TENTH OF THE FIFTH.

When the polls closed there was a
feeling in the crowd that Vida had gone
ahead OF his ticket and that the Re-
publican representatives had made
about an even break for honors The
results showed that the wise ones were
correct, for three Republicans and
three Home Rulers on the representa-
tive ticket were elected.
With the aid OF lanterns the inspect
ors and tellers went to work to count
the votes The crowd seemed more inn
patient to hear the returns on the rep
resentative ticket than for delegate or
for the senators, and 1t was finally de-
cided to count the long ballots first.
Had the inspectors known that they
kept the entire city on the anxious seat
for more than two hours waiting for
the returns on the election of the dele
gate to Congress, they would probably
have hesitated to satisfy just their own
wants. However, alls well that ends
WELL for with the returns of Ill for
Cupid and 1877 for Wilcox, the votes in
the fifth district were exactly divided
between the two candidates. 1t re-
mained for the tenth precinct to com
plete the returns for delegate and set
the crowds in front of the Advertiser
office and the Republican headquarters
yelling and cheering for Cupid.

lots. 1t was soon noticed that Vida

WORDS SPOKEN A DAY
Men Ordinarily Talk Enough to Fill a Big Newspaper
 Every Day.

II have been trying to figure cut how many words the average man utters in every A hours, :" said gentleman who has a pen chant for peculiar things, accord ing to the New Orleans Times Democrat, "but I have b.. ell un- able to reach any satisfactory con eluslon on account of the differ ent rates of speed at which diff ferent persons talk. Of course, l have no reference to the diff ferent kinds of words which may be found in the daily vocabulary of the average man, but l am talking about the total number of words uttered counting repeti- tions and all, during every 24 hours. There is tie quiet, mel ancholy gentleman, who will not speak ou an average of 300 words a day, and there are many who for one reason and other would not utter anything like this num- Der. On the other hand there is the conversational Gatllng gun, not always q woman either, who
 
 will roll off words at fearful rate of speed, and whose aggre- gate for one day wolld run up to dizzy heights. Then there Is the normal talker, who will strike a good, decent ayerage-the man who will neither bore you with hls indifferent silence nor tire y1u with his meaningless yerbosi- ty.
 But suppose we fi1nre that the average person will utter an aver age of 40 words every minute, or about 57, 600 words for every 24 hours, Of course, no person will talk this much as the windiest of men and women would probably break down before they had talk cd as much as 57 columns i'll the average daily newspaper. The only question is as to how much time each person puts in talking during eafh day. Some men and women are situated so that they cannot talk during the day, ex- ccpt at meal lime, on account of the character of work they have to do. There are others, such as trqveing men, for instance, who depend upon talk for their living have figured that tie high man, proharly the travelling man, will talk five hours out of every "A !,

THE HORSE A SHAVER
Despite Efforts of Inventive Gen. jus, the Horse is With
 Us to stay.

Mr Edison thinks he has sol yed the problem of the electro storage battery with machine that will go 100 miles without re- charging. As consequence he predicts automobiles cheap enough for the humbIest and the retirement of the horse both for carriage and pleasure.
 We have heard something like thIs before. The electric street ear promised to put tbe horse out of business, and the bicycle was quite sure 1t would finish the job. But the four-legged friend of man is still i'll demand and quite likely will so continue to be, even after automobiles are as common as baby bnggies.
 Unquestionably a machine such as Mr. Edison describes is cheap CT to keepa than d horse but, as he intimates, the universal use ot the automobile requires universal good roads, and that is | consum- nation long way off. Besides there are certain uses to which the machine can never be put. It cannot cut across lots or fields, and jump ditches and fences. It cannot be employed in war. It will never be available for the farm or the ranch.
 Moreover, man will never sur render the delight of the feel of the rein. There is sensation i'll striding a noble animal or in hold ing him down on q shell road that no mere thing of tires and wheels and electric fluid can supply. The rider and the driver and his horse are one. There is companion- ship between them, an undcr- standing, cooperation that ls alf the pleasure of going. We can admire an ingenious contriv- anee like an automobile or d bicy- cle, but we can't love 1t. We may use 1t for purely material and hnslness purposes or for the fashion or fad of the hour, but we can't pet it.
 No, no: inventive genius will never divorce the children from the pony, the family from the faitbiul old carriage horse, nor the man with red blood in his veins from the hunter and the roadster.
 And heaven forbid that any> thing should ever come between the nigger and the mule.

Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. If your blood is bad, your health must suf- fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose vitality just as poor fire under the boiler allows the steam to run down. From poor blood to impure blood is but a step, and impure blood is mother to large percentage of human ills. Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for both poor and impure blood, for it is both builder and purifier = food and a medicine. It is the best combi- nation of the kind known to medical science, and its success for nearly half a century has led 10 its endorsement by thousands of medical men who have been unable to find substitute.

that, it ill becomes a metropolis
