In 1908 ho was only seventeen electoral votes out of tho way, and In 1904 only twenty-two. In April of tho present yenr before a single stato had indicated a preferonco for tho nominee, lib closed an analysis of tho political situation, undor tho heading, "Nobody for Hughes but the People," with tho positive prediction that "Rightly or wrongly, wisely or not, tho will of tho people will prevail nnd Charles Evans Hughes win bo tho next repub lican candldato for president of tho United States." In tho North Ameri can Review published yesterday, Col onel Hnryoy predicts tho election of Hughes as certain. He predicts that Hughes will carry California, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massa chusetts, Michigan, Mlnnesotn, Now Hampshire, Now Jersey, Now Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhodo Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington and Wyoming. These twenty-three states have 2G9 electoral votes, or three more than necessary to elect. Ho expects that Hughes will carry Indlanla and Wlsoonsln, tho former with 15 and tho latter with 13 votes, KNEW HOW TO HANDLE MULES I Drivers In the Civil War Had Their Own Methods, and They Wero Eminently Successful.

Hughes can afford to lose Illinois if he can win in Ohjo and Delaware, or he can lose New Jersey if lie wins in Indiana. In studying tho possible vote, the) chances of Hughes election appear to be twenty-five per cent better than Wilson. , : :: : The Boy mid the Lamb; North Platte, Nobr., October 27, 191G.

The to divide the sheep Into two flocks, and the younger brother was to have tho first choice. Tho older brother attended to the division, and placed all of the scabby and Inferior sheep into one di vision, but put the pot lamb with them; thinking of course, that his half witted brother would choose the flock with the pot lamb, The younger brother saw his pet li-mb which he desired so much, but he noted the scabby and Inferior sheep ho was 'with; he put his arm? around the lamb's neck and said, "I have loved you slnco tho spring morn ing I found you by tho Bide of your drad mother; it Is hard to part with you, but you are with the scabby doors woro of puncheons or rough slabs fastened together with wooden pins.

They fail to stato that of the SI. 10 paid to the non-resident company, there is only thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the balance seventy-five cents being taken for interest.
