Congress Swells From Ten
To Sixteen.

Six States But Wins i'm
Montana.

Washington, Nov. 4-Complctc re-
turns from almost all of the Congress
Sional districts in the United States
show the Democrats have Il clear ma
iority Of twenty-sevcn over all other
parties in the House Of Representa-
tives, and plurality OF thirty-seven
over the Republicans.
The line up in the House is 23I
Democrats; 1914 Republicans; l Social
list; 8 Progressives; l Independent. In
the Senate the Democrats have IN
creased theirm majority from ten
to sixteen, as follows: Democrats 5G;
Republicans 80 and Progressives l.
The Republican avalanche of yes
terday was talked over today in con-
ference and his cabinet. The Presi
dent maintained an absolute silence as
to public expression over the election.
President Wilson was at his desk
early today and spent several hours
going over the returns with his spcrc-
tary and Thomas Pence, Secretary of
the Democratic National Committee.
The President was especially inter-
ested in the returns from Illinois, and
expressed disappointment over the an
parent defeat of Roger Sullivan.
Latest returns indicate that Lawrence
Y. Sherman has been reelected United
States Senator from Illinois by about
5000. Joseph G. Cannon, W. B. Me
Kinley and w. A. ROdenberg, Repub-
licans, have been elected to Congress.
Reports from California show Gov
ernOr Johnson swept the State for re-
election. James d. Thelan, Demo-
cratic candidate for United States
Senator, has won over J. r. Know
land, Republican, with Francis Hcncy
distant third. The anti-prizc fight
amendment apparently has carried by
large majority. The Indications are
that the eight hour and prohibition
were defeated by vote of two to one.
The Prohibition forces carried Ore
gOn by about 10000, but are behind
the vets in Colorado. Both sides are
claiming victory in Colorado.
Woman Suffrage lost in Missouri.

Nebraska, but Won in Montana.
f. l.. Phillip, Republican, has been

THE FIRST CUP OF TEA
Pretty Legend of How Tea Was Origi-
nally Used as a Drink.

The Chinese claim to be the first
users of tea as a drink, and how it
originated is told in a pretty little le-
gend that dates from 1000 years be-
fore the coming Of Christ, says Tit
Bits.
ereign fell in love with young noble
man whose humble birth excluded him
from marrying her. They managed to
exchange glances and he occasionally
conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met and the young ~an en-
deavored to give her a few flowers;
her attendants that all she could grasp
was a little twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig in water, and towards evening
she drank the water in which the twig
had been kept. So agreeable was the
taste that she even ate the leaves and
stalks. Every day afterwards she had
punches Of the tea tree brought to her,
which she treated in the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form Of
flattery, the ladies Of the court tried
the experiment, and with such pleas
ing results that the custom spread
throughout the kingdom-and the
great Chinese tea industry became one
of the greatest businesses in the world.

of Spanish America which made the
pirates wealthy. But the capture of
bullion and the eXactiOn Of ransom
failed to compensate the victors from
about the time of the Napoleonic wars.
Wars of conquest followed wars
wars are accompanied by opportunities
of loot which are hardly paralleled in
ancient history. Thus the defeat OF
France resulted in the payment to Ger
many of 81 900 ,OOO, 900 after the war OF
1S7O-a tribute payment hardly rivaled
in ancient days. If France and Russia
should conquer, Germany will doubt
less be compelled to stagger under
such an eXaction of tribute as no an
cient Caesar ever dreamed.
If the boards of Europe could be
tapped-if the ancient treasures Of Eu-
ropean cities should be tapped by in
vading armies-the possibilities OF loot
in Jewels and precious metals are be-
yond compute. But all the loot possible
would not compensate for the hundreds
of thousands of ounces Of gold which
must be paid each day for army susie
nance and equipment. In olden times
wars paid for themselves, reckoning
from the viewpoint of the victors. Wars
were then for loot. The ships of the
conquerors returned from across the
seas with treasure-they even went to
war loaded with treasure for emergen-
cies, as witness the Spanish Armada,
whose gold is still the dream of fortune
seekers.

MILITARY ANNIHllATlONS
The Phrase that is Misleading to the
Law Reader.

Many of the phrases in the dis
matches from the war in Europe are
misleading to the reader who Is ignor :
ant Of the technical meaning of mill
tary terms. That is the case with the
words "annihilated" and destroyed.
The breathless reader learns with hor-
ror that IAN entire division was de-
stroyed while attempting to storm the
forts at A." or that "a regiment OF cav
airy, while accommodating on the FLANK
of the enemy, was annihilated." He
imagines a terrible scene of slaughter
in which all, or virtually all, the SOL
diers are left dead on the field.
The truth, however, is quite differ
ent. BY no means was every soldier or
every trooper killed; the division OF
regiment was destroyed or annihilated
as an organization or effective fighting
unit.
In time of war, men fight, not as IN
dividuals, but as parts Of a fighting
unit. That unit may be regiment, a
division, or an army corps. In order To
be of any real use, those organizations
must be maintained. When the organ
ization is broken up, the individual
soldiers who compose it, no matter how
brave they may be personally, degener-
ate into a mob; and, as mob or mere
disorganized collection Of men, they are
unable to attack the enemy, and usual
ly unable to make any defense against
attack. So, when the organization is
thus broken, it is said to be annihilated
or destroyed, although perhaps only a
small part Of the soldiers have actual
ly been killed or wounded. Indeed, 1t
is rare that a fighting unit survives the
loss Of more than ten per cent OF its
men. That is because the mortality OF
officers is always higher than that
among the privates, and when nearly
half of it's officers are killed or wound
ed, the organization generally goes to
pieces. In such a case, the men go to
the rear as individuals, or in such or
der as they can maintain. There they
must remain until the organization is
recruited re-officered and re-organiz-
ed; until that is done they are useless
for war.
In the Boer war; General Butler, with
an army Of some forty thousand men,
attacked the Beers at the Tugela river
He was defeated, and lost about thir-
ty-fiye hundred men, killed and wound
ed-less than one-tenth Of his whole
army. Yet his army was said to be
destroyed-as, in fact, it was. After the
defeat. it had lost all organization, and
virtually degenerated into a mob. 1t
had to retreat to Estcourt, about twen-
ty miles in the rear, where it would be
safe from Boer attacks; and there IT
lay for several months, unable to make
single move, until it was recruited,
e-officered, reinforced, and, most OF
all, re-organiZed.

