THE ELECTION RESULT

The election of Woodrow Wilson
was a foregone conclusion. The prob
able result has been apparent for
weeks and even those who were par
tisans OF either Roosevelt or Tart,
felt that the outcome was inevitable.
The ardor of craftsmanship will now
subside and the country will recog-
nize in its newly chosen president a
fine scholarly man of the highest
ideals and purpose. He is a man to
be admired and trusted and will sus-
tain the high standard of the great
men who have preceded him during
the past century and quarter.
Those of us who are believers in a
protective tariff are a little worried
at the prospect of radical tarih
changes, but our friends of the Demo
cratic party feel equally sure that
their theories are better than ours,
and inasmuch as they have won. we
will hope that they are right.
There will be some bitter recr'ml-
nation between the Republicans and
the Progressives Each will accuse
the other of splitting the party and
each will prove it to his own satisfac-
ton. In the meantime de situation
will eventually clear itself in spite OF
all political talk end buncombe.

A very simple bead tassel can be
made from deep fringe or from loose
beads
If you use loose beads you must
thread forty lengths of seventy beads
each or twenty lengths of 100 beads II
a double end is preferred to a single
one. Each length is attached TO a
narrow strip of satin ribbon, which is
tiien wound round and round and
stitched through to prevent the middle
of the little bundle from slipping.
II the tassel is made OF fringe cut off
five inches and wrap the heading round
and sew as described above. Next
take a piece of stiffening one inch and
a half long. two inches broad at one
end and three-quarters of an inch at
the other. Cover with silk and over
sew the edges together so as to form a
tube.
slip the satin ribbon inside the lar
ger aperture in the tube and stitch
through securely. for the beads make
tassel very heavy. Thread about 200
beads and wind the string round the
tube to completely cover the silk, sew

of eighty beads. double into three and
sew to the top to form loop.

ANsoNs 22.YEAR RECORD
His Grand Batting Average .377 and
Fielding Average .e75

In all the annals of baseball there is
no playing record TO surpass the one
that "The Grand Old Man OF Base
ball" Adrian c. Arson. made as a
member OF the Chicago National
league club
While tie national sport vas grow
ing up from infancy AM Chicago was
establishing itself on the baseball map
through the achievements of its nigh
ty White Stockings. Arson was build
ing for himself a record that challeng
es belief even in this day of diamond
wonders.
TO remain with a club for % long
years is one thing OF no little note;
to serve as manager and captain of
the club in addition to playing a reg
ular position for q of those % sea-
sons is an even lengthy period the
wonderful period grand batting aver
age of 337 bespeaks a feat without
parallel in all the years of the ma
tons favorite sport.
Nowadays it means mark of hon
or to a player to bat above 300 for
even single season, but how many
of the modern stars viii be able to
keep it up for % seasons in success
sion, even though not bearing the ad-
litional burdens of the management
and captaincy? II is doubtful if An
sons record will ever be equalied. 1t
certainly stands out at present in a
class of its own and as mark for
young players to shoot at,
nd hac
man with Chicago in the first year of
the National league, 1876, and it was
not until 1879 that he went to the po-
sition in which he was to rank as one
of the greatest of stars.
During his % years of service with
the Chicago Nationals Arson PLAYED
in the remarkable total of 2250 games
makil the wonderful average of .c37
in batting and 1915 in fielding. In
S947 times at bat he made 1865 hits.
and out of the great total of 22,e45
fielding chances he missed only 500,
the latter being the astonishingly
small number of errors he made
against 21,27S putouts and 1871 as
sists.
Arson managed the Chicago club
from 1887 to 1897 inclusive, but he
was constantly at loggerheads with
James A Hart after the latter became
president of the club in 1892. and in
the fall of 1897 the Grand Old Man
was released, closing a playing ca
reer at Chicago that is without an
equal in all the baseball life of that
city. Thomas Burns was made man
ager after the release of Arson.

They are neither pure beeswax nor

Apply a very thin coat Of this pre-

Is TO use far too much wax. Only a
thin film should be left upon the floor.
and this should be permitted to set for
twenty or thirty minutes before using
the weighted brush. This is rubbed

of soft brussels carpeting under the
brush will increase the luster.

