Have this boon to pray:
Sing a song for me!
Sing of roads that CLEAN,

While I bide at home,

ELECTION STRATEGY.
Incident of an Old Time English Par
Iiamentary Contest,

liamentary Contest.
In the days before the institution OF
the secret ballot when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, a former Lord DundOnald
who refused to give brides, contested
Honiton, but was beaten by an oppo
nent who paid his electors at the rate
of f5 a vote.
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer Of q history Of the Dundonald
family. He announced to his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery.
Then he sent the town crier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him In this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive FLO.
As comparatively few people had
voted for him. this was not very ex-
pensive process. And at the next cleo.
ton Lord Dundonald was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri-
umph several people came to him and
delicately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty.
"Not a farthing," was the reply.
"But, my lord, you gave FLO head
to the minority at the last election, and
the majority have been counting on
something handsome on this occasion
perhaps so,"~said the clever candi.

disinterested conduct in not taking my

MANlIKE MANATEES.
These Queer Creatures Are Linked
With the Mermaid Myth

These Queer Creatures Are Linked
With the Mermaid Myth
In semitropical waters Of America
there disports member of that family
Of aquatic mammals to which has been
ascribed the mermaid myth. Related
to the dugong and the now extinct
rhytina, we still have the manatee.
This name is preferred by some to
manati. under the impression that the
latter is the plural of the Latin mana
tus" FURNISHED with hands,, though
the name is probably of Mandingo orr
gin.
The manatee is a herbivorous nam
NAL inhabiting the shadows about the
coasts of Florida. Mexico, central
America and the West Indies. 1t is
not known to attempt the open sea and
does not possess the ability to come
ashore. This animal is somewhat
whalelike in shape, with a horizontal
tail fin. 1t is from eight to twelve feet
in length. the body being scantily COW
cred with hair. The only limbs are the
fore fllppers, low on the side of the
body. This Upper has no fingers. 1t
does possess, though. three fat nails
and has free motion in all directions
from the shoulder. The elbow and
wrist approximate the human anato-
my In movement With this crude re-
semblance to an arm the manatee has
been said to carry it's young. While
the statement Is not authentic, 1t is
quite believable, its possibility being
vouched for by all observers Of the
arm In motion.
The head of the manatee is divided
from the body by a slight indication
Of neck. The upper lip is extraordi-
narily flexible-sO much so that each
side can protrude independently Of the
other, and, thus separated into two
lobes, the upper lip can perform the
complete operation Of grasping food
and conveying 1t into the mouth. In
each Jaw are twenty pairs Of two
ridged teeth. With this formidable
equipment the manatee is not, how
ever, ferocious, but browses TRANQUILITY
on the water plants Of its habitat. In
some views the head Is surprisingly
manlike, though far from beautiful,
and no specimen has ever sat on the
rocks and combed its golden hair
