One important result growing out Of
the exposure of fraud in the recent
primary in Baltimore city, says the Sun,
is a vide. spread demand for change in
the method of appointing election Off
Gals. Various methods are suggested B,
those who desire elections removed from
the sphere Of partisan politics, but all
agree that the appointment of judges and
clerks must be taken away frou, the
party bosses.
The election officials are now appoint
ed by the Supervisors of Elections, it i
true. but they are selected upon the rec
ommendation of the party organizations.
By this method many of the officials
recognize the allegiance they owe to the
organizations higher than their civic
duty. For that reason the wish of the
party bosses. however yelled it may be
expressed, has more weight than theiI
oath Of office or the claims of fair and
honest dealing.

CHILDREN HONOR The
MEMORY OF AUTHOR
WrpathS for Grave of Writer
Of Xmas Classic.

New York, Dec 27.-No other Christ
mas celebration in New York was
quite like that which the children of
Washington Heights held in Trinity
Cemetery, Riverside Drive. At least a
thousand of them assembled to lay a
wreath and sing carols over the grave
of Clement Clarke Moore.
Even if you do not recognize the
name the oldest of you will know what
the man himself did for children the
world over. He wrote "'Twas the
Night Before Christmas"
He wrote it eighty-nine years ago,
/ but the Rev. Milo H. Gates, rector of
the Church of the Intercession, whose
new edifce is to overlook the grave of
Mr. Moore, got extraordinary proof
of how dearly the poem is cherished
Mr.. Gates was making a little
address to the 700 children of his Sun
day school.
Did you ever hear" he began, "a
poem that starts Twas the Night Be-
fore Christmas?"
The children didn't give him
chance to say another word. With
shout they took up the narrative and
carried it clear through to
But l heard him exclaim, ere he drove
out of sight:
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a
good night.
Mr.. Gates was astonished at the
familiarity the youngsters showed
with classic that might have fallen
victim to the cynicism of the age.
Quite joyfully he went to the primary
room, where 1875 children, the oldest
less than six, were assembled. He
asked his question again, and had the
same experience. The toddlers knew
the poem by heart.
For some years Mr.. Gates. as part of
his own Christmas celebration, has
laid a wreath on Mr. Moore's grave.
This year-as the Church of the Inter
cession is to have something of a pro-
priety right over the grave, and as
Bishop Benjamin Moore, father of the
author, was once a rector of Trinity
Church, to which parish Intercession
belOngs-Mr. Gates thought more for
NAL honor might be paid to Mr.
Moore's memory.

AN AVIATOR CHASES
and CATCHES BIRD
Pursued Giant Bird Until 1t
Is Exhausted

London, December 27.-Heron hunt
ing is the latest and very exciting sport
for airmen, as Mr.. Moorhouse of
Huntingdon has demonstrated in a
striking fashion.
While returning from Cambridge,
just as he had reached the portholme
aerodrome, Mr. Moorhouse caught
sight of huge heron. Instantly he
conceived the idea of chasing the
bird.
This he did for a quarter of an
hour, giving a splendid exhibition of
skillful airmanship as again and
again he turned his aeroplane after
the frightened fowl.
1T was, indeed, an amazing sight, .
says a spectator, watching the aero
plane rising and falling and swiftly
trNing about with the fight of the
bird.
We watched with breathless inter
est this curious contest. The airman
gave the bird no quarter. He never
allowed it to get away from him
Wherever it went he followed.
Five times he made the circuit of
the ground, covering twenty miles.
The chase was a series of quick right
hand and left-hand turns, sudden drops
in the air and rapid darts upward.
AT length there was no doubt as to
the winner of this strange contest. The
airman simply wore down the bird,
which tagged and tagged, moving it's
wings slowly and heavily until at last
it dropped to the ground, utterly eX-
Spectators describe the heron as the
largest they had ever seen, measuring
about feet across from tip to tip Of
the wings
