a friend named George Murphy, spent to-
day in Washington, drinking until late in
the afternoon, when they started for a
disreputable portion of the city.
They finally reached the northwest Sec

effort. and persisted in ringing the door,

until finally Gen. Greedy came out to ex-
postulate with them.
Thrown Downstairs.
They refused to leave the house, and
after some words Furnace seized the
general and threw him down the long
flight Of steps which ascend from the
pavement to the house, which stands on
high terrace. The fall cut a severe

He was picked up and taken into the
house and medical aid was summoned. He
remained unconscious for about an hour.
Murphy took no part in the assault, but

act. He was arrested.

Man and His Smoke.

Every little while you read that a
man 96 years old and still hale and
hearty has smoked all his life, but it
is nevertheless fact that smoking is
very injurious. Men should be ashamed
that they are unable to quit the habit.
This is not written by a man who has
no desire to smoke, but by a man who
smokes a great deal, has tried several
times to quit and couldn't do it.
When you find boy who is pale and
sick from his first smoke, remember
that his father and his grandfather
are to blame. 1t will take thousands
Of years to reform the world if we be-
gin now. A boy is as certain to look
for pipe. as he is to look for sweet
heart. His father was guilty Of both
offenses before him.-Atchison Globe.

to be considered. For instance, q float

must be able to stand a dash of rain.
It must be light enough to go over any
kind Of street and solid enough to re-
sist a gust of wind, and, most impor-
tant Of all, it must be so constructed
that it will appear all right to folks in
upper windows.

Milton Southland, who used to be a mem
Der of congress from a district adjoin-
ing that of the president, and who served
with him in the house, is president of
the Ohio society. Among the members
are half hundred, at least, of former
Ohioans who have been identified with
national politics. They are all personal
friends of the president. On the occa-
sion mentioned Gov. Roosevelt was fairly
snubbed, it is stated, by the invitation
committee, while Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff
was given place of honor near to the
president and assigned to respond to one
of the leading toasts. 1t is known that
Gov Roosevelt resented this treatment,
although he maintained a strict silence
when approached on the subject.
1t is openly charged by some that
Woodruffs candidacy for the vice-presi-

of according him the nomination, but
for the purpose of dividing the Repub-
licans of New York state, which should
act as a barrier to any presidential am
