"When at last commencement time
came, and Uncle Jack put on his long
black gown and went over to chapel one
day with a lot of other boys in long
black gowns, Fluff was missing. Uncle
Jack could not find her to lock her in
before he went away, and he was too
much hurried to hunt long. So nothing
was seen of little Fluff until she sud
denly appeared in her long, silky white
gown, right in among the long black
gowns, where the boys stood in solemn
rows before the president to receive
their diplomas. There stood wee bit
of Fluff, as solemn and still as any
body! So she graduated with all the
honors, and that's the end of the story"

TO go beyond the bounds of modef-
alton is to outrage humanity. The
greatness of the human soul is shown
by knowing how to keep within proper
bounds. So far from greatness con-
sisting in going beyond the limits, it
really consists in keeping within them.

The Care of the Feet.

There is no necessity whatever for
so much complaint of the feet if people
could only be induced to wear the prop
er kind of Shoes said a surgeon who
has made the foot the subject of special
study. "The great mistake that is
made IS in selecting shoes that are too
short. No matter how loose they are,
the shortness is the cause of the trouble
The ends of the bones are crowded
together, and with continual grinding
an irritation takes place and an infiam-
nation is set up that may remain as
long us life LASTS. French women are
admitted as having the most beautiful
feet of any women in the world, and the
reason of this is that they refuse to
wear short shoes, but select those that
are long enough to give the feet per-
feet freedom. The average woman who
wears No. ID, would find her health,
comfort and appearance greatly i'm
proved by selecting AZ c. The most
important of all items in getting shoes,
after the proper length is secured, is to
have them fit snugly around the instep.
This keeps the foot from driving for
ward into the shoe, as it would do were
it loose over the instep. Large shoes
allow the toes to press forward, and
are more injurious than snug ones; in
deed, it is easy to see how the feet work
ing on an incline will crowd down upon
the toes, putting the delicate bones out
Of place, and laying the train for no end
of misery."-N. Y. Ledger.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 4.-On comparison
bf the vote with that Of the last presi-
hential election, OHIO made unprecedented
gains for Mckinley In 1892 Harrison
barried Ohio by an average plurality for
Republican electors of !, O72. In that year
lne Of the Cleveland and Stevenson elect
rs was elected In 1898 Mckinley had
plurality Of over $4,000 for governor.
|rne Republicans carried Ohio in 1894 by
81 600, and last year Bushnell (Rep), J,
yas elected governor by over 92, 600. The
Ilepublicans have had phenomenally large
bluralities in Ohio the past three years,
lommoncing with MclSinley's re- election
ls governor in 1898 while in 1892 the re-
ult was very close. The state in 1882. for
. he first time, did not give its entire eloot-
raj vote to the Republican presidential
andidate. The largest plurality ever

CHIcAGo Nov. 1. 4.-The returns received
by the Associated Press up to midnight
Indicate the probable election OF MoNin-
ley and Hobart although returns are so
meager from a number of doubtful statos
that this conclusion can only be reached
by al estimate based upon the gains and
losses Tho best estimates obtainable in
dioate that Maine and Vermont have given
maiorities somewhat reduced from the
September olections that New Hamp-
shire gives about 90 600; Massachusetts,
about 100. 600 and Rhode Island and Com
necticut proportionate majorities, all for
Mckinley. New York is estimated at
above 250, 600, and Pennsylvania IS likely
to reach the same figure, if not greater.
Mary has bean carried for the Repuh-
lican candidate for president by MAORI
ty exceeding 90 600 and Gelawaro claimed
by both, apparently in dispute, although
the plurality is not likely to exceed 600
The returns from West Virginia are not
sufficient to justify the claim Of either
party. Ohio has given a very large Re-
publican plurality, and kentucky is ap-
parently assured to the Mckinley column,
although later returns may not justify
this claim. Tennessee seems to have boon
carried for Bryan, Notwithstanding the
confident assertions 80 the contrary Of the
Republican managers, ana the same is
probably true of North Carolina Indiana
and Michigan as we'll as Minnesota indi-
probability that they have gone for Nc
l<inley. Illinois will give Mckinley over
100, 600 plurality, and Nebraska and North
and South Dakota are very close and still
in doubt Wyoming seems to have gone
for Mckinley. The returns from the Pa
oiilc coast states are too meager to Justify
any claim respecting them. The states of
Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Lou.
isiana, Colorado, Nevada, Montana and
Nlaho may safely be placed in the Bryan
conpmn. The returns from Kansas and
Texas are scattering and indicates moth

Rumors Rife of Battle Between
the Troops of Maceo and the

KEY WEST, Fla. Dec. 4.-Passen-
gers by steamer from Havana tonight
say a train with 500 wounded Spanish
soldiers arrived there today. 1t was
said that most of them came from the
vicinity of San Cristobal and Candelar-
Ia. No definite statement could be
had as from what battlefield they
came. Rumors prevailed on their ar
rival that Weyler had sustained an
other defeat Counter statements were
also made that the vanguard of
Maceo's army had been defeated.
Moreover it was announced that Wey,
Ter is on the eve of attempting to
storm some of the hill tops where
Maceo is entrenched, and this has
raised great expectations in Havana.
This afternoon it was current rumor
on the streets that another garrison or
Spaniards had deserted over to Maceo
with their arms, ammunition and
stores. The place was not given. though
it is supposed to be near Palacios.
Over $50 men were in the garrison.
Late in the afternoon guerilla fight
ing was reported across the bay from
Havana. Just beyond the line Of
forts, small party Of insurgents made
a dash into the suburbs. They sue
ceeded in kllink three Spanish sold
iers, capturing one captain and firing
several shots. They lost five men
killed
Several American correspondents at
Havana have had friendly warnings
to the effect that Weyler is contem-
plating deporting some of the more
outspoken ones because their reports
do not please him.
