Out of Place.

When winds are bleak and skies
are gray, and 'rain soaks through
our clothing, the man who is too
blithe and gay is looked upon with
loathing. From words the sunshine
experts faunt small comfort can we
borrow; on dreary days we only
want companionship in sorrow.
There is time for everything, for
borrowing and loaning; there is a
time to dance and sing, and there's
time for groaning. 1t is a scene
of unmixed bliss when grouches get
together, and sigh and weep, and
hoot and hiss, and cuss the beastly
weather. They're having such a
bully time, before the clouds are
clearing! And it would be a ,.sordid
crime to bring message cheering.
1t is blunder, nothing less, to hand
them consolation; there is COM
fort in distress, balm in indigna-
ton. When men are sore at life
and fate, talk not the bright tomor-
row; they want to meet up with a
skate who has an equal sorrow.
Their miseries they would compare,
their scalding tears they'd mingle,
and walk the floor and rend their
hair, and make the welkin tingle.
So let them teeter to and fro, and
in their sorrow languish; there is
rapture in such woe, a solace in
such anguish. But when you see
them spring once more a smile of
latest model, confront them by the
Blue Front store, and talk your
sunshine twaddle.

CHARGES ILLEGAL USE
OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS
Doak, Senatorial Aspirant in Vir-
ginia, Declares Democrats Are
Violating Law.

Illegal use of ballots for absentee
voters by Democratic party workers
in Virginia was charged yesterday by
y. ~ Doak, Republican candidate for
the Senate in that State.
Two atfidavits were produced by
Mr.. Doak to support his charges that
these ballots We're in the hands of
various party workers and were not
being sent to voters through regis
tered mail, required by law.
r. y. Dobyns of Briston, Va, said
in one affidavit that he was solicited
by c. n. Davidson and J. o. Whit
temore of Appalachia to prepare alb
sente voters ballots. He said. in the
affidavit, that he accompanied these
men to the Democratic headquarters
in Bristol, where Davidson delivered
a ballot to him, and that he took it
after it was marked and sealed in an
envelope for the purpose of voting
in the election.
The other affidavit was signed by s.
NJ. Williams of Bristol, who said bal
lot was secured for him by Henry
Haynes of Bristol. He said after voting
he did not sign the envelope in which
he sealed the ballot, as required by law,
and that acknowledgment was not taken
of the act by notary public.
