I will vote at every public election,
trying first to inform myself on the
candidates and the questions to bo
voted upon.
T will obey the laws as they are
written; it may be as offensive to my

booze or exceed the speed laws, as
it is to me for him to rob or burn or
violate my home. '
I will work at my job as though 1
believed in it.
I will try to make my street the best
in town.
I will observe the Golden Rule, and
do unto others as I would be done
by.

Engraving Process
If an engraved surface be covered
with ink or wet colored paper or the
like pressed upon it it will take the
impression of the parts remaining un
touched, while the hollowed out (en
graved) parts will not print off. This
is called relief engraving, and its most
important variety is wood engraving;
If the ink or color be forced into the
hollowed parts, while the smooth part
is wiped clean, the paper, usually wet,
will draw from the engraved line and
spaces the ink which they have con
tained while the rest of the paper is
left white. This process is properly
called line engraving; if the linos are
eaten into the plate by means of an
acid the process is called etching; if
the surface is merely roughened with
out Incision of lines it is called mezzo
tint.
“Third-Degree” Methods
There is no la>v preventing the ad
ministration t>f the "third-degree” to
women. In cities where this system
is prevalent it is applied to men and
women equally. It is not possible to
say definitely when the custom origi
nated. Various forms of torture for
the purpose of extracting confessions
have been employed from very early
times in history. In America, after
the Revolutionary war, a number of
criminals and suspects were subjected
to various kinds of inquisition. The
practice has continued in this country.

street, In Queen’s Head alley, at a
Frenchman’s house, Is an excellent
West India drink -called chocolate to
he sold, where you may have it ready
at any time, and also unmade, at rea
sonable rates."
