PROTECTING HIS RIGHTS.

The people who are too anxious about their own rights" are often as mistaken and as amusing as the roos- ter which Uncle Silas'' watched and tells about in an exchange.
 What I was laughing at?' said Uncle Silas, repeating the boys ques- tion. as they gathered around the chair where he was resting under the shadow of the naples.
 Well, I was just watching what went on in the next yard there, and laughing at picture of human na- tu-e.
 You see. the women folks are clean ing house, and they've moved a lot of things out on the porch, chairs, pie lures, and such like, and they put one big looking-glass where it leaned against the porch railing, glass side this way.
 T don't know how their chickens come to be out, for they don't general 1y have the freedom of the yard, but anyway they was out, and that old red rooster was marching along as lofty as you please, when, just as he got opposite the porch, he stretched up his neck to crow, and saw another red rooster growing back at him from the looking glass. That was too much to bear, He would not allow any trespassing on his grounds, and he i flew up and struck his head such a S blow against the glass that it knocked him flat.
 He seemed to think, at first, that the other fellow had had the best of it, and he picked himself up, and look, ed around rather cautiously. But there was no other rooster in sight none on the ground nor under the porch, and after Jerking his head thls way and that, he seemed to think he had really driven off the enemy. So he ruffled his feathers, stretched his neck again, and began to crow over his vic tory, till all at once he spied the other rooster, and it was coming, too.
 Twas funny to watch him, and can't tell you how manw times he tried it. I believe he'd have been al it yet, if some of the folks in the house hadn't seen him and moved the glass for fear he'd break it. @
 '''Twas only a rooster's 1oolishness of course" said the old man, looking around on the laughing boys: but ii made me think of human beings that are always watching out for what they call their rights" @'

Mclean Carries Connecticut-Four
 Republican, Congressmen.
 New Haven, Conn, Nov 7.-The re- vised election returns for Connections with every town and district in the state heard from gives the state to Mckinley by plurality of 2S,415. The republican state ticket headed by George P. Mclean for governor is elected by 9 plurality of 14,340. All four republican congressman are re- elected with the following pluralities: First district, S,221; second district, 3,s15; third district, 5,525; fourth dis trict, SS13. The state senate will con tain twenty-two republicans and two democrats as against twenty-one re- publicans and three democrats two years ago. The house of representa- tives is republican by POP to 52, re publican gain over the last house of twenty-one.
 The vote in Connecticut was: For president: Mckinley, 1O2, ,S49; Bryan 73,934. For Governor: Mclean, I, o6,12I; Bronson. d. S1,737. ,.-. For Congressmen: First district, Henry, r, 25,O47; Futile, d, 16,s26. dersleeve, d, 2S,4O9 Third district,
 Russell, r, 14,76o; Potter, d, 9,2s5. Fourth District, Hill, r, %, ,454; Ly- man. d, 20.641.
 The republican plurality for presl- dent was cut down nearly 90 per cent as compared with that of 1896, when McKinley'E margin was 53,564. The state ticket figures were still further reduced, the republican plurality of 1900 being 14,43O as against 52,2s3 in | 1896.
 rou,pIata raturns receiypd from l every town in the state show that a | general assembly overwhelmingly re-
 publican has been elected. In the | state senate there will sit twenty o | republicans and two democrats, a l gain of one republican over the senate | of two years ago, when there were | twenty-one republicans and three dem-
 ocrats. The republican gain was made | in the fourteenth district where Will l liam E. Seely, r, defeated his demo- | cratic opponent. In the fifth district, | William Kennedy of Naugatuck, de-
 feated Harold R. Durant of Water bury, r, James P. Bree, d. defeated | Frederick l.. Averill in New Haven, | eighth district.
 The lower branch of the general aE- sembly is as republican in complexion
 as the senate. The republicans elect
 ed POP representatives; the democrats l fifty-two. The town of Branford, in
 New Haven county, took advantage of
 the new caucus and elected two repre- sentatives, instead of one, as formerly. | The republicans and the democrats in
 this town divided the honor, sending
 one each. Huntington, in Fairfield
 county, also elected on the basis of the new census and sent two. The repub-
 licans gained twentyone representa- | tiveS in the house.
