The Female of the Species

It was the day of the primary cleo tion. Into local polling place walked a woman. She was a large woman, generously proportioned and gener- ously girt with flesh. Behind her a few steps walked a man. He was a small man, inadequate as to size, and meek as to demeanor. They were man and wife.
 The election officials looked up with interest, for things had been dull. One of them courteously advanced. He asked the woman whether she wished a Republican or a Democratic ballot.
 The lady looked at him. He seemed to wither. Then she said:
 Sir, l wish you to understand that it is nobodys business which ticket my Henry and I shall vote"
 The election clerk, or whatever he was, withdrew. But a fellow not so easily awed, spoke up, But, madam, you have to take one of them"
 Young man, "quoth the lady. "I wish to give you to understand that Henry and I never vote a straight ticket"
 It was not learned what happened to the lady and her spouse and how they avoided voting either Republican or Democratic, but it has been an nounced that the gentlemen present at that precinct polling place now thor oughly understand the voting ideals of a certain Phoenix lady and her lesser half.

Reason for the Crowd

Last Sunday a resident of the city had occasion to go out West Wash ington street to see a friend who lived in the capitol addition. It had been some time since the man had been out the capitol way and as the car bumped along he looked for familiar landmarks. He saw Johns home and Jims place and the homes of other men he knew. and he refreshed his memory with the many escapadss which as boys they had pulled off in the old desert town.
 Near his destination a familiar land mark struck his eye and he remem- bered with great pleasure, Tom. the closest friend of his life, lived not far distant. He had not seen Tom for many weeks and he began to wonder about him as the car neared his home. When the house came into view, the man was much surprised to see about twenty automobiles lined up in front of Toms old home.
 The manner in which they were lined up along the curb with no one occupying them struck the man as queer and he at once looked for a hearse, but saw none. The thought came that perhaps Tom had passed away and he made great haste to get off the car at the next corner. As he came up the walk to the house, the feeling that a funeral or service of some kind was in progress was in

Dancing at Riverside

King Brady and his band at River side are still proving the feature at traction with the dancing public. These boys, thoroughly schooled in the art of furnishing the dance music that pleases, have long since been voted the last word in dance excellence. Their waltzes are real. their fox trots snappy and full of life, and every dance they play calls forth encore after encore
 The ballroom at Riverside park. cool roomy and possessed of a wonderful dancing surface, finds itself crowded nightly with those anxious to enjoy to the fullest the alluring dance, where the facilities and surroundings be- speak thorough dance atmosphere
 The refreshment service continues as a feature with! park, and the sea- son continues at full blast.
 "The Orphan" at Ramona
 William Farnum continues as the attraction at the Ramona, offering 'The Orphan" This is @ story of an outlaw, of the same character that Farnum has made famous for the si- lent drama. An orphan because of the murder of his father, he assumes that sobriquet and takes the road as an outlaw, that he might continue the search for the man who caused his fathers death
 After a series of strange adventures which include several holdups. and several narrow escapes from death, he finally locates the man he seeks If he had had adventure up to that point. he has doubly more adventure through the strange escapades in which he is forced to go in pursuit of the man he had sworn to kill. The very human love story prevailing the plot adds very materially to the general excellence of the production.

WHITE ISSUES STATEMENT
 ADMITTING COX'S DEFEAT

New York November 2--George White. chairman of the democratic national committee, conceded the election of Sem ator Harding at Il o'clock tonight.
 The following statement was issued by MT. White:
 The abandonment by some of the most prominent republican leaders of the very League of Nations which they helped to construct has been successful. The people have succumbed to the con fusion wrought by these distinguished men and to the misrepresentation or those who would not and did not under stand the League of Nations. I hope it may yet be rescued from the political morass and be saved to mankind

MYDUFFIE A COMING {
 MAN, SAY SENATORS
Congressman From Mobile Section Did Great Work In
 Seventh

Senator Oscar Underwood, Senator J. Thomas Heflin and Congressman John McDuffie of the First district, were among the interested watchers of the Age Herald bulletins yesterday evening.
 They were fresh from the battle royal that has been waged in the Seventh dis trict, where Congressman L. B. Rainey was faced with republican opposition.
 Both senators were warm in their praise of Representative McDuffie and his work campaigning for his fellow con- gressman.
 He is rapidly making his mark" said Senator Underwood
 .McDuffie's mind is one of the most incisively keen with which I have come in contact,' was Senator Heflin's com ment.
 The Mobile statesman, who is no stranger to Birmingham, shared attention with the senators while here. His ap- pearance is striking. His profile is not unlike that of President Mckinley, when Ohio's famous son was first in Con- gress.
 Perhaps he is best described by an impromptu question of one who had seen him for the first time and did not know who he was. Nodding toward Congress- man McDuffie, he asked:
 sWho is that he man?''
