GRAY GIVEN GOOD. RECEPTION
moeTatic Candidate for Governor Ad-
dresses Virginia Audience
Yesterday Afternoon

James Gray, democratic candidate
for governor, and Thomas ]. Nc.
keon, democratic candidate for
judge of probate of St. Louis coun-
ty, we're the speakers at an after
noon rally at the Fay Opera yester.
day afternoon, aud despite the fact
that Virginians are busy class
of people we'll filled house
IN which were numbered many of
the prominent business men of the
city, listened with rapt attention.
The party was met at the depot
by the Virginia City Band and es
corted to the hall, where the speak
ers were introduced by Edw. c. A.
Johnson, Mr.. McKeon being first on
the list. His remarks were torceful
and logical, his contention that the
office of judge of probate should
be filled by competent and prac
ticing attorney meeting with ap-
proval by many. In his remarks
Mr.. McKeon kept aloof from any
personalities anent his opponent,
S. W.. Gilpin of this city, further
than a reference to the claim of Mr..
Gilpin that he has studied law and
is in readiness to take the bar ex-

weeks ago when a bar examination
was held in St. Paul-since the
campaign opened and since the
primaries were held.
In his opening remarks Mr.. Gray
stated that, while in his newspaper
work in the state for some twenty
years past he had repeatedly writ
ten of the resources and sta bility OF
Minnesota and the advantages Of
fered by this northern section, this
was his first visit in person to the
ranges and could not repress his
surprise at the industrial activity,
the evident stability and the pres-
ent and prospective prosperity of
the section.
He confined his address largely
to discussion of national issues
and the necessity of the people as.
serting their rights as against the
encroachment of special privilege,
touching upon the records of those
members of the national house
who betrayed the confidence of
their constituency by voting in dir
ect opposition to the promises
made during their campaigns
which formed the basis of the vote
accorded them.
On state issues he proclaimed
himself strictly in the line Of a pro-
gressive, expressing the idea that
the chief executive of state had
m uch to do with formulating and
urging Legislation favorable to the
peoples interests.
Repeated applause marked the
course of the addresses, and it is
safe prediction that neither of the
speakers lost friends or votes by
their appearance in Virginia-a
fact which will likely be proven
more fully at the polls on Novem-

tured. They are curious creatures
the head being very small and scarce.
ly distinguishable from the body and
the tail being formed like an oar, In
length they are generally between
three and four feet. In the jaw there
are tiny glands containing poison, but
SIS the mouth is very small it is diff

handle them fearlessly. A European
traveller witnessed an experiment at
Noumea which shows that under GER

a pair of pinchers and placed in the

THE PYGMIEs.
Curious Mode Of Life of the pwarfs of

Curious Mode of Life of the Dwarfs of
Rhodesia.
OF the pygmies of northwestern Rho
desia modern traveller writes: "The
Batwa stand about four feet high and
are long armed. short legged and ugly,
being unusually prognathous. The
legs are disproportionately short, the
feet large. and the body is covered
with sort of down. Both sexes af-
feet state Of complete nudity. They
have their own tongue. but usually
know little Of the language of their
big neighbors. No attempt is made to
till the open forest glades. They de-
pend for food on game and what they
steal from the fields and plantations
of the surrounding tribes.
Though there are seven different
tribes of pygmies. they appear to have
tom for n group of families to attach
themselves to negro chief and in re-
turn for food to assist him to fight his
enemies. The standard of morality of
these little people is high. and. strange
to say, they are remarkably intelli-
gent.
'The wild beasts living in this for
est are killed for food. even the ele-
plant Pitfalls. snares and heavily
weighted spears are used. but their
favorite way of hunting an elephant
appears to be with bow and arrow.
Poisoned arrows are shot into him,
and the great beast is followed until
he falls. when the little hunters camp
around the body and feast on the car
cass until it is finished"

The Hyde trial, with all its CHASTITY
ugliness, is illumined now and then
by the beautiful light of a true wo
mans love- than which, whether it is
mother, wife or sweetheart, there is
nothing truer or more beautiful in
this world. The loyalty, faith and
devotion of Mrs. Hyde to her unfor-
tunate and unhappy husband is a fine
display of the undying faith of a
loyal, loving woman. When the YER
dict was read, condemning her hus-
band to death, Mrs. Hyde threw her
arms around his neck and chung to
him for awhile. After she had re-
gained her composure she said: 81
am now over the first shock and am
feeling strong. l shall take immedi-
ate steps to make a motion for a new
trial. Failing in this I shall arrange
for an appeal. The case will be re-
versed in the supreme court, / am
confident, because Clark is innocent
and therefore it cannot be otherwise"

that, makes men strong; and it is
hard to believe that man with such
sweet companionship could be guilty

ference does that make? Liquor deal
ers know no law, either of their en-

rule suggests this query, however. If
more than two glasses a day is bad
for their employees, is not the excess
of that as bad for the employees of 9TH

anything, even innocent things, in

THE FIRST CLOCKS.
On, at Padua That Was a Wonder Of
Mechanism.

Mechanism.
1t was. we are told. in 1909 that the
first clock known to the world was
placed in the tower of San Eustorgio
In Milan.
The greatest astonishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
who fiocked to see the timepiece. In
1874 a clock was installed in the pal
ace OF the mobiles at Padua. This was
a wonder of mechanism indeed, for
besides indicating the hours it showed
the course of the sun, the revolutions
Of the planets. the various phases of
the moon. the months and the fetes
Of the year.
The period of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was seventy-one
years-not so very long. all things con-
sidered-and the record of the first
watch is 1880. A half century later
an alarm clock made its appearance.
This. we are told. was looked upon
by the people of that age as "un in
strument prodigieux.'
The fortunate possessor of this clock
was Andrea Alciato, a councillor of
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded a
bell at a stated hour, and at the same
time little wax candle was lighted
automatically. How this was done we
are not told, but it must not be over
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means of obtaining &
Z light other than the finder box. Sc
that the Milanese must have been cen.
turtles ahead of us in this respect.
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 174O, when the Sec
ond hand was added.-London Globe.
