Better Than SONG.

A workingman, fond Of his pint OF
beer on Saturday night, got very mud
dled sometimes. Knowing that his
wife on such occasions searched his
pockets, he when not too far gone.
used to secrete his money in various
places, and 1t often happened that the
next morning he could not remember
the hiding place. He had canary
which used to hang in front of the
window. One Sunday morning he was
sitting looking at the bird when a
neighbor looked In and inquired If he
would sell It. AS the bird was not
much use for singing, he reached the
cage down for his neighbor to look at,
whereupon his wife got very angry
and hung up the cage again.
II will not have that bird sold on any
account" she exclaimed II don't care
naught about it being a poor singer.
for it's laid many a sixpence and a
shilling, and now it's begun to lay half
crowns"
Then it's owner realized where some
Of his hidden treasures had gone

It may be that these unofficial
figures contain errors that will
materially effect the result, al.
though this is mere speculation.
The presum ption is that they
are correct.
At any rate the election is
going to be SO close that re-
count will probably be demanded
by the loser, and contest is not
unlikely.
The day has been an extremely
anxious one for both sides. Mr..
Hazen and his friends still have
hopes of winning out, and refuse
to concede anything. Sheriff
Bailey, on the other hand, is con-
tident of the result, and believes
that the precincts yet to be
heard from are, with one or two
or possibly three exceptions,

DANCING.

Gracefulness Is Of course the highest
object of the dance among all peoples,
but their conceptions of what consti-
tutes grace differ widely. According
to student of dancing, who has wit
messed tens OF thousands Of dances in
all parts Of the world, who has pene-
trated to the interior of Africa and the
desolate mountains Of western China,
there are three dances that, to his
way of thinking, are equal In beauty.
In grace and in the poetry Of motion.
These are the dances Of the Javanese
Mohammedans, especially the love
dance" In which only the younger wo-
men participate; the tarantella of
Christian Italy and the butterfly dance
Of Japan. That dancing loses in poetry,
In fire, in meaning, as civilization in
creases is the belief of this student of
the art The modern dances Of clviliz-
cd nations, especially as expounded on
the stage, are not only meaningless and
lacking in the beauty Of the original
dance, but actually degenerate and
merely physical contortions that. while
they may be rhythmic and graceful
are as insipid and as meaningless as
the waddle of duck.-C Chicago Trib.

Well. a. weather Prophets,

A popular idea in Switzerland that
some Of the wells in that country are
reliable weather prophets has been
proved by scientists to be well found
ed. These wells, by some sort of pres
sure, not clearly understood, have the
property Of drawing In air at certain
times and Of blowing out air at other
periods. In order to ascertain definite
ly If there was any truth in the idea
Of weather prophecy the wells were
covered and small opening was sur
mounted with q shaped pressure
gauge. It was found that when the
barometer rises the air rushes into the
wells in a steady current, and when
the barometer falls the air rushes out.
The currents Of air are definite and
easy to perceive, even without the
gauge. The general tendency Of the
weather Is foretold with considerable

Aepubllcans Elect State Ticket In
Pennsylvania.


Philadelphia, Nov. S.-The reform
movement in Philadelphia and
throughout Pennsylvania inaugurated
last year as result of the Philadel-
phia gas lease received severe blow
At the election. The Fusion party, op-
posed to the regular Republicans, was
either badly defeated or had it's last
years vote greatly reduced. Stuart,
Republican candidate for governor
against Emery, Jr., Fusion, ran very
strong everywhere and his plurality
may reach $4,000. Last year the Flu
sionists carried the state for State
Treasurer Berry by plurality of 49,
OOO The other candidates on the Re.
publican state ticket were elected by
pluralities slightly under that OF Stu,
art. The principal fight in the city
was made for the Office of district at
torney The leaders of the City party,
which had effected fusion with the
Democrats and Prohibitionists on the
local ticket, felt certain that D. Clar-
ence Gibboney, their candidate for
district attorney, would win, but the
figures show that Samuel P. Rotan,
his Republican opponent, carried the
city by 1924.
The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, which entered the political field
for the first time in this state, will be
represented in the next congress by
two of the officers of the organization
and in the legislature by about half
dozen members of the union, all of
whom were candidates on the Demo
cratic ticket.

