Real Magic Number.

said some one. "Whaf number is it?"
"Why, nine, of Scourse,' replied
some one else. There are nine muses.,
You know, and you talk of nine days

and a cat has nine lives
Nonsense broke in another.
i"Seven is the magic number; seventh
heaven, don't you know, and all that
seven colors in the rainbow; seven days

"Thrse is undoubtedly the magic

This was received with some con-
tempt by the company. and soulful
youth gushed out;

A hard featured individual, who had
been listening to the conversation hith-

voice:

A Dumas Story,

Dumas the elder was rarely spiteful
to or about his fellow men, but one day,
when he happened to be in that mood,
friend called TO tell him piece Of
news. "They have just given NJ. x.
the Legion of Honor, he said. Then
he added, in significant tone, Now,
can you imagine why they should have
given it to him:'
Yes" answered the great dramatist
promptly. "They have given it to him
because he was without it,.

RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

Tuesdays election was neither Il
Waterloo nor a Benheim to any
party, and returns indicate no great
tide of change in the states where
changes might have been expected.
The manufacturing districts have
generally gone republican and the
agricultural districts from Maine TO
Kansas hold up their republican pro.
portions fairly we'll compared with
previous off years.
In New York the fight between
Roosevelt and VanWyck for gov.
ernor was interesting, as expressive
of the general tone of the country.
Although the New York democracy
wholly ignored the silver question
and made no allusion To the Chicago
platform, that party still stood the
charge of ''Bryanism," and conniv-
ance with intlationists. and the re-
turns on this election are taken as an
expression of the popularity of that
issue. VanWyck's majority in
Greater New York does not exceed
$4,000, which is not enough to ov-
ercome the up. state republican
strength. AS usual the republicans
carry the state outside the city, and
Roosevelt's election is reported to
be by not less than 10000 majority.
In Ohio the democrats have elect
ed congressman in the fourth and
fifth districts, the republicans carry.
ing the rest of the state.
In Massachusetts the democrats
made their fight for silver and the
Chicago platform, but the republi-
cans carry the state almost entirely.
The same results are reported from
Connecticut where the party stood
npon ''sonnd money platform.
Rhode island goes republican.
In Pennsylvania the Quay ma
chine rules as usual, Notwithstanding
the split in the party led by John
Wanamaker and DIR. Swallow, and
Stone is elected governor by large
plurality. The democrats have saw
ed one or two congressman, but the
state is strong republican.
Chicago is close but democratic.
These returns reflect very we'll the
eastern view upon present issues,
and it is Necessary TO notice but one
more influence in order to form an
idea of the political status of the
United States. This influence is
the farmer vote. Its numericsl val
ne is probably 30 per cent of ,he to.
tributed rs to he able to carry those
states which may be expected to
turn the tide of elections in either
direction. The returns to date show
that the farmer vote has stood by
the administration and voted the re.
publican ticket.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa,
are solidly republican, with Mime
sofa probably so. But in the latter
state, Lind, fusion silver democrat,
has chance of election and the 9th
congressional district is still in
doubt.
Colorado re.elects Shafroth, silver
republican, and Bell, populst to
congress.
