POWER OF ONE VOTE.
A Single Ballot Has Often Decided an
Important Ccntest.
In the Continental congress of 1775
Benjamin Harrison defeated John
Haneock by one vote for the presiding
office. But the Virginian insisted on a
new ballot and by his owun vote chose
Hancock. . R e
In 1784 the illuess of one delegate
from New Jersey kept slavery om ,of
states. admitied to the Union after
1800 and thus confined the civil war
contestants to the 'south Atlantic
states,
July 25, 1788, one vote ratified the
constitution after the famous debate
between Muadison and Henry at Rich
mond. The next day the debate be
tween Hamilton and Clinton ended
with New York Tollowing suit. In 1700
Rhode Island came in with an equally
gmall margin.
Alexander Hamilton swung one vote
to Thomas Jetferson in the electoral
college of 1500, thus breaking a dead
lock after thirty-six ballots and de
feating Aaron DBurr. This really be
gan the feud which cost Hamilton his
life on the Palisades at Weehawlken.
In 1808 Jesse Thomas by his own
vote went to congress from the In
diana district. He succeeded in mov
ing the northern houndary of Illinois
fifty miles north, thus giving it a lake
outlet. Had Illinois been nnited com
mercially with the south and her in
terests tinged with southern ideas the
election of Lincoln could never have
taken place, and the whole history of
the country would have been different.
May 26, 1868, the senate of the Unit
ed States declared against the §m
peachment of Andrew Johnson by one
vote, 35 to 19, when two-thirds were
necessary to decide.—Chicago Journal,
A MISNAMED EXHIBIT.
Brings Joy to the Museum Visitors
and Worries the Curator.
A curator at the Metropolitan Mu
seum of Art is threatened with insan
ity, the cause being a small misnamed
exhibit in the gallery outside his office
door.
“Twenty times a day,” declared the
harassed man, “people discover that
that china statuette out in the Frank-
Hin collection is named General Wash.
ington instead of Benjamin Franklin.
Then théy burst tn here and announce
their discovery and wonder that no
one ever noticed it before. IHalf my
time is spent In explaining that we
know it well, that it was simply a mis
take of the potter who labeled it in
France over a century ago and that we
cannot change it nor wouldn't if we
could.
“Of course 1 tell them this cour
teously and patiently, and you know
what a strain that is when you are
going over the same thing for the
thousandth time! I'd lateh the door,
only there are too many employees
seeking me all day long, so here I
must sit and listen to the names of
George Washington and Benjamin
Franklin repeated a million times till
I wish that neither of those glorious
patriots had ever lived. And it's driv
ing me insane, I tell you; it's driving
me insane!”
Just then the door opened and a lady
popped In with:
“There’s a statue out here named
General Washington, but I'm sure”-—
And the weary curator, being a south
erner, rose smilingly to his task.—New

At one time when Georgie Drew
Barrymore was playing in San Fran
clsco a fabulons sum was offered her
by a local theater for her services for
a few weeks, The offer was exceed-
Ingly tempting, but her contract with
Charles Frohman stood in the way.
However, on the nothing-venture-noth-
Ang-won theory, she telegraphed a de
tafled statement of the offer she had
recelved to Frohman in New York, ex-
Dlalned how anxious she was to ac
cept it and wound up with the plea,
Wil you release me?” lln due course
~of time she received the following tele
gram in answer:

between 8,00 and 12,000 tons, often

Or the vessel may be fairly intact, but

consisting in salving valuable cargo.
Often the wreck is one not submerged
at all. A ship may have run on to a
reef, where it lies, nose on a crag and
stern afloat, rising and falling on the
ocean swell, pounding, pounding and
pounding until the very ocean hottom
drones and she is gradually broken to
pleces. Or, again, the wreck may be
that of a steamer which has pointed
its nose shoreward in a fog, finding a
beach, plowing a furrow through the
yielding sand and never coming to a
hait until 1t is stuck fast all but high
and dry, a helpless victim to the next
storm that comes screeching up the
coast to plle breakers against her and
crowd her even higher upon the beach.

Failure of a Collegs Education,
“Well,” observed old wan Potts,
“I've spent a heap of money on my
hoy Bill's education, moren SOOO, jest
to see him through Yale, and I ain't
through yet. It shorely makes me
sore to think of the money I'm wast
in’ on a boy who ain't got a 9 much
sense now as he had before he went
to college.”
“What's the matter, father?” asked
Mrs. Potts. “Mebbe you're a little
hard on Bil.”*
“No, I ain't, Mary,” answered the
old man., “Just to show you, a little
while ago I says to him 1 thinks it
was going to rain tomorrow., What
fool answer, d'ye suppose he wade
me?”
“I'm sure I don’t know, father.”

It was in the hotel of a miving town
that the New England guest, register-
Ing in the office, heard a suceessfon of
loud yells. “What in the world is that—

manded,
“No,” eald the clerk as he slammed
the book and lounged toward the
stalrs, “It's the spring bed up In No,

Mistakes Commonly Made and OugJ

man is fallible, but the more common
ones may be avolded. Man out of .
doors often makes the same mistakes
common to the housewife, If the lat
ter finds a dark corner in her house
she immediately places a bright ob-
Ject there or hangs a flashy plcture on
the wall above, In the lightest places
she hangs the darkest picture or places
the dullest plece of furniture. In this
way all is made alilte, no variation,
consequently no interest. If varlety is
the splce of life we should alm to have
it in ali things, not by decorating in
bizarre fashion, but in a natural WAaY,
sßays the Los Angeles Times. Make
the dark corners darker. Gloom s ex
pected and looked for in such places,
Make the light spots brighter for the
same reason, You will then have a
contrast which gives a pleasing variety
and is at the same time harmonlous.
Many southern California towns
have park areas of much diversified
topography, and all this natural beaus
ty is too often nullified by grading or
injudicious and unnatural planting.
Canyon sides should he planted with
trees and shrubs of dark color—som
ber hued natives preferably to deepen
the gloom. Keep the whole tone dark,
and if any dark leafed plants of heavy
follage are on hand use them in these
places. On the rldges plant trees and
shrubs of bright colors—light, pleasing
shades of green—and of foliage light
and feathery in makeup. Thus do wo
heighten natural effects, accentnate
the depth of the canyons, the helght
of the hills, and enhance all of natural
beauty to bLe geen, If canyons open
to east or west, plant the shady side
with dark material and the sunny side
with bright and Hght follage. If any
trees or shrubs have yellowish foliage,
keep them in the light. Those with
purple leaves should be kept in the
dark. Afm in this way to Intensify
lights and shadows, and do not seck
to work agalnst nature. Nelther
should you plant In a haphazard fash
fon without previous study of the sit
uation, This wunstudied, methodiess
manner of planting is largely responsi
ble for the lack of beauty and Interest

The crowd around the postofize
stove, after exhausting the possibill
ties of politics, local and national, had
been discussing the alleged lack of the
truth telling instinct in Old Man Simp
kins. Uncle Ezra came In, and Jim
Peters said:
“What do you think about it, Uncle
Ezra—would you call Old Man Simp
king a Har?”’
“Well,” answered Uncle Ezra slowly
as he thoughtfully studied the ceillng,
“1 wouldn’t go so fur as to call the
old man a lar, but I do know it to be
a fact that when feedin’ time comes
to get any response he has to 3970
