vour worldly possessions that sooner
or later she will bring that man to
his knees, or her feet, as you like to
put it.
Let us pass lightly over the glorious
DAYS of fall, when Prudence allowed
Alfred to call several times and find
her in the kitchen with an apron on
helping her mother put up jellies and
preserves and things. Let us even
mass lightly over the evening when
she showed him the blister upon her
fair white hand made by sputter-
ing drop of apple butter. Yes, pass
lightly over it. Any sane man, any
man in possession Of ordinary facul-
ties. when a beautiful young creature
held out little white hand and show
ed him blister thereon big
blister. just a sort of a beauty spot Of
q blister-would have taken that hand
in his and all but wept over it. He
wo,1ld have asked her to give that
hand to him and to come along with
# herself, and would have sworn by
bioh heaven and the marching stars
and the sun and moon and sky that
never again should that wonderful
hand know the wearying stress of
foil, What did Alfred do?
He looked at the blister appraising-
Iv-without taking those taper fingers
IN his-and he said:
"Stick a needle under it from one
side and let the water out, then put a
little peroxide on it tomorrow
shades OF Romeo Memories of
Dante and Beatrice! Was it any
wonder that Prudence brought her
nretty lips together in a straight line
and registered mental vow that AL
fred should rue this speech some day?
Let us now pass lightly on again.

%A see that she favors him
90 J above all the rest, it has not
yet been listed.
PrudeAce Milton as much as a year
ago discovered that Alfred Ruthven
possessed all the qualities that go to
make a man noble and splendid and
brave-no, not brave! A brave man
would have proposed to Prudence long
since. But Alfred, Prudence knew,
was handsome and intelligent, and
prosperous. Just one thing he lacked
-self-confidence. Alfred was bashful
on the love subject.
A great many men are so. They
can discuss politics, the musical
glasses, the drama, literature, art,
science and the classics fuently with
a young woman, but they shy away
from the real heart interest like an
aeroplane lodging a church steeple.
Why, Prudence had inveigled Alfred
into long walks with her in the sill
very moonlight of spring and the gol-
den moonlight of summer-all to no
avail Once, in August, she was boat
ing with him, and she had pretended
to be afraid the boat would capsize
what would you do if it did," she
asked him.
Naturally she expected him to reply
that he would plunge in after her
and save her or perish in the attempt.
Such heroic remark as that would of
course lead into a more passionate
avowal of his reasons for being will
ing to lay down his young life for her
and then, Of course, he could easily
hop-skip right along to request that,
since he was willing to die for her,
she might consider favorably propo-
sition to share his life with him, or
words to that effect.
But when she asked him, with a
tremulous shake in her lovely voice,
and with world Of faith and trust
in her lustrous eyes:
i"What would you do if the boat
capsized?"
He never even stopped rowing. He
just said:
ct wouldn't matter much. The wa
ter isn't over three feet deep here"
Prudence almost capsized the boat
from sheer vexation then. When a
woman becomes vexed with man be-
cause he does not realize that he loves

FEARS ALREADY.

WELL, the Democrats have carried Congress
and we shall sec what we shall see. The
Roosevelt menace TO business has been removed,
and the "tickers" should tell the joyful news OF
huoyant and bounding stock market, right on the
jump. But sad TO relate the great bound fell on
the hurdle and a crop of brand new fears devel-
opcd within an hour or so after the market opened
Already in New York there are fears although
we were told all along that with the Roosevelt
menace put in the refrigerator we should hear
no more talk about depression in the stock market
and all that
There are, however already fears that with
Democratic Congress we shall have Taft's plan OF
revision of the tariff through means of Com
mission thwsrted. Probably so, but these fear
mongers should have thought of that when thcv
were engaged in their hunco game of shouting
about Roosevelts being a menace" to honest
business
OF course the stock iobbing interests won't trust
the Democrats at Washington. Champ Clark may
alter his decision TO drive a team of Missouri mules
down Pennsylvania avenue at the capital IL The
Democrats won. and he may use an automobile
but he will be the same old Champ and represent
the same party.
NC don't hike to be at,all pessimstic or nave a
Crouch, but we do expect the fear factory" TO be
overworked for the next two years. We may have
abundant crops and all that, but will not be long
before Wall street will be sending out reports that
there are grave fears that the next President
Will be Democrat and that the next Congress and
Scnate will be Democrats which situation seems TO
Se synonymous with depressed business
How much better II would have been to nave
=voided the nonsense about Rooseveltto have stood
by President Taft and upheld his hands so that
he could have continued along the lines of mod
ern and progressive legislation for the welfare
of the country.
The Journal thinks that those Republicans who
have been either secretly or openly rejoicing at the
defeat of so clean and honorable and hiph minded
man as Mr.. Sumscn flr governor of New York
for the silly reason that Roosevelt approved him
will make wry faces when they realize what the
optcome will finally be-
But the New York Black Horse Cavalry will
smile.

Remedy Saved Her Child

There are literally thousands Of women
in this country who gratefully acknowl-
edge that they owe the present good
health of their children to the timely
use of DR.. CaIdweII's Syrup Pepsin.
The crying baby usually is constipated
OF suffers from intestinal trouble due to
some error in diet. 1t needs no heroic
measures-just a gentle laxative like
Syrup Pepsin. A small dose of it will
right the baby. 1t is a great laxative
and digestant, pleasant-tasting and non
gripping. No baby or child refuses 1t.
Many mothers never give their children
anything else. and they have robust
children and no doctors bills. II is q
great money saver as we'll as a great
life saver. If space permitted, thousands
of womens addresses could be given
who write they will never be without
Syrup PepSin in the house. 1t Is for
all the family-for anyone who realizes
that salts and strong cathartics are only
temporary cxpedients. You can buy a
bottle of your favorite druggist at fifty
cents and one dollar, or if you wish 10
make trial OF II first, you can obtain a
free sample bottle ffom Dr. Caldwell by
sending him your name and address.

figures, quarter TO an increase of
the Democratic vote i'm Greater New
york, and three-quarters to the de-
crease in the Republican vote for
Stimson above the Harlem River"
This is the plain answer of the To-
cal Republican organization in Al
bany, Utica and elsewhere, to its de-
feat by Theodore Roosevelt in the
Saratoga Convention. He and his can
didate, Henry l.. Stimson go down in
crushing defeat after sixteen years,
in which the Republican party has
elected the chief executive of the
state.
The Republican party in New York
State has wholly refused to respond
TO eX-President Roosevelt's appeal
and he has not attracted enough votes
from the Democratic party TO make
up for the losses due in the State out
side Of New York City itself to oppo-
sition TO his new nationalism"
II would be equally premature TO
assume Shat this defeat is final or that
it is only a passing check in Theo-
dore RoOsevelts career. Time only
can tell and il is necessary even now
to discriminate between the methods
Colonel Roosevelt used and the broad
policy OF Republican advance laid
down i'm the Chicago platform and
supported by the Republican party as
a whole.

Editorial Opinion
The New York Landslide.


Philadelphia Press.
Dix and the DemOcratoc party have
carried New York by a heavy plural
ity. how heavy only full returns can
show. The result is clear and be-
yond doubt.
The cSus IS OF this sudden and over
whelming reversal Of all recent po-
litical verdicts in New York are clear.
The Republican vote of the State,
outside of New York City, is cut down
by nearly a fifth. compared with that
for Governor Hughes two years ago.
The Democratic vote for Dix, the
Democratic candidate now, is less in
the up-country districts than for
Chanler in 1908 by 10 per cent. A
scant Democratic vote exceeds Re-
publican vote, which has lost stin
more.
The Democratic plurality two years
lgo in Greater New York was TO-
iS3 The plurality given Dix now
runs considerably above this figure,
while the Republican plurality for
Hughes in the rest of the State, which
was l2S,192 in 1908, sinks now to a
small and Insignificant sum.

ROOSEVELT COULD NOT STEM TIDE.

HE result in New York shows q surprising
falling off in the total vote. Returns from
more than wo-thirds of the voting districts of the
State tell that the Republican vote fell off 2 per
cent while the Democratic loss was only per
cent
This great apathy resulted in the election of Mr.
Dix TO be governor but not by so large majority
his supporters we're claiming. They had set
the figures as high as 100000. Naturally the ques-
ton will often be asked and never answered, What
would the majority for Dix have been had not
Colonel Roosevelt tried 10 stem the tide? And the
opponents of the Colonel will say that the con-
seryatives or stand-patters in New York State were
simply voting TO rebuke Colonel Roosevelt But IL
So how is il that Mr. Sherman's standpat candidate
for Congress, Mgan, was defeated? Why was
Mr.. Paynes majority greatly reduced2 And why
was J. Sloat Fassett defeated for reelection?
The Coonels friends are insisting to-day that
he was unable to prevent the wreck The condi-
tons were unfayorable 10 the Republican party and
as the New York Tribune, the chief Republican
newspaper of New York puts it, Into this breach
Colonel Roosevelt just back from his travels in
Africa boldly threw the fogce Of his personal pop
usrity in an attempt tossave the day. The re-
suit demonstrates that his hold upon the people,
whatever IL may be, was utterly inadequate to
change their determination TO put another party
in power in at Albany
And the Tribune adds in discussion the general
result Defeat will not cripple the Republican
party. On the contrary il will do good by giving
a rcer hand to those who have ben conscientiously
trying to make the Republican organization more
representative and more progressive"
This from the leading Republican newspaper
OF New York carries cold comfort for the stand
patters in looking 10 the future.

Not UnheaIthfuI.

New York Press.
Though the Republican party has
lost several ssats in the United
States Senate. and though il has lost
the House, the reaction from National
Repuhlicanism cannot be said TO be
unhealthful. In any case, the set
back received is chastening and in
structive to those Republican inter-
ests which persist in defying the pop
ular will.
From the returns OF this election
all Republican leadership should
learn that the only sure way to win
popular approval is to deserve it as
Democrats like Wilson and Republic
cans like LaFollette deserve it, Be
lated reform in New York is not so
attractive as continuous progress in
Wisconsin II has been shown that
not even a Theodore Roosevelt can
save his party from blind and almost
brutal reprisal when the patience Of
the voters has been tried beyond en-
