AND now comes the highly en-
bossed tale through the Duluth
Herald that the Democratic candi-
date for Congress will have walk
away with Congressman Miller at
the polls on November 8. How
the Herald can conjure up its inn
agination to this startling state
ment is hard to imagine. The vote
on Miller and Mcknight, two Re-
publican candidates, was so over
whelmingly for Miller that it
left no chance for a doubt.
AS to the Mcknight vote
going to Jaques, that is all political
buncombe of the most absurd kind
The Republicans had a choice in
their own party, but when it comes
to endorsing a Democrat for a
National place they are not there
with the endorsing to any alarming
extent. During the first term of
Congressman Miller he has made a
name for himself that listens good
to the people of this district and he
will be given a chance to go back
and complete the labors begun.

Who was renominated to succeed
himself to the important place he
now holds. The people evidently
were satisfied with Mr.. Miller
efforts in behalf of the district and
work accomplished during his first
term, as was plainly evidenced by
the vote at the primaries.
Districts that were claimed by the
opposition and in which unlimited
work had been done for his adver-
sary, went for Miller strong, dis
tricts directly opposed to him two
years ago.

His Profitable
kllSe By Bryant c. Rogers

Every morning for four or five
years Clyde Bennett had disan-
peared from his club and society for
three or four weeks and had re-
turned to tell of the number of
ducks he had shot in the interval
and what good time he had had in
doing it. Those who had taken in
terest enough to question him had
been told that he had gone down on
the shore of Long Island sound, but
they soon forgot it. They couldn't
shoot, and they didn't care to rough
it.
Winter had passed, spring had
come, and Mr.. Bennett was missing
as usual. He had been welcomed
by the landlord of the country tav-
ern and told that ducks were fying
and that he could not get into his
old suit too quickly. Roughing it
consisted of an old suit of corduroy.
with an old hat to match-no sha-
ving,a briar-root instead of a cigar,
and wading or padding about the
marshes for ten hours a day.
Mr.. Bennett had not concerned
himself much about the inhabitants.
At the north end of the range there
was large manor house. He could
not help seeing it, and he had won-
dered who lived there. On his las,
years hunt he had caught sight of q
young lady driving a pony and
phaeton to the village and back. He
had been too far away to judge of
her appearance, but CALAMITY de-
cided that she was at least reasonably

Hon. Martin A. Knapp, chairman Of
the interstate commerce commission,
believes there will be a tremendous
increase in railroad tonnage this fall.
and he doubts the ability of the car
riers to handle the goods. The great
crops and the general revival of bust
ness mean a big demand for freight
cars, with the likelihood of scarcity
and congestion similar to the condi-
tons of two and three years ago. Pru-
dence would dictate, as the Wall Street
Summary suggests. that the railroad
companies make immediate provision
for an increase of equipment. In
deed, that journal maintains that there
should be always reserve of 20 per
cent. of the number of cars in COM
mon use, for the periods of emergency
and pressure. The car builders should
get move on, and thus keep the track
clear for the procession of revivins
business.

handsome. There the matter hat

handsome. There the matter had
rested. He was out to shoot ducks.
On this spring he had been down
four days before he caught sight Of
the phaeton and its driver. He had
just stepped ashore, from his boat,
and picked up the five ducks he had
killed to return to the hotel, when
pony and vehicle came driving from
the direction of the manor house.
The driver was the girl of the year
before. :
She was good looking. The color
of her hair was brown, of her eyes
hazel. She had fine mouth, chin
with dimple in it, and the pose Of
her head was artistic. Having
spoiled about twenty canvases trying
to become an artist, Mr.. Bennett
was qualified to judge of poses and
poises. He stepped aside for the
vehicle to pass, but it did not pass.
1t stopped and the young lady
looked full at him. He would have
taken off his hat, but it was tied on |;
he would have parted with his four
days growth of beard, but there
were no shaving conveniences; he
would have liked at least a paper
collar, but all collars were far away.
"Aly man." said the young lady
after looking him over, 81 suppose
YOU are shooting ducks for the New
York market?"
"Yes'm-for the Blank-Blank ho-
tel" was the reply.
"Well, l will pay you the same as
they do for a few pairs. Mother,
sister and I are very fond of them,
but no one aroundshere goes in for
shooting. Could you sell me three
pairs a week until we get tired of
them ?"
81 think So"
"And how much will they be?"
The hunter looked up into those
hazel eyes, rubbed his stubby beard
in reflective way, and then replied !:
"Wall, young lady, bein' as | am
a leetle hard up for cash jest now,
we'll say a dollar a pair. [ get
three times as much for 'em in New
York"
II suppose you do, and | know
you are certainly giving me bar
gain. Will you bring pair OF those
you have to the house? Please leave
them at the kitchen door with the
cook. Here is your dollar"

A bank wrecker In Wisconsin has
been sent to the penitentiary for ten
years. The only way to break up this
sort OF high finance is to treat its prac-
titioners as common thieves who sim
ply take other peoples property with
out any formality or technically.
When the man who wrecks a bank by
juggling its finances is put on plane

THE POOR HEN PHEAsANr.

M. Rostand, the author of the new
play, Chanticler, that has excited so
much attention because its characters
are all birds, says that the hen pleas
ant of Chanticler represents the
modern woman, emancipated, indie
pendent, domineering, jealous Of
mans work. She claims to subject
the male to her affection and only
submits in the end when she is mas
tered, perhaps with the secret hope
Of having her revenge.