THE STRANGEST FISH
Sun Fish, Weighing Half Ton Is an
Ocean Acrobat.

One of the strangest jumpers 1t ha:
been my good fortune to watch anG
catch is the sunfish or mola, in al
probability the strangest fish in the sea
as it appears to be all head. This is sc
seemingly true that in specimen
three feet long the vertebrae is buI
an inch and half long. Some of the
fish weigh over one thousand pounds
have had some weird experiences
with this fish. In 1875 l was fishing al
the mouth of the st. John River, Flori
da, for channel bass, tarpon and big
sharks when a monster suntish came
sailing in, and like a ship, grounded or
the bar opposite Pilottown. | went out
to watch its capture. 1t was said tc
weigh 1900 pounds, and looked it. II
was IL feet high.
The next one l saw was off the Isles
of Shoals, in 1877. l had been trying tC
take a tuna with rod off Boon island
and on the way, in the dory, We near
ly ran into a sunfish. / hooked onto
it with a gaff and brought it in. Later
at Santa Catalina l found very large
one. / ran alongside, seized its fin and
bent it over the rail while the boatmar
cut a hole in the fin and passed a rope
through it.
While we were doing this the mons
ter nearly wrecked the launch and
towed us toward shore; when We fl
nally got it in tow our launch could
not move when the fish felt like swim
ming the other way. 1t took two
launches to tow this sunfish which
must have weighed over 1000 pounds,
into Avalon Bay, where | had an eX-
cellent opportunity to watch and study
it, after which | released it uninjured
off Santa Caratlina or San Clemen-
te in summer thousands Of the young
Of this fish are seen from n foot to
three feet in length. They swim in
small schools; are very social swim
ming about the boats, engaged in a
wherever you look you see a leaping
suntish. At times they leap very clum-
silly. but generally come down with a
rcsounding crash. To see dozens Of
these big heads" in the air, coming
down in a continual patter is fascinat-
ing.
The big barracuda and the kingtish
Of Florida are jumpers of high degree.
The former is "A wild and splendid
jumper after it is hooked, while the
latter makes magnificent leaps after
the bait before it is hooked; so it is III
the class with the tuna. | should not
care to go on record with mere guess
as to the length of its jumps, but they
are supreme in yivacity, length and
eXhlaratiOn among the wild iinny
tribes of the sea.
That there should be so great diff

ference in the mere leaps of game fish
seems impossible to the layman; but
your keen observing angler notices all
the niceties of the jump and is quick
to see it.
Several years ago l was fishing just
channel bass, which we took with
shrimp bait in extraordinary holes in
the lagoon when the gafftopsail catfish
would allow it. This was an eXtraor-
dinary locality for jumping fishes. APP
parently everything leaped, and at the
slightest suggestion. If l splashed the
water with an oar a score Of mullets
would go into the air, and over what
appeared to be a variety of tule there
was a constant flash Of scales in the
hot August sun.
Suddenly the pompanoes began to
leap and | was afforded a remarkable
opportunity to watch their methods.
The pompano is little fish, but very
broad An ordinary leap covered 10
or Is feet. But the peculiar feature
was that thi" little fish, about the size
Of the palm Of your hand, did not jump
high, yet covered incredible distances.
After watching several 1 believe l
solved the mystery.
In leaping the pompano did not 20
up; it dashed out Of the water at an
angle, and when at an elevation Of
four or five feet l distinctly saw it turn
on it's side, and so, like an aeroplane,
with its broad surface to the air it slid
away in a long and graceful parabola.
1 saw this repeatedly, as the fish
were jumping by our boat every few
minutes, and one or two fell into the
boat. A friend told me that in beating
up a narrow river in Florida he alarm
ed a school Of these delicious, delight
full little fishes and they came out Of
the water in swarms, bombarding him,
hitting the sail and falling into the
boat.
At Aransas, in the pass, 1 hooked a
shark which jumped so exactly like a
tarpoon that | was more than once de-
ceived by them. In Catalina Harbor,
California, there is striped shark
which leaps when hooked and gives a
very good imitation Of a gamefish.-

Unseen, Unknown
Future....

Many years ago the late Charles A
Dana wrote a letter to a little cir
who asked if there was a Santa Claus
Here are some extracts from it:
"Yes. Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus: he exists as certainly as
love, generosity and devotion ex-
ist. The most real
things I'm the world are those
things that neither men nor Chill
dren see. You may tear apart
the baby's rattle and see what
makes the noise inside. but there
Is a wall covering the unseen
world which not the strongest
man nor the united strength OF
all the strongest men can tear
apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry,
love. romance, can push aside
the curtain and view the glory be-
yOnd. Is il real? All, Virginia,
i'm all this world there Is nothing
else real and abiding. No Santa
Claus? He lives and lives forev-
er."
There is a wall covering the un-
seem" there is a wall covering the tu-
ture, and those beautiful sentiments,
love, generosity and DEVOTION de-
mand that provision be made for that
unknown future. No better proVls-
ion can be made than by means OF a
life insurance policy in the Staunch
