9arasats and the Sandwich Men In
Edinburgh.
To advertise Sarasate's performances
in Edinburgh eight sandwich men were
vent out, each Of whom bore in front
and behind him n letter OF the great
musicians name. They started all
right, but after a time removed the
boards from their shoulders to have q
rest.
On resumtng their labors each man
shouldered the bOard nearest him and
fell In behind the man who had for
merly marched before him.
When the leader, who bore the initial
-" turned around to zee II his men
were ready. what he saw was "Sata-
Tesa." He knew enough to realize that
something was wrong. but how to
right It was more than he could tell.
After changing a mar here and there
he rot it ~"Starasea." But still 1t didn't
seem correct.
BY this time the poor fellow was In
q terrible state. II any Of their EN-
ployers' people were on the outlook
and could see them. their days wage
would be stopped! He tried again and
yet again, but It was no use.
And a moment later a man bearing
the letter rs" before and behind was
seen running toward the music hall to
copy down the name from n Of the
posters there. And along the right
side Of Princeton street there walked
toward the appointed rendezvous at
the Mound three men who bore the
strange device "A A b." while opposite
them there paced along the left side

FREDERICK AND vOLTAlRE.
Stormy Relations Of the Misery King
and the Lavish Author.

The world knows plenty about the
elements of strength in the characters
of great men, but less abOut theiI
weaknesses. Here is a story tina,
shows the other side of the natures Of
Frederick the Great and Voltaire:
Frederick the Great had a leaning
toward literature. He wrote poems.
plays and booklets that, in his opin-
ion. possessed rare merit. So it
seemed fitting to him that great liter
airy men should fraterniZe. and he sent
an invitation to Voltaire to be his
guest. Accompanying the invitations
was a sun of money to defray the
great Frenchman's travelling expenses
to the Prussian capital.
Let it be explained at this point that
Frederick was extremely %penuriouS
and that Noltaire was not only ex-
~fravagaut. but had many Of the char
acteristicS of what we would now call
a CRATER. 1t should also he under
stood that Frederick despAad graft
ing. and Noltaire abhOrrcd miScrli
ness.
Noltaire accepted the inVitation-and
then had an a~fterthought. Why not
rake a favorlte niece with him? So
he wrote TO the King that If he would
sen an extra thousand louis he would
bring the girl.
Sir. replied the King. II did not
ask the young lady to do me the honor
OF visiting me. and | shall send moth
ing to pay her expenses.
"lh" OLD mlSer. said Noltaire to a
friend. He has tubs OF money in his
treasury, yet Will not grant me this
wish.
However, oItaire went TO Berlin but
each found 1hat he mated the other to"
mn"h 70 make th"!r friendship perma-
neht.

MINNESOTA.

St. Paul, Minn.. Nov. 3.-Whiles the early returns indicated the election Of Governor Johnson by a plurality or from 10, 900 to 25,O0O, the later returns from the country districts greatly mod flied this, offsetting the large vote Of the cities and towns for Johnson by definite gains for Jacobson (Rep) for Governor. The returns up to late to- night were too indefinite, however 10 accurately forecast the result
 That Taft carried the State by hg- ures ranging anywhere from SO,OOO 10 100000 was conceded
 The Governorship In Minnesota hangs in the balance. the result being so close, with not sufficient returns to indicate what 1t will be. that both Chairman Day. of the Democratic State Committee, and Brown of the Republi- can State Committee. claim the State by small majorities.
 Jacobson made heavy gains in the country. especially in the southern counties, and at Republican headquar- ters 1t was said that the Republican candidate will come into the Twin Cities with enough votes to offset whateevr Johnson may get in St. Paul and Minneapolis.
 The Johnson plurality in the Twin cites Is estimated at 11,000, with the heavy loss in Hennepin county (Min- neapolis).

GEORGIA.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. Slate returns indicate that the two constitutional amendments to be voted on in Georgia received substantial majorities. One amendment provides that Confederate veterans or their widows who are not worth more than $1.500 may partici- pate in the pension fund. The other amendment provides that counties may levy special tax for the construction of sewers and for the maintenance of a system of rural police.
 Bryan carried Georgia but early re- turns indicate that the Democratic majority will be considerably reduced. Watson received majorites in three of the counties thus far reported and in two of the counties Taft received small maJorities. Taft carried two wards in the city of Atlanta.

campaign today so successfully com pleted."
 Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., visited head quarters tonight. After being assured that the Republican national ticket had been elected. young Rooseevlt said:
 T cast my first vote today. and voted a straight Republican ticket"
 At 1O:30 o'clock tonight Chairman Hitchcock made the following state ment:
 "The returns speak for themselves. There seems to be no longer any doubt ful States. The electoral vote VIII show that my estimate was correct It looks now, think, as If must have under-estimated.
 "The returns have exceeded my ex- pectations.
 "The plurality in Indiana will be less than I expected. That in Illinois is far more than anticipated. and so it goes. Wheer one State has not quite come up to the figures I had expected. some other State has gone far beyond. The latest returns from Maryland indicate that we have carried that State by about 1000 to 10000, and that is more than I believed it would give.
 T predicted early in the evening that Governor Hughes would be elect ed. To MT. Hughes we owe much. AS a campaigner he has helped wonder fully in the national contest All Of us here at headquarters were greatly interested in the fight. He has earned his victory and we are glad for him and grateful to him for the help he has given us"
 When Mir. Hitchcock was asked to what he attributed the victory of the national ticket. he replied:
 "The people have explained that. It is not for me to say anything more except to thank the people.
 T do not think any formal state ment from me is necessary"

NORTH CAROLINA.

 Latest news from the Tenth Congress sional District is that 1t Is extremely close and that indications point to the election of Grant. Republican. over Crawford.
 News from the Eighth District is ex- tremely incomplete and indefinite. Re- publicans claim election of cowles. Re- publican, over Racket, Democrat, but the Democrats do not concede this. Democrats will probably have as large majority in the Legislature as two years ago, when it was seven to ono.
 The Democratic vote fin the State has not fallen off. but has increased. but so has the Republican vote, which was fully boiled.

 T do not care to estimate the prob- able final result. although we do not concede anything. It looks as though we had won Montana. Nebraska and Colorado. We have not enough from Ohio. West Virginia or Maryland to give any indications"
 With Mir. Lamb were Roger c. Sulli- van of Illinois: Urey woodson, of Kentucky; J. W. Tomlinson, of Ala bajfna and a number of local Demo- crats, none, of whom. in the absence of complete returns. would admit the defeat of Mir. Bryan.
 Tn the city at large. the triumph of the Republicans was taken for grant ed when the result of the contest in New York was made public. Bombs, searchlights and scores of bulletin boards scattered throughout the city flashed statements claiming Taft's election early in the evening.

IOWA.

Des Moines. Iowa, Nov. 3.--The in- complete returns received at 10 o'clock indicate that Taft has carried iowa by plurality of from 10000 to 50.00o, This is a tremendous falling off from tho Roosevelt plurality of 15s,0 of four years ago. but 1t represents only a slight falling off from the normal plurality. The entire Republican State ticket Is elected. probably by the same plurality.
 Governor CumHins probably carried the Republican Senatorial primary over Major J. F. Lacey by a plurality of 10000 to 60.000. a tremendous gain from last June when he was defeated by Allison by 11,00O.
 The indications are that the entire delegation in Congress will be Repub- lican. a gain of one over two years ago.
