Mr.. TAFT's election was unquestionably
desired by the business interests Of the
country. This was made plain during the
campaign and was emphasized by the
vote in commercial centers. The first
result OF the election, therefore, will be a
general increase of activity in nearly ev-
cry branch of industry. There will be no
waiting, as would have been the case had
Mr,A Bryan been elected, for Developments.
There will be an accession of confidence,
the effect of which will be quickly dis
cerned, and the country as whole will
readily accept the situation. There will
be no aftermath of bitterness and dlssats-
faction and an era Of good feeling seems

Constantinople has been burned out

plaques and five sieges. In addition,
she has been ruled by monarchs who
were worse than a plague. Yet Con-

London has been decimated five

RECOGNIZED the Line,

Two girls were talking over the

the conversation being a lawn party
TO take place the following day. Both
were discussing what they should
wear, and after five minutes had come
to no decision.
Right In the midst Of this "impor-

interrupted. asking humbly what num-
Der he had. A stern reply that the
wire was busy did not successfully
squelch the inquirer. for he asked
again for the number. One OF the
girls now became indignant and with
supreme scorn asked: What line do

TOOK THEIR MATES ON TRIAL.
One.Year Marriages Once Common
Thing in Scotland.

They who talk glibly of short-term
marriages and affinities do not know
that in Scotland a one,year marriage,
termed handfasting, was once legal
and fairly common. 1t was abandoned
on account of its injustice to the wo'
man.
Scott, in 1.-The Monastery" mentions
this one-year marriage, making Sir
Julian Avenal say.
I'VE take our wives, like our horses,
upon trial. When we are handfasted.
as we term 1t, we are man and wife for
year and a day; that space gone by,
each may choose another mate, or at
their pleasure, may call the priest to
marry them for life"
There was no disgrace attached to
handfasting 1t was. indeed, more
often practiced among the great than
the lowly. But the poor girl whose
trial husband rejected her at the
years end rarely found 1t possible to
secure a permanent mate.
