WILSON AND HUGHES IN NECK
AND NECK RACE FOR
THE PRESIDENCY.
WILSON HAS 232 VOTES
NEW YORK AND ILLINOIS GIVE
BIG MAJORITY FOR RE-
PUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

New York, Nov. 8.-Early this
morning the returns, while still incom-
plete. made Wilson reasonably certain
OF 232 votes in the electoral college
and seemed to give Hughes 21S. There
were 81 votes still in doubt, 266 being
required for an election.
These states were counted for VII
son: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland. Mississippi. Mis-
souri,. Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio.
Oklahoma. South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah and Virginia. Total, 232.
For Hughes were claimed: Connec-
ticut. Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey,
New York. Pennsylvania Rhode Island,
South Dakota. Vermont. Wisconsin
and Wyoming. Total, 21S.
At 5:15 a. m. returns from Chey-
enne took Wyoming from the Hughes
list and placed its three electoral
votes in the doubtful column, with
Wilson leading.
These states were doubtful: Cali
fornia. Idaho. Indiana, Kansas, New
Hampshire. New Mexico. Oregon.
Washington and West Virginia. To-
tai. 81.
Hughes carried New York by plu-
rality estimated at 10000. Wilson
carried New York City by about 49,
600. but that was more than offset by
the Hughes votes upstate. The re-
turns outside of New York City are in
complete. but they indicate an upstate
plurality Of 100000 for Hughes.
Illinois has gone to Hughes by, a plu-
rality that may approximate Roose.
velt's' record of 100000 in 1904.
Southern Illinois, the Republican cit
adel. was solid for the Hughes elect
ors. President Wilson made no gains
in any Of the downstate except for
small increase around Centralia, where
William Jennings Bryan made a per-
sonal appeal to boyhood friends.
Ohio. according to the early returns,
had been carried by Wilson by tre-
mendous plurality. Later the figures
favorable to the President were con-
siderably reduced and the Republican
managers asserted the state would be
found eventually to have gone for
Hughes by 10000.
Unless, however, the vote in the ru-
raj districts which has not been re-
ported should prove overwhelming for
Hughes, Ohio must be conceded to the
President.
Hughes developed a strong lead in
West Virginia which, If sustained by
succeeding returns. will give him the
state by small margin.

man used to bring to wholesale drug
house in London a quantity of hem
lock seed which he sold at half the
market price. The curiosity of men,
ber of the house at last becoming
aroused he asked the man how he
could afford to sell the drug SO cheap
ly. After being promised that nothing
would be done to interfere with his
business he described bis method.
Every spring he filled his pockets with
the seed and went out into the coun-
try. Wherever he saw good wide
hedgerow he sowed the seed broad
cast. Then he went his way and wor-
ried no more over his crop until the
fall, when he revisited the scene Of his
labors. He would then call the farm

hedge, offering to cut them down for q
shilling hedge, an offer which the
farmer gladly accepted. Thus was the
ground furnished free and he was paid
to cut the harvest.

IMPORTANCE OF THE GLOVE

The Glove is the flower bud of q tree
called by botanists "Egenia caryophyl-
lata." 1t is an evergreen and grows
crimson flowers that bloom In clusters
at the ends OF small branches There
are usually fEom ten to twenty flowers
in cluster The leaves of the tree
are large and oblong. The cloves.
which are the undeveloped and unfold
ed buds. are at first white, then
light green and at the time they are
mature enough for harvesting are
bright red.
In a dried Glove one can easily iden-
tify the four sepals of the flower, while
the ball in the center of the Glove is
formed by the four petals which had
not unfolded at the time of gathering
the buds. 1t is said that a Glove tree
begins to bear when 1t has reached the
age Of ten years. and IL it remains
tive until II has passed the age of
three quarters of a century. The un-
ripe buds are generally beaten from
the tree by poles and are caught in
sheets spread on the ground. After
being gathered they are dried In the
sun. Glove planters generally harvest
two crops a year from the same tree.
The first crop comes into bearing in
June and the second crop in December.

H1HE Glove has been the text of jokes
ever since men hit upon it as a
q means of Disgusting. or rather
overpowering, the odor Of other things
which they had put into their mouths.
The joke is perhaps nearly as old as the
Glove and as old as man and his fond
ness for strong drink.
Notwithstanding that the Glove has
been so useful as a humorous subject.
it is really an important little thing
in the commerce of the world. and has
been for many centuries. The tree of
which it is the bud is indigenous to
the MoIuccas, often called the Spice
Islands. a small group Of islands of
the Indian archipelago. The treasures
of these spice islands were the lure Of
many of the early navigators of the far
eastern seas. 1t has been written:
Gloves were one Of the principal
oriental spices that early excited the
cupidity of western commercial COM
munities. having been the basis of a
rich and lucrative trade from the early
part of the Christian era"
After the Cape of Good Hope had
been circumnavigated by Vasco da
Cana and his hardy adventures, the
Portuguese took possession of the Glove
trade and held 1t in their control until
the opening years of the seventeenth
century. when the Dutch took forcible
possession of the Spice Islands Not
content with the produce OF the wild
Glove trees. they set out Glove planta-
tions in the Molucca Islands. as well as
in many of the neighboring islands.
and these parts of the world continue
to this day to be the chief source of
the supply of cloves, though they are
now cultivated in number of other
lands. but the cloves of the Indian
archipelago remain the standard cloves
of commerce.
The Glove tree has been introduced
into the western world and now is, and
for more than a century has been,
grown in Brazil. Guiana and the West
Indian Islands. Glove trees now grow
in groves in the Island of Mauritius.
where plantations were set out under
the auspices of the French in the
eighteenth century. and in Zanzibar and
Pemba. These last-named islands. off
the east coast of Africa, have become
important producers of cloves. Java
and Sumatra, in the east. also make
their contribution to the worlds sup
ply of cloves.
The word "clove" has come down
from the French word "clou." which
means a nail, because Of the resem-
blance. partly real and partly fanciful.
which the dried Glove bears to a nail.
Though the Glove had had for CEN
turies and still has an honorable stand
ing in the culinary art as condiment.
it has long held place In the distilla-
tion of liquor and in medicine. Nearly
everybody knows something about oil
of cloves, and most persons at one time
