A law has just been passed making
voting at all city elections compulsory.
All males under 20 years of age, I'M

election. Failure to comply with the
provisions of the law is to be punished
by published reprimand or an increase

Indifference. 1t may come from mere
carelessness on election day. With so
forceful a reminder of civic duty as a
law with a penalty attached very few

he Graduadna Exercises

The graduating exercises of the class
of 1909 of the county high school
attracted large crowd to the Opera
House last night. Owing to the death
of Miss Riddell, the exercises were
made as simple as possible. :. While
graduating exercises are generally con-
sidered occasions for rejoicing, there
was nothing of that nature last night.
A feeling of sympathy for the bereaved
family held in check the joyful spirits
of the audience.
Prof. Howard called the audience to
order. When quiet was restored Rev.
Percival s. Smithe invoked the bless
ings of God on the exercises and ON the
class. After which Miss Vivian Hickey
delivered well-written valedictory to
the class. The young lady was greatly
embarrassed. but she pluckily stuck to
her work and received hearty round
of applause as she took her seat.
DR.. Stubs, president of the State
University. was next introduced and
delivered an interesting address on the
aims of the public school system: The
address was listened to attentively. AS
we failed to take any notes. we are
unable to give even a brief synopsis of
the address.
+ AT tho conclusion of the address,
District Attorney Taber briefly ad
dressed the graduates and presented
the diplomas. This closed the exercises,
after which the graduates held a re-
ception on the stage and received the
congratulations of their friends.

An Easy Load.

Mr.. Smith was giving a reception,
and the conversation turned upon the
subject Of losing money. Mrs. Brown
had lost some bills which she had car

In that careless way" remarked Mr..
Smith to his wife.

"Why, the money give YOU"

"Ah" returned Mr.. Smith, with an

your money!"

ton Go On in Her Presence.

"I saw an odd case of interference
with other folks business the other
day in the subway" said a young
man. "A very pretty and young girl
got in local train on the upper West
Side. A couple of stations further
on, in came a young man who sat
where he could see the girl.
@She was good to look at, too.
He caught her eye and apparently
held her attention. Maybe it wasn't
just the right thing for her to do, but
after time she moved her head and
obviously tried to smother a smile.
"The young chap wasn't bit back
ward and before the train got much
further along he was sitting in the
cross seat with the girl and chatting.
"There was middle aged woman
in the car VINO apparently had
watched the whole affair just as
had. The car was practically empty
and the others in it were reading
newspapers and hadn't paid attention
to what was going on.
First thing / knew the woman
changed from one of the lengthwise
seats, and took her place in the very
cross seat where the two were sitting
They didn't notice her until she
leaned over and said something to
the girl. / could just imagine from
her looks that she was asking: DO
you know this young man.
"The girl flushed up, looked three
times as pretty and the woman kept
on talking and looking stern.
"The upshot of it was that the
young fellow got out at the next sta
ton, apparently to hide his embar-
rassment, and the girl stayed where
she was.
After she'd broken up the little
party the woman moved out of the
seat and back to where she was be-
fore. 1t made me little sore and
felt like asking her what business it
was of hers. But then again it wasn't
my business either, so | didn't. -

The Origin Of Fear.
BY GEORGE l. KNAPP.

The average man would sooner
face a 200-pound human antagonist
than fifty-pound dog which he
could choke to death In three min.
utes. have seen charging ram
scatter half dozen men, any one of
whom could have mastered the brute
In a moment, and not one of whom
was, in ordinary matters, coward.
There are instances on record of men
who with their bare hands have held
and bafIled an ugly bull, but 1t was
only the pressure of grim necessity
that taught them their powers. Put
man against an animal, and the
man looks around for weapons or
support, whether he needs them or
not. There was time when he did.
For man, to-day the most lordly of
animals, was once well nigh the most
humble of them all. He has come up
out of state In which fear was the
normal condition of existence; fear
of violence, of the dark that gave OPP
portunity for violence; fear of fall
ing, of animals, of being alone. And
into the plastic gray cells of our
brains are stamped these ancient ter
rors; a living record of the upward
climb OF man. The baby shows this
record most clearly. In him the
prints of heredity are not yet over
laid by the tracks of use and custom,
and therefore in him we may most
easily read our past history. He Is
our ancestor as truly as he Is our re-
incarnation. and his every shrinking
gesture and frightened cry are chron-
icles of the Younger World, tales of
the Age of Fear. They tell of the
days when man was not the master
of the earth. nor even highly con-
sidered citizen of the same, but
runaway subject of the meat-eating
monarchs whose sceptre was tooth
and claw; humble plebian in the
presence of the horned and hoofed
aristocrats of woods and fields. They
speak of the nights when our hairy
sires crouched in the forks of trees
and whimpered softly at the dark;
whimpered because the dark held so
many enemies; whimpered softly lest
those enemies should hear.-Lippin-
colts.

Too Many For Him.

An American travelling in Ger
many was much bewildered at the
large number of distinct and appar-
emily independent countries through
which he went.
Just as he became accustomed to
Bavaria, with its blue-and-white ma
tional colors, he would find himself,
without warning, in Wurtemberg,
where they have an entirely different
king, and entirely different military
uniforms, and strikingly different
dialect. Then few hours ride on a
train whisked him into Saxony, and
then it was Saxe-Coburg-Go -Gotha. and
then Weimar. and then Baden.
and then Hesse Darmstadt. At last
; he threw up his hands in despair.
"Where are we now?" he inquired.
"Frankfort-on-the-Main."
"Who is the local duke?" he asked,
wearily.-New York Times.

The Sailor and the Parrot.

1--WE are bluff lot" said Capt
Pritchard did you ever hear about
the sailor and the parrot? Well, an
old lady was returning from abroad
with a parrot of which she was very
fond She intrusted the bird with
many admonitlons, to sailor for the
voyage. Seasickness, or something,
killed the parrot the third day out.
The sailor, knowing how upset the
old lady would be, could not bring
himself to tell her the sad tidingss, but
asked a companion, famous for his
skill in such matters, to break the
bad news to her very, very gently.
The man assented. Approaching the
old lady with a tragical face, the fa-
nous newsbreaker touched his cap,
and said. I'm afraid that ere bird
o. yourn amt goin' to live long,
ma'am.' oh, dear' exclaimed the old
lady in alarm. 'Why?' Cause he's
dead was the reply."-New York

Sharks and Fruit Trees.

The use of fish fertilizers has proved
a success for the large apple orchards
in Tasmania. Other fertilizers are
scarce and fish are unusually numer-
GUS in the waters around the island,
and are caught in immense numbers.
The directions for use have a novel
appearance. One writer recommends
three sharks or ten barracuda" for
each tree. The growers have been
in the habit of using the fish almost as
caught, but the objections to this plan
are evident, and a company is now
formed to work up the fish, extract
the oil and grind the waste for fertil-
izer.-American Cultivator.
