LIGHT VOTE
BEING CAST

The Indications at the time of going
to press were that the yct~ on the
street railway franchise Nns be ex-
ceedingly light. This, however, can
not be attributed to any lack Of desire
TO see the proposition carry but more
to feeling on the part Of so many
that no one will vote against the prop
osition and therefore their votes are
not necessarily needed That this, Is
the general feeling in the matter more
than one business man Of the city has
been heard to remark today that they
would like to vote, that they fsyog the
franchise. but they would nos go to
the polls because 1t was SO hot
A singular excuse when a PROPOSE
tion Of such great magnitude is being
voted IN.

The Sixteenth Century Carver.

At the formal banquet OF the six
teenth century the man who carved
the meat was bound with the red tape
Of precedent When carving for dis
tinguished guests he had 10 remem-
Der that certain parts of the birds or
meat must be set aside. In carving
for his lord and lady he was expected
to exercise great discretion In the
size Of the pieces he sent round, ''for
ladies win be soon angry and their
thoughts soon changed. and some lords
are soon pleased and some not, as they
be Of complexion" He was expected
to have the rules both of the kitchen
and the peerage AT his knife's end.
A pike, for instance, must be dished
up whole for a lord and IN slices for
commOner folk. The rank OF his din
ers, too, determined whether a pig
was to be served up whole, sliced,
plain or with gold leaf or whether
new bread or bread three days old
should be eaten.
