The Taft vote in the Blue Grass state
failed to materialize, and in many dis
tricts was scarcely noticeable. The
total vote was the heaviest in years.
In the Eleventh district H. HI. Seavy,
Progressive, defeated Caleb Powers
for congress. In Louisville Roosevelt
and Wilson ran neck and neck.
Tennessee, despite the hopes of the
Progressives, refused to be turned
aside from it's usual position in the
Democratic galaxy OF states and gave
Wilson a comfortable plurality.
Pennsylvania for T. r.
Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania by
a plurality Of about 100000 Taft was a
poor third in the race in the Keystone
state The early returns seemed to in
dictate that the vote of the state would
go for Taft. These figures were
based on returns from the city of
Philadelphia, but when the outside
towns were heard from it was seen
that Roosevelt was booming along at
a rate that would wipe out completely
what advantage the vote of the Qua
ker city was giving the president.
Iowa has moved over into the Dem
ocratic column. Wilson will carry the
state by safe margin. The early re-
turns indicated victory for Roose-
welt, but the complete figures wiped
out his plurality and gave the states
electoral vote to the Democratic can
didate.
Rhode Island and Vermont remained

GRAND OLD TREE FOR A SONG.

Walnut for 25 Cents.


Bristol, Pa.-At a big country sale
on the property of william Parry the
last article to be auctioned off was n
large walnut tree standing in the front
dooryard-an offering unique for such
a sale of house and farm belongings.
There was "a string on the tender.
however, as Mr.. Perry stipulated that
the buyer must cut down the tree and
remove it with its roots within two
days time of the purchase.
"How much am l bid on the finest
old onarc of the ~forest?" cried the
auctioneer.
TWENTY-FIVE cents, under all the
conditions" responded Samuel Long
shore, Mr.. Parry's next door neigh
Dor. and as hat was the only bid,
despite appreciative crying from the
block, down went the grand old wal
nut. ultimately, and for only a quar-
ter!
1t was a rare sacrifice in view OF
the fact that countless timber buy
ers, hunting keen-eved up n dowr
the state have frequently offered from
$40 to $40 each for smaller, poorer
walnut trees. Bnut it cost a pretty
penny to get it away from Parry:

days.

How many are familiar with the

fierce onslaught upon the herds of

the open sea a seething mass of foam
as they dash about in their frenzy,
constitute pictures which are requir-
