HUNTINGTON, Oct. THAT
Charles E. Hughes will sweep New
York and New England without tho
loss Of single electoral vote, is the
opinion expressed by the Honorable
William F. Hite. who has just return
ed home here after spending the sum
mer at his summer place at Ports
mouth, New Hampshire.
Hite for the Ticket.
Mr.. Hite, who was defeated by How
ard Sutherland in the race for Unit
ed States Senator in the Republican
primary last June by small plurality
will take an active part in the cam
paign henceforth and will do all with
in his power to elect not only his
successful opponent in the primary,
but the entire state ticket and the
Republican congressional nominees.
Mr.. Hite met Mr.. Hughes during his
trip through New England and de-
clares that the Republican candidate
for president makes a splendid speech,
and is received with remarkable en-
thusiasm wherever he goes.
When asked for a statement on the
political situation here yesterday, Mr..
Hite said, II cannot speak with au-
thority on state affairs, but | certain
ly expect to see every man on the
state ticket elected by a handsome
majority, and every congressional dis
trict redeemed TO the Republican par
ty. In the East, where l spent the
last three months, everything is Re
publican. Hughes will carry New York
and every New England state, and
when that happens there is very lit

the whole result will be. Republican
leaders in the East are entirely con-
tident as to the outcome. and certain

Scotch Repartee.

If old Cargo Jones was the most
inquisitive man in the village, Tom
Morton was certainly the surliest. One
afternoon as Cargo perambulated slow
ly along the one narrow street, he
paused at Toms garden fence and
gazed inquiringly over at Tom. who
was busily mailing a very large box
together. Afternoon, Toni" said the
old chap genially. Whatever be zee
putin that great box together for?"
Tom paused in his hammering long
enough to retort CURLY: ITO hold all
your questions, if so be as it's big
enough" Cargo eyed him in panied
silence for a few moments. Then ne
took an empty match box from his
pocket and threw it over to Sandy.

torted quietly.

The Oldest of Trees.

AS to the ages of trees, it is not the
oak which is, as Dryden, or another,
has it, the patriarch" The oldest
trees on earth are the tremendous con-
ifers standing in one OF the Cali
fornian valleys. Older than Abraham,
they have rolled around with the
world, alive, for many more centuries
than any mere oak; and not long ago
one of them fell. There he lies, and
you climb his side by ladder And
the rest-or many of them-are in
their last few centuries, as is evident
from their dwindling tops.
That is what surprises the tourist
that having lived through human
history they are now dying. They
are now cared for, if things SO strange
and so august can be said to owe any
thing to mans care; but man for hun
dreds of decades gave them hard
usage; their hollows are black with
the fires lighted within by Indian ma
lions long vanished.-London Chroni-

crate, but inwardly he was fighting
down a turmoil of emotions. What was
he to find in Alix? Had he anything to
give in exchange? Had he too much :?
He climbed the steps slowly. His
hand trembled as he reached out to
raise the heavy bronze knocker. Be
fore his fingers could seize it, the door
swung softly inward. Old John bowed
before him. For a moment Gerry
stood dazed. The naturalness of that
open door, of the old butler, of the cool
shadows in the old familiar hall, struck
straight at his heart with the shrewd
poignancy of simple things. Old John
raised smiling face to greet him but
down one wrinkled cheek crawled a
surprised tear.
Gerry held out his hand. How do
you do, John?"
Il am very well today, SIR said
John. Mrs Gerry is in the library.
She told me to telephone to the club
and if you were there to say she
wished to see you"
Gerry was puzzled Why should Alix
think he would go to the club? He
handed the butler his old hat and
strobe to the library door. The door
was closed. Somebody said, Come
in" The words were so low he hardly
heard them. He opened the door,
stepped inside and closed it behind
him.
Alix, dressed in a filmy blue and
white housegown, stood in the middle
OF the room. With one hand appraised,
the other outstretched, she seemed to
be poised, equally ready for advance
or flight Her eyes passed swiftly
over Gerry's face, swept searching
down to his feet and back again to his
face. For weeks she had been wonder
ing. Terrible things had come to her
mind. Alan and Gerry with his heart
less note, had conspired to mystify. to
terrify her. All the joy she had looked
forward to in Gerry's homecoming
had turned into bitter pain They
had not known on the hill how she was
suffering. Only Kemp had seemed to
understand a little and had brought
his drop of comfort to her.
AS her eyes searched Gerry the sense
of impending calamity left her He
was well, well as she had never seen
him before. Except for that he seemed
almost weirdly familiar, as though
only good nights sleep lay between
him and the morning of three year:
ago when he had bullied her until she
had fought back and overwhelmed
him.
A hundred little differences went to
make up this solitary change. The flush
Of too many drinks had given way to a
deep healthy glow, the eyes were deep
and grave instead of deep and vacant,
the broad shoulders that had taken to
hanging were braced in unconscious
strength. Every line in the body that
she had seen start ON the road to gross
ness had been fined down. The body
was no longer a mere abode for lin
gering spirit. 1t had become a mocha
nism, tuned to expression in action. It
was not the body of a time-server.
Alan's sole word of comfort came back
to her. II never thought the old Rock
would ever loom so big" What force

