Until the constitutional amendment of 1804 the president and the vice pres- ident were yoted for on the same bal- lot, the man' with the second highest number of votes becoming vice presi- dent. The presidential electors have not always been chosen by popular vote, Before 1800 it was the general cus- tom for the state legislatures to choose the electors, and it was not until 1828 that presidential electors were chosen in nearly all the states by popular vote. As late as 1876 the Colorado legislature chose the three presidential electors to represent that state. There Is nothing in the constitution to prevent any state legislature naming Its own electors without appeal to the people provided such a method of election is prescribed by the state laws, From 1800 to 1824 presidential can- didates were chosen by the members of congress in caucus. In 1824 the electoral college failed to make a cholce from the candidates so submitted, and €l Matter Went to the house OF repre- sentatives. Four years later Tennes- ‘see’s legislature nominated Andrew Jackson without any reference to the congressional caucus, His opponent, John Quincy Adams, was nominated in the old way, but that was the end of presidential nominations by congres- slonal caucus, QGathered Him In. “You look very much exclted, dear,” he sald when she entered the parlor ‘where he was walting for her, “Well, I should think I ought to look excited,” she answered. “I've just had the most awful argument with ma.” And'she began to weep hysterically. “Why, what is the matter, my dar- Mog?” he Inquired as he slid an arm around her waist and endeavored to soothe her, “What was the argument?” “Oh, how can 1 tell you? She sald you were only trifling with me and that you would never propose, and | told her she did you a great injustice, for I belleved that you would_propose tonight; Bhe sald you wouidn't, and T sald you would, and we had it hot and heavy. Dear George, you will not let ma triumph over me, will you?” “W-why, certainly not,” answered George, “I knew it, my darling,” the dear _glrl exclaimed; “come, let us go to ma and tell her how much mistaken she was.” And they did, and ma didn’t seem to be very much broken down over the affalr, after all.

Two Harbors, Minn,, June 13.—For- est fires are raging nearly all along the line of the Duluth and Iron Range railroad north of here and between here and Knife river. At Waldo, three miles north, many settlers barsy saved their homes, a dozen men of the railroad company aiding them in keeping back -the flames. Bad fires are reported near Fairbanks, north of here, and at Mile- ville, near which is the A. B. Smith big lumber camp, which was threat- ened. The wind is blowing from the north- east and the timber is dry and burns flercely. Bad fires are reported in the vicinity of Mesaba. The railroad com- pany has men out all along the line fighting the flames. Many Buildings Destroyed. ‘When the Aurora fire department had succeeded in checking forest fires at the Knox location all the buildings had burned except the mine shaft and the boiler house. The forest fires which menaced the buildings of the location were started by sparks from the steam shovel at the Adriatic mine. The mine build- ings, the dry office, storehouse, ma- chine shop, blacksmith shop and other small buildings used for power and supplies were destroyed. . The flames leaped the creek and swept the residence section, destroy- ing twelve of the thirteen new houses recently built by the mining company. Many of the families lost most of their household effects, while single men lost everything except the clothes they wore. VESSEY'S PLURALITY 3,000 Returns in South Dakota Primary Nearly Compiete.

Taft, accompanied-by her sis- ter, Mrs. James Laughlin of Pittsburg, boarded the big freighter James. Laughlin at Ashtabula, O., for a trip to Duluth and return in the interest of Mrs. Taft’s health. President Taft is facilitating the complete recovery of his wife by en- couraging her to be in the fresh air as much as possible and to take short trips for that purpose. This was tha reason for the voyage to Duluth. Behind a Tree. Two old backwoodsmen had a dls. || pute over a line fence that became a feud that nothing but bloodshed would settle, They agreed to take thelr squir- rel rifles, go out into the woods, stand thirty’ paces apart and fire at the count of three until one or the_other or both were killed. They went out to the woods. Presently one of the com- batants came back, dragging his gun and very indignant, “That there man is a coward!” he shouted. *He’s a coward, and he don’t fight fair. When we stood up thar and the count began he jumped behlnd a tree at the word two. He don’t fight fair. - Think of his gittin’ behind a tree.”” “Well,” asked a listener, “what dld you do?” “Why,” said the indignant one, “what could 1. do? You see, his gittin' behind a tree just naturally throwed me behind a tree too"—Saturday T. J. Crane & GCo. Women's and Children’s Ready-to-wear Garments Bemidji Minn June Clearance Sale T. J.
