LITTLE MANS LONG SILENCE

brief thanks, no word could be goi
out OF him.
AS soon as the boat locked he
found his way to the Office of the
broker where he knew his father
made his headquarters. His father
turned pale at the sight of him, and
tremblingly asked il anything had
happened at home.
No, father"
The father then asked, somewhat
STORMY, what had brought him there.
The boy answered by shaking his
head. Il cant tel til we are alone,
he whispered.
When his father took him into o
private office. he shut the door and
locked It. Taking OF his coat ne
showed his dazed father where to rip

little chap had a good time after that

But through 1t there rolled not the breath
of his pride;
And Lhe foam of his gasping lay White
On the turf.
And cold as the spray of the rock-beat-

And there lay the rider distorted and

with the dew on his brow and the rust
on his mail;
And the tents were all silent. the ban

The lanccs unified, the trumpet UNI

Hath melted like snow I'm the glance Of

NORTH DAKOTA.
Final Outcome Shows that Burke and
Fisk are Elected.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 1o.-The political
situation has changed little within the
last twenty-four hours. The Democrats
still claim the election of their entire
state ticket, occasional leaders doubling
whether all have pulled through. The
Republicans concede the defeat of Sarles
for governor and Knauf for supreme
court judge, but have the greatest conf
dence in the election Of the rest of the
ticket.
The scratching was done on Sarles
and Knauf. In Cass county all the rest
of the state ticket had majorities rang
ing from 600 to 1900 votes Sarles had
less than 200 and Knauf was beaten bv
more than 1000.
In Ward county the rest of the state
ticket ran from 600 to LOO ahead of
Sarles. Smaller counties report approxi-
matelY the same percentage and the
Republican leaders believe that unless
Burke gets 5000 or more majority over
Sarles he. will be unable to pull the
other candidates through.
The actual returns still are DELAYED
in many counties. One is still missing
; in Cass county, with all the railroad
facilities at hand. In MANY counties
queries for figures are answered BY
the statement that outlying districts have
not yet reported.
Burke's majority over Sarles is placed
at from 5000 to $500 and that of Fisk
over Knauf from 5000 to\o,ooo.

Squirrel Robs the Mail.

Winona- robbing Of the United
States mail by squirrel was a most
unusual incident which occurred in
this city.
Martin Daszkowski, one of the oldest
mail carriers in the city, was on his
regular rounds and had among his mail
to be delivered an advertising card to
which was attached a large walnut, in
side of which was the matter adver-
tised. A little squirrel, of which there
are many in Winona, seeing the nut,
jumped upon Mr.. Daszkowski's Shout
der and running down his arm with
lightning speed took the nut and card
from his hand, and then climbed a
nearby tree where it Investigated the
contents Of the nut.
Fortunately, upon discovering that
the nut was not the kind it wanted,
the squirrel dropped it and the card
without damaging either, and they
were later delivered to the proper ad-
dress. The squirrels of Winona are
tame and frequently climb upon pedes-
TRANS shoulders looking for nuts or
other food.

Queer Case.


Duluth-The wall Of an infant on a
marble slab in the dead room of a
local undertaking establishment this
morning amazed those who heard it,
for the little one had been brought in
the night before to be prepared for
burial, and none but dead persons were
supposed to occupy the slabs contained
there
The infant it seems, was not dead
when taken to the establishment, but
it had appeared dead, and when
brought in the usual arrangements had
been made for the burial to take place
later.
The infant was boy about three
weeks old. The child is now in st.
Mary's hospital, in an incubator, and
DR.. Robert Graham has hopes Of it's
recovery despite the terrible exposure
of ten hours in the chill of an under
takers dead ROOM, but it finally died.
Suicide.
Cloquet-Determined to make Ger
tain his attempt to end his existence,
Philip Smith, aged sixty years, weight
ed his body with heavy stones, waded
into the river at the dam a short dis
lance northeast of here and fired a
bullet into his head.
Death probably was instantaneous
and the body sank at once to the bot
tom Of the river, where the stones
kept it weighted down until two boys
playing about the dam yesterday dis
covered it. They notified others and
the body was pulled out Of the water.
Smith 6iSa nnearad from his h0m
two weeks ago, and it is apparent that
he had been dead that length of time.
The revolver with which the shooting
was done was found at the bottom Of
the river near where the body lay.
Smith was dyspeptic and had become
respondent over his inability to obtain
relief from his affliction. He is sur
vived by a widow and three children.
