The election of Woodrow Wilson last Tuesday will mark a new epoch in the history of this country, in the universal opinion of prominent politicians throughout the country at this time. The general opinion is that the election of Wilson will mean much to the prosperity of the country and will aid in the reduction of the high cost of living which has been charged to the Republican Party. The large electoral vote which was given Wilson is unprecedented in the history of the Nation and clearly showed that the country demanded a change. For the first time in nineteen years the country will be governed by a Democratic administration and the country has settled down to watch the outcome of the election. In the opinion of many the election of Wilson will mean the establishment of a public party will grow up betteriment toward the Democratic Party. It has been largely the carelessness of the Republican Party together with the beginning of the Third Party movement that has resulted in its overthrow. To the feet of Roosevelt may be charged the dastardly thing of splitting his party and springing upon the country a strange now thing which could not be sufficiently digested in just ninety days. The attitude of Wilson in the centenary campaign has on the confidence of his yellow citizens and his calm accruement as given forth in many statements give no cause for alarm. The Colored Democrats of the Metropolis rejoice in his election, and believe that he will carry out his words issued to Bishop Walters to the colored citizens during the campaign that he will give the Negro a square deal. The colored Democrats in this city are pleased with the straightforward way in which he has dealt with the colored question and the meeting of the issue of the Negro question. The greatest fight that has been waged in this country for political recognition, was waged by the colored Democrats of this city. The headquarters of the National Colored Democratic League of which Bishop Walter's is president was maintained in this city during the campaign and brought here some of the most prominent colored men of the race. The business-like way in which things were conducted at the headquarters much praised the National Committee and caused them to be regarded in a more favorable light. The headquarters of the enforced Democrate during the campaign was a busy scene. Bishop Walters directed the battle and his loyal followers gave him the needed support. At the headquarters, daily were well known men like Thomas Wallace Swann of Chicago of the Bureau of Publicity, James H. W. Howard of Washington of the Executive Committee, N. B. Marshall the famous lawyer of Washington, A. B. Coney, who conducted the Speakers' Burial, James L. Curtis, F. Q. Borton, James D. Carr, Robert W. Wood, Charles Barnes, R.W. H. Funkin and other officers. The PLANET Corps president who did much of the work for the enforced Democrate during the campaign was much impressed with the conduct and general department of the man. It was the first time in the political history of the race in this country that special headquarters had been set up, measured fully by colored man. Election day will long be remembered in this city. It was an ideal day and voting was heavy in the various electoral districts of the city. Long before the election, queens asked a strength of voting power on hand and surely be wise, in the end erased distractions and allowed and very little disruption to the city. The election of Wilson has already ensured much speculation among the colored Democrats as to who will make up "The Black Cabinet." It is the general opinion that Wilson will appoint colored men to the various offices that are now held by colored men. The colored Republicans holding office are already becoming uneasy, and are beginning to turn their attention for other sources of livelihood. It is believed that Bishop Walters will be consulted freely by Wilson in his choice of colored men to fill the federal federal offices. Governor Wilson will not be carried in his endeavor to find competent colored men to make "The Black Cabinet," for among the colored Democrats may be found some of the most highly trained men of the country. James L. Curtis, a well known lawyer of this city is already being talked about for the Register of the Treasury. Mr. Curtis is a prominent young man and is recognized as a timber for the Treasury department." Lawyer James D. Carr of this city who for a number of years has been a successful suburban counsel has been considered favorably for Assistant Attorney General now held by W. H. Lewis. Mr. Carr has had large legal experience and many years ago was appointed Assistant District Attorney of New York County by Asa Bird Gardner. Other colored men who will be considered in the appointment of offices will be James A. Ross of Chicago who directed the Western Head War of Washington; Robert L. Warring of Washington; and another "As We See It." Thomas Wallace Swann of Chicago who rendered effective work in the campaign as the head of the Bureau of Publicity; Monroe Trotter of the Boston Government; N. B. Marshall and A. B. County of Newark. An office of which is giving the colored Democrat much concern is the director of Port of this city of which Charles W. and B. present the holder. It has been learned from good authority that Governor Wilson aims to appoint a colored man to this office. The Clof Club, an organization of talented and versatile musicians, gave their Sixth Semi-Annual Musicale last Thursday evening at Manhattan Casino. A large and representative gathering well known to the musical and national life of the country was present. The audience of the entertainment musicians who have followed the entertainments of the Clof Club and who realize the versatility of its members. In the audience were well known men of national prominence like W. E. B. DuBois, who together with other prominent folks looked down from the boxes. The many new features that were seen for the first time the music made the entertainment the novel and desailing that has ever been this city. The electrical effect was superb and added much to the brilliancy of the occasion. The Clet Club musical has become to be recognised as the crowning social and musical event of the race in this country, and is watched with keen interest by music lovers of this and other cities. The fame of the organization for its presentation of classical and song by its talented members, was also large number of visitors from other cities. There were many from Boston, Washington and Chicago. The feature of the evening was the playing of the Clet Club Symphony Orchestra composed of 150 members conducted by James Reese Europe and William H. Tyrs. The musical program included popular and classic air composed by the members of the Clet Club and other well known composers. The program was also included many new songs and other features. Several new compositions by the members were presented for the first time. Prominent among these was The Silhouette (Dancing Shadows) by William H. Tyrs. one of the most gifted members of the Club. This composition took well with the ad-tune. Among the musical numbers that were praised from the audience were effective playing for the first time of Walt Disney's "The Fifth Hungarian Dancer." "The Fifth Vienna," composed by W. H. Tyrs; "The Strength of the Nation" by Europe and "Swing Along," composed by Will Marion Cooke and song by杰出 Clet Club chorus. The Clif Club is one of the most nature-nursery organizations of the country. The members of the Club have made high reputation in their work. Signed for X. H. Bedone. Copy of the most commanding honour and the name to a guardian of the nature-nursery since the establishment of the club. Concord Baptist Church of N. B. Dodson at the Concord Baptist Church of Brooklyn. The occasion was being observed and prominent men and women in all walks of life john is praises of Mr. Dodson's faithful work to the Sunday School of the church. During the twenty years that Mr. Dodson has been Superintendent, the Sunday School has grown to be one of the largest and most influential schools of the country. The event took place Sunday afternoon, October 20th and was one of the most significant and notable tributes that has ever been paid a young man of the race. H. Wilson, assistant Superintendent, presided. Edward J. Paulson delivered the address welcome on behalf of the various departments of the school. Mrs. R. P. Hamlin spoke on "N. B. Dodson as Superintendent" and G. H. Carter spoke on "The Superintendent as a financier." A feature of the occasion was the address of Rev. Dr. Moses, pastor of the church who presented Mr. Dodson with an envelope containing a dollar for each year he has been Superintendent, and W. K. Taylor on behalf of the school presented Mr. Dodson with his envelope. Dr. Powell of New York spoke on behalf of the New England Baptist Convention and presented to Mr. Dodson a check representing each year he has been president of the Convention. Mrs. Anna Skerritt of Abbsianian Baptist Church Sunday School of New York closed the presentation with a bouquet of twenty roses with a five dollar piece in the center. Others who spoke in commendation of W. Dodson's work were George E. Widener, Mrs. M. C. L. E. V. C. Eats, Mrs. L. C. Smith, James H. Anderson of the Amsterdam News, Mrs. Silvia Harris and Wesley Horman. Mr. Dodson is one of the most prominent young men of Brooklyn. He takes a keen interest in all movements for race betterment. He is well known as a journalist and is doing effective work for the race that he has been given to his high place in his life of them by his sheer strength of character. He is a graduate of Wayland Seminary of Richmond, Va., and was matrilator of his class. He spent one year in the Academic department of the same school and returned to Brooklyn where he secured work as night clerk in the famous Old Piermont House of Brooklyn and was the first member of the race to hold such office. In 1897 he took up work with The American Press Association and shortly afterward founded the Afro-American Page, a six column Illustrated sheet which is used by most of the newspapers of the race. Mr. Dodson in the establishment of this page has done much for Negro journalism and strengthened the news service of the colored journalism to a large degree. The Afro-American page more than any other agency has the best interest of the race to the cause. Mr. Dodson as a journalist is broad and endeavors to select the very best material for his page. The race can well be proud of the type of young manhood as represented by Mr. Dodson. Plant Correspondent Fighting For Colored Nations. THE PLANET readers will recall that reference was made a few weeks ago of the barring of colored sailors from the Naval Parade recently held in this city. Dealing to get to the bottom of the case I called attention of President Taft to the matter asking him to take up the matter with the Secretary of the Navy. Your appointment has just received the following from the department in answer to his inquiry who colored sailors were barred out of the parade: "My Dear Sir; With reference to your letter of October 22d, permit me to say that at the President's direction the matter was taken up with the Secretary of the Navy who advised that the department is not aware of any discrimination having been shown. It is customary in selecting men for the battalions in land parades to choose men from the gun and deck division, in which, it so happens there are comparatively few men." Since, pour Correspondent opened this question the colored sailors have become interested and urging a continued investigation. The local press of the city is joining in the fight. Bishop Walton Off for the South. Bishop Alexander Waller left for North Carolina last week where he will hold the first of his Southern conferences. The Bishop will look forward to a successful conference. The North Carolina conference is one of the largest of the Elon conferences and the strongest man of the connection. The Bishop will doublenb be gone until late in December. Mrs. Waller the charming mistress of the Bishop is pleasing over the Episcopal residence with her usual greasures gifts. That good can be accomplished through home talks was proven when Dr. P. G. Galloway conducted the revival services of St. Michael Church and secured its converts and 12 backsliders. It has been the custom here to need our strangers to carry on this work or to have some one who does not live in the neighborhood. Even the church pastors sometimes hesitate to take hold of this work. It was therefore a bishop exempt for Gilmore who is a yeoman in the ministry. We consecrated Gilmore in his success when we remember services had just ended at Organ Hill Church with only one convert, and was carried on by one of the best preschers in the State. Mercy Baskerville, one of the most wicked boys in Dr. James Branch was an abolitionist. Mercy fell like a dead man and remained for some time, but now has all the marks of a married man and a Christian. Several other hard sinners, so to speak, who had gone through several meetings were converted under Mr. Gilmore. A letter supposed to be from Whitfield Read in West Virginia was received by his Brethren Taylor Read, of Eureak, Va., saying that certain dispositions be made of his money would not act against him. It is yet doubtful where he is bound whether he is living or dead. His wife, Mrs. Nellie Read of Baltimore is here trying to learn something of his disappearance. * Virtuata' Day at Fifth Street.

