low of our regiment committed suicide

According to newspaper reports a
rather amusing situation was enjoyed
by the soldiers when a baseball game
was played by the officers of the First

regiment.
Everybody was wise to the fact that
he could say anything he wanted to

being hauled before assummary court.
With great dignity the officers strobe
out upon the field and started to play
All was quiet for time and then:
Hey, you big stiff with the skinny
shanks. Can't you run?
"Say fat, you had better go on the
water wagon for about forty years,
and then you may be able to move

somebody tell him he could play ball,
or is he only trying to play with US?
And these were only few of the
things that came from the bleachers

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stomach
will rebel. When man reaches the
advanced age of SIS or 80, you will
find that he is a light eater. Be as
careful as you will however, you will
occasionally eat more than you should
and will feel the need of Chamber

CURRENT COMMENT.

There are two days in the year
Thanksgiving and Christmas-when
the memory of those who left the old
home "back East" TO settle in this
glorious Western country unconscious
ly wanders back to the old father and
mother who still live on the old home
stead in far distant states. And today,
as they gather around the festive
board and make merry with their own
children and with friends, there will
come during the fun and frolic a mist
ness of the eyes Of the son and daugh-
ter and into their thoughts steal pic
lures of other Thanksgiving days
when they sat at table grooming
with the weight of good things, in
company with relatives and friends,
with father at one end of the table
and mother at the other. They hear
again the good man offer up his pray
er of thanksgiving. They have visions
of that good man, white haired, strong
of face, earnest of conviction, simple |
as a child, pure in life, large hearted, |
man of faith and works. Beginning |
his petition, the good man said:
"Father, we thank Thee that it is as
well with us as il is" Perhaps to-
day, though lonely and longing for a
sight of their baby boy or girl, now
grown to mature manhood and wo
manhood they will send up the same
old prayer of faith and trust and con-
fidence and content-"We thank Thee
that it is as well with us as it is"
All over the land there will be the
observance of Thanksgiving Day.
Families will be about the family
tables. There will be the welcoming
Of sons and daughters, brothers, sis
Lers, relatives and friends. May all
IF us have the overlooking hearts.
May we be abundantly thankful. May
We be thankful not because "it is as
we'll with us as it is" but may we
lave tht larger vision and the more !

didates do not appear on the ballots
in most states. Instead are printed
the names of the Republican and DEM
ocratic electors. Occasionally some
elector is extremely popular or es-
pecially obnoxious. Then a few men
may 90 out of their way to vote for
him even if he isn't on their party
ticket, or to scratch his name. Some
times men vote only for one elector
in states where the Australian ballot
is used. believing that thereby they
are voting the whole ticket, when on
this particular ballot it is necessary to
put the cross at the head of the ticket
in order to cast straight ballot. In
such cases only one elector gets the
vote and so that one may run ahead of
the rest and be elected, while the
others are defeated. 1t is understood
that in Maryland in 1908, several
hundred citizens voted for the first
.wo electors, believing they were vot-
ny for President and Vice. President. |
So these electors got several hundred |
more votes than the other six with the |
esult that the state divided its cleo
oral vote, giving six to Bryan and
wo to Taft. Maryland divided its
ote in 1904. Kentucky and Californ-
ia in 1896 and half dozen states in
892. California divided its vote in
9l2.
