were at the national headquarters part
OF the day, After his busy day was
over Mr.. Hanna said to a representative
OF the United Associated Presses:
Il am very proud of my Chicago

which went to hear Mr. Bryan in New

This Horse Plays the Harmonium.
In his eyes, he begins again, and rights
the wrong. Sometimes the British
mind refuses to believe that a horse,
even Of the Alpha breed, actually
"does sums;;" one suspects some hid
den trick by which the trainer causes
his horse to make certain signs that
look like the result Of thought. But,
whether or not his trainer employs
these artistic means, the result is
certainly most striking, and if trick
there be, it is concealed in a most mar
yellous way.
Alpha also plays the harmonium. and
his rendering of "God Save the Queen"
on an enormous key board is a start
ling performance, and more correct
than in many other cases. The clever
creature also selects letters from the.

underestimated. The taste of the hus-
band, the taste Of the lover, of the in

has always to be deferred and sub
mitted to, and in each and every case
is acknowledged to be superior to that
possessed by his fair subject. The Sc

due to the fact that the masculine eye
sees and judges from the effect pro-.

often distracted by the choice Of color,
material, trimming and style offered;
and when and where natural good
taste does exist it is frequently domin-

by self-lnterest, and thus good judg-

Again, the desire. to confine expense

Short Lives of Presidents.

Snort Lives of Presidents.
From some recent life insurance sta
tistics it appears that the presidential
Office is a fatal one.
At Washington's Inauguration his
expectation of life, according to the in
surance tables, was sixteen years, but
he lived only ten years. The next sew!
en- presidents not only lived out their
expectation of life, but the two Adams?
es, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van
Buren, and Tyler exceeded it.
But Harrison fell nine years short of
his expectation Of life, Polk seventeen,
Taylor eleven, Pierce seven, Lincoln
sixteen, Johnson twenty-five, Grant
seven, Hayes three, Garfield twenty;
two, and Arthur fifteen. It is true that
Lincoln. and Garfield were assassinated,
but the assassination of president
should always be taken into account as
a possibility.
Our first eight presidents exceeded
their expectation of life forty-fve years
in the aggregate, while their success
ors fell 10 years short. This may
seem strange when it is recollect-
ed that the length of human life has
steadily increased during the century.
The compiler Of these statistics sug-
gests an explanation. He says:
'"The fact seems plain to me that the
presidential Office is becoming too
heavy burden for any man to assume
without almost certain shortening OF
his life. The responsibility is so great,
the tension so destructive, that never
again expect to see president survive
the full period of his natural expecta,
tion." {. 5 &

all the sights, they struck up an ac-
quaintance with two of the performers.
They becoming infatuated with

a circus life decided to run
away with them. Adas aunt had
loaned her a watch This she gave to
one of the men to pawn. He succeed
ed in getting So on the watch, and with
this they started out to do the town.
Before the circus left here the girls
packed their clothes and were just
about making their escape when the
police got wind of the affair, and the
quartet was apprehended. The men
escaped and the two girls were taken
to the station house, where their
mothers took them home this morn
ing.none the worse for their frolic. Ada