Taylor won $2.00 from Beverly and a row followed. Beverly chased Taylor and Bred on him three times. One of them hit the head. It has not been removed. *Beverly escaped.

Ullman Sons last Saturday night struck a pile of dirt at Allen Avenue and Cary St., which overturned the vehicle. He was caught beneath it and instantly killed. Bernard Crawford, a 12-year old colored boy escaped by jumping. It is allowed that the pile of dirt was insufficiently lighted. False Report Causes Run. A false report to the effect that the Mechanics Bank, a strong colored institution, had refused to cash a check drawn for $10.85 caused a run on that bank, which continued through two days, but was finally checked through the assurances of State Bank-Examiner C. C. Barkndale, of the State Corporation Commission, and representatives of the First National Bank and the American National Bank. The colored bank clears through the latter house, and both rushed to its rescue at the first alarm with over $26,000. The net withdrawals were approximately $5,000, nine-tenths of which has again been deposited by reassured depositors. The refusal of the teller to cash the check which caused the trouble was because it was presented after banking hours. The Mechanics Bank has a beautiful new building, excellent credit and standing, and one of the finest vaults obtainable. It is operated entirely by Negroes...American Bank er. New York, N. Y., Nov. 2, 1912. ---!--- Mr. Robinson Passon Away. The funeral of Mr. George Robinson took place last Sunday at 1:00 o'clock from the First Baptist Church South Richmond, Va.

Reviews the Results of the Great Swaggle. That thirty per cent of the colored vote in certain States was cast for Governor Wilson and even a greater per cent in Massachusetts. Connecticut and New York, is the estimate of Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, the manager of the campaign headquarters of The National Independent Political League in this city. A day or so ago the Doctor sent to Governor Wilson the following telegram: "The National Independent Political League congratulates you upon your appointment and acceded victory and rejoices that it has hand in making your success and that of the Democratic Party the stupendous thing it is. The Republican Party is dead and the colored man has received his political emancipation—hereafter he will be found in all parties." OFFICERS ELATED Dr. Waldron has just issued a statement in which he says: "The officers of our League are naturally much elated at the overwhelming success of Wilson and Marshall, particularly as we believe our League contributed very materially to that result." "It is, of course too early to make much of a claim based on a close analysis of the vote cast, but from other evidences we feel safe in stint and the likely progeny of an coined voter supported Wilson in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Indiana and Ohio and probably twenty per cent in Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Illinois and Missouri. It was in these States that the work of the League was mainly concentrated. "The results in Massachusetts and Connecticut are particularly notable. These States as well as New York and New Jersey were covered more particularly by our Eastern headquarters in these States we were greatly helped by the Boston Guardian a very influential colored newspaper edited by W. Monroe Trotter, and we also had the assistance of The New England Suffrage League. THE SITUATION UNDERSTOOD. "Very early in the fight the League recognized that the most dangerous rival of Governor Wilson would be Roosevelt, and for reasons that need not be gone into now, our chief efforts must be to prevent the independently inclined colored people from drifting to him. "Hence our fight was largely centered on Roosevelt, especially in New England and New York where independence among colored voters and even straight Democracy, was already well established. The results showing Roosevelt third in the States where there was a considerable colored vote fully confirms our judgment and our claims. LESS THAN FIFTY PER CENT. "In fact we do not think it extravagant to state that less than fifty percent of our people voted for the two Republican candidates in the New England States and New York. "Naturally—the colored office-holders here, who are in the presidential employment class, are very sad; of them appeared to be, or pretended to be, the Republican Taft's relection. No doubt a few wavering colored voters were kept on the sinking ship by the confident assurances of these office holders. "We rejoice, however, that the main thing that we have struggled for has been accomplished; we have shattered the chains that bound the race en-masse to the tail of the Republican cart, and have shown at least to the manly and broad-guaged voters the race lies in the same direction as that of the other part of "The common people—the working folks—of our country." THINKING FOR HIMSELF. "The results of this election make it clear that the colored man is thinking for himself in politics and we propose to keep our organization alive and active in order to push and spread the work we have begun. "I am glad to say that the high plane on which Governor Wilson's campaign was conducted has materially aided us and served to resemble a reactive character as to my race by a Democratic speaker was brought to my attention during the entire campaign, and that was by a speaker right here in Washington, but it seems not to have been taken seriously by anybody. "There is not the slightest fear among the leaders of our League that bad results to the colored American will flow from the Democratic victory, and I am to say, with the hope of seeing the leaders in this movement for the political constitution of the colored man, are men of education products of the best schools." goodly number being from Harvard Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and Amherst, and from leading colleges more especially for colored, such as Lincoln, Howard, Atlanta, Fisk and Wilberforce. "Such men as these are not easily frightened by burugboos, and they know also that the interests of the colored voters are identical with those of the masses of all other races in this country." "It is, after all, a rather humilizing thing to admit that it has required stronguous and heroic efforts to accomplish it trained in the fight for "The Second Emancipation of the Race," but it is gratifying to know that the completion of the task will be easier than its beginning."

Indicted on Four Counts for Violation of Mason Act—Released on Ball. --- Chicago, Nov. 7. — Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight prize fighter, was arrested by Federal officers tonight, charged with a violation of the Mahn white slave law. His arrest followed a return of the Federal grand jury of an indictment charging him with having caused the transportation of Belle Schroiber, a white woman, 26 years old, from Pittsburgh to Chicago, August 10, y@10 for an unlawful purpose. Federal officers searched the South side several hours before Johnson was found hiding in a hotel surrounded by four Negro guards. An attempt was at first made by the guards to prevent the officers from entering Johnson's rooms, but they were pushed aside, and the government warrant was served on the prize fighter without serious difficulty. At the Federal building, years came to his eyes as the officers put handcuffs on his wrists. "You don't have to do this, I'm not going to run away, he said, 'I'm square—you ought to know that.' Our bonds had been fixed at $30,000, but all the Federal judges had left the building for the night, and destined to leave their homes to go through the formality of escaping half. After several hours' work, Johnson found a secret work to act, and the police fighter was taken to the hops of his legal mother on the South side, who escaped the bonds, along with several others, and Johnson was released from custody. cor P| SATURDAY NOVEMTER 16, 191 The Three - (iwardsmen ALEK ee ies eee omarion Sous Psi Sores re mar ae Renee tia ames ua Shoe ‘ ey arsenen neve Sibi a Arai Fes Gee emorame Drariennan. 7% SSS Twn een Artaran tn 3 esere lest steer Maroney.

