Compulsory voting a to be dis
cussed about so much, n the subject
has just been revived by the advocacy
OF the idea by a Connecticut college
president. He would have men COM
PEELED to go to the polls and vote,
thinking that by such means many OF
the abuses which surround the suffrage
would be eliminated and that govern
ment would be improved. What a man
does after he reaches the ballot box is
quite as important al whether he goes
there-more important, indeed, in some
aspects. II a man goes to the ballot
box and votes for bad and incompetent
candidates he had better stay away,
for he becomes a positive detriment to
good government. A fair presumption
would be that a citizen who lacked suf-
1cient interest to vote Of his own wolf
ton would not be very particular about
the character OF his vote If he were
forced to vote. Law might make him
go to the polling place. and even to
place a ballot in h box. No law
could possibly insure that he would
vote wisely or ven deCently.

A universal robe of white had long
covered our country side, hiding yer
veStigc OF our rocky soil. and every
trace Of the great summer fishery. The
mail steamer had paid its last visit for
six months, and thus the last llnk with
civilization was broken. Gwen the lott
cring sea ducks and lesser auks had
left us. The iron grip OF winter lay
on sea and shore.
At it's best, the land here scarcely
suggests the word country" to a
Routherner-scarcely even the word
''moors.' For the rock Is everywhere
close to the surface, and MOSES and
lichens are it's chief products. The
larger part OF the country We call bar
rens." Few OF the houses deserve even
to be called cottages, for ali are of light
rough wood. Most are Of only n

word "huts' would onvey a more &C

The settlements themselves are small

these lonely ~habitatiOns.
Early in December We had been
dumped from the little mail steamer on
the harbor ice about half a mile from
shore, and hauled up to the little Mis-
sIon hospital, where we were to make
or headquarters for the winter. The
name of our haTbOr was st. Anthony.
Christmas was close upon us. The
| prospect of enjoying the conventional
pleasures Of the season were n bright.
Not unnaturally u thoughts went
over the sea to the family, gathering at
home, at which our places would be
vacant. We should miss the holly and
tho mistletoe, the Gas beef and plum
pudding, the inevitable crackers, and
the giving and receiving OF presents
which had always seemed essential to
a full enjoyment OF the Christmas hoii-
day.

Mr.. Wells didn't intend to catch a

When Rev. William r. Huntington,
rector OF Grace church, New York, haV-
ing reached his SEVENTEEN birthday,
submitted his resignation to the Vestry
he followed the immemorial tradition
that puts a special emphasis on the at
tainmenC OF mans three score years
and ia tradition that President
Dwight. of Yale university, gave heed
to by withdrawing from the active work
Of that institution, and to which other
men have likewise yielded, even when
they felt hat their mental faculties
were unimpaired. But resigning at 20
may be overdone. There Is no uni
versaI rule in the matter. While some
men are old at 90, others are well fitted
as eyer at 10 for tasks in which ripe
experience and mature judgment are
requisite. DR.. Huntington's church

and not only declined to accept his
resignation, but gave him a check for

Many stories have been told OF the

Here il one for which Governor Claude
Swanson, of Virginia, is responsible.
In a small Virginia town a ponpous
negro was delivering q Fourth OF July
address to an audience of colored folks.
He said:
my colored FELLOW. citizens: We have
occasion 10 be proud of the Fourth Or
July. 1t was on the Fourth of July,
1895, that Christopher Columbus landed
on Plymouth Rock and proclaimed
freedom, liberty and independence to

Ing down here In Virginny at that
time? They had their feet ON the black

THE CHRISTMAS BARREL

In a family where there are no children
and none TO be borrowed from near rels-
tiveE, they devised this method OF distrib-
utinB these gifts. The day before Christ
mas q barrel covered with crepe paper was
placed IN the reception hall. 1t was tied
around with red ribbon and greens, and
each member of the family placed his par
GELS within. At breakfast It was rolled
in the dining room and he contents dis
closed by the one whose lot 1t was to per-
form the pleasant task This honor was
determined by two candy canes, one long,
one short, the man who drew the long ono
officiating as santa Claus" This is not
much trouble, and infinitely better than
just the ordinary giving things.

The dean Of a normal college, In
q talk before the student body, was de-
ploring the practice common among
children OF getting help In their les
sons and the tendency among parents
to give II too generously. As an Illus
tration, he told the following incident:
The mother of a small pupil in a
Chicago school had struggled through
the problems assigned for the chlld's
next lesson n had finally obtained
what appeared to be satisfactory re-
suits. The next day, when the little
girl returned from school, the mother
inquired, with some curiosity:
Were your problems correct, dear?"
mo, mamma" replied the child.
They were all wrong"
IAN wronB?" repeated the amazed
parent. "Oh, I am so sorry?"
well, mamma, you don't need to be
sorry" was the reply. "All the other
mamnas had theirs wrong, too"
