deadly, says
South Africa. Among the natives the
properties of the "snakestone" have for
many generations formed a center Of
half superstitious credulity, and, even
by people who might be expected to know
better, have been supposed to effect the
most surprising cures of snakebite. An
investigation of it's properties by the
government bacteriologist of Natal, who
submitted an Indian snakestone to the
test of applying it to animals infected
with snake venom, has shown conclu-
sively that it's properties are quite myth
ical and that it does nothing that is
claimed for it.
According to tradition the snakestone,
which has absorbent qualities and which
there is some reason to believe is fire.
euently artifcially prepared, is placed on
the wound inflicted by snake. There is
Is believed to suck out the poison, and it
has been said that if afterward placed in
bowl of milk the venom will eXude and
the milk turn blue.
In certain experiments narrated il the
British Medical Journal ali t6ess 1ifsc:-
tons were followed. To the two rabbits
injected respectively, with the venom of
black mamba, very deadly South
African coulbrine, and with puff adder
venom, the snakestone was at once ap-
piled. The stone, by virtue of its absorb
ent nature, adhered to the wound, but
here it's adherence to tradition ended
Both rabbits died, and, what was more
disappointing, two other rabbits, used as
control experiment." which were in
jected with the same amount of venom,
recovered. Nor when the stone was
placed in milk did the milk change color,
though a slight quantity of it was alb
sorbed.
The amount of absorption that the
stone could possibly effect would be no
more in hours than ordinary suction by
the lips could achieve in few minutes,
and it's only possible usefulness might be
that of improving the physical condition
Of the patient by impressing him with
the belief that a valuable remedy was be-
ing applied.

BALL TELLS: CHICAGO TIME.
Government Instrument on Masonic

Few Citizens.

Herald.
Nope" was the reply and he returned
to the stare into space.
What are you looking for? Are you
crazy?"
Nope" again: waiting for noon so
can set my watch"
Quite a crowd gathered around him
and all curiously gazed into space. They
could see nothing but they waited for de-
velopments, continuing to gaze aioft.
The crowd increased until it blocked the
sidewalk. Still he stood, watch in hand.
More people stopped to gaze and wonder.
Finally his friend said: !"
Tell me what you are waiting for, peo-
pie will think you are crazy" ;:
WELL" he said; "do you see that big
ball at the top Of the pole on the Masonic
Temple? That ball is set up there by the
government. Promptly at noon, Chicago
time, man at Washington presses a
key. That releases the ball and it falls,
giving Chicago official government
time" Before his friend could speak the
ball fell into it's socket. The man set his
watch and walked on. As he crossed the
street Increasing policeman called out:
SAY, you! Don get around so soon
tomorrow. 1fyou collect crowd there
every day I'll get called down by the ser
geant. If I do you'll be locked upfor OBJ

And still only few of Chicago's thou
sands are aware of the fact that Wash
ington notifies all Chicago Of the noon
hour by dropping a big ball on the roof
of the Masonic Temple.

AUSTRALIAN IS "a EASY GOING.
Sun Is So Hot on the Island Continent
&. the People Are Deficient .s5z.
=. in Energy. ssf# .. T ~. 81

An isolated Englishman would al
ways remain an Englishman If his des-
ert island were in the north Atlantic.
There is a saying, however, writes Sid
ney Letter, in Montreal Herald, that
an Englishman drops his morals when
he crosses the equator. That is pretty
rough on. those who live here down
under" but it need not be interpreted
more literally than to hint at the in
huence Of climate on character. There
is nothing new in that theory, at least
since the days of Buckle. The idea
usually held, however, is. that 1t is only,
a climate of rigorous cold that can
breed good men. On that ground, Can
adams can look to the future of their
race with confidence, knowing that the
virtues OF energy. industry, determina-
ton and hardihood will inspire the
generations yet unborn. But the ,flercest
and longest winter does not call forth
that grim courage, patient determine
ton and unbreakable hopefulness
which alone can carry a man safely
through a. seven-year Australian
drought.
There are, I think, few settlers in
Canada who would stagger stolidly on
like an Australian when he saw his
sheep dying by thousands and not a
blade Of green or a drop of water on
his holding. Even for the city man
in his Office it needs more resolution
and concentration of mind to do q
heavy days work in a muggy atmos-
phere of 100 degrees than it needs to
face your widest winter storm: Yet
slowly but surely, as the generations
follow each other, this southern sun
will wither Australian energies. !. You
see it'now in the lounging*gait of those
you meet on the streets. Commercial
men who come to Australia all COM
mention the easy-going way in which
business is conducted. -
People out here not only do not hus-
tie themselves, but they do not bother
their heads about anyone who does.
OFTEN one has to make repeated calls
on man to settle a matter of business
that might easily have been arranged
In five minutes. Punctality and dis
patch, however, are not Australian
qualities. No person goes to work be-
fore, nine o'clock in the morning, and
many business men, like the fountains
in Trafalgar square and the clerks in
the foreign Office, play only from ten
to four. 1t is all very we'll for the
new chum to laugh at this, but after
a year or two he may find that he, too
has lost the secret of the strenuous
life.
Of course, if Australians were wise
they would adapt themselves more
than they do to the peculiarities of
their climate. A noon siesta is just as
suitable to Australia as it is to
Spain or Italy or India. Far more
could be accomplished in the day if
business was besun early in the morn
ing andk s0sHended during the heat of
the day, But, shackled by custom, the
Australians keep not only to the old
British working hours, but to plum
pudding at midsummer Christmas and
the conventional silk hat and frock coat
for street wear. But though they may
stubbornly defy the climate in these
respects, they cannot resist it's more
subtle influence on the general charac-
