nia up to nearly the day fixed for
them to choose their Mayor, only
two days before election, a meeting
of the W. C. T. U. was called, at
which a candidate lor Mayor and
five councilmen were named. Early
ou election day morning anti ITo-
hibitionists, thinking it a joke, or
dered some tickets to be printed
with the five councilmen on it as
named at the women’s meeting but
substituting Mrs. Salter’s name for
that of their candidate for Mayor.
Her friend, having procured her
consent to serve if elected, set to
work and accomplished what had
been proposed ds an ill natured joke.
The anti Prohibitionist and his
allies, to use a homely saving, were
made to laugh on the other side of
their month. Argonia elected a j
female Mayor, who is the head of!
an efficient administration, but one
hardly as progressive as she desires
it to bo. Her anxiety for local im
provements is checked by the par
simony of her councilmen. Mrs.
Salter’s salary is one dollar a year.
The Mayor of Argonia is about
five feet three and a half inches iu
height. She is thin and of an ac
tive temperament. Her eyes are
gray, and, her crimped hair of a
blonde shade. The cares of office
have induced her to engage the
services of a domestic, but other
wise ber arrangements at home are
as they were before her election to
be the chief person in a population
of about five hundred. She learned
dressmaking while at College, and
makes her own and her children’s
clothing. Mrs. Salter was busy at
