shoe-shiner, with a stand in City Hall
circles His young sister was on the
job the other day with results calcu-
lated to impress the greater scoffer.
In Knockers and with bobbed hair fly
ing. thir' ?en-year-old Katherine en-
ployed her time simply in marching
customers up to her brothers chair.
She had a keep eye for picking out OF
the crowds those gentlement who had
dust on their shoes and she made for
them. Hey. mister" she would say
in low persuasive tones, you can't 70
home to your wife with your shoes
looking like that" The gentleman ad-
dressed would waver and then agree
Then up to the proper place, Katherine
escorted him, and Louis reaped In the
dimes while the unsistered competi'
tors groancd in nvy.

There are angles of New York life
which are never given publicity, as
are It's White Lights activities, and
never quite realized as a part OF New
York's real self. One OF these Is the
astonishing number OF people OF al
faiths who attend church every noon
downtown. While sightseers are walk

furnishings of the pews where famous
personages have worshipped. people
who work in nearby offices. keep com

Henderson Trio First Attraction in
Glover Course.

=, The Henderson Trio, which is to
appear at the Glover Community
church, on the evening of Wednesday,
November 8, as the first number of
the Lyceum Course, is made up of
three individual artists, any one of
whom is qualified in every way to
present a full evenings program.
Each member of the Trio has studied
extensively with prominent Boston
vocal teachers and the company was
organized and coached by one of the
most competent producers of Lyceum
companies.
One of the important and entertain
ing features of the program is the
scotch impersonations in costume, a
feature which never fails to please.
This part of the program includes
many of the old Scotch songs, such
as "Wee Hoose 'mang the Heather" !"
'SShe's the Lass for Me-" wearing
Kits" 'T Hate to Get Up in the
Morning." etc. The program includes
other impersonations, also readings,
both musical and dramatic, and dram
attic sketches. The music includes
both the light and classical. They in
troduce many entertaining novelty
features throughout the program, all
of which will make the program most
enjoyable.
Those who have heard tt.is Trio
during the last few seasons have
frankly stated that. the vocal work of
the three equals from the standpoint
of melody and artistic worth, many
of the popular male quartets of the
country.

Baird Makes Statement.
To the Independent Voters of the
Town of Barton:

To the Independent Voters of the
Town of Barton:
A petition for my nomination as
Independent candidate for town rep
resentative was filed with the town
clerk at Barton within the time re-
quired by law, containing the requir-
ed number of signatures.
At the eleventh hour an objection
to the petition was filed by Mr.. E. w.
Barron as a. voter at the request of
F. D. Thompson.
In this objection Mr.. Barron COM
plains that the petition was improp-
erly filed as to technical details and
requests that the town clerk refuse to
place my name on the ballot as an
Independent candidate.
This objection was allowed and as
there is not time to have the ruling
changed if it has a right to be, it
will have to stand.
My name, however, will appear on
the official ballot as the Democratic
candidate for town representative and
it behooves the Independent voters of
this town to support my candidacy as
such and assert their rights in an
unmistaken measure.
Shall justice and fair play prevail

Thompson Replies to jenkins Appeal
for Independent Votes.

Editor of the Monitor
The letter of G. E. jenkins in your
last weeks Monitor boosting Pliny
w. Baird as Independent-Demo
candidate for town representative is
so misleading and it's real purpose
so disguised that it should not be al
lowed to go uncommented upon. AS
it is Indirectly aimed at me as the
Republican nominee for town repre-
sentative, / am assuming the burden
of making such comment, instead of
letting some of my friends do it.
We may concede that Mr.. Baird
possesses all the qualifications for
the Office claimed by Mr.. Jenkins, but
that is not the point.
Mr.. jenkins says that Mr.. Baird
should be supported to break the
long-established "rule" whereby Bar
ton village SHOULD have two repre-
sentatives to one at Orleans" If
there were such a rule, there might
be some substance to his claim; but it
is not the fact. For convenience
