EBERHART PLURALITY GROWING Minnesota Governor Wins by 75,000, COUNTY OPTION BEATEN Democrats Fail to Secure “Dry” Vote for Their Ticket. REPUBLICANS GET WISCONSIN Socialist Victory in Milwaukee Feature of Election. St. Paul, Nov. 10.—The plurality of Governor Eberhart, Republican can- didate for re-election, over James Gray, Democrat, continues to increase and may reach 75,000. Every county in the state, or at least all but one ac- cording to present returns, gave a majority for the Republican can- didate. The hope of the Democrats that they would secure the county option vote proved to be groundless. Coun- ty option strongholds like Otter Tail, Lac qui Parle, Yellow Medicine, Nor- man and Sherburne counties were caught in the rush and went to Eber- hart. The big Democratic counties, on the contrary, deserted their candidate and gave majorities to the lican candidate. Fred W. Johnson, Democrat, made a remarkable race for secretary of state, running far ahead of his ticket in many places throughout the state. All the other Republican candidates won by neat majorities. Congressional Results. Sidney Anderson of Lanesboro wiil be the only new member of the Minne- sota delegation in the next congress, as all of the eight members who were candidates for re-election were victo- rious. W. S. Hammond, in the Second district, the lone Democrat in the last delegation, had the closest run, but re- turns indicate his election by about 3,000 over Franklin Ellsworth, his Re- publican opponent. In the Fourth district Congressman Stevens secured re-election over his Democratic by opponent close to 5,000, while in the Fifth Frank M. Nye, Republican, had less than 2,000 plu- Tality. In the Eighth Miller won by a big majority and in the Third, Sixth, Seventh and Ninth districts there was a0 opposition to the present incum- bents. Mayor James C. Haynes, Democrat, was re-elected chief executive of Min- neapolis over W. E. Satterlee, with a plurality of forty-four votes; Thomas Van Lear, Socialist candidate, running but 1,000 votes behind Haynes. VICTORY FOR THE SOCIALISTS Elect Congressional and County Tick- ets at Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Nov. 10.-~The Social Democratic party achieved a note- worthy victory here by electing Victor L. Berger to represent Wisconsin in the national congress from the Fifth district. Berger will have the distinc- tion of being the first Social Democrat to sit in congress. In addition to this they swept Mil- waukee county, ticket from top to .bottom by plurali- ties ranging from 3,000 to 7,000. Added to this the Socialists elected thirteen members to the legislature, -one senator and twelve assemblymen from Milwaukee county. The Repub- licans elected a La Follette legislature and their -entire state ticket. Francis E. McGovern, Republican governor- elect, has ‘a plurality -estimated at 60, 000. Charles H. Crownhart of Superior, the independent Republican who en- tered the contest for attorney general at the solicitation of the state central committee was defeated. Eight Republican congressmen, one Democrat (the Sixth district), one So- cial-Democrat (the Fifth) were elected. BEVERIDGE STILL HOPEFUL Refuses to Concede His Defeat for the Senate. Indianapolis, Nov. 10.—Whether Al- bert J. Beveridge shall be returned to the United States senate from Indiana or shall be succeeded by John W. Kern is still a question. Leaders of both the Republican and Democratie parties claim the legislature by a small majority on joint ballot. That the Democratic state ticket has been elected is not doubted, but esti- mates of the plurality range from 6,000 to 30,000. Repub- | electing their county | Little Pitchers. 3 In a certain small town there are two young women whose favorite oc- cupation has been to discuss the af- fairs of their neighbors. Having met for that purpose one afternoon. they found themselves blocked in the in- dulgence of their pastime by the pres- ence of the small daugbter of the hostess. A slight indisposition of some sort prevented sending the child out of doors, so they were forced to put up with her presence, doing their best. however, to nullify it. Something eatable was produced and an absorbing new game invented which she could play quite by berself, so they hreathed freely and began. The talk at length reached a point involving the latest scandal of the neighborhood and the retailing of some inside information which must not become public property. A burried look at the child on the floor found her apparently so occupied with her game that it seemed quite safe to go on if one observed a decent discretion. Voices were accordingly lowered and direct allusion veiled, but when the matter had been thrashed out to their satisfaction the child raised her eyes and remarked with deliberation and emphasis: “I hear, I know, I understand, and I'll blab!”"—New York Times. Books and Their Care. Books on shelves way be seriously injured if packed too tightly. When quickly pulled out for use. the top of the book is likely to come off. More- over, the constant pressure, if too great, will loosen the whole back in time and the friction in putting upon and taking from the shelf mars the covers. On the other hand, a reason- able amount of lateral pressure is necessary. If placed on the shelves too loosely the leaves tend to .pen and admit dust, dampness and conse- quent mildew. In the case of heavy volumes the weight of the leaves will be found resting on the shelves if the books are placed too loosely. This is lkely to make the backs concave. Badly painted shelves are another source of injury to books. Care should be taken when paint or varnish is used that the surface is perfectly smooth, hard and dry when the books are put in place and that the surface will re- main so during variation of tempera- ture or humidity.