Did the Romans Smoke?

Coltsfoot, or the leaves of the lettuce,
being slightly narcotic, would form a
harmless make believe for the good folk
who persuade themselves that they could
not sleep wink were they deprived of
their evening comfort. Ages ago both
Greeks and Romans, according to Dios-
corides and Pliny, found comfort In smok-
ing through "A reed or pipe the dried leaves
of coltsfoot, which relieved them of old
coughs and difficult breathing. We can
picture the legionary In Britain's bleak
atmosphere, while pacing the Roman wall,
trying TO console himself in his lonely
vigil with the vapor from his "elphin
pipe" fragments of which have been
found among the ruins of those early
memorials TO the Scots persistent deter
mination to travel southwark
And as to the lettuce, it has been famous
since the time Of Galen (Claudius Galenus),
who asserts that he found relief from sleep
lessness by taking 1t at night. Regardless
OF these things, the nicotian epicure of to-
day enjoys the inestimable advantage of
luxuriating In the delicate aroma of the
Cuban leaf, while fancying himself waited
on his upward way to Nirvana The
charming simplicity that leads to this
ideal conception of existence Is most re-
freshing. The being so lost to the outer
world can hardly be blamed if he says rude
things when compelled to touch mother
earth. Magazine

oOn Sea and Land"

1t Is becoming SO common to write with
or without quotation marks) 1.-THE light
that never was on land or sea, that II
seems well to call attention to the fact.
One of the most recent examples of the
risky haphazard reference Is In Professor
Saintsbury's Nineteenth Century Liter
AZURE, page 81. Speaking of Byron, Mr..
Saintsbury says, 1.-THE light is not that
which never was on land or sea; 1t Is that
which Is habitually just in front Of the
stage This formidable antithesis need
not meanwhile be discussed for the theory
it embodies, but 1t may be permissible to
draw attention to the Wordsworth refer
ence.
Professor Saintsbury, 1t Is true, does not
profess to quote, but the allusion, nc
doubt, is.to the great line in the "Elegiac
Stanzas Suggested by Picture Land
or sea- sounds more open, buoyant and
free than "sea or land" but 1t labors I'M

RAN AHEAD OF HIS TICKET.
Pingree's Plurality i'm Michigan Estimated
Mt SO. 900.


Detroit, Nov. 4.-Returns. incomplete
as yet, from the eighty-three counties
Of Michigan indicate McKinley's plu-
rality in Michigan to be 10000. The
same returns give Pingree for governor
an estimated plurality of $4,000. That
Pingree should have run decidedly
ahead of his ticket generally through
out the state is regarded as something
OF a surprise in view of the combined
interests allied against him. In De-
troit Pingree got more votes than he
ever received in his candidacy for may
or. In 12S precincts of this county
Pingree received 1898 to 1874 for
Sigh: Mckinley 1858, Bryan 24.417
The Republican state ticket ran con-
siderably behind Pingree's vote, and
several thousand behind the Mckinley
vote. The Republican members of con-
gress are elected in each of the twelve
districts Of the state, except the Third
and Eighth. In the Eighth the issue is
still doubtful between Congressman
Linton and Ferdinand Brucker. Wayne
county elected the entire Republican
delegation to the legislature, ten rep
resentatives and four senators, al
though ex-Mayor William G.. Thomp-
son narrowly escaped defeat The leg
islature will be Overwhelmingly Re-
publican, but by what majority is not
yet determined.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-William Mckinley

cannot be questioned
II is evident also that the Republican
plurality of the popular vote will be
great, approximating 100000.

been broken.
The eastern states, as was expected,
all roll up big majorities. New York

Pennsylvania is close behind. Massa-

Kentucky and Maryland are conceded
TO Mckinley by good majorities. Ten

THIRTY THOUSAND IN INDIANA.
State Goes for Mckinley - Republicans
Elect Congressman.


Indianapolis, Nov. -four hundred
out of the 3,115 precincts in Indiana
outside of Marion county Qndianapo-
LISP show a net Republican gain of A.
l79; a trifle over ten to precinct. This
ratio of Republican gain has been kept
up and IL II continues will give the
state to Mckinley by over 10000. With
such q heavy Republican vote over the
state the Republicans have probably
all the congressional candidates.
though there is doubt about Sulzer In
the Fourth district. Tracewell in the
Third and Lands In the Ninth. There
is little doubt that Johnson Is re-elect-
ed in the Sixth. The Republicans will
have a majority In the legislature
which the Republican managers place
at AZ on joint ballot. Marion county
will probably give a Republican ma
jority of 1000, which Is a big increase
over the last vote.
Late returns Wednesday afternoon
indicated heavy Democratic gains in
southern Indiana strongholds. These
will reduce the estimates of a big Re-
publican plurality early in the day, but

Fusionists Secure Almost Everything and
Bryan Has "a Handsome Plurality.


Lincoln. Neb., Nov 4.-Chairman
Post of the Republican state commit
tee conceded Nebraska to the fusion
ticket on presidential electors and gov
ernor. He says the Legislature and the
congressional tickets are still in doubt.
II appears quite certain, however, that
the Populists will get four of the six
congressman and they may have five
If not the entire six.
Returns from the state are still quite
meager, though almost all those re-
ceived show material Republican loss
es. The Republicans have complete
returns from only 235 election precincts
out OF total of 1000. These give a
Republican plurality of 2,450, but they
indicate losses and they do not show
the large losses in Douglas and Lam
caster counties, In which the cities or
Omaha and Lincoln are situated. Judge
Post does not concede the entire state
ticket, but the opposition claims II all
and also the legislature and all the
congressman. 1t looks as If the fu-
sionists would secure almost every
thing, and ii is certain that Mr.. Bry-
ans own state will give him a hand

RESULT IN ILLINOIS.
Tanner Runs Ahead of Mckinley Outside
of Cook County.

Chicago, Nov. 4-The entire Repub-
lican state ticket fioated in on the
crested of the Mckinley wave. The
following ticket. headed by John r.
Tanner, was chosen by majorities that
keep in the vicinity of McKinleys vote.
Tanner fell behind in Cook county, as
the politicians had predicted but to the
surprise of nearly every one, he ran
ahead of Mckinley in nearly all the
counties outside of Cook county, while
Governor Altgeld's name appears to
have been scratched" by the rural
voters to an extent that put him be-
hind his ticket in nearly all the coun-
ties outside of Cook. The Republican
ticket elected was: Governor, John X.
Tanner; lieutenant governor, William
A. Northcott; secretary of state, James
A. Rose; auditor, James s. McCul-
Tough: state treasurer, Henry L. Hertz;
attorney general, Edward G. Akin;
trustees of the University OF Illinois
Mary Turner Carriell, Thomas ]. Smith,
Francis NJ. Mckay; clerk of the SUI
preme court. northern grand division,
Christopher Manner.
Incomplete returns from the state in
dictate a majority for Mckinley and the
state ticket ranging from 100000 to 1885,
900. 1t remains TO be seen how Tan
ner's vote will compare with McKin-
ley's, but II is not unlikely that his
losses in Cook will be Offset by his
gains in the country districts, bringing
his majority very close to McKinley's
In the entire state. The Republicans
are claiming also a safe majority in the
legislature, which insures Shelby M.
