Bryan's Chances Improving, i
Nine clays ago, Sunday, September
13, the New York Herald
presented a review of the race
for the presidency as it appeared
at that time. It then sum.
marized conditions as follows:
v
Total vote in electoral college ^
483; neccessarv to elect a presi- Q
/lonf 919- J?prmhlir?ftn reasonably ?
sure 206; Democratic reasonably e
sure 161; doubtful 116; Taft to ?
Win must get (doubtful votes) 1
81. P
a
That was on September 13. ?
The week which followed, last n
week, witnessed a radical improve- d
ment in the Democratic outlook,
according to the information ^
gathered by the Herald, no less y
than four States?Kansas, North
Dakota, Ohio and Oregon?which n
had heretofore been classed as It
almost surely Republican, now ^
being placed in the doubtful *
column. These four States cast
si
41 votes in the electoral college, p
The outlook as given by the d
Herald on Sunday, Septenber 20, U
was, therefore, as follows: Total Ci
TOtee in electoral college 483; ?
neoessary to elect a president
242; Republican reasonably sure 5,
165; Democratic reasonably sure d
161; doubtful 157; Republicans oj
to win must get (doubtful votes) ^
77; Democrats to win must get ^
(doubtful votes) 81 ?
Of course an election forecast
of this sort is worthy only the
alue which one chooses to at- 3
tacb to it. The Herald is 0
-1
3J
famous for its election pre- '
r ti
dictions, but the political u
situation at this stage of the 0
campaign may undergo a radical 1<
Change within a day. Neverthe- ^
less, Democrats may justly find D
encouragement in the outlook as
it is presented by the Herald, ^
Moreover, the Herald's corre- a
gpondent at political headquarters ?
in Chicago says that in the d
Republican camp conditions are 0
characterized by chill, nervous- *
Bess, inactivity, incapacity to get
together and a failure to realize 0
the necessity for work, while he h
describes the Democrats as being s
not only confident of success, c
hut united and active.
c
The Herald's list of doubtful ,
81
States cow includes the following: 8)
New York, with 39 votes in the
electoral college; Maryland, with ti
8; West Virginia, with 7; Indiana, &
with 15; Minnesota, with 11; a
South Dakota, with 4; Nebraska, ^
with 8; Colorado, with 5; Mon- g

In a nifty baseball battle, chai

Dakota druggists yesterday afteruoo
restled with the traveling men i

STOP SWEARING.
It Is Nothing but a Habit and it Very
Easily Cured.
"Don't swear or voull catch no
----- J
fish," was a.remark made the other :
day by a venerable inhabitant to a
much younger man who was emphasizing
his talk, by the use 6i
some rather strong expletives. No
one was engaged in fishing at the
time, nor was a piscatorial excursion
being thought of. The suggestion
was made in the back room :
of a cigar store, where three or four
men were talking over current
events, and the utterance made by
the aged citizen was intended, as he
afterward said, to show his abhorrence
of the nonsensical use of
"cuss words." Then he felt called
upon to deliver a little homily to
bis companions, all of whom, like i
himself, are well known residents of Washington.
''Men incur habits," he said, ,
"that are really useless, and, in my ;
opinion, swearing is one of the
worst of them. One can see why, ;
in moments of passion or great excitement,
a person may indulge in :
swearing, but that some men, and I
know several of them, should break
out with a series of oaths in ordinary
everyday conversation strikes
me as beyond reasoiv
"I presume we hare all met men
who regard themselves and are so
considered as gentlemen who rarely
express a sentence without i
swearing. More than that, they \
seem rather proud of their proficiency
in this direction. I tell you
that swearing -is a habit that a little
Jetennination will easily overcome/'
The 6ermon, coming from the
lips of a man whose bair and long :
heard were as white aj snow, had
i good effect. The cigar merchant
waa so impressed that he declared
he would bang up a sign in his
hack room which should read,
'Gentlemen Are Requested Not to
Swear on These Premises." Whether
they allowed themselves the privilege
of "cussing" elsewhere, he
said, was no affair of his.?Wa6hIno+nn

A successful schoolteacher married
a wealthy widower. The man
had lived alone with his servants
since the death of his first wife. On
the morning after the bride's arrival
in her new home the cook appeared
for orders. Now, the little
Foman was far more familiar with
the classics than with roasts and
itews, and she was not a little dismayed
when Mary innocently put
the question:
"An' how will ye have the beef
looked, mum?" fl
For the merest instant she hesi- >
tated. Not for a fortune'would she I
have th e old servant suspect her ab- r
solute ignorance of cookery. Bat /
tier years in the schoolroom had not y
tieen in vain. Calmly and sweetly S
ihe answered: \
'Tou may cook it your way to- C
lay, Mary, and then another time r
pou can try my way." ?
