away, the other day, scattering the

place, on both sides of the road and on
wire fences. Fast horses, such as
George always drives, were the cause.
One day last week, James Floyd un-
dertook to catch his horse which was so
fractions that he could not head him
Oft, and as a last resort he got his Win
chester and aimed to fire in front of the
horse, which was running at full speed,
hoping to head him of. The horse
was running with more speed than
James anticipated. and in consequence
thereof, the bullet penetrated the
horses neck. 1t is needless to say, he
headed the horse off. The horse was
alive at last reports, with slight hopes
for recovery.

How the Arabs Sleep.

The fact that in Algeria there are very
few maladies Of the nose, ears and
throat has caused DR.. Madeuf, an emf
nent French physician, to inquire into
it's cause. and he has found 1t due in
large measure to the practice of Arab
mothers, who train their children to
sleep on a hard bed with one or two
coverlets for dclothing, and to lie on
their sides, not on their backs. It can
easily be shown that the right side is
preferable to the left for q person to
sleep on. For one thing, the action Of
the heart or hv0 Is not impeded In any
way by the pressure OF the body when
one lies on the right side. DR.. Madeuf
seems to think that sleeping on the back
is the worst Of all. II there is any irri-
tation of the mucuous membrane OF the
nose, 1t Is apt to extend to the ears and
throat when one sleeps in this position
Moreover, one is very prone to breathe
by the mouth, which is neither q healthy
nor seemly habit The doctor, there
fore, counsels au mothers to accustom
their children to hard beds and to sleep
on their sides-above ALL on their right
sides. The habit formed in infancy will
be useful to them in their way through
life, and probably save them from more
than one illness.-Public Opinion.

A Plighting-Stone.

The archaeological collection at the
Canadian Institute has been enriched by
the addition Of valuable and histor-
ical curio from Scotland, known as
"The Plighting Stane o. Lairg." Where
it originally came from is not known,
but as far back as Scottish tradition
goes 1t has existed in Sutherlandshire.
in the north Of Scotland. It Is be-
heved to belong to the DruidtcaI pe-
riod. The stone is disk shaped, being
worn out in the center. and through the
hole, probably caused by the action Of
water persons wishing to make an
agreement, either relating to business or
love, shook hands, solemnly promising
to carry out the contract. This pledge
has in all known cases been kept relig-
iously. Marriages are celebrated in
this way when witnesses are present.
The stone was built into g. small wall
extending from the church at Lairg, but
some seven or eight years ago the build
ings were torn down to make room for
modern edifice, and since then 1t has
been in private hands. Hugh Nichol of
Stratford was in Scotland a short time
ago and managed to secure 1t. David
Boyle, the curator of the institute, says
that it is about the only one procurable,
and for this reason the museum in con-
nection with oxford University was
very anxious to get 1t.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

Fronn present Indications it would
seem that Mckinley has received the
popular vote Of the electors Of the
Union, as we'll as over 260 in the Elec-
toral College. OF course this may not
turn out to be true, but at present
writing the calculations Of the total
popular vote all incline that way. Com
pared with other Electoral Colleges, Mr..
McKGnley's strength, when the canvass
is made, will not be relatively so great
as has been cast for some Of his pred
ecessors. A review Of these votes at
this time may serve as tha basis Of
some interesting calculations by our
readers
The percentages in the Electoral Col
leges since the foundation of the
Union have been greatly varied Wash
irgton was elected in 1889, the Elec-
toral College having 73 votes, and
Washington received SO Of them, a per-
centage of 1852. In 1892 there were
135 votes in the college, and Washing
ton had II, or a percentage Of 81 plus.
In 1896 the college had grown to 13S
votes, of which Adams had II, a per-
centage of 54.41. In 1900 Jefferson
and Burr each had 73 votes in a college
of 13S. or a percentage of 53.61.
Since then the votes received in the
college and the percentages for the win
ner have been as follows: 1904, Jeffer-
son, 162 out Of 176, or 90 per cent.
1s0s, Madison, 122 out Of 176, or 69.3O
per cent 1872, Madison. 12S out of
21S, or 54.12. 1916, Monroe, 1S3 out
of 221, or s2.35 1920, Monroe. 2s1 out
OF 235, or $500.
Adams in 1924 had 81 and Jackson
20, the vote being out Of a college of
261 and resulting In no choice, the per-
centages being respectively 321S and
87.93. In 1928 Jackson had 17S votes
cut OF 261, percentage Of $500 In
1892 he had 219 out Of 2S8, q percent
age of 1857. In 1886 Van Buren, had
40 out Of 294, or 57.S2 In lS4O w.
H. Harrison secured 234 out of 294. a
percentage Of 1859.
In 1874 Polk had ITO out Of 275. or
61.62. In 1S4S Taylor had 163 out of
200. or 56.21. In 1852 Pierce 254 ou,
Of 206. with the high percentage OF
S5.61. In 1856 Buchanan, TIA out OF
296, with 5S.79 percentage In 1850
Lincoln won $50 out OF 303 a percent
age Of 59.41. In 1864 he had 212 out
OF 314, or 91.62 per cent In 1868 Gran,
had 214 out Of 317. or 67.98, and again
In 1872 he had 2S6 out Of 366, or S1.9
Hayes had In 1876. 1S5 out of 1854 OF
SOFA. In 1880 Garfield had 214 out OF
500. or So per cent.
Cleveland had In 1884. 219 out OF
4O1, or 5462. Harrison received 233 Out
Of 4O1 in 1883. or SSH percentage. In
1892 Cleveland had 277 out Of 444. OF
a percentage Of 62.3S. If Governor
McKinley's vote In the college Is placed
at 264 out Of 447. he will have So IS
percentage Of the Electoral College.

