HISTORY OF PAST CLOSE RAC ES FOR PRESIDENCY There have been four previous pres-i idential elections in which the vote was extremely close and the result of which was for a considerable time in doubt. Two of these have occurred since the country attained large size and since telegraphic facilities be came general. In the election of 1800 Thomas Jef ferson and Aaron Burr obtained an equal number of electoral votes, and the choice of a president was thrown into the house of representatives and Jefferson chosen on the thirty-sixth ballot. Another close contest was when a small plurality in New Y'ork state de cided the presidency in favor of James K. Polk and against Henry Clay. In 1876 accurred the famous Hayes- Tilden contest. The first returns in dicated the election of Samuel J. Til den, democratic nominee, but in three of the southern states—South Caro lina, Florida and Louisiana, where “carpet-bag” governments still re mained, two sets of returns were sent in, one favoring Hayes and one for । Tilden.

Oregon, with three electoral votes । also sent in double returns, one giving all three votes to Hayes, the other giving Hayes two and Tilden one. To accept the latter result would give । Tilden 185, and Hayes even with the । three southern states, only 181. The house was democratic and the । senate republican, and the houses । ■ould not agree on a manner of count ng the vote. The partisan feeling ■ hraughout the country became so in- 1 tense alarm was felt for the peace of the nation. The contest was settled in 'avor of Hayes by a commission ap pointed to decide the matter. In subsequent elections. New Y’ork and Indiana became known as the two ' pivotal states, and it was believed that i i candidate who lost both of them i ould lie successful. The vote of New Y’ork decided the I •xtremely dose election of 1884, when . Gruver Cleveland and James G . Blaine were the opposing candidates. The early returns were favorable to Blaine, just as they were favorable to Hughes in the recent contest. In this election the vote was close in Connec ticut, New Jersey and New Y'ork, all <>f which went to Cleveland by small ‘ pluralities. Since that time no close election , has occurred until the present.—St. Ijouis Post-Dispatch. — ELECTION ODDITIES. First town in the country to turn in complete returns was New Ashland. Mass.

The reason we nre rearing children is lteear.se we want to have some grandchildren when we are old. And we want our children to be poor, so the grandchildren will appreciate the nickels we will give them. We want one granddaughter four years old, with blue eyes and a blue parunol. We want her to think we are the greatest person In the whole world. We would he di»ap|>ointe<! If -he thought anything less of us than this. And when we are going to take her to town we want her to feel just a little “stuck up” and say to the other children in tb« neighborhood: "1 can’t play today. I'm going to town with grandpa.” When we reach town we want her to ask the world's wisest person many questions, ami we will answer every one of them. Not once will we disap point the child by saying we don’t know. As we go along the street we will hold her hand real tight, so there will not be the least danger of losing her. We will buy her some Ice cream that she can eat downtow n and B*me candy to take home. Os course her mother will tell her site mustn't eat candy while she has on that pretty white dress. While we are in town her mother will be uneasy. She will be afraid we can't look after the child properly, but she will be mistaken. We will watch her closer than her parents would. In fact, we will think more of her than her parents will, and if they ever dare mistreat her they will hear from us. When the child Is tired we will leave town, and when we reach home we will fee! proud that we have returned her safe and sound. We will listen while she tells her mother all about the trip, and now and then we will re mind her of something she has forgot ten. Time certainly does pass slowly. We wish we were already old.—Fort Worth Star-Telegram. TOO MUCH FOR BILL POSTER Really Could Not Bring Himself to Patting the Advertisement* Upside Down. The tailor believed in advertising. In order to make his latest posters count for the uttermost he ordered the bill poster to stick them on walls and fence* upside down. Next morning he took an early walk to view the results, and was indignant when he found his bills |H>sted richtside up. He forth with visited the bill poster. “Didn't I tell you to put those bills upside down?” he «afd. “What rtn yon means by dlsreganling my orders?" The bill poster replied ; “My point is this: I understood your orders, but after you had gone I had It out with myself. ’You’ve suffered enough through misconception regarding beer.’ I say* to myself. ’Some people.' I says, 'treats you as if btsT was the alm and object of your life nnd you had never l>een sober. Bnt.’ I says, the rals<-on ceptlon you already suffer under ain't a patch to whut you'll lay yourself open to if you put the bottoms of them bills where their tops ought to be.' And It ain't, either. And I couldßt do IL really I couldn't.” The tailor got the bill poster’s point of view. Fishe* With Lantern*. Among the most remarkable fishes nre those provided with lanterns of their own and which swim in the dark recesses of the bottom of the deep ocean where no ray <rf natural light from above can penetrate, say* the Popular Science Monthly. A model of one of these fishes, notable for its phosphorescent organs, is on exhibition in the Vnited States National museum. The aKh'S of the fish are dotted nt reg ular Interval* with luminous spots. In addition there is u large luminous areu like a lantern on the top of the hetul In the model the luminous spots oa the sides are represented by buttons of glass connected with the interior by tabes. The luminous protuberance on the head was modeled In gelatin and then tinted. When in actual op eration the model is connected with electric current »o that a distinct glow appearing in the side strata and the frontal “lantern” produces a very strik ing and. it is believed by fish expvrta. a quite accurate representation of the appearance of a living phosphorescent deep-aea fish. The model is atraut a foot long. Cocktail* Fatal to Digestion. Begin dinner with soup, ••spet ially If you are tired or weak. Even the hors d'oeuvrea are condemned by the best physicians. And a* for cocktail or the sherry and hitters Just befon the meal, that is fatal to good diges tion.

