A5SENT-MINDED ALICE.

Alice was very absent minded.
She did everything TO make herself re-
member things instead OF forgetting
them, but nothing seemed to help her
She tied a string around her finger
and knot in her handkerchief. and
then she wondered why she had put
the string around her finger and the
knot in her handkerchief
But even more than forgetting
things she would forget even herself
AT times when she should have been
thinking OF herself and what she was
doing.
And because many times she had
done this she was known as Absent
Minded Alice
Alice was never Intentionally rude
She was never anything of the sort.
She liked people and she wanted
them to like her. Yet often she would
forget TO speak to people whom she
had met before.
And her observation-disclosures had be
come habit. She hated that little
invisible creature called Habit Hab-
II had such strong clutches and was
so powerful and made such Roadway
when no one was noticing.
Habit did things little by little, too.
so no one was hardly aware that
Habit was around until one saw that
Habit had succeeded in having things
so that it was almost impossible TO
oppose him.
Alice knew that Habit had a cousin
or brother-she was not quite sure
OF the relationship-who was known

REGISTERING ALL VOTERS

The coming Legislature win prob
ably be asked to provide for the sub
mission to the voters of the state of
an amendment calling for the regis
tration of all voters, those in the
rural sections as well as the cities.
1t is also proposed to include in
the amendment the elimination of the
party emblems, which make it easier
for the illiterate voters to do the
bidding of the party bosses.
This program, if put through,
would in no way increase the diff
'culties of the voters really qualified
to cast votes, and would do away
with the power of the unintelligent
and the illiterate. Along these lines
the Elizabethtown News has the fol-
lowing to say:
"The Louisville Post is authority
for the statement that there will be
introduced at the next session of the
general assembly a bill providing
for a statewide registration of the
voters.
