Those were happy days, and then he thought of what other days might be if he could but muster the courage to speak to Eva, provided, of course, that she would say “yes” to his pleadings, of which he felt not at all certain. “The new way is better for me after all,” he said, half aloud, “for 1 am afraid the goodies would run out of the hole in that toe,” and he glanced at the protruding mem- ber which had worked its way through the silk sock, and which had not yet been cov- ered by either slipper or shoe. The young man had been in a quandary for most of the year that was closing. Like many another of his kind he had loved, he feared unwisely but too well. True the girl of his choice had never intimated that his attentions were anything but the most ac- ceptable, indeed’she had even encouraged them so far as she could with propriety. But the young man had not the taint of conceit that is necessary sometimes to make such encouragement plain to him. Time and again he had determined to end the misery by having his fate decided and know once for all whether she was to be his or not, but as often had his courage given way before the words were spoken. He thought of these things, and of what a wonderful Christmas present Eva could make him if she only would. It was while his thoughts were engaged in this way that the maid brought him the package containing the pretty calendar. As he opened it he wondered who could have sent such an elaborate affair, hand painted, with the little monthly calendars, two on each page, and around them pretty bunches of bachelor buttons and scenes from a bache- lor’s life, and at the bottom of each page an appropriate little verse. The little verse on the first page attracted his attention and he stopped to read it be fore turning the next. It was: is Chairman Rosing’s statement: “Having received reports from every county in the state, and _practi- cally every precinct, from the same men who reported the situation to me in 1898, which enabled me to claim the state for Mr. Lind just previous to election by a majority of 20,000, which came within ‘250 of the actual results on election day, Iam now ready to give an estimate of the results of the. coming election. “In the beginning of the campaign, none of us had much hope that Mr. Bryan would be able to carry Miane- sota, This condition of mind was natural, because for forty years the state has always given its electoral vote to the Republican candidate tor president, but now as the, campaign is drawing to a close and after careful canvass, I feel justified in claiming that the state 1s very close on the presidential ticket with the probabili- ties slightly in favor of Mr. Bryan. After careful investigation of the so- called silent vote, I believe that a large proportion of it wili be polled for the Democratic national ticket; practical- ly one third of the voters of the state have not expressed themselves, open- ly, one way or the other, but the above conclusions are drawn from private investigation as to the feelings of many of these men. “Governor Lind’s re-eleclion is abso- lutely assured by a majority of not less than 22,000, and which 1s_hable to reach 26,000 or 27,000, He. is stronger with the people than ever before and gains strength daily in the cities as well as in the country dis- tricts. Hennepin county will give Governor Lind a majority of 4,000, and there are .indications that his majority may teach 6,000 in that county. Ramsey’s majority — for Governor Lind will be at least 2,500. ‘The body of the ticket will run per- haps stronger than Bryan. ‘This is particularly true of the candidates for railroad and warehouse commissioners, who will be elected by a safe majonty. “The congressional situation 1s very encouraging for the Democrats in the state, even in the Fnst district, the banner Republican district of the state, the Republican congressman is mak- ing the fight ot his hfe for re-election, with the odds in favor of his oppon- ent, the Democratic nominee. We claim absolutely two congressmen, with prospects of four.” +04 In 1884 Cleveland was elected. The October odds against him were 3 te 1. In 1888 Harrison was elected. The October odds against him were 21% to 1. In 1892 Cleveland was elected. ‘The October odds against him were 2% togto 1. “Is there any reason” asks the Duluth Herald “why voters should be affected by the state of the betting market?” “The year is young, I will not hurry, Why should a bachelor want to marry, Maids are many and maids are fair, And bargaingare promised us everywhere.” “The year is indeed young,” he mused, “but just now is the time to begin a new life. How Tw wish I could. Why, indeed, should a bachelor want to marry? Why should a man want to go to Heaven? Who but a fool would not want to marty if he had the op- portunity of getting as sweet a little woman as Eva? Maids may be many, but maids like Eva are not. Who could have sent this cal- endar, anyway?” He turned the page to the next verse, and read: “The bells a peal are ringing, hark! Go straight and what they tell you mark, If they say ‘yes’ wed and be blest, If. ‘no’—do as you think best.” “The bells say ‘yes’ to me, but to wed and be .blest is another matter. How quick I should wed if I could but ask and get Eva, and I would certainly be blest if 1 did.” He turned another page, and read the next verse. It was: “With a chaffing dish we can cook our food. The laundry takes care of our washing, But.oh, for a self sewing needle and thread, To mend the big hole in our stocking.” “What helpless creatures we men are, any- way. Women are an absolute necessity to us. . That hole in my sock would not be there if I was a benedict instead ofa bachelor. Eva would never permit such things, I am sure. A man must save a large amount in a year by having an economical wife such as i am sure Eva would be. I wonder who could have sent me this thing, anyway?” Another page was turned and here there were but two lines of verse. They were: “See these worn clothes hanging on the line, Where’s the girl to. take a stitch and save the other nine.” “Tt would take more than one stitch to save my clothes from complete ruination. The-laundry is playing havoe with them. That is but another one of the many ways in which a man with a wife would save money, as well as the possibility of always looking decent. I tell you a wife is an ab- solute necessity to a man these days. My clothes are in a worse condition, if possible, than the ones the artist has pictured here, but that would be changed if I had Eva. I wonder if my courage will never reach that point where I can ask her to be mine? Another page, the next to the last, was turned over, and on it he found: “He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small, That dares not put it to the touch, To gain or lose it all.” “That’s me exactly. It must have been writtem especially for my benefit. ‘He either fears his fate too much, ’ that’s me. Iam so afraid she might say ‘no’ that I dare not try to win at all. And then I guess my deserts are small besides when I compare them with Eva’s worth. Whoever sent me this did me a ne for I am going to muster up the wegen sarge to stake all and try to But when? Thatisa question that is ‘iard to answer. I have been saying the sam: thing for almost a year, and still I hesitate.’ He turned to the last page on which he found a surprise. There was a picture in ee colors of Eva and below it just two ines: “A dream of the girl who might have been ——-+9+ ——_ NEARLY every. prominent office- holder who is anappointee of Presi- dent McKinley has been on the stump for him at one time or another dunng the present campaign. Even United States Marshal Grimshaw of Minne- sota, has been called into service. President Harrison ‘established the rule that no federal office holder should be allowed to leave his post for electioneering purposes, a precedent that was followed all along by. Cleve- land. But McKinley cannot be induc- fed to do hkewise. He realizes that, he needs‘all the aid that 1t'1s_ possible to force into requisition. —_+0+—___ WituiAM J. BRYAN sent the follow- |! ing dispatch from Dunkirk, N. Y., upon the request of the editor of the Minneapolis Times for a statement as to how he found conditions there; “My trip through New York state has been an excéedingly satisfactory one. The meetings everywhere have been mark- ed by large attendance, deep interest and enthusiasm. The New York city and Brooklyn meetings were especial- ly gratifying. - That the party has ‘made immense gains since 1896 is admitted by the Republicans. If reports which come from’ the various counties where polls have been made ‘| can be taken as representing the gen- eral dep ivine throughout the State | pose, mine, Had I but spoken the word in time.” “Did Eva send me that? I don’t think she did, but if she did what did she mean. But one thing is sure 1 am not going to lose that girl by not speaking the word in time. I'll speak it to-night, even if 1 fail. And he did, and the Christmas bachelor is to be a benedict ina month. But he has he intimated that it might have come from bons to sooth her injured feelings.
