That this was not a partisan
victory has been freely admitted
by its chief beneficiaries. Presi-
dent Mckinley said to the crowd
that greeted him at Salem, OF 10,
on his return journey to Washi1 g
ton:
"You are here to celebrate a vic
tory won not by a single party,
but by the people Of all parties"
On tho day after election Gov.
Roosevelt said at Oyster Bay:
1T should be a matter Of the
deepest gratitude to notice the
way those Democrats who are
stanch believers in sound money
and civic honesty and in the hon
or of the flag have joined hands
with their Republican brethren.
They will share with them the
credit for che victory"
National Committeeman joseph
q. Manley, OF Maine, about as
stalwart a Republican as his par
ly can boast, said in a talk to the
Commercial Travellers Sound
Money League:
"The Republican organization
has not won this fight. It has
been VOL by the people, This is
Aot a partisan Republican victory.
We could not have won this mag
lnhcent battle but for the loyal
.1emocrats who have sustained us
through the contest"
Even Senator Hanna, who does
not ordinarily divide the credit for
Republican victories with anybody
but God. admitted that Tuesdays
result happened ''because the peo-
pie We're Overwhelmingly in favor
Of sound money. law aud order,
and q continuation of the political
conditions which mean prosperity
TO the country" And he made a
special acknowledgement of the
ald afforded by "those you
call Sound Money Democrats, but
whom we call American citizens
1fthe party to which hes been
given a new lease of power in
these circumstances shall bear in
mind the obligations thus gener-
pusly acknowledged by its leaders,
and shau conduct the government

HELEN DACY went 10 Elgin-not
because she was insane, but be-

its street car service is not good, and
Helen walked through the village up
to the pleasant park with which the
state has surrounded the asylum for

grounds To the building, and Helen
was TO encounter melancholy sight.
AS she went along the serpentine
path, n procession came toward her.
There must have been n hundred men
in It and they moved slowly and most
OF them walked with bowed heads.
Their feet appeared to press the earth
heavily. At first Helen thought IL
must be a funeral procession, but n
moment later she perceived that 1t
was something more distressing. IL
was the walk Of those who had sur
yived their own death. In other
words, 1t was "a body of insane pa
tients, exercising the bodies that held
their persisted minds. Helen shrank
aside and stood fascinated while they
passed her. Some OF them looked at
her curiously, or with lack-luster
gaze. or wistfully. A sudden appre-
citation of her own youth and healtl:
and sanity came over her and made
her all the more pitiful toward these
unfortunntcs.
The procession had passed and she
was about rcsuming her way TO the

CAST UP BY THE SEA.

Repair I'm 1871.

In 1884 a British steamer named the
Ironsides ran into terrific gale when
within 20 miles OF Halifax. Her cargo
shifted. and she rolled so far over that
her propeller was useless, and after
every effort TO right her she was aban-
doned by all hands. The boats were
adrift seven days before being picked
up.
The loss OF the steamer was duly re-
ported, and the insurance money had
been paid, when il was heard OF again.
She was passed in midocean by an
american ship. and she was riding on
an even keel Her cargo had shifted
back, and beng stanch iron vessel,
she was still afloat She would have
been boarded by the American skip

A steamer was sent out from Hall
fax TO look for her, and another left
the English channel, but they knocked
about for month and got no trace. {
The lronsides was sighted only that
once. though she was afloat for five
months and drifted thousands of
miles.

In 1912 a British frigate called the
Foxfire was lost between the Azores
and Madeira. She foundercd In gale,
though not until most OF her crew had
been transferred In wonderfully
plucky way To consort.
The frigate went down in water 900
feet deep, but on the afternoon OF July
20. 1874. 90 years after her loss, the
hulk crawled ashore on Formcsn is
land. A stifr gale which had been
blowing for three days, aided by
heavy seas and n high tide. landed her
on the beach, and the relic was seized
by beachcomber named Saundcr-
son.
The frigate no doubt went TO the
bottom at first, and IL may be that
she rested there for half century.
Then n heavy storm or swirl OF tho
current sent her drifting along Rud-
der and keel and masts were gone. and
many Of the bulkhends were down. but
the hull could have been made water
tight.
Saunderson engaged help and made
n good haul from the hulk, Her guns
were worthless, as may be supposed,
but he got $4,000 in gold from tho
purser's safe, and many relics which
brought high prices from tourists.
The appearance Of the Foxfre settled

One morning last week stranger en-
tered our bank and asked me for GER
tificate of deposit for a considerable
sum Of money, which he handed over.
I counted the money and found the
amount to be as stated, and hurriedly
said: Sign there, sir-pen and Ink at
your left hand
"Well, it took the stranger a long
time to sign his name; but I thought
nothing more Of it, and issued the GER
tificate of deposit. About a week later
the same man, whose face had forgot
ten, reappeared and presented the GER
tificate. He dashed off an ornate Sig
nature, which proceeded to compare
with the first signature. The two were
vastly different, as the first one was
apparently the labored effort of an old
man.
"I can't pay you this money, SIR I

"Why not?' asked the stranger.
Because it Is not the signature OF

"'Well, said the stranger, when 1
