ditional returns from a majority of the
counties Indicate a victory for ex-Oovernor

victory.
He left this afternoon for his home In

remain open. At Clarke's headquarters It
Is declared the conteat Is settled In Clarke's
favor, the only question being as to the
size of the majority. There are about ten
counties which cannot be beard from yet
owing to no wire connection. Partial re
turns tend to show that Jones has lost How
and and Navada counties, adjoining his
home county. He haa lost Union and
Ouachita counties, both In south Arkansas.

that he la satisfied with the reports re

from forty-three counties, twenty-seven of
which have been carried by him. Of the
remaining number they expect Senator

Thus Far the Canadian Finds Ko
Cause to Rearrct tha Step.
There are on record many Instances of
hasty marriages, but as far as heard from
a Canadian Immigrant holds the prlxe. Ho
tells the story of his courtship himself.
"When I arrived at the boarding house in
Newcastle, N. B.," he says, "I found my
self sitting next to a young woman at sup

newly arrived Immigrants. I looked her
over and saw a round, strong, cheery lass
with a laughlngJCace, and thought she'd do.
I did not know how to go about getting ber
Interested in mo, but Just spoko a word or
two with her and when we came out Into
the passage I squeezed her hand and gave
her a klas.
"Sayo she, 'How dare you?' Says I, 1
want to marry you, my dear.' "Marry me?'
she says laughing, 'why, I don't know you.'
'No more do I you, my dear, say I, 'so
that makes It all fair and even.' She didn't
know how to put a stopper on that, so she
only laughed and said she could not think
of It. 'Not think of H says I, artful like.
'not when you've come all those thousands
of miles for ths purpose?'
" 'What do you- mean?' says she, starting.
'Come, now,' says L 'Don't tell me. I
know what's what. When a man emigrates
it's to get work; when a woman emigrates
ita to get married. You may as well admtt
It at once.'
"Well, she protested and held off a bit, but
we were married two days after and I
guess neither of us have been sorry for It
since. You see It was my knowing tbe
ways of the sex so well that enabled me to
rush things through as I did. Nothing like
understanding 'em when It comes to court
ship saves time and trouble no end."
FATTENING A MOORISH BRIDE.-
Quaint Preparations for the Weddlna-
Celebratloa.
The moment a Moorish maiden Is en
gaged It Is the bounden duty of her parents
to fatten her up like a lamb for sacrifice.
And this is where man Intervenes to thwart
the plans of nature. . The male Is generally
slim, wiry, sinewy, all bone, muscles and
thews, and he likes his mate to be as com
plete a contrast to himself as possible, says
an exchange.
So she has to train for It, and persevere
until she becomes a woman of four dimen
sions, an unwleldly bolster of solid flesh,
wherein (he soul is entombed forever. Every
morning she takes the soft part of hSsr
wheaten bread and rolls It Into long round
pieces about twice the length of her little
finger and of the girth of her thumb.
After each meal she eats three or four
of these, gradually Increasing the dose. At
first, while the spirit Is willing and the flesh
still weak, she Is allowed to wash them down
with milk or green tea. Later on liquids
are tabooed. Most girls manage in time
to put away fifty or sixty of these aids to
obesity every day. By the time the wedding
day comes around ths brides have wholly
lost their sllmness, and after a few years
they have irretrievably forfeited tho female
form divine, and resemblo bugs sacks of
down.
Ons of these ladles having emigrated to
Spain, her friends there had to have a hugs
crescent hewn out of the dinner table to
