Heath Nnminatcs Hannn.

Perry Heath, who has wrecked his
health and nearly exhausted his vitali-
ty through his unremitting labors on
behalf of the Republican party in two
campaigns, not counting the excessive
eXertiOns he put forth in the interim
in holding down a high place in the adj
ministration while organizing national
banks in which himself was a big stock
holder, and securing the appointment
to places of trust for personal friends
of the Nicely ilk, has taken a run over
to London to recuperate his depleted
mental and bodily energies.
The tired feeling, however, that had
overspread the other members of the
Heath anatomy does not appear to have
extended to his tongue, for he has been
INDUCING lately in conversation at the
Hotel Cecil, which had for it's princi-
pal topic Heath's political captain and
model, the redoubtable Marcus Alonzo
Hanna.
In Heath's eyes, Hanna is all that is
great and wonderful and admirable in
the Republican party. He is not salts
fed with having him deputy President
and boss of the national Republican
machine. He demands that he be made
the chief executive of the nation.
Said Mr.. Heath: There is not a man
in the Republican party who could get
the next Presidential nomination so
surely as Senator Mark Hanna, and
not a man in the United States who
could be so surely elected"
The ex-Assistant Postmaster General
thereupon proceeded to give his rea-
sons why his chief and model could be
elected, principal among which was
that Mr.. Mckinley, by taking Senator
Hanna's advice, had made his admins
tration the most successful that ever
happened.
Mr.. Heath can hardly be blamed for
! booming Mr.. Hanna for the Presidency.
Hanna pulled Heath out Of the man
agement of a newspaper that was fenc-
ing against bankruptcy and gave him
all sorts of opportunities for making
political capital and feathering his nest
! financially.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Hanna is not so
strong as he was year ago. The lead
ers of the party, including such men as
Quay Platt, Foraker, Allison, Hender-
son, Lodge and Hawley, are opposed to
him as a Presidential quantity, and his
unpopularity has even been accentu-
ated by such a stanch financial friend
as ]. Pierpont Morgan, who refused to
have Hanna's name put on the list of
directors of the steel trust.
Hanna is nearer being President than
he will ever be to becoming the Presi-
dental nominee Of his party.-Kansas

ARenub1ican Rupture Sure.

"A
The virtual deposition of Chairman
Joseph w. Babcock from the chairman

Communication his announcement that
he will not serve in that capacity be-
yond his present term amounts to that
is a sign of a serious rupture in the
Republican party on the tariff question.
Other questions of party policy, man
agement and leadership may be quite
as seriously involved.
Congressman Babcock signed the
warrant for his own decapitation as
Chairman of the Republican Congress
sional Committee when he introduced,
near the close of the last Congress, a
bill to abolish the tariff on the steel
products manufactured by the Morgan
81, OO0,O0O,O00 steel trust. 1t was a
measure inspired by public sentiment
on the subject of the mammoth trusts
organized to prodigiously increase the
power and profits of the protected in
dustries.
Every consumer in the country hoped
for the success of the policy which Con
gresham Babcock inaugurated. 1t
would have hampered the power of the
great trusts which are usurping in our
Industrial and commercial system the
useful popular place which should be
flled by individual or limited corporate
enterprises.
But it was frowned upon by Mr..
Hanna and the other representatives Of
the trust magnates. Mr.. Babcock will
not be chosen again for Chairman of
the Republican Congressional Commit
tee. He was a candidate to succeed
Senator John G.. Spooner for Senator
from Wisconsin, but his chances of sue
cess have disappeared. 1t is doubtful
if he cap be reelected TO Congress from
the Third District of Wisconsin, which
he now represents. Great was his fall.
He dared TO take the side OF the tax
oppressed people in the face OF the
colossal trusts, and his ostracism is
nearly accomplished. Yet he has start
ed the entering wedge which is divid-
ing the Republican party on the ques-
ton Of egregious tariff rates that de-
spoil and Cypress the people while fat
tening the protected trusts. That is his
service to the taxpayers Of the country.
That is his offense against the Repub-
lican party.-Chicago Chronicle.

chalked on the concrete walk. The
squares are quite large and numbered,
and the hopping begins. 1t is certainly
good exercise. A little chip or stone

Jumping rope is left to girls, too. Doc
tors have inveighed against it, but all in
vain. The girls are still jumping. When
ever you see boys spinning tops you will
find girls jumping rope, and probably the
benefit, so far as exercise goes, is on the
side of the girls.
1t is a matter of pride to be able to
jump to twenty or forty or sixty, accord
ing to age and strength. How the braids
bob and the curls fly! They hold their
hats on by main force, while the rope
whips the ground beneath the flying feet.
There is double rope called the Spanish
rope, which calls for great swiftness of
eye and lightness of foot. There is a
slow motion of the rope from side to
side, called making the cradle. Anybody
can jump that.

the plays are so many that the little folk
stuff themselves at night, after all the
vigorous exercise, and go to sleep with
skins tight as any drum.

for BurIing ton-Big Sheep Ranch.

Purchase of the Kilbourn water power
by Philip L. Spooner promises a manu-
featuring boom for that city. The first
use to which it is intended to direct the
power is the operation of the Madison
street railway. Excess electric power to
be transmitted to Madison for street rail-
way purposes will be sold for lighting,
heating and for the operation of machin-
cry. The old grist mill at Kilbourn is to
resume operations and it is expected a
big paper mill will be started there and
other manufacturers win locate in the
vicinity. To obtain sufficient power Mr..
Spooner contemplates the construction OF
a 17foot dam. This will enable a steam
boat to ride up into some of the gulches
in the dells, where sightseers now walk.
1t is estimated the work to be done will
cost over 100000.

It is not only the knickerbockered small
boy who has games Of his own. Girls,
too, have fads and occupations. though
all of them are not monopolized by doll
babies In fact, their historic devotion
to these painted beauties seems 10 be
lessening. Dolls of sawdust and paper
are good for rainy days and for the twi-
light hours before or after dinner, when
one is not allowed TO go out. But the
doll day is decidedly on the decline. 1t
is better for girls, as for boys, to be i'll
the open, to chase butterflies with nets
to climb trees even at the expense of
clothing and to jump and frolic with all
their might.
There is more to be discovered with
the ants, the bees, the birds, the flowers,
or in the companionship of a wise dog,
than in all the sawdust and china-eyed
babies in the world.
However, there are certain games sa-
cred to our grandmOthers and still kept
up in a measure by little girls, being re-
vived from year to year. Some of them
are silly. Most of them date from the
time when boys and girls did not study
from the same books, and when it was
reasoned out that even games must be
feminine. Now we know better. The
same sports that develop the little male
animal are good for little girls, too. Girls
now play baseball and even football.
First and dearest of all the girls games
comes tag. The children range in a
row and somebody counts.
Eeeny, meeny, miney, mo,
Catch a niger by the toe,
If he hollers let him go,
Eeeny, meeny, miney, mo.
The last mo is ''it," and the game
begins with nimble scattering and a
shrill squeak. The lines are silly and
ungrammatical, and the kindergartners
do not approve of them because they
are such meaningless jabber, but the old
doggerel has been used for so many years
that very likely its meaning, if it ever
had any, has all been rubbed off from
