WINNING THE IMAM on THE FENCE"

Mr.. Coles chances of election
brighten as the close of the cam
paign draws near. 1t might
have been said three months ago
that Johnson's election was prob
able; two months or one month
ago it might have been said that
Coles election was doubtful; but
now the men who make some
pretensions to forecasting elec-
ton results have named the re.
publican nominee as a winner; by
comparatively small plurality,
perhaps, but still a winner.
The deciding factor in deter
mining the fight has been the un-
firing efforts of Mr.. Cole himself.
He started out the campaign
with everything against him.
There was a general apathy all
over the state, men did not seem
to care who was governor; and he
was practically an unknown,
while his opponent had built up
wide circle of friends and &C.
quaintances extending into every
nook and corner Of Minnesota. Ct
Mr.. Coles task was to stir the
voters from their Indifference,
creating a party sentiment de-
handing a republican governor;
and to gain an acquaintance with
the people IN every part of the
state which would in a measure
offset the personal popularity of
the democratic nominee.
How successful the Walker
man has been in performing this
task is told by the dispatches
from the towns where he has
spoken in the last few weeks
He seems to be leaving a trail of
republican ard Cole enthusiasm
behind him wherever he goes.
Mr.. Coles achievement is in
converting the doubling repu bli.
can, the man who voted for John
son last election and is not quite
sure what he wants to do this
election. Hundreds of these are
coming back into the republican
ranks wherever Mr.. Cole is
speaking. And these are tie
men he is after; he does not need
the democratic or ultra-Jo hnson
repub llcan to win.

The Game Of Craps.

The game Of 'craps" is an old one
Is the word itself a corruption Of the
French "creps," favorite game in the
gambling halls of the Palais Royal in
the eighteenth century? Bescherelle
says it was a game played with dice
and of English origin; that the name
was sometimes written 'krabs" and
the word was spoken when one sue
ceeded in throwing 2, 3, IL or IL at
the first cast. English dictionaries shed
little light on the subject, and we do
not remember any allusion to the game

century.-Boston Herald.

The EuuinOxea.

1.-THE popular belief that storms are
more frequent about the time of the
equinox or when the sun crosses the
line in March and September, re-
ceives some slight degree of support
from the investigations of European
SCIENTISTS" states an expert of the
weather bureau I'm southwestern
Europe March is the stormiest month,
while in the British islands and Nor
way January takes the lead in that
respect; but, considering Europe as a
whole, it appears that storms prepon-
derate near the seasons of the equi-
noxes." >-..s' ~..s.4.. ---.-

Shetland Wool.

A curious historical legend is con-
nected with Shetland wool. Over 300
years ago a. man-of-war belonging to
the Spanish armada was wrecked eon
one of the islands. The sailors who
escaped taught the natives to make
brilliant dyes from roots which they
found, resembling those used for like
purposes In Spain. Those persons who
now wear bright Shetland knit "com-
forters' are unconsciously wearing me-
mentos of the 'invincible" armada.

How Tree. Ara n.1.rc.a

A tree grows in perfect balance on
every side. When large branch
shoots out on one side, one Of equal
size or two smaller appear on the other.
The roots are balanced in the same
way, large branch on one side being
matched by a large root. The center
OF gravity is thus always perfectly
maintained.
