May Vote by Electricity

Certain California Legislators who
are tired Of endless, dronlng roll-call
votes on various questions In the state
legislature have proposed that the old
drOning system be replaced by an
electrical voting apparatus. Ii this
is done each seat In the state senate
and the house will be equipped with
set OF voting buttons connected by
wire to a flasher board. When roll
call is ordered, 1t can be recorded on
the board In about one second with
out the usual halliday Of monotonous
vocalistics conducted by the clerk and
the members. It is estimated that at
least two weeks can be trimmed from
the length Of each legislative session
with consequent great saving to the
state and Its Legislators.

ing instead Of at the close Of per-
formances. The soldiers say that the
exit scramble interferes with the
proper observance Of the singing.
while managers claim that late com.

as the opening number. Managers
also point out that there seldom is any
sign of Indifference, and that few 9th

national anthems at every perform

SALE BRINGS BACK
LEGENDS OF YOUTH
Romance Inseparable From
Robin Hood Country.

Eleven thousand acres of Robin
Hood country In and around the vii
lage Of Hathersage, In the heart Of
the Derbyshire peak district, have
been sold by the duke of Rutland.
Hathersage was the birthplace and
burial place of one John Nailor, known
to all lovers of English ballads as
Little John, the giant henchman Of
Robin Hood, finest Of all archers and
gentlest of all robbers.
Little Johns birthplace and his
grave are still pointed out in Hather-
sage, but his green cap and his bow,
which used to be suspended by chains
in the village church, have long since
disappeared. The cottage in which he
Is said to have been born, and to
which he returned to die, is obviously
of great antiquity. 1t is low,
matched building overgrown with Ivy
and heavily screened by great old
trees, and stands few yards distant
from the church.
II used to be tenanted 20 or 80
years ago by a widow Of almost equal
antiquity, whose belief in the Little
John story was both voluble and I'm
plicit. She said she remembered the
opening Of his grave In the church
yard and digging up Of thigh bone,
which measured 80 inches In length.
The grave is almost opposite the porch
on the south side of the church and
is marked by headstones and foot
stones placed 10 feet apart. The Wild
ow also said she distinctly remem-
bered having seen Little Johns green
cap hanging in the church. Its pres
ent whereabouts are unknown, but the
bow is known to have hung for more
than a century In Canon hail. near
Barnsley, and may still be hanging
there.
The Little John story belongs to the
realm Of English legend rather than to
history, but this In no wise detracts
from the high Importance of Hather-
sage village. The peak district of
Derbyshire is kind of English Yel-
lowstone; a green and virgin tumble
of hot springs and stalactitic caverns
wild tract of crag and torrent iso-
lated In the smoky mldlands, with the
cotton mills of Manchester on one
side and the steel mills of Sheffield on
the other. Sufficient history attaches
to It to satisfy the hungriest seeker
after fact, but old lore In far greater
abundance thrusts up like prlmroses
everywhere In Its mountains, Its
ruined castles and Its hidden villages
In fact the sale Of 1000 acres of the
duke Of Rutlands estates in the peak
district might easily be described al
the sale Of 1000 acres of legends

Washington Mourns for
Old LAFAYETTE Square

That part of the city of Washing
ton having pride ln Its traditions is
troubled about what is happening to
historic Lafayette square. These green
acres to the north OF the White House
are dominated by i've more or less
imposing statues. Lafayette aud Roch-
ambeau, the Frenchmen: koscluskO,
the Pole. and Won Steuben. the Prus-
sian. stand there In the heart of Wash
ington. In the center rides Andrew
Jackson ON his rearing. tearing
charger.
II Is haunted square, where old
ghosts walk. Dolly Madison lived
there. Henry Clay sauntered there.
The Blairs, the Lees, the Rodgers and
the Decaturs and many another name
familiar to Americans are identified In
one way or another with the place.
Every old house still standing has or
deserves commemorative tablet.
The square is about to be surround
ed by tall buildings, steel-skel
and tleshed with stone or concrete, ex-
cept upon the south, where 1t faces on
the White House. The east side Is
being transformed, and likewise the
north. A theater stands on the ground
that Henry Clay traded to Commander
Rodgers. The new chamber of com
merce and the veterans bureau have
wiped away some Of the older houses.
On the southeast corner rises the
treasury annex. SO far the west side
of the green quadrangle has changed
only little, but the shadow of change
Is over It,
There was time when the square
might have been preserved as memo
rial to Yesterday. This Is no longer
possible. Washington Is growing, nov
Ing and marching out that way. In
few years historic Lafayette square
will be dominated either by great com
merclal or official buildings. Wash
ngton is about to lose something that
cannot be replaced, but there IL no
help for it,-WashingtOn Post

He Ate the Side Dish

Not many weeks ago a Franklin boy
who was taken on holiday trip to
Texas was asked to make speech
before his room at school, which is
SB. The boy was recounting all the
features Of the trip. and as he had
never been outside the United States
before he told in detail Of his expe-
riences In Matamoros. Just across the
border In old Mexico.
Being stickler for facts. perhaps
due to his ambitions to be newspa-
per editor. he told the pupils that his
father and mother drank glass Of
'tequila,' but that he didn't drink any.

Sensation for Londoners

London this winter had an Ice
skating rink. Hitherto II one wanted
to skate one had to 90 all the way to
Manchester. Rare indeed is the Eng
lish winter that permits skating upon
natural ice, so this new pleasure
was a great novelty, and such a sen
sation did its opening produce that,
It is reported. one Of the entrance
doors was burst open by the throng
waiting to get In. The Englishman is
nothing II not optlmistic-with keen
sense Of irony for seasoning, as some
one once pointed out. Londoners
would like very much to be able to
60 skating on the Thames, but since
that is not possible. they fiocked to
their rink and had a jolly time.-New

She never would love him.
In the silence that fell between

and a hundred flashing, uncom-
pleted thoughts on hers, she could
hear movements overhead, and knew
that her mother was pacing the
floor of her room, anxious, terrified
waiting for the outcome of the inter-
view.
She put down her cup, and, as if
he had been awaiting this signal,
Furness came over and sat down
beside her.

He put his arm around her. 'Tll

that. when she closed her eyes. it
was to see James Cox huddled in

gazing out with dull. bewildered eyes
at world which had suddenly
turned unfriendly? And to see Aunt
Margaret, too. her hand on James
shoulder, ugly and militant, challeng-
