Mrs Belmont's butler informed

Madam is working today" he said.
y 'What?' gasped the friend at the
other end Of the wire, "working?"

There was something sounding

STRAW BALLOT OLD CUSTOM
History Proves It to Have Been Used
at GIadiatorial Contests In
Ancient Rome.

Americas quadrennial visitation has
again ravaged the country from Key
West to Puget sound, from Maine to
California. 1t is the straw ballot, the
New York Evening Post states.
The straw ballot, as such, is dis
ease that RACES rampant only in the
United States. Yet it has existed in
other countries. In old Rome straw
ballots were once used at gladiatOrial
contests. Later, because of a short
age of straw, the Romans had to use
thumbs, an art at which legend has
it they became quite ambidextrous.
And In Mexico, for another instance,
straw ballots are DOT unknown, ex-
cept that in the southern republic they
are usually designated as presidential
elections"
One of the first references to straw
is in Exodus, when Pharaoh pro
nounced his famous "Ye shall no more
give the people straw; let them go
an0 gather straw for themselves"
Pharaoh was evidently the political
boss of mis- day, and a shrewd one, for
it is reported that "the people were
scattered abroad to gather stubble in
stead of straw"
Notwithstanding the usefulness Of
ballots of straw-to which Webster
pays its compliments as "a thing Of
smallest worth"-they are as fashion
able now as appendicitis ever was.

The Methodist congregation, as
well as the general public in Algiers
are proud of Rev. c. c. Wier, who has
been with us here for the past five
years doing such meritorious work.
His tenure of office will long be re.
membered and his successful work
will become a part of Methodist his
tory in this section.
Mr.. Wier is a typical preacher.
He is one Of those good hearted men
who practices what he breaches. He
has been recognized as a worker OF
executive ability, and the Methodist
church which is nearing completion
in Opelousas avenue is due, to a
great extent, to his untiring efforts
in bringing about this added asset
to the church and state. Mr.. Wier
loves his profession. He not only
administers to his own congregation,
but he is often found at the bedside
of the sick in our hospitals whether
they are of his own faith or not Mr..
Wier has civic pride to the extent
that he is recognized as one of our
foremost citizens. and his counsel is
often sought in advice on public mat
tiers, as well as in the church.

to Mr.. Weir is the beautiful parson-
age on Olivier street, which he in
sisted upon purchasing a few years
ago. This parsonage was formerly
the home of one of our prominent
Methodists, the late Frank A. Daniels.
When Mr.. Wier is called away
from Algiers, he may leave here with
the knowledge and the pride that the
greatest amount of improvements
ever made through his congregation
was all done during his five years
stay in Algiers.

1t is without doubt that the most
important work ever done by Dr.

Of Jerusalem where he struck the
