socialists. and tha Insurgents are sure of

patr candidates in the Second, Fourth and

to defeat Anthony in the First and Camp

possible point, He assured them Omaha is
proud to be the possessor of the state

Shortly after Tennyson's poem "The

mathematician sent the poet a letter
that ran Hike this:
Dear Sir--I find ina recent poem OF
yours, entitled The Vision Of Sin.'
the following unwarranted statement:
Every moment dies man. and every
moment one Is born ] need hardly
point out that this calculation. If cor
rect, would tend to keep the sum total
of the worlds population in state Of
perpetual e1uipoise. whereas it is an
established fact that the said popula-

would therefore suggest that in the
next edition Of this poem the erroneous
calculation to which refer should be
corrected as follows: Every moment
dies a man. and one and a sixteenth is
born / may add that the exact fig
ures are 1.167.. but something must, of
