THE OLD "UNFINISHED CHAM
, BER.
The old "unfinished chamber!"
I shut my eyes and See
The massive, smoke-browned rafters.
Each hewn from some huge tree;
No mediaval castle
E'er boasted ribs more stQjit; ;
No wildest wind of Winter
'Could shake them with its 'rout.
And yet they condescended
To yield ungrudged support
To traces trim of popcorn
For Winter evening's sport;
To festooned wealth ot apple.
And wrirrkled rings galore
Of pie-prophetk pumpkin.
And grandma's treasured store
Ot" peppermint and spearmint,
lSkull-cap and sage and dill.
Wormwood and balm and catnip
Sure cfre for every ill.
Small need had we of doctors!
At slightest hint of pain
Came grandma with ,her herb-drink
-And we were well again.
I see the huge old chimney.
Sp with the-wood fires roared,
every side surrounded
y our childish hoard
Oi hazelnuts andl beechnuts.
Gathered in goldert days.
While saucy chipmunks scolded.
And all the woodland ways
Were gay in gold and scarlet.
And alt the air was sweet
With breath of glorious Autumn.
Whose wealth was at our feet.
I see the small-paned windows
That, in a Winters" night.
Would win to wondrous beauty
Of tracery azure-white.
Scenes of the sunny Scotland.
With towering tropic trees.
Pictures 01 polar regions
.And iceberg-haunted seas
All that! we read and dreamed of.
That travellers'! talcs rehearse.
We saw i our still corner
Of the great universe.
Then when the days grew longer
And weak the -Winter's chain.
From some dim. dreaming cranny
Out on the sunny panes
Big. sleepy flies crept staidly, ;
Wiih dazed, bewildered mien.
As though they scarce remembered
The once-familiar scene:
But when, by sunshine wakened, ,
They !raiscd their cheery hum.
We knew that they were telling
"For , true" that Spring has come.
Ah. dreamy, blissinl memories
Of dear, dim rainy days!
We could not "go a-fishing.'
And all out outdoor play
Were set aide. What cared j we?
We knew the latchstring stout
Ot the old "unfinished chamber"
Was always hanging out.
What froiics 'neath the rafters!
What masquerading fine
In garments worn and faded
Fashioned in "auld tang ne!"
What happy-hearted laughter,
What songs untouched by pain.
Blent with obi igato ?
Unceasing of the-rain!
Dear old unfinished chamber! ;
No palace fairer seems j
None to my heart is nearer
In all the land of dreams.

A Vast Amount of Work Ierformel by Ilia
County Clerk la RrKlHtrrlnc Marlon
County' Cltlrnf.
The registration of the voters in
Marion county, under the act of i&f
requiring all voters to register before
1eing entitled to cast a ballot for state
and county officers, develops the fact
that Marion county has' at this time a
greater number oi people entitled to
vcte at the June election, than were
votes cast in the county in June, 1H08.
when a very full vote was secured. The
totals by precincts, as sjiown by the
county clerk'sTrtgistratipn books, at the
close of registration on Tuesday even
ing, aggregate 6461 voters. From this
total will be subtracted; the number oi
cancellations, caused; by -voters remov
ing from their precincts, either out oi
the county or into other precincts, nec
essitating new registration in their new
locations, and the cancellations in the
precincts in which they first registered.
These cancellations aggregate ninety
two which, taken off the total of &401
voters registered, leaves" the net regis
tration at 6.VV)- It is possible that, al-tlMUR-h
the date of registration is closed,
more names may be added, in cases
where notaries public and justices ot the
peace in the rural districts, have sent
in their Jast few elays' registrations
by mail, and which shipments bad not
been received by the county clerk up to
the close of business hours last evening.
These, of course, would be entitled to
registration, and wilf be- placed, upon the
clerk's books wdien received, provided
they were properly listcjl by the coun
try magistrates within the time limit
prescribed -by law. - !
The duty of registering the (V400 voters
has been - an arduous one for Countv
Clerk. W.-W. Hall, entailing, as it did.
a vast amount of extra work upon that
department, clerical aid: being engaged
for only a fraction of the time during
which the fnoks were, open. A, vast
amount of correspondence was neces
sitated, the questions asked by voters,
notaries public and justices of the peace
throughout the county, being numerous
and varied.: Some day, the office was
crowded from morningi; till night with
voters anxious to register, and on. other
days none appeared. A great deal ed
additional work wa also performed in
the issuance of citizenship papersi to
voters who had. for years, exercise 1
thftr right of frandiisc. but had1 no
proof of their citizenship. There were
several hundred ot these, and an W.no
were entitled to" the "papers" were sup
plied w ith them before ; being listed as
