PRAY Vote Is Growing.

HELENA, Nov. S.-Belated returns
from Montana today did not serve to
make q single change in the relative
positions of the various contestants or
to disturb the commanding lead Of
Woodrow Wilson and the other demo-
or attic candidates..
The returns indicate that Montana
will have a democratic senator, two
democratic congressman, q democra.
tic governor and a safe working ma
jority In both sen ate and house of the
state legislature.
Returns from 517 precincts out of
936 ia Montana have been received
here. There are seven counties from
which there are no returns, these be-
ing Broadwater, Dawson, Lincoln,
Meagher, Musselshell, Sanders and
S~weetgrass. The only decided change
these figures make in the estimate OF
the results previously printed is TO re-
duce the lead of Evans, democrat, over
Pray, for congress, to 1856. There
ia q possibility that the remaining
precincts may change the present re
suit as to Pray and Evans, but they
probably will not change the position
as to any other candidate on the
state ticket.

WHY CADETS WEAR GRAY.
Origin Of the Uniforms Used at Wes.
Point and Annapolis.

While stationed at Buffalo in the
summer of 1914 General Scott wrote to
the quartermaster for a supply of new
clothing for the regulars. Word soon
came back that blue cloth such as was
used in the army could not be obtain.
ed owing to the stringency Of the
blockade and the embargo and the lack
Of manufactures In the country, but
there wat a sufficient quantity Of gray
cloth (now known as "cadet gray') in
Philadelphia. Scott ordered it to be
made up for his soldiers, and in these
new gray suits they marched down the
Niagara river, on the Canadian side,
In the direction Of Chippewa.
It was just before the battle known
by that name, which occurred early in
July. General RIAL, the British com
mander, looked upon them with con.
tempt when preparing for battle on the
morning of the 9Th, for the Marquis Of
Tweeddale, who, with the British ad.
vance, had skirmished with them all
the day before. had reported that they

Of the Chippewa river by the fact that
1t was the anniversary Of American
independence that stimulated them.
On account of the victory won al
Chippewa on that day. chiefly by these
soldiers in gray, and in honor of Scott
and the troops that style Of cloth was
adopted at the Military academy al

Lovely, but Unwashed.

In former times even highborn la
dies and gentlemen seem not to have
troubled even to wash their hands
with any frequency. Even the fair
and witty Margaret of Navarro on one
occasion avowed her neglect Of ele.
mentary cleanliness in the frankest
way. look at these lovely hands OF
mine,' said she to n of her courters.
'"They have not been washed for eight
days, yet I'll wager they outshine
yours" In an old French manual Of
etiquette, "Loix de la Galanterie," pub
lished in 1910, the complete dandy is
advised to take trouble to wash his
hands every day and his face almost
as often"

HOW TO IMPROVE FARM STOCK
The Importance Of Always Breeding
StraiQht.

The Importance Of Always Breeding
Straight.
One Of the prime objects in mating
farm animals is to increase the hardi-
ness. No matter what other merits
the sire or dam may have, If they are
not strongly constituted they will not
impart that vigor which is so neces-
sary for successful growth. Strictly
thoroughbreds r not always in the
pink Of condition. They are very apt
to have a weakness that II impaired
to the offspring will result in failure.
So that when It comes to mating farm
animals one Of the most intricate and
difficult problems that n might be re-
quired to solve Is presented, and there
should not be any rash ventures made.
Those who are affected with the
cross craze, whether in hogs, cattle or
horses, should select the breed that
suits them best. As a general thing
the best breed for any one is the breed
one likes best or Of which one can
ecure well bred sires with the least
trouble and expense. If a man likes
4 OAoAO SAAAu u1u Gull ScL SOOU SITES
Of that breed he should by all means
breed Poland Chinas; If Chester
Whites, he should select that breed.
If he likes Tamworths for the good
they can do, especially If he has his
pigs come in May and June and keeps
them through the year, then he should
get the Tamworths.
Then in selecting males always have
the breeder give an extended pedigree
that is, a pedigree that will show the
breeding for at least four generations
on each side. Note how often it goes
back to some particular sire. Run
ming back two or three times would
no be Objectionable, possibly would
be desirable, but one should be sure
that he is not breeding so close in line
as to injure the vitality Of the herd.

MADE ALL FRANCE LAUGH.
The Political Fight Between Duma.

0btO oOU w 6\OSNs
When Dumas pere opposed Paul
de Kock for the representation of a

paign convulsed the whole of France.
Dumas address was very brief. Sub.
stantially it ran:
II have written 400 volumes and
thirty-f1ve plays. The books have
brought in 11,453,OOO francs and the
dramas 6.36O,OO0 francs. My work
and my success have kept $500 people
alive for thirty years"
Paul de Kock was more than equal
to the occasion In his reply:
IL have kept many more people
alive. My slxty-three novels have
brought in Gs,0O0,OOO francs. l live in
the Boulevard st. Martin. From s to
6 o'clock in the afternoon l sit at my
window watching the %cocoanut vend-
ers pass. All France knows it. So
not n visitor comes to Paris without
writing in his notebook that he must
not forget to so and SEE Paul de Kock
ut his window watching the %cocoanut
sellers. Each of them naturally takes
the omnibus to get to the Boulevard
