Charles Hanson, Che famous English
architect. was a talented man in many
respects other than in the exercise of
his profession. He was dining on
certain day with a few friends when
one Of them tauntcd him with being
unable to invent vehicle which would
supcrsede the Old fashioned hacks and
cabs In universal use In London. Mr..
Hanson got Il sheet of paper, and
without any delay he sketched out his
idea Of a safe and convenient mode of
passing through the crowded streets
of the great metropolis. His friends
watched him while he was at work
and unanimously applauded the sketch
which he had drawn. They dubbed IL
10y the name Of its inventor. and II was
then aud there called Hanson car"
One of those present advised him TO
take out patent for II, which he said
he would do on the morrow. A.. Howev.
er, there was one dishonest man in the
company, by whom he was forestalled.
for on reaching his own house that
evening and being, like Mr.. HansoIs.
| a clever craftsman, as all great archi-
tccts are. he sketched out car like
the drawing he had seen, and early the
following morning he took it to the
office and got out patent for it in
his own name. thus robbing the talent
ed inventor OF all the remuneration
which he deserved to reap from it. II

The Very Best Of Feeling Prevails--A
Light Vote Cast Up to the Noon
Hour, Which Rather Puzzled
Leaders--Earnes Workers.

Up to press time this afternoon
nothing has occurred to mar'the peace
and quietude of the municipal cleo
ton Up to this hour everything has
ran smoothly. Peace and good feeling
have characterized this election and 1t
is to be hoped from now until the polls
close the same condition will prevail
That this election has been an extra
ordinary one cannot be doubted. Ard
more, I'm fact has witnessed nothing
like It for years. There has been more
politics discussed during the past three
weeks and more political meetings
held than ever before. Considerable
feeling has manif sted itself since the
fight began, and as many elections
heretofore have been characterized by
disorder, It was naturally expected
that there would be fights galore but
so far nothing like this has happened.
Law and order have prevailed and it
reflects great credit upon the citizens
OF Ardmore that this condition today
exists II chiefly demonstrates that
the citizens cannot AFFORD to engage in
political rows. The town cannot al
ford to have # published to the world
that Ardmore is the hotbed of political
hatred. The Ardmoreite congratulate
the people that law and order is be
ing maintained and that there has
been no disposition shown among the
voters TO engage in trouble.
The polls opened promptly this
morning at the appointed hour. There
was great rush TO vote. Workers
were out in full force 70 work in be.
half of their respective tickets. The
best of feeling prevailed among the
workers.
The greatest rush at the polls was
| l. tween the hours of 8 and 10. Then
there was a letup. Toward noon a
good vote was being polled, but moth
ing what was expected by the leaders
/ Tho total vote pollsd up TO noon was
considered rather light by those init.
nate with the political situation. This
light vote was puzzling to the candi
/ 6ltes. No explanation was attempted
1t was condition that could not be
explained. II was supposed that the
bulk Of the vote would be polled dur.
! ing the morning hours, but such was
not the case. The vote by wards up tc
NON was as follows:

states that the use of this ration has di-

their health has improved.
1t has been lately stated that a large
plant recently erected i'm Louisiana for
the manufacture Of corn glucose has
been experimenting with molasses as a
stock feed and with bagasse as an alb
sorbant to make the molasses available
as dry stock feed. 1t has been ex-

bly, come when the manufacture of
stock feeds containing molasses will
be a great industry.
