POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
Norwich bulletin., 1910-01-13
SIGNING AND voTINe-

That signatures are often wrongly Interpreted there can be no question. The application of signature for the <urther4nce of an Individuals ambi- lions or for the purpose of opening en issue like the liquor issue is no indication of what the action of the signer may be. An enemy may sign es readily as a friend for the purpose of having an opportunity to help Knock his foe out Others opposed to the issue may do 1t as a matter of fair play It was shown by the muni- cipal election in Boston on Tuesday that Of the 5000 or more citizens who signed MT. Eibbard's pa pers only 1.783 voted for him; of the 5000 or more who signed MT Taylor's papers, only s2e voted for him.
 These are facts that 1t is well for those in interest to bear in mind Men Trho sign reform manifestoes do not always want reform: and the men who sign for a prohibition issue are not necessarily prohlbitionists.

The Editor Behind the Gun.

Tom Thomson of the Howard Courant insists that while quail hunting is good sport it is improbable. This is his record this year: Bought a new gun, S22. A hunting coat. $3.S5. Went quail hunting four times, and shot away ap- proximateIy 65 smo1peless shells each day-say 250 shells for the four days, cost $6. 50. Paid shares on livery, $6 Paid for lunches and ammunition other than cartridges, $6. Incidentals. cigars to treat the farmers etc, prob ably $2.50. Total paid out for this years hunting eff he hasn't overlooked anything). $46.s5. He killed the limit or 20 quail each day-S0 birds in all, at a cost of fraction less than 59 cents per bird. Of course he has the gun and the coat left, but counting them out his birds still cost him aI- most 27 cents each. That's pretty high for such small birds. s."-Topeka Jour nal.

SUSTAINING A PERIL.

The maintenance of nuisance is 3 shame as we'll as crime and the neglect and sustaining of a peril may be put without injustice to the guilty in the same class.
 There is no defense for the unshov- eled walk in a civilized community, or for the tolerance of glare ice where sand will make the walking safe.
 The part a clean walk plays in the daily affairs of life for the well-beine and comfort of pedestrians should in- spire the thoughtful to make good re- pute among their neighbors and friends when it can be made so cas- fly
 The clearing of walks is not expen- sive; and the tax upon one to make them safe by scattering sand or ashes is not such as to warrant neglect These walks are just as periIous tc the owner as to any one else; in fact it is a double peril-the danger of be- ing hurt by a fall and also of being sued by the person who may have been severely injured by a fall on the premises
 There is no time when a clean walk means more to the community than in winter; and there is no law for public good which should be more strenu- ously enforced City walks can be well kept and 1t should be seen that the law regulating this matter is obeyed.

Heard Dickens Last Words.

The most interesting person at the recent Dickens bazaar at CaXton hall was Miss Georgina Hogarth. Miss Hogarth is 84. She was a child when she went to live under the roof of her brother-in-law, Charles Dickens, and she remained member of his house hold until the final summons came to the great novelist. She was with him when he was struck down. His last words were "On the ground" She alone heard them.
 It is generally supposed that Miss Hogarth was in Dickens mind when he jotted down in his notebook the fol- lowing outline of a. character for fu- ture use: "'She-sacriffced to children. and sufficiently rewarded. From child herself. always the children (of somebody else) to engross her. And so it comes to pass that she is never mar ried; never herself has d child; is also devoted to the children (of somebody else); and they love her; and she has always youth dependent on her till her death-and dies quite happily. y."-Lady's Pictorial.
