Gormly was usually IN early riser:
but on the morning before election
day he slept until an unprecedentedly
late hour. He was utterly worn out
with the strain of the campaign, any.
way, and the occurrences of this last
night had almost Frustrated him.
There was ordinarily nothing much to
be done on the next day, the Monday
preceding election day. One final
meeting was scheduled for Monday
night, and that was all.
1t was perhaps nine o'clock when
he woke up. He was soon bathed and
dressed. He had signaled, as was his
custom, at the proper time for the
serving OF his simple breakfast. II
was ready for him when he entered
the dining room. Somes was there
In attendance as usual. A pile OF
morning papers lay on the buffet

personal opinion is that Brahms is
not adapted to whistling, being far
too high-broWed. The art Of whist
ling really became lost when such
tunes as Money Musk" and the
Irish Washerwoman" passed out OF
common knowledge In those old
days the accomplished whistler had
trick of webbing his tongue about

and harmonies that really belonged
to high art As matters are now,
the attempts of an office assistant
to render his favorite themes from
Wagner, Dvorak, Tschaikowsky,
Scharwenka and other eminent Teu-
tonic or Slavonic composers some
times threaten scenes of carnage and
bloodshed that would put Caneva to
the blush if the strong hand OF justice

main correct
First of all, as there are no canons
of taste binding on all mankind in the
matter every man must choose his
neckties on lis own responsibility he
will do well, says the philosopher, not
to rely, as many men do, on the way OF
even very pretty girl behind the
necktie counter; nor will he be guided
in his achoice by mother, sister or
fiancee, for as IS shrewdly remarked,
they will be likely to take their OWE
scheme and standard of dress, not his.
Again, man should not buy a
necktie merely because he wants one.
He should always be on the lookout
for what is beautiful in this line, and
having seized the opportunity and
purchased it, should add it TO his col
lection. The material should be first
class, and one should wear a different
tie every day. The final injunction
is that the necktie should harmonic
with the clothes, that it should be
carefully tied so as not 10 look like a
rope around the neck and that 1t
should not be disfigured by pin.

Scores Of farmers had written to
the university that they could use ex'
ira hands during July and August,
and Clarence Davis was one OF the
students who elected to work during
the vacation. He went to farmer
who wanted only one man, but q big,
stout one. Clarence was big and stout
and the farmer figured that if he only
had small appetite he would be as
much Of a bargain as a dollar SHIRT
marked down to So cents.
There was a regular hired man on
the farm. He had been there year.
The farmer, the good wife and the
daughter welcomed the new hand, but
Jim, the hired man, didn't. He took
long look at him, listened to his talk
for a few minutes, and then went out
to the barn and shook his fist at the
bayraow and kicked over half-bushel
measure and hoarsely exclaimed:
"It he does it I will kill him If ]
hang for it," ,ar4
Farmer Bush's daughter was. named
Amelia. She was tEe1ty-tieo S.Iears
