A Lincoln, Neb., dispatch says
Mai Minnamascot, the mule offered
by Mr.. Bryan during the campaign
of 1908 to the county showing the
largest percentage of gain, will go
to Esmeralda county, Nevada.
That county cast 3S+ votes for the
democratic electors in 1895, 2S9 in
1900. $50 in 1904, or an average
vote Of 351 for the three campaigns.

BRYANs PRIZE MULE is GOING TO NEVADA
Esmeralda Counys Percentage of Gain in Democratic Votes
Was Six Hundred and Ninety Four.

The vote in 1903 was 2,7S7. Sub
tracing the average of 351 from
2.787 leaves a net gain of 2.436.
Dividing the net gain of 2,436 by
the average vote of 351 gives the
remarkable average of 694 per cent.
Williams county, North Dakota,
stands next with 537 per cent, then
Montgomery county, Ohio, with 423,
and Lancaster county, Nebraska, Bry-
ans home, with 331.

THANKS to the courtesy Of Baron

binary system Of protecting treasures
that has ever been invented.
ON the corner CT the Rue Balzac and
the Rue Faubou:g ct. Honore stands
gorgeous mansion, one of the most
magnificent In Paris. surrounded by
beautiful gardens. The mansion may
be described as a house within a
bouse. In the inner house Honore de
Balzac, the father of realistic romance,
killed himself by overwork at the age
81 fifty-one. Here the worlds greatest
novelist wrote "La Coincide HUI
maine.' and here he Numbered forth
70 his friends that there were three
men only III Paris who knew the Ian

Around this historic house the Roth
schilds have really built another and
have. moreover. made gardens such as
are seen in no other city save Paris.
All are surrounded by very high
wall. which completely shuts off the

that they close up and leave no trace

The machinery Is very elaborate and Is
Kept constantly IN order.
Only twice has Baron Rothschild CIV
on an exhibition Of the working Of
these wonderful walls 10 his astonlsh-
ed guests. All is so arranged that at a
given signal the machinery Is put In
motion. and treasures worth billions
are shut up within walls which APP
parently are an immovable part Of the
house.
