One of the many incidents which
occurred during election day, and
which nearly resulted disasterous.
ly for the participant, was at one
of the precincts over in tie east

voters had a bottle of formalde-
hyde in his pocket, and another
voter be coming dry and spying the
bottle proceeded to secure the
same and took a hearty drink be-
fore he realized what he was up
against. Prompt work on the
part of other men at the polls
saved save the life of the form
aldehyde victim. From this time
on the man will probably keep
away from a suspicious looking
bottle on election day.

until the time arrived, when I might take it
to her. Altho it was very small doll, I
wanted to take it to her because it was nv
first Christmas present. The distance be-
tween her home and mine was almost mile
and mama doubted whether or not she should
let me 60 alone, but insisted The day ar
rived. I was securely wrapped and bundled
