votes count up with great rapidity.
NOT TRANSFERABLE.
One of the rules of the campaign is
that votes are not transferable. A
number of candidates who have with
drawn from the race have asked that
their votes be transferred to someone
else. This we cannot and will not do.
If we did, the different candidates
would be buying and selling votes at
the end and the one who had the most
money would win. Under the system
which we work, votes cannot be bought
and every candidate has an equal
chance.
GETTING ENTHUSED.
Enthusiasm is getting more marked
each day. People are just awakening
to the fact that there is an opportn-
nifty that comes but once in lifetime.
Almost everyone has fixed ssome time

But here is opportunity battering at
their very doors. The Bourbon News
makes it possible to own an auto with
in the next few weeks. In this great
contest S910 Studebaker Five Pass
enger Touring Car is offered and the
interesting part about the entire affair
is that it doesn't require a cent of
capital. Any preson of good standing
in the community may enter. The
contest is not hedged about by lot of
restrictions that prevent anyone from
participating. It's purely and simply
matter of proving your own popular
itv and devoting some time and atten-
tion to the contest for few weeks.

COSTLY DROP CURTAIN.
The One Meissonier Didn't Paint For a

The enteFprising manager OF thea
ter called upon the famous French art
ist Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier on
one occasion and asked him to paint a
drop scene for a certain theater and
name his own terms.
":YOu have seen my pictures, them

"Oh, yes" exclaimed the manager,
"but 1t is your name / want! 1t will
draw crowds to my theater."
And how large do you wish this
curtain TO beP inquired the artist
"Ah, well, we VIII say Is by IS me

MeissOnier took up a pencil and pro-
ceeded to make calculation. At last
he looked up and said, with imper-
turbable gravity:
Il have calculated and find that my
pictures are valued at 10000 francs
per meter. Your curtain. therefore,
will cost you just q, 10000 francs
But that is not all. 1t takes me twelve
months to paint twenty-five centime-

T0UCHY SERVANTS.

Japanese Nesans Have TO Be Handled
With Gloves of Velvet.
Japanese servants must be treated
with tact, however trying they may be,
and often they are very trying indeed,
especially the nesans, who are usual
ly untidy, cross and lazy. Yet the
dear little things have admirers who
praise their kittenish ways, their tiny
hands and even, of all things, their
artistic temperaments.
A certain writer solemnly says: -
japanese nesan-any nesan, even one
in hotel-will set out your hairbrush-
es, clothesbrushes, nail scissors, col
lar box and tooth powder on the av-
erage hotel dressing table and make
a design of them-a picture, an artistic
whole" All can say is that no nesan
has ever arranged studies of still life
with the nail scissors and the tooth
powder for me, though, possibly by
way of compensation, one has started
little lakes of boiling water on my
carpet when rang for you, or toppled

AFTER SOLDERING.
1.-THE Gentleman In White" and the
Idea of the Red Cross

1.-THE Gentleman In White" and the
Idea of the Red Cross.
During the Italian war of 1850 young
Jean Dunant was travelling in that
country. After the battle of Solferino
he visited the field, and, seeing the
terrible sufferings of the wounded SOL
diers who lay around unattended, he,
with the assistance of several peasant
women, formed an ambulance service,
with its headquarters in a little church
at Castglione. He helped with his
own bands to bind up the wounds Of
Frenchmen, Italians and Austrians
alike.
'"They are all brothers." he said. "a
wounded enemy is an enemy no long
er" And he and his corps of helpers
brought water and medicine and
smoothed the pallets of straw and
cheered the unfortunates and closed
the eyes Of the dead and performed
the last kind offices for the dying.
Dunant was regarded by the hundreds
of wounded as miracle of goodness
little less than an angel. "The gentle
man in white was the way in which
the officers spoke of him as he moved
around among the sick, his light cloth
ing making him conspicuous on the
field.
His experiences at Solferino, where
he saw that the willing hands of a
few unframed helpers actually saved
many lives and comforted hundreds OF
others, inspired him with the grand
idea of an organization-the Red Gross
Christian Herald.

IN A ROMAN CAB.
A Party of Disguised Americans and
an oVerqrateful Driver.


In Mr.. Howells' Roman Holidays
and Others" is this delightful story
of an adventure IN q Roman cabs
In returning from the Pincio the only,
cab we had been able to get was the
last left Of the very worst cabs In
Rome, and we had hidden the driver
wait for us at the church steps, not
without some hope that he would play
US false. But there he was, true to
his word, with such disciplined fidelity
as that of the Roman sentinels who
used to die at their posts, and we
mounted to ours with the muted
prayer that we at least might reach
home alive. &
This did not seem probable when the
driver whipped up his horse. 1t APP
peared to have aged and sickened
while we were in the church, although
we had thought it looked as bad as
could be before, and 1t lurched alarm
ingly from side to side, recovering it,
self with a plunge of its heavy head
away from the side IN which its body
was sinking.
The driver swayed on his box, hav-
ing fallen equally decreplt. in spite of
the restoratives he seemed to have APP
piled for his years and inflrmities. His
clothes had put on some such effect
of extreme decay as those of Rip Van
Wrinkle in the third act: there was
danger that he would fall on top of
his falling horse and that their raj
ment would mingle in one scandalous
ruin.
Via Sistina had never been so full of
people before; never before had 1t been
80 long to that point where we were
to turn out of 1t into the friendly OBJ
scurity of the little cross street which
would bring us to our hotel. We could
not consent to arrive in that form; we
made the driver stop, and we got out
and began overlapping him TO release
us.
But the more generously we over
aid him the more nobly he insisted
lpon serving US to our door,
At last, by such lavish expenditure
as ought richly to provide for the few
remaining years of himself and his
horse, we prevailed with him to let us
go and reached our hotel glad, al
most proud, to arrive On foot.
