A SUMMER NIGHT SHOWER

A SUMMER NIGHT SHOWER
REHIND the westward hills tho
thunder mumbing,
A heavy hush upon the unmoved
A sutfocatng hush that seems to
seize
And choke one; then the thundor's
closer grumbling,
Somebody with a stubborn window
fumblng,
sudden puff of monitory breeze,
Sharp slaps Of raindrops; and right
after these
The fiery uproar Of the storm comes
tumblng.
Now lights are lit, and all the house
awakcs,
And prowling feet pass up and down
the halls;
The rooted earth beneath the onset
shakes,
Down with a crash a blightcd chestnut
falls,
And far away upon lonely height
burning Darn mares up against tho
night. G. S.B.
The fine for smoking anywhere but

Quiet Elections
 Are Held in City
 and in Four Towns

There were only two outstanding features in cAmection with vester- days city election. One was the un- usually light vote cast. The other was delectable turkey dinner which the clerks and judges of the sec ond ward enjoyed-almost. The din- ner was there, but the clerks and judges weren't.
 Ben Harvey, secretary of the cleo tion commission promised the judges and clerks in thesecond ward a tur- key dinner. This was evidently taken for joke, for only one of them put in an appearance. That was Dewoody Lyle, and after awhile, wearying of continual nothing-to- do, Dewoody quit the shop. But key dinners we're brought to the polling place.
 Nobody home. Dinners returned.
 There was no opposition to the democratic nominee in the. election yesterday, and this was responsible for the lack of interest. In yester- days election ,the nominees, who included Earl Wood for municipal yuuge, A. N. cooper, clty attorney; G. D. McGibbony, alderman from the first ward; F. o. McGemee of the third ward, and J. A. Clement of the fourth ward, were reelected. c. A. Gordon, nominee for alderman from the second ward, was elected to succeed J. H. Means, retired. Elec- tions also passed quietly in Altheim- CT, Wabbaseka and Redficld.
 At Humphries J. A. Aslorn was elected mayor. Arthur Hickey, pres ont mayor, though not on the regu- lar ticket, was put forward as can didate only yesterday morning. He received 87-votes to Aslorn's D4.
