Chicago still has a “bear” chance of winning the World’s series. Oh, you Cubs! Only three weeks until election and the campaign remains as quiet as a pair of rubber heels. DesMoines has a Pie Eating club. It should amalgamate with the Un- smiling Order of Dyspeptics.

A force of six men are snowbound at the head of Fish lake in Clear- water county, Mcntana. They must hold their elections early in Montana Thousands of persons who bad taken an oath never to swear again marched in a parade in Pittsburg, and its pretty hard not to be able to swear—in Pittsburg. It may have been the plans for a picnic or some woman’s new fall bonnet, but whoever or whatever it was that started the rain deserves an unanimous vote of thanks. After having held the office con- packer will dliost undoubtedly be re-elected. \ ““In Minnesota, Sidney Aunderson, who defeated Representative Tawney at the primaries, may have some difficulty in securing the “‘stand pat” vote, and there is little doubt of the re-election of Representative Ham- mond (Democrat) in the. 2nd Dis- trict; otherwise the State. delegation is not likely to be changed. “In Iowa, the result is doubtful in the 1st and 2nd Districts, repre- seated at present by stand-pat Re- publicans, and in Representative Kendall’s District, the 6th. In the 8th District, a Republican will quite surely take the place of Representa- tive Jamieson (Democrat) and Re- presentative Smith will have a hard fight for re-election in spite of a con- siderable normal Republican majority. In Missouri, the present Republi- can representatives in the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th Districts are likely to-be replaced by Democrats. “In Wisconsin no changes are probable, although Representative Cary will have a somewhat hard fight for re-election, with the chances in his favor. 2 “One of the most interesting pheromena disclosed by our investi- gation is the large number of stal- wart Cannon Republicans who have ‘seen a great light,’ and are either openly or surreptitiously annovnciog to their constituents that they will never again vote for ‘the old man.’ Of course, nothing in politics is more certain than that Speaker Cannon will never again secure any consider- able measure of party support. for a renomination to the Speakership, and, knowing this, many of his pres. ent supporters undoubtedly feel that they are entirely safe in giving this pledge.” tinuously for 54 years, County Clerk Cyrus Crum of Nyack, New York at the age af 86, is on the stump seeking re-election. Cy can hardly be accused of not being familiar with the duties of the office. There were 253 wood-pulp mills | in operation during 1909 in the United States as against 251 in 1908. The consumption of pulp wood in these mills in 1909 was 4,002,000 cords as against 3,347,000 cords the year before. There is a decided de- crease in the highest priced pulp wood, viz. spruce. There has been a slight decrease in hemlock and in- creases in balsam, white fir and several hard woods heretofore little used as pulp material. The increase in cost of pulp wood is shown by the statement that the total consumption in 1909, though exceeding that of 1907 by less than 40,000 cords, cost over $2,000,000 more.

The citizens of that progressive place will meet to- night to take action looking to the sending of relief to the Minnesota fire sufferers of Baudette and Spooner. That is fine, but it is just like New Richmond.—Stillwater Gazette. The Wisdom of Cats. Stray cats are frequent visitors at country printing offices, and only of late has it been discovered that their mission there was to look over the newspaper files and ascertain if there was any grocer in town who didn’t advertise.}:bat they might be assured PUBLICANS MAY CONTROL CONGRESS. From observations based on confidential information as to poli- tical conditions in each of the 391 congressional districts of the United Srtates, received from 15,000 members of the auxiliary editorial board of life subscribers of ths Succsss magazine, Edward E. Higgins today makes public a forecast as to the complexion of the next Congress, His deduction, which by cour- tesy of the Success the Pioneer is permitted to publish, is that the next house of representatives will be almost exactly in even balance, with the probabilities slightly in favor of a republican majority of two or three, ¢but,” he says, ‘it is impossible to predict with cer- tainty which of the two parties will organize the house.” He continues: “There will be a large increase in the democratic membership, but there will be no democratic landslide. *The extraordinary closeness of thiis coming contest is shown by our prediction that 168 districts will certainly be represented by demo- crats and that 21 more will probably be democratic; giving & total reas- onably sure democratic membership of 189; while the republican -party will certainly elect 160 members and probably will elect 29 more, giving a reasonably sure total of 189—exactly the same number. “There are thirteen districts in the country in which thirteen dis- tricts in the country in which there is so even a balance of probabilities that we can not possibly predict the result, without resorting- to mere guesswork. b “Political conditions in Indiana are pretty chaotic. Senator Beveridge will have a strong support among the Democrats. Representatives Barnard, Korbly, Morrison and Rauch will have very hard fights for re-election.

