HOW TO TELL BAD NEWS.

This story is told Of Frederick
the Great. He was a violent,
fierce savage man. Every one was
afraid Of him for he might at any
moment order one Of his SUBJ is
to be fogged or executed.
To one creature he was pas
sionately devoted. This was his
horse beautiful charger, intel
ligent and loving. One day when
the king was very busy his horse
became very sick. In fit of petu-
liant rage he cried out that any
man who should inform him that
his horse was dead should be in
stantly hanged.
A few days passed and one
morning the groom found the
horse dead. Imagine his con
sternation! He was afraid to tell
the king and afraid not to tell
him.
The groom was summoned TO
the presence of the king, who de-
handed. How is my horseY
"Sir," replied the young man.
your horse is in his usual place.
He is lying down. He does not
move. He has no strength. He
does not eat. He does not drink.
He does not sleep. He does not
breathe. He does not"
Then, indeed, cried Frederick,
he must be dead I"
"Your Majesty has spoken
truly said the groom calmly,
and it is You, sir. who have an
nounced the fact

In Idaho where 1900 votes ont
of an estimated total of $4,000
had been counted, Senator Mug
ent, the Democratic candidate for
reelection, was leading Frank Il.
GoOding, the Republican candi-
date. by little more than 300
votes. The result is in doubt.
With the House firmly in the
hands of the Republicans control
of the Senate is more important
than ever to the Democratic adj
ministration. If the administra-
ton can retain control Of the SEN
ate it can in a large measure
check the activities of Republi-
can House. 1t is doubly import
ant to the national administration
because of the part which the
Constitution assigns to the Sen
ate in the ratification Of the peace
treaties which will end the world
war.
What Control Means.
The political overturning which
takes from the Democrats contrV.
of the House foreshadows an "a
heaval in national legislative afN
fairs, changes in powerful COM
mittee chairmanships and situa-
ton confronting President Wilson
which. in measure, parallels
that confronting President Taft
in the midst of his administration.
The situation also is analogous to
that faced by President Cleveland
at the beginning of his first term.
Since. by the system of COM
mittee control which prevails in
the House. all legislation and the
virtually unlimited powers for III
vestigation Of governmental af-
fairs lies within the initiative and
control Of the majority. the pos
are obvious. They will
be increased if the final returns
for the Senate assure the Repubii-
cans control there.

DEMOCRATS LOSE HOUSE
CONTROL.

Washington, Nov. 6.-With
control of the House of Repre-
sentatives placed in the hands Of
the Republicans by a majority of
sixteen and probably more, the
attention of the country tonight
was centered on contests iii three
states-Michigan. Idaho and New
Mexico-which will decide wheth-
err the Democrats shall lose con-
troll of the Senate as well.
At midnight returns from five
congressional districts were miss
ing-in Montana, New Mexico
and South Dakota.
Without them the Republicans
have won 234 seats in the House
of Representatives sixteen more
than the 21S votes necessary for
a majority.
The Democrats on the face of
those returns had 1875 seats and
if the five missing districts were
in favor of them they would lack
eighteen votes of the number nee
essary to control the House.
Tonight s returns show plainly
that Speaker Clark. instead Of be-
ing defeated as was reported as
being likely last night has been
reelected by a substantial ma
jority.
Hinges on Three States.
Hhe contests which will decide
the political complexion of the
Senate were very close. As the
Senate stands, without a decision
in these contests, there are forty
six Democrats and fOrty-seven Re-
publicans.
In Michigan the race between
Henry Ford and Truman Fl. New
berry was so close that it was said
an official count might be required
to decide the winner. Both
parties were claiming the seat.

cans are claiming the election of

WAR WAIFS-ADOPTED Chill
DREN OF THE SERVICE
MEN IN FRANCE,

Did you ever have a whole reg
iment of American soldiers fol
your ready made papaf
. That is what happened to hun
dreds of glad little French orphan
through the cooperation Of the
American Red Cross with our
soldiers overseas. "A few months
ago, they were not SO glad; then
they were the war waits OF
France-but that was before the
plan by which a company OF
other unit may for year become
che godfather Of war-stricken-
child was put into operation.
When the American color guard
fled down the gang plank and
planted our regimental standards
on French soil three small boys
were the only persons on the dock
to greet them. They hoped
comically up and down shouting
"Vive l'Amerique." Two of
them wore cut down uniforms Of
horizon blue, third had black
frock coat down to his kness.
As our flag curled in the breeze
they retired a bit and partook Of
a modest dejeuner of apples. All
told the same story, that their
father had died and left them
homeless. This was the first
meeting Of American soldiers with
the war waits of France. They
were to meet again.
The staff of the Stars and
Stripes. our Army's official news
paper, adopted the first war or
phan. This is how they did it:
A company detachment, or
group Of A. E. F. agrees to adopt
q child for a year. contributing
500 francs to its support.
The children will be either or
phans. or children of French sol
diers. so seriously crippled that
they cannot work, or homeless
waits from the invaded districts.
The adopting unit may select its
child and specify its age and sex.
The money will be turned over
TO a special committee Of the
American Red Cross for disburse-
ment.
! All the money contributed will
go to the children. The expenses
Of administration will be borne |
by the American Red Cross.
IA photograph and history Of i
each child will be sent to its
adopting unit, which will be adj
viaed of the child's whereabouts
and notified monthly of it's prog
ress.
The American Red Cross CON-
mittec will determine the disposal
Df the child. It will either be
'ent to a practical agricultural or
trade school, or supported in a
French family. The American

time, the orphan department
would like to enlist the A. E. f.
in a red-headed orphan hunt"
Private D. Cornell wrote from
the s. 0. s. that he had found a
red-headed baby. Her father was
crippled at the front and her hair
was blooming peony. Her age
was two years. That settled the
red-haired question.
Now and then soldier who is
one two hundredth godfather gets
a letter like the one that Ma
dame Patriache wrote. After
Madame 's husband was killed at
the front. she worked for Is
francs month until she dropped
in her tracks. The American
Red Cross reported her illness was
caused by overwork. and that she
would probably never work again.
Then the staff of the Stars and
Stripes adopted Marie Louise and
the other wrote:
1t is a great thanks from the
bottom of my heart which | send
You because | cannot tell it to you
with my own lips.
How will ever be able to
thank you for adopting my little
Marie Louise in your fine gene
rosity? How can / express my

AS with all good mothers who
see the future Of their children
made safe, the words which I
would be able to say would not
sufficiently express my thankful
ness, but. be sure. gentlemen, that
my gratitude is infinite. It is

wrote:

 The junkmen, who had had pre- vious dealings with this firm, con tract=-d t2 purchase the scrap metal offering a reasonable price, and late last week began weighing the metal ready for carting. The metal was weighed under the nose of one of the company's clerks, who recorded the amounts as they were taken from the scales and loaded onto trucks.
 Figures later revealed that there was a shortage of approximately CO., 900 pounds and suspicious of the com pany officials being aroused, an in- vestigation was instituted and the scales ordered examined A Wood lead pencil did the trick.
