resentative Williams of Denver Is
PASSED. Williams contends that the
present system of counting the ballots

his system the counting will be great
ly facilitated and the returns will
come in within reasonable time after
the count is started. Il have seen aged

four to thirty-six hours at a stretch
and sometimes longer, half dead for
sleep. in order to carry out their du.
ties as required by law. By having
two sets of these officers of election

FREAKS OF THE TIDE.
The caldron Of the Spotted Seas and
the Amazon River Bore.

The Caldron Of the Spotted Seas and
the Amazon River Bore.
To the ordinary lay mind the tides
along our coast are most puzzling. He
knows that the tides rise and fall
twice in twenty-four hours and that
this depends I'm some mysterious way
upon the moon. But II in his travels
be sees a spot along the shore where
there Is no tide he is at loss to ac-
count for It.
To be exact, there is only one ocean
In the world where the tides follow the
moon with regularity, and this is the
great Antarctic basin. And the reason
is that there is the only place a sweep
of water is to be found that is entirely
uninterrupted by land. The enormous
waves caused by the moons attrac-
don course round the world south Of
Cape Horn and the Cape of Good
Hope, with absolutely nothing to break
them. Here in our northern hemisphere
great masses OF land interrupt the
tidal waves and, combined with the
shallowness Of the inland seas. cause
them to perform antics which seem
most strange
The depth of the water has much to
do with the tidal irregularities. Out In
the open ocean, where the tide Is
abnormal-about 5000 fathoms-the
speed Of the waves is amazing. When
the depth decreases to FIVE fathoms
the tide cannot travel more than IF
teen miles an hour. In England, for
example, which is surrounded by mar
row, land broken seas, the result is
that they get some Of the most dan
gerous tidal races and currents to be
found. The most formidable Of these
is the whirlpool between the islands
OF Jura and Scarba, on the west coast
Of Scotland. This is known as the
"Caldron Of the Spotted Seas"
There the current runs at times a
the rate OF more than twelve miles al
hour, and the force Of a heavy ida
current rushing up to the wide mouth
ed river forms what is called bore.
A most striking example Of this tida
feature is often seen on the Amazon
when a moving wall OF water, reach
ing from bank to bank and to a heigh
of more than twenty feet, will rush In
land.-New York Sun.

MR. ADVERTISER, you
IN should make your adver-
tisements representative Of
yourself. They should en-
body your personality, your
reputation and your aims. DO
not say anything in an ad-
vertisement that you would
not say face TO face with a
customer. Your advertise
ments are a part Of your bust
ness. and they should har-
monte with your business
methods. If the goods you
are going to sell are part
cotton don't advertise them
as all wool unless you intend
to misrepresent and are will
ing to look your best GUS
toner in the face and insist
that the goods are all wool.
If you are building your
business on decepuon-wel,
that is your affair. But If
your word is recognized as
good in your neighborhood
then your advertisements
should sustain your reputa-
ton, and you will lose moth
ing by telling possible Gus
toners In cold type that the
bargain you offer is only
half as good as it looks.
One of the most successful
advertisers in the country
once advertised an article
that he was selling at an
absurdly low price as being
"as poor as can be made for
the money" He may not
have sold many of those arti-
Giles, but any that he did sell
did not make him any enc
mics, and the advertisement
frankly stating that the
cheap article was OF little
value made his declarations
Of the high quality Of other
goods sound effective.
