This' act of "treachery," as he characterized it, embittered Hill, and -he and Croker del registrars, indicating a state of indifference and apathy thatjs not indicative of keen interest in the questions to be settled at the election. While it has been the experience since the personal registration law was enacted that good many voters too many, by far could not be urged to quality by any amount of urging, jnis year-it-seems that the indifference is more widespread than heretofore. This' attitude is entirely inconsistent with the gravity ot the issues at stake and the importance of the offices that are to be filled.
It is the duty, as it should be the pleasure, of every citizen of Altoona who has the interest of his city, county and sate at heart to qualify for voting, to the end that he may have his proper share in the conduct of the government. We cannot imagine any reason why any person should neglect this very simple formality, when it means so much to him and others. Those who register now will be entitled to vfote at the primary election next candidates for very important offices are to be chosen, including a judge of our courts, a full complement of city officers and several county offices.

RICHARD BUHLER As' the Hero of Wallace's Stirring Drama SEATS ON SALE TO-MORROW THE LATEST FAD FROM PARIS. Busy people sometimes find it hard to understand the activities of individuals who have nothing to do and have plenty of time to do it in. The man who is handling bricks and the woman who is tugging at a clothes basket fail to see the utility of a lap dog or a pet cat, yet these little animals are really valuable. There are so many worse ways of wasting time that squandering iton pets may seem, by comparison, a positive virtue. And now a Baltimore woman, recently landed in New York, is said to have introduced a new Parisian fad.
Women of leisure, she declares, will soon part with their live. pets in favor of dolls. They can put almost as much money into a family of dolls, she asserts, as they can into high priced dogs or cats, and the dolls require much less care. i For a mature woman to play with dolls does look silly, but there is an encouraging side to this latest expedient for killing time'. A doll isn't a baby, but it is an imitation infant, and when the if passes, and the women come to their senses, the next step wilt-naturally be to substitute a real child, their own or a borrowed onej, to fill the gap in their lives which the passing of this fad has created.
It certainly takes a courageous optimist to see in the doll fad.the possibility of a return to the old fashioned popularity of babies, yet that is what he must see in it or else abandon the idle women to the brainless activity of a life that is wholly given over make believe. Even votes are better, as- a permanent plaything, than dolls. WISE AXX OTHERWISE. man has a very supercilious manner." "Yes," replied Miss Cayenne; "he can't even anywhere and everywhere against swearing." And let me say that right here in Altoona there is great room for reform in that direction. I walked up Eleventh avenue the other evening and at almost every step on that crowded street I heard swearing of the wickedest kind.
Men who ought to know better, young nen who were the worst offenders, thinking it smart to embroider their remarks with curses, and occasionally a -woman or girl, who should- have been ashamed to use such language as assailed my ears. Then there were the small boys -who should have been at home, but were tramping the streets using curses that wer emost horrible. Occasionally I overheadr a small girl swear, tout they (were very few. At all events it seemed to me that Altoona had more than its share of swearing people, and a demonstration against profanity suca as was he'd In Pittsburg would not come amiss In Altoona," And, sad to say, the man was only telling what is apparent to anybody who Is on the streets at night in Altoona. say it a pleasant day witnoui seeming to patronize the climate."