If Pine River folks ever had a chance to boost a laudable propo- sition it is before them now. The recent reorganization of the band should meet with hearty approval from every citizen and not one opportunity should be overlooked to help makeit a success.—Pine River Sentinel, Killing Two Evils With One Crusade. The renewal of the crusade against spitting on the sidewalks and in other public places in Minne- apolis has been declared. The loafers whose main activity is to gather on street corners and ex- pectorate will also receive their share of attention and be made to move on and carry their saliva along with them or submit to arrest. Thus will two of the annoy- ing nuisances of that city be eradicated. Other cities of smaller size might judiciously follow the example set by Minneapolis.—Little Falls Transcript. Created a New Word. It was the third Earl Spencer who added a word to the language in conse- quence of a wager. The bet was that by cutting off the tail part of his over- coat he could bring into fashion over- coats so short that the skirts of the undercoat would show beneath. He won his wager, and “spencer” became the name both of that garment and of the feminine one afterward construct- ed in its likeness. The peerage has added more than one name to the terminology of costume. Ever¥body knows *‘Wellingtons,” and the billy- cock hat is said by some to be really “Billy Coke,” from Coke of Norfolk, earl of Leicester. -But noné of these examples in the sphere of clothes rivals what the Earl of Sandwich did when be contrived the slice of meat between bread as a device to enable him to go on gambling ‘without leaving off for a meal.—London Chronicle. 5 Puzzied the Packer. The fitst organized work of women In a relief corps was led by Floreuce Nightingale in the Crimean .war of -1855. So unaccustomed were people to that service at the time that it called out some curious comment. Writing of *“‘Chinese” Gordon, Dr. ‘Butler telis in his book. “Ten Great aund Good Men,” bow the boys at Cambridge met the call upon them for. hospital stores. One day’aletter came suddenly from the war office telling us that any warm clothes for the iuvalids at Scutari would be prized by Miss Florence Nightingale. At once in every college a committee was extemporized of lead- ing undergraduates, charged to collect presents of flannel jackets, trousers. “blazers,” rugs, greatcoats, furs, even sealskins. In a few hours box after box was filled with these treasures, and all the boxes were kindly and gratuitously packed for us by the leading upholster- er of the town, his foreman simply re- marking to me In a tone which General Gordon would have enjoyed: “A nice consignment for a lady, sir.” Cause of Twilight. Twilight Is a phenomenon caused by atmospheric refraction. When the sun gets below the horizon we are not im- mediately plunged into the darkness of night. Although the sun is below our horizon, rays of solar light are bent or refracted by the terrestrial atmosphere and continue to furnish some slight {llumination. The process continues with diminishing intensity until the sun is so far below the horizon that the refracting power of the atmos- phere is no longer able to bend the rays enough to produce a visible ef- fect. The time after sunset that the sun reaches such a position varies with the latitude of the place. There is less twilight at the tropic zone than at the temperate or frigid zone. This Is due to less time taken by the sun’s rays to pass through the atmosphere, at the tropic zone the sun’s rays being per- pendicular and at the temperate and frigid zones oblique.—~New York Amer- fean. With a Grain of Salt. The earliest record of the saying “with a grain of salt” dates back to the year 63 B. C.. when the great Pompey entered the palace of Mithridates and discovered among his private papers the description of an antidote against poisons of all sorts. which was com- posed of pounded herbs. These, ac- cording to the recipe, were to be taken with a grain of salt. Whether this was meant seriously or as a warning sarcasm is not known, but thenceforth it became the custom to say that doubtful preparations should be taken with a grain of salt. From this the meaning got transferred to sayings of doubtful truth. “Attic salt” was a Greek synonym for wit or penetration, and the Latin word “sal” had some- what of the same meaning. It is thus easy to see how the saying “cum grano salis” could have come to mean the necessity of accepting doubtful or suspicious statements “with a grain of salt.” Molokai and the Lepers. The general idea of the leper settle- ment on the island of Molokai is wrong, says a writer in Harpers Weekly. Instead of the entire island being used for the leper colohy the set- tlement comprises only eight square miles out of a total area of 261 square miles. It occupies a tongue of land on the northern side of Molokal. The north, east and west shores of this tiny spit are washed by the Pacific, while on the south side rise precipitous cliffs of from 1,800 to 4,000 feet, which make the isolation seem even more hopeless than the beautiful deep blue waters of the sea ever could. The most difficult and dangerous trail, con- stantly manned by government guards, foils escape, if it were ever contem- plated, by the land side. Stupid Husband of a Noted Singer. Catalani’s husband, a handsome Frenchman, was even more unintel- lectual than his wife—he was stupid. Once, having found the pitch of the piano too high, she said after the re- hearsal to her husband: “The piano is too high. Will you see that it is made lower before the concert?” When the evening came Catalani was annoyed to find that the piano had not been altered. Her husband sent for the car- penter, who declared that he had saw- ed off two inches from each leg, as he had been ordered to do. “Surely it can’t be too high now, my dear,” sald the stupid husband soothingly. Through the Cracks. When the celebrated divine Edward Irving was oo a preaching tour in Scotland two Dumfries men of decid- ed opinions went to hear him. When they left the hall one said to the other: “Well, Willie, what do you think?’ “Oh.” sald the other contemptuously, “the man’s cracked!” The first speaker laid a quiet hand on his shoulder. “WIill,” said he, “you’ll often see & light peeping through a crack.” A Poor Player.

My back was extremely painful, especially when I stooped and ached so in- intensely at night that I could not get my proper rest. I had dizzy spells and often after . stooping,| my sight was blurred.
