THE PRESIDENTS CHOICE.

Tn the contest for the seat in the senate 10 fu a vacancy from Alabama the president has manifested a deep interest in the outcome by his letter to Representative Henry D. Clayton in which he urges his withdrawal from the fight It is ostensibly because of the service which it is pointed out the congressman can render to the ad-
 ninistration as chairman of the ju- diciary committee, but 1t is indirectly an indication Of the presidents willingness to take 4 hand in over coming the uncertainties of thres sided contest. Mir C6arton ton was appointed by the governor to nfl the vacancy but fn accordance with the constitutional amendment calling for an election Of senator by tine Beo- pie he refused to qualify. His re- ifreme7t from the contest means en- coulaEfng the favor of the administra- ion. while fl also materially aids the position Of 1fr. Underwood against the third aspiranf. Richard ?. H0bson.
 Hr. Underwood has been tower of strength t0 fine new administration. He Is entitled 10 whatever influence the president is willing to. exert in ths situation. and lt is but a natural conclusion that he is the choice of the chief executive for the vacant Ala hama seat in the upper house, In the interests sf future considerations and harmony Nfr Clayton has but one thing t8 d0 and that is to retire from the race. as the president desires, but which he carefully refrained from di~ Tectiy requesting. Upon the decision Fesfs the presidents power as the leader.

THE TOWN MEETING.

Of equal importance as the choice Of officers for the conduct of town af- fairs is the business before the an nusl town meeting for the setting forth of the desires of the townspeople and the policy of The town for the ensuing year. II is the opportunity for the exchange of ideas concerning the de- mands Of the people. a time for the discussion of it's ills and needs, the taking of the public pulse and a gath erinE at which deliberation and good judgment should prevail
 At the adjourned meeting tonight there are many matters of importance scheduled for action which, in spite or the fact that a state and county tax must also be met iu the town levy this year deserve a careful and thorough consideration. The matter Of road building. the importance of providing the tuition for the town pu- pIs at the Free Academy and the sound policy of aiding the Otis library 10 render free public service. are all too thoroughly understood by the peo- pie 10 require comment.
 The proposition of an efficient medi- cal supervision system in the schools is one upon which as much enlght- ment should be gained as possible. It is a matter in which no mistakes should be made The merits of both sides of the question should be fully presented and considered, and in this the experiences of other cities. pro and con are bound 10 be of inestimable value
 The town meeting as usual has mat ters of vital importance before it, and while economy is likely 10 prevail, the larger the expression of opinion the more representative win be the action.

 He's the tight wad I was telling you about, He sure is one pill of a husband. It's a good thing he ain't got no children. They'd all be dill pickles Life is one big drink O vim egar to that fellow
 "Danny's sisters nice enough. She's too good for such as him. He must throwed blanket over her head to get her to walk up tn aisle with him.
 He hadn't set in our house ten minutes till he commenced tellin' what a good husband he was. If he was Indian, his right named be, Mister Not Afraid-to- Speak-WeIl- O Himself. He paid tn rent an he bought groceries an paid tn gas bill an never got drunk
 Tt ain't no wonder girls don't want to get married to such nuts as that. That fellow wants a woman to follow him around like a dog. 4 marriage license ain't tn kind O license he needs.
 If I was Danny Lynch an had a brother in-Iaw like that hickory nut faced chumD. I'd walk in on him some day an say If you don't let Minnie see dollar once in a while, I'll make you look like a coin somebody's bit
 "A fellow don't have to beat his wife to make her miserable. All he has to do is to pay tn rent an throw it up to her. An len he can pay gas bills an let her know she didn't pay 'em. An 'en when she asks him for s2 to buy shoes he shorts out by think Pm made O money?
 Them kind O fellows don't like woman suffrage. It drags women down to vote, they say. That's tn only thing that don't cost money they ain't willing to give em. Mebbe they're 'frafd married womenu pass laws maxim male an female money, So when a man got his wages he'd have to give his wife some of 1t. l bet they'd be more female dollars in tn bank if women got their hands on 'en.

MACHINES AND BALLOTS.

The usual post election cries are being heard about the state, especially where the votes for the leading can dfdates were close. There are the customary allegations that candidates were beaten in the counting room by the throwing out of sufficient ballots to have placed them in the lead, and the indications point to several in teresting contests. All are the result of the system of voting by the paper ballots, which cause so much con-
 fusion to the voter that he is unable
 to express himself in 8 manner ca-
 pable of interpretation by the counters
 Each and every towns using the pres
 ent official state ballot, knows the
 large number oPelectors whose ballots
 are thrown away at each election be-
 cause of the confusion arising over the
 intention of the voter, because of the
 opportunity which he has intentional
 ly or unintentionally of causing his
 ballot to become a marked ballot"
 Such has caused no end of trouble in
 the past and conditions do not inn
 prove.
 It is but to be expected therefore that each year witnesses more towns and cities bringing up the matter of voting machines. They give the as- sura7ce of the vote being counted as intended. There is the mechanical ac- curacv in the 1ecordng u-- the vote and restraint which prevents a voter from trying to vote for more officials that he is entitled to. It prevents the conditions which give rise to the de- mands for recount and makes the re- suits quickly available without hours of tedious counting. That Norwich has machines for town elections and not for city elections is an inconsistency which should be overcome

