In recalling incidents connected with
Virginia politics some years ago a
prominent Virginian recently related
to a Washington man an account Of
an investigation Of election frauds IN
the lower section of the state. In the
course of the proceedings it deyeloped
that the ballots In an important nre-
cinct had not been sealed after the
final count, thereby being exposed to
fraudulent practices. The chairman
OF the investigating committee closely
questioned the election Judge as TO
why the prescribed duty of carefully
securing the ballots had been neglected

MON0N MACHINIsTs ASK RAISE


Lafayette, Ind, Jan. 12-The 200
machinsists in the Monon railroad
shops in this city have made demand
for an increase in their wage scale
asking 50 cents an hour instead Of the
present divided scale of 301s cents for
regular machinists and S21s cents for
pit foremen. A committee was an
pointed to call upon w. J. Bennett. as
sistant superintendent of motive power.
who said he would send the petition to
President ". H. McDoel. at Chicago.
Inc Monon machinists say that other
railroads are paying the 35-cent scale.
Ihere is no Ill feeling between the
shopmen and the railroad officials. and
1t Is expected that the wage question
will be adjusted. 1t is said that fol-
lowing the action of machinists the
boilermakers will ask for an increase
In wages.

Professor Swallowed It AN.

The scholarly William E. Byerly, pro
fessor Of mathematics at Harvard, was
once asked by a student how to de-
velop a retentive memory. The pro-
fessor answered that ordinary mental
exercise was sufficient to secure a
good memory, whereat the student
asked if he might test the mental ca
pacity of his instructor. Professor By
erly agreed, and the student asked
him to listen to and remember sew
eral varied items for a test. He be-
gan:
