Two students travelling through the
country to procure their meals and
lodging gratis adopted the method used
by the deaf and dumb. The extended
slate had invariably produced good re
suits.
One noon they halted at the front
door of a farmhouse. The housewife
read the appeal on the slate. She
looked from the one who carried the
slate to his partner.
Are you deaf and dumb, tooT' she
put to the latter.
Yes, ma'am." replied the student So

a very much larger field of vision than
we have. This is due TO the greater
concavity of their eyes, enabling them

Window Cleaning as Science.

1t is possible to reduce window
cleaning to science, SO it takes lite
tlme and less drudgery. 1t pays to
learn how to clean glass most eX-
pediciously.
Choose a time when the hot sun IS
not shining directly on the glass for
window washing, or the panes will be
streaked. A cloudy day is excellent,
or the part Of the day when the sun
IS off that side of the house.
Wipe off all of the dust first with a
dry cloth. Have all your polishing
rags and ingredients at hand. These
consist Of tissue paper-old patterns
40 nicely-a newspaper and a piece
OF chamois.
Do not fill a bucket with soapy
water to GO to work as If out for the
Monday wash. DO not use soap at all,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. a
tablespoonful of ammonia OF two
tablespoonfuls of kerosene to four
quarts of hot water will do the work
much more quickly and give better
polish.
Rub one pane at q time, first inside,
then out. Wash with rag not 50

% Horses Burned.

Over 100 head of live stock, includ
ing % horses, were destroyed in two
fires on Friday night which burned
two fine barns in the Southern part
Of Frederick county. The fire, the
origin Of which has not been learned,
started on the farm of DR.. Samuel
Claggett, near Petersville, and de-
stroyed a large bank barn, COM
binatiOn wagon shed and corn house
and sheep pen. Twelve horses,
four head Of cattle and four or five
hogs were burned. The flock Of
sheep and 26 head of cattle were
saved. About 900 bushels of wheat,
125 barrels Of corn, a quantity OF hay
and most Of the farming utensils were
burned.
The fire started about o'clock. A
high wind was blowing and carried
sparks far across the country. In this
way the barn on the farm owned by
Charles Wertheimer, situated about q
mile from the Claggett farm, was
ignited. The tenants family were
asleep and the fire was not discover
ed until 1t had made such Roadway
that Ill horses, SO cows and 81 sheep
were destroyed Three horses ana
two cows were saved, though the COWS
we're badly burned. A silo, nearly
filled with ensilage; corn house and
two large straw stacks were burned.
The contents OF the barn, which were
destroyed, included between LOO and
1900 bushels of wheat. The loss in
both cases II fairly well covered with
insurance.

MAY GET THE SEN
ATE.
Can DO lit By The Gerrymander in
Eight States.

Washington, November 11.-One of
the results that may follow the land
slide Of last Tuesday in which the
Democrats captured eight additional
senators is the opportunity granted
the Democratic party in the eight
states in which they have been VIC
torious to redistrict the states. The
present apportionment in New York,
New Jersey, West Virginia, Maine,
Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska and Missouri
and the apportionmenr was made in
every case with superior ability.
Indeed it was the boast of the state
West Virginia and some of the other
states that the party could lose the
governor by overwhelming majorities
and yet save the legislature, SO skill
fully had the legislative districts
been fashioned. Thus, for instance,
it has been the pride of the West
Virginia Republicans that the Demo-
Gratis could elect their governor by
$4,000 majority and yet fail to capture
the legislature. This year, however,
in West Virginia as in all the other
States that have gone SO pitifully
wrong the Democratic party has
elected it's legislature even without
rolling up an excessive majority for
the ticket.
From the national standpoint the
gerrymandering of the states may
threaten Republican supremacy in
the United States Senate. As it liz
now the Senate will be Republican by
only majority of IL, when such men
as Messrs. Cummins, Nelson, Clapp,
Pondexter, Townsend and LaFollette
are placed in the Republican column.
If the eight legislatures, which will
gerrymander their states next winter,
succeed In creating condition, which
the Republicans cannot overcome at
the next legislative election, it Is
easy to see that Republican control
of the Senate will be lost 1t is true that
two of these states, namely, Indiana
and Missouri, have already one Dem
ocratic senator, but IL the remaining
six legislatures send Democrats to
succeed the present Republican sena-
tors, the Senate would stand 48 DEM
ocrats to A Republicans, giving the
Democrats control of the Senate by
a strong working majority, and MAX
ing possible an alliance between the
Democrats and the prOgressives
which would make the little handful
OF Republicans still remaining in the
Senate utterly incapable Of any con-
structive action.
