BLUSHES TO BE
MADE TO ORDER

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. $3.50.
ciety women who have lost the art
of blushing and who regard the
emotional surge of blood to the
cheeks as an asset in the sum to-
tai of their attractiveness, are
greatly interested in the visit of p
noted Scotch tattooer. L
So subtle in his art that by deli
cate tattooing he can give the sixth
the roseate hue that accompanies
the blush. The secret of its effect
iveness lies in whether or not the
face is in light or shadow. By
hanging her head in shadow, a
fair dame, it is said, can produce a
blush which disappears when she
turns her face to the light.
The tattooer is the guest of Wal
ter Wheeler at the Racquet club.
Mr.. Wheeler met the tattooer in
London, where the Scotchman has
a studio.
Mr.. Wheeler bears designs tat
tooed upon him by Macdonald.
Among other Philadelphians
whom he has tattooed are DR.. Will
liam II. Furness, Walter Furness
and Alfred c. Harrison. jr.
Members of the English royal
family, among them the Duke of
York. have had pictures placed
upon them. The Grand Duke
Michael Alexandrovitch, brother
of the czar, and members of the
Russian, German, Spanish and
Danish courts have had designs
worked upon them.

! WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.--Dear
Dad: 1 have seen the president
bleed. don't mean metophorical.
1y, but llterarlly. Rich, red gore
ooxed from a corner of his chin
and mingled with, the lather which
BAD been placed there by the off,
clHl barber. 1t was quite a cash,
as such gashes go, and it leaked
persistently.
my fault, Dick" the president
Apologized; II should have re-
served that point until you got
around the corner"
The point" was a religious one,
apropos the. letter on Taft's reli-
gibn, and the swarm of answers
that have been made in reply to it.
That shot from the Lutherans
seemed to strike close IT. R. being
officially a Lutheran himself), and
the subject was really better
adapted to the tennis court than
the BARRIERS chair.
1.-THE throne" is what the boys
are coming to call this barber
chair, where T. r. has been in the
habit of being shaved daily be-
tween the hours Of 1890 and 1870.
If you are close to the barber chair
you are close to the throne. 1t
answers the same purpose; and
can testify that 1t is the only salts
factory way to interview the presi-
dent. This business of standing
up with 60 or 20 senators, repre-
sentatives and prominent people
and being sent down the line be-
fore you are through with your
apologies for taking his valuable
time--there is nothing to It. Give
me the barber chair or give me
nothing.

they are not telling. Meanwhile a

William jennings Bryan will
take his place in the nations
history with other OF the coun-
try's greatest men whose ambi-
tons to occupy the White House
were never realized. Defeated
in three campaigns, it is certain
that Mr.. Bryan will never again
be a candidate for the presi-
dency, but that he will remain
firm in the affections Of millions
OF people and that he will be ad-
mired as the greatest exponent
Of democracy and a courageous,
honest leader is also certain.
Probably, if the legislature Of his
home state remains democratic,
he will occupy q seat in the
United States Senate at some
future time. We hope so.
Sharp County record., 1908-11-13

There is some consolation in
the figures of last weeks election.
.Iudson Harmon, a democrat, was
elected governor of Ohio, and a
democrat was elected governor
of Indiana. The Indiana legis.
lature is democratic and will
elect democrat to the United
States Senate. 1t is said the
choice may fall upon John W.
Kern, who went to defeat with
Bryan.

in Lower North was u tic, and in
Cave Myers won by a margin of
two votes. In the county Old.
field received 80 more votes than
Bryan, while Myers received i2
more votes than did Taft.
The democratic electoral ticket

date carried North Union, receiv-
Ing IL votes, while the democrats
voted IL and the republicans 8.
The vote in Upper North was a

The prohibition candidate got

Hon. W. A. Oldfield of Bates
vile made O magnificent race for
congress in this district in the
recent election. Opposed to him
was Hon. Harry II, Myers, one OF
the best known republicans Of the
state, and without doubt the best
orator and eampaigner the re-
puollcans have in the state, yet
ne carried all the counties Of the
district with the exception of
Monroe by handsome majorities.
1t Is estimated the majority for

John JOHNSON.

In the state of Minnesota
which state is thoroughly repuo'
licap. John Johnson has just been
elected to a third term as COVER
nor, and John Johnson is dem
ocrat, Notwithstanding the fact
that he is a democrat; that ne
sought the democratic nomina-
tion for president; that Minneso-
ia gave Taft a majority of seven
ty or eighty thousand votes over
Brvan; that he was a candidate
for a third term, Gov. Johnson
was reelected by very hand
some majority. Another point
is, no other democrat was elected
to a state position, the other Of
fees being filled by republicans.
There must be extraordinary
ability in a man who can perform
the almost wonderful political
feats that Gov. Johnson has
performed in republican Minne-
sofa, and, while the national
campaign of 1912 is yet far in the
distance, this man ought to be
seriously considered by the dem
ocratic party in that connection.
There was a strong conviction
among many people that Gov.
Johnson should have been chos-
en- to lead the campaign of 1908,
and The results might have been
different if he had been given the
honor. At any rate it is safe to
say the results would not have
been more disastrous to the par
ty.
Gov. Johnson is a leader who
wins, and it occurs to US a lead
er who can win is exactly the
man the democratic party ought
to be looking for.
Sharp County record., 1908-11-13

One of the surprises of the
election just over was the result
of the vote in New York City.
Before the election that city was
conceded to Bryan by at least
10000 votes, yet Taft received a
majority of about 5000. Chan
Ter, the democratic nominee for
governor, carried the city by
over fifty thousand, though he
was defeated largely in the state.

Mr.. BRYAN'S STATEMENT.
Says His Defeat For The Presidency Is
A Personal Blessing.

Lincoln, Neh,, Nov. 7.-Will-
lam j. Bryan today issued the
following statement:
"The election has gone against
US by a. decisive majority. The
returns are not all in and it is
impossible at the present time to
analyze them or to say what
causes contributed most to the
republican victory. We made
our fight upon a platform which.
embodied what we believed to be
good for the American people,
but it is for the people themselves
to decide what laws they desire
and what methods of government
they prefer.
BELIEVES IN PLATFORM.
81 have faith that the publicity
which we asked for will yet COM
mend itself to the American peo-
pie; that the election of senator's
by the people will be secured !;
that the iniquities of trusts will
arouse an opposition that will re-
suit in the elimination of the
principle of private monopoly. I
am confident that the people will
see the necessity of the labor
legislation and the tariff reduc-
tion which our platform demand
ed. | am confident, too, that the
educational work done in this
campaign will result in securing
greater protection to bank depos-
itors. The above are the most
prominent reforms for which we
labored, and believe that these
reforms will yet come, together
with more effective regulation of
railroads and independence for
the Filipinos.