BABCoCK LOSES HIS SEAT
GAIN OF ONE CONGRESSMAN By
DEMOCRATS ONLY CHANGE
IN WISCONSIN.

milwaukee,, Nov. S.-A gain of one
congressman by the Democrats is the
only change in the political complex
ion of Wisconsin over two years ago.
This change is the defeat of Congress-
man Joseph w. Babcock in the Third
district by James W. Murphy by
plurality of several hundred votes.
The state returns indicate the cleo
ton of Governor James o. Davidson
(Rep.) by plurality of at least 60, 900.
The legislature is overwhelmingly Re-
publican.
The defeat of Congressman Babcock
was due to the cutting of him by the
Republicans, as Governor Davidson
ran over 1000 votes ahead of him. La
Toilette adherents made q strong cam
paign against Babcock.
The election of district attorney in
the victory by about 100 votes of
Francis E. McGovern, the Independent
Republican, attracted more general in
terest perhaps than any other contest
in the state. McGovern belongs to
the La Toilette wing and was defeat
ed at the primaries for the nomination
by Frank X Boden. It was Claimed
by McGovern's friends that his defeat
for the nomination was brought about
by the aid of Democratic votes and
after long consideration he consented
to run as an independent. Senator
La Toilette made four speeches in
McGovern's behalf and each of the
four candidates made a most strenu-
GUS campaign. Thiel, the SocialDem-
ocrat, was a close second, Boden, the
regular Republican, running about
1,40O behind.
A peculiar incident of tho election
was the success of a colored man,
Lucien H. Palmer, who was elected to
the state assembly as a Republican
over Thomas F.: Ramsey, Dem, in the
Sixth district by plurality of sixty
seven votes. It is said to be the first
time that a colored man has been
elected to the legislature in Wiscon-
sin.

CLOSE CALL FOR CUMMINS
If REELECTED GOVERNOR OF
IOWA IT WILL BE By RE-
s-. -~..
DUCED MAJORITY.

Des Moines, Nov. S.-Reports from
about half the counties of the state
received at Republican headquarters
indicate that the Republicans carried
the state for the entire ticket. Chair
man Woods says that all the late re-
ports increase the plurality for the
head of the Republican ticket and his
latest estimate is that Cummins will
have more than $4,000 plurality. At
the Democratic headquarters the claim
Is made that reports show Porter will
have a plurality of less than 5000.
There is no doubt of the election of
Hamilton, Dem, to congress in the
Sixth district, but the First district is
still in doubt. yss ~. a..

EssARY TO DECIDE MINOR
STATE CONTESTS.
HEARST RAN BEHIND ASSOCIATES
LATTER SECURED PLuRALlTIEs
IN GREATER NEW YORK OF
ABOUT 100000.

New York, Nov. 8.-Revised returns,
some of them based on estimates, indi-
cate a plurality of about $4,000 for
Hughes above the Bronx This would
make his plurality in the state about
10000. Hearst's total plurality in
Greater New York, as indicated by
the unofficial returns, was 1886 Mr..
Hearst also polled GAL plurality in two
up state counties.
M. Linn Bruce, the Republican can
!didate for lieutenant governor, seems
to have been elected over Lewis Stuy-
vesant Chanler, Democratic and hide
pendence league nominee. The COM
jplete returns have been received from
only eighteen counties outside of
Greater New York. OF these twelve
give Bruce larger plurality than
Hughes, placing him about $500 votes
ahead Of his ticket. In the six coun-
ties in which Bruce lc st votes over
the head of the ticket the variations
in the vote were slight.
The results as to the subordinate
officers on the Republican and Demo
cratic tickets cannot be definitely
known until the official count. In
some counties it is stated that the
complete returns will not be available
for forty eight hours.
All the Democratic state candidates
ran far ahead of William R. Hearst in
Greater New York and their pluralities
there of approximately 100000 over
their Republican opponents may have
the effect Of overcoming the Repub-
loan lead in up state counties.

Washington, Nov. s. President
Roosevelt's appeal for a Republican
congress was not in vain With the
count still going on the result SO far
shows the election of PIG Republican
congressman and 1853 Democrats, with
four districts to hear from. The most
sanguine prediction put out by Chair
man Sherman previous to the election
was that the Republicans would re-
tain control of the house by fifty.

Gratis have gained twenty-four districts

publicans, as follows:
