Every time the registrarship bobs up it shows the velvet side of the of ficial position. The remedy is simple, ii applied by the citizens themselves. Cut the salary. If it was not a politi- cal sinecure, you would not find de- feated candidates trying to get into the saddle through court proceedings. The salary of $1,200 a year paid to the registrars of Middletown is political graft, pure and simple. No one can figure 1t out otherwise. - Middletown Penny Press.

The next afternoon Miss Peckham sat on the porch reading. She was en- tipely unconscious of the havoc that had been wrought by her well mean ing friends She looked up in surprise as young Weed came out on the porch, suitcase in hand, his long, pointed nose stabbing the atmosphere before him. Having scented danger, he was making his retreat. He started slightly as he spied Miss Peckham and took a firmer grip upon his suitcase.
 "Why, MT. Weed, are you leaving us?" she inquired, turning her round, surprised eyes on the suitcase.
 "Umph huhl" he grunted. Going on the north side to live. Walking dis tance from downtown, you know"
 Well, you must not forget us, Mir Weed. Come over and see us occasion ally, won't you7"

 Young Weed succeeded in driving Mrs. Holman before him into the breakfast room, where she beamed at him from her table across the room all through the meal
 As young Weed stopped at the mail box in the hall Mrs. Adams sailed down the front stairs, elbows waving. Looking for a love letter, MT. Weed ?" she bantered, gayly.
 Not this morning, Mrs. Adams. No such good luck for me. Haven't got a girl, you know" He smiled at her un- suspiciously.
 Well, now, that's too bad, MT. Weed. A man with your good looks shuld not have any trouble finding a girl. If you want any help just let me know. I know of one not very far away. She is dear and I'm sure you would like her very much if you knew her better. ThereI I've let the cat out of the bag, for you do know her al- ready. Really, MT.