BUNYAN AND HIS GREAT WORK ■ 'Pilgrim'* Progre**" Wil Flr»t Printed 1 About a Decade Before the Author'* Death. The first edition of "The Pilgrim's j ’ Progress" was printed in 1678, Just a • decade before the death of the author, lolin Bunyau. who bretßhed his Inst in the home of a London grocer 228 years igo. The first edition was "Printed for । Nath. Ponder, ut the Peacock in the 1 j Poultry, 1678," and n second edition was necessary the same year. Ten | Millions were printisi before Bunyau I lied, and the book enjoyed a huge I ■aqiulurity among the lowly und huiu •le of Englund und Scotland, but was t -neensl ut by the educated ciaas**. J Bunyan was very proud of the fact J phat his work was greatly admired by ! New Englanders and by the French I Huguenots. For more than a century ' ‘Pilgrim's Progress" hull no standing r In literary circles. “All the numerous i editions," said Macaulay, "were evt- . lently meant for the cottage nnd the ' । iervants' hall, ns the paper, the print- j 1 ng and the plates were of the mean j est description." In his youth Bunyan '! aus n tinker, and fur from pious. It |.s recorded that u wouum. whose cirnr- I ii ter wus such as to make her an nu ' i 'hority on profm.lty. declared that he was “the ungodliest fMlow for swear- I ng she hud ever beard in all her life. | md that It made her tremble to hear Jim." —Exchange.

As much of this money as possible ! should stay in the state and be kept I safe in some bank, to lie cheeked out i when necessary to pay our merchants i when needed articles are bought. In | ' most country districts the farmer is , i paid for his crop in check*, goes to the I (rank to cash his check, pays his note. I>erhaps. and rqgries off the balance in j ‘-ash; or. if he does not owe the bank | j anything, too often draws the whole । amount of his check in cash With I this money in his pocket or at home. , he may be an easy prey. The folly of pursuing this course j has been sadly brought home to num- I bers of citizens in every section of the | -tate this fall. i If our farmers, and every wage । earner, would deny themselves that ' which they could do without for a time, at least, and make a practice of placing their funds in some bank, and et aside n certain sum as a sacred savings fund to be used only in dire necessity, the crop mortgage would soon disappear, and the burden of lebt earned by so many wiped out.
