Presidential Timber.

Now that the smoke OF political
battle has rolled away and things
have settled down to their accus-
toned quiet, it is found that the re-
cent "landslide," tidal wave" dis
astrous defeat" etc., ETC., before
which the democratic party went
down in November was not so very
disastrous" after all. In the words
of the Literary Digest, "a luxurlant
growth of democratic presidential
timber was seen rising najestlca!ly
above the waters Of the republican
deluge." Prospects are not nearly SO
sombre as many good democrats at
first believed. Five states which
choose Roosevelt electors were cap
tured by democratic candidates tor
governor, a result that even at the
time startled the newspapers and set
them talking about the causes OF this
interesting result. In Massachu-
sets William L. Douglass, despite a
Roosevelt plurality OF $4,000, rolled
up a plurality OF $1,000 for himself;
in Missouri, Joseph w. Folk, stands
almost, if not entirely, alone among
the democratic candidates Of that
state as victor; in Minnesota, John
A. Johnson, BY reason of campaign
slander directed against him, but
which operated, in boomerang fash
ion upon his opponents, wo'. VIC
tory in an election in which every
other candidate of his party went
down in defeat; in Colorado, Alva
Adams defeated Governor Peabody,
whose handling of the recent strike
troubles brought him into national
prominence: and in Montana Gov
ernor Joseph K Toole was return
ed in an election that gave Roosevelt
substantial margin. Governor
Garvin. of Rhode Island, whose elec-
ton and reelection in republican
state have brought him into prom1-
nence. was defeated this year by a
plurality of 600.

The huge creature was exhibited

"Maarifsh" River.

The late Maxwell Sommerville Of
the University of Pennsylvania spent
nearly forty years Of his life in Orr
entail travel and study.
Prof. Sommerville used sometimes
to narrate the strange error that was
once made by French explorer he
had known.
This explorer had made journey
to Kairwan and had drawn a map of
the country he had passed through.
The singular thing about this map
was that the name "Maarifsh" ap-
peared so many times on it. A river
would be the "Maarifsh River: a
mountain would be Mount Maarifsh";
village, a lake. a valley-each would
be called "Maarifsh."
When Prof. Sommerville saw the
map he laughed.
Don't you know" he said to the
traveller. what 'maarifsh' means in
Arabic?"
No." said the other. What does
1t mean?"
