Win Great Victory.

Rome, Nov.-General municipal cleo tions were held in this city Sunday, and it is declared throughout Rome that the Anti-clericals gained their greatest victory since the fall of the church from temporal power. Only municipal offices were filled, but the election assumed a distinct political character. Its importance was not on ly local, but extended all through Italy. The contest came as conclusion to the Anti-Clerical campaign, which had its beginning practically with the pres ent pontifcate, for the Clericals were then allowed for the first time to par ticipate in the political life of the coun- try. There was a reactionary move Inent among the Anti-Clerical element; some of them swung over from the Conservatives to the Socialists and the municipal elections in Rome were chosen as a battlefield. Defeat be- ing inevitable, the Clericals, for the first time since 1870, withdrew from the field and as a result, the Anti Clericals' victory was complete and without precedent The Vatican or gans maintain that the abstention of the Clerical votes was nothing more than a matter of tactics.

The Peaceful Cow.

She was even more afraid of cows than most girls, so when she spied a tree, peacefully chewing it's cud, she at first refused to go through the pas ture at all. Her husband calmed her fears to some extent, and they started by, when the COW slowly commenced to get up, hind legs first, as they all ways do. At this the little lady shrieked with terror, and said:

Saying "HeIIov to Heart Throbs.

Tt is a curious thing" said a prom inent lecturer recently, how some books have a strong radiating person ality. so that you feel like saying 'Howdy' every time you come across them. Last Christmas I visited friends back at the old home on the farm. When the supper dishes had been put away, the chores done and the evening lamp lighted we gathered beside the organ for a good old fashioned sing On the center table were strewn the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over them I suddenly ex- claimed Hello! my good friend, Hello!' and as the others looked up with surprise, I picked up a copy of Heart Throbs' and read to them from it's pages the piece I spoke in school 40 years ago.
 That was enough to set in motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Heart Throbs, and the music was for gotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bits of prose and verse that have been preserved in this wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way, suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every emotion. Next to my love of the Bible l love Heart Throbs. It is the most notable book of the times"

Filipnos Believe That Tafts Visit Will Aid In Securing Their Lib
 erty

Manila, Nov.-A feature of the visit of Secretary of War Taft to Manila was the presence of Auginaldo at sev eral of the functions, for the first time since his capture Discussing the probable results of the visit of MT Taft to Manila, he is reported as say ing
 Tt is my belief that the benefits to follow the visit to the Philippine peo- pie will be greater than they can rec ognize at the present time. I am at present unable to form an opinion off hand of the possible future advantages but am confident that it has done good. The inauguration of the assembly has gone long way to cement the friend ship of my people with the people of the United States. As a fulfillment of solemn promise, which many expect cd would not be fulfilled, the secretary of war did not bring independence for my people in his pocket, but he brought the means of attaining it. He told us how we can get it. The Filipin- os are thankful for the information and pleased at what the assembly has done, especially in the interests of leg islation, education and agriculture" :" President of the Assembly Osmena considers that the most important re- suits of the visit has been the harmon izing of the feeling between the Amer jeans and the Filipinos, and looks upon the assembly as having been the great est thing done yet. He is confident that much more has been accomplished than appears on the surface.
