i BRYAN LANDSLIDE. fidently Claimed That Democratic romiuee Will Get 301 Electoral Votes?Sure of Doubtful States. 3\v York, Oct. 24.?National rman Mack authorized a statet today in which he claimed the ion of Win. J. Bryan by a landi. Mr. Mack announced that his rts showed that Mr. Bryan would ive at least 301 electoral votes or nore than is necessary for a ce, Mr. Mack's forecast of the ion foliosvs: rhe rumblings and thunder of the in landslide in the West are aly hoard in the Eastern States, today I can confidently predict elect ion of Mr. Bryan. The land' in the west will extend to the es of the Atlantic. It means the ocratic national tickets will carry y doubtful State in this section, in rockribbed Republican klis wfBlcts, t lie majorities of that party in Jgracent years will be reduced to a minimum. Basing my forecast on the ?raaos{ conservative lines in view of the jfoptiinist ic reports I have received Kp'om all sections of the country. I l&igurc that Mr. Bryan will have at nfeast HOI electoral votes, or 50 more Kthan is necessary for choice. This Comfortable majority will be increasB|d rather tlian decreased when the Htfdc is counted. ^V"In addition to the 100 votes of He Solid South?and in this I inKHjdc Maryland?T am confident that BH. Bryan will carry New York, New H^B'scy, Connecticut, Idaho, Montana. H^fcorado, Nebraska, Nevada, Indiana, i|iWio, Delaware, Kansas and South SBBcola?a total of 301 votes. All Bjfla' the country there is a change of |Vio 50 per cent, from the Roosevelt P^otc of 1004 to Mr. Bryan. JSnS|[<Tlie result is no longer in doubt fw$~' Now York. The 3D votes of t he mB$|ate are assured for Mr. Brvan. lie *111 win by a substantial plurality. Mjuhe empire State can no longer be ^included in that territory called the Rft^emv's country. T speak from inirarormation gained from a thorough K^?nvass and reports from every coun'n "1(1 psi I,'' From Connecticut 1 have received KJ?ry encouraging reports.

A chance shot had apparently broken its back, paralyzing its legs, but leaving it still strength enough to fly a certain distance. Trained hunter as ho was, the boy watched the wounded bird, and marked the exact spot where it finally dropped just at the edge of a cornfield a half mile away. "I think I'll go after it," said the youth. "Nonsense," said Luther. "It's a half-mile away, and you have all you want without it." "But the bird is wounded. I hate to have it lie out there and suffer." "Oh, it's probably dead; or if it isn't, some skunk or weasel will kill it tonight. Come along." It was nearly sunset, and the youth was tired after the long tramp of the day. It would be a long trip over to the cornfield for weary legs?and (hen perhaps to find the bird dead. .iiireaay it was supper lime at borne, and lie had a hunter's appetite. So lie allowed himself to be over persuaded and the two tramped homeward. Hut the grouse that had fallen over in the cornfield was not dead. Nor, as it ehaneed, was its wound of a kind to produce speedy death. The injury did, however, render the bird utterly helpless. Once it had dropped to the earth, it could not rise again. Nor could ii move about on the ground for its legs were paralyzed completely. It lay on the bare earth, sheltered by the cornstalks from the eyes of hawks, and where there was not much danger that a marauding beast would find it. Hut there was no food at hand. Tt was doubtful even whether t he bird would be able to sip a few drops of dew from a cornstalk to quench the thirst that its wound must develop. Quite obviously fate had marked the grouse for a lingering death of lorture. Its wound, already painful, must become more so with the lapse of lime. Insects would come in phalanxes to pester it. Hunger and (hirst would add their modicum of agony. The -jreatesi mercy it could hope for would be the coming of some skunk or weasel, as the hunfer had -u'.;'.'' sled, to put it out of misery.

Dr. \V.lli;.ins describes tlin church service ibo following Sunday morning, and I lie awakening <?f' the boy's mind Id fear tlial In* wounded grouse might not have died all these days, and he goes on: ''The youth's -o;il was undergoing development in ll.at half hour.* lie was making one of those short euts from point ??T view l<> point of view, lie was passing (little as he realized it) from the barbarian-hunler stage to a plane of broader sympathies. ''All through the lesson he sat brooding the same thoughts, and as he left the cliureli the idea of the wounded bird had taken full possession of his mind. Instead ?>f going home, he set out for the field where lie had shot the grouse. He believed he might find the bird even yet. At least he would try. "A good memory and a keen eye enabled him to go about the point of the field from which the grouse had flushed; and over by the cornfield lie noted the exact point (marked by a peculiar fence post) where the wounded bird had gone down. IIo WAIlf /lil'nof lv f A if on/1 Ko/1 cm* ..V..V %|.I vvtij IU IV, (UIU llrtM oiiiIll UIJ entered I he cornfield when his dog came to a point. There ahead on the ground lay the bird stretched at full length. It made 110 effort to escape as lie came up. It was too near death to fear him or anything, its eves half closed, its hill agape, as it feehlv gas perl for breath. "In an instant the youth was on his knees beside the bird, a great lump in his throat, his eyes staring as if they would start from their sockets. The meaning of it all came to him with the force of a blow. Mechanically he brushed away the insects that gathered about the wound in the bird's back. lie stroked the 'soiled plumage tenderly, lie found himself calculating the hours that the grouse had lain there suffering. It happened Wednesday and this was Siiin!:> v?t wen I y-four, forty-eight, ! seventy-two, about ninety hours; yes, fully niuetv. What a cruel stretch of (oi*ture! The youth recalled an occasion when he had had a toothache for two hours that had seemed interminable; but the meaning of that ninety hours of pain came home to him yet more vividly. In an agony of remorse he knelt there, thinking, thinking, lie closed his eyes, and when he opened them, a few minutes later, the grouse had ceased to breathe. "The youth rose suddenly and walked to the verge of the cornfield, lie selected a spot in a fence corner, and began to iliir a hole. The ground was hard, and lie had nothing but his knife adn a piece of stick to aid him; but he persevered the more stubbornly as his fingers became sore from digging. When I lie grave was deep enough, the youth wont after the body of the grouso and took it up very tenderly, as if so much of suffering had given it sacredness. lie laid the poor tiling carefully in the ground, smoothing its every feather. Then he resolutely scooped in the dirt till the grave was filled. "It was a thoughtful youth who walked slowly homeward across (he fields that autumn day. lie was asking himself what right he had to inflict such suffering as that. What manner of friend to the birds was he that could wish only to kill them? What pleasure could he get in future in shooting always with the possibility of re-enacting the tragedy of the cornfield? "Long before lie reached home the youth had made up his mind, lie knew that lie should never shoot his gun again. He had entered a new phase of life. The desire to kill was no longer strong in him. The instinct of the hunter had left him forever." ?Appletou's Magazine. THE STATE FAIR. The Southern Railway Will Run Special Trains 011 Wednesday aiul Thursday Fair Week.