In addition to this, after half an! hour’s Conversation, D'Artaguan was convinced that milady was bis com- patriot; she spoke French with an. ele- fince an@ « purity that left no doubt on that bead. DArtagnan was profuse ia gallant speeches and protestations of deroted- pees.

D'Artagoan took lave of milady and left the salon the happiest of men. 7 Upon the stains he met Kitty, the pretty maid, who bruabed against him as sho pase, aod then, blushing to ibe eyes, asked bis pardon for having louched him, in a voice so sweet and with ao kind an expression that the pardon was granted instantly. D'artagnan came again on the mor ow and was atlll-better received than m.tho day before. Lord de Winter was not at home. Milady asked D'Ar- agnan whence be came, who were bia Mends and whether he bad not at ome times thought of attaching bim- eit to M. le Cardinal.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1912. Colored men must understand that Colored men must understand that it does not pay to deal in sharp prac- The best way to merit the esthetics of your neighbors is to act honorably in all matters and earn belittling methods to secure financial advantage. Gov. Woodrow Wilson, the president-elect seems to be making no mistakes. He evidently realizes that he has a monumental task before him and he is preparing to perform it. --- When colored men learn to conduct themselves so as to merit the confidence and esteem of the better class of white people, then they, will be in a position where the confidence of the colored people will surely be theirs without the asking. Colored people should cultivate the friendship of the white people in all parts of the country and especially in the Southland. This should not be done by a sacrifice of principle or by supine submission for both of these methods breed contempt. We are not of the opinion that a wholesale discharge of colored office holders will follow the induction of Gov. Woodrow Wilson into office. It will take some time to "weed out" those not under the civil service rules and those within the beneficent provisions of that department may have to more closely observe rules and regulations, but they are liable to hold on just the same. We return thanks for an invitation to the reception tendered: Grand Worthy Master Floyd Rose and Grand Worthy Secretary Maurice Rousseille at the True Reformers' Hall last Tuesday night by the members of the order in honor of their removal of their residences to this city, the former from St. Louis, Mo. and the latter from Alexandria, Va. The war between Turkey and the author is much more interesting read- ing in the newspapers, due of course to the fact that there are no war correspondents allowed at the front. They are able to describe the war scenes by imagination and give the kind of vivid descriptions of the battles that the people want. Of course, more than ninety per cent. of these recitals are pure fiction. When two leading financial institutions of the white people in Richmond, Va. come to the assistance of a colored institution with offers of one hundred thousand dollars each, or more if needed to protect it from a "run" made by colored people, it seems to us that the question as to who are the best friends of the colored people in this community has already been decided by overwhelming testimony, backed up by incontestible facts. The white institutions were the American National Bank and the First National Bank and the colored institution the Mechanics' Savings Bank A SCRIPTURAL CITATION. Col Thecolate Roosevelt announces that the battle for the principles for which he is contending will go on. We are led to wonder if he intends to continue this battle along the lines previously announced. We wish to know if he intends to draw the color line in the Southern States and eliminate the color line in the Northern ones. Can this self-stultification go on forever and can any party secure a permanent foothold in the nation with error as its chief corner stone? We would to God that our distinguished fellow citizen and celebrated leader would leave alone that part of the Bible which refers to Arma-sodden and turn his attention to Acts X. In this chapter, there is this declaration on the part of Peter. "Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation, but (God hath showed me that I should not call any) man common or unclean." It seems to us strange that in all of his divine revelations as handed down with reference to Armageddon, Col. Roosevelt should have so originally failed in taking note of those sections and paragraphs in the other part of the Scriptures. EXPERIENCE MEETING How to Play an Amusing Game on Thanksgiving Day. For a group of people of forty years or over a reminiscence party is frequently made very enjoyable. To get the fun into swing it is only necessary to pass around the room a basket containing folded slips of paper on which such questions as these given below are written: What was the occasion of the joilest time you ever had? What was the most thrilling adventure you ever had? Who is or was the most interesting person you ever met? What is the best true story you ever heard? What is the least explable occurrence you ever heard of or experienced? What was the happiest hour of your life? What was the greatest pleasure of your childhood? Each guest draws one of the folded alips. Ten minutes is allowed for reflection, during which all players think up the answer to their questions. The person drawing the alips marked 1 then gives his experience. When this has been laughed over or otherwise enjoyed the person holding the slip marked 2 then relates, and so on. It makes a most enjoyable little pastime and will lead to many exchanges of pleasant reminiscences. The hostess will, of course, avoid any question which could evoke unpleasant or sorrowful memories. How to Kill Mice The usual necessary but barbarous mousetrap may be favourable supplement with the following morefully quick, sure death device. Fill a big stone crock with water and cover it-preserve jar fashion with parchment in which, tightly stretched, you make a cross cut. Set this crock near shelf, contain or other jars which may afford the small mauraders a foothold opportunity and sprinkle the parchment near the cut with bits of cheese or bacon. The mouse will scent the delicacies, will climb the crock for them and will slip through the slit in the cover and drown in the crock. The stiff parchment polishes of the cut will spring back in place immediately into position for the next victim. How to Cure Indigestion. A safe and quick remedy for indigestion, heartburn and similar lilies is to mix half a teaspoonful of baking soda with the same amount of powdered magnesia and dissolve it in half a cupful of water. This may be cold, but acts more quickly when hot. An equally speedy headache cure is made by squeezing the juice of half a lemon and half a teaspoonful of soda into half a glassful of water, either hot or cold. How to Brown Gravy. Instead of standing on a hot stove to brown flour for gravels, put it in a tinepan and set the pan in a moderately hot oven. It will require very little watching. When cold put in glass jars. In this way you can brown sufficient flour for a long time. WOMAN SLAIN AND HOME FIRED VISITOR ACCUSED OF CRIME Man Seen Coming From Direction of Farm Shortly Before Fire Was Discovered, Is Held. The Rayne farm house, situated about one mile from Powellsville, Md., a small village in the eastern part of Wichomie county, was the scene of a murder on Friday, when some one entered the building and crushed in the skull of Mrs. Laura Rayne, the lone occupant of the house, and then, in the hope of hiding the crime, fire to the dwelling. Jennamin T. Davis, a resident of Powellsville, has been arrested and charged with the crime. About five o'clock in the morning smoke was seen pouring from the windows of the Rayne home by neighbors, and upon reaching the house they found a pile of wood in the center of the kitchen, which had been saturated with kerosene and then ignited. Near the burning mass was the form of Mrs. Rayne, apparently dead, with the top of her skull crushed in. When the neighbors attempted to move the body they found Mrs. Rayne was still alive and she managed to say "Don't" Medical aid was quickly summoned, but when Dr. Lawrence Freyn, of Pittsville, arrived he pronounced her dead. A short time prior to the discovery of the smoke coming from the Rayne house, Davis, who is now under arrest, was seen coming from the direction of the Rayne home with a gun under his arm. Suspicion quickly pointed to him. It was alleged that he caused the separation of Mrs. Rayne and her husband some months ago, and has since been a frequent visitor at the house. Warrants were sworn out for his arrest. After some searching by Sheriff Smith, Davis was discovered at Willard, a small town about six miles from the scene of the murder. He was arrested, and on being arraigned he pleaded not guilty. He was held under $200 bail for court. Mrs Rayne, the murdered woman, was about forty years old, and had been married twice. About six years ago she married Lemuel Rayne, a prosperous farmer, with whom she lived until two months ago, when the couple separated. Her first husband was Noah Clark, of Worcester county. Davis is a widower and has been engaged in the mercantile business near Powellville. About two years ago he was arrested and convicted of illicit selling of liquor and sentenced to six months in the Maryland penitentiary. Leaves $1,000,000 to Charity LEAVES $1,000,000 to Charity.

