The two last named were sailors attached to the U. S. S. Florida, now at anchorage in the Hudson River. Their death is said to have been accidental. When Edward Willing ton, the lanlord, detected the odor of gas, he knocked on their room door, but failed to get an answer. He then crawled through a transom into tho room and found that gas was flowing from a hose which had become discon? nected from the heater it fed.

Oracles of Rockland County At Odds on Next President Woman Pastor Says 12thChapter of RevelationPoints to Harding as Winner, but Astrologer Declares Stars Tell Him Cox Would Make Good Executive 8p*Mai IHspatoh te The TK?Vun# NTACK, N. Y? Oct. 81.?Rockland County is ?11 confuted an to the elec? tion this year ?nd probably won't be able to tell the result for sure until Wednesday morning's newspapers are I distributed. Folks around Nyack, rely j ing on the prophecies of the Rev. Clara , AVolverton (?ates, pastor of Christ ! Church of the Clouds here, were corn ' fortably convinced?or uncomfortably, i according to their politics?that Sen . ator Harding- and the whole Republican ! ticket were going to he elected. j Then, to-day, along came Frank P. i Schwalm, who reads the stars up at ? Spring Valley, with a delphic pro ! nouncement which made a lot of people doubt whether the Rev. Clara hud read the omens aright. Frank didn't como, right out and say that Governor Cox ! was going to be elected, but lie did say ; the stars had fixed it so he'd be a '? mighty line sort of a President. Rockland County oracles having got ' mixed that way neither side feels so sure as it did of victory, and folks that ; have telephones are planning to sit up j till 11 o'clock Tuesday night if they ? have to in order to get tho news straight from some newspaper office ' in New York. "?* Stars and Bible at Odds The Rev. Clara, although she is a '] leader of a religious sect that is found j ed on a phase of astrology, didn't j bother with stars in looking for elec? tion signs. She got lier information ! direct from the Bible, and a good many of the niorp conservative people are in l c?nod ?o Dunk that she is more to be relied upon than Frank, and in proof 1 of it they remind the youngsters how ?much lutter Daniel was at reading - signs than nl! the astrologers and i magicians and sorcerers that answered Nebuchadnezzar's advertisements. Frank's supporters say lie wouldn't ! have anything to do with Nebuchadnez? zar: that he isn't that kind of an as-1 trologer and that, anyhow, the stars are older than the Bible, because it tells about them right in the start of Gene-! sis. On just one point all are in agree? ment; that is, that it all depends whether the Rev. Clara read the Rible right or Frank read tho stars right. The situation has added n lot of inter? est to election around here. The Rev. Clara found her signs in the twelfth chapter of the Rook of Revelation. It tells there about a woman getting an eagle's wings so as to escape from a dragon, and as everybody knows and has been saying for months, the ?'lection is going to depend on the wom? en's vote, so, the Rev. Clara says, there you are. Day of Eagle and F.lephnnt "The day of the ass is past and the eagle and el? hunt bands," said the ? Rev. Clara, referring by "elephant i bands" to certain cloud formations so j liesignnted by Christ Church of the Clouds, "are far more significant. This may be interpreted as favorable to ? he Republican candidates." Mr. Schwalm asserted that this in? terpretation was all wrong. He didn't venture upon a prophecy, but he j pointed out that Governor Cox was I born under the sign Aries, and so were ; Henry Clav, ('liarles E, Hughes, Chaun cey M. Depew, J. P. Morgan and Thomas ?lefferson. "People born under that sign are usually good executives," said Pro? fessor Schwalm. "They are leaders and naturally dominate those about, them They are noble, generous, mag? netic, progressive, and have great oc? cult powers. They are good scholar? and great talkers. They should not be circumscribed in giving out their true work of genius. If the people vote right they will have a second Thomas Jefferson in the White House." ! N.Y.IJ.

Bedtime Stories Chatterer Discovers a Stranger By Thornton W, Burgess Say what you will it doesn't pay To let your temper get away. ?Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Chatterer has told this to himself ?time and again and then has forgotten it the very first time he has been pro- < voked. Some people are that way. It was his temper which led him to try to get even with R?ster Bear. Now once more he had found that trying to get 'even doesn't pay any more than allow? ing temper to get away. If he hadn't leen trying to get even with Buster Bear he wouldn't have been tempted to steal that blistering, stinging root from Buster, and if h<- bada'; stolen that ? root he wouldn't now be sitting in a cer? tain big hemlock tree in a lonely part of the Green Forest nursing a sore : mouth and listening to the. harsh voice of Sammy Jay in the distance, Sammy ?lay's voice didn't make Chat 1 terer fee! any better. He knew just, j what Sammy was doing. He was telling 1 everybody lie met just what had hap? pened, for Sammy had seen the whole ! affair. Sammy has no love for Chatterer and Chatterer knew just how delighted ! Sammy was to have such a story to tell. And he knew, too, that all who heard tin story would chuckle over it and be glad that it had happened. You see, j Chatterer had few real friends. Mis? chief makers seldom have. .So Chatterer sal in the big hemlock tree and sulked and nursed his sore mouth, and pitied himself for being so ni .-?rabie, and blamed Buster Rear for all his troubles and actually seemed to enjoy feeling cross, ugly and spiteful.
