The complete vote is missing in the i
Ross-Carney contest as three coun- I
ties, Beaver, Roger .Mills and Texas, !

about 100 votes but it is difficult to
forecast the outcome in those not

uncertain. Cornell is regarded as out |

In the Meantime.
There had been a row at recess
I time, and Miss Martin had called in
' all of the pupils, and had a sort of
| a school court, which lasted until time
for school to be dismissed. The trou-
I ble had started with some of the older
I boys in a misunderstanding over a
game. After hearing both sides of
the question, she decided proper pun-
] ishment for the combatants, and told
I them to remain In their seats after
[ the others had gone home. She re-
membered something she wanted to
j say to a little boy who did not take
i part in the affray, so she turned to
j him and said:
| "Now, in the meantime, Guy—”
"I wasn’t in it, Miss Martin,” Guy
interrupted hastily.
“Wasn’t in what?” asked Miss Mar-
tin.
"Why, in the mean time,” said the
eight-year-old. — Macks National

Hot Weather Drink.
Philip Hale, one of Boston's latter-
day philosophers, recommends barley
water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather than "Ice-cold” blends of wa-
| ters, sirups, acids gulped at the mar-
j ble fountains. Mr. Hale's recipe for
his favorite tipple is as follows:
"For three pints of water you will
require a teacupful and a half of well
washed pearl barley, four lumps of
sugar and the thin rind and jqice of
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
it. cover with a saucer and let it stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into a jug.”
A buttermilk fan adds:
"Then set tjie jug iu a cool place
and forget it."
Serious-Minded Quaker Saw Nothing
to Smile at in the Lighter Poems
of Whittier.
The late Gertrude Whittier Cart-
land, cousin of Whittier, the Quaker
poet, presented an ideal picture of
the saintly aged Quakeress. Her
sweet, serene face, framed In .Its tight
little bonnet, seined to shine with
clear, spiritual radiance; to hear her
recite, In a voice of tranquil music,
the hymns and graver poems of her
famous relative was always delight-
ful.
But she did not have her cousin’s
likely sense of humor; and it was
hard to tell whether this lack lessen-
ed or Increased the effect, when in
exactly the same grave, even tones,
she occasionally read aloud some of
the verse that he wrote, not for pub-
lication, but for the pleasure of hiB
Intimate circle. That was always
light, frequently gay, sometimes fair-
ly rollicking.
Her admiration for the writer made
her try very hard to appreciate his
fun; and she thought she did so; yet
mirth seemed always as alien to her
tongue as a red rosette pinned upon
her dove-gray shoulder-shawl would
have been to her costume. This in-
congruity was felt, doubtless, by an-
other Friend, of even more serious
mind than she, who once said to her
reprovingly:
"The verses are harmless, and 1
perceive they are intended to be
diverting; but they do not divert tnc,
Gertrude, and I do not think they
really divert thee. Be honest with
byself; if thee read them and did not
know thy cousin Greenleaf wrote
them, would thee not consider them
extremely silly? Thee knows I mean
no affront, and greatly admire the
cousin Greenleaf. Surely he Is a
great poet; but a great poet may some-
times write such silly stuff. And sure-
ly this time thy sousin hath done it.
Reflect and thee will agree with me.”

Mirrors Installed on Streets of English
Towns Have Proved of Material

Mirrors at street corners to provide
for the drivers of vehicles a view of
the cross streets have been installed
in at least two towns in England, in
Folkestone there Is an acute angle
street crossing where one corner is
built up close to the curb. On this
corner is placed a 24x24 inch mirror
supported on gas pipe standards at
such an angle that drivers of vehicles
coming toward the built-up corner
from either of the two opposite streets
can see up the streets at right an-
gles to their path.

That One Thing Lacking.
Lady AuguBta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement, is fond of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
“It was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having a
church wedding. It wbb a grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming j
tie. Bridget shone attractively in |
many colors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out Into the street, where a
great crowd greeted them 'with delight.
“Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, in a loud
whisper, 'Och, Pat, If we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch-
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have
been hivin’."

What He Bought.
A Syracuse business man living In
one of the suburbs decided to give
up his spacious back yard to the rais-

information he could acquire on the
subject of the currant Industry he
went down town one Saturday after-
noon recently and returned with his
arms full of books.
"Well, Teddy," inquired his enthusi-
astic spouse, as he dumped the vol-

In getting what you wanted?”
"Sure, I did!” he replied, proudly,

volunteer agents, Including depart-
ment, drug and other kinds of stores,
motion pictures, theaters, Individuals,
and others, will be engaged in the
work. Before the sale is completed,
it is expected that at least 100,000.000

A New York woman has inaugurat-

to a number of dressmakers that she
had so many dresses to make, of such

terations to be made and asked for
bids. She will probably accept the
lowest bid, and this seems to open up
a new field in dressmaking. It will
also develop a new variety of shrewd-
ness on the part of successful dress-
makers—the ability to figure on bids.
