Political Economy Club Meets Tho regular meeting of the Po litieal Economy club occurred last Wednesday. A very able address vras delivered by Prof. Caldwell on "Proportionate Representation in Government." Tho professor briefly discussed tho ancient and modern methods of voting, the growth of tho ballot system, and laws passed for purifyiug elections. Tho evils of tho existing "major- ly i'i vero then pointed out by diagrams in a Ind i lusiratcd rniander a surprise to many. Prof. Caldwell behoves that a true rep resentative government should rep resent tho views of all tho people and not of tho majority. Tno mi norities as well as tho majorities should be represented. He proved conclusively that our present system of representation did not represent the people accu rately, that a great number of vo ters ai'o either misrepresented or not represented at all. He then advocated the proportionate repre sentative system. By this sj'stem in electing, say congressmen, all districts aro abolisheuand the con gressmen elected at large. Each Sarty may nominate as many can idates as there ai-e congressmen to be elected. Every voter then votes for the required number. lie not only gives hi& iirst choice but also his second and third choice, so that if his candidate is not elected his second and third choice nury not bo thrown away but will go to some other candidate. Tho professor does not claim that this system is faultless but he thinks it is just and practical and much better than the present method. Therefore it should be given a fair trial.

Mercedes McQuinnte was the beautiful daughter of a AVolyau merchant prince. Patriquo Donald was' a student of the great university in that sub urb. Mercedes was the belle of the village. Sho had beauty. She had riches. "What more could be desired. Patriquo was the pride of his parents, lie, too, was hand some, light hearted and blithsome. His parents, on the contrary, were poor. lie had never known a sick day in his life until he met Mercedes. He was in love. So was Mercedes. It was love at first sight. ' A year passed. As boforcstatcd, Mercedes and Patriquo were in love. At this juncture in our story her father discovered their love. He immediately threatened to dis own his daughter unless she would give up Patriquo. But she re fused. Sho had the blood of old Irish kings her in veins. Give up Patriquo? Never! j) It was moonlight on the banks of Salt Creek. Ever and anon a tlcccv cloud blew across the face of tho moon.

But Mercedes recollected some thing and drew back. "Patriquo," sjio said, "1 cannot many you to-morrow!" "Why not?" gasped Patriquo. "Patriquo, I know how poor you are, but that makes no (fitl'erence to me. I could live in a sod-house with you and be happy!" "But what then can hinder our mar riagoi" "Patriquo, it is this. 1 can not bear the idea of marrying and hav ing no wedding trip; and unless you can find sonic way of taking a wedding trip 1 can not be your wife." xnv uiun w;ia u iuuluii uiiu, What should he do? He had no money, no way of raising any. lie was in despair. "Oh, Mercedes!" he cried, "take back your request! I cannot grant it. Unless you dol will throw myself over this railing into the raging torrent beneath!" But Mercedes was firm and as there was a foot of ice on tho stream Pat riquo remained on tho bridge. Suddenly a thought Hashed through his brain. "Mercedes!" ho cried, "lend mo twenty cents!" "Certainly," she said, "But what good will that do" "Mercedes, tomorrow we will take the street car from Wesloyan. Wo will be transferred to Western Normal. Wo will return and be I " I n v I s"x m r nr.in it -- s x r n - I . m .- transferred to Wesloyan again, all for twenty cents.

Tho end. L. II. R. An Improsslon. Algernon Prettyfaeoaiid Klouuor Lillyloeks had quarrelled.. It was over nothing too, as lover quarrels generally are. Eleanor had paid a little too much attention to a new student and Algernon said some thing about it, that was to say the least, impertinent, and of course Eleanor resented. And after all their vows and tender messages to one another, thoy had begun to pass each other by with a cold stare. Eleanor had sent back tho pretty little turquoise ring she had worn for a year, and she cried a little when she took it oil' too and I am not sure but that there was a suspicion of a mist in Algernon's eyes when he received it back. Hut they had both sworn that they never would make up again, although their hearts were both sore and bleeding. Each one had confided in tho nearest and dearest friend, and it was a settled fact that henceforth they were to be as nothing to one another. Alas, for human plans! Fate had something to do with this love quarrol, and this how it happened. On Christinas day the llayden Art Exhibit opened lip, in the Armory. Now these two silly lovers were both ve.y fond of art. So on Wednesday morning bright and early they both wended their way from diU'orent directions to the art gallery. Algernon had no idea that Eleanor would be there, and Eleanor was totally ignorant that Algernon was in the city. They both were soon interested in the pictures and were lost to all their surroundings. They unconsciously walked nearer to each other. Suddenly Algernon stooped down to see the number of a pic ture that was hanging quite low, when his head came in contact with another head that had bent down for the same purpose. Algernon started back and began to rub his head when ho saw that tho owner of the other head was none other than his formcrj' sweetheart El eanor.
