a voting Afachlne Comedr.

Machines are not supposed to be
endowed with emotions. Yet voting
machines for instance, may play con-
spicuous parts in a humorous comedy.
That was certainly the case at the re-
cent election in Jersey City Mayor
Pagan was running for reelection on
the Republican ticket. and he could
not succeed without the aid of Demo-
cratic votes.
One of the mayors brilliant oppo-
nents conceived the idea of putting vot-
ing machines in the strong Democratic
wards, OF course, the voters wouldn't
know how to split their votes, and in
their anxiety to vote for the regular
ward candidates they would vote the
straight Democratic ticket.
Melancholy and cruel as it may
seem, the voters didn't look at this
plan in the same light as the designers.
They were told about it before cleo
ton day and agreed that the scheme
was a pretty one.
Great joke they were told.
Eyes, tits a great joke" they agreed.
''And by way of carrying it out we'll
vote the straight Republican ticket to
make sure"
So it has come to pass that for the
first time Hudson county is sending to
the legislature a solid Republican
delegation of twelve members.-N. 7.

same was said Of the late Mr.. McKin-
ley. The very charge was an admis-
sion of Mr.. Pattisons originality and
shrewdness. It argued we'll for his
ability that he saw a better Opportun-
ity in a direct appeal to his party than
in the cut and dried method of pro-
pitiating the party leaders.
From this standpoint alone John HI.
Pattison Is a deeply interesting man.
His record both in business and in
public shows him to be a man in ad-
vance of MS time rather than a man
who is the mere adapter of popular
ciamor to his own personal uses. In
congress he introduced the first bill
providing for the federal supervision OF
insurance. That was long before the
present New York legislative investi-
cation was contemplated. He worked
and voted to secure the first rural free
delivery appropriation. The experts OF
that time had so little confidence in
the experiment that the postofice re-
turned that appropriation as an unex-
pended balance. but the farmers of to-
day know its worth. In the state sen
ate Mr. Pattison held out against the
solid front Of his party when, in 1880.
an attempt was made to repeal the law
closing saloons on Sunday. For his
opposition to that repeal his opponents
dubbed him a Puritan, an advocate Of
the blue laws
John NJ Pattison was born on a farm
in Clermont county, O., June Is, 1s47
His father was in humble circum-
stances, being only a tenant farmer and
afterward the proprietor Of a small
country store. That of itself tells the
story of the boys early life At six
teen he enlisted and served during the
closing days of the civil war. He aft
erward taught school until he had
earned money sufficient to attend the
Ohio Wesleyan university at Delaware
o. The class with which he was grad
uated has a remarkable record. It has
furnished a vice president, two United
states senators. three governors. one
attorney general, several members OF
the national house Of representatives,

the new spot, I took my heavy express
rife and started into the jungle TO look
for the beautiful antlered Sumatra
deer.
Tt was extremely thick. and the high
trees made the forest almost as dark
as if it We're evening, although the
sun was high. I stepped softly, and to
do this, I often had to look down pref
ty closely SO as to avoid creepers and
other tangled vegetation that Obstruct-
ed the ground and made nasty traps for
uuWary feet.
I had just cleared particularly bad
tangle and was In the very act of
raising my eyes again to peer ahead,
when 1 became aware of something
hanging almost in front of me. Before
I had more than perceived the thing
it moved backward and then forward
like q flash. and the next instant it
drove straight at my chest and struck
me such a terrific blow that it would
unfailingly have crushed my sternum
if I had not been protected by my
heavy cartridge belt which hung across
my breast from one shoulder

least five feet as if I had been a tennis

downward full length from tree, and
the creature had done what these great
snakes do almost always under such
circumstance had rammed its long
hard head at me with the force Of a
hammer.
All the wind was knocked out of me,
ana I was half stunned But I re-
tanned consciousness enough to reach
out for my gun as soon as got over
the first shock. And the next move
was to roll away to avoid a second
attack.
In this however, I was too late; be
fore my hand had closed on my gun,
i felt the cold BODY of the sernenf
and then a sunocating weight as coil
after coil of the monster fell slowly
upon me.
In another moment one of the thick

there was no chance to hit the mon
ster that had me; but 7 hoped that
the shots might bring help, though it
looked desperately unlikely that help
could reach me in time.
However, fired all the five shots as
quickly as I could, and the explosions
had the good effect of startling the
serpent so that it uncoiled itself par
TALLY at the first shock, and I slipped
out and dropped to the ground, so
badly squeezed that I could not move
but lay in a heap where I tumbled.
Within five minutes, while the great
snake was still quivering and alter
nately expanding and contracting its
came huTrying to the scene.
When they caught sight of me they
set up a great shout and the big snake
tried to crawl up into the tree and get
away But I saw its retreat in time
and ordered the men to get into the
tree after it, While others hurried back
to the camp for ropes and machetes
The ropes were passed to the men
in the tree and they went boldly at the
python. 1t struck at them and when
they lodged it opened its vast jaws
with frightening cape and Missed like
a steam engine, But soon it was beset
by more than thirty natives, each of
whom had hold of some part of its
body. despite all its wriggling and
twisting. They broke its hold on the
branches by cutting them off with their
machetes, and all at once the big snake
began to come down, a prisoner.
In the meantime other men had cut
down young tree and trimmed all it's
branches off. AS soon as the big snake
was on the ground the sapling was
held alongside of it and ropes were
quickly wound around both from one
end to the other Thus they stretched
out the big snake and carried it in
triumph to camp, and in the same
manner it finally went to the coast.
It reached Europe in good condi-
ton. and is alive still. It is one of the
really big snakes in captivity. for it
measures fourteen feet.

rfble thing wreathed Itself. Then, when
/ thought that the next tightening
would surely crush all my bones into
splinters, the snake ceased and began
TO pull itself up into the tree, to which
it still clung with its tail.
My weight did not seem to bother It

obtained to crush me at its leisure

ate from the district which included
his native county. He had Transferred
his home from Cincinnati to Milford
in CIermont county and was eligible
for the honor. He had already put
himself on record as an advocate OF the
Sunday closing law and a strong Op-
position was arrayed against him. The
saloon interests banded together 20 de-
feat him, but he won. That victory
and his subsequent work in the legis-
lature sent him to congress when
Cleveland was president and Crisp ia
the speakers chair. Before the close
of his term Ohio had been redistrfctsd
and Mr.. Pattison found himself q resi-
dent Of district with a large Repub-
lican majority.
Personally Governor Elect Pattison
is short and slender, brown eyed and
with a luxuriant head and beard of
black hair that has thus far resisted
the inrOads Of time. The beard con-
ceals a square, strong jaw and ac-
centuates the thin, mobile lips and the
firm expression of the mouth. His
features are regular and well modelled
and his healthy complexion and erect
bearing, coupled with his energy and
bodily activity, are rare in a man Of
fifty eight. He can make an interest
ing speech, but he Is not an orator. He
makes his best impression in personal
contact when one succeeds in pene-
trating his natural reserve and shy
ness. He Is man who has faced the
problems of life squarely and without
prejudice, being open to conviction and
anxious for light. When he decides.
however the opportunity for arsu-
ment has passed.
The Pattisons have a beautiful coun-
try home, a genuine farm, at Milford,

miles out of Cincinnati. Mrs Patti

lessor williams, who held the chair OF

sity. There are two daughters and a
