aunts," he retorted. ! want this de-
bauching of the electorate stopped" be

PEOPLE who expect to vote in the
municipal election next year will have
to pay their poll taxes prior to the
second Tuesday in December of this
year. That will be six months
prior to election, and those who fail tn
pay before that time will lose their
votes. 1t is fair to remind those who
have to pay taxes this year that they will
have to pay prior to December y, as on
aud after that day the penalty is added
by law. 1t is better TO pay all at one
time and thus escape the loss OF vote
and the addition of the penalty. The
time is very short, and unless the voters
attend to this matter at once they are
apt to be found among those whose
names will not appear on the list of those
entitled to vote.

AMERICAS FOREIGN SCENES
No Better Way to Go Abroad Than to
Start Journey in Southeastern
Pennsylvania.

Those of our fellow citizens who
imagine that the only way to go
abroad is via a transatlantic liner,
need to get acquainted with certain
spots in southeastern Pennsylvania
There is no better starting point and
time for his voyage after novel sights
aud interesting experiences than the
city of Lancaster the seat of the richest
county in the state, on any local mar
ket day, says w. H. Richardson, in
Four-Track News Most Of these
people are representatives of one
of the most curious survivals in all
America, the Amish Mennonites, a
schism of the Mennonite society which
seeded from the main body about the
year 1893. So far as language, manners,
dress and traditions are concerned the
Amish, as they are locally known, are
foreigners in America. Their tongue is
almost the same as that of their ances-
tors from the far-off Rhine two CEN
turtles ago; the dress of the women sug-
gests Holland or Brittany Of to-day;
their religion, with it's austerities and Is
curious practices and observances,
smacks of the days of the reformation.
