Travellers Tales

There's a very charming old wo.
man who resides in this city. She
is remarkable in her agility for one
80 aged, for she Is close to So, but
she gets about just as though she
was half that old, no young. and she
retains all her facilities to a rennarka-
Die degree. She never needed spec.
tacles and reads her Forum every
day without the use of the adjuncta
which so many younger people. find
necessary.
A few days ago an itinerant spec
tacle peddler came to the house and
when he saw the old lady he naturally
thought he had a sale as good as
cinched. He was wearing a pair of
glasses himself with lenses almost as
thick as tumbler, probably as much
for effect as anything else, and in
spite Of the lady's protestatlons in
sisted upon opening up his wares and
showing her what he had She good
haturedly permitted him Ito do SO.

he gave her a long lecture on his
particular lenses and their superiority
over all others, but she told him
when he had finished that she really
would not invest, as she had man.
aged to get along for So years with
out the use Of the things and thought
she would be able to finish her al
lotted span of life without them.
The fellow began to repack his
stock. When he was about finished
he stopped suddenly and began Look
ing about on the floor. She asked
hnf h hn1
that in showing one of the pairs of
spectacles q small screw had been
dropped. She allowed him to grope
about unsuccessfully for some minutes
then pointed out the sought for OBJ
ject, which was about the size of a
f1ea's left ear. The peddler was con-
WINGED that she really did not need
any of his wares.
Alex Curry, the banker and phil
osopher Of Sharon, this state, was a
business visitor to the city yesterday
and again on Saturday. He came
down here for the purpose of securing
help for the harvest, and he had a
hard time in finding any. Said he:
It's this way almost every year when
there is any chance whatever Of there
being a poor crop, some darn fool will
yell calamity and that minute the hue
and cry will be taken up all over
the state and the result is that when
the harvest comes we have hardly
anyone here to do the work. I've
kept close tab on things and have no
ticed that the out of state papers
seem to take pleasure in yelling ca
lamity as us. I've had an awful time
in getting men, and / don't know what
some Of my neighbc:s are going to
do for help. Men that I had run
against here in the past few days
don't apparently want to work. It
seems as If the whole state gets pam
icky, but this is all passing away and
the farmers and people in general ap-
pear to be feeling good again. Let
me tell you something that / have
found out, and this is that the crops
are looking great considering what
we were first expecting. am simply
astonished' at the yield. Why, / am
told that in some places the grain
went stxty-seven bushels to the acre,
while there were lots that went as
high as sixty-three."

ALL PUT At SEA
BY THE ELECTION
Results of Spring Municipal Con-
testx Rather Confusing to
Politicians.
DEMOCRTS ARE CHEERED

WASHINGTON, April Politicians
here are to-day porting over the results
OF the spring municipal elections
throughout the country. particularly in
the Middle West, and wondering what
1t all means.
All efforts to draw an inference from
these elections that would indicate the
trend OF public opinion toward the fall
congressional elections seem to end
In chaos, although Democrats are
claiming that the fact that in ma
jority OF places where elections were
neld the Democrats won is a forerun-
ner of Republican defeat In the fall.
Especially significant In this regard
they claim Is the result of the munich
pal election at Hartford Conn. where
for the first time In eight years the
Democrats elected their candidate for
mayor. This, coming close on the heels
of the overturning of Republican ma
jority in the Fourteenth Massachusetts
congressional district in electing q sue
cessor to the late Representative Low
ering, has led the Democrats to claim
that rock bound Republican New Eng
land is breaking away from the party
Of protection. They are also elated
over, the Democratic success In secur-
ing control OF the Chicago City Coun-
Gil Missouri. Kansas and Oklahoma
victories are also the source Of satiS-
faction TO the Democrats.
The election OF Socialist mayor and
council In Milwaukee. however, Is
bothering both Democrats and Repub-
licans. Many believe that It forecasts
the return OF two Socialist congress-
men from Milwaukee, In the fall.
