fan. Il can understand your feelings

Come. come,' said the conserva

much in error as your more violent
brother. You must remember that an
umpire is a judge. 1t is not fitting
that judges should be recalled. judges
are more sacred than other officials

Seaport Taking Its Old Place

Alden. lately visited by King George,
was fourishing seaport centuries
before the Christian era, and con-
tinued to thrive under the Roman EN-.
pire and after the rise of Mohamme.
dan power in Asia Minor. The adop-
ton of the Cape of Good Hope route
to India, however, deprived it of its
trade. and Alden sank to the squalid,
Insignificant village. Revival came In
Early Victorian days when the over.
land route to India was reverted TO.
The British government saw the i'm.
portance of Alden as guarding the pas.
sage to its eastern empire, and a mum.
Der of outrages upon Englishmen by
the Arabs led to the dispatch of an
expedition which took the town in
January. 1899. Since then its trade
and population have increased until
today Alden is a settlement over 20
square miles in extent and one of the

ture from that county. The contest
will be instituted by D. w. Bremen,
who, on the face Of the returns was
defeated by IA majority, his competi-
tor being man named Quickstad. In
the contest proceedings Mr.. Bremen
will have evidence to show that in one
of the voting precincts-a country
precinc.-27 sample ballots were used
for official ballots; that the polls
were kept open after s o'clock in the
afternoon. the time fixed for their
closing BY the state primary election
law, and that the required notice was
not giveL at 4:30 o'clock that the polls
would close at 5. 1t appears that the
election judges in the precinct in
volved in the contest proceedings ran
out of official ballots and as there
was net sufficient time to secure a
fresh supply from the county seat,
sample ballots were given to q voters
in lieu OF the official ballots. The
sample ballots are alleged to have
been used on instructions from the
county auditor. Bremen will endeav-
or to have these q votes thrown out.
If he succeeds in this the apparent
majority of IA for Quickstad would be
turned into a majority of 10 for Bre-
mer and he would be entitled to a

Comparing the buildings Of tho

Egyptians We find that Chinese archt-
lecture Is weakest in that quality
which the Egyptian buildings pos
sessed in the highest degree, namely,
stability. The buildings Of the

lul to look upon because they had
the appearance of being built to stand

on the contrary, seem to have been

features. They are true to themselves
and have borrowed no elements from
