Geographical Puzzles.
Tbere are lots of puzzles In geog
raphy," said the geographer.
"Why. for Instance, has the northern i
fart of most countries pot a reputa
tion for being harder headed and more
businesslike than the south? The
Scotsman and the Yorksbiremnn we
know. Trance bns their counterpart In
the Norman, who 1 distinguished for
his phlegm, hi energy and his Imsi
ncss qualities, and rather pities Ci
la.ier aud more hot headed Mouth
Similarly the Prussian is the Scuts
man of Germany. Northern Italy is'ii

sou under the. title for each office. As
each delegate and each .presidential
ficioi' una au u-ii-"'. w..w ,
must follow that there are as many in
dependent offices of delegate and elec
tor as there are Incumbents, and that
each qualified elector of his party who
l8 registered as required by law has
a constitutional right to vote for an
incumbent to eadh of these offices In
his party. But the primary election
law as It now stands deprives, him of
this constitutional right and limits his
right to vote for one delegate only and
one presidential elector only. If there
are .10 delegates of his party to elect
to the national convention of his party
he is disfranchised by this Jaw and Is
deprived of voting for nine of them
If there are five candidates for presl:
dentlal electors to be nominated by
hia party, he I8 disfranchised anfl de
prived of any voice in Baying who
four of those electoral candidates
shall be! Delegates to the national
conventions and presidential lectors,
elected and nominated under this law
will not represent the wishes or de
sires of the electori of the state. The
la is vicious and unconstitutional
and should be so declared by the
courts before the date of our next pr!
mary election."
Hansons for Pride.
f There wax present at a certain big
dinner in England ..many 'years ago an
American woman of prominence who
was somewhat annoyed by a tactless
Englishwoman who. undertook to ban
ter her and who said: .
"I take it for granted that you have
no coats of arms in your new coun
try .:'"', '.
Of course no American family could
have one unless it was borrowed from
English ancestry," replied the former
American. ; ,
"For instance, has your family any
especial cause for pride over your
grandfather?" persisted this particu
larly tactless female cad.
Then the American woman opened
up and replied as calmly as possible
nnder the circumstances, "Not much
perhaps, only that my grandfather on
my mother's side received Burgoyne's
word -when he surrendered at Sara
toga and my grandfather on my fa
ther's side received the sword of Corn
wallls at Yorktown." '
