She Wanted a Book.

A f~ashionably dressed young woman
came hurryillg int a bookstore re-
Gently and approached Il salesman with
the statement: II want TO get q book
it's a red book-not very thick. No. ]
don't know the name of it or what it
is about. because | haven't read it. Il

at least l think it is q picture-it is
something round, done in gilt. 1t may

Il wish you would hurry and hunt up
the book, because 1 am taking Il train
to New York and | want it to read on
the trip. l saw some one reading it
on the train the other day and laugh
Ing over it, and that's why / want it.
"Of course l am not expected to
know what it is, but l should think any
one who knew books and was handling
them all the time ought to know!
mo, l don't think it was either of
those books-it was thicker than that
one and more on the cerise shade than
that one.
"Well, 1 can't wait any longer for
you to hunt it up"
AS the young woman passed out of
the shop she turned to her companion
and remarked audibly: Strange how
stupid some Of these clerks are! Well.

Mirrors as Detectives.

1T is not solely to please the lady
patrons said an interior decorator,
that mirrors SO abound in shops. They
serve another and more important pur-
pose. They help detect shoplifters.
If you should study the various watch
ers in the employ of big retail stores
you would find that they don't watch
the patrons directly. They look at
their reflections in the mirrors. OF
course their watching done that way is
unperceived. The shoplifter glances at
the watcher, sees that his back is to
her and secretes a pair of silk stock
ings in her shirt waist. The next mo-
ment she feels an unfriendiy and ter
rifying tap on her shoulder, and the
watcher, who has caught her by the
mirrors aid, bids her sternly to ac-
company him to the office.'-New York

incidental Music.

One afternoon a couple from an adj
joining town presented themselves to
a Boston divine and asked to be mar
ried just as he was about to enter the
pulpit to conduct an afternoon service.
The minister replied that he regretted
that he could not at that moment com
ply with their wish, but that immedi-
ately upon the conclusion OF the serv-
Ice he would take pleasure in perform
ing the ceremony. The lovers, after
demurring, seated themselves in the
rear of the church. When the minister
had finished the service he made the
following announcement: "The parties
who are to be joined in matrimony will
present themselves at the chancel i'm
mediately after the singing of hymn
415, Mistaken Souls That Dream of
Heavenv"

The financial furry is calling
forth many plans for creating an
emergency currency, but most of
the plans proposed have too much
resemblance to the old "wild cat"
currency to be very popular. This
is especially true Of most Of the
plans proposed by the bankers
association. They would permit
national banks to issue an emer-
gency currency based upon their
capitalization, but this would sim
ply be an extra liability placed
upon the assets of the banks while
in most cases these assets are all
needed for the protection of depos-
itors. II such An issue is to be
permitted by the banks it wonld
seem as though it should be limited
to the amount of their surplus and
profits.

A Wonderful Creature.

The polyp is the most remarkable
creature on earth. If cut ~transversely
or longitudinally into several parts,
each will become a perfect animal.
Trembly turned them inside out and
they ate and enjoyed themselves as
much as ever. He slit two Longitude

united them into two animals. He
divided two transversely and created
N with two heads. He pushed one
down the throat Of another, a third
down the throat of the second, and thus
formed a creature with three heads.

PaternaI Duties.

Modern life with its haste and
hustle leaves too little time for the
joys of fatherhood. One father comes
home late from business, tired and
peeyish, and cannot devote much time
to his children, even if he would. An
other has had enough of the cares and
worries Of the day and seeks dissipa-
ton outside the home. Yet fathers
can give their children something bet
ter than money; they can give them
selves.-Deutsche Monatschrift.

[By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

IBy Telegraph 10 The Tribunel
Cleveland. Nov. 5.-The reelection of Tom L.
Johnson as Mayor over Congressman Theodore
E. Burton was conceded at 10 o'clock tonight
by Republican leaders. The most conservative
OF the men who backed Mr.. Burton in his spec
tacuar battle put Mayor Johnson's plurality at
from 5000 to 5000. as compared with 1900
by which he won his third term over w. H.
Boyd, two years ago.
With Mayor Johnson IL is conceded that
Democratic majority Of the City Council is
elected. giving him mastery of the city legis
lative body, which will make him dictator of the
traction situation. which alone figured In the
contest
At midnight the official count in 130 out Of
the 244 precincts give Mr.. Johnson 23.99O and
Mr.. Burton 20.439.
Despite the fact that early returns indicated
that he was not making the required gain Of
fifty votes to a precinct. Congressman Burton
reiterated his belief that he would be elected.
His secretary T. f. Cassidy. late $50
o'clock, when the gains for Mr.. Burton were
only fourteen TO a precinct. predicted his chiefs
election by 1000. At the same time Mayor John
son cut his afternoon prediction of $1,000 plu-
rality to 5000
The Republican leaders abandoned hope
though, when the sixty-six precincts equipped
with voting machines reported their vote. These
precincts SCATTERED throughout the city In such
a manner as TO give accurate line on the
situation ga !e Mr.. Burton gain Of only twen-
ty-eight votes to the precinct Later the per-
centage of Republican gain crept up TO thirty
hve to a precinct. So tenaciousy did Mr. Bur-
ton and his personal supporters cling to the be-
lief that the enormous poll of $4,000 votes meant
his election that the Congressman refused to
give up hope until the last
''My belief in the victory Of the peoples cause
has been justified" said Mayor Johnson, with a
smile He would not say anything Of his de-
creased plurality.
The popular interest in the fight which began
with Mr. Burtons reluctant consent to enter the
race when he was called in the name Of his
,arty, was exhibited in the great crowds which
gathered in the streets before the newspaper Of
fees, even as early as noon.
Besides the Mayor and majority Of the City
Council the Democrats have elected all their
other candidates, except three members of the
School Board who probably will be Repubn-

After Timothy L. Woodruff had heard from
slightly more than half OF the election districts
in Brooklyn at 10 o'clock last night he pre-
dicted victory for the entire Republican ticket.
Woodruff said the remaining districts were
mostly Republican. and that the returns from
them were slow in coming in because OF the
number of split tickets. He thought that the
only doubtful man on the Republican ticket
was Hirsh. who he said would probably re-
ceive about the same number OF votes as Dixie.

Pat" McCarren said:
II decline to make any statement regarding
