OYSTERS, OYSTERS! RAW, RAW, RAW! DON'T EAT 'EM. Look not upon the festive oyster with greedy eyes, but rather take a squint at him through a microscope, for the scientists say that the things araw oyster will do to you are enough to put an able bodied man out of commission. Of course there, are good raw oysters, and in fact most of tnem are good, but they do not always keep good company and for that reason they should be treated as suspicious characters and at the shghtest provocation, their vote should be challenged. To properly 1nspect a raw oyster * place your thumb and fore finger under the fourth rib just below the right knuckle and look him in the eye as you ask these questions: Did you come from a clean bed? Did you travel first class? In other words, were you shipped properly? Has your dealer given you a bath in ice water that is slso & fayorite ren- dezyous of bacilli and other vicious companions? If the oyster convinces you that he is entitled to a hero medal from the pure food commission, be may properly be looked upon as & fit sub- ject fcr home consumption, It is scarcely necessary to add that oysters which have the odor of a doubtful reputation should npot be included on any well regulated bill of fare, If any doubt still clings to the mind of a person, hungering for a member of the tempting bivalve family, as to the proper means of making them safe and sane, we have but to add, “Cook ‘em. THE BALLOT ERROR. At first glance the ommission of the name ot Roy Bliler from tbe printed election bal- lot today suggests grave complica- i tions, but an analysis of the unforu- Inate mistake shows the errorin a less serious light. Mr. Bliler was the regular nominee of the Republican party and as such, jaccording to law, his name should have appeared on the ticket with the remainder of the candidates. Through an oversight, this name was not placed on the ticket, We quote from the general elect- ion laws of Minnesota: “Sec. 340, DEFECTIVE BALLOTS— Whenever in any contested election the tribunal hearing the countest {shall determine that the ballots used in any district, by reason of the omissfon, addition, misplacing, mis- spelling or misstatement of one or more titles of offices, names of candi- dates, or parties or policies repre- sented by them, were so defective as to the office in contest as to be calculated to mislead the voters in regard to any of the candidates for said office, and that the defective condition of said ballots may have affected the result of the entire election for such office, the election shall be declared invalid as to said office.” This, it would seem, assures Mr. Bliler the right to declare the elec- tion, so far as the office of county suveyor is concerned, illegal, This, howzver, probably will not be necessary as, up to the opening of the polls this morning he had no known opposition, and it is likely his election will be made certain by voters writing his name on the ballot. ‘The quest'on has com eup that a defeated candidate might raise the point that the entire election was illegal because of the Bliler omis- sion but there appears no legal back- ing for such a hope. ] WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY Wore Hobble Skirt; Missed Car. Now that the hobble skirt is firmly estalished, this dire piece of news brings a sigh of despair from the depths of the souls of women who cannot afford to change their gowns every little while! One St. Paul woman goes so far asto say that Paris modistes are simply laughing at those guileless souls who believed them when they said the skirts must not be much more than one yard round. Several St. Paul girls have taker the hobble quite seriously, and the other day one of them had to let a street car go by because the step was 8o high she could not get her foot up to it in skirt she wore,— St. Paul Pioneer Press. Blame the Editor. Blame the editor if there is a mis- spelled word in the paper, Blame the editor if he omits ‘the news item about yourself you did not tell him about, Blame the editor if he does not read your mind and keep boosting your hobby, Blame the editor for every omis- sion, never thank him for a boost, Blame the editor for every blasted, blooming thing that goes wrong.

Blame the editor for what he says and for what he does not say.—Mc- Intosh Times. Why He is Called "Pussyfoot.” W, E, “Pussyfoot” Johnson spe- cial agent of the government who has figured so much in the inforce- ment of the Indian treaty of 1854 forbidding the sale of liquor on cer- Iuin lands in the northern part of the state, refuses to comment on how he acquired his feline nickname. A friend who becsme quite intimately acquainted with Jobnson during his Indian territory campaign volunteer- ed the story which follows: “After four officers bad been killed in Johnson’s efforts to clean up the federal law violators, the special offi- cer received a message, the sender threatening to shoot him on sight. The message was signed and came from one of the worst gun men in that section. The day following the receipts of the letter Johnson chang- ed his makeup and rode into the town where the would-be bad man owned a poolroom. Walking up to the bar he perceived that his man was armed with two grim looking 30 caliber Colts, Johnson purchased some drinks and in a short time per- suaded the proprietor to step down to the end of the bar and shake a game of dice. The moment the man was off his guard Jobnson sneaked up behind him, took both pistols from tbeir holsters and arrest- ed him with his own firearms, “Next day the Muskogee Phoenix published a long story of the arrest referring to Johnsou’s catlike move. ments is crawling up to bis man, Since then he has always been koown in the southern section of the United States as Pussyfoot Johnson.” —Minneapolis Tribune.

Washington, Nov. $.—President Taft | Wisconsin and Wyoming. and his advisers are looking forward with keen expectancy to the election results. Ballots will be cast In every state in the Union. Governors will be named in twenty-eight states and in thirty states legislatures will be elect ed that will be called upon to fill that number of vacancies to be created by expirations of terms in the United States senate on March 4, 1811, The adminfstration may come out of the election with credit, even if the Repub- licans Jose the house, President Taft would be very happy if his home state of Ohfo were saved for the party. Fac tional troubles jeopardize Republican success in New York, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and otmer states. All forccasts made %o far give the house to the Democrats by majorfties ranging from one to forty-five. As administration leaders here view the situation the Republicans will ip all probability lose New York and In- diuna, with only a fighting chance for suceess in Ohjo, If the Democratic claims are real- ized, the hold of the Republicans on the senate will be weakened and this would mesn that the Republcans would have 10 put up a more deter- mined struggle two years hence to prevent that body being captured by the opposition, May Have Bearing on 1912, ‘The results of the coming elections may project themselves into presi- dential politics of 1912.