Corn Crop Breaks Record 1. A corn crop paid to amount to 3,169,137,000 bushels, or 281,921,000 bushels; more than the greatest crop of corn ever grown in any country of the world, is the feature of the country's most remarkable agricultural year in history, according to the November report of the United States department of agriculture. This great crop of corn was worth on Nov. 1 to farmers $1,830,776,000. The mere yield was 21.3 and quality 101.1. 2. The enormous corn of $4,171,124,000 represented the farm value on Nov. 1 of the United States crops of corn, hay, wheat, or a potatoe, barley, flaxseed, rye and oatwheat. With the value of the growing cotton crop and the crops of tobacco, rice and apples, the aggregate value of these principal farm products will amount to well beyond $5,000,006,000. Upon the preliminary estimate of production and prices announced, the value of the crops figure out as follows: Corn, $1,159,778,000; hay, $554,15,000; wheat, $603,038,000; oats, $476,169,000; potatoes, $128,501,000; Barley, $129,848,000; Mansood, $25,692,000; rye. $24,770,000; buckwheat, $12,286,000. Record crops of corn, potatoes, Saxedo, cats, barley, rye and hay were harvested this year. The government's official estimates of the value of the various crops and its final estimates of total production will be announced in December. Fear Lynching; Rush Men to Jail. Women living in the vicinity of Kennett Square, Chester county, Pa. are considerably relieved because of the capture of three colored men, Thomas Matthews, John Crone and William Asbury, who are accused of having broken into the house of Alban Dilworth two weeks ago and attacking his daughter, fifty years old. Matthews is alleged to have confessed. The attack was so brutal and the fire of the residents were stirred to such a pitch that the authorities quietly arrested the men and had them in the West Chester prison before letting the public know of the capture, for they feared a lynching might be attempted. On Halloween'en, at about midnight, trifle masked men went to the house of Dilworth in a excluded spot near Rosedale. Dilworth is eighty-seven years old and his wife is more than eighty. They knocked on the door and asked that Miss Emma Dilworth come downstairs, as her sister wished to see her. The family suspected something amiss and Miss Dilworth decided not to go to the door. The men were entraged and stoned the house, shattering nearly every window. Then they broke in the door, went to the room of Miss Dillworth and pulled her out. The three occupants of the house fought the intruders and the daughter broke away, only to be seized again and dragged out to the barn, where she was terribly beaten and abused and left almost dead. In the scuffle she was shot in the head over the eye and may lose her eyesight. Mrs. Theodore Woodward, a sister, found her in the barn the next morning. Burns Roosevelt Picture. An exclusive social and Republican organization in Meriden, Conn., the Home club, is in a chaotic state as the result of the action of some of the dyes in the wool Republican members, who destroyed the photograph of ex-President Roosevelt, which was presented by him to the club with his autograph, when he was president. When the election of Wilson was indicated late Tuesday night the picture was taken from a prominent place on the wall of the clubroom by one member and thrown to the floor. Another member thrust his foot through the canvas, and then it was taken to the lawn in front of the club building and burned. --- Andrew Carnegie will pay no personal property tax to the city of New York.

