The aggregate vote in all the States
for electors Of President and Vice Pres

the plurality for Mr.. Taft was more

votes. His total vote was only few

thousands greater than that for Xr.
Roosevelt In 1904. The vote fe- LSr.
Bryan was one million three hu..dre1
thousand more than Judge Parker re-
ceived four years ago. 1t was regarded
as remarkable fact in 1904 that the
total vote of the country was nearly
half million less than In 1900 The
decrease was, of course, due not to 81
decrease in the number of those who
had right to vote, but to the fact
that great many voters did not care
to so to the polls. In many cases,
probably, they did not like the candi-
date Of their own party; but they
would not vote for the opposing can
didate, and thus spoil their record as
party men, and consequently did not
vote at all. In 1908, although the cam
paign was not very active one. the
candidates were generally acceptable to
the men of all parties, and a full vote
was brought out. Some light is thrown
on this subject Of the variation Of the
total vote-which has puzzled some
political students of the time-by OBJ
serving that the decrease in the aggre-
gate between 1900 and 1904 is more
than accounted for by the falling off
in the sixteen Southern States, and
that in 1908 the vote in those same
States was almost the same as in 1900.
Owing to the onesidedness of party
division in most Of those States, there
Is not much to call out full vote, and
an Increase or decrease Is largely ac-
cidental. In the contested States of the
North the total vote increased slightly
In 1904, and was about three-quarters
of q million more in 1908 than in 1904.

THE SAUCER PIE.

Once upon a time there was saul
Ger pie. A saucer pie is pie that is
baked in a saucer instead of a pan,
and if you have never seen one 1
hope you will before you are hun
dred years old.
This pie was baked in saucer that
belonged to little girl named Polly.
Her grandmother had given her the
saucer, and it was as blue as the sky.
When her mamma took the pie out
of the oven and put it on the table to
cool she said:
''Here is a nice little, brown little pie,
Baked in a saucer as blue as the
sky"
The pie belonged to Polly as we'll
as the saucer. Her mamma had
baked it for her because it was her
birthday, and she was very proud Of
it.
"Tell me about it again. she said,
as she stood on tiptoe by the table to
see it. Then her mamma said:
Here is pie that is dainty and
sweet,
Baked in a saucer for Polly to eat. -
But Polly did not want to eat her
saucer pie by herself.
81 will have a party" she said, and
away she went with dancing feet to
call her neighbors in.
There was Martha and Margaret
and little boy John, and all of them
came to Polly's party.
When they got there the table was
set with Polly's doll dishes, and in
the middle of the table was the pie.

Predictions grow stronger that
spring hats will be of moderate size.
The semi-princess dress is a style
that looks we'll on either the slender
or full figure.
A few of the white petticoats have
a fiounce embroidered in colored dots,
pale pink and blue.
A great effort is being made by tall
ors to keep the short skirted, tailor
made dress in vogue.
There is general impression
abroad that the last word has been
said on the subject of suits and yet
every day one sees something new
and different.
Fashion has never evolved more
charming mode than the high wasted
gown Of the present season, with its
long, unbroken lines and it's subtle
suggestion of classic dignity and
grace.
Among the Oriental fashions in
vogue is the Mameluke toque, which
is a kind of fez. 1t is ordinarily
made of velvet and worn low on the
head, and is unusual rather than
beautiful.
One of the most persuasive of the
new waists is made in an admirable
wash crepon-half silk, half cotton.
The material is more dressy than the
cotton crepes that were introduced
last year.

SIMPLEST FOODS.

1t is only by unfagging persistence
in restricting her diet to the simplest
foods that Queen Alexandra SO Won
derfully preserves her slimness OF
figure and genuine appearance OF
youth. Two thin slices of broad
bread, spread with unsalted butter,
are eaten by the Queen before rising.
This is at $50 o'clock, and break
fast at II consists Of little fruit,
one coddled egg and two dry biscuits.
Then there is a fast until 4 o'clock,
when Alexandra eats two honey
cakes. The Queen never touches the
course dinner served for the rest of
the imperial household. Instead, she
eats a few French oysters, grilled on
toast, celery, raw or stewed, and a
salad dressed with oil and salt. Her
only sweet is an apple baked with
honey. A favorite luncheon at San
dringham is whole white bread and
fresh buttermilk from a cedar churn.

Queen daily visits the Sandrirgham
datry and drinks sraTingly of the but

FRUIT GROWERS FLOCK
TO SOUTHWEST TEXAS.
Climate and Soil Found to Be
Ideal For Production of Oranges
and Lemons.

Remarkable development in the
raising of citrus fruits, especially
oranges and lemons, is going on in
the portion of Southwest Texas
around San Antonio and as far south
as the Rio Grande Valley and the
Gulf. F. C. Hutchinson, of Ventura
County, California, established one OF
the largest orchards near Deeyllle
about a year and a half ago, and he
reports that numerous other Cali
fornia fruit growers are migrating
into this part of Texas, that orange
groves, lemon groves and vineyards
are going on in every direction.
Southwest Texas is 1900 miles
closer to the markets than Califor-
MA" says Mr.. Hutchinson, and the
fruit natures here two months earl
Ter. The sandy loan with the red
clay subsoil which is found in a num-
Der of localities is ideally adapted to
orange and lemon culture. 1t pro-
duces in greater quantities than the
California soil. One tree in our
neignbornood this year by actual
count produced $3.50 oranges, an
other one produced more than four
thousand So far our orchards are
young and most of our shipments
have been local, but in two or three
years we will be competing Oh large
scale with California and Florida.
When my trees are five years old
expect to net from them from $3.50
to $500 an acre"
Orange groves are being set out
around the city of San Antonio, at
Oakville, in Live Oak County, in Re-
fugio County, in Corpus Christi, Fal-
furrias and in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, known as the Brownsville
country.-New York Herald.

Theology In The Highlands.

The minister's class at the kirk of
Tobermory had been reading the
story of Joseph and his brethren and
it came to the turn of the minister
to examine the boys.
The replies to all his questions had
been quick, intelligent and correct.
Such as:
What great crime did these sons
of Jacob commit"
''They sold their brother Joseph"
"Quite correct. And for h?w
much?"
Twenty pieces of silver
"And what added to the cruelty
and wickedness of these bad broth
ers?"
A pause.
what made their treachery even
