Call on the Shop Girl Who Is Sitting
Down

Don't think that just because the girl
is sitting down that she is tired and you
must not call on her. 1t merely means
there is a hull in the business and that
she is resting while she can. The No
vember Woman's Home Companion gives
some timely advice on this idea. 1t
saws:
''She stands behind a counter heaped
with dainty fabrics, little. slim, de
mure figure in trig black and white She
is very young, hardly a day older than
your own girl at high school. Yet com
pared to the clerk of yesterday, she is

has seen to that. Its instructors have
taught her promptness and judgment
and courtesy. They have taught her to
quiet her voice and her attire, to rule
her temper, to keep her manners and
her finger nails above reproach. They
have taught her many things But one
thing they could not teach: they have
not taught her how not to get tired.
Even now, while she so willingly lifts
down box after box of laces, that you
may match the exact edge for Aunt

SPLIT VOTE POSSIBLE
IN CALIFORNIA
Republicans Were Claiming Three of the
States 13 Votes in Electoral
College.

San Francisco, Nov ll.-California
politicians have settled down to prepare
for a vigilant surveillance of em-official
count of the state by county clerks, and
the final count by the secretary of state.
All future proceedings, leaders of both
parties agreed, will hinge upon what de-
velops in these counts.
At o'clock last night Wilson led in
the state by 1886 votes. With Is pre-
cincts missing the count stood: Hughes
462,sl3, Wilson 466,099.
Chester II. Rowell chairman of the
Republican state central committee, and
O. X. Cushing. chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee. agreed
that the outlying precincts still to be
heard from would not make much differ
ence in the official returns. They differed
as to the official count, Mr. Cushing
claiming the state and Mr.. Rowell claim
ing a split delegation in the electoral
college. The Republicans expected to get
three of the l3 electors and perhaps more.
Legal counsel has been retained by Re-
publicans and Democrats to aid in watch
ing the final counts. In addition, deputy
L. S. marshals and secret service men
have been detailed in the large counties.
Returns from incomplete precincts
were obtained with extreme difficulty

NEW NATIONAL MONUMENT.
Created in Alaska BY the United States
Government

| As a result of recommendations made
by the secretary of agriculture, the "Old
| Kassan National monument" consisting
of 3S acres within the Tongass national
forest, Alaska, has just been created by
presidential proclamation. The tract en-
braces the well known abandoned Haida
Indian village of Old Kassan, situated
on Prince of Wales island in southeast
ern Alaska, about 80 miles west of the
city of Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by the In
dians about 10 years ago. Among the
relics which remain there are about so
Indian totem poles, five or six of which
are classed as exceedingly good specimens.
In the deserted village there are also
eight large square buildings which were
originally constructed according to the
peculiar plan of the Haida Indians, and
which, it is stated by those best quail
fed to know, represent the best speci-
mems of Haida architecture that now ex-
ist The largest of these buildings is
approximately 40 by go feet in size and
is made entirely of round and carved
timbers. There also remain a number of
Indian graves with the typical small
grave houses erected by the Alaskan In
dians.
"Kassan" is said to be the Indian word
which means "a pretty town." and all
reports agree that the village was well
The fact that the village was
occupied by the Indians for many years
explains the local name "Old" Kassan,
by which it is widely known.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been rap
idly falling into state of dilapidation
and decay, and certain amount of van
dalism by tourists and souvenir hunters
renders some form of protection essen
tial. An examination of the area was
made jointly by representatives of the |
forest service and of the interior depart !
ment and reports strongly urging the |
of national monument |
we're approved by the secretaries of both /
departments. The Smithsonian institu-
lion strongly endorsed the proposition /
'or the establishment of a national mon
iment. The new national monument /
will be protected and administered by
he forest service, as is the case with
III monuments located within the ma
ional forests.

NO ARREST MADE.
In Island Pond Murder Following Elec-
tion Argument.

Island Pond, Nov. ll.-No arrests have
been made since the killing of l5-year-
old Archie Reggie on the street in this
village last Wednesday night. States
Attorney Powell says he has discovered
several important clews. 1t is generally
believed that several of the crowd of
rowdies who engaged in an election ar
gument know who fired the shot that
killed the boy.
1t is thought by many that the slayer
of Reggie has not made any attempt to
leave town, providing he was resident
of this place, doubtless waiting for the
excitement to subside. On the other
hand it is thought by some that the
murderer got too much of start of the
officers and is now in New Hampshire
or has secreted himself in the forests
between here and the Canadian border in
the belief that he can put himself beyond
the reach of Vermont authorities.
If the murderer expects to get across
the border he win find himself beset
with many difficulties as the Dominion
keep strict watch for un-
desirables during the war, and the man
would have slight chance to get far into
Canada before being apprehended.
The killing of Reggie was the most
wsnton sacrifice of human life which has
occurred in this part of Vermont for
many years. The boy was upon the
streets of this village in common with
others Wednesday night and came upon
a crowd, it is alleged, of quarreling
toughs who were discussing the results
Of the national election,
The dispute became heated and two
or more men, it is claimed, came to
blows. Reggie attempted to act as
and started to separate the |
lighters. Someone drew a revolver and |
shot the boy, the bullet passing through !
his head. A crowd quickly congregated |
ind as none of the men engaged in the /
dispute made any attempt to detain the
nan who did the shooting he could not
'e identified.

is hoped to secure the Pavilion theatre
building for the exhibit and if the own
err of the property carries out his pur-
poses of laying level floor in the audi
torium to replace the inclined floor, it
is altogether probable that the exhibit
will be staged on Pearl street Hereto
for the association has held its annual
show either in the Church street gym
nasium or in Montpelier. Early indica
tions point to the largest registration of
birds IN the ten years OF the associations
existence. Last winter the Church street
show room was crowded with birds from
several states and Canada. This year
it seems certain that the registration
will not only embrace a wider area but
will eclipse last winters record of 1000
birds.

hibit were so uniformly satisfactory that
they have been engaged to ofiiciate next
