Tn the last named town, the chief of police has been sum- marily deposed by order of Governor Foitz for alleged pernicious partisan activity.
 The close of the campaign shows . marked development of conservative strength with tendency toward a coalition with the Miguelista fsction with the evident purposs of defeating the Zayistas. The polls win open at I o'clock tomorrow morning and close at 6 o'clock in the evening. It is irn- probable that any results of the voting outside the city of Havana will be known before Sunday.

80. ,,.,u..o..vc S- TO very guy mspsuu
Of a reminiscence Of forty years and
more
He looked into the eyes that were so
like those he had loved In the long ago
and partly turned away. For the first
time he realized why Whitehead had
won. Nellie had admired his gentle
ness even while she feared Cyrus
roughness. Perhaps, after all, he. Cyrus,
had been more to blame for his loss
than had his old playfellow.
"You two go on with your spoonlng,"
he said grufiiy, and they could not see
that the shrewd gray eyes were filed
with tears.
Cyrus stumbled blndly along the
half defined path that led to the road.
He was living over again his boyhood
days, and he found therein much to re-
gret.
There was a bowling mob about the
bank. The employees of half a dozen
big mills had taken the day off to res
cue their money from the fancied dan
ger, and they clamored about the doors,
EAS last l1OSC al lllt Dduh
their money they were let out and
others were admitted. The tellers were
paying out as slowly.as possible in the
hope of being able to tide over the day.
On the morrow they might expect help
from the city.
Cyrus Ware stamped his way up the
steps, the crowd giving way before
him. The watchman at the door let
him In at once, and, without explana-
ton, Ware pushed his way into the
presidents office, where Whitehead
puzzled over long columns of figures.
He did not hear Wares entrance, and
not until Cyrus hand fell upon his
shoulder did he look up.
"Josh," he said thickly, 1--WE been a
blamed fool for more years than care
to remember, but that's no sign I've
got to keep on to the end of my days.
I've got about 100000 out there in my
wagon. I want to open an account"
For a moment Whitehead glanced
into the other mans face and saw in
his eyes the mute appeal for reconcile
alton which Cyrus could not frame in
words. Their hands met in n clasp
that wiped away the memory of bitter
years, and together they went out OF
the Office to where guard of men
stood over the boxes. Already the
news that Cyrus Ware was going to
deposit had broken the rush, and the
crowd had materially lessened.
The two men stood on the step su-
perintending the removal of the cur
rency. Cyrus passed Whitehead ci-
gar. I'm glad I've squared up old
accounts in opening a new one" he
said, with a ponderous effort at care
lessness. "You see, our young people
are planning to get married.n

CHARMS FOR LUCK.
The Sort Of Superstitions Some Wall
Street Men Harbor.

Let all the dear readers, feminine
/ gender, take cognizance of what fol-
lows, for surely the fairer sex is, after
/ all, the stronger sex. Women know no
/ such abject obedience to superstitious
fears and signs as do the men. With
view to eliciting something of inter-
est, the writer had chance to put q
certain question to captain of indus
try. Tut, tut" he replied suspicious
", you'd be getting me into trouble,
would your With u promise that no
names would be mentioned, he finally
agreed to tell thing or two
The question was, Aren't men in
Wall street carrying all sorts of queer
things to try to change their luck %
In answer to this the writer heard
some curious stories. One man of
worldwide fame, for example, carries
q cane in the center OF which there IS
q slender steel rod. Circllng the rod
there are rings made of leather and OF
hard rubber, like the washers that
plumbers use. Each seventh ring is
made of leather from the soles of the
shoes worn by the Millionaire during
what he considered his luckiest year.
Elephants and pigs as lucky charms
there are of course In plenty, but the
proper caper is to Wear the animal
pinned inside on the watch fob pocket.
Then there is another great f1nancier
who carries with him n gold Ink well
and would never sign document with
fluid from another receptacle. Once
upon time, when he had, say, only
picayune million or two, he signed
paper In a deal that doubled, then ire
bled, his wealth. The ink used that
day was emptied into long gold tube
or well that he now carries. The ink
was used up, but to the well, so he
thinks, the good luck power has been
translated. Lucky coins pass from fa-
ther to son In several of the multimil
lionaire families, and the man who in
herits them would never be without
them. We have few secret drawers in
desks or doors in houses, as they had
In olden times, but there are many Sc
cret pockets In the suits made by

THAT BRASS ROOSTER.

Not the one on the weather vane, but
the yellow quilted fellow that will soon
have n brazen hackle and saddle feath-
ers, and you do wish him to keep
white as snow.
Can't blame you, for white birds are
the fad-not simply because they look
pretty on Il green lawn, lay eggs and
taste for more but our good cooks
don't like dressed chickens that look
like yellow cushions stuck full of
mourning pins.
Yes. You are anxious to keep your
Rocks. Dottes and Leghorns snowy
stay-white.
You don't want your chicken house
to look like junk shop full of two
legged brass kettles. Well, brassiness
Is simply Il matter of too much fat.
The large breeds especially will put
on fat if you feed them that way, and
that way is generally yellow corn, and
yellow corn is the main cause of brassi-
ness.
a chicken owner growls out: THE
greedy things won't lay. l can't make
them lay, and they eat like hogs"
Yes, there's "hog corn" scattered ev-
erywhere, and his White Rocks are fat
as hogs and yellow as butter.
You'd think his hens would lay corn
mullins. The trouble with many peo-
pie is they feed a fattening ration in
stead of one for eggs. They feed all
carbohydrates and no proteids. It's
corn, corn, corn-fat and brass. Their
hens are great for the cook pot, but nit
for nest.
Are you the fellow that weighs his
chickens every week and shouts the
extra ounce across to your next neigh
bor who gathers lots of eggs? Well,
the difference is just here-you raise
hen fat at - cents pound, and he
produces eggs at 20 to GO cents a dozen.
He uses less feed, his hens are white
and healthy, and he has a good egg
profit.
Your corn bill makes you poor. Your
chickens are laying on fat for apo
plexy, and your lazy hens and roosters
look like Il patch of goldenrod.
Now, if you're not mad, listen longer
Don't feed more than 20 per cent
eorn-whlte corn for white birds, and
not too much of that.
If you have fed creaminess or brass
into the plumage. feed it out, using no
corn for month.
Cook pot panacea cures confirmed
brasSiness.
If your hens are very fat. starve them
down and make them scratch for every
grain in deep litter.
Feed little corn at the time when old
hens mott and blood is in the quilts
of young chickens.
Too much heat may affect the health
of chicks so their feathers will not
come perfect, but we do not believe
sunshine makes brassiness.
When we have to pass parasols round |.
to the Biddies and decorate our long
tailed roosters with sunbonnets to keep
off freckles We will adjourn sine die.
