Wo 1 vo had some crooked work in tho late election in Marion county, but it must ' 3 confessed that it is noth ing compared with the work ot tho Quay machine in Philadelphia. Tho Record calls attention to the evidence of it in tha total ypto of the Third and Fifth wards of that city as com pared with 1900, when a very full vote was cast. The presidential contest and the rough-and-tumble light for congress between McAleer, democrat, and Burk, republican, brought out a full vote. Whn tho count was Com pleted the poll stood as follows: McKin loy. Bryan. 3rd ward.. 1738 948 6th ward..lOG7 817 Mc Burk. Aleer 1G50 1023 1560 1288 S 3705 17G5 3120 2311 Tho total voto cast for McKinley and Bryan was 5,470; the total voto cast for Burk and McAleer was 5521. - Nothing was left undone to bring out evory votor. Contrast the above showing with the vote cast on Tuesday last for Pen ny packer and Pattison: 1902 Pennypacker. Pattison. NTh1rd ward 3G50. 323 Fifth ward 517G 351 8826 674 This shows that the aggregate vote for governor was 9,R00 or 4.030 votes in excess of the presidential vote of 1900 and 3,979 in excess of the vote for congressional candidates in one of the hottest contests ever made in Philadel phia, The Third and Fifth are finished war'T in which the population is fall ing off rather than growing.

Indianapolis Sentinel. Picking up Money. The new superintendent of a shoe factory took some coins from his pock et and threw them over behind the barrels, and then called tho man who was supposed to take care of tho storeroom. "What followed is relatel by the Youth's Companion. "Tom," the superintendent said, "It you find any money lying around here, bring it to the omce." - "You lost some money, "Yes, I dropped 'part of quite afot on tho floor. better have a After sir?" it There's Guess you'd hunt for It." while tho laborer came a little into the office and smilingly handed over several quarters and dimes. ' "Is that all you found, Tom?" asked the superintendent "That isn't half of It. You'll have to move the barrels again and sweep the floor. By the ay," ho added, "pick up all the heels and counters you find, put them in a box and fetch them to me." Half an hour later the man who had MODERN ELOQUENCE Ex-Speaker THOMAS B.

He shook his head in token of failure as he set the hox down; but the superintendent, glancing at tho box, did not wait for him to speak. "I thought you'd find Ave dollars more if you looked a little closer," the superintendent said. "But I didn't, sirN.the man declared, in a tone of surprise. "I didn't find another cent" "What do you call these in the box? Here are five dollars' worth of heeli and counters. If they are taken care of the firm Is just five dollars better off than it would be if they were kicked around until they warppd and rolled and got shoveled into the fur nace. One of the things you and I are here for is to keep money off the floor by looking after such matters." When tools rust and materials go to waste, when slovenliness and lack of system lead to the destruction of use ful things, it means that money bas been left "lying around." Any spend thrift who dropped a bank note or a coin would hasten to pick tt up, but sensible people carry their precau tions further. They look after "mon ey's worth" as well as money. Concerning Profanity. Header! Jesus was the best friend our poor old humanity ever had. He lived for but one purpose to make us better and happier, and at last He died a martyr to tho truth which, our. of His love for us, He could not desert -r.ad how ungrateful It Is to ' tako that noble man's name upon your lips and blow it around as you do the froth from your beer! That name Is worthy of a more re spectful treatment at your hands. You should be ashamed to use It as you do! But quite apart from all this the fact remains that words are the symbols of our thoughts, hopes and noblest ideals, and to lightly treat the sym bols of Jhese thoughts, hopes and Ideals is To lightly treat, Und eventual ly to despise, our better selves. Profanity of speech leads logically to profanity of thought and desire, and tho man that has no reverence for the symbol Is In danger of losing his reverence for the thing of which the symbol Is the reflection. It Is as sure as anything can be In this world that the young boys grow ing up today with the habit of pro fane swearing fixed upon them will not have as much faith In themselves end in the world, as much hope for the future or as much beauty in the pres ent, as their forefathers had, who were taught to hold the high names In rev erence and to speak of their high hopes In a low voice and with bowed head. We pannot afford to lose our rever ence. Between our skyscrapers and our sky-reaching aspirations the lat ter are ot far th- more value. We could get along first rate with out skyscrapers in. fact, for a long time we did get along without them very nicely but without the great thoughts and hopes we are at best but a lot of greedy, savage dogs fighting over the poor little bone of this little tfnimal existence. "Tho words of our mouth" as well as tho "meditations of our hearts" should always be such as to be accept able to the best company. And by the best company is meant not the bepowdered, bejeweled favor ites of fortune known as "society," but the company of clean-hearted, clean minded men and women that consti tute the real aristocracy of God.
