Electoral College Figures.

Now that practically complete returns
from Idaho disclose the fact that Presi-
dent Taft lost that state TO Woodrow
Wilson by more than 1000 votes. and
the latest reported returns from Cali
fornia gave that state TO Theodore
Roosevelt by plurality of a hundred or
so, revision of the electoral vote il
necessary. Allowing the ex-president all
of the votes from California, the vote
stands as follows;
Woodrow Wilson ......... 433
Theodore Roosevelt ....... 90

While these figures stand for the pres

Of California will be split and Mr.. Will

TO GUARD NAVAL SECRETS.
Ports of Naval Bases Closed to All
Foreign Vessels.

For the protection of the military
secrets of the United States, Presi-
dent Taft yesterday issued an execu-
tive order forbidding foreign vessels
to enter the following ports without
the special authority Of the Navy De
partment: Tortugas, Fla; Great
Harbor, Culebras, Guantanamo, Cuba
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Guam, and
Subig Bay, Philippine Islands.
These ports are American naval
bases. The order declared that they
were not supports of entry and should
not be made such. 1t specifically
closes the harbors to commercial and
privately owned vessels of foreign
register, as we'll as to the warships of
foreign powers, unless the Secretary
of the Navy sanctions their entry.
Most of the ports have been practi-
cally closed for some time, bat yester-
days order formally and officially
closed them. Officials declared tina,
there was no particular reason for
the action except the general policy
of guarding naval secrets. The Treas
ury Department has notified all COL
lectors of customs that importations
are not to be received at these ports.

be good all the way through from
the opening to the closing photo
play.
Miss Snowie Maybelle will enter

quest.

The Fat Man.

Paper No. XIII, Prof. f. S. Krantz,
assistant phyical instructor. U. S. N.
A parody on MAUD Muller, with
apologies to the author.
A fat man on a winter day
Got on the scales and took a weigh,
His brows went up, the scales went
high,
The fat man stood and said )" oh my.
Straight to a Turkish bath he ran,
And cried: Reduce me if you can.
They steamed, they rubbed, they
pounded fat
Who felt himself too thick and fiat.
But when twas done, they sighed
mo use;
Your weight We simply can't reduce,
He banted then, he lived on grain,
But found his dieting in vain.
He walked and walked, he climbed
the hills,
And paid the health professors bills,
He grew as firm and hard as nails,
And weighed the same upon the
scales.
With Indian clubs he sprained his
back,
And broke his mothers bric-a-brac,
He rolled upon his bedroom floor
Until his body was bruised and sore.
He drank no water with his meals
Yet still he made dents with his heels,
He tried each vain experiment.
He jumped, he danced, he bowed, he
bent.
At last he wept and gave it up,
And on fat-making foods he'd sup;
He said he had concluded that
When folks are fat, why, they are
fat.
OF all sad words heard round about,
The saddest are these: I'm getting
stout.

Speak in This State.

Democrats of this section as well
as other parts of the State, who ex-

altered his itinerary because of i'll
ness of Colonel Roosevelt.

Tomorrow is st. Luke's Day. ST.
Luke. the Evangelist, is supposed to
be the Beloved Physician" mentioned
in St. Paul. In other respects Scrip
ture is silent about ST. Luke. Tradi-
tions. however. say that he was one
of the seventy; that he preached the
Gospel in Egypt and Greece; that he
was an artist and took portraits of the
Virgin Mary and and of Christ. he
lived to the age of "a and was then
hanged upon an olive tree. The only
things of which we are tolerably GER
tain about st. Luke are that he wrote
the Gospel which bears his name and
the Acts of the Apostles. Services to-
morrow at ST. Anne's will be held as
usual on st Luke's day.
