that the two Democratic candidates swept in with the success of Wilson and the state ticket, but this was not conceded by the opposing managers.
 In Illinois the latest indications were that the legislature would be so close as between Republicans and Dem ocrats that the Progressives and So- cialists would hold the balance of power in the election of successors to Cullom and Lorimer, Republicans.
 Returns from Montana showed Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat, in the lead, and probably elected, but this was not conceded.
 The race in Oregon is doubtful.
 Stubbs, Republican, was leading in Kansas.
 Massachusetts elected a Republican legislature to choose the successor Of Crane, Republican, retired.
 Nelson, Republican, was reelected in Minnesota.
 Norris, Republican, in Nebraska, was leading, but by small margin.
 The result in Iowa depends on the complexion of the assembly. which may not be determined for several days. Kenyon, Republican, is the in cumbent.
 The same situation prevails in South Dakota, where the returns are still too meager to forecast a result.

The Word "strIke."

The earliest use Of the word
Strike" in the sense Of stopping work
occurs in the London Chronicle for
September, 1765. in connection with a
coal strike. This publication reports
a great suspension of labor IN the
Northumberland coalhelds, and the
GOLFERS are stated. to have struck
out" for a higher bounty before enter

The time-honored illustration of profit

first slap in the face during this

TASK FINDS THEM PREPARED
Men Who Do Great Things, 1t viii Be
Discovered, Have Looked For
ward to the Work.

There are a great number of stories
of men who have seemed to do a great
thing in a casual way. It will invar
iably be found that they have not
only been making ample preparations
by study, discipline, and experience
but they have constantly tested their
capacity, as wrestler tests his, by
bouts with all the strong men he can
meet.
When a man does a great thing
there are some people who always
will set it down to luck rather than
to his capacity, but it is an interesting
thing that a man may have such 6
stand-in, as it were, with this tickle
and tricky thing. 1t is quite common
to hear capable people say: 20,
am always lucky" They are really
in measure unconscious of the GER
tainties of their capabilities.
The world is just beginning to wake
up to the fact that natural resources
in the way of ability have been vast
ed or monopolized as great natural
physical resources have been. The
psychologist and the sociologist are
doing what they can to make this fact
understood. The lesson that men with
all sorts of handicaps have attained
greatness has not until recently been

front the grit of the man or woman as
nothing else could have done, yet we
are prone to believe that such excep
tional ability will out.

Minute Men.

The so-called organization of Min
ute Men came into existence shortly
before the outbreak of the Revolution
The patriots of Massachusetts and
other New England colonies banded
themselves together, obtained arms
and pledged themselves to the de
tense of the colonies "at a minutes
notice" From this pledge to take up
arms Eat minutes notice" they got
their name.
The Minute Men were enrolled In
pursuance of the act of the Provin.
cial congress, which was passed on
November 23, 1774. Many names that
were destined to become famous in
the Revolution appeared in this roster
Of patriots. In the beginning they
were expected to serve only in the
New England colonies, but when the
conflict came no thought was taken OF
this. The Massachusetts, Historical
society has a list OF the patriots who
we're enrolled as Minute Men.

The little French boy has every op.
