A by David Cory

As the little rabbit hoped over to
look at the yellow blossoms of the
Witch-hazel. Professor Jim Crow
shouted,
Look out, look out, you may be shotl
Two bullet seeds in each shell pot
May suddenly pop as If from a rife.
With a Witch-hazel pod you'd better
not trifie."
"Whatp' cried the astonished little
rabbit.
Il mean just what say" went on
the wise Professor Bird "If you go
too close you may be hit in the eye.
This bush Is ready to let fly at any
moment"
Dear, Oh dear, I must be careful"
said the obedient little bunny
Yes, the ripe seed-pods Of last
years flowers contain long, hard,
black seeds. After a pod has been
split open by the frost, it dries and
often contracts so suddenly as to
shoot out it's two seed bullets to a
distance of 40 feet"
But, Oh dear me. Just as the wise
old crow finished talking. who should
come along but Danny Fox Oh dear.
and Oh dear! Isn't it too bad and
three worse that our little rabbit
should have such a thing happen, Lit
tie Reader?
Look out! Look out" shouted Pro-
fessor Crow.
y ''EIa, hal" snarled the old fox. Now
I've got you, little rabbit" and he
opened the big gunny sack he carried
over his shoulder. Yes, now I've got
you as sure as bills on the first of the
month"
Carefully stepping backwards, the
poor little rabbit crouched low be-
side the Witch-hazel bush. Closer and
closer crept the wicked old fox, a grin
on his face and dreadful look in his
eyes.
Mother will never again see her
darling boy" thought the poor, fright
ened little boy bunny.
Help, help" shouted Professor Jim
Crow FROM the treetop.
Just then something happened. May
be the Witch-hazel bush took pity on
the poor little rabbit Who knows !?
At any rate, the next minute out of a
pod popped two hard seed bullets hit
ting the old fox right in the eyes.

cUMMINGs.JEWETT CASE

While we may experience some
difficulty, from reading the reports
concerning the hearing before the
Governor and Council in the Cum
mings-Jewett case, to, determine in
our own minds just how all the dis
crepancies occuHed, do we not get
the impression that these were mis-
takes instead of attempts to corrupt
the ballot; that ward officers work
under difficulties but too often some
what inefficiently; that the plain re-
quirements respecting polling booths
are disregarded without the slight
est excuse for so doing?
Is 1t not clear that public opinion
should demand more intelligent, cir
cu1nspect observance Of the regu-
lations designed to protect the in
tegrity Of the ballot?
1t is apparent that the ward Of
hcials concerned, though of opposing
political faith. regard their associ-
ates as honest men and women and
in this case it does not appear such
faith was unfounded. If there has
been ballot box stufIing In this last
election In Kennebec County, and
we do not for an instant believe
there was. 1t certainly has not been
proved. Indeed we understand the
Governor and Council assumed only
TO ascertain the humber of ballots
in the boxes when the polls were
closed.
What has been clearly demonstrate
ed IS a negligence respecting some
of the requirements that is inexcus-
able. The polling booths should
comply with the law, which is plain.
Just because failure to do so may
not invalidate the ballot Is no good
reason for disregarding the law or
for ignorance of the requirements.
Though this may not be penalized by
the courts the practice should be
condemned by good sense.
Evidently there are IN the State
many polling booths, which do not
comply with the law. Probably in
most instances these booths do not
interfere with the result of the vote
but there should be insistence on
proper observance of the law, what
ever that may be. 1t may be found
practicable SO to change the law as
TO permit the use of certain of these
booths which do not comply with
the present regulations Such a
change, however, would be of no ad-
vantage If this disregard Of require
ments Is to- be persisted in.

1t now must be admitted that
when Thomas Mott Osborne poured
forth his zeal for prison reform
there was need of reform. One
doesn't have to accept all of Os-
borne's conclusions to recognize the
fact that he contributed very ma.
terially to a work that needed to be
done. He sought discipline for the
prisoner through encouragement OF
the prisoner to govern himself. In
sofar as prisoners have by these
means been induced to recognize
their responsibility to society, to
comprehend the requirements. Of
growth in character, Osborne's work
has not been in vain, though he
must have experienced keen disap-
pointment over the results of some of
his efforts.

mock River from where George
Washington spent his boyhood.

Those of US privileged to have
recollection of happy youthful hours
passed in companionship with the
Justly celebrated writer's of The
Youths Companion recall that there
was found instructive reading SO in
teresting, with such a genuine ap-
peal, that once absorbed by it youth
unconsciously forms a taste for good
reading. Now good reading is not
productive Of bad influences, where
as bad reading is not productive of
good influences. The habit of pre-
ferring the good is an excellent one
to form. The Youths Companion
helps to do that very thing. This
splendid publication Is hundred
years young; we wish it continued
success and more power to the ell
bows which go to the making of it.
