ADVICE BROUGHT UP TO DATE.
Little Story Suggests Improvement on
Croekett's Words of Wisdom.

The other day man travelling on
shore line train noticed, protruding
from an overhead rack, a dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to friend He knew that his friend
always got of at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not in the seat the conclusion was in
evltahle that he had jumped OF the
train and forgotten IT,
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him After
some discussion and a mild protest
on the part of the conductor that It
wasn't a part of his duty, the suit
case was put off at the next station
with instructions to send it back on
the first train the other way
The man, feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act settled down
for the rest of his journey
But not for long! The face Of his
frlend-who had been in the smoker,
and who happened on that particular
afternoon. TO be going to New London
TO attend a dinner party-loomed be-
fore him.
The moral OF this is. Of course, quite
evident
BE sure you're right and then mind
your own bus.uess.-lifc

Mr.. c., a distinguished lawyer Of
Boston, was on his way to Denver
to transact some important business.
During the afternoon he noticed, in
the opposite section Of the pullman. a
sweetfaced, ured-appearing woman
travelling with four small children. Be
ing fond of children and feeling sor-
ry for the mother he soon made
friends with the little ones.
Early the next morning he heard
their eager questions and the patient:
Yes, dear" Of the mother as she tried
to dress them and looking out he saw
a small white foot protruding beyond
the opposite curtain Reaching across
the aisle. he took hold of the large
toe and began 10 recite This little

THE LATE RETURNS
GIVES MIR. TAFT
MORE VOTES
IBy Associated Press. l

New York, Nov. 6.-The membership
of the electoral college which will
choose the next president of the Unit
ed States remains in dispute.
According to the best Information
obtainable the proportionate numbers
of republican and democratic electors
will be determined by division of
Maryland s eight votes. Half of the
city of Baltimore and two of the
twenty-three counties outside of that
city are still to be counted, but there
is strong indication that the states
vote will he split. In any event the
margin of victory will be so small
that the state was claimed last night
by the leaders of both parties.
Though the splitting of a states cleo
total vote is unusual it will be re-
called 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 800 with the prospects
that the few final districts win
35u5le or triple these figures.
Conceding Missouri to Taft and
leaving Maryland to be split between
him and Bryan the figures show 319
republican electors assured and 156
democratic electors.
Latest congressional returns indi-
cate that the next congress will be
composed of PIG republicans and 175
democrats. a majority for the repub-
licans of forty-one. The returns for
the socialists and prohibition parties
are still far from complete, but indi-
cate that the hope of the socialists
have not been realized and that the
prohibitionists in certain sections,
where gains have been expected have
been Disappointing. The figures for
the Independence party vote are also
to give an accurate idea
of what that party accomplished.

MANCLtD BODY Or
BOY CARRIED UN WHEELS
IBy Associated Press.

New York. Nov. 6.-Carrying on
its brakebeam the mangled body of
small boy trolley car ran for more
than three miles along Second avenue
last night without the motorman
knowing that he had even hit, much
less killed, a person.
The motorman told the police,
when he was arrested charged with
homicide, that he remembered
humping of the car at Ninety-ninth
street, but gave it very little atten-
tion. AT ninety-eighth street the
humping was repeated several times.
At Forty-sixth street the car stopped
and the motorman crawled under ii
to see what was the matter with the
motor. He was Mortified to discover
the horribly mangled body of boy,
apparently about 8 years old. He
collapsed and was assisted from un-
der the car by the conductor.
The car was filled and when the
passengers found out what caused
the delay several women tainted.
