The late Rev. Myron W. Reed was fond
of gun and rod and always took his sum
mer vacations in the woods. During one
OF these summer sojourns in the woods the
actor Joe Murphy and Mr.. Reed met.
They became chuns within three days. On
Sunday Murphy was getting out his fish.
ing tackle to try for trout 1t was IA beau.
tiful day for fly fishing. Mr.. Reed looked
on and made no sign.
why don't you get out your tacklee'
asked the actor We'll never have bet
ter day than this"
"'Oh, was the answer, II thought l
would go to church today" :ss II
Not caring to fish alone, Murphy went
with him. Alters long walk through the
woods they came to q little church in u
clearing, and, to Murphy MANAGEMENT, his
companion. whom he had not suspected to
be a Clergyman, stepped into the pulpit
and preached the sermon. --.New York

WASHINGTON, November 7.--Mors

with reference to the States OF Ohio.

Considering the small number of
States in which elections were held
yesterday, and the fact that West vir-
ginia was not one of them, the local
interest in the result was unusually
great 1t was manifested in the usual
way-the way which makes the life OF
the average newspaperman burden
in the constant ringing of the telephone
bell, in ceaseless inquiries for news,
and in the crowding of the Register
Office by persons anxious to hear the
result. There was not much in any
of the early dispatches to furnish jus
tihcation for rejoicing by either DEM
ocrats or Republicans. The returns
having a Democratic tlnge were cheer
ed by one faction. and kilograms show
ing Republican gains, caused CORE
spending Joy on the other side.
The greatest degree Of anxiety was
manifested regarding Ohio, people OF
all parties being eager TO learn wheth-
er the Herculean efforts of Hanna and
his followers would bring about the
desired result in the Buckeye STATE.
The situation over there and in Ken
lucky was rather complicated, and there
was therefore much interest in the sit
nation. The result in Ohio did not oc-
casion much surprise as 1t was all
along regarded as simply question OF
majority for Nash. Democrats were
particularly gratifed over the fact that
the Democrats had reclaimed Maryland,
while they were at loss to understand
how the Republicans could find cause
for iublation in the returns from ONO
