The system of high license on Sa-
looms and the consequent adjustment
of the more disreputable dives was
inaugurated by the Democrats of the
Pecos Valley The Republican terrific
rial officers have been silent on the
subject all the years of their occu-
pancy. The first people to abolish
gambling in New Mexico were the
Democrats of the Pecos Valley. The
Republican majority of the Territory
followed along after they saw the peo-
pie demanded it. The first people in
New Mexico to cry for a sensible and
economical system of paying county
officers are the Democrats of the Pc
COS Valley. They will demonstrate
that the system is a success and be-
fore long we will see the Republican
assembly change the law relating to
same. 1t is pretty safe TO say that
if the Democrats of Southeastern New
Mexico were given the chance, they
would make his great domain a very
desirable place % live il indeed

Danger in a Cold

because you have contracted ordinary colds
and recovered from them without treatment
of any kind, do not for a moment imagine
that colds are not dangerous. Not only pneu-
monia. but also the infectious diseases such
as diphtheria and scarlet fever start with a
cold. The cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the germs of
cheese diseases. Take our advice-cure your
cold while Won can.

MISSOURI

St. Louis, Mo.-Unofficia returns
from all but thirty counties of
the state, together with returns from
st. Louis and Kansas City, indicate
that the Democratic candidates for
minor state offices have been elected
by pluFalities in excess of 1000.
John p. Gordon, Democratic nom
inee for state auditor, estimated that
Cornelius Roach, Democratic nominee
for secretary OF state, has defeated
his Republican opponent, Secretary
of State John E. Swanger, by ap-
proXimately 4.46t.
Missouri, for the second time since
the war, apparently, has given its
electoral vote to a Republican candi-
date for president. Incomplete unof-
fetal returns from practically every
county in the state and the city of
St Louis indicate that Taft has beaten
Bryan in Missouri by approximately
1925.
Belated returns from nearly eevry
county in the state leave no room to
doubt that Attorney General Herbert
S. Hadley has been elected governor
of Missouri. Hadley's plurality, the
figures now available show, is 1898.

Missouri at First Conceded to Democrats VIII I'M
doubtedEy Go For Taft-Maryiand May
Split It's Electoral Vote-Congress
Remains Republican,

New York, \. Y.-The member
ship of the electoral college which
will choose the next president of the
United States remained in dispute
when the official counters in Mary
land abandoned their task for the
night According to the best infOrma-
ton Obtainable, the propOrtiOnate
numbers of Republicans and Dem
ocratic electors will be determined by
a division of Marylands eight votes.
Half of the city Of Baltimore and two
of the % counties outside of that city
are still to be counted. but there is
a strong indication that the states
vote will be split. In any event, the
margin of victory will be so small
that the state was claimed Thursday
by the leaders of both parties.
Though the splitting Of a states
electoral vote is unusual. it will be
recalled that in 1904 Maryland chose
one Republican and seven Democratic
electors.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft to whom the latest returns give
a plurality Of 1000.
Conceding Missouri to Taft and
leaving Maryland to be split between
him and Bryan. the figures show $40
Republican electors assured and 10G
Democratic.
Latest congressional returns indi-
cate that the next congress will be
composed of PIG Republicans and 175
Democrats, a majority for the Re
publicans of Al.
Tlre returns for the socialist and
Prohibition parties are still .far from
compile but indicate that the hopes
of the Socialists have not been real
lied and that the Prohibitionists in
certain section, were gains have been
expected, have been disappointed. The
figures for the Independence party
are also insufficient to give an &C
curate idea of what that party &C
complished.
Outside of the journey, political in
terest was engaged Thursday in the
exchange Of messages of cOngratula-
ton and thanks between Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Taft; statement by Mr..
Bryan. in which he sets forth his de-
termination to continue his work for

Where Mark Twain Had Gone,

When Mark Twain was working
hard On one of his earlier books that
brought him fame he sailed for Eu-
rope with his family. He kept up his
writing on shipboard, leaving it only
for brief recreations. One day an ap-
preaching storm drove him to the
cabin, and as he retired to work he
left word with his daughter, then d
very little girl, to explain his absence.
IF they ask for me-" he said to her,
SAY that won't be long; l have only
gone to write an anecdote" A little
later a passenger accosted the child:
Where has your father gomez" He

"Oh, hang it, what have they done
to you, smarty?" growls the detective
angrily. Then he cries: GLORY halle

run down the ladder and is busy try
ing to unloosen the irons from the
Americans legs.

