The idea has been proposed sever
al times, but the question arises that

mitted to the cabinet. Of what use
to report; he is merely a representa-

more to spend he probably spends it
in maintaining the dignity Of his nat
ional office. There has been some
agitation toward increasing the vice

officially to represent the president

the laws of the Constitution.
81 think some effort should be
made by the government to explain to
this elective tribunal the exact scope
of it's obligations to the Nation. This
could very easily be done through the
secretary of state. who should be in
under which the electoral college
should perform its duties. 1t is quite
reasonable to suppose that its men,
bers have either lost sight of their le-
gal restrictions or have become in

them.
LAS it is now. the electoral college
date of the Inauguration, and. having
elected the president and vice presi-
dent. they go out of office. For many
reasons I think they should remain in
office until after the 4th of March.
"Supposing between the date of the
official act and the date of Inaugural
ton both the president and vice presi-
dent should become incapacitated by
sickness or death to hold office!
'The need of an electoral body to
adjust such situation for the Nation
is very evident in a case like this.
The electoral college should exist, ex
officio, until after the date of inaugu-
ration, for only a high tribunal such
as this body represents could adjust
q calamity of this sort. Granted that
it is very improbable. but every safe
guard must be taken to protect the
interests Of National sentiment
Mr.. Fairbanks said all this with a
serious intention and with the force
OF a man whose actual knowledge of
conditions was much greater than he
had told. One always gets the impress

been very strenuous, very exacting.

The friends of ex-Vice President
Charles w. Fairbanks have insisted
that his services to the Nation have
never been fully recognized by the
American people. Following the cere-
monies of the Inauguration in Wash
ington the ex-vice presidents friends
are quietly emphasizing, unknown to
him, the political neglect which he
suffered during the last admin1stra-
ton.
On all occasions Mr.. Fairbanks
himself has enthusiastically exalted
the Importance of his high office,
and with equal enthusiasm the Ameri-
can people have ignored it.
When reporter asked Mr..
Fairbanks what his private impress
sions were, the scope and political i'm
portance of his former office really
were, he smiled with undeniable good
humor and said rather crisply: Il am
just out of office, and it would not
come very well from me at this time
to discuss my personal opinions of the
vice presidents official rank in the
government.

IDEA FROM ARITHMETIC
FOUNDER or THE "FARMERS'
AlMANAck" PUBLISHED THE
FIRST NUMBER IN THE LAT.
TER PART OF 1892.

Boston, Mass, April 3.--In the pic
turesque village Of West Boylston,
which was swept away by the great
storage basin of the Metropolitan
Water Board, was the house in which
lived for many years Robert B. Thorn
%. founder of the original Farmers
Almanack
The old homestead where Mr.. Thorn
as lived the greater part of his life
time and many other homes, churches,
stores and shops were destroyed.
Merely Water Now.
Practically all of the town was Of
fered up to the sacrifice and over the
site of the hamlet now spreads sill
very stretch of water. Upon it's placid
page the records of the changing sea-
sons-the sunshine, the winds and
stOrms-the courses of the sun, moon
and stars, which the old almanac maxi
er loved to follow. will be written for
countless years to come.
The Farmers Almanack is the old
est in this country and the name of
Robert Bailey Thomas has become
familiar to New England ears through
his connection with this unpretentious
little annual, and his example still
governs the purpose of the book.
He was born on April 4, 1866. His
grandfather was Cambridge Univer-
sity man and his father was very fond
Of books. Robert grasped every OPP
portunity to improve his mind. 1t is
rather curious to notice that he had
no instruction in mathematics until he
was twenty years old.
Gave Him The Idea.
The study of arithmetic seems to
have had a determining influence on
his career His father had many
books and he read them assiduously;
among them was Ferguson's "Astron-
omy," and from this he says, "he i'm
bibed the idea of calculating an alma
nae" He taught school for few win
tiers, short terms that left the remain
der of the year free for the study of
astronomy. In time he became inter-
esting in bookbinding, then in book
selling and finally. after studying
mathematics for time at school in
Boston kept by Osgood Carleton, he
made calculations for the first num-
Der of the Farmers Almanack."
He published the first number in
the latter part of 1892 for the year
1893. 1t was significant time in
American history, only few years
after the constitution of the United
States had gone into effect, and was
on an era of energetic and intelligent
effort in all directions.
The development of century may
be followed step by step through the
pages OF this little book. and a file
of these old calendars would afford
an abundance Of curious information
and prove most interesting reading
the Farmers Almanack is that from
the first 1t has excluded from it's pages
the picturesque image known as the
Man of Signs or the Moons Man.
The figure of man surrounded by
twelve signs of the zodiac, each re-
fcrring to some part Of his body by
means of a connecting line or a
pointing dagger. is still seen in some
almanacs and was once regarded as
indispensable.

HAOLE KIDS GET
MAIKAl CANOE

The Outrigger Club is going to have
a good canoe to go in the Regatta
with if it has to get together in mighty
force and build one. They tried to
get Doc Wall s old tooth-puller, the
Black Horse. But the foreeps kid
was already promised and so the club
started to hunt for so.nr.nlng else.
Yesterday they found one out near
Diamond. Head ana IL was brought over

In the only race in which Charlie has
appeared here, the regular Marathon
distance at the league grounds, he kept
going in wonderful style for sixteen

Those who watched the race viii re-

tie of ice water, from which he sprin-
kled reviving drops over the plueky

should make grand race.

credit, not only for his victory, but
for the way he has worked up the
tournament and enthused other players
to come in.
George Waterhouse played a steady
game, but was not really dangerous ex-
cept in the first set when he made ali
his friends feel proud of him by the
way he rallied after Gee had three
sets to love.
Then Mr.. Waterhouse made one
grand buckup. He made that blithe-
some man from Manila hop all over
the courts and slogged his returns just
where the assistant paymaster could
not find them.
Unfortunately Mr.. Gee tumbled to
the curves of his opponent and did not
allow him another game in the set.
But the Waterhouse racquet was there
at every stage of the game and he
played as plucky and keen loser IS
game asywas ever seen on the courts.
The feature of the afternoon was
the plucky game that Miss Birney, the
English player, put up against Miss
Hall. There was not a minute during
the match when one could say that
she was eutelassed. Neat, clean and
effective in all her returns, with a
fine service and indomitable pluck, she
was defeated after very game strug-
gle by pure experience of her oppo-
nent, A remark was made by one of
the spectators that, if Miss Birney had
made fad of tennis, she would hslve
been champion.
Miss Hall s playing was as admirable
as one would expect from her record
Swift in service, cool and always sure
in returns she gave an exhibition of the
game that was treat to everybody
who watched the match.
There was a large turnout to watch
the games. Society was there in full
force and the afternoon IS playing was

tennis played was of a better class
than perhaps has ever been seen here