Then she was amazed to see the young woman with the flat hair at the handkerchief counter bestow a naughty and uncompromising stare on the ajeStic Higgs, and then in dulge in a yawn behind her hand. The effect was that though her eyes might
 be directed in HiggS' direction, to all intents and purposes he was not there, did not exist. was as nothing. Strang- CT still, the majestic Higgs, instead of discharging her on the spot, said nothing. Perhaps he even walked a trif1e faster to get out of range of her eyes.
 "Him!" said the young woman at the handkerchief counter in supreme contempt. What do I care for him?"
 My goodness!" exclaimed the girl at the notion counter "Wh- what does it mean?"
 I've got his number." said the girl, with the extremely fiat hair. He dassent say anything to me. I've got a cinch from now on if any one has, 10 JIlNh ltldl OlQ I1lSSS COuIu Dc SUCH a sly one!
 Minnie, I'm going to tell you all about it if you'IT promise to keep it to yourself" went on the girl with the extremely flat hair. You see, when went to the lake on my vacation heard the other girls there talking themselves silly about a wonderful Dr. St. John AIcMurray. Why they talked of him for three hours. Until he appeared at supper I didn't hear a thing but talk about Dr. St, John Me Murray.
 They said he was the most distin- guished appearing man and so hand some and came of an elegant family that had bodies of money. They said he was a specialist on ears and had come to such a quiet lake because he needed a rest after his arduous duties, both professional and social, and that he was the only man there, and the girls were crazy about him, and he had such wonderful manners. And then Higgs walked in.'
 "Wh- -what?" weakly cried the girl at the notion counter.
 "I know just how you feel said the girl at the handkerchief counter. "Only Higgs being visible at the moment. the shock was worse to me. Minnie, I wish you could have seen

CHANGE FOR IMPROVEMENT.

Each ocean tragedy brings to atten- ton the need of every appliance for safety and rescue at sea. AS long as the storm continued the saving Of lives from the ili-fated VoIturno was impossible because of the high seas which made it impossible to launch it's own lfeboats or for the other lin CTS to send boats to their aid. There was extreme danger in trying to get the rescue ships near the one in dis tress and none was able to get a res cue line aboard the burning steamer.
 IL was an occasion when the best to be had in the way of guns for the shooting of life lines was in demand. Such appliances as the hand gun which will carry two hundred feet or the six-p pound gun which will shoot a line across a vessel one thousand feet distant would have been of inestima bla service All interested were ia vored by the improvement in the wea- ther conditions. but it only shows the inestimable value of being prepared for all contingencies, even of the worst. at all times.
 The dangers of the sea never occur according to schedule. They must be anticipated and such has been done to a large degree through the strict requirements for the equipment of vessels Whenever it is found that there is good reason for improving or extending the equipment such action is called for and just such disasters are sufficient lessons for the overcom- ing of whatever deficiency may be found. It is through such application of the remedy that the highest degree of safety can be secured and main tainad

THE CASE OF HIGGS

{, him, With that little goatee and his walk like a ramrod and his teeth-say l he fitted the part like a glove! I just 1 laid down my knife and fork and opened nay mouth. and then l had an inspiration and closed it.
 So glad to meet you, Dr. McMur- ray I said when he was introduced It certainly is fortunate, because ever since 1 got here I've had such a queer feeling In my left earl Not precisely
 an ache-but tingly-and iump-oh, I'm suffering ever so much. Could l get you to look at it?
 T thought Higgs was going to faint on the spot. He puffed all out and then he saw them all sort of hanging
 admirably on his every move. So he come into the reception room he
 would see what he could do.
 When we got in there he just sort of wilted Maybe you think I didn't remember all the times he's called me down for nothing more than not sec ing a customer when I had something important to tell you! We'll, I just folded my arms
 You, MT. Higgs! I said. just like that l won't be so mean as to spoil the time of your life-but let me tell you that, being the only man at the wouldn't be caught walking across the street with youi From now on, you will please remember that you are desperately in love with me, to the exclusion of all the other girls here, and that you can't bear to have me out of your sight, 1 love to row and go swimming and eat ice cream and play tennis and go for walks!
 Besides,' I told him. want to know how 1t would seem to have a wealthy and distinguished scion of noble house-yes. I read that on a novel-trailing my footsteps. And then. too. my left ear is going to need attention for some time, I'm afraid"
 Say Minnie, it was a crime-yes, it was. There was Higgs with a whole crowd of devoted girls and he had to tag after me! l was always recom- mending him to the others and asking em if they didn't have the earache or something and soaring him to death Honest he got thin! He'd taken his room for two weeks and he had to stay!
 Pooh! I ain't afraid of Higgs any more! He sees me talking now to you and he don't dast-what'I you give me to make face at him?"
 Gee. Why didn't I go to the same lake you did?" mourned the young woman at the notion counter?' I never did have any luck!"-Chicago News.
