The city attorney of South Omaha has
made a discovery. According to his YER
sion the new primary election law max
ing the day set for primary also the first
day Of registration does not abrogate the
old election law that provides for three
days Of registration. To a man of or
binary sense this would mean four days
of registration. The legislature surely
never intended to impose such a need
less burden upon the taxpayers. On the
contrary in setting apart the day of the
primary as registration day the law
makers contemplated the registration of
the bulk of the voters on that day even
though they may have bungled in the
attempt.

The Marquis of Ripon was studying
American institutions along in the SOS and
wandered into the state house In Boston
one afternoon. In a corner OF one of the
leather seats the marquis observed a young
man Of bright face, and sat down to talk
with him. The nobleman was a little con-

soon betrayed the fact that he thought his

was one OF the strong forces which checked
a stampede of the Irish American vote In
New York state to Blaine in 1884. He pre-
sided over the st. Louis convention which

1892 in the Chicago wigwam effectively COM
batted the opposition OF Tammany. The
reward which came 10 him was a choice
Of two places in the cabinet both Of which
he declined for the reason that the could
not afford the expense a cabinet position
entailed. A much more lucrative office,
that OF consul general to London, was Of

severely criticised in certain quarters the
main objection being the improperly OF
sending an Irish-born American and Feman

For Catherine, Madam Cavendish
had no glance of admiration nor word,
though she had tended her faithfully
all the day before and half the night,
rubbing her with an effusiOn of herbs
and oil for her rheumatic pains. Yet
for her Madam Cavendish had no love
and treated her with a stately tolera-
ton and no more Mary understood no
cause for it and often looked, as she
did then, with distressful wonder at
her grandmother when she seemed to
hold her sister so sIightingly.

escape from being pressed as Maid

and looked not at Catherine but turn

kindness which she wore for me alone.

that / had not
Then, to my dismay, she turned to
Mary and inquired what were the
goods which she had ordered from
England and, to my greater dismay,

and mischief in her blue eyes as

my masculine comprehension.
Madam Cavendish nodded approx
ingly when she had done. Ills

the ship comes in have the goods
brought here and unpacked, that I
may see them" With that she rose

looked as If she could scarcely stand

another, went out. tapping her stick
heavily on one side. on the other lean

and wild dancing and wavings Of their
gadsticks and green branches
Mistress Mary rode before us at a
gaIlop, and presently we were all at
the breakfast table In the great hall at
Drake Hill. with foaming tankards OF
metheglin and dishes of honey and sal
mon and game in plenty For. what
ever the scarcity Of the kings gold,
there was not much lack Of food in
this rich country.
Madam Cavendish was down that
morning. sitting at table with her stick
beside her. her head topped with a
great tower of snowy cap, her old face
now ivory yellow but with wonder
full precision of feature, for she had
been great beauty in her day, SO
alert and alive with the ready compre-
hension of her black eyes, under slight
~ scowsing brows, that naught escap-
ed her hat was within her reach of
vision Somewhat dull was she of
hearing. but that sharpness Of eye did
much te atone for it. She LOOKED up
when we entered with such keenness
that for a second my thought was that
she knew all.
what We're the sounds of merry
making down the road?'' said She
s'Twas the morris dancers and the
maypole. IT'S the LIST Of May, as
you know, madam, said Mary in her
sweet voice, made clear and loud to
reach her grandmother's ear. Then
up she went to kiss her, and the old
woman eyed her with pride, which she
was fain to conceal by Gliding. "You
will ruin your complexion if you go
out in such wind without your
mask" she said, and looked at the
maiden's roses and lilies with that rap
ture of admiration occasioned half by
memory of her own charms which had
faded and half by understanding of

lily of the day that they must needs
come in advance, even before the
horses which dragged the maypole.
Six of them there were. so bedecked
with ribbons and green garlands that
| marveled they could see the road
and were not wild with fear But
they seemed to enter into the spirit Of
it all and stepped highly ami daintlly
with proud archings of necks and toss
ings of green plumed heads and be-
hind them the maypole rasped and
bumped and grated. the trunk Of a

like the stubble of shaggy beard Of
yiriIity.
And after the maypole came surely
the queerest company of morris dane
ers that ever the world saw, except
those of which | have heard tell which
danced in Herefordshire in the reign of
King james, those being composed of
ten men whose ages made up the sum
of twelve hundred years. These, while
not SO ancient as that, were still of
the oldest men to be come at who
could move without crutehes and
whose estate was not of too much dig
nifty for such sports
And Maid Marion was the oldest
and smallest of them all, riding her
hobby horse, dressed in yellow petit
coat and a crimson stomacher, with a
great wig of yellow fax hanging down
under her gilt crown, and painted
mask to hide her white beard. And
after Maid Marion came dancing, with
stiff struts and gambols, old men as
gayly attired as might be with gar
lands of peach blossoms on their gray
heads, bearing gadsticks of peeled will
low boughs wound with cowslips and
ringing bells and blowing horns with
all their might And after them troop
ed young men and maids, all fiinging
their heels aloft and waving with
green and flowers and shouting and
singing till 1t seemed the whole colony
was up and mad.
Mistress Catherine and ! stood well
to one side to let them pass by, but
when the morris dancers reached us
and caught sight of Catherine in her
green robes standing among the green
bushes. above which her fair face
looked, half with dismay, half with a
quick leap Of sympathy with the merri-
ment for there was in this girl ii
strange spirit Of misruse beneath ali