Griscom, chairman of the board of directors of the international Mercantile Marine company, a director of the Pennsylvania Railroad company and widely identified with big financial interests, died at his home in Haverford, near Philadelphia. He was seventy-one years old. The death came as a great surprise to every one outside the immediate family. Mr. Griscom had been ill for only two weeks. Congestion of the brain caused death. Mr. Griscom was at times a director of the United States Steel Corporation, the William Cramp Ship and Engine Building company, the Electric Boat company, the Electric Company of America, the Fidelity Trust company, the Bank of North America, the Commercial Trust company, the Fourth Street National bank, the Mercantile Trust company, the Long Island and railroad, the National Transit company, the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk railroad, the United Gas Improvement company, the Western Savings Fund society and a trustee of the Atlantic Mutual Insurance company. Held Prisoners Veare Illegally. Discovery has been made of the plight of four penitentiary prisoners in Columbus, Ohio, who, because they were insane and were transferred from the state prison to the hospital, have been unlawfully held for years. John H. Whafer, sent to the penitentiary in 1874, has been confined for thirty-three years after his term expired. L. B. Chidester, a forger, received in 1878; should have been released in 1884. Jerry Cartt, sentenced for arson, has been detained twenty-four years. Charles Willis should have been released twenty-seven years ago. The prisoners will be transferred immediately to their respective counties to be probated. Their plight was discovered when the state hospital authorities submitted a bill for their keep. Thankfully Proclamation President Taft issued the time-honored Thanksgiving proclamation calling on the nation to render thanks for past blessings and setting aside Nov. 28 for the observance. Washington, Nov. 8.—President Taft issued the time-honored Thanksgiving proclamation calling on the nation to render thanks for past blessings and setting aside Nov. 28 for the observance. The president departed from the usual text to write in a little paragraph, which might refer to the election, and which specified how strong and steadfast the people were in the "conservation of the heritage of self-government bequeathed to us by the wisdom of our fathers and their firm resolve to transmit that heritage unimpaired." Ban on Christmas Trees. The department of agriculture has placed an embargo upon the interstate shipments of Christmas trees from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, because of the gypsy and brown-tail moths. The quarantine becomes effective Nov. 26 and also affects the shipment of decorative plants, such as holly and laurel, known as "Christmas green or greenery." Only in cases where the plants and plant products have been inspected and pronounced to be free from these two insects by the department's inspectors will they be permitted to enter interstate commerce. 25 Die In Religious Bliss. Twenty-five persons were killed and many others were wounded in religious rites at Lerria, in Intermudura province, Portugal. The rioting followed a clash between Liberals, and Clerical. Troops were rushed to the scene and the city has been plumed under martial law. PLEADS GUILTY TO SHOOTING T.R. Says He Thought Roosevelt a Menace to Country. TO PROBE HIS SANITY Would-Be Assassin Talks About Killing Men Who Want to Keep Office. John Schrank pleaded guilty in Milwaukee, Wis., to attempting to murder Theodore Roosevelt. In his plea Schrank sought to distinguish between an attack on Roosevelt as a "menace" and an attack on Roosevelt as a citizen. Judge A. C. Backus announced on reading a petition of Winfred C. Zabell, the district attorney, that he would name a commission to examine Schrank as to his mental condition. Fewer than 150 persons listened to the proceedings and watched the small, compact form of Schrank as he stepped slowly to the bar and entered his plea. Of this number, twenty detectives and half a score of deputy sheriffs, kept unnecessary, but vigilant, watch on all persons in the room not known to them. The district attorney read the complaint in which Schrank was accused of having made an attack upon the person of "one Theodore Roosevelt, with a deadly weapon and with intent then and there to kill and slay the said Theodore Roosevelt." "How do you plead to this charge?" the prosecutor asked Schrank, standing at his elbow. "Why, guilty, Mr. Zabel," replied the prisoner, in a confused way, as though he was not following the proper procedure. "You have heard the complaint," interposed Judge Backus in a loud voice. "You understand that in it you are charged with having attempted to murder Theodore Roosevelt. Do you plead guilty or not guilty?" "I did not mean to kill a citizen, Judge," began Schrank, and the crowd in the court room gave first audible evidence of its interest in the case. "I shot Theodore Roosevelt because he was a menace to the country. He should not have a third term. It is bad that a man should have a third term. I did not want him to have one. I shot him as a warning that men must not try to have more than two terms as president. "I shot Theodore Roosevelt to kill him. I think all men trying to keep themselves in office should be killed; they become dangerous. I did not do it because he was a candidate of the Progressive party, either, gentlemen." "All right," interrupted the court, taking from the district attorney the plea for a sanity commission for the defendant. He read it hastily while the presocutor explained its purport. "The man is inane," said the district attorney. "It would be wrong to sentence him for a crime if he was mentally unsound, just because he was willing to plead guilty." "I will name a commission," announced the court. "Let no one leave the court room until the defendant Schrank is outside of the city hall." Schrank went back to fall with his guardsmen. Judge. Hackus then appointed on the commission Dr. F. C. Studley, the superintendent of a sanitarium; Dr. William F. Becker, the former head of the Northern Hospital for the Innaane at Winnebago, Wls.; Dr. D. W. Harrington, a nerve specialist, and Dr. Richard Dewey, all of Milwaukee. The court appointed Joseph Flanders, of Milwaukee, an attorney, to represent Schrank in the sanity hearing. Schrank, in jail, appeared little concerned in the fact that his liberty for possibly the next fifteen years was in leopardy. MASKED MAN BEATS WOMAN Burglar Falls Her With Chair When Discovered In House. Awakened by a noise in a room adjoining, Mrs. Minor Smith, of North Berwick, Pa., who was alone in the house with her baby, entered the dimly-lighted room to investigate. She was horrified to see a man, with a black mask over his face, leap toward her. He grazed a chair and felled her to the floor, unconscious. Jumping through the window, breaking the sash as he went, the burglar escaped. The continued screams of the baby brought neighbors to the scene, with the husband, employed at night at a steel plant, leading the posse. Killa Baby For Revenge. To take revenge on his wife, with whom he had quarreled, Charles Rose, of Chicago, killed his two-year-old daughter. The child was amothered to death. A note pinned to the pillow on which the child lay was signed by the father, who admitted his deed. The police were unable to find Rose. Meyerstown, Pa., Postoffice Dynamited The postoffice at Meyerstown, Lebanon county, Pa., was broken into and the safe dynamited. The robbers obtained Nile loot. Mentana and Tennessee Sail. The United States armored cruisers Montana and Tennessee slipped anchor in Philadelphia and departed under rush orders for Turkish waters. Alled Resolve GIFs Five hundred and forty-eight eight leave men and women fapped their way through "Misery Lane" in their pil- grimage to the office of the depar- ment of charities in New York city, where funds were distributed to the departments blind. Black received $49 in cash. 8 BOY HELD IN ROOM MANGLED BY BULLDOG With his legs frightfully torn and suffering from shock, a twelve-year-old lad, William Holmes, is at his home on Ohio street, Buffalo, N. Y., while the police are scouring the country for the inhuman brute who held the boy in the rear room of a store Saturday afternoon while a bulldog chowed and mangled his limbs. Several men, so the lad says, stood by laughing at the brutal performance. After the dog had chewed at the legs of the Helpless boy he was released and chased from the store. Young Holmes limped to his home, where the wounds, were cauterized. Saturday afternoon the boy began throwing stones, and by accident one shattered the window of the Marine Supply store. A moment later a man issued from the door, grabbed young Holmes and dragged him into the store, where a bulldog lay. The police say that the manager of the store admits that a bulldog is kept on the premises, but denies that the man who dragged the boy into the store is in the firm's employ. TO PROTECT AMERICANS Great Britain and Russia Have Already Undertaken That Task. The European powers most intimately concerned in the Balkan situation have undertaken to extend protection to Americans in Turkey. The American embassies in Europe were instructed when informing the various nations of the decision of the United States to send the cruisers Tennessee and Montana to Asiatic Turkey, to inquire whether provision had been made or was contemplated by them in the interest of American citizens in Turkey. Replies indicate that instructions issued by Great Britain and Russia anticipated the desires of the American government. The cutter Unalga was ordered to remain at Port Said, Egypt, for orders from Ambassador Rockhill at Constantinople. LORIMER VERY ILL Former Senator to Be Operated on For Appendicitis. William Lorimer, who recently was ousted from the United States senate, is seriously ill with appendicitis in Chicago. After a consultation of physicians an immediate operation was decided upon and preparations were made to take Mr. Lorimer to the Presbyterian hospital. He has been ill since Sunday. Lorimer's illness is said to have resulted indirectly from an automobile accident in which he was slightly injured shortly after leaving Washington several months ago. It was said that he was in a weakened physical condition due to overwork and the strain of his trial which resulted in his being ousted from the United States senate. Starved Baby to Death. Guilty of second degree manslaughter, after being tried on a charge of neglecting her infant son until he died of starvation when a year old, was the verdict brought by the jury against Henrietta Tyson, twentyone years old, in the Nassau county court in Minsola, N. Y. The girl's grandfather was the state's chief witness, testifying that his granddaughter, in neglecting her child, attended moving picture shows. How to Fasten Buttons When sewing on buttons place a pin across the top of the button and sew over it. Then when enough stitches have been taken the pin may be removed and the button drawn a little away from the cloth and the thread wrapped several times around the stem thus formed. Properly fastened, these buttons ought to stay on as long as the garment lasts. How to Keep Juices in Pies. To keep juices from running out of berry pin place in the center two or three sticks of macaroni standing upright. The juices bubbles harmlessly up in these tubes instead of running over the oven. THE MICROSOUND PLANET, SUNCOORD, VIRGINIA. THANKSGIVING RECIPES. How to Make Delicious and Inexpensive Turkey Dressing. Roast and peel a plot of large chest butts, then cook half an hour in milk. Pound thoroughly or run, through a colander. Add the liver of the turkey, which has been boiled and minced fine, a tablespoonful minced ham or sausage meat, half a cupful dry bread crumbs, a tablespoonful minced onion, a tablespoonful of minced celery, the juice of a lemon, a tablespoonful softened butter and an egg to bind. Cheatnut Sauce. After the turkey has been taken up and laid on its hot platter remove the extra fat from the top of the drippings remaining in the pan and stir two tablespoonfuls of flour into what is left. There should be two or three tablespoonfuls of the rich drippings. If more than that, let it boil down before adding the flour. Cook until frothy and scrape the glaze down from the sides of the pan. Pour in two cupfuls boiling water, stir until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper, and two cupfuls of the cheesnut, shelled, blanched, cooked and unashed, together with a tablespoonful of tomato ketchup or chili sauce. Pour into the sauce beet and serve with the turkey. Spanish Stuffing. Chop fine a quarter pound fat salt pork and mix with it a plot of broad crumbs. Add a cupful strained tomato, a tablespoonful of sugar, two tablespoonful minced onion and one of parsley, a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of pepper. After this is thoroughly incorporated work into it a pound of sausage meat. Mincemeat Without Heat. A very good minced meat is made by simply omitting the meat from any good recipe and substituting extract of beef dissolved in water. Allow one small jar of extract to four quarta chopped apples. CARE OF AUTO CLUTCH. How, to Oil Leather Faced Type Quickly and Effectively. Automobiles that have the leather faced type clutch should be inspected once a month and the leather given an application of nectafoot or caster oil. Apply the oil by placing the clutch in the "released" position and then spreading the oil over the surface of the leather, being careful not to use so much that it will not be absorbed by the leather. It is preferable to do this at such a time that the car can stand overnight and thus give the oil time to penetrate. When the clutch alps it is usually due to an excess of lubricating oil on the leather. Fuller's earth or talcum powder fitted in upon the face of the leather will usually overcoine the difficulty. In an emergency the oil may be removed with gasoline, but care should be taken to apply neatsoft oil as soon as possible, because the gasoline absorbs the natural oil of the leather and leaves it very dry and harsh. It may sometimes be found necessary to increase the tension of the clutch spring to overcome slipping, but this is very seldom the case. When the leather is dry and hard the clutch will take hold harshly. Several applications of moistfoot oil may be necessary to overcome this, especially if it has been neglected for some time. WINTER UNDERWEAR HOW TO MAKE IT LAST. A crochet needle is a good thing to mend knit underwear with. To do this place the worn portion in an embroidery frame, then with thread to suit the mesh of the garment, wool, silk or cotton pick up the ends of the stitches where they are broken off and unite them, working back and forth until the holes are filled in evenly and smoothly. Perhaps the neck of the underwear has stretched in the washing until it is all out of shape. In that case run a drawing around the neck, wet it, and draw it into place; then when it is dry it will be the proper size. You may then crochet a neat bonding in place of the one which has worn away. And if the buttonholes have worn out rip off the old facing in the front and stitch on in its place a new strip of steen. Sew the old holes together as closely as you can to their original size and shape; then catch them down to the satten and cut that to fit; then work the hole you would if it were a new one. new to Best Timed Nerves When the body is tired and the nerves taxed to the limit a good salt rub will do wonders. Have the tub half filled with warm water, take a handful of sea salt, dip it in the bath and rub the body from chin to toes. Use as much salt as you require, but rub gently first. After a few washes the skin will become accustomed to the rough salt Rinse off with the salt bath and drive with a Turkish towel and lie down for half an hour. How to Mend Lace Curtains. It is very hard to mend a hole in laccurains or the lace in underskirts. Very good way to accomplish the task is to take a piece of the lace while you are bruising, stick it on the article with raw starch and press hard. When dry the patch cannot be seen. To Remove Ink Stains. To remove india ink or indelible pencil status from the hands appl) wood or grain alcohol) with a soft brush or cloth and then wash the hands in warm soappads. How to Brush Beaver Hata. One should brush a black beaver hat with a soft brush. After being caught in a rainforest, however, a beaver hat should not be brushed until it drins. If the bulk of your family party is to be young children, do not be overruled by tradition in ordering the muffin. A grooming board may be historic, but it will breed grooming youngsters and shows little sense. Do not stuff your children with pies, doughnuts, oyster rolls, pickles and rich sweets, even though your mother and grandmother always had them for Thanksgiving. Have a simple corn soup. Instead of the rich black bean sort, and no fish, or, if you will not omit this course, do not have heavy salmon or lobster. Let the turkey be the main dish of the meat and see that the children's portion is not too large. There is no more indigestible meat than turkey, especially to the young. Mashed potatoes, one other vegetable and cranberries are enough with the "national bird." If you have a salad let it be a crisp lettuce, garnished with cream cheese balls and barley due. Vanilla ice cream, with hot chocolate or orange sauce, is quite as palatable as very rich nesslede puddings and other fancy lees. At the close of the dinner let the children take a short run on the porch or pavement if they are to stay for the rest of the evening. This takes away their stuffy feeling and keeps them from getting so fretted. THE STOUT WOMAN. How to Successfully Cure an Unbe- coming Double Chin. To begin with, sumear the back of your fingers with cold cream. Then place your finger tips together under your chin, and with a quick move- ment draw them apart up to the base of your ears, all the time, of course, pressing the flesh firmly, though gently. Repeat about fifteen to twenty times. Next, with the side of your first finger, massage from the point of your chin downward toward the base of your neck. These two massage movements, if practiced regularly, will be found sufficient, along with the follow- ing exercises, to take away the dis- figurement in time. The first exercise is quite simple. Just bend your head backward slowly as far as it will go. Then, with a quick movement, bring it back till your chin nearly touches your chest. Repeat this six or eight times, and, if possible, before an open window. The second exercise is also very simple. Turn your head from side to side at the same time raising and dropping your chin slightly. If you watch a Chinese unmarmir figure with a "shaking" head, you will see exactly how the above exercise ought to be performed. An excellent preparation to use for the massage is one ounce of cold cream mixed with a teaspoonful of barbecue powder. Another recipe is: One dram of white beeswax, ten drains of cornmeat and ten drains of almond oil. These ingredients should be mixed together on a gentle heat and beaten till they become of a creamy consistency. How to Hang Curtain "Women do not realize the danger to themselves in trying to hang curtains on poles beyond their reach." asserts a well known physician. "Every autumn I have several cases of more or less severe internal displacements, resulting from the overhead reaching." If women en would take the trouble to mount stepladders when hanging curtains putting up pictures or cleaning chandeliers no harm would befall, but women have a constitutional dislike for stepladders; they prefer to climb on tallies, piano stools and bureau to reach high places, and there is always just the one final reach for the fixture that is just out of tiptoe reach. It is the one final reach that usually does the mischief, and years of ill health or suffering have resulted from overhead reaching during the fall moving or setting to right. How to Cook Plan. Keep lengths of old cotton cloth or cheesecloth in the kitchen pantry to use when baking fish. Grease the pan, then lay in a piece of cloth, letting the ends of the cloth extend over the sides of the pan. Lay the fish on this cloth. When the baking is done the fish may be taken out and slipped on to the platter without danger of breaking the fish and so spoiling the looks of it when served.