COAL SHORTAGE
Likely to Be Suffering in New Eng
land Towns

Boston. Nov.-The scarcity of an
thracite coal in New England is likely
to lead to suffering in case the wealth
er should become normal. Dealers
here have enough to meet moderate
demands, but they say that there is
no prospect of coal being any more
easily obtainable within the next
month.
Some of the dealers foresee a great
er scarcity than at the present time,
which will necessitate a rise in the
price before the end of another month.
Providence reports large receipts
recently by water, and dealers in 9TH
er cities say they cannot account for
the apparent discrimination in favor
of Rhode Island.
The New Haven road yesterday Is
sued an appeal to receivers of coal
to unload the cars promptly so that
they may be returned TO the mines.
In many places there is also a.famine
in cement due to delayed shipments.
The coal situation in the interior is
accurately represented by this extract
from ST. Johnsbury, VT, newspaper.
"There is not a pound of hard coal
in ST. Johnsbury that can be bought
today, and the dealers are unable to
tell when they will have any for de-
livery. George P. Moore, in converse
ton with Burlington dealer. was in
formed that he could not expect coal
for a month. Moore ordered the coal
for the public school building last
June, and not a pound of 1t has been
delivered as yet
"E. T. and H. X. lde Company or
dered 1000 tons of hard coal last June
and not ton of it has been delivered
They have options to buy of the indie
pendents' at exorbitant prices"
In one Massachusetts town the To-
cal paper reports that individuals are
receiving coal in carload lots, while
dealers declare they can get none.
Montpelier. VT, Nov. 4.-The win
ter prospects threaten severe suffer
ing among the poor and discomfort
| throughout the State owing to the
coal shortage. One dealer divided
two carloads just received into half
tons to meet the demand. selling at
| $7.75 and IS cash, and at Barre and
Mortified, $3.50 and $S.75
The school supply ordered in June
has not been delivered

HOW TO TREAT sPRAINs.
Never Try to Walk OF Effects of Such
an injury.


A sprain is a twisting or wrenching
of a joint with tearing of the ligaments
and surrounding soft parts. There may
also be some injury to the cartilages,
and even portions of the bone to which
the ligaments are attached may be
torn away. Accompanying these in
juries there is more or less escape of
blood into the joint Itself and surround
ing tissues.
Sprains are most important injuries,
and permanent disability frequently
follows from failure to give them the
proper immediate care. Severe sprains
are even more serious than fractures
There is nothing more dangerous than
to attempt to walk OFF, a sprain of the
ankle-advice frequently given TO the
recipient of such an injury.
In recent sprains the first thing Is to
prevent any further effusion Of blood
into the joint. This may be accom-
plished by the use of pressure and cold
applications. Elevate the limb and APP
ply firm bandage to the joint. An ice
cap may then be applied, or the band
age may first be wrung out in cold
water and then applied. Such a band
age should not be put on too tightly, as
later, on becoming dry. II Is apt to
shrink. Lead water and laudanum is
useful application for the relief OF pain.
If pain persists under the use of cold.
hot applications should be tried. Ere
quently by immersng the part in very
hot water for several hours the pain
will be entirely relieved.
AS swelling and pain subside slight
movements of the joint aud gentle mas
sage should be practiced daily. In the
intervals keep the part immobilized by
splints.

windows as the one escape from the
roaring fire,
Under one Of the windows stood a
negro blacksmith of powerful statue
with an approximation of super-human
strength, catching many in his power
full arms and so breaking the fall as to
save their lives This hero in the dread
full drama was Gilbert Hunt. who lived
to ripe old age full of honors and died
not MANY years back revered by all and
loved by many in the city of Richmond.
Among the victims, numbering sew
enty-two was the governor of Virginia,
a bride and groom, with many of the
fairest and noblest who have ever lent
distinction to that beautiful city of the
South.
This black cloud rose high in the
national sky, casting a gloom over every
quarter of the land. Way up in New
England states called extra sessions of
their legislatures and adopted resolu-
tons of sympathy with proffers of aid
for Virginia so sorelY smitten in the
season of glad tidings to the Christian
world.
Now a problem invited the best
thought of the state. A blackened
spot with its shudder of an unbearable
memory was in the heart of the city.
The spot might be eradicated but the
memory written by the hand of fate was
there to live. How was it to be dealt
with was the bitter problem asking solu-
ton. With this object in view repre-
sentative and influential committee was
formed with Chief Justice John Mar
shall, whose virtues and learning lent
an imperishable lustre to the high tri-
bunal over which he presided so long,
was the chairman. 1t was decided to
erect over the RUNS of the great fire a
church to be known as the Monumental
Church. with an ample stone urn as a
fit receptacle for the ashes of the dead
by that fire, and to stand close to the
front entrance of the sacred edifce.
Judge Marshall was a member and
vestryman of the Protestant Episcopal
church and in that faith the old "Monu-
mental Church" continues as place of
worship, with the urn still standing as
a grim reminder to generations of such
Christening as God but seldom visits
even upon an offending people.
But, we should never cease to remem-
