II Is becoming more and more evil
dent every day that the people of
Roswell viii no longer tolerate the
evils connected with this institution.

minds to vote it out.
Only one thing can defeat tnis de-

Collins had stood during this recital
in the middle of the track, with his
legs wide apart, calmly tanning him
self with his hat; but as Ardmore pro
ceeded the reporters hand dropped to
his side, and grin that had over
spread mis- face slowly yielded to a
blank stare.
Would you mind repeating those
last words?"
II am the governor of North Caro-
lima, Mr. Collins. The manner in
which l attained that high office is not
important. 1t must suffice that am

great state, without relief from valua-

ST. rhomas Of Canterbury.

The festival of st. Thomas OF Can,
terbury. from being perhaps the most
popular of saints days in England,
has now fallen into complete desue-
tude, and its revival is not advocated
by even the most fervent OF Anglo
Catholics. 1t was Henry VIII. who
destroyed the Beckett tradition. The
king was (as always) in need Of
money, and the shrine of st. Thomas
in Canterbury Cathedral seemed a
suitable object for legalized loot. So
in 1888 an order was issued that the
bones of the saint should be burned
and the offerings made at his shrine
the trophies of three centuries and
a half-forfeited to the crown. Beckett
was to be decanonized, his images to
be destroyed ard his name erased
from the service books. The work
was faithfully performed. 1.-THE name
of Geta," writes Dean STANLEY, has
not been more carefully erased by his
rival brother on every monument of
the Roman Empire"

with a full stomach that night.
The suburb is quite small, and when
the tramp dropped off a freight and
ambled up the main street he was quite
hungry There were about ten houses
which gave fair chance OF meals, and
the tramp lost no time. He was not
surprised when the first housewife
slammed the door in his face, nor the
second, for that was natural and the
proper thing to do But when he
reached the ninth house, or rather was

Stage Superstition.

An umbrella opened on the stage Is
supposed to bring bad luck. and many
actors would hesitate about wearing
new shoes on the first night OF a play.
The evil effects of new shoes are saIu,
however. to be averted by wearing
them on the wrong feet; in fact any
player who makes this mistake in the
hurry of dressing regards 1t as good
omen not to be disturbed. Whistling
on the stage during rehearsals is be-