In many cases a brush will not be needed, but a soft flamed cloth can be used in its place. As soon as the water in the pall becomes dark and closely empty it and fill with some of the fresh bran water on the stove, which should be kept boiling hot. How to Dress Up Footwear.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1912 CONGRESS IS DEMOCRATIC Wilson's Followers Will Control Both Branches. Ex-Bspeaker Joseph Cannon Loses His Beat In Lower House, and Norris Dixon, Bourne and Kenyon, Progressives, Are Retired From Senate. Washington, Nov. 6--The new congress will be Democratic in both its branches. The senate will probably stand 52 Democrats and 44 Republicans and the house 252 Democrats, 129 Republicans and 14 Progressives. "Uncle Joe" Cannon is among the defeated, but Colonel Roosevelt's son-in-law, Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, slipped to by a narrow margin, as did also Sereno E. Payne, of New York, at present chairman of the minority in the house, and John Weeks of Massachusetts. The democratic gain in Massachusetts was not anywhere nearly as great as the enthusiastic Bay State leaders imagined. In Ohio the indianations are that the Republicans will have only two or three congressmen, while in the present house they have five. There will be eighteen Republican congressmen from New York as against fourteen in the present house. In the senate the Progressive leaders were smitten hip and thigh. George W. Norris and Joseph M. Dixon, the national Progressive chairman, are surely defeated, as are probably Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, and William S. Kenton, of Ohio Governor Stubbs, of Kansas will probably fall on the election. In the Senate the Democratic gains are as follows. One in Colorado, where Senator Guggenheim retires; one in Iowa, where Senator Kenyon retires; one in Montana, where Senator Dixon goes out, one in Nebraska to take the place of Senator Norris Brown, one in New Jersey to take the place of Senator Briggs, and probably one in Nevada, taking the place of Senator Mansry. In Massachusetts it is expected that on point ballot for United States senator the legislature will be very close. Of thirty candidates for the house of representatives so far known to be elected, 32 are Republicans, 27 are Democrats, 2 are Progressives and 1 is a Socialist. This is a gain for the Democrat, and there is a possibility that the Progressives may hold the balance of power. The terms of thirty-one United States senators will expire on March 4, 1933. In addition to most of these four seats now vacant were involved in the elections Fourteen were Democrats and twenty-one Republicans. The Democrats whose present term expire next March are A. O. Bacon, of Georgia, Joseph W. Bates, of Texas, John H. Bunkhead, of Alabama, Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, M. J. Foster, of Louisiana, O. Ondahl, Gardner, of Maine, Thomas F. Martin, of Virginia, Robert F. Owen, of Oklahoma, Thomas H. Papier, of Kentucky, Leroy Perry, of Mississippi, F. M. Simmons, of North Carolina; Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, and Clarence W. Watson, of West Virginia. The Republicans whose terms end next March are: William E. Horah, of Iaho, Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Oregon, Frank O. Briggs, of New Jersey, Norris Brown, of Nebraska, Henry E. Burnham, of New Hampshire, W. Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois; Charles Curtis, of Kansas; Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana; Robert J. Gamble, of South Dakota; Simon Guzpe, of Colorado; William S. Kenyon, of Ohio; Knute Nelson, of Minnesota; Harry A. Richardson, of Delaware; William Alden Smith, of Michigan, Frank E. Warren, of Wyoming, George P. Hammore, of Rhode Island, and Albert H. Fall of New Mexico. The three vacancies in the present senate which were filled at the election were caused by the deaths of William L. Hughes, Democrat, of Colorado, and William B. Heyburn, Republican, of Idaho, and the ousting of William Lorimer, of Illinois. Several of the senators whose terms will expire next March already have been re-elected by the state legislatures and were not therefore involved in the balloting. Several faces that have been familiar to visitors in the senate galleries for many years will be missing after March 4 next, among them being Senator Bailey, of Texas. Nebraska in Democratic Column. Lincoln, Neb. Nov. 6. Wilson has carried the state by upwards of 15,000. Stephens, Democrat, has been re- lected to congress in the Third disti- tion. Stevens, Republican, is probably elected in the Ninth. Wilson carries Leonardson, Bryna's home county. The race between Norris, Republican, and Shannonberg, Democrat, for United States senator is close. Thought He Had 'Em a New Way. Digby Roll is a dear old soul. He's full of sunshine and good works and a form of morbid indigestion. Every now and then Digby echoes like a sea shell. His host conversation will be interrupted by an old mooing sound which comes from the neighborhood of his breakfast. The other day Digby discovered in front of the Lamb's bar a friend who has been drunk for seven or eight years. S "Tom," said Digby, placing one hand in remembrance strance on his Tom looked at Digby in some apprehension. He didn't mind what Digby said. It was that unclassified sound in the midst of Digby's buttons that alarmed him and made him feel that if he wasn't seeing things maybe he was beginning to hear things. "You--whirrrr--are not--goop, goo-wallop, treating your family right, Tom," continued Mr. Bell. "Gurrrrr." Tom threw of Mr. Bell's hand and moved away. "Go away from me, darn you!" said the victim to Digby. "You're haunted!"—Cincinnati Times Star. Might Have! I have lived my life, and I face the end- But that other life I might have led.

One morning as her husband was sitting down to the breakfast table he glanced at the dining room clock and said, "We must be later than usual this morning." A man is sitting at a table with two other men. One man is pointing at the other man. "Don't place too much confidence in that clock. It stopped at 5 o'clock this morning, and I just set it going by guess," replied the good wife. "Were you up at 5 o'clock?" asked the husband. "If not, come in." the husband. "SET IT GOING BY" "Of course not." OLLEY "What time did you say the clock stopped?" "At 5." "If you weren't up at 5," replied the man with a puzzled look, "how in thunder do you know when the clock stopped?" "Why, dear, it stayed stopped," was the reply. The man did not say an other word that morning. He Laughed Last. A certain lady who wished to have some fun at the expense of an agent who had oftimes solicited her to insure herself and family, asked him on one occasion if he would insure the cat. The agent, to the astonishment and no small amusement of those present, promptly offered to do so, provided she paid the first premium dwn. The lady, still thinking to honn him, expressed her willingness to do so, and placed a quarter on the table. The agent quickly produced a proposal, filled it in and obtained her signature while those present were on the tiptoe of expectancy as to what was to follow. "Now, madam, with your permission, may I see the cat?" "Certainly," she replied, at the same time pointing to a glass case which contained the stuffed remains of the poor defunct cat. A chorus of defensive laughter burst from all present, but to their dismay the agent turned, bowed politely, at the same time picking up the quarter, and exclaimed: "When that cat dies, madam, kindly call at our office and claim the insurance money. Good morning." Somewhat Doubtful A candidate for sheriff was going around among the voters soliciting their votes. He had a little book, with him in which he entered the names of the voters he interviewed and their politics. He came to one blunt, heavy jawed and big pisted man who evidently did not like him. "Well, Mr. Jones," said the candidate, "I suppose that I can count on your support at the election?" "Naw; you can't count on my support," said Jones. "I'd rather take poison than vote for a son of a gun like you." "From the way you talk," said the candidate, as he pulled out his book, "I reckon mebby I had better put you down as somewhat doubtful."—Kansas City Star. Delaware Goes to Wilson Column.

