THE SMILING HABIT.
(By Duane Beyerlee.

No habit one can form will pay
such large and continuous dividends
as the habit of smiling.
What is the excuse of frowning and
feeling blue, radiating at atmosphere
SO cold it would chill polar bear?
All things work together for good.
No matter how hard your lot may
seem, how much you think you have
to make you discouraged. or how
dark the clouds may look from your
viewpoint, cheer up better day will
dawn for you, If you desire it and will
do your part. 1t rests with you and
you alone. tomorrow will be brighter
than today has been, if you will mike
it so.
fou will gather what you SOW. Don't
scw frowns and clouds and expect to
har est smiles and sunshine.
Sr5!le, it's habit that pays,
ct the 81 nshine in. If yoi think
you have hard luck, and dwell on this
subject, you will soon believe that
tate is working overtime to make you
miserable.
Look around you, see those who
are less fortunate, there are many
scores upon scores that would gladly
change places with you.
You are the architect of your own
career, just as long as you think you
have hard luck" just so long as you
talk hard luck" and poverty, Just Sc
long will these be your constant com
panions.
Think right, get right with your
self, get the smiling habit, it pays
Men of today do not stand AROUND
listening to the doleful music of the
funera, dirge. It's the inspiring ain
of the jolly, wide-awake two-stap tha'
makes their pulses stir.
Get tre smiling habit, it pays.

CALIFORNIA STILL UN-
DECIDED ON ELEC TION

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S.--From
election returns available this morn
ing it will require the services of an
expert accountant and soothsayer to
determine whether Theodore Roose-
welt or Woodrow Wilson has carried
California. The face of the returns
changed half dozen times last night,
and may possibly do so several times
mere before the offc:ai result is
known.
Latest returns show Roosevelt with
2s0,255 and Wilson 2s0,125, Roose-
velt's plurality being 130.
The basis of all the changes during
the night was the vote in Los An
geles county, which according to the
latest figures was Roosevelt 45,06S
and Wilson S6,144. Earlier figures
from Los Angeles had been a thou
sand or more votes in Wilson's favor
but they varied during the night, COW
ering a range of difference between
the two candidates of anywhere from
100 to l,200 in Wilson's favor.

DEMOCRATS
HOPEFUL OF GOVERNOR

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. S.-Demo-
Gratis in Washington freshened up a
bit today when 1T precincts of the
7,190, showed Ernest Lister, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, lead
ing by 1,09S votes. Earlier his plu-
rality shrunk TO S04 and the Repub-
licans claimed all the remaining pre-
cincts for Governor Hay. The cleo
ton is still in doubt. The state Off
GERS below the governorship are di-
vided between the Progressives and
Republicans, no Democrats having
been elected.
Mrs. Helen ]. Scott of Tacoma,
whose name as presidential elector
was on the very top of the victorious
Progressive ticket, will probably be
chairman of the Washington electors
who will cast seven votes for Theo-
dore Roosevelt in the electoral col
lege. She is prominent club woman
and charity worker.

The dead man proved to be un-
armed. His body was taken in charge
