The gentleman-in-waiting presented
himself to the king, who had stood

"Yes, your majesty"

the admiral and his subordinates sa-

cruelty to make a fat old man like
Kephard, trussed up like a turkey
cock in tight uniform, kneel down on

"Tou need not kneel, admiral, nor

Queen and Her Lovee.

Essex street, London, derives its
name from the ill-fated earl of Es-
sex, the favorite of Queen Elizabeth.
The earl's town house stood in Essex
street and the queen often visited him
there. The story goes that it was
in the garden Of Essex house that
the queen gave her favorite a box on
his ear, saying: "Go and be hanged"
and the hot-tempered young man
swore that he would not have brooked
such an insult from her father. A
curious discovery relating to Essex
and Queen Elizabeth was made by
Lord Cholmondely in ITO at a house
In Essex street which overlooked the
earrs gardens. Scratched on a pane
of glass In top window were the lei

she knew also what was to be pro-

The Nativity
2. The pictures Of the Nativity have great
er variety of incidents and of modes of presen.
tation. The simplest are those which show
Mary and Joseph in the stable with the child;
then come those in which the angels appear,
or the shepherds came to pay their alteration:
another conception represents the mother
alone with her babe adoring him or nursing
him. Pictures of the presentation in the tenn
pie, and perhaps some of the Madonna and
Child belong to the general theme of the Ma
tivity because their central idea is the advent
of Christ as little babe.
Here the painters have found wide
field for imagination, and have used large
liberty in expressing the feelings with which
different persons drew near to the holy child.
Mary is almost always shown as wondrously
happy; sometimes, as in Murillo's Alteration
of the Shepherds" lifting the cloth that COW
ers the child and displaying him with gentle
pride
8. With the Alteration Of the Magi, a new ele-
ment comes into the scene. These wise men
from the east, whether they were kings or
not, were the representatives of the outside
world. ...
There are pictures which show the Magi on
their journey led by a star, sometimes
shining in the form of a babe in the sky; and
others which show them at the court of
Herod asking their way; and others which
show them being warned by an angel in
dream not to 60 back to Jerusalem; and 9TH
ers which show them returning by sea to their
own country. But the great majority of paint
ers have chosen the moment at which the
gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh were
presented to the child. Here there is room for
splendid color and dramatic contrast.

companionpiece to the Alteration of the Magi

total vote Of Chouteau county was
about 1850. The official returns
showed a plurality Of 90s for Charles
n. Pray, republican candidate for
congress, which was a splendid trib.
ute to his popularity among the resi-.
dents of his home county. On other
portions OF the ticket the republican
vote was not so overwhelming.
The official returns of former cleo.
tions show that many Chouteau county
voters are disposed to disregard party
lines in marking their ballots for
county officers. They do not con.
slider it a betrayal Of their political
belief to vote for candidate of the
opposition party who aspire to offices
that are non-political, and i, frequent.
ly happens that, with a normal re-
publican majority of about 500 in
Chouteau county, a candidate of the
minority party is successful at the
polls. This feature of the situation
imparts interest TO each battle of the
ballots in this part of Montana.

IMPORTANCE OF ONE VOTE.

The man who neglected. 70 register,
or who fails to vote uu election day,
shows a cry Door appreciation of the
duties of America citizenship. l; is
within the possibilities tha. his vote
may determine matters Of national
import, aud his attendance at the polls
is an obligation that should not be
overlooked.
The story of the Importance of one
vote has often been told, but it will
bear repetition. Incidents in which
one vote vas the determining factor
may recur at any time.
10 the spring of 1911, at the annual
election in Rhode Island there was a
town precinct closely contested by the
federal and republican peace and
war parties. A federal farmer hur.
rying down to o just before closing
time was stopped by finding one Of
his valuable pigs caught between the
planks Of a fence. With considerable
difficulty he pried away one OF the
planks, released the pig, and started
on the run for the voting place.
just as he got within a hundred feet
Of it the town clock struck six and the
polls closed without his vote. The re.
suit was that a war representative was
elected from that town by just one
vote.
When the general assembly met a
few weeks afterward awar senator was
chosen by one majority on Joint ballot.
In 1872 thesdeclaration Of war az ainst
England was carried in the United
States senate by one vote. General
Jackson was nominated as a major
general and confirmed by one vote

army at the battle of New Orleans,

hero, vas elected and reelected presi.
dent OF the United States, removed
all the deposits from national banks,
vetoed bills and played havoc
generally, and all because that pig in
Rhode Island got fast in the fence.
In 1865 had one vote been trans
ferred from Is negatives to the 30 at.
tlrmatives the Impeachment of Andrew
johnson would have passed and. the
president removed from Office. But
the Importance of one vote was never
signally demonstrated than in
1901. If just n of the - presidential
electors had cast for some one else
the vote he gave to Jefferson there
would have been no tie, the election
would not have been transferred to the
house OF representatives, and Aaron
Burr and not Thomas Jefferson would
v been president OF the United
States.

Beef Trust Fears Prosecution.

NEW York, Oct. 2s.-Going the
rounds in financial circles here is q
report that the big packing interests,
which make up the so.called beef trust.
are planning to form a holding com.
pany under q foreign charter. The
supposed object of this move is to
avoid prosecution, under both federal
and state antitrust laws, for cor.
spiracy in restraint Of trade.
The conviction of the manager of
the Western Meat company, Cal.
ifornia, under that states antitrust
statute, is though. to be the cause of
the packers u~neasiness. Nearly all
other states have antitrust laws
similar to that of California, so that
there may be a widespread movement
against the tcust and its various sub.
! salaries.

CHOUTEAU COUNTY'S VOTE.

There are various estimates as to
the size of Chouteau county's vote at
this years election, some of the esti.
mates placing it at about $500. The
weather conditions on election day
always affect the attendant of voters
at the polls, and these estimates as
sumo that the vote will not be seri-
ously affected by such a contingency.
The largest vote ever polled in
Chouteau county vas In the presiden-
:ial election Of four years ago, when
2,46S ballots were cast. This was an
increase OF about 900 I'VE the total
vote at the election Of 1902.

life when he leaves the white house
on March 4th. 1909. He has abandon

had any intention of making a tour Of
the world after the fashion set by
Grant after the close of his admins
tration. He has not maze up his
mind what he will do the first year aft
err he leaves the white house. He may
go on a bear hunt in Alaska, just after
the inauguration of his successor, and
later go to Hawaii. To some of his
friends he has voiced a desire to make
an extended big game hunt in Central
Africa However. the last is but Wis
