VERY SMALL VOTE
IN VERMONT PRIMARY
Wood Leads Field By Wide Margin
Not a Vote Cast in
Some Towns.


RUTLAND, May ls.-Scattering re-
turns from the presidential preference

a very light vote, only about one TWEEN
tleth of the normal number taking; the

On. the Republican ballot there were
printed only the names of William Grant

as candidates for the presidential nomi-
nation. No petitions were filed for n
place on the Democratic ticket.
Returns from 80 cities and towns
show the following vote: Wood, 1889:
Hoover, Boil; johnson, 260;. Webster.
$50; Coolidge. 100.
one OF the surprises of the day was
the small number of voters who wrote
m the name of Governor Coolidge of
Massachusetts, who is a native of Yer
mont, he running fifth, even Webster. an
unknown, receiving more votes.
AS an indication of the slight interest
taken in the election not single vote

cast their ballots.
The names of few Democrats were
written including McAdoo, BRYAN.

UNCLE WlGGILY AND JACKIE'S JTTNEY.

''Rat-a-tat-tat" came knock
one evening on the floor OF the hoI-
low stump bungalow where Uncle
Wiggily Longears, the nice bunny
rabbit gentleman, lived with Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. his muskrat la
dy housekeeper.
"Rat-a-tat-tat!"
"I1l 60" offered Nurse Jane, for
she had just lighted the lamp for
Uncle Wiggily to read his evening
paper.
NO, you'd better not" spoke the
rabbit, pushing his glasses up from
his pink, twinkling nose. 1T
might be the Pip or skee, trying to
fool us by making believe they
were friends coming to pay an ev-
ening visit. I'll 60"
So Uncle wiggily opened the door
of his hollow stump bungalow, and
he was very gladly surprised when
he saw Jackie Bow Wow, the little
puppy dog boy. standing there on
the steps. And Jackie seemed
quite excited.
What's the NATTER: asked Un-
Gle Wiggily.
"Oh, I'm going to get an ice
cream cone" barked Jackie.

Alison was thankful for the heavy
hair that partially hid her face
when her mother-in-law made the
astonishing asserticn Of Lawrence'f
abstinence.
Remembering sundry occasions at
the country club before their mar
risge when Lawrencs had been de-
|cidediy "squined," his bride was
moved to wonder.
There was no doubt that his
mother fully believed the truth of
her assertion. She leaned forward,
her eyes flashing with an exhibition
of more emotion than Alison could
recall having seen in her before.
II have always loathed drink and
men who imbibed it," she declared
emphatically, II would never live
with q drunkard-never! What the
CunninEhams mean by entrusting
their daughters future to such a
man as Tony Grant, / cannot imas-

''oh, Tony's just young and rath-
er wild yet. of course" said Alison
tolerantly, "besides, as soon as the
Grant private stock is exhausted,
Tony will be as nice a boy as ever
lived"
Her mother-in-law regarded her
with a disapproving eye.
Then you don't object to vices7"
Not to such young vices" Alison
spoke with the tolerance of a dow
ager OF nifty. "and especially not TO
the little bit that Tony and his set
drink. I've always considered the
boys that didn't do those THINKS

Mrs. Osborne pushed back her
chair as though removing herself
from contamination.
DO you consider Lawrence a mol
lycoddle? she asked stiffiy.
Certainly not" protested Alhon
quickly, flushing.

accomplishments which you seem to
think constitute manhood"

Monica is not nearly as popular

US almost direct from the Spanish,

that name. who is associated with
the Inquisition, had namesakes in
all the Romanist lands, and the fem

The mother of Saint Augustine
was the first TO be called Monica.
Some etymologists even believe that
her name should be classified as
one coming directly from the Latin
verb "monac," meaning Ito advise"

Monica was evolved in the manner
