unless the few election districts still
to be heard from change the result
registered today at the states first
presidential primary. The result was
close and Colonel Roosevelt, on the
face of the returns had but one
more than the number of votes neces-
sary to control the state convention.
The primaries divided the delegates
to the state convention as follows:
Republicans: Roosevelt Sc; Taft
6S.
Democrats: Clark 70; Wilson A;
Harmon A; in doubt 8.
Majority necessary to control con-
65.
Delegates Are Bound.
State delegates elected are bound
to choose a delegation to the national
convention favorable to the presi-
Dental candidates for whom the peo-
pie today expressed their preference
Speaker Clarke led steadily from
the time the first returns arrived
from the Baltimore wards. Early in
the evening It looked as If Roosevelt
would win by an equally big majority
but shortly before midnight returns
rom the strong Taft counties put the
president suddenly ahead with SO del

Prince Georges county that decided.

BOY WILL MAKE Diplomat

to have his young friends come and

pens that boy who is persona non
grata with Paul will drop In for SIT
In and then the host grows FESTIVE.
The stories, he stoutly tells his moth
err. are for him and his friends only.
The presence of others spoils the re-
cital.
1t was on recent evening, In the
midst of fairy tale, that kid for
whom Paul entertains no friendship,
dropped In with the others, and Inn
mediately Paul smiled Then he spoke
up, interrupting the tale, saying,
"Bilke Wilke amt got no sore on bis
hand"
yves, he has, too rejoined the I'M
welcome boy. 7 seen him only TO-
day"
Don't care said Paul, stolldly.
Billy Wilke amt got no sore on his
hand"
Again the other boy denied 1t, but
Paul kept right on reasserting the
statement.
"Ill just 60 and See finally said
the other boy. Il seen him today and
I'm just going to prove Billy Wilke
has sore on his hand"
After he had gone, Paul, turning to
his astonished mother, said, Il knew
I'd get him to go. Please 60 on with

TOWER Of ENEMIES HEADS
Monument OF Modern Barbarian

A strange monument Of modern
Darbarism still survives at Nish In
southeast Servia. During the war Of
independence in 1909 the Servian gar
rison here exploded a powder maya
zine and persisted therein rather than
fall into the hands of the Turks
A battle had previously taken place
and the Turks commemorated their
victory by erecting a rude tower, or
namented with the heads Of their enc
mics Old people will tell you that
tnere were once 1900 heads, but az
the tower was never more than rs feet
nigh, this is probably an exaggeration.
