Il Is the unfortunate fellows who don't live within the Inspiring radius of our municipality and have no ue for plug InUB that miy contemplate the regltttratlon mill with fear And trembllnir, not unmixed with becom ing quantities of deep-sea dlakct.

And he can't be much blamed, for be Is ImmiMlately confronted with a document like this,' which he must decorate with his slg- natur9 thrHS tlnu. brtnpng ahxng two his next door neighbors to prove lhat no lfI (rt a gc(n f Euro. pean nobility living Incognito: "I. the undersigned elector, lo sol- mnly BWear (or HIll.m) tlult my nunw and stgnnture as signed below is my true name and signature.

Thla Important document is then forwarded to h county clerk by the Issuing ofllcer, who receives the mu nlllcent sum of ten cents for his part of the Job Istor on. That Is, he dos If the man casta his vote; otherwise he receives nix cumerouse. All In all, the new law Is raising a dickens of a rumpus. There are scores of them who. In the past, have boon going along year nttar year, casting ballots for president, govern or, congressmen and what-not, who, In fact, have not the right to a vote In the selection of a poundmaster. And the whlchncss of tho thuncs Is Just coming to the surface. Men of foreign birth who (have never been naturalised or who have labored un der the mistaken Idea that their sires had done so before them, have en Joyed unmolested the privilege of tho ballot box along with Governor Gear and Ilarvy Scott, but, alax! no more. As a result of tho present law It Is estimated that fully one-third of those who have voted In the past will stand around with their handa In their pockets on next election day. Some funny Incidents wlU no doubt develop out of the new regulations In coming years. Dame Fortune sometimes doe some high kicking within . a year or so, and cuts some awkward capers with the career of man. For Illustration, lot us take the Imaginary case of Mr. Johndorf Wal cob Astorbilt, a distinguished finan cier. He Is entered upon the regis tration books in the regular manner To keep the skin clean is to wash the excretions from it off; the skin talcs care of itself inside, if not blocked outside. To wash it often and clean, without doin any sort of violence to it, re quires a most gentle soap, a soap with no "free al kali in it. Pears', the soap that clears but not excoriates. All sort of stores sell it, especially dnij;gipt; all sorts of people um it i with occupation glvfn an a "capital. bt." Laba on. aftw the eltlon, whi-n the popk' have forg4ten i.iost , of the candldat'-a, and the candlilatca ; Owlr pledgea, Dame Fortune fctrlkfii up a flirtation with Mr. Axtorbllt and ; auccwdti In wtldng him to the gol- A"f ehorni of Alaska, whfre, aft;r "blowing " hlmtMrlf ' on worthleaa rlolma, the fickle charmor uerta him for another. Like many frtherg iM-fortt him, the ?x-capltallt nuaggles hontfwurd and, plying hla pille In cold ntorage, "tacklea" the flrtrt. thing n mht ll "viinooa. raw i. ,' n"t him. and In die course of a yt-ar or ao, "Airty" haa tumbled through th gnAm until he rounds up aa head chambermaid In a trans- dent livery stable. But hla vote re mains as big as ever and whim he wanr.es up to tne oanoi ooz ana is i ... . recogmzea oy tne ciorK mia me ciai tor of top boots and fragrance of barn-yard aroiru, reads from his scroll: "Johiidorf Walcob AatorWlt, 1 caintallst," et cetera. I S But It is a pc or rule that doesn't j work both ways, and In thla the regis ' tration law knows no exceptions. The lowly and benign fellow who once i kept the dust from Astorbllt's safe- door may have heard the rustle of Dame Fortune's skirts, himself. In the same given period of time, but with better pay tat the "chasing." It Is r. H. O'Brytn, capitalist and mine operator, who goes out for a plck-axe when the clerk drawl out "PaUy Hooligan O'Bryen, Janitor." But, as has been said before, the new law Is the best we've got, and we must put up with It. or Kt the other fellow make the officers. Come Just to See. Extra Premiums Given Free.
