A Defective Election Law.

Republic,
Isn't there entirely too much Sc.
crecy in the compilation OF election
returns in Missouri? 1t Is almost
ten days since the polls closed and
the votes were counted, yet the PEG
pile are still In doubt and confusion
regarding she late OF most of the
nominees Tor the various State offices
II Is we're not for the uneXampled e.
fort TO gather In the news which The
Republic has made this year, per.
tinaciously continued after every
other newspaper In the State had
abandoned she task, there would be
practically no Information about
the outcome.
The tabular statement Of she vote
on State officers which has appeared
day after day In The Republic has
been regularly and carefully revised
each night In the light OF oil the In.
formation TO be obtained from ita
correspondents, or to re gathered
from the party committees, and II
can quite probably be accepted rs
approximately accurate, But thls
Information is secured under many
needless diflicultips. The election law
makes no provision for the wholly
natural curiosity 81 She people oi
the State and it should be amended
at the coming session of the Legi1
lature so as to permit the newspa
pers t. getsome adequate knowledge
OF what has happened after Oh elec-
tion Is held.
Under the present law the precinct
Judges trHnsmis their returns under
seal to the County Courts in eacl
county and nobody at she county
seat can tell what the precinct figures
are until the court takes up the OF
fetal canvass, The expedition wisi
which that duty ia disposed OF de-

for days when an election is as clos,

The law should be amended so al
to require the precinct judges through

THE VERACIOUS CHRONICLE
OF THE CALF CAT OF PAIA

Mrs. Lowell of Paia. on Maui, has a
eat known in the family and to its
intimate friends as "the calf eat. -
There is no chance that he will ever
become a "Cofer cat for, as most
people know who are fond of the
feline species, eats rarely ever eat the
rats that they catch. except when
forced to do so by starvation Then
the results are not good-so far as the
eat is coneerned-as the animals are
usually poisoned by the rodents.
The calf eat catches rats from true
love Of the chase, as his kind common
~ do, and brings them into the house
to receive the praise of his mistress
which fills his soul with pride
The kitten was given Mrs. Lowell
by neIghbor before he was weaned,
and she attempted to rear him by
feeding him from a spoon.
short time before this, she
brought home from Toxic a pair of
young japanese pugs-a male and fe-
male. The female had never had pup
les and she Immediately decided to
adopt the kitten. She coaxed him
away into quiet corners and "mother-
ed - him rs if he had been her own.
The kitten returned her affection.
Mrs. Lowell obiecting to this unnat-
ural proceeding, took the kitten away
from its foster mother. but the pug
always managed to get it again. Fl
nally. she made a bed under the steps
at the rear of the house. where size
could not be disturbed.
Nature evidently approved the
strange adoption, for in a few DAYS
the nourishment appeared that is pro
vided for the young of mammals.
From that time, the cat began to
grow marvelously, and was the con
slant companion of the pug. His af-
fectionS were given to his foster
mothers species. He showed no fear
~ any dog. but attacked all eats that
came into the ward. driving them down
the road. He grew into splendid

BIC SHOW At
SILVA's TOGGERY

\ glance through the stock of Silva s
Toggery will convince one of the ease
with which lady may select presents
for gentleman and give satisfaction.
The goods shown are of a very high
character and the styles are the latest
in every instance. Great care has been
shown in the selection of patterns for
neckwear which have been made to
order for the Toggery. The shirts are
from the factories of the best known
shiTtmakers on the mainland for the
goods are all bought direct, not from
a iobber There are umbrellas and suit
cases, either of which would make a
desirable gift at this season and there
are boxes containing sets of handker-
chiefs, ties and sock of one shade and
each box different OvercOats that viii
keep one dry and warm at the same
time are almost a necessity here and
the Toggery has a large assortment.
Hart, Schaffner and Marx clothing for
business. dinner and evening wear is
shown in endless variety.
The goods shown have been selected
largely with a view to supplying Christ
mas demands and the prices are such
that good value is found in every in
stance. They are shown early so that
if not satisfactory when taken home,
or sent ont of town. they may be
changed before the Christmas festivi-
ties begin. The Toggery never showed
handsomer goods nor a greater assert
ment of lines.

thing, dropped to the floor and pro
ceeded to eat it, licking up the last
shred of legs that he had broken off.
OF course, he got his title, not for
his habit of lunching off spiders, but
for his awkward way of leaping and
running, which was rude imitation
of the pug's manner of playing. The
eat is still young and vigorous.
Spiders seem to agree with him, and
he bids fair to live to the full span
Of his nine lives.
