pointing out the Importance of his sub
ject in this country at this time,
when over million people have ex-
pressed their favor Of Socialistic doc
trines. 10000 are members of fra

are found in the colleges of the
country and in the schools where the
teachers Of youth themselves are train,

A HAIR RAISING VIGIL.
Story Of the Fearful Predieamens OF q
Hindu Hunter.

Hindu Hunter.
An extraordinary tale OF q hiAun
hunters presence of mind and self
control is told by Ernest Young in
"Adyentures Among Hunters ami
Trainers" on the authority Of Colonel
Campbell. a British officer in the In
dian service. \ tiger had carried on
a number OF cattle from the vicinity
OF q small village in lRdia. Bussapa'

end to these depredations, found where
the beasts lair was. fastened up u

near it-but well 10 leeward-to watch
His only protection In case OF attack
on the part Of the tiger was a small
bush. Soon after sunset the tiger put

lock and began his supper. While he
was gorging himself with the warm
flesh and blood Of his victim Bussapa
thrust his long, clumsy matchbox
through the bush and fred.
The tiger was wounded. but not
killed. Bussapa was only a few yards
away, completely defenseless. Had he
dared to reload his movements would
have proclaimed his whereabouts. His
bare knees were pressed against the
gravel, which was cutting into his
flesh.
There he knelt. getting sitter ana

the tiger, growing hoarsely over his
evening meal and keeping one eye on
the bush, whence he appeared to sus-

The pain Of his cramped position
increased every moment. Suspense be
came almost intolerable. but the mo-
ton Of q limb. the rustling OF a lear
would have been death. He heard the
gong OF the village strike each hour OF
that fearful night. The mosquitoes
swarmed round his face. but he dared
not brush them of.
Al length the welcome dawn begar

the approach OF the day the tiger rose
and stalked away. growing sulkily, 4

ELECTION NIGHT

II might be well to dwell upon an
other side of election day. to some a
little more entertaining than a resume
of political events. forecasts and sta
~tistics. In every city and In many
towns and villages the bulletin board
plays an important pert on election.
Around 1t are gathered. according to
the size Of the locality, hundreds or
thousands Of citizens. waiting for the
returns, which come In frequently by
wire and are posted for the benefit of
the anxious enthusiasts.
In the larger cities special stands are
erected, from which the results are re
fected by magic lanterns on to great
white sheets out IN the open. A sea
of humanity stands below these. and
as each numeral Is thrown OH the
sheet. showing victory for n or the
other OF the candidates. a cheer goes
up from the crowd. while extra good
news is received with deafening ap-
plause. which echoes and re-echoes
from thousands Of threats for many
minutes.
In cities like Chicago. New York.
Boston and San Francisco the theaters
show the results Of the election at DIFF
ferent times during their perform
ances. while in Il big year like the
present private parties gather in the
homes of wealthy men, where special
wires are installed. and at the political
clubs the members and their friends
are treated TO first hand information.
Another incident Of election day
which has become popularized In ON
places is the Mardi Gras. In New
York city in recent years II has OBJ
tanned a big following. There the
city's principal streets are clogged with
excited crowds soon after o O'Clock.
Multitudes from suburban districts add
to the size of the crowd. and all are
armed with horns and other noise max
ing implements. with which they give
vent to their jubilation at each gain
Of their favorite candidate.

NEW FACTOR IN CAMPAIGN

The situation so far as any likely pre-
dictions go can t~ruthfully be called
chaotic. The Progressive party has
been largely responsible for lntroduc-
ing an air of more than ordinary I'M
certainty. This party has put the wo-
man suffrage issue Into a more con-
crete form. and this fact increases he
uncertainty of the result. About 1000
600 women will vote for president. and
II would be impossible TO guess Alright
which way this big vote will go in
consequence of the many recent eff
forts to court the favor Of the suffra-
gists.
or vast Importance In this election IS
the senatorial fight. as q change OF
i've members would reverse the contro
of that august body. Here again the
Progressive party has been a disturb
ing factor for the two big parties. as
II has put up candidates in most Of
the states. IL may be that the OUT

ed. will be that no one party VIII have
a clear majority. while a presidential
landslide might change this condition

A feature OF the senatorial situation
on the Democratic side has been the
battle between Woodrow Wilson and
James Smith. Jr.. Of New Jersey. for
merry a United States senator from
that state. Smith was n of Wilson's

men had a falling out and became I'm
placable political enemies. When VIII
son won the nomination Smith said the
personal fight was ove and he would
join Wilson's supporters. The trou-
