A PAVEMENT is a brick roof over

it usually isn't pavement-t IS
scandal.
Pavements are laid I'm order that
teams may drive over the street with
out getting into the mud up to the
drivers necks They also enable auto
mobiles to travel with greater rapIdIty.
A GOOD automobile with a bad chaut-
feur can travel over a falr pavement at
a rate of 70 miles an hour. People
having children and wishing to retain
them intact should live on a street with
very bad pavement
Pavement is laid by contractors, and
costs the property owners about 81

been cleaned mp recently There are
few things in life more irritating than
to sit on ones front porch and watch
the automobiles fit merrily over your
brand new pavement for which YOU have
lust paid $500 by the simple process OF
walking in order to save carfare.
it takes about q week TO lay block
of pavement. After that it takes about
a week to yank a strip of it up to lay
a water main and another month to
take it up and pile it on the curblng
while the street car line rs beng re-
vamped. and another month to dig a
trench through it to install a new sewer,
almost three months to slice 1T mp here

Mrs Lee nodded.
But before ]. can give it to you,
you must tell me if it is for man
4 man" the unfortunate woman
whispered. 4 want poison that kills
quickly and without any pain
Then you still love him, though
you desire his death. I VIII give you
what you want for four more gold
Mrs. Lee placed four gold pieces in
the old wOman's withered hand. Alssa
quickly hid the money, opened a secret
closet in the wall and gave her Little
wooden ball 1t was hollow and easy
to open
On the morning of the degradation,
which was to take place at noon, the
unhappy wife went to her husband
cell As their lips met in long kiss
she pressed the ball into his hand and
fell in a dead faint.
A moment later Lee was. alone. he
opened the bah, which contained a
brown powder and a small slip on
which was written in his WifeS hand
writing: Goodbye"
Mrs. Lee went home as if in a
dream Her little girl was playing
with her doll which was lying in
cradle When she saw her mother she
took the doll out Of the cradle and
Mrs Lee gave a wild cry-under the
cover lay the big diamond The piece
was lying on the cradle. The child
who. after playing in her father s
office, had caught sight of the yellow
silk and taken it to wrap up her doll
She had played with the glitterlng
stone for a while and then hid it in
the dolls cradle.
For a. moment Mrs. Lee stood thun-
derstruck then she rushed like mad
to the palace of the resident Breath
less she reached the yard. My hus-
band is innocent" she cried. Here
is the diamond"
Soldiers and officials rushed up
from all sides As quickly as possible
she told what had happened and ran
to Aissa's house.
Perhaps il was not too late yet. The
doctors who had examined Lee de-
clared that his heart was still beat
ing family. If she could only get an
antidote she might yet save his life.
Aissa recognized her immediately.
so there you are already Just as
Thought I can see on your face that
the poison has acted and that You
come for an antidote If it costs its
weight in gold"
Yes, give it to me He is innocent
Mrs. Lee cried handing Aissa her
purse. the contents of which the old
woman examined carefully.
'Ha, ha! I knew you would come,
Aissa grinned. "Of course he is innO-
cent and you have been too hasty.
That is the way you fools always act
Go home. the man you have given the
poison is only asleep. When he has
slept for u hours he viii be as well as
ever. DO you think I would really
sell poison to jealous women. No, old
Aissa knows too much for that You
are not the first one to offer me ten
times as much for the antidOte as for

elected without having received a plu-

lar vote is cast for presidential electors
IN the various states and the Y1ctor1-
Gus candidate may win the election by
carrying. by very small plurality, the
states having the biggest electoral
vOte-such as New York and Pennsyl-
vania-and then losing by a large plu-
rality. the states having a smaller num-
Der Of electoral votes The losing can
didate might thus get larger popular
vote than the victor, yet have the ma
jority of the electoral vote against him
Each state is permitted one electOr
for each congressman and each senator,
and a plurality OF the popular votes
rality may be very small, decides
whether the electors shall all be Demo
cratic or Republican. The electors
meet in December at their respective
state capitals and cast their ballots Gt
