tuperation against the world in general and
politicians and elections in particular. A
gentleman known to be "ferninst the guv-
vermont, as well chronic kicker, was
mace temporary chairman, and the fun
began. The proceedings of the Knockers
CluD are never made public, but If any
ones left ear burned on election night he
need have no doubt as to the cause of the
sensation. He was undoubtedly the subject
or discussion in the club at that time.
NINE O'Clock came, and no returns had
been received. At $50 the last of the lady
clerks finished her part of the work and
went home, when Mr. Haney arose and
said: Gentlemen, the rule against smok-
ing IN this room is now withdrawn" The
crowd cheered the remark, when someone
nlnted that there was nothing there to
smoke. Mr.. Haney said nothing, but in a
few minutes he brought in box of fine
Havanas Needless to say, if there was
one man in the city against whom no men,
Der of the knockers Club would have
ventured the lightest kind of knock Clerk
Haney was the man. At 9:45 a bicycle
stopped in front of the office, and the first
messenger came painting and putting into
the room. 1t was false alarm, however,
for he brought an incomplete return, con-
trary to the instructions given by the city
clerk He was given a private lecture up
on his duties and sent back to his precinct.
But the reporters had not much longer to
wait and by II o'clock the work had COM
menced in earnest
The small army of messengers, as they
came in one by one lined up before Mr.
Haney's desk, and as soon as one reported

from whom comes the comprehensive but
brief statement that Baldwin has been
beaten by Towne in the Duluth district, or
that Eddy and the whole Republican ticket
have swept the Popuists off the earth in

in reports received from state headquarters,

There is a craft theory that news de-
creases in value in a sort of Seometrical
progression it originates; or. more prop
erly, pertains to points distant from the
publication office. This is true in qualified
sense of all news, but it is particularly true
as concerns election news and the work of
collecting election returns The newspaper
world is run very much upon the socialistic
idea of each paper doing what lies about it
and exchanging with newspapers through
out the country and the state the results
of their several labors. Upon these two ny
potheses the labor of collecting the election
news of Minneapolis and Hennepin county
falls to THE TRIBUNE.
There are in Hennepin county 26 township

and village polling places besides the 1913
districts in Minneapolis. There were on the
state ticket in the recent election "a candi-
dates. Cn the city ticket 81, and en- the
county ticket H. A simple, though not alb
Solutely correct method of compute ton
would show that to record these three tick
cts required &C. 107 different numbers and as
each number averaged something over two
figures it would indicate that about 1900
individual figures were required. This num-
Der is reached by adding together the num-
Der of polling places and multiplying them
by the number of candidates. This number
must be discounted by about 1900 figures
on account of the fact that aldermen run
only in ward and not in the country.
and that justices of the peace and the en-
tire city ticket was not voted for in the
country This still leaves about $1,000 sep
arate figures in which the slightest mistake
may play sad havoc.
RECEIVING CITY RETURNS
The office of City Clerk Haney was the
channel through which the newspapers were
able to obtain such prompt possession of
all of these figures, being the official depos-
itory for the election returns sent in by
the judges and clerks OF election in the
various precincts throughout the city.
There it that the reporters, the city
clerk, his assistants, and the scribes of
the Republican and Democratic campaign
committees kept the points of their pencils
hot copying the long lists of figures as
they were read to them by Mr. Haney;
and from there the messengers were kept
running every few minutes to the offices
in Newspaper Row and to the political
headquarters.
At about 8 O'clock the reporters and
scribes took their places at the table in
Mr. Haneys private Office. They knew that
the task before them was one which would
tax their powers of endurance to the ut
most, and to them the prospect did not
look brilliant. They whiled away the time

The new moon hung in the sky,
The sun was low in the west,
And my betrothed and I
In the churchyard pause to rest
Happy maid and lover,
Dreaming the old dream over;
The light winds wandered by,
The robins chirped from the nest
And 10! in the meadow sweet
Was the grave of a little child,
With crumbling stone at the feet
And the ivy running wild;
Tangled ivy and clover
Folding it over and over;
Close to my sweetheart's feet
Was the little mound up-piled.
Stricken with nameless fears
She shrank and chung to me.
And her eyes were filled with tears
For sorrow / did not see;
Lightly the winds were blowing,
Softly her tears We're flowing,
Tears for the unknown years
And sorrow that was to be.
