SHE DID HER SHOPPING EARLY.

synpathizlng with the salesgirls in stores
throughout the city,
Ono thoughtful little woman said: ITO
them ! will show pity;
IT will not wait for Christmas week,
when comes the rush and row,
But choose the presents will make and
do my buying now,
For Christmas week will find tho girls
worn out with extra toll,
unable to please every one caught In
the mad turmoil"
So this sympathetic woman went forth
the stores to roam,
Did her Christmas shopping early and
took the parcels home.
She took the parcels homo with her. while
some fine people sneered.
But knew she'd helped delivry men, and
pitied all who Jeered:
Thus she went on from day to day until
she ceased to buy.
Having had first chance in choosing-few
other buyers nigh.
And those salesgirls and the statesmen
Just voted her dear"
AL hoping that she'd como to them and
buy again next year;
Meanwhile they sound this slogan to the
celestial dome:
''she did Christmas shopping early and
took the parcels home"

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

a recent decision OF the Supreme Court
Of the State OF Washington UNFOLDING the
right OF the city OF Tacoma TO enforce
an anti-treating ordinance In saloons has
aroused much interest and comment The
court. answering tho old argument that
treating Is an act OF hospitality which
has always been exercised by free
people and right OF the purchaser OF
liquor not TO be prohibited" says: In
our opinion II is Of no weight whatever
In support OF a practice which becomes
recognized as q source OF evil and a
menace to public morality and good order
Just as the right to engage In the liquor
traffic Is not an inherent right In any
citizen, neither is II an inherent right in
any citizen to treat another in a licensed
saloon which is under the control Of the
police power being exercised by a mu-
nicipality. as in this case. Whatever the
right OF the citizen may be elsewhere, he
has no inherent right even to buy liquor
at such place"
"Of course. you know the story OF the
hare and the tortoise2"
Yes" replied Uncle Raspberry: 81

Cuban Liberals are doing their own
country poor service in railing against
the result of the recent election and re-
Wiling the United States. This country
has no wish to intervene again In
Cuban affairs, and no intention Of doing
80 II It can possibly be avoided, and 1t
hopes and expects that the necessity
will not arise. But It must be said
frankly that II anything In the world
were likely to lead straight to condi-
lions which would necessitate interven-
ton, It would be Just such spirit as
these disaffected politicians are now
showing. The United States does not
care whether Conservatives or Liberals
are In office In Cuba, SO long as they
give the island stable and efficient
government, such as II interviewed In
1895 to establish and II II had to in
tervene again II would be no moro re-
luctant to do so In behalf Of a Liberal
than Of a Conservative administration
What the Cubans need to learn Is to &C
cept Loyalty the results Of their own
elections, and to seek to change them
only by constitutional methods. A con-
spiracy to paralyze an administration
which some OF them do not like is in
principle scarcely less pernicious than
open rebellion with force and arms.

It ia gratifying to know that our navy

actually more cheaply than It could get
them done at any private establish
ment It is desirable that the govern

sufficient unto itself and able to sup
ply its own requirements, as well as
that It should be able TO get all its sup
plies at the lowest possible figure-pro-
vided, Of course. that the quality be Of

the navy yards and arsenals are as
efficient In their way and work as are

that they shall be kept so II our navy in

SOME TALK OF MEAD.
In Connection with ce-Presidential
Place on Republican Ticket

New York, Nov. s.-Comment on the
approaching election Of Republican
vice-presidential nominee to receive the
l2 electoral votes Of Idaho, Vermont
and Utah, has brought out the fact that
several members OF the Republican ma
tional committee favor the designation
of nominee from one of those states.
The results of Tuesdays election have
made the filing of President Sher-
mans place on the ticket an appoint
ment of purely an honorary character,
and suggestions have been made here
that the honor should 80 to some Re-
publican from one of the three states
carried by Taft. In this connection SEN
ator Borah of Idaho. who has been sug-
gested by several members of the com
mittee, and Ex-Governor Mead of Ver-
mont, whose name was proposed before
the Chicago convention, are both fav-
ored.
While the national committee meets
in Chicago November IL to select the
candidate, II is not bound to designate
any person, il majority Of the commit
tee members favor leaving the nomina-
tion to the electors themselves. Such
action would make it possible for each
group of four Republican electors to
east their votes for men from their re-
spective states.
II the national committee makes the
designation Governor IIadley Of Mis-
souri, will in any event have the sup
port OF large number OF the members.

Joseph Collar Drowned in Wor-
cester Branch, Near Montpelier
SWEPT DOWN BY CURRENT
Drove Team into Swollen River and
Vehicle Capsized-0 Occupant Was Safe
Until He Tried to Rescue Ami
NAL in Mid-stream.

While attempting to ford the swollen
waters of Worcester branch near Put
namsville early this morning, Joseph
Collar of Worcester, aged 50, was drown
ed and at a late hour this afternoon alG
efforts to locate his body had proven
fruitless. Mr.. Collar was the father of
Mrs Harry Dingwall of this city and
had made his home in Worcester many
years. The accident occurred around
o'clock this morning at point halfway
between Putnamsville and Worcester
village. Mr.. Collar had been employed
as a sawyer on numbering job at the
Frank Hutchinson farm.
Customarily the man drove from his
home to the Hutchinson farm and tor
reach his work he was obliged to ford
the branch. This morning the little,
stream had been transformed to a tor.
rent and other workmen who preceded
Collar had taken another route to reach
the Hutchinson farm. Collar reached
the bank and decided TO take chance
on reaching the opposite side in safety.
Accordingly, he urged his horse into the
stream and things went well enough un
til the outfit had reached the middle
where the rapids are swiftest. Half way
to the opposite bank, the hurrying cur
rent swept the horse from its feet and
the carriage with its lone occupant was
overturned. BY this time. it scems
several persons had gathered ON the
shore
Almost as soon as the vehicle cap
sized Mr.. Collar was seen to reach his
feet in the shallow but swiftly flowing
water, the horse and carriage going
down stream at the same time. Collar
evidently had reached sure footing and
appeared to be in no immediate danger
when three men on the bank set out to.
save the horse. Collar was advised to
retain his position until help arrived, but
according to eye witnesses, he seemed
bent on saving the horse himself Be-
fore the spectators had time to gain a.
vantage point down the stream, the man
in the middle of the branch had plunged
IN after the horse 1T was the last
seen Of him. With the aid Of rope the
horse was pulled from its precarious po-
,ition shortly afterwards. Collars body

