majority Of the others averaged three
thousand.
Besides showing the unabated con-
fidence OF Birmingham I'm Mr.. Cham,
berlain, the results there go also 10
confirm what already has been noticed
in isolated contests, that the candi-
date who openly professed projections
list leanings had good support and I'm
some cases We're victorious.
The outcome at Birmingham AZ
fords a striking contrast. While Mr..
BalfOur stands discredited as a
leader, Mr.. Chamberlain issues from
the contest with flying colors
Many Of today's polls will not be
declared until tomorrow, but those
published tonight show that the Lib
eral side still runs strong. London
has gone distinctly Liberal, no less
than twelve seats showing Liberal
gains. While the total gains OF the
Liberals for today number %, the
Unionists have made only one solitary
gain.
The members already elected are
distributed as follows:
Liberals 167; Unionists 13: Labor
ties 81: Nationalists 90
Birmingham, England, January IL.
Birmingham today remained true to
Joseph Chamberlain, electing all of
his candidates in the seven districts.
The Liberals had been optimistically
expecting that the results throughout
the country would affect Birmingham,
but even the Liberal sweep was not
able to overcome Mr.. Chamberlain's
great personal popularity.
Immense crowds stood for hours I'm
City hall square awaiting the results.
When the figures We're presented there
was tremendous cheering The en-
thusiasm indicated the anxiety OF Bir-
mngham to send Mr. Chamberlain
bark to parliament with a solid
Unionist contingent
Mr.. Chamberlain himself did not
come to the city hall tonight but re-
ceived the returns at his home His
majority was 5000. Enthusiastic
crowds are parading the streets to-
night.

lot. The vote stood: Fallieres 449;
Domer 81; scattering %.
The national assembly met this af-
ternoOn in the congress hall of the
royal palace at Versailles for the
election. The greatest interest was
manifest in the proceedings. which
however, were very prolonged. The
members of the assembly votel in al
phabetical order
Cheers were raised whenever pop
ular legislator or statesman deposited
his ballot in the urn, each group ap-
plauding its leaders and hoOting the
leaders Of the opposing group. Several
aged senators, who were obviously ill,
received the assistance of the ushers
when mounting the tribune. Finally
silence proclaimed the end of the bal
loting and all present eagerly awaited
the announcement Of the result Then
when the first figures-M Fallieres
446, and NJ. Doumer 371-were given
out, there was an outburst of enthu-
siastic applause which was renewed
after the corrected figures, giving NJ.

already clear majority, were an
nounced.
NJ. Fallieres returned to Paris from
Versailles escorted by a military

ton to a simple country life. When

his birth place, Meznia, the home of
his ancestors through hundreds of
years.
In his youth the president elect ap-
parently gave no indication of capac-
ity for a brilliant future, and it is
even said that III his school days he
was somewhat IindOlent. However,
he succeeded in taking degrees in let
ters and in the sciences, and as a
student at law passed creditable ex-
aminations.
After concluding his term as a law
student. NJ. Fallieres returned home
and for sometime seemed to justify
the prediction of his father that he
would not be successful in his career.
However, he plunged suddenly into
work, became a close student, soon
obtained official appointments, enter
ed politics and made that rapid pro-
gress which has just resulted in his
selection as head Of the French re-
public.

is the son of magistrates clerk and
is the grandson of blacksmit
He has been president of the SEN
ate and has held four cabinet port
foliOs

the religious question opposing at
first the proposition for the separa-
ton Of church and state but later en-
ergeticaNy advocated the repression
of the clergy

Consul William Bardel writes from
Bambery that Engineer Balderauer,
Of Salzberg, has invented balloon
railroad, experiments with which are
now being made in the mountains In
the neighborhood of that German city.
Il consists Of q stationary balloon,
which is fastened to a slide running
along a single steel rail. The rail is
fastened to the side OF a steep noun
tain, which ordinary railroads could
not climb, except through deep cuts
and tunnels. The balloon Is to float
about IS feet over the ground, and
a heavy steel cable connects it with
the rail. The conductor can, at will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side of the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas, while the descent Is
caused by pressure OF water, which
is poured into q large tank at the up
per end of the road, and which serves
as ballast. Suspended from the bal
loon is a circular car with room for
ten passengers. The cable goes from
the bottom of the balloon through the
center of the car to regulator Of
speed. which is controlled by the con-
ductor. The inventor Of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out OF existence.

The Automobiles were out, far out,

them. An air perfumed with turf
and flower scents famed their cheeks.
The land was dotted with sheep,
which a shepherd guarded, attended
by shaggy and wise shepherd dog.
THE use of a shepherds crook?
Why" she said, cit is staff. sup
port, isn't it?"
But the crook-the crook handle
that is what I'm speaking of. What
is the use Of that crook handler" he
repeated.
She did not know. No one knew.
He called the young shepherd.
These ignorant people," he said,
don't know why shepherd always
carries a crook. Show them what a
crook is used for"
The shepherd smiled, and, approach
q sheep, he hooked the crook around
its hind leg, and drew 1t to him.
He hooked another Sleeps hind leg,
another's, another's. In a minute OF
two he had hooked a dozen sheep.
That's wot a shepherds crook Is

The Things We Eat.

Too much meat is absolutely hurt
full to the body. Sailors on board Of
ships get scurvy when their supply of
vegetable food Is exhausted. The di-
gestive organs Of the human body de-
mand vegetable food, and if we don't
eat enough vegetables we pay for it
dearly.
Nature gave US wheat, and in every
kernel of wheat nature has distrib-
uted iron, starch, phosphorus, lime,
sugar, salt and other elements neces-
sary to make bone, blood and muscle.
EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically
prepared. Cooked, and made into
crisp flakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the
stomach ready for the digestive or
gans to convert it into life-giving SUBJ
stances with but little effort.
EGG-O-SEE eaters are clean-eyed,
strong and happy lot. The proof Of a
pudding and the proof of EGG-O-SEE
Is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides

atable. Every mouthful is a Joy to
the taste and direct benefit to your

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for a Clergyman.

A minister Of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: "Some years ago
1 had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe which left me in a COM
plete state of collapse and I suffered
for some time with nervous prostra-
ton. My appetite failed, I lost flesh
till l was mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me, lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save
my precious wife.
Then on the recommendation Of
some friends I began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time / was a mis-
cradle skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room;
had ugly dreams at night, no disposi.
ton to entertain or be entertained and
began to shun society.
81 finally gave up the regular minis
try, indeed could not collect my
thoughts ON any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After l had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for short
time 1 discovered that I was taking
on new life and my appetite began to
improve; I began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily; I had
lost some so pounds, but under the
new food regime l have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.
81 feel that I owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require powerful re-
building agent, delicious to taste and
always welcome"

Not Captured.

Eveleth-Despite the report from
Hibbing to the contrary, Angelo Clan

have murdered his fellow countryman
Basilo Romano, and to have attempted
to kill Bruno Gervasso, on July 4, is
still at large. Upon several
occasions the local authorities were
of the opinion that they were in
reaching distance, but they were not
actually able to make the capture. 1t

him constantly advised of the officers