Governor Deneen's plurality in the
state was near the $4,000 mark.
while that of President-eiect Taft
kept above 10000 Wednesday, as be
lated returns from the isolated por-
tons of Illinois came triclking in.
The Socialist showed a considerable
falling off from that Of four years ago.
Debs in 1904 received 69.225 votes.
From the returns SO far obtained it
seems probable that he will not re-
coive much over 10000.
Deneen's greatest losses were SUI
fered in Cook county, which is his
home The feeling against him was
strong in Chicago and he was heavily
scratched

Then as Anstruther lights another
match, shrek rises to them: THE
husband OF Marina, Madre di Dio!"
~Tomasso!" exclaims Edwin, add
ing: In Gods name, where is my
wife?"
"Diavolo, of course, you have come
here to find her. At the fork of the
Bastia read, I thought the Iucchese'
captured my mistress and myself and
forced us to drive toward the east.
Coming over the mountains, their Ian
guage told me they were not Iuch-
cheese but Corsicans. I would have
told Marina, but when | got out to
water the horses at the little fountain
up near Pfetra. two of them struck me
insensible and l awoke and found my
self here. But Signore, l beg you to
note one thing. Your true wife and
my honored mistress believes she was
rescued from the Lucchese' by Cipri-
anO Danella, and she is grateful to
him. Get me to the light that I may
aid you" The old Corsican has faint
ly staggered up; moment later he is
pulled from the vault by the strong
hands of Anstruther and the detective.
This is old Tomasso Monaldi," says
Edwin shortly, who was supposed to
be killed"
Holy smoke, the fellow who was
believed dead and they vendettaed
Barnes about"
Yes
But Tomasso's words make them

with white lips: This tower is
mined" Together they go up the
stairs, carefully examining every orr
fee in the building, but find them all
l0OphOles too small to permit the exit
Of a man." and the masonry too solid
to be broken through in any ordinary
time, as the building is bare of tools
and weapons.
There is nothing but to get out of
the upper chamber" says Edwin. I'm
a sailor. With half a chance, single
vine, with even the assistance of our
clothes torn into lengths, / can scram-
BILE down. Some way I'll do it,
They have reached the upper room.
Anstruther has thrown off his coat
and vest, kicked off his shoes and
taken off his stockings. Toes will
cling to the rough stonework better
than boots. He picks up the letter
and the concluding sentences seem to
make him crazy. He springs to the
window and a muttered oath parts his
white lips, for he encounters a grillage
of heavy iron so securely fastened on
the outside that it is impossible for
him to make exit.
But even as Edwin struggles with
the grating. he utters a low cry, half
of longing, half Of despair.
Upon the pOrtico Of the modern por-
ton of the farmhouse, pleasant with
vines and flowers, almost reclining in
a hammock is Marina. ROBBED in
white, the young wife looks like a
dream Of loCe to her despairing hus-
band. Her face is flushed, if not hap

ing-the distance is too great fer Ed
win to understand the words, but aD-

his costume the romantic one of Cor

Some time after midday, Mr.. Barnes,
in pursuit Of Anstruther, reaches
Ponte-alla-Lecchia, where the people
are now crowding about the polling
house. He doesn't stop here and con-
tinues rapidly on, Notwithstanding the
sun is very hot, the dust is very heavy.
AS he climbs the high hills toward Mo-

The Glow of Glory,

We are all Influenced by a desire of
praise, and the best men are the most
especially attracted by glory. Those
very philosophers, even in the books
which they write about despising
glory, put their own names on the til
tIe-page. In the very act of recording
their contempt for renown and noto-
r.ety, they desire to have their own
names known and talked os.-Cicers
