 Columbus, O.--Ohio is very close, with chance for either Taft or Bryan to get the verdict by slender plurality or it is for Bryan by margin so large as to amount to what we like to call d landslide. If the state had voted three weeks ago it would surely have gone to Bryan. During the last fortnight the re- publicans have undoubtedly made some gains, and they now feel much more hope ful without being at all confident.
 The sdemocrats. on the other hand, feel sure they are to win, both on the presi- dency and governorship.

ArRANELER.

4 TRAVELLER. He wandered down to Trouble Town -- One sorrow-haunted day, When joy and love and happiness Had stolen swift away. Forsooth, it was a gloomy place And sad the people there, Who only harbored deep regret And visions of despair. He got so tired of Trouble Town, The capital of tears, Where broken sobs and means and sighs Are all a person hAeFs, That very soon he left the place, His suitcase in his hand, And took the sunny golden road That led to Laughterland.
