Iowa Falls, Nov. Selection figures
in this county show hat old Hardin is
at the front with one of the biggest, ii
not the biggest, republican majority in
proportion to its total vote of any
county in the state. Posing as the ban
ner republican. county Of the state. its
citizens naturally take a just pride in
its position in the republican ranks.
The vote was a large one all over the
county, this city and township leading
all other precincts in point Of ballots
voted. In the various wards of this
city there was marked falling off in
the Bryan vote as compared with the
vote of 1896 and proportionate gain
for the republican nominees. In some
precincts there was a shrinkage in the
fusion vote Of so per cent. The vote
on congressman showed that Col. Hen
dersom has lost none Of his old popu-
larity in this county and the party in
Hardin is as loyal as ever to the gal
liant member from the Third district.

are so placed that physical exertion
is not constantly demanded Of them
in their daily life.
Mrs. Pinkham makesa special appeal
to mothers of large families whose
work is never done, and many of
whom suffer, and suffer for lack OF

Des Moines, Nov. Sit will not be
possible to secure complete and correct
returns from the Iowa counties till
next Monday night, when the Official
count is made. The returns received
make it certain that Mckinley will
have from 100000 to 10000 plurality.
The total vote will be over 600. 900,
much greater than In 1896. There are
no changes in the congressional vote.
Des Moines, Nov. S.-One Of the most
gratifying features Of the returns in
Iowa is the fact that they show the
state ticket to have run very close to
the national, thus demonstrating that
the members OF other political organi-
cations who ignored party lines and
voted for Mckinley left the old party
entirely and voted straight ticket.
This in itself is severe rebuke Of the
party sthat now calls itself democratic,
but is democratic in name only.
AS stated, the Iowa delegation is
solidly republican. the official returns
showing that all the republican candi
dates have been elected by most com-
4 plimentary pluralities. Maj. Lacey In
the Sixth district, where the democrats
|expected to accomplish such wonders,
has 3,349 plurality. There does not
seem to be anything particularly

democracy of tho Prcsa.

The newspaper press is the most
democratic institution on earth. says
n New York writer. Within the pages
of a daily journal all classes come to-
gether on the same level. Fayne
Moore and Mrs. Astor are mentioned
in the same column. William C.
Whitney and Brown, the expressman,
have their portraits published side by
side. Toduel Sloane, the jockey. and
J. Pierpont Morgan. the fnancier, di-
vide oodles of space. The convict in
the penitentiary is exhibited along
side of the Christian minister OF the
Gospel. The bloodthirsty Boxer aud
the peaceable peasant OF Piedmont
have their say in the same style of
type. A Newport cotillon and Texas
lynching are equally displayed. The
newspapers play no favorites. All
knowledge is their forte, all news their
capital stock. The red hat of the car
dinal is no redder to them than the
red gore that is spilled in the roped
arena. The buest blood of the revo-
luton is treated with no more respect
than the blue nose of Cape Cod fish
erman.

CHAPTER VIII.

II was a ho, August evening. and
after Moiii- had heard Rates hymns
and praycrs-for which purpose she
always went upstairs after dinner
she took book and sat at the wide
open window In preference TO return
Ing to the drawin. room. She often
did this now. for lately things had been
worse than ever. Henri more persist
cnt. At first Kate tossed about. rest
less with the heat. but at length her
regular breathing Showed that she
slept: and Mollie's book dropped un-
needed, as she sat watching the har-
vest lightning flashing across the
darkening sky.
She Was thinking of Reggie, who
had been Obliged to rcjoin his regiment
in ireland months ago. without say
Ing good-by to her. though he had
brought Joyce up to Chalfont to cali
for that purpose. Madame had never
mentioned this. She only heard Il
from Joyce later. when II seemed too
late to be angry. though she was yer.
sorry.
She had missed him dreadfully. Rev
erton was not the same place some
how when there was no chance during
their walks and drives of seeing his
tall, upright figure swinging along. but
he used to send all sorts of messages
through Joyce. He would come back.
and. meantime. she devoted herself to
Kate. who daily grew happier and
more childlike. Mrs. Anstruther and
Joyce did their best for her: but
madame cut her OF from every one.
and lately they had been away. which
was a great matter OF regret. for 1t
was something to feel their friendly
presence near. though she was free to
wander in the woods and fields with
Kate in their absence.
The scent OF cigar. chairs being
dragged along the pantiles below. and
voices, made her lean further out OF
the window. Madame and Henri were
evidently sitting there How clearly
their voices were borne upwards in
the still air-little they guessed how
plainly! Mollie would have moved
away. feeling that she ought not to
listen had she not caught a few words:
then she leaned forward with all her
might.
"Kate's money cannot be touched. l
have got all ! can--every farthing. l
literally do not know where to turn for
a penny" And madame's voice sound
ed harsh and weary. You must

Big "lr in English Writing.

Did it ever occur to you that it might seem very egotistical for you te write of yourself with a capital "I'' instead of using the small and less obtrusive one? The English use of the capital T" is one of the oldest features of the language-to 3 for eigner. If Frenchman writes refer ring to himself he makes "je" (the French equivalent of I'D with a small 'j" So with the German, who may use capitals to begin every noun; hs always uses the small 'i" in writ ing 1ch." The Spanlard avoids, as far as practicable, the use of the per- sonal pronoun when writing in the first person, but he always writes IL
 'yo,' taking pains, however, to begin the Spanish equivalent of our you" with capital In English it is sure- ly big "I' and little "you." as the old saying has it.
