Lincoln last Thursday to visit
friends in Valentine and vicinity
couple of weeks. Miss Luella

who perhaps had to guess at first
who the lady was who seemed to
know so many people.
The DEMOCRAT office has just

The stores have a lot of goods
displayed for Christmas trade. If
you don't get to buy Christmas
presents before Christmas you
should come in after Christmas
and see the splendid displays of
goods. The windows trimmed up
with holiday effects and counters
loaded with pretty things make US
wish we were young again and
lived in the present age as boy.
But away back thirty or forty
years ago we appreciated a stock
ing full of candy and nuts perhaps
as much as children .of today do
the numerous presents that are
bought so cheap.

DOUGLASS PLURALITY

The total vote for the two guberna-
toriaI candidates was about 10,0O0
more than the combined vote for Par
ker and Roosevelt, which neverthe-
less was almost 10000 more than that
cast for the presidential candidates
of the two parties four years ago.
The republicans gained one con-
eressman lin the third or Worcester
district), two senators and several
members of the house, and probably
elected the balance of the state tick
ct Including Curtis Guild, jr., lieuten-
ant governor, by pluralities ranging
from 10000 to 10000.
The new congressional delegation
will stand II republicans and three
democrats. The legislature, which
will elect two United States senators,
will stand in the upper branch, "a
republicans and democrats, and I'D
the lower. 16S republicans, II demo-
Gratis and / independent
For the first time in several years
there will be no socialist in the leg
islature.
Massachusetts never witnessed any
thing like this before. The late VIII
liam f. RusseN's plurality never ex-
ceeded 5000. In 1892. when the Cleve.
land landslide took place, Russeli
barely squeezed in by about 2,500,
while Harrison carried the state by
2s 600. This Russell victory was un-
doubtedly due largely to his great
personal popularity. Even IN tne
great overturn in 1874. the late WIZ
liam CASTOR had only about 1000 over
Thomas Talbot. General Butler car

The General Result.

The General Result.
Revised election returns from the 40
states show that great as were the
recorded for Iheooore
Roosevelt Tuesday night from every
state which had been classeu as
doubtful. they were increased by ad-
ditional and completed returns Weu-
nesday. No such pluralities have ever
heen known in a presidential election.
They far exceed those given to VIII
liam Mckinley in the election OF 1890
The nopular vote cast for Mr.. Mckin-
sev in that year, the largest ever CIV
en- for a presidential candidate up 70
that time, was 6,502,925. With piu-
ralities which exceed 100000, 1t is
evident that Mr.. Roosevelt's popular
,,ote will run far ahead of that given
to Mr.. Mckinley. The high water
mark. 292. established by Mr.. Mckin-
Low in 1900 on the electoral vote Is
also completely submerged by tne
great Roosevelt tidal wave. Mr.. Roose-
Welt is certain of 343 votes in the eiec-
toral college. He obtains the ls eiec,
toral votes of Missouri, a total Oh o.
more than Mckinley had when rour
years ago he beat all the recoros ca
listing up to that time.
The Socialist Vote Increases.
One of the remarkable features OF
the election was the unexpectedly
sarge vote polled by the socials,s.
eugene V. Debs, the socialist candi-
date for president, received over 40
400 votes in the city of Chicago alone,
heing nearly double the vote polled by
the socialists in that city two years
ago. Everywhere the socialist vote
was largely increased.
The House Of Representatives.
Revised returns on the house of rep
resentatives show that the repupncaiis
will have 239 members and the DEM
ocrats 147 members, giving the repup-
licans a majority of 81.
New York State.
Roosevelt carries New York State
bv q nlurality of 175,2S7, according to
tbe hest figures obtainable. Parker
CARRIED hut four of the 61 counties
New York. Queens, Richmond ana
Scoharie.
Frank w. Higgins, republican nom,
inee for governor of New York VIII

Gins carried "a counties and Herrlck q
Parker's plurality over Roosevelt IN
Greater New York, with one eiectioI

nlurality over Higgins in the nVe DO
roughs is S0,7S4. Roosevelt ran 2l,2fl
ahead of Higgins, and Parker ran 2S'-
494 behind Herrick.
Missouri Elects Folk.
Although Roosevelt has probably
carried Missouri. the latest reports IN
dicate that Joseph w. Folk, the demo-
cratic candidate for governor mas
pulled through owing to the large
ma iorities that were given for nm II
the cities. despite the fact that they
went republican on the national tick,

A Laughing Game.

This is one OF the jolliest impromptu
games that we know Of. We mean by
impromptu that it requires no prepara-
ton whatever, but may be played by 3
roOmful of boys and girls the moment it
is suggested. And il is brimful OF fun
from start to finish.
Any number Of players may take part
IN it. They first select a leader, who
should be a bright. alert, quick-witted
boy. who is capable of preserving his
self-possession while fun and laughter
are going on all around him.
The players seat themselves IN a cir
Gle, and the leader takes his place in the
center. He holds in his hand a white
handkerchief. which he has knotted so
as to make it partly solid.
When everything is ready the leader
losses the handkerchief up IN the air.
and then every player must begin
laughing But they must all stop laugh
ing by the time the handkerchief reaches
the floor. and II anyone does not stop
and the leader catches him either
laughing or smiling he imposes a for
felt or a fine.
Or. instead of making the detected
laughter pay q forfeit, ne may be re-
quired to drop out OF the circle. II
played in this way the players drop out
one after another. until only one Is left,
and that one wins the prize
