And then--this was his first vote-would he actually want to sell his vote? His right as an American citizen? Did he want to cast his vote for an inferior candidate? And what would Bess think of him? She waspquite a little politician, herself. I . I Perhaps for an instant the scales balanced- No, Mr. Nelson, I cannot accept your offer. Good 'eveningf' I He walked out of the office in a dream. He had worked so hard for that little home and now when he might have it, he cast it from him. He knew he had done the wisest thing. For a long time after John had left, Eli Nelson sat staring out of the window at the sun, slipping below the horizon-a glowing ball. At length he arose and addressing the empty room, There is a man. tWouldn't the world be benefited if there were more like him ? The next morning as Nelson was opening his mail he came across a short note signed, Respectfully, john Armstrong. It was his resignation, to take effect immediately. Nelson smiled as he read it and then tossed it into the waste basket. He wrote an acceptance of the resignation as foreman and at the same time an offer of the junior partnership of the firm. He added in a post-script, You have had your trial and I guess you are the man for the place, and it is yours if you will accept it. He also said that he, too, believed in voting for the man and he did think Mack was the best man. M. A.

O RCH ESTRA Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music crep in our ears. -Merchant of Venice. The Table Grove High School Orchestra is the result of a surprising growth. Earlylast year four timid players met for practice. After due persuasion they appeared in public and later upon small provocation droned out wailing strains at every High School program. The music, always executed with enthusiasm, if not with artistic taste, was inspiring at least, and soon there were .seven blowers of brass and tinklers of cymbals. i Thus strengthened, the orchestra furnished very creditable music for the annual declamation contests and the Commencement exercises. It also filled one professional engagement at Industry, Ill. The present organization has fourteen members, well equipped with standard instruments.
