The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-10-21

Politics in Nebraska just now pre-
sents many complications. The officials
and leaders of each party insist on their
certain success in every department, but
a review of the situation and their state
ments reveals that only the state and Leg
islative tickets are really in doubt as the
Bryan electoral ticket will receive a con-
sentative majority. Every fusionist
claims a good majority for Bryan, but,
while many Republicans assert similarly
for Mckinley, there are still large num-
Der who admit that Bryan will win in the
state. In fact the conservative Republi-
can opinion comedies Nebraska to Mr..
Bryan.
Many features are to be considered A
large number of former Populists farmers
who have had good crops since 1896 viii
vote for Mckinley. It is estimated that
fully twenty per cent Of that class Of bal
lots of four years ago will be changed
to the Republican electors this time. This
however will offset by the marked fusion
gains in the foreign vote, especially
among Germans, Russians and Sewdes.
Then 5000 voters who supported Palmer
and Buckner are to be reckoned with
The proportion of these which will turn
to Bryan will reach easily eighty per
cent and probably more.
1t is in the legislative fight that the close
struggle will occur. The Republicans are
OI pacing DOM senators THIS
year, and with good reason were it not
for one condition. That is the strong
opposition existent in the party's own
ranks against its two strongest aspirants
for the positions, Edward Rosewater and
D. E. Thompson. Were it not for this
| bitter feeling, the Republicans would be
certain of success in this branch, for
they possess every advantage in the way
of favorable district division.
Congressman Mercer predicts 5000 ma

TERRIBLY BAsHFUL." menta
superiority of the immature young wo'
man to the immature young man Is
generally acknowledged. 1t is a fac'
that is recognized by some very small
ladies. The little 10-year-old girl In
the country was visited the other day
by small boy neighbor Of the same
age. The two sat in the hammock
for time swinging, and It might have
been noticed that the young woman die
the most talking. Undoubtedly that is
a feminine perquisite; but this particu-
lar young woman felt that she was
obliged to do more than her share, or
account of a noted lack of confidence
in the youthful male Of the human
race.
What did your little friend have t.
say?" asked mamma after the small
boy visitor had departed.
"Oh! you know how boys of that age
are, mother" replied the little lady
with a commiserating air, terrible
bashful."-New York Times.

WOULDN'T INTRODUCE HIM.

A young man with a beetling brow
and q nice new necktie entered law
office in one of the big down town office
buildings and inquired for member Of
the firm, a Mr.. Younger, whose name
he pronounced with strict regard fol
the rules of orthoepy.
"Is Mr.. Younger in?" he asked OF
the young woman stenographer, with
whom he seemed to be acquainted.
"You mean Mr.. Younger" she re-
piled, pronouncing the g" hard.
Can it be he pronounces it thai
Way?" asked the caller feigning sur
prise. "Of course it's his privilege tt
pronounce it as he chooses; there's M
set rule for pronouncing names. Bur
you know Y-o-u-n-g-e-r doesn't spell
Younger, but Younger"
mo, I didn't know it," she answered
as one who doesn't care. But here
he comes now. That's him going into
his private Office"
Excuse me; but that's not him."
mo? Pray, who is it then?'
"Its he."
They stared at each other for ter
seconds, and then the young man said
"Will you introduce me to Mr.
Younger?"
moi" she retorted. "Since you seen
to know so much more about him thar
I do, I think you'd better introduce
me-"
There was an ominous click in the
rattle of the typewriter as the young
man entered the private office and pre-.
sented his card.-Chicago Chronicle.

You trust me fully?"

NOT THE CONVENTIONAL WOMAN
But, I don't know you, madam" the
bank cashier said to the woman who
had presented a check.
But the woman, instead of saying
haughtily, "I do not wish your ac-
quaintance, sir" merely replied with
an engaging smile.
"Oh. yes you do, I think. I'm the
redhead virago' next door to you
whose 'scoundrelly little boys are al
ways reaching through your fence and
picking your flowers. When you started
down town this morning your wife

~ It is not very easy to determine, with any
degree of certainty, the exact number OF
Americans actually engaged at the battle of
Kings Mountain The Western army, that
is, that portion Of the forces, commanded by
Campbell, Shelby, Sewer and Cleveland, num-
bered, on the 5th of October, about three thou
sand. OF this number, nine hundred and ten,
both Campbell and Shelby say, were selected
to pursue Ferguson. The South Carollnians,
which according to Colonel Hill amounted to
near two thousand, were made up of indvid-
uals who had Joined the army in its march
from Bigger's Ferry, i'm York county. to the
Cowpens In Spartanburg county. Before
Kings Mountain was reached, very large
number of the men had fallen behind. Some
of the companies had lost their way, and it Is
almost certain that not more than one thou
sand men were in the fight. In fact, one ac-
count puts the number at about seven hum
dred. This, we think, too small. 1t is fact
that the men were coming in during the
whole of the fight. COuntrymen having
learned what was going on, mounted their
horses, bare-backed, and some of them took
their horses from the plow and without taking
time TO lay off the harness, mounted and
rushed to the scene of action, having no arms
but their squirrel guns. The number of men
selected for the enterprise was much greater
than the number engaged in the battle, and
many were in it who had not been selected.
They had come of their own accord and fought
in true partisan style.

Mistaken Hog breeding.

W. A. Hart of Portland, Ind. writes
in the Indiana Farmer a strong protest
against the practice of breeding sows
too young. including both boars and
sows. He does not like to breed a SOW
at 6 to 8 months old, at which time it
should weigh 200 to $50 pounds. If 1t
weighs as much as this at these ages,
1t Is too fat for breeding. and 1t is not
often that SOW only months old can
be brought in heat. He advises wait
ing until the sow is IA months old, and
he says by this time 1t will weigh
500 pounds and be well developed for
breeding. But either boar or sow that

should much rather expect that il
