DEMOCRATS MAD GAINS
Increase in the Number Of Congress-
men.

mCu'
While Mr.. Bryan was defeated.
the Democrats achieved victories IN
several of the States that are sure
to bring fruit in the immediate years
to come. Here are some OF them:
Colorado elected the entire State
ticket, and the Legislature, which
will select Hughes, Democrat, to
succeed Teller in the y. S. Senate.
In Nebraska the entire State tick
ct, a majority Of the Legislature,
and several new Congressman were
! elected.
In Iowa Republicans were defeat,
ed for Congress, among them being
the veteran Pete Hepburn, one of
the leaders Of his party.
In Minnesota John Johnson was
reelected for the third term, with
Taft getting an $4,000 majority.
This breaks a precedent, for no mar
has ever before held the Governor
ship three terms.
In Indiana the entire State ticket
was elected, a Democratic Leglsla-
ture that will probably choose John
W. Kern to succeed Senator Hem
enway, and eleven out of thirteen
Congressman.
In North Dakota Governor Burke,
Democrat, was reelected.
All through the West and Middle
West there was a large gain in the
Democratic vote.
So far as the doubtful States are
concerned IN the Presidential race,

On the other hand, while Bryan
carried Missouri by a safe margin,
the election of Herbert S. Hadley,
the Republican candidate for Gov.

the Republicans will control the

of the most remarkable political
campaigns in the history OF the re-
public.
William Jennings Bryan of
Nebraska, the Democratic candi-
date, went down in the third defeat
of his life's ambition to occupy the
White House. Returns received
up to s a. m. to-day indicated that
Mr.. Taft would have at least 298
electoral votes, and as the details
come in increasing f~ullness from
the West, it began to look as if the
figures might reach the 325 mark
claimed as assured to him in the
ante. election foreca4|of Chairman

said westerner, 'tand watched with
interest the poker play. From saloon

But as he looked on at a poker
game that had no limit the tenderfoot-
suddenly frowned. He had seen the
dealer slip himself four aces from the
bottom of the pack.
"Gracious powers" whispered the
tenderfoot, excitedly clutching the

A Wasp Nurse.

A story Of how one wasp cared for
another that had been injured is told
by gentleman who, while reading the
newspaper, felt bothered by the buzzing
Of a wasp about his head and knocked
it down. 1t fell through the open win
dow and lay on the sill as il dead.
A few seconds afterward, to his
great surprise, a large wasp few to
the window sill and, after buzzing
around his wounded brother for few
minutes, began to feel him all over.
The injured wasp seemed to revive
under this treatment, and his friend
then dragged him gently to the edge
grasped him around the body and flew
away with him. 1t was plain that the
stranger, finding wounded comrade
gave him aid; as well as he could and
then bore him away home.-London M

FEAR IN BATTLE.
Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid.

Some of the greatest soldiers whose
names adorn history's pages entered
their first battles with feeling Of fear
In their hearts. -.
Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at the battle of Molwitz. Had
he not been king it is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat Of the car
mage he got aA idea that the army un-
der his command was being over
whelmed, so he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed head4ong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
be stopped in his wild fight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill, awaiting. as be thought, cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discover
ed that the army he deserted had won
the battle.
AS Frederick was prince. every
body tried to forget the incident just
rs quickly as possible. And after that
when the king went to war he was

between the two sometimes suggests
amusing complications.
An enumerator in Iowa reported
"drunkard" as the occupation Of one
Of his men. The census bureau en-
tered him as IN. Co." since the next
column asserted this to be his occupa-
ton for twelve months in the year.
A New York enumerator who
seemed to evince the inclinations of a
detective reported several men In his
district as Crooks" "pickpockets"
and gamblers They were entered
as IN. g." although their occupations
may have been more gainful to them
than to their victims.

JUST as brave as any other soldier.

=
General Grant in his memoirs tells
us that, despite the fact that he was
not new to the ways of war, he had a
strange fear In his heart when as com
mander of the Union forces he found
himself on the eve of his first battle
Of the civil war. He adds, however,
that he came to find that "the other
fellow" had q similar feeling.
In American history there is no more
reckless warrior than the dashing Light
Horse Harry Lee. 1t seems strange.
therefore, to find that at the outset of
the Continental struggle Washington
had to reprove him for his prudence
in battle. Lee, though, up and told
Washington that he was just as brave
as the general in chief, and he madf
good his word.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

A Humorist Who Draws a Moral From
Thoir Silence.

I0iT 0iiCDSCs
1t is said that In Korea after a ma
tive woman is welded she becomes
practically speechless, says Newton
Newkirk In the Boston Post. This is
In conformity to custom and caste.
A Korean wife does not after mar
rage become absolutely mute, but
she does not speak unless snecessi-
ty demands it. And, by the way,
II none of us talked any more
than necessity demanded this world
would be full Of large chunks Of 81
lence. The Korean wife does not chat
ter like parrakeet. Hot air. Is some
thing In which she does not deal. OF
course If the house got on fire she
would mention it, or If she were to
step on a snake she wouldn't try to
keep the fact secret, but she does not
talk over the back fence when she Is
bringing in the wash or converse with
her neighbor when she Is washing the
windows. If she did, she would lose
her caste and her social rating would
slump faster than copper stock.
Probably many q brutal husband
who reads these lines will sigh and
say, "Ah, that my wife were Ko-
reanw There has an impression got
abroad in this land Of the free and the
home of the CRATER that our women
are endless and tiresome takers In
the eyes Of the masses the American
wife holds the long distance record as
continuous conversationalist. And
upon this impression Jests and Jokelets
are freely built. The eternally talking
wife. is prolific source Of inspiration
for comic weeklies and the vaudeville
stage. Two comedians come down
front and, with their noses touching
each~0ther, engage In a rapid fire con
versation:

to your house! How much did you pay

But If the wife is voluble Of speech
is her husband sphinx? If a woman
is human photograph, is man"t
clam? Not exactly-not so that yot
could notice it from the road through
the binoculars. Most Of the husbands
who like to joke about the waggint
tongues Of their wives are living ex
Founders Of the hot air theory. They
are the chaps who have nothing to sa!
