Notes.

Local political minded people are curiously awaiting what Mondays election will bring forth. not that they do not anticipate what is con- sidercd a foregone conclusion, but they wish the complete returns to satisfy curious appetite. The demo- crats hope that they may gain over last year and the republicans wish for an overwhelming vote.
 There is no issue at stake and there are no outstanding party lead CTS who are fearful lest they be for gotten in the elections. There is possibility of little excitement in the choice of a tax collector 1t is known that the democratic strong hold, Kcnsington, holds strong sup portcrs of Harry Mckeon, the dem ocratic nominee for the position, he having been unanimously nominated by the caucus of that party last month. On the other hand Charles r. Lewis, the C.. o. r. candidate, though he is expected to sweep the polls in an almost habitual manner made perfect by some l4 years of demonstration, may not find the slcdding as smooth as forecast. If party affiliations arc not overly strong, it would not be surprising to sec many former Lewis supporters 20 over 10 the other side. It will be remembered that at the republican caucus his opponent for nomination, Myron Goodrich, received many moro votes than it was thought he would obtain. NTr. Lewis beat the latter by something less than loo votes. Mir. Goodrich had many hackers. and it remains 10 be seen whether they were an indication Of adverse sentiment i0 tn" party ranks, or whether Mir. Goodrich was extremely popular,

Peter led the way and little Mrs Peter

house in the middle of the dear Old
Briar-patch was simply hole in the
ground. 1t had once been the home OF
JOHNNY Chuck's grandfather. Peter and
Mrs. Peter had used it now and then
ever since they had been living in the
dear Old Briar-patch: 1t was some time
now since they had used it and the
mouth of it was pretty well filled with

piled. Peter soon dug the snow and
leaves out, and in they went.
They shook the snow out OF their
coats. In there it was dry and warm
For a while they sat close up to the

they cannot get past me without waking

was very tirnid Il don't think you need

any it will be after the storm, and not
during it. l cannot think Of any one
who would even try to get into the dear
Old Briar-patch excepting Shadow the
Weasel, and Shadow won't be out this
weather. He is one who knows when
he is we'll off. He probably IS curled
up snug and warm somewhere, and
there he'll stay So there really isn't
anything to be afraid of. But I like
company. Peter. You know you have
been away so much that have been
alone a great deal. So, if you don't
mind. I'm going to take my nap right
here beside you"
Peter didn't mind at all. and he said
so. In fact. it rather pleased him to
have little Mrs Peter right there. SO

to the bowling of the storm, then their