FISH LINES OF GREAT LENGTH
Many of Those Employed in Fishing
for HaIIbut Declared to Be
Sixty Miles Long. A

The most of the halibut are caught
with the hook and line. The fishing,
however, has nothing gamy or sport
ing about 1t. The lines are dropped
down into the sea in such a way that
the baited hooks rest on the bed of
the ocean. The lines are of great
length. Some of them are 60 miles
long; when loaded with fish it takes
the steam engine on the vessel the
better part of a day to wind them up.
They are divided into sections, each
section having float or buoy that
rests on the surface, and is marked
by flag in the daytime and at night
by light. The line lies right on the
bed of the sea. Attached to it are
hundreds of hooks and each hook is
baited. The halibut swallows the bait
and is caught on the hook and held
there until the line is drawn up. These
fish always feed on or close to the bed
of the ocean.-Christian Herald.

1t was ten o'clock on a morning in
early autumn when Gerry finally got
free of the freighter and took the ferry
for the other side of the river. He had
left all his baggage to be delivered at
the house later. The morning was
clear but sultry. In the city the apathy
Of summer days had settled down.
People glanced at Gerry's heavy
tweeds and antiquated hat but they
did not smile, for Gerry himself was
such sight as makes men forget
clothes. The tan of his lean face. the
swing Of his big, unpadded shoulders,
his clear eyes, carried the thoughts of
passers-by away from clothes and city
things. They seemed to catch breath
of spicy winds from the worn garments
that chung to the strangers virile body
and in his eyes they saw a mirage OF
far-away places.
AS Gerry reached his own house
he was outwardly calm, even delhi

Sea PItIIes. In Its Warfare.

In its incessant warfare against the
land, the sea literally takes it's cap
tured hosts and makes them do battle
under it's command. The boulders that
are shattered from the face of cliff
are dashed up against it again and
again, hammering others loose. the
while being worn round and smooth
as the projectiles of big guns must be.
AS the process goes on those huge
shells are worn down and crumbled
until there remains nothing to tell the
story of forced fighting against their
own stronghold, save grains of sand
on some distant beach or the soft car
pet spread upon the floor of the, sea
many fathoms deep.

The Barbadian laughed little dryly
got down, protesting, and helped the
family carry the house across the road.
Then the. cab went on and soon turned
up an avenue under fiery canopy of
acacia fiamboyante.
AS they progressed, thick, twining
growths, spangled with brilliant
blooms, walled in the avenue. The air
grew cool but heavy with scents and
the full-fiavored spice of tropical gar
den under a blazing sun.
| The air made Gerry dreamy. He
woke with a start when the Barbadian
said to the cabman, "This will do
You needn't drive in. Wait here"
The cab stopped. Just ahead was
the ruin of great gate. The two pill
entirely hidden by vines. To one of
them chung the rusted vestige of a
gate. Beyond the pillars there was a
winding way. Once it had been a
road continuation of the avenue, now
it was but tunnel through the dense
ly crowded foliage. Along the center
of the tunnel was a narrow path.
Even it was overgrown. The Barba-
dian led Gerry down the path.
They came out under a grove of
mighty trees whose dense shade had
kept down the underground, and be-
yond the trees Gerry saw a vast ir-
regular mound of vines, with which
mingled giant geraniums, climbing
fuchsias, honeysuckle and rose. Then
he spied a broad flight of marble steps
at one end of them an old moss-grown
urn, at the other, it's fallen, broken
counterpart Above the mound rose
the roof of a house; through the vines
as the two drew nearer, appeared shut
tered windows and a door, yelled with
creepers.
The Barbadian went up the steps
and tore the creepers away from the
