ELECTION DAY ACTIVITY.
Members of Both Parties Worked Hard List of of7ciaIs-susPieious Fellow Held Up.

The lack of interest in campaign rallies and the apparent apathy of the voters over the issues of the cam paigns were only on the surface, fol day to express their choice and nearly reached the total vote cast two years ago, in a presidential year
 The weather was ideal, and the par ty workers were busy from the start Confidence was expressed at the head quarters of both democratic and re- publican parties during the day, and mp to the time the polls closed, al- though the pubilation over the large vote was more in evidence at the re- publican rooms, where it was said to presage the success of the party this year.
 The following officials were at their posts during the day: Moderator. E. W. Jacobs; checker. M. F. Sullivan; box tender, Daniel Grady; booth tend CTS. Daniel Kelley, Charles Baker and Charles Southworth: ballot tenders, Michael HurIihe and Heliodore Tru- deau; challengers, Eugene Randall and M F. Falvey
 The first ballot was cast by Law renee Hickey, and during the first hour 102 votes were deposited in the box. By noon the figures had reached 1,054, at 1.4o the total was LAO, while at , when the ballot was declared closed, the number of the last ballot put in the box was 2.G46. Two years ago the number was 2.o74, in a presidential year.
 Just before the polls closed, man who gave the name of Frank Bourra, tried to get by the moderator and box tender without depositing any ballot. He was stopped and there was talk of having him searched, but while the officials were making up their minds to the proper procedure. the man ran out of the door. down the stairs and up Church street. escaping from his pur- suers. He was later reported to be at democratic headquarters. but no ef- fort was made at the time to take him into custody. It is supposed that he had ballot with him. When he was stopped he said he had voted in the morning and was just going through the room.
 According to the checkers at both democratic and republican headquar- ters the former were ahead on the count, but this way of figuring is g@n- eraIly barren of result, for in it no account is taken of split tickets, and the independent voter is much in evil deuce these days.

EsMERALoA's PASSING

Hankins had the same feeling toward the hen that one has for fat bank account, ones grandmother and one's wife. That is, he regarded Esmeraida with a mixture of pleasure. veneration and possessive jealousy There wasn't a hen like her in the neighborhood and secretly Hankns was certain there wasn't her equal in the whole wide world. To be sure there might be exhibition birds with bigger egg re- cords-but then. if so, they lacked her super hen intelligence; there might be up to Esmeralda's laying achieve. ments. Any way one put 1t Esmeralda occupied a pinnacle in the chicken world lonely in its grandeur. With 1t all she was a retiring, unassumins,, clueking creature who was not above her position in life as one of a. small flock domiciled in Hankins' back yard She had the modesty that is characteristic of all true greatness.
 After greeting the family on his re- turn from the city it was always Han kins' custom to proceed to the rear premises and drop kindly word to Esmeralda- He did not even mind LopeTs remarks. The Lopers who liv- ed next door, grew a garden and re- garded hens as inventions of the evil one Indeed on one memorable oeca- sion, before Hankins had got his run fenced in with chicken wire, some of his poultry invaded the Loper garden, which was then in a tender kinder gaFten stage, and the ensuing battle had been hot.
 What Loper threatened to do to Hankins' hens was plenty.
 The Saturday when Hankins arrived home to find Esnaeralda missing will never be forgotten. The rest of the chickens were browsing sbout con tenteClly but no Esmerelda clucked back when he called. With awful fore boding Hankins peered into the alley under the baclEsteps up in the air, Es- meralda was neither perched on the ciothesline nor on the shingles of the sleeping porch nor scaling the roof
 She was gone.
 The whole Hankins family came out to search and finally some one thought of the Lopers' garden A concerted rush to the fence disclosed the garden all serene and untenanted
 At the farther side Lopef was dig ging unconcernedly
 'Hey." Hankins called anxiously.

I've lost a chicken-Esmeralda- must have got out of the run in some manner. Have you seen her2''
 Loper turned upon him with as much clothes and hoe would allow.
 T have seen her." he admitted. Then he returned to his hoeing and spoke over one shoulder. At present she is boiling for 8 fricassee on our gas stove-I hope she will not be fought"
 For one awful minute Hankins stood paraiyzed, It was as though some one casually had said he was boiling the baby for lunch. Loper turned again 'T told you" he stated, what would happen if you let your internal chickens muss up my garden! And
 While he was still paraIyzed they led Hankins into the house and locked the doors on him. When he emerged from his stupefaction he found him. self possessed of words and idess he had never suspected. His powers of invention were marvellous. In a very short time he had invoked the aid Of not only the city authorities, but those of the governor national congress and the president and cabinet to put Loper in the place he belonged. \
 If that wouldn't do, Hankins would not stop at conyening the peace con- vention at The Hague. Plungipg the country into a copy of the European war was not beyond him. He insist ed that it was not so much the hen as the principle involved but the whole family down to Jimmy knew it was because Hankins' heartstrtngs were rung.
 Bereft of Esmeralda life stretched dark and tame. He had kept her egg records for four years and now what would he do? When he was pale and haggard and ealmed down to suffering submission they let him out into the backyard with his sorrow.
 Doper still was digging on the other side of tbe garden. Stopping Hankins picked up a convenient brickbat. While he fingered it lovingly eyeing IIoper's back he saw Esmeralda,
 Her foolish head stuck out from under a 4 o'clock bush by the fence. In two steps HanlxinE found out the truth-Esmeraida was trying to steal a nest and set. Therefore the bird that Loper caught and assassinated must have been just an ordinary hen.
 Hankins went back over all his har- rowing emotion with rising wrath Es- meralda looked up at him with a par ticulaFly foolshi chuck,
 Col darn ycul" Hanhns cried, in disgust, And you weren't dead after all-Making me all the trouble."
 He shied the brickbat at Esmeraldal
