CALL TT A DRAW.

A friend Of The Herald writes say
ing that he and an acquaintance have
been unable to agree as to whether
the late King Alexander of Greece
was married, and The Herald has
been asked to decide.
The official biographies Of the late
monarch say that he was morganatic-
ally married to a Madame Manos. It
is possible tht this information may
not settle the dispute. That will de-
pend on the understanding of the dis
putants az to what constitutes mar
riase.
The laws and customs of nations
differ on the subject Of marriage, but
In m~onarchical countries IT IL quite
customary to require the marriage Of
members Of the royal family to have
the sanction of the government.
Princes and prtncesses frequently
neglect this Formally, or act in defi-
ance Of custom and tradition. bestow-
Ing their hands according TO the die
tates Of their hearts. ana marrying
into the ranks Of the common people.
Such marriages are called morganat-
ic. Scmetimss they are recognised
and rAguiasised. sometkne4 not.

peace was upon him when he awoke,

Inc hot June sun streamed into

Who has often had to sigh,
Can't help softly chucklin' too
Since the worlds so gay to you
When a boy is eight years old.
Winters not so very cold;
Time was, Oh, so long ago,
I was glad to see the snow;
Dull the day or bright the sun,
I could always have my fun,
And full many a youthful day
Just like you, I laughed away.
Nothing. seems to fret you muck,
Light today is troubles touch,
Rain or shine, it's all the same,
You can always have a game;
Sorrows lightly pass you by.
You still laugh when we must sigh,
When you're eight years old, I guess.
Everything spells happiness.
watchin' you, so full O. fun
And forever on the run.
Your old dad who's come to care
And the burdens he' bear,
Can't help wtshin' that the years
Will be slow to bring you tears,
And he prays that all the while
You will keep your. merry smile.

Keep the twinkle In your eyes
Even when you're worldly wise,
Keep the love Of all things good
Even under sorrows hood,
Grow to manhood as you must
But in men retain your trust,
And though burdens OF you pile.
Strive somehow to keep your smile.

STATE PROSPECTS.

AT noon on the day after election
The Herald declines to hazard a
guess as to the result of the guber-
material election in North Dakota.
At this hour returns are JUS. begin

had not been able to report during
the night and from these it is inn
possible to gain sufficient information
on which to base ain estimate.
With perhaps ~one-four,h Of the
probable vote of the state heard
from, O'Connor has a lead Of about
1900. These reports contain a large
proportion OF city and village pre-
cincts, and are most largely repre-
sentative of the eastern portion of
the state. D. has neen taken for
granted that O'Connor would show
a considerable lead in the early fig
ures, and that his lead would be di-
minished by the later returns as the
state territory recognized az most ia
vorable to She League candidates is
to be included in the late reports.
II the O'Connor majority now shown
by the available figures has reached
its peak the election Of Frazier may
be accepted as assured. Whether
or not this is the fact there is no
means of knowing.
Interest has been so centered on
n election of governor. and the fact
that the state would give it's electoral
vote to Harding and Coolidge has
been taken so completely for grant,
ed that there has been practically no
interest in the exact figures on presi-
dent. Few precincts have taken the
trouble to report on This feature at
all. Hence the figur..s on the presi-
dental contest must await the settle
ment Of questions Of interest which
are in doubt.
A reasonable proportion of the vote
In the First congressional district has
been reported and there seems to be
no reason to doubt the election OF

no basis for estimate other. than the
faos that when compared with r.
turns from the same precincts at the
June primary it is apparent that in
practically all OF these Instances
Miss Nelson has maintained her pri-
mary lead and in some cases has
bettered it.
In estimating majorities and max
Ing comparisons readers must bear In
mind that the increased vote due to
the participation of women will In
crease majorities either way propor
tionately. Roughly speaking, the
candidate who in a given precinct
had a majority Of SO in June must now
have a majority of about 100 to be
considered as holding his own. The
increased vote will mean, also, that
when changes occur in the tabula-
fions they will increase or decrease
early majorities with twice the rapid
1ty observed in the primary returns.

cal sequence. came tho reason for
this seyering of o u from all it knew
and loved; the fact Of his lowly
birth. Coming rs it did, out of the
blue Of q trustful life that had never
Questioned much about his origin but
thought little about self; with the
bluntness and directness of an un.

there came no hope Of ever catching

That wal the way it came over and

Gradually u of the blackness he
began to think a little; think back
to his own beginning. Who was he ?
What was he? For the first time in
his life, though he knew life more
thai most of the boys with whom he
had associated, the thought Of shame
in connection with his own birth
came to him, and burrowed and
scorched its way into his soul.
He might have thought of such 4
possibility before perhaps, had not
his very youngest years been hedged
about by a beautiful fancy that sprang
from the brain of an old Irish ;wom-
an in the slums, whose heart was
wide as her ways were devious, and
who said one day when little Milky
had run her an errand, "Shure, an

jest human like the rist av us; We

forth that Milky was the child of the

who were his parents.

 Attorney Marquam then asked the deputy if it was not true that he had said to Mrs. McGarvie, on one occasion, "I have had so damn much trouble with those people that I am thoroughly disgusted with them" Miller could not recall that he had made. any such statement.
 Mrs. McGarvie was then called to the stand and asked if Miller had made that statement to her, and she said he had.
