Here in Little Old Washington
Not Long Ago.

Rats! Stuff. Fiddlesticks!' exclaimed
the dyspeptic-looking passenger In the
Washngton-boun car, angrily throwing
his morning paper on the floor and wiping
his feet on it. The conductor stuck his
head in the door to see what the trouble
was, and two rows of newspapers were
lowered for a moment and two rows Of
passengers inspected the dyspeptic inquir-
ingly.
whats the trouble?' inquired the man
with the genial smile, who had boarded
the car at Chevy Chase Circle.
Trouble enough" answered the sour
looking citizen with a frown. I'm tired
of reading rot. From the truck I see in
the newspapers nowadays It's as plain as

as soon as l get In town and read the Su-

Anything particularly wrong this morn

thetically.

the man with the grin. Il don't know but

Big Republican Plurality

The complete returns on the vote
for president and governor are rot
in, and likely will not be until the
official count is made. From what
figures are at hand t would appear
that Roosevelt and LaFOllette were
only few votes apart. Roosevelt
approximately has 2516 votes in the
county, and on the same basis Of
estimate La Toilette has 2515 votes.
Peck will have approximately 487
votes, so that the republican plural
ity of Bayfield, county is 2O28.

Mat Duhr, who is authority for the

serpent by cutting its head off and
boiling it with snake root, which grows
plentifully on most rocky places in this

however, thought this meant that
Patrick was not prepared TO give that
day and would do so later.
Not securing enough money at this
time, the following Sunday he made
another collection, paying particular
attention to those who had not given
the previous time. Coming again to
Patrick, he was greeted In the same
manner. Meeting him on the street
day or two later, the Father said,
"Patrick, why did you not help us last
Sunday ?"
"Ah, that's alright, Father, it's
