JACK AND carrie
The Latter's Idea Brought Bust

By GILBERT O. BuRLlNeAME.

JACK was an advertising SOIiciLol
who had not yet made good, and Car

a home and had decided that together
they could make pretty good lml'

That but covered a Whole lot o.

Jack still had TO make good, which
translated means-prove to the hrn
for which he tramped the streets each
day that he earned more than the
beggarly fifteen per which did not fill
his wants, although in dollar Oils Ii
did his pay envelope.
The time was night, probably about
ten, as it usually took Jack and Car

relative to their friends, and the very
personal questions which always arise
between lovers, and then Carrie

of the questions she forced Jack to

refused to advertise. declaring that

and against Jacks repeated efforts he
had turned deaf ear. The adyertis-

good men on him before consignlne

assed solicitor and lovelorn young
man was keen to land him. Carrie
had thought over the matter many q
long day as she was pounding her

to prove to the crusty and unbelievIne
manufacturer the value Of advertising

his friends will have no apologies 20

and IL will be his ambition to dis
charge the duties that will devolve
upon him in a manner satisfactory -
all with whom he is brought into coli
tact.
As young man Mr.. Blake was book
keeper and cashier OF his fathers
bank at Elk Falls. Kansas. and made
an envlable record in that capacity.
On coming 10 Colorado in 1892 he ss--
tied at Pagosa Springs where he made
an expert audit OF the banks Of the
treasurer OF Archeluta county which
resulted In saving to the tax payers
approximately three thousand dollars.
Afterwards he engaged in the mercan-
tile business at Pagosa Springs and
continued in that line OF employment
for ten years: building up In the
meantime one Of the best businesses
of the kind in that section Of the state.
Mr.. Blake was associated with @. W.
Tobin in the Fair Mercantile company
at the corner OF Eighth and Main
streets for four years after coming
here and was active In the manage
ment of It's affairs until the concern

THE mEADLEss BALLOT.

II now looks as II the headIess bal
lot law had passed and would be n
operation before another election.
With this new law the ballot VIII
look about the same as In the past
but there will be no space at the top
in which to write the party name. The
voter must put an X opposite the
name on each candidate he desires 20
vote for.
II has both advantages and dis
advantages. but many think the ai-
vantages overcome the disadvantages
One excellent provision is that no
voter can have any assistance in
marking his ballot. except he be to-
tally physically unable to do II. This
will cut out a big ignorant vote.
At the recent election. for instance.
In a small precinct in this county
more than SO votes had their ballots
marked by the judges. because they
could not read nor write. The heal
less ballot will put an end to that
sort OF business.

THE VOTES ARE NECESSARY.

The Progressive party which does
not believe in parties and maehines
is organizing clubs in several places
and has announced by resolutions
and otherwise that never more hence
forth will 1t fuse with any other party
nor endorse the candidates who are
on any other party ticket.
We believe the Prohibition party
was organized on this high tone plan
and it is well known principle of
the Socialist party.
The principle sounds fine but pas,
experience has shown that go'd
man who believes IN good principles
elected to congress or the Legislature
is much more helpful in bringing
about reforms than a good man who
goes down 10 defeat because Theory
keeps him from getting the votes nee
essary for election.