In the closing days of the first session of the Fifty-seventh congress Uncle Joe Cannon, then chairman of the appropriations committee, had vigorously attacked some provisions of the naval appropriation bill that had been inserted by the senate. Fliply he secured a vote in the house, instructing the conferences of the house not to recede on their disagreement to one particularly obnoxious provision. The matter was debated in conference for about three weeks. Finally the house conferences yielded in a minor particular to the senate and reported an agreement to the house. When this agreement was read and Mr. Cannon learned that the position of the house had been altered by the conferences he took the floor and in scathing language denounced the conferences for having, as he said, "betrayed the house." A vote was taken, and Mr. Cannou's position was sustained. Thereupon the speaker, Mr. Henderson, took the measure out of the hands of the member of the committee on naval affairs and appointed a new conference committee, consulting of Mr. Cannon (Uncle Joe), Mr. Moody of Massachusetts and Mr. Shaffroth. The following morning these conferences met the senate conferees, and after a statutory session of several hours' duration they found that they, too, would have to yield to the senate conferees in minor particular. They then reported an agreement to the house. As soon as it had been read the late Amon J. Cummings, who had been one of the original conferences, arose at his seat, and taking almost the exact words of Mr. Cannon—uttered the evening before—he told the members how they had been "betrayed" by their new conferences. Then, turning to Mr. Cannon, he said with withering acorn: "For three weeks the former conferences of the house fought the senate conference inch by inch. It was only when the members of this house began to appeal to us to reach an agreement in order that they might get away from the heat of Washington's summer that we finally yielded in a trifling matter." Then, shaking his finger at Mr. Cannon, who stood across the aisle from him, and raising his voice to a high pitch, he thundered: "But, sir, what did you do? You fell at the first shot; you dropped in the first ditch. Sir, you're misnamed. You're no cannon; you're a toy pistol." Everybody roared with laughter. The house promptly turned down the Cannon report and adopted the one that had been reflected the night before. Within three hours thereafter the session had adjourned sims die.—New York Sun. Justifiable ignorance. While crossing a city street a farger was knocked down by an automobile. Before he could get out of the way he was knocked down again by a motorcycle which came rushing along to behind. A friend of his on the sidewalk yelled to him, "Why didn't you get out of the way?" "How in the dickens did I know it had a colt?" was the angry response. Everybody's. Entirely Different. It was early morning in the quiet English village, and old Mr. Bell was industriously plying his hammer on a wooden contrivance under the kitchen window in the back yard when a neighbor called toquire' after his wife, who had not been well for some time. The old chap's reply, however, was RCB "I MORE THAT'ER COOGHIN'" drowned by some one in the house coughing very loudly. "Poor dear! I please that's 'er cough, in', ain't it?" eroded the sympathetic neighbor. "Na, na, na man," replied the aged toller, surveying his handwork proudly; "it 'aint a coffin.

"Why," the senator asked, looking at the inscriptions cut into the granite. "Do they have quotations from the Bible on the front walls of this station?"

To the west of the great Court of Honor at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition will come the Court of Four Seasons, one of the most elaborate and beautiful of the great interior courts that will lie between the huge exhibit palaces of the main group. The walls of the court will be partly formed by the palaces of Liberal Arts and of Education and by the two great wings of the Palace of Agriculture and partly by the classic colonnades and peristyles that will connect these buildings. The Court of Four Seasons, in classic Italian architecture, is designed by Mr. Henry Bacon of New York, designer of the Lincoln Memorial. In harmony with the title of the court there will, in each of its four corners, be set groups of statuary symbolical of the seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The sculpture will be set in niches screened by colonnades. Mural paintings, also suggestive of the seasons, will form the background for the setting. Mr. Jules Guerin, the noted artist, has charge of the color plan. The Court of Four Seasons will be 340 feet square. ```markdown ``` SERVICE BUILDING, FIRST STRUCTURE TO BE ERECTED BY THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION. BIDS have been let for the Service Building, the first structure to be erected upon the Panama-Pacific International Exposition site. The structure will be three stories in height and will be occupied by the exposition force during the building of the great fair. It will be 150 feet square with an interior court of 58 by 104 feet. The enclosing grounds will be picturesque with flowers, fountains and statuary. The first floor will be occupied by the auditor, treasurer, railroad exhibits, admissions and concessions, police, information, telegraph and emergency hospital departments; the second floor will be occupied by the architectural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering departments; the third floor will be used for blue printing, photograph and color studios. It is expected that the building will be completed by the first of the year. witting the crime, asked after the horse and was told that in the light he had acted badly, insisting upon taking his rider to the rear.

HOW TAFT HEARD THE NEWS Had Private Wires in Brother's Home in Cincinnati. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 6. — President Taft received the news of his defeat at the home of his brother, Charles P. Taft, on Pike street. A telegraph office was set apart in one of the rooms of the mansion, and as soon as the wires were opened bulletins telling of Governor Wilton's election and the Democratic landslide began pouring over the wires in rapid succession. Among the first bulletins was a report from Acushnet, Mass., showing that the president had carried that town, but by a considerably reduced majority over the figures of four years ago. A few minutes later came information that Wilson had carried New York and Massachusetts by large majorities. Next the announcement of State Chairman Barnes, of New York, congratulated New York to Governor Wilson tickered over the wires. After reading these bulletins Mr. Taft was practically convinced of the election of Governor Wilson to the presidency. With the president were his brother, Charles P. Taft and Mrs Charles P. Taft, Miss Louise Taft, Major Thomas L. Rhoades, the president's military side, and several personal friends. NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATIC Glives Wilson. About 60,000 Plurality Roosevelt: Running, Second Roosevelt Hunning Second. Trenton, N.J., Nov. 6-Returns from New Jersey, with many of the counties reported by a few voting divisions indicate that the home state, of the presi- dential elect has stood by him mos. loyal. From the returns a plurality of some- thing like 63,000 is indicated, with Roosevelt running second and Taft far behind. In Hudson county, of the Wilson strongholds, several thousand voters were unable to vote, a cause of a misapprehension of the citation law, but the county news has given the governor fully Gloucestershire. The Democrat seem to have carried 11 of the 12 congressional districts, and John J. Gardiner, in the Second, is probably beaten by J. T. Thompson Baker by 2500. In the First William J. Browning appears to have won, but there is doubt as to the election, with Colonel D. Stewart Crave Democrat, and Frank B. Jess, Roosevelt Progressive, running close. Camden county appears to have given Browning a plurality of but 1000, while Salem county has given Craven a large plurality and Gloucester is a stand-off. Congressman Thomas J. Scully, Democrat, appears to be re-elected by a safe plurality in the Third, and Allen B. Walsh, the Democratic candidate, in the Fourth. The Democrat appear to have won four of their six candidates for the senate, giving them a majority of one in that body, with the seven hold-over the superseeded.

Wilton Lackaye, the actor, once made a dramatization of "Les Miserables." He had spent much time on his work. The drainatization of the Huko masterpiece had been one of the dreams of his early youth. Truly, the completed drama was to the actor as a child he dearly loved. But when Mr. Lackaye tried to interest the theatrical capital in the production he found dearth of enthusiasm. Every one knew that Lackaye had dramatized "Les Miserables," and it was one of the live topics of Broadway. Oscar Hammerstein met Lackaye in this particular period, and his first question was: "Wilton, have you got a manager to produce 'Lee Miserables?' " And to this Lacknye sarcastically replied: "A manager, to produce it! I haven't found a manager that can pronounce it"—Kansas City Star. Nothing on earth is so relatable as a glamour film.