SENATE AS
WELL AS HOUSE
Democrats Will Have Control
According to Figures
ALREADY HAVE N48 VOTES
And There Are Six States to Be Heard
from efinitely--Marshal Will Cast
Another Vote in Their Favor
if Necessary.

Washington, d. c., Nov s.-Control
of the Senate in the 63d Congress is now
practically assured to the Democrats,
Conceding to the Republicans the legis-
latures of all states still in the doubt
| ful column, the Democrats will have a
vote OF IS, or just one-half OF the entire
membership of the Senate, with Dem
ocratic vice. president in the chair TO
cast the deciding ballot in case of u
tie. Six states are yet to be heard from
definitely. A senator from one of these
would give the Democrats a clear major
ity and it is possible that their strength
will be even further increased by win
ming in several.
Kansas has been added to the Demo
cratic column in the past "a hours, The
states in which the complexion Of the
legislatures is vet to be decided are:
Illinois, Michigan, Oregon, South Dako-
ia, Tennessee and Wyoming. Ordinarily
Tennessee could be relied upon to help
the Democratic party, but the factional
fight there may prevent in this crisis.
In Illinois there are complications
growing out Of the multiplicity of par
ties, rendering it uncertain whether
there will be senatorial election. In
that state there should be chosen a
successor to the deposed Senator Lori
mer, as we'll as to Senator Cullom, whose
term expires March 4. If there should
be no election, the effect would favor
the Democrats by reducing the member
ship of the Senate to "a, of which num-
Der the 4s already chosen would be a
working majority
Whatever the outcome in any Of the
states mentioned there can be no doubt
as to Democratic control in the Sen
ate.
In addition to the aid of the vice.
president in an emergency, they will find
willing cooperation among the progress
sve senator's. Three or four of the Pro-
gressives are almost as liberal in their |
tariff views and on other questions as
the Democrats themselves. Senators |
rlapp, La Toilette, Cummins, Gronna,
Bristow and pondexter are all ayowed |
tariff reformers. They also favor ad
sanced legislation on other subjects. /
Senator Works announced bis intention |

lection. This determination was due,
however. to peculiar combination OF

Of the 81 hold-over Republicans, eight
lave been classed as Progressives in the

Kansas, Crawford OF South Dakota, 1

ieasures as may appeal to them. /,

ADDITIONAL WILSON GAINS
Are Discovered as the Count Goes On in
Illinois

Chicago. Nov. S.-Late returns give
additional gains to Governor Wilson in
Illinois and his plurality went up from
9437 to 1902. Official figures from
Clay county changed plurality for
Roosevelt of 1893 to plurality for Will
son of 200.
y. Other additions to the Wilson column
came in the belated returns from Of
precincts.
1t became apparent early yesterday
that Wilson soon would tie, if not pass,
Roosevelt's vote. Throughout the day
Wilson's gain rose gradually. Then,
when he was approximately 5000 ahead
of Roosevelt, it was discovered that the
president elect had been credited err
roneously with 5000 too many votes
from Livingston county. This decreased
plurality gave hope to the Progressves,
but it was short-lyed, for almost every
precinct reported from then on increased
Wilson's lead.
Edward i. Dunno, Democrat, carried
Illinois for governor by plurality of
llo,654, with 202 precincts not heard
from.

ROOSEVELT FAR AHEAD.
His Plurality in Pennsylvania Took
Another Jump.

Philadelphia, Nov s.--As was expect
ed, Theodore Roosevelt's plurality over
Governor Woodrow Wilson in Pennsyl-
vania took another jump last night upon
the completion of the count in number
of additional counties. Including esti-
mates from ll6 missing districts in Allie
cheney county, which are unavailable
Colonel Rooseyelts plurality now stands
at 44.3ll. The official count, it is be-
lieyed. will send the Roosevelt plurality
to about 10000 The complete vote so
far as computed stands: Roosevelt, 42s,-

COMMITTEE sHAKE-UP NECESSARY
In the Next Congress, Many Democrats
Not Returning.

| Washington, d. c., Nov. Although
Democratic control of the House of Rep
resentatives by a greatly increased ma
jority is assured, general shake-up oil
the personnel of the important House
committees in the next Congress will
be necessary.

the tariff policies of the Wilson admin
istration, was riddled by the election.

Republican tariff policy. were not can
didates at the polls, and Ebenezer Hill
of Connecticut, James c. Needham of
California and Nicholas Longworth of
Ohio were beaten. Serene T. Payne of
igan may be the only Republicans left.
The election of Representative Sulzer
as governor of New York leaves vacant
the chairmanship of the important for
eign affairs committee. Flood of Vir-
ginia is ranking member of the commit
tee. but he declined the chairmanship
two years ago to accept the less inn
portant territories committee. Either
he or Garner of Texas is expected to get
the place.

Texas to the Senate. if seniority is fol-
lowed, will move Representative Bur
nett OF Alabama to the chairmanship of