ABSURD CLAIM.

The claim that Mckinley elector
must be counted out in Delaware be-
cause his name was printed on the bal
lots without the ST." as he usually
writes it, is absurd. The name OF the
man ts a name without the suffix. That

from one of the same name, who is his
Junior in years. The boards OF elec-
ton could ascertain from the ballots
who the voters intended to vote for. and
should have counted the votes for him,
aven where the "Sr." was omitted.
Voters should not be disfranchised be-
cause OF such unintentional omission.

A MANS GREATEST HELP.
The Best Thing in All the World is to
Have Had a Good Mother.

Noting the tendency Of mothers to
escape the care and responsibility of
training their own children, resorting
to nurses, governesses, kindergartens,
ETC., Edward w. Box, In the November
Ladies Home Journal" vigorously
contends that women should consider
her God-given duties to her children
vastly paramount to every "claim"
that can be made upon her time. 1T
is one OF the most baleful tendencies of
the times" writes Mr.. Box, that young
children are placed 80 much and go en-
tirely in the hands of nurses, and so
far away from their mothers. I do not
think that women exactly realize what
the early teachings and influences of
mother mean to a man when he reaches
years of maturity. The time which
boy spends at his mothers knee is
never forgotten by the man. Our NOR
ality is learned there. Our characters
are formed there. We are most impress
sionable when we are in a stage Of alb
solute dependence upon others.
What sort of recollection is it for
or governesses? What moral stimulus
mother inevitably reading some novel
and resting in a languid stupor with
fan and smelling bottle? What moral
fibre Is instilled into the child who sees
his mother only as she fits before him
between morning calls, luncheons,
meetings, teas, drives, dinners and
theater parties? What does a boy
learn at the knee of a nurse? Good?
Perhaps. But just as often he learns
that which Is not good.
Many man has stood at the forks of
the road In his life, broken hearted and
perplexed, only to have his mothers
words, uttered to him when a child,
come before him and point him the
way. 1t Is then that he realizes that
the best thing in the world to q man
Is to have had a good mother, watch
ful, tender and anxious, as only
a mother can be where her child is con-
cerned. In those supreme moments
the lesson taught-not by the nurse,
not by a stranger, not at the kinder
garten, but at the mothers knee-be-
comes precious recollection and
penedlctlon. It means then a mans
salvatlon. And in that quiet moment
a man thinks Of good mother as he
never thinks Of any other woman. A
look Of tenderness comes into his eyes,
feeling of softness creeps into his
heart, and the attitude Of his earliest
infancy comes to him as. unconsciously,
he looks upward and breathes to him
self the most precious of all words.
Mother It remains for the mothers
of to-day to determine how much that
word will mean to the men Of to-
morrow"

The new President will go into Office
heavily burdened. He will find that
for many months the Government has
been running behind, its income not
meeting its expenses; that there has
been suspension Of payments upon the
public debt, and great piling UP Of
undischarged interest The new ad-
ministration must not be looked to-,
therefore, to accomplish all it should
at an early day. It must clear off
liabilities before it can add much to
the treasury, and the amount Of these
liabilities is something startling. In
deed, it is possible that the new ad-
ministration may be forced to bor-
row money to lubricate the wheels of
government in the early months of the
new term, unless the present Congress
finds some way out of the difficulty,
as for instance by such temporary
tariff adjustments as were proposed a
year ago, and strangled in the Senate
by the silver faction.
1t has been demonstrated that the
tariff was an issue in the late cam
paign, despite the persistent denials
of the fusion combination. The people
did hold 1t to be an issue; they did
vote with that in mind; they did con-
slider 1t Of such Importance that they
approved the expression of the Repub-
lican platform upon that subject, and
they did it in the teeth Of the refusal
Of the Democracy to discuss it, pass
upon the tariff matter in their own
minds and act accordingly. We have
positive knowledge upon the subject,
and it Is to the effect that among wage
earners all about US the question Of
the tariff became an uppermost and
governing one.