He says he takes this attitude because "William J. Bryan manipulated Champ Clark out of the nomination." A Speedy Recovery On one of the visits of the American fleet to English waters Admiral Erben was in command, with Captain Alfred T. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs, as his flag captain. One morning Captain Mahan came to his admiral with an invitation to dine with a duke which he had received. "I can't accept," said Captain Mahan, "us they forgot to invite you." "I should say you couldn't," growled the admiral. "I'll answer for you." Whereupon the admiral wrote: "Admiral Erben, United States navy, regrets that Captain Mahan, his flag captain, cannot accept the invitation of the Duke of Blank. Captain Mahan is on the sick list." An hour or so later a messenger from the duke returned with invitations for the admiral and the captain, whereupon the admiral wrote again: "Admiral Erben accepts with pleasure the invitation for Captain Mahan and himself. He wishes also to advise the Duke of Blank that he has taken Captain Mahan off the sick list." Result of the Chase John Burroughs is well known as one of the foremost of nature writers in this country. Some time ago he visited his brother, Eden Burroughs, who lived in the Catkills, at a place called Hobart. The two brothers went fox hunting together. The honor of the hunt came to Eden, who shot the only fox. It so happened that foxskins were worth about $5 at that time, and the successful Nimrod took, much pride in telling how he got the better of the stage of Sibsilden. Later, in boasting to a few friends about it in the presence of his brother, John, he was interrupted by: "You have bragged about that fox hunt long enough. You shot the狐; sold the skin and got $5. I wrote a little account of the hunt and got $75 from the magazine which published it. So there you are!" Four of a Kind Judge Isaac Russell, chief justice of the court of special sessions of New York city, undertook a private and unannounced tour of inspection among the various corrective and charitable institutions of his jurisdiction, says the Saturday Evening Post. Late in the afternoon he entered the outer office of one of the insane asylum. "I should like to make a trip through this place," he said to an undercover who chanced to be in sole charge of the office temporarily. "Visitors' days are Wednesdays and Saturday." said the keeper shortly, "and, besides, it's after hours." "But I insist on being shown through," said his honor. Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Well, you've got a nerve!" growled the keeper. "Who are you to be givin' me orders?" "I am Chief Justice Russell of the court of special sessions." was the answer. "That'll be about all." said the keeper wearily. "We've got three of you in here now. Why don't you call yourself George Washington? There's only one of him." Too Much Riding. A Kansas man who stutters badly visited Chicago and got into the elevator of one of the skyscrapers. He worked his jaw frantically, but could not get the elevator boy to understand what floor he wanted until he had been carried up fourteen stories above where he wanted to go. Then he came down to the lower floor and started up again. After he had gone through this performance several times he stepped out in 'disgust, and hunted up the man who was directing the running of the elevators. "B-say," he stammered, "w-w-w-w-would y-you m-mind speakin' t-o t-th-th that f-fel-feller in th-that cage?

A story is told of the late Dr. Peddie, a Scotch minister, to whom his congregation had presented a pupil robe. He had never worn a robe, and after acknowledging the gift he said he would wait in the vestry five minutes after service to hear any objectors to the innovation. Nobody appeared but one old lady, who, on being asked what her objections were, answered that she had read the epilates of St. Paul and could not find any reference to the apothete wearing a gown. "What epilate did you read?" asked the doctor. "From Romans to Hebrews." answered the old lady, "Well, Janet," said her minister. "I have read from Romans to Hebrews also, and I could never find any reference to the apothete wearing the bre克斯. What would you think if you saw me going into the pupil without bre克斯?" The old lady right there, and the minister wore the robe. HIGH GRADE JOB WORK In Fact Printing of All Kinds Executed Promptly.

HOW TO REMAIN YOUNG AND ALWAYS LOVELY. The fashion of framing the face in a halo of hair upheld by a pad is rapidly passing away, and hair conditions are constantly improving as a result of this change. Looking through the various magazines you will find that the illustrations all depict fair women with the hair dressed most simply and, as a rule, picturesequely. It is quite the mode now for one's locks to be dressed low unless this style is the reverse of becoming. Becoming strands of hair are drawn down almost to the eyebrows and over the tips of the ears. The remainder of the hair is arranged at the back of the head at as low a point as proves becoming. Paris are now just as popular with the girl of 1012 as they were with her grandmother in the days of long ago. Little rolls of hair worn back of the ears also are the fashion, although it is not every face to which this way of arranging the hair is becoming. PAPER BAG COOKERY. Many Different Kinds of Food May Be Prepared In This Way. There is no use denying the popularity of paper bag cooking, even if one were so inclined. It is practical, simple and attractive to all the housewives who have tried it. So many different kinds of food can be prepared in this way. Here are some dishes that will prove successful: Potatoes In a Paper Bag.—Stewed potatoes are a very savory dish cooked in a paper bag. Wash and peel as many potatoes as are wanted, cut each into four thick slices and put in a well greased paper bag, with one finely chopped peeled onion, one tablespoonful of finely chopped parley, two heaping tablespoonfuls of butter or drippings, salt and pepper to taste, half a cupful of water and one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce. In forty minutes turn this savory and delicious potato mixture into a very hot dish and serve at once. Mascotte Apples In Paper. — Take twelve large apples, as nearly the same size as possible. Pare thinly and remove the core with an apply corer. Roll the apples in a well beaten egg and then in plenty of sugar. Add a few drops of lemon extract to the beaten egg. Arrange the apples in a buffered paper bag and bake for half an hour in a moderately hot oven. When done all the center of each with a little strawberry jam. This is a most palatable dessert for lunch or dinner. A Good Definition. "Gent" is an abbreviation which has never been accepted by polite society, as a witness appearing before Justice Wightman once found to his cost. He was testifying to the excellent character of the defendant and among points in his favor remarked that he was "an independent gent." "An independent what?" interrupted Judge Wightman. "A gent, my lord," repeated the wit- ness. "Oh, I understand," replied the judge. "That's something short of a gentle- man, isn't it?"—London Chronicle. A Thirst For Knowledge.

Revenge For-Execution of Professor Ferrer Believed to Have Been Motive of Assassin, Who Killed Himself. Jose Canalefas y Mendes, premier of Spain, and one of the strongest characters in the Spanish government in recent years, was shot to death as OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. he was about to enter the ministry of the interior to attend a meeting of the cabinet in Madrid. The assassination was committed by Manuel Parulinas Serrato Martin, twenty-eight years old, of El Grado, province of Huerica, who recently came from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He fired three bullets from a revolver into the premier's head, and then, as he was arrested, turned the same weapon upon himself and committed suicide. Anarchistic literature was found on his clothing. Perrons nearby when the assassin shot Canalejas heard him say: "Thus I revenge my masters." From this it was deduced that he was a follower of Professor Francisco Ferrer, who was put to death several years ago following the suppression by the Canalejas government of the serious revolutionary outbreak at Barcelona. Canalejas was assassinated in the Puerta del Sol in front of a book stall near the entry to the ministry of the interior. The crime was witnessed by a large number of persons, but Mar The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text.

The a fassin sprang forward from the crowd as it to present a petition to the prime minister. A handkerchief concealed the revolver he had drawn from his pocket. As Canalejas turned his head Martin rapidly fired four shots. The first shot struck the provider behind the right ear, and as he fell two others struck him. The fourth bullet wont wild. Hystamors seized the assailant and handed him over to the police. It was then that he shot himself. Medical aid was summoned and soldiers were brought from nearby barracks to prevent the escape of any accomplices of the assassin who might be nearby. Although the physicians arrived within a few minutes, Canalejna was dead. In his hand he elapsed some papers which he had been carrying when shot. The first shot apparently had been fatal. News of the assassination spread rapidly and caused intense excitement. Immediate steps were taken to cap- ture any possible accomplices and to forestall a revolutionary outbreak. When King Alfonso heard of the death of the premier he is said to have wept with grief. In court circles the prevailing comment was that "Spain's strong man is dead." King Alfonso, who hurried out of the ministry as soon as he heard of the crime, was acclaimed by the people, who had quickly collected at the scene of the shooting. Cannabis had received many death threats. Because of the dangerous state of political unrest in Spain, the premier had been warned repeatedly to retain a personal guard, but he paid no attention to this injunction and frequently wont about unattended. The police believe that the assassination is the direct outcome of the execution of Professor Ferrer. It is their belief that the execution of Ferrer had so preyed upon Martin's mind that he decided to take vengeance into his own hands. Search for the assassin's clothing revealed archival documents which the police seized. It was later inti- mated that others would be involved in the crime. The quarters in which he was living were raided and a number of arrests made. CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL 210 E.
