FIRST ELECTION IN 1889
George Washington of Virginia, Re.
ceiving Sixty-Nine Votes From Ten
States, Chosen President.

The first election for president Of
the United States occurred in the
states which ratified the Constitution
on the first Wednesday of January, the
9TH, 1889. Only ten of the thirteen
states voted in that election, New
York, Rhode Island and North Caro-
lima not voting. In five of the states,
viz, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia,
New Jersey and South Carolina, the
people did not vote, the presidential
electors being chosen by the state leg
islatures.
At that time the Constitution re-
quired the presidential electors to vote
for two persons, the one receiving the
majority to be president and the one
receiving the next greatest number to
be vice president. There had been no
conventions held, no nominations
made and no platforms adopted. The
presidential electors were left without
instructions, to vote as they pleased or
according to their own discretion.
The ten states which constituted the
first electoral college had 73 votes,
viz, Connecticut, z; Delaware, 81 Geor-
gia, 8: Maryland, 8; Massachusetts,
10; New Hampshire, 5; New Jersey,
6; Pennsylvania, 10; South Carolina,
z; Virginia, IL. On the first ballot
each Of the 73 electors voting for two
persons, the vote resulted:
For George Washington of Virginia,
SO; John Adams of Massachusetts, "a; !;
John Jay Of New York, 9; Robert III.
Harrison Of Maryland, g.; John Rut-
ledge of South Carolina, 6; John Han
cock OF Massachusetts, 4 George Clin-
ton of New York, 3; Samuel Hunting
ton of Connecticut, 2; John Milton Of
Georgia, 2; James Armstrong of Geor-
gia, l.; Benjamin Lincoln of Massa-
chusetts, 1 (; Edward Telfair Of Geor-
gia, 1. This ballot made Washington
president and John Adams, the next
highest, vice president.

RARE PosIEs IN THE ARCTIC
for Long Winter During Which
There Is No Sunshine.

In the brief, bright, nightless sum-
mer the Arctic is paradise of flowers.
1t would seem to be compensation
Of Dame Nature for the long winter,
during which the sun never shows his
jolly face once, observes a correspond
ent.
A great many of these plants have
of late years become familiar to gar
den lovers because they are much used
in rock gardens, and every flower lover
knows their delicacy of structure, their
brightness of color and their hardi-
hood.
But nothing can beat their original
environment. These patches of yellow
and blue and rose and purple, cheek
by jowl with great beds of snow or
some stranded and long unmelted berg,
look lovely. It is the setting they were
made for.
Strangely enough, when brought
south and coaxed to grow in our gar
dens, these Arctic and Alpine plants
lose both part of their great vitality
and their lovely tint. They pine for
the Arctic like the Eskimo does.
Nansen tells of delicate bluebells
nodding in the breeze, saxifrages with
large blossoms, pale yellow mountain
poppies, white cloudberry flowers, and
blue forget-me-nots in countless mil
lions in the neighborhood of the north
pole. So 1t Is not all desolation and
death. A flower seed is one of the
most difficult things in nature to kill.
Give it half a chance and it will show
up smiling, and do it's 'bit" in making
the world brighter place to live in.

"SERVANT" AN ABUSED WORD
President of United States, Heads ~
Banks, Ministers, Physicians
Are in Same Class.

It is a pity that we have allowed %
word servant" opprobrium utterly un-
merited. Talk about "help," or the Lat.
est equivalent, "maid," used quite in
appropriately, says the Youths Com
panion, does not alter circumstances
In the least, nor is there any reason
why we should wish them altered.
Every one who is worth anything 10
a servant. The merchant serves his
customers. If he serves them not well,
they discharge him. The lawyer serves
his clients, the minister his parishion-
ers, the doctor his patients. The presi-
dent of bank is servant, and so is
the president of a railway. The presi-
dent of the United States is the hired
servant of the people of the United
States, and few servants in any occu-
patton are more abused by their mas
ters.
formed, is the only real dignity, and
all theSoutward pomp and insignia of
rank are but badges of service, and
disgraceful If they are not earned.
Service is life. 1t is only when we
are doing something to serve the large
movement of the world what we are
entitled to live in it, that we really do
live in it. Life is measured by useful
ness. Of all the varied affiiction that
swift-footed age can bring, none is
more oppressive than the sense of di.
minished capacity for service.
Not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, not to be served, but to serve,
Is the utterance of the highest author
tty in spiritual matters. There is but
one disgrace connected with service of
any kind, and that is to serve i'll. Let
us perform whatever service falls to
us, large or small, high or low, with all
the zeal and all the strength that is in
us. Then we shall be sure that when
we depart we shall be missed, If only
a little; and there is no more solid
satisfaction in the world than that

YOUNG MAN TWICE MISTAKEN
Addressed as Salesman in Hat Store
and Given a Dollar Bill as
Tip at Restaurant.

81 forgot to have my initials put in
new hat that I bought last week, .
said Mr.. Burlington, "and so passing
that way today, I stopped in at the
store. M
"a little back from the door l saw
a tall, straight, trinity attired young
man standing there, hatless, looking
toward the front, and to him l said,
at the same time holding out my hat
"'Will you please put my initials
in this hat?'
swell, I'd be glad to do that, for
you,' the tall young man said, but
I am waiting here to have the initials
put in my own hat And he. said this
smiling, and with absolute good
humOr.
"Then found q salesman who took
my hat; and when / ventured to ex-
press to the tall young man my regret
over having made such mistake In
first addressing him he said 1t was all
right, and toldla little story Of some
what similar experience that had once
befallen him.
Zone night last winter while he was
waiting in a restaurant for a friend
who was to join him there, being in
dress clothes at the time and standing
at the moment near the door, guest
in passing out thrust something into
his hand. He didn't look at this, but
tucked it in his pocket. A little later
when 1t occurred to him that some
body had handed him something he
fished it out of his pocket to see what
1T was. 1t was a dollar bill.''
