stlll Susceptible.

He was a nervous, fidgety young
man, and he looked with considerable
apprehension at the woman next him,
who held a baby, its face covered with
Q thick veil. The baby gave now and
then a sharp cry, which the woman
evidently tried to suppress.
At last, after many anxious glances,
the young man spoke.
'Has--has that baby any-anything
contagious?" he asked.
The woman looked at him with q
mixture of scorn and pity.

Marriage Lenqthens Life.

II you desire to live to a good old
age you will do well to read what an
eminent doctor says on the subject.
He makes, first Of all, the bold state.
ment that anyone who desires to live
for four score and ten years should
get married. In other words, he
claims that conjugal life is necessary
condition of longevity Here are the
statistics which support this state
ment: OF 200 persons who have
reached the age of 40 years the doctor
found that 1875 were married and rs
unmarried. OF 10 men who had
reached the age of go years he found
that 48 were married and 20 unmar-
ried. He next took 38 men, each Of
whom was in his SEVENTEEN year, and
he found that ~ were married and II
unmarried.
Again the doctor has discovered that
the mortality among bachelors be-
tween the ages Of 30 and AZ is as
high as 81 per cent, whereas among
those who are married 1t does not ex-
coed Is per cent. It Is evident that
we must acknowledge the potency Of
these figures, and that, If we desire
to live to a good old age, we should
get married as soon as possible.

There had been a small bank failure
In an Iowa town. and the bank had
gone into the hands of a receiver. The
receiver proved to be dishonest, and
had absconded with what remained Of
the funds of the institution. Expert
detectives were, however, on his track.
and he was run down in q neighboring
state and taken back to the scene Of
his financial exploits.
II was about midnight that the de-
tectives arrived with their prisoner.
and q Mr.. Collins, the principal de-
positor in the bank, and, therefore, tho
principal loser. was awakened at his
home and informed by telephone Of the
capture.
He expressed his qualification and
went back to bed.
Shortly afterward he was aroused
TO receive another telephone message
to the same effect, from q different
source.
This sort Of thing continued to such
an extent that Collins grew very
wrathy; SO that, when he answered
the phone bell for the last time, he
was in anything but an amiable frame
of mind.

a pilgrimage Of devotion to the little

conductor on the Ocean Beach trolley
line can give minute instructions for
finding the Mansfield home and the
Mansfield grave, and very often they
are required to furnish it. Having
left the car line and climbed a hill on
Edgewood avenue, there still Is a
hot, dusty walk ahead on Ocean ave-

but many Mansfield admirer trudges
over 1t uncomplainingly. In the
lawns of the big estate gardeners are
at work who speak but little Eng

the language to direct the way to the
Mansfield house and the graveyard
opposite.
The gates Of the cemetery never are
locked. He who will may wander
among the few headstones near the
roadside, then back to the far corner
where Mansfield lies. There Is no
stone there. A double row Of dwarf
evergreens marks the boundaries Of
the plot. In the center is the grave.
It lies level with the earth, thick
growing pansies cover 1t, and at the
head is a bowl Of cut flowers which
are renewed each day. In that quiet

MaryIand'S Vote
Full OF SURPRISES

II was generally conceded that the
race for Maryland's electoral votees
was a neck and neck one. and no pro-
phet was entitled to pick the winner
The result hinged on Baltimore City
There was no doubt OF Bryans
strength in the rural districts, but
big cut on him was anticipated in the
city. Taft carried the city by about
1000.
In the counties. where the whole in
fluence and activity OF the Democratic
State organization was counting heav.
lily for the Democratic ticket and
where the ballot laws were counting
heavily against the Republican ticket,
many surprising results have been
brought about. Some OF the strong
est Republican sections have shown
astonishing SlumpS and some OF our
Republican Congressman have pulled
through by the skin OF the teeth. Col
Pearre in the Sixth District. has won
by narrow margin, the vote showing
heavy losses in many quarters. Four
years ago. Allegheny county gave
Roosevelt 1900 plurality; this year il
gives Taft only 900 and was carried by
bdNlu j. Lewis, ItTlDCTallC COUulQatc
for Congress. Garrett county was
the only one which did not show a Re-
publican slump, Bryan running sew
eral thousand votes better than he
ever did before II is said that many
of the Dunkards in the District. who
generally vote the Republican ticket
voted for Bryan because OF their ad-
miration for him as a preacher.
Another close call was for Con.
gressman Mudd in the Fifth Dostrict
His plurality in the District is only 3s4,
compared with a plurality OF 1898,
which he received four years ago.
Covington defeats Jackson over

by about the same majority.

Vote In The First
Confessional District

The vote in the First Congressional
District goes TO fulfil the claims OF the
Democrats that their party was united
and aggressive as it had not been be-
fore in many years. Covington's ma
iority over Jackson is phenomenal
one and Bryan ran we'll up with the
Congressional nominee The expla-
nation OF the situation generally given
is that Covington made an especially
thorough and vigorous canvass, and at
the, same time was aided by the strong.
est men OF his party in the State. At
the same time Uncle Bill Jackson
seemed TO be more or less Indifferent
to the outcome. The result is shown
by great Republican losses in all the
counties Talbot a concededly Re.
publican county, was carried by Gov
ington by over 200. Dorchester, where
Republican majority OF 400 or 500
would be expected, is thought TO have
been carried by Covington by 200. And
so the story goes. Here is the table,
as unoffically given Thursday night:
