last evening the frst signs of what
promises 10 DE one OF the most interest
ing oampaigns ever held in this city were
shown In the number and enthusiasm or
those attending the registration meeting
of the Young Mems Democratic club
held at Gelb's parlor.
The rooms were crowded with prominent
loyal Democrats, who gathered TO listen
10 the remarks Of Hon. James G. Mono
chan of the department of commerce and
labor at Washington.
When the appetzing spread was set 10
appease the inner man was disposed OF.
President John Doran introduced as the
1rst speaker Thomas Carroll OF this city.
The gist OF Mr. CarrolPs remarks was
90 urge the Democrats OF the city, par
sicularly the younger ones, 10 register SO
as TO be ready for the coming campaign.
He urged this as the highest duty OF the
citizen TO his state, and said the Demo-
Gratis did not want longer to allow II TO
be said that one body OF citizens was lax
In performing this duty
Thomas p Corcoran OF Pawtucket made
. brief address along the same general
lines, and ended by telling what the con-
dtions were at the present time In the
city OF Pawtucket. He stated that Her
culean work is being done there TO make
the registry OF voters this year the largest
that has been known in the history of
Pawtucket
The next speaker introduced was Col
onel Patrick III. Quinn, who urged the
same exercise OF duty as did the two
previous speakers. Colonel Quinn said
there was no question that the sentiment
OF this city and this congressional dis
trict was anti-Republican, and IL only
remained for the voters 10 be allowed
20 express their views at the polls. Every
man who had a principle TO stand for
should make himself ready 10 do so by
registering for the coming election.
Colonel Quinn then assailed the Re
publican party for the laws Il had passed
IN the past % years 10 restrict the Demo-
cratic voter and 20 gain advantages for
itself at the expense OF the people. The
party In power, he said. refused 20 al
low registration TO continue until October
as should be the case, thus causing a
shrinkage Of the registration.
Colonel Quinn expressed the hope that
at the next election the best man would
win with the largest number or votes
honestly obtained. thus showing the true
sentiment OF the people OF the state
Sam III. Bullock followed this speaker
and his remarks were along the same
line. urging that all personal differences
be subjected to the common good OF all
the people as represented by the princi-
pies OF true Democracy.
Mr.. Monaghan was the next speaker and
when he rose he was given an ovation.
He awoke the enthusiasm of those nrns-
: ent by his remarks and their pointedness.
lie opened his address by stating that
the essential thing for Democratic suc-
cess was the perfecting OF an organiza-
tion. With an organization perfected and
working In harmony, then success was
assured

Letter Lost q Year

A letter was received at the post
Office department. recently from a
patron in a tiny town in Mississippi
bewailing the fact that there had
been years delay in the delivery
of a letter to him. The postmaster
who seemed to be at fault was called
upon to make report. He looked
into the matter and then wrote the
department as follows:
THAT letter must have dropped
in my waste basket year ago, be-
cause discovered it there few
days ago, which was the first time
the basket had been cleaned out in q
tWelve-month. / will clean out the
basket oftener hereafter
The department will probably is
sue an order that waste baskets be
kept out of mailing rooms, or that
they be 'emptied of their contents
every fortnight. Washington Spec

My Dear Husband-As it is now

that we are enjoying very good

the typhus fever. Betsy IS down
with the measles. Samuel got hook
ed by cow the other day, and little
Peter has just chopped of three of
his fingers with Ratchet. 1t is a
mercy he didn't chop them all off.
with these trif1ing exceptions
we are all well, and getting along
nicely. You needn't be at all anxi-
Gus about us. I almost forgot to
say that Sarah Matilda eloped last
week with a tin pedlar. Poor girl!
She's been waiting for the last ten
years for a chance, and I'm glad
she's married at least. She needn't
have taken the trouble to elope,
though, for I'm sure [ was glad
enough to have her go. She was a
great eater, and find baked beans

inside OF the store, which was run
by an Indian. When informed that
there was a man outside who wanted

dian asked:
''Who is the fellow?"
Judge Thomas, was the reply.
"Well, if that s the fellow, he had
better pay me what he owes me be-

His Mind on Long Absences

[ think [ can tell better story
about William Paterson of Stanford
VT. than the one in the Sunday
Herald of Dec. 10.
Years ago Strafford was my home.
[ lived next to the church where the
following incident happened. One
Sunday in Church Paterson's head
itched, but instead of scratching
his own he reached over and scratch
ed the head of a. man sitting in the
seat in front OF him.
Paterson horse was white. One
Saturday night he went to the vii
lage store at Strafford and tied his
horse under.the shed. When ready
to 90 home he took a bay horse that
was hitcbed nearshis own and start
ed. When the owner of the bay
horse got ready to &C he found it
was gone. Seeing Paterson's there
he sur missed what had happened, SO
he took the white horse and went I'D
pursuit. Sure enough he found
Paterson drivingl eserenely along
about half mile.from home. When
spoken to, the absent minded said:
swell, well. well, I have got your
team. He then got out, took his
own outfit and went on his way.
One spring when tapping his
sugar orchard he put a spike in a
rate post and hung pail under it
