the paving contract from p. McDon-

the city council. We also stated
that the: council had the-unqua1ified

ACCORDING to Editor Metcalfe, of
the Vrginian, the property-o owner
who objects to having others tell
him what improvements he must
make to his property and how he
shall make them, is entitled to a
place in the category of "chronic
grouches and kickers." True: per
haps, in the instance of Virginia
realty in consideration of
the fact that they have a man of the
vast brain power and varied and
successful experience of Bro. Met
calfe to tell them where their best
interests lie. Many communities
are not blessed with beings of such
wondrous brain power and-nerye.

VoTE-BUYlNG IN ENGLAND.
Bribery Rampant at the Close of the
Eighteenth Century.

Votes have been purchased shame
lessly and on huge scale in British
elections An arrangement was once
made in the borough of Wendover by
which two candidates were to be
elected after distribution of 10000
($30,000) among the voters. The ac-
count reads: This being settled a
gentleman was employed to go down,
when he was met according to pre-
vious appointment by the electors
about mile from the town. The cleo
tors asked the stranger where he
came from. He replied, From the
moon They then asked, What news
from the moon?' He answered that
he had brought from hence $4,000
to be distributed among them. The
electors, being thus satisfied with the
golden news from the moon, chose the
candidates and received their re-
ward"
At Hindon man dressed fantastic
ally as the dancing Punch called at
the house of the voters and left be-
hind him sums of five to ten guineas
($25 to S5O)). Another device was to
collect the citizens at the inns and
hand them their reward through a
hole in the door. For these offenses
the house of commons passed reso-
luton that Hindon should be disfran-
chised, but so lax were the morals of
the time-the close of the eighteenth
century-that the resolution was
never acted upon.
Again in 1859 the Man in the
Moon" turned up in Wakefield. He
went about openly distributing money
and did not appear to be in the least
ashamed of his occupation. At Dub
lin, in 1868, hole in the wall served
the purpose of distributing center
for the G5 $3.50 notes, while at
Shaftesbury an alderman paid through
hole in the door of his office sum
of 20 guineas ($100) to each elector.

Which Is the braver-man or
woman?
This is a question that nobody can
answer, for the simple reason that it
Is impossible to tell to what degree
of heroism either will go when occa,
sion demands. A little girl of five,
who under ordinary conditions would
scream at the sight of tiny flame,
will dash through a conhagration to
save the life of a baby brother who
has fallen into the blaze.
A young woman daintily clad and
afraid in her normal mood to go into
the water without holding to the life
line, will, forgetting self entirely,
plunge into the stormy food to rescue
a drowning person as quickly as the
trained life-saver.
Compared individually with mem
bers OF the opposite sex, women to-
day stand forth ahead, says the New
York World. For instance, the sum-
mer girl and the summer man, classed
together in ordinary affairs, are far
apart when 1t comes to matters of
heroism. 1t Is the summer girl who
shows "the real stuff when it comes
to a pinch.
All summer long there have been
young women who have performed
deeds Of splendid daring. Many Of
them have not been reported in public
print.
This attribute Of bravery on the part
of our women is not new. This sum-
mers exhibitions of it are only new.
And it Is only meet that the story Of
some of them should be told again.
When young Earl Buckley fell from
the pier into the sea at Island Heights,
N. j., only Mrs. V. Floyd Campbell
heard his cry. She screamed for help.
Then, as she saw the lad rise and
sink out Of sight again, she plunged
into the water. She was fully clothed
and swan with difficulty. There was
still enough life in the boy when she
reached him and enough Of desperate
terror to make him very dangerous.
He grabbed Mrs. Campbell, and with
arms around her neck and legs twined
about her body, chung with death
grip.

WRESTLING IN SCOTLAND.
Athletic Sport on the Famous Field at
Grasmere.

SFdSTnSTc.
The sports field at Grasmere lies at
the foot of a characteristic ridge OF
fells, very narrow at the top and as
steep nearly as the side of house.
AS you sit in the grandstand this
ridge rises up in front OF you.
On the bare, precipitous slopes of it
the guides race is run. On the YER
dant lawn on which the grandstand
is placed the wrestling matches are
held and those spectators who are not
in the stand make ring around the
lawn. There are coaches and car
riages, too, all around, on which PEG
pie sit and watch and have picnic
luncheons, and it all looks rather like
Lords cricket ground reduced in size
In Cumberland wrestling the fall is
won directly man is thrown to the
ground. There is no need to pin the
shoulders down as in Graeco-Roman
wrestling Here at Grasmere all is
ended just when the Graeco-Roman
catch-as-catch-c Gamers would be get
ting to the serious work. Were it not
so the Grasmere sports would last all
the year round. AS it was, several
matches went on at the same time.
Many of, the men had their tights
embroidered with wonderful flowers
or designs in silk or wool-the work
of their women folk, who were now
straining to get a glimpse Of how the
charm worked from the swaying
ranks of the people around the
ground.
Boys wrestled; men with white
hair, who had gained in experience
what they had lost in elasticity, wres
tied. The boys seemed to be young
Orlandos tremendously trying fall
with the Charleses of the profession,

my" Her calls brought aiu, and the
burglar was arrested.
But the interest always comes back
most strongly to the woman who
rushes voluntarily into danger to save
the lives OF others. Near Cedar Grove,
n. j., a horse attached to a light run
about became frightened at q passing
auto and dashed at high speed along
the turnpike. In the carriage were
two girls, and in her fright the one
who was driving dropped the reins.
1.-THE horse was on a dead run when it
approached a field in which Miss
Pauline Weiss was picking daisies.
The two girls were clinging to each
other and crying out in terror. Miss
Weiss dropped her apron, half filled
with flowers, vaulted over the four
rail fence and ran to the middle of
the road. She seized the bride of the
horse as it got abreast of her. and
held on, swaying back and forth and
saving on the bit, for more than a
hundred yards.
Quite similar to this was the dar-
ing act of Mrs. George Corwin, of
Stamford. She seized the bit of a
frantic horse dashing toward a crowd
in the main street of Bridgeport, and
by her courage and presence of mind
undoubtedly saved the lives or limbs
of more than one person.
Miss Annie Barner hesitated not q
moment to risk horrible death I'M
der the wheels of Pennsylvania rail
way train at Elizabeth N. j., to save
the life of two-year-old Edward Cope
land, who had wandered to the track
The speeding locomotive was almost
on him when Miss Barner climbed up
the steep embankment, seized the
child and drew him out of danger.

Frantic Struggle for Life.

Then came a frantic struggle for
life. She struck the boy in the face
and tried to choke him. His weight
under the surface. When they rose
again she put forth all her strength
to drag their weight nearer the shore,
where the shadows would give her a
foothold. Her efforts were successful
and thus she brought the boy to land,
and together they fell on the beach,
exhausted.
At Lake Hopatcong Miss Edna Hart
man saved the lives of four drowning
persons on as many occasions. Miss
Hartman is only Is years old, very
pretty and splendid swimmer An
other heroine of Lake Hopatcong is
Miss Effle Field, Of Rutherford, N. j.,
who plunged into the water in her
Sunday finery and rescued Walter
Hutchinson, 12-year-old boy, in the
nick of time.
Mrs. Frederick G. Ware has just
added another rescue to the Ia she
has made in the nine years that she

girls, three women and two men from

Of the most difficult, was that of Mrs.
Charles Cahill, who fell into the canal
where the water is II feet deep. Mrs
Ware leapod In after her, fully
dressed, and after a hard struggle In
the presence of several men, who
were too frightened to give aid
brought the unconscious woman to
shore.
