Potts said the men had been employed

'paprika," ham and wine can be smeled at long distance. The peasant women are sitting on the ground. surrounded by their vegetables, milk, cheese, cream and fish, asking people to buy, as they are anxious to sell out so they can join the merry throngs In the afternoon.
 If the fair be in winter, the peasant men appear in a round, stiff hat or fur cap, a heavy coat, tight pants and high boots. Over all this he wears 0 tremendous coat made of the hides of sheep, with the wool on. In the summer most of the men wear q small cap or hat, no coat. white shirt. a blue vest, no pants, but shirt coming to the ankles taking its place, with or witli- out shoes or boots. The women in win ter have their heads bound up in shawls of wool and in summer in shawls of sYS, while their dresses winter or summer ap- pear to be very wide. as sometimes they will put on at least a dozen dresses.

THE PRICE OF
 A LOST ARM

Ernest Poole in the August Everybody s.
 Somebody has got to get hurt and that's all there is to it. But there is one thing that makes the boys mad. - The speaker was a lean, quiet shrewd- looking Scotchman of middle age, pro- prietor of a tiny lunch-room where dIn- ner Is served for a quarter. He leaned over the desk, on his right elbow.
 "Who ought to pay the damages" With his thumb he pointed to the limp sleeve that hung in place of his left arm. "There is a law for damages he went on, "and there's plenty of lawyers around the docks who know just how to handle 1t. These lawyers are employed by the Ship Company, or by some insu- rance firm that backs the Company, l don't know exactly which. All l do know is that for a good many years while was at work as docker, I watched how they did it. And havin' a feeling, Is my good old mither in Scotland would put it, that I was foreordained to get smashed-I began to kind of study this damage law by myself ,and decided just about what I'd do if the time ever came.
 "It did. One afternoon in the bottom of a ship my arm got hit from behind by the end of sbig mahogany log" He paused for moment, then he added slowly. When l came to, down on the dock, I just kept my eyes shut and shouted, I won't sign anything" Being somewhat frivolous minded from the arm, which was pounding inside like twenty pile drivers, l made the same remark to the ambulance man, and again to the hospital nurse when I come out of the ther that night. Then I got almighty sick But when the lawyer arrived tho next day, my legal mind was ready.
 "'IIow much for my arm?' I asked. That started him talking and showing his long lawyer paper. At last he pulled out fifty dollars and said they were mine if I'd sign and have no more trouble at all.'
 "'And if don't sign, and sue you in court for five thousand said I.
 "Your case wouldn't even be called for year., he said looking sorry.
 1T sat half up on my elbow.
 "'And if go to court with every Tam. many chief of the district--'
 .'The lawyer jumped, and his face got queer He took the addresses I gave him, and went to see my friends He came back the next day and grinned kind of sheepish, and offered thousand. signed"

Fishing on Horseback.

From Frys Magazine.
 On the California coast they fish on horseback. After a big blow enormous numbers of squid are sometimes seen washing about among the pounding breakers.
 When such news comes to the town ev cry man or boy who can beg or borrow a horse goes galloping down to the beach armed with a six-foot bamboo. at the end of which is strong steel hook.
 They dash into the surf and, driving the sharp steel into the squirming jelly like creatures, haul them ashore one by one, and leave them lying high and dry upon the beach, pumping ink and water and with their long, sucker-rimmed arms coiling about like snakes. Squid sell for a couple of shillings apiece
 Their flesh is good for bait; the pen, a long, opal-tinted bone which extends from the tip of the tail to the neck. forms the cuttlefsh bone of commerce, and the eyes, which when dried look like large dull pearls, find ready sale among cu- rio dealers.

In this part is the merry go-round, which is quite different from CUTS. Instead of being run by steam or electricity, 1t is kept in motion by young sters, who are up in the top of the go- round, walking around and around on blanks, pushing the poles of the machine, which rotates 1t.

 About ' o'clock in the evening the crowds begin to disperse, and the mer- chants tear down their tents and pack their goods. After midnight the last wagons having left, the village assumes its usual silence until the next fair.

coNsplRE For PROSPERITY.

The United Commercial Travellers
and the Travellers Protective Associa-
tion are organizing what they call the
Commercial Travellers Interstate
Prosperity Congress TO meet in New
York City next August. Their idea
is to make commercial travellers the
real advance agents OF prosperity.
There will be great deal OF speak

lions are favorable to resumption OF
business at full volume and that with

In like spirit is that organization

or offering to vote at primary cleo

this state for six months next proceed
ing said primary election, or VINO, at
the primary election, is not twenty-one
years of'age, or is not citizen of
the United States; of knowing him
self not to be qualified eIector OF
such precinct where he offers to. vote;
or any person violating any: of the pro-
visions of this act, or of any proVi-
sions of the code as may be hereto ap-
piled; and any person knowingly pro-
curing, aiding or abettingg such VIC
lation shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be fined not less than one hun
dred nor more than five hundred dol
lars, or be imprisoned in the county
Jail not less than thirty days nor more
than six months"
Persons who have asked me the
questions stated above have suggest
ed that they know, or think they
know, of persons claiming to be re-
publicans who intend to declare them
selves democrats at the primary cleo
ton for the purpose of advancing the
interests of some particular candidate
on the democratic ticket, and yet do
not intend to vote the ticket at the
general election in November. Others
have suggested as reason for asking
the questions, that they know, or think
they know, of democrats who intend
to declare themselves republicans at
the primary election for the purpose
of advancing the interests of some
particular candidate on the republican
ticket and yet do not intend to vote
the republican ticket at the general
election in November. If there are
any such persons, with such. foolish
inclinationS, 1t would be well for them
to carefullsr consider the probability
as well as the pleasure of few
months free board at the county Jail
before committing themselves to such
foolhardy policy. That part of the
section quoted above squarely covers
such a proceeding.
A great many people seem to thing
they will not incur tho penalty pre-
scribed by the statute unless they are
challenged and swear their vote in,
but that is not correct. The statute
does not provide the penalty in case
of false swearing; it provides it for
a false answer as to any of the pro
visions of the act relative to its quail
ifications and party affiliations.
The act alone of declaring himself
a republican or a democrat, when not
such and asking for a party ticket,
which the elector does not intend to
support at the general election would
The Oskaloosa herald., 1908-05-28

be fraud and violation of the
spirit and letter of the statute, and
subject the person so offending, to
the penalties prescribed in the statute,
The statute provides for two chal-
lengers, at each voting precinct, for
each political party represented on the
ticket, and makes it the duty of all
such challengcrs as well as that OF
all judges and clerks of the election,
to make the challenge when they
have any suspicion of the right of the
voter to vote the ticket called for, or
any ticket at that election. One OF
the very purposes of these challcngcrs
is to furnish the county attorney and
grand jury evidence of any violation
of the statute. 1t would be very fool
ish for any person to delude his mind
with the thought that he migfft'so vio-
taken of it. 1t would be the duty OF
both the county attorney and the
grand jury to investigate any charge
made of that kind and If the evidence
warranted it to present an indictment.
1t is hard to believe that any intelli.
gent person would be so blind to par
tisan feeling, and false to common
honesty and decency as to attempt
such an act, but if there are they
ought to be warned before taking the
false step, and then, if they commit
the offense, the punishment prescribed
by the statute ought to be vigorously
enforced.
