After Rain in the Desert.

After a rain in the deserts Of the
southern part of the United States
there is a scent in the air which is
very much like spices. This odor
comes from the greasewOod bush.
which grows in great quantities all
over the dry lands at certain alti-
tudes. This shrub is dark green. and
when its leaves are dampened by the
rain, they send out into the air this
very agreeable perfume. which makes
rain in the desert even more pleasant.

Tor mayor of Annapolis. who was de-

by seventeen votes in the election
held ON July IL, has decided not to
contest the election of his opponent.
At one time Mr.. Gott had practically
decided to make the contest.
There were allegations that trregu-
hrtties had taken plxce In different
voting places. notably in the Fourth
ward. where the voters are nearly all
colored- 1t was stated that in that
ward two ballots had been placed in
the box without detaching the cou
pons and also that a Democratic judge
had left the polling place without
proper reason, first swearing in a col
ored Republican as his successor. In
Inc Second ward, 1t was stated.
eleven ballots were placed in the
box without the name Of the ballot
clerk written on them.
After Mr.. Colt and his friends had
considered the whole matter carefully
he decided that a contest was mad.
vtsable- 1t appeared, in fact. that q
recount would probably increase May
or JeneJ majority slightly. The idea
OF contest was. therefore. aban-
doned.
