flied officially Wilson led in New
Hampshire this morning by SO votes,
according to Secretary Of State Edwin
C. Bean. Discovery of errors in Of
fetal reports was a factor in reversing
the lead which Hughes held last
might he said. Mr.. Bean said returns
from 100 of the 274 towns and wards
still to be verified might further
change the result.
The official figures from seventy
seven of these missing districts have
been received but not tabulated. Sec
rotary Bean, in announcing the differ
ence Of SO in favor Of Wilson, gave
no total figures.
The total upon which his prelim-
mary statement was based, had been
reached, he explained, by adding to
the verified returns newspaper figures
from the districts not heard from Of

said secretary Bean. Zone clerk in
ward 8, Concord, reported the vote
of that precinct as Hughes 225, Will

Uncle's Approval

Tom F. Morgan, in Judge.
 My nephew, Perry Bleat, was, ac- cording to his own opinion, not ap- preciated by his fellow men at his proper worth." stated old Festus Pes- ter. "He felt. that he was not being given all the kind applause that his efforts so richly merited. Speaking in round numbers. at a christening he wanted to be the baby, at wedding the bride, at a funeral the corpse and in parades the mayor in carriages, and because he couldn't be his feelings were hurt quite good deal. Finally, when he couldn't endure the indifference of the world any longer, he wrote me that. alas, he was going to end it all, and that at 3:35 p. m.. on Thursday, he would be dead.
 'Tt was 3:10 on the fatal afternoon when I received the letter and it took me so long to open, read and digest it. and get to the telegraph office, that it was not until 3:2S that I sent him dispatch expressing my approval in these words, Much obligedn Of course, I had right to say more, for you are allowed 10 words for the minimum fee, but there didn't seem to be anything more to say. But, be that as it may, he didn't appreciate my appreciation, and was so angry that just to spite me he absolutely declined to commit suicide at any terms"

MRS. HENRY DUKE IS GLAD ID SAY GOOD
 WORD FOR TANLAC
Declares She Has Gained 10 Pounds and Feels Better Than She Ever Felt
 in Her Life

q have gained 10 pounds and feel better today than 1 ever felt in my life," said Mrs. J. Henry Duke of 2425 Thirty-fir avenue, while in Walkers drug store in North Birmingham last week. 1 had suffered so long and so much that I am truly thankful to say Q good word for Tanlac
 For years I have been troubled with constipation and a rundown stom- ach which caused me to have frequent headaches of several days duration, and they were so severe that I would be forced to go to bed and call the doctor. He would give me medicine that would afford relief, but. did not remove the cause as l would have headaches just as usual
 They began to get more frequent and more severe and it got so that the medicine the doctor would give me would not relieve me as it had been doing in the past, so I just had to suf- fer the pain until they wore off, which would leave me in very weak con- dition I fell off in weight and my ap- petite became very small, but I was afraid to eat very much as I knew the consequences if I did. Therefore, I had to be very careful of my diet.
 Last fall I saw Tanlac advertised in the papers and I bought a bottle from pr. Walker and when I had taken the first bottle I saw an improvement and I then took it right along regularly and have taken five bottles so far and it has done just what l wanted it to do.
 T can just eat anything and as much as I want and in addition to my appetite my general condition, which was terribly rundown, is in better shape than it has been for years. I feel sure that my cure will be permanent, but I am going to take few more bottles. As I gained 10 pounds on five bottles I believe I can add a little more weight with few more
 T certainly recommend Tanlac and in doing so I can point to my own ex- perience with a great deal of grati- tude for what Tanlac has done for me"
 In speaking of Mrs. Dukes case, MT. Walker, the druggist, said:
 "T noticed remarkable improvement in Mrs. Duke and as I had been selling her Tanlac I knew it was that med icine that was doing her good, as I have unbounded faith in Tanlac as system tonic and a general condition builder"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and by Patton-Pope Drug Co.,; also in Ensley by the D. w Morris Drug Co.; in Bessemer by the Pegram- Patton Drug Co.; in North Birmingham by the Walker Drug Co. and in Pratt City by the Gale Drug Co.,, and by all regularly established agents throughout the state.--Adv.

SILK HATS FOR HE MARKET INSPECTORS Twenty-Two Officials of Liverpool Have Saved
 Their Dignity

Liverpool, January 2s-(Special.) )-The 22 market inspectors employed by the I,iv- erpool municipality have saved their dig nifty, inasmuch as the city council has passed by large majority a bill for the purchase of p silk hats for them.
 When the bill came up. Councilman Kelly tried to kill it with ridicule It was silly. he said, to see a man in a shiny, tall hat tagging about the car cass of pig or sheep or a side of beef. Clergymen and lawyers were giving ur top hats in favor. of more informal head gear, the use of them was disappearing in the middle and upper classes and police inspectors wore caps with dignity and artistic effect, so why, asked the council man, should white-coated market in- spector have to be provided with a tile at the expense of the city, especially il war time?
 But precedent prevailed. For century the council had bought high hats for the market inspectors, and the council did not wish to abolish an old custom. So the Inspectors got their ''toppers."

 These honors won, Shuts returned to south Africa, where he soon was made member of the Cape bar, and, incidentally, married Mrs Shuts was, and is still, as brilliant a classical scholar as her husband, and is said to be generally seen with a baby under one arm and a Greek dictionary un- der the other" Meanwhile her hus- band prospered in the law and still enjoyed the patronage of Cecil Rhodes, who intended him to contest the safe seat of Kimberley, but then came the Jameson raid which ended the friend ship between the colossus and his young protege Shuts, indeed. became his bene- factors most determined foe, and stumped the country against him, then giving evidence for the first time of unusual power as an orator. Shortly afterward he went to Pretoria to prac- tice as barrister, where he soon gathered a practice and. in 1s97 was made state attorney by President Kru- ger in succession to the renowned pr. Coster.
 One day, soon after his appointment, he ventured to appear in the Vo1ks- raad wearing grey neither garments; a thing that shocked that assembly, for the Boers were particular that their representatives should be "all blacks in clothes, at least, and the clamor was so great that the state attorney had, perforce, to go back home and set into more seemly ''breeks''
 During his entire term of office he did his best to persuade Dom Paul to grant reforms and, but for the meth ods of Chamberlain and Milner, prob ably would have avoided war.
 The war over, Shuts, accepting the inevitable, became sincere 1oyalist. For the next several years he was counsellor -chief to the Boer leaders.
