It now appears that 134,011 electors | of St. Louis voted for candidates of | jthe Democratic or Republican party \for Supreme Court at the election. That is just 1,066 fewer than voted \for Taft and Bryan in 1908. With ‘practically the same aggregate vote each year the Democrats lost 6,281 | votes and the Republicans gained '5,215. So the way the Republican ;majority of 13,242 in 1908 became 24,739 in 1910 is quite simple—mathe- | matically at least if not politically. | But does anybody really believe there | has been such an upheaval politically | in St. Louis, while the rest of Mis- souri and all the country outside of | Missouri has been upheaving the oth- er way about?—Republic.

The reptile is very lange, being six feet in length. The colored population gives it a wide berth. In the days of slav- ery in the south when a slave escap- ed capture, it was given out on the plantation that he had been devouted by crocodiles and a great dread of the saurians was thus created among the negroes. This fear seems to survive in the race, hence they will not ap- proach very close to Mr. Mitchell's pet.—-Osceola Democrat.