—House Beautiful. An Anecdote of Pope. There is au old anecdote of Alexan- der I’ope concerning one of the old watermen who were employed for many years in rowing Pope on the Thames. Pope was in the habit of having his sedan chair lifted into the punt. If the weather was fine he let down the glasses; if cold he pulled them up. He would sometimes say to the waterman: “John, I am going to repeat some verses. Talke care to remember them the next time I go out.” When that time came Pope would say: “John. where are the verses I told you of *1 have forgotten them, sir.” “John, you are a blockhead. write them down for you." John said that no one thought of saying when speaking of him, *Mr. Pope.” but that he was always called “Mr. Alexander.” 1 must The Original Encyclopedia. The first real encyclopedia was Pliny’s *Natural History.” This work was an extensive one, numbering some thirty-seven volumes and dealing with all the then known facts of the world. Pliny. who died A. D. 79. collected the 1duta for his work in his leisure inter- vals while engaged in public affairs. The *“Natural History” was for its time an amazing production, treated of some 20.000 facts and was of very high au- thority throughout the entire middle ages. Forty-three editions of the work were printed hefore the year 1536. and no scholar’s library was considered complete without it.—New York Amer- ican. Wakeful Night. A rather imaginative Washington lady decided she had insomnia. She couldn't sleep, she said. One morn- ing she was more than usually de- pressed. “What's the matter, dear?" asked the husband. **Another sleepless night?" “Worse than that,”” she . replied gloomily. *I did manage to drop off to sleep, and 1 dreamed all“the time I was asleep that I was awake.”—Phil- adelphia Saturday Evening Post. Made the Rhyme. “Carpet” rhymes with no single word, but some bold poet dared to evade the difficulty thus: “Sweet maid of: the inn, ’tis surely no sin to toast such a beautiful bar pet; believe me, my dear, your feet would appear at home on a nobleman’s carpet.”—London Answers. Cynical. “The course of true love doesn’t al- ways run smooth,” sighed the young widow, “That’s right,” rejoined the old bach- elor. *“Sometimes it ends in mar- riage.”—Chicago News. Many Meanings. . Traveler—Some expressions in the Chinese language have as many as forty different meanings. Little Miss—Same way in English. “You amaze me. Mention one.” “Not at home.” The beloved of the Almighty are the rich who have the humility of the poor and the poor who have the magnanim- ity of the rich.—Saadi. ———_ Hit Him Coming and Going. An attorney went to a livery stable and hired a team for two or three hours and at the end of that time, in a state of absentmindedness, left the team at another livery stable, where it remained eight days. At stable No. 1 there was no worry about the team. They knew the attorney was perfectly good for the pay. They knew that if be kept the team a month the bill would be paid promptly on presenta- tion. They presumed that he knew what be was about and concinded it was his business and not theirs. At stable No. 2 there was equal treedom from anxiety. ‘I'he attorney came there, left the team and went away. saying nothing. They put the horse into a stall and “chalked it down” on the office slate, knowing him to be a business man who paid cash. Discov- ery came at last, and the lawyer was presented with two bills, one for eight days' hire and the other for eight days’ keep. He paid both bills promptly. but it cured him of being absentmind ed for nearly a whole month. The Coffee Cup In Persia. The expression “to give a cup of coffee” has in Persia a somewhat omi- nous significance, fact that the coffee cup is one recog- nized medium for conveying poison Some years ago the governor of Aspa- dana, bhaving long been at daggers drawn with the chief of a powerful mountain tribe, determined in this way to put an end to all trouble. He professed to entertain a great degree of friendship and esteem for the chief- tain and invited him te visit him at his palace. The chief unsuspiciously came, accompanied by his two young sons. For a week they were royally enter. tained. Rut at last one morning when the chief came into his bost’s presence he was coldly received. and an attend | ant soon stepped forward with a single | cup of coffee in his hand. shich he of- fered to the guest. The latter could not fail to understand that he was doomed. [P'referring. however. steel to poison. he declined the cup and was | thereupon. at a signal from m; host. stabhed to death. Salad of the Shoes. Freshmen bave troubles the world This is due to the | fup. but what we give up, over. - The. “conscrits,” as they ave called at the famous Eeole Polytech- nique in Paris. are subjected to an amusing initiation called the salad of shoes, The freshmen report some days before the upper class men so that they can receive their uniforms ‘and become familiar with the routine of the school. ‘The first morning aftee their tormentors return the freshien are aroused by a demaud that they throw their shoes out of the windows into the courtyard. The shoes are gathered into a beap. and. kneeling in a big circle around this. the fresh- men are oblized to go through some ridiculous gymnastic movements at the command of their superiors. When the study bell rings they have but a minute to appear in the class rooms, and it is a strenuous minute around that pile of shoes. Tennyson Disturbed. This story is told iv Robert H. Sher- : ard's book “My.['riends the French: “A granddaughter of Wordsworth, being full ot admiration for the young poet who wus to succeed her grand- father in laureate houors, was once taken to see Mr. Tennyson by Mrs. Taylor, the wife of another poet ot some distinction. Tennyson received them very badly, showing great irri tation at being disturbed. and when Mrs. Taylor rallied bim on his mannei be said: ‘Madam, I am a poor mau, and as I can’t afford fo bug (he Times I hire it from the staiioner’s. He charges me a peuny for it. which enti- tles me to keep it for an hour. Why will people al select just that hour to come and call upon me? After which be flung out of the room, teav- ing Mrs. Tennyson to apologize for his brusquerie.” In this world it is not what we take that makes us rich. Beecher.
