THE ELECTION RESULTS.

Late election returns do not ma
terfally change the conditions indi-
Gated in the lntelllgencer OF yester-
day morning.
The Democratic party has gained n
sweeping victory in the nation at
large. Wilson Is elected to the Presi.
dency, with a Democratic House of
Representative and Democratic
Senate. and II is 70 be expected that
Democratic policies will be enacted
into legislation.
In the State OF West Virginia Re
publicans obtained some comfort from
the election of a Republican Governor
and state offices. from the election
OF at least four Republican Congress
men and possibly six. and from the re-
demptlon OF the state from the grasp
OF wisconsin. In all probability the
Republicans will control the Legis-
lature on Joint ballot. which insures
the retirement OF c. ". Watson 70
private life.
the election returns from every sec
ton OF the Union. and that is. the
Democratic party has. not increased
its vote or it's grasp upon the people
of the United States. Wilson has
polled fewer votes in 1912 than Vim
j. Bryan did in 1908. The Democratic
victory was achieved solely through
the crippled condition OF the Repub-
lican party. and not by any Increase
In the number Of Democratic voters
In other words II all the elements dis
tinctly opposed to democracy and
Democratic policies had been united.

whclming defeat for Wilson instead

LARGEST Flying Fish.

The largest flying fish on record
was served up for breakfast on the
British warship Ardeola a short time

bound and was of the Canary Islands

observed. They were apparently in
fun fight from some deep sea enemy
and travelling rapidly. AS the ship

The political term dark horse" IL
thought to have had its origin IN the
following circumstances:
In the last century there lived IN
Tennessee character named Flynn,
an elderly person who dealt in horses.
Flynn generally contrived to own a
speedy nag or two for racing purposes
II he could arrange for "a good thing"
during his peregrinations throughout
the state.
The best Of Ffynn's flyers was a
coal black stallion named DrslKy Pete.
almost thoroughbred and able to go
IN the best Of company.
One day Flynn visited a town where
a race meeting was In progress. He
entered Pete. The people, knowing
nothing Of the horses antecedents and
not being over impressed by his ap-
pearance, backed the local favorite
heavily against the stranger
Just as the beasts were being sad
died for the race, a certain Judge Nc
Mlnamee. who was the oracle" Of
that part of the state, arrived on the
course and was made one Of the race
judges.
AS he took his place on the stand he
was told of the folly of the owner Of
the strange entry. Running his eye
over the track the Judge instantly rec
ognized Pete. Gentlemen" said Nc
Minamee, there's a dark horse in this
race, as you'll soon find out"
He was right. Pete "the dark horse"
lay back until the three-quarter pole
was reached, when he went to the
front with a rush and won the race.

Aid to the unIoveIy.

II try to be an efficient city direc.
tory" said the hotel clerk, but balk
at recommending a beauty doctor to
women guests.
THAT is one of the first things they
want to know. Churches, theaters,
oven dressmakers can wait few days,
hut the beauty doctor is an immediate
necessity. Unfortunately, they do not
get much satisfaction out of me. Any
number of beauty specialists leave
cards for distribution, but SO many of
them have been mixed up in lawsuits
that l feel squeamish about delivering
their cards. To satisfy my own con-
science and the women at the same
time hand out bunch of advertise
nlents with the remark that ! guess
they are about all alike.
Then they can pay their money
and take their choice, and if they lose
their hair and complexion, they cam
come back on me for damages"

want you to tell me of it, and If you
do things don't like think l ought
to tell you of them, too"
Il suppose l don't suit you at ALP
Eyes you do, but | think we ought
to talk over our likes and dislikes. In
that way we can get along so much
better"
John, want you to understand
right now that was brought up every
bit as well as you, and know how to
behave. And as to my cooking. can
do as well as your mother ever did"
II had hoped that you wouldn't lose
your temper But II yoTre going to

Now York police Mascot.

In addition to its official "yaller dog"
mascot, Bum, the old Mulberry street
police station has acquired another
dog, known as Peg Post. He is also
of an ochre tint, and his mysterious
behavior has baff1ed the wisest sleuths
in the station. When the men begin
their tours on the stationary or peg"
posts at ten o'clock at night, the dog
comes trotting FROM somewhere and
takes up his station with whichever
policeman on duty III the precinct suits
his fancy for that particular night.
frequently he changes from one post
to another, and remains on watch
until the stationary posts give way
to regular patrol at six in the morn
ing. Then he trots away, and is not
seen until the next night Offers Of
tidbits from the mems lunches have
been repeatedly refused by Peg Post
and his agility has thus far prevented
any one from learning the number Of
the dog license he wears ON his collar

mrnE ROSNRY."

Every woman thinks she knows
how to keep alive the love Of her hus.
band. Wonder II the girls in this
city know that art? Sometimes Il is
after they witness performance Of
'Thc Rosary" which is coming TO the
Grand Opera House next Tuesday
September II
In The Rosary there are three
distinct love stories. The principal
love affair is that Of Bruce and Vera
Wilton. This husband and wifo love
each other with their whole hearts
She is n devout woman, but he is n
born atheist Being a man Of much
business interests Mr. wilton neglectG
his home, and Vera resorts 10 the
green-eyed monster to bring her hus-
band back 10 her. She begins n fir
tation with a man named Konwnrd
Wright, Circumstances bring Wr~ght
into the Wilton home where he falls
in love with Vera's sister, Alice. Ono
night. when he and Alice had arrane-
ed for a secret olopmcnt, Vera, enter
ing the room as the couple are lcav-
covered by her husband. The result
is two broken hearts; therefore, ieal-
ousy Is an evil, and not an advisable
way Of keeping man interested.
The second story is between Kath-
leen O'Connor and Charley Harrow
Kathleen is a little Irish girl who be
lieves that the man she will marry
must know the Irish history thorough
ly. Charley knows nothing Of Irish
history, so Kathleen attempts to
teach him To keep Charley inter
ested. Kathleen uses the simplest lam
guage, dress and actions. Charley is
attracted by her simpleness, so II Is
shown that the simple truth attracts
the man of the world and keeps him
interested.
In the love story between Lesura
and Skeeters, the audience finds that
opposition to a mans vanity makes
him only the more interested in the
pursuit of the one thing upon which
he prdes himself greater than all else
