Act

Toledo, o., July 3.-Perry White,
deputy revenue collector in the Office
of Colonel Waldorf, and former men,
Der of the Republican state central
committee from this district, is pro-
nounced political prodigy by politi-
clans. Colonel Waldorf got orders to
reduce his force and when he called
his staff together Mr.. Waite volun-
teered to make the sacrifice, saying:
81 am single man, while the others
are all married and can shift better
ttan they can," and Perry resigned
good $4,000 a year job.
Republican politicians here say that
there was not so much self-sacrifice
in Deputy Revenue Collector Perry
Waite's resignation as the Federal Of
ficials here seem to think.
Last fall when President Roosevelt
issued his ukase against Federal office
holders taking an active part in poll
tics under pain of dismissal Waite,
then member of the Republican state
central committee, in published inter.
views, practically defed Roosevelt by
saying that the order would have no
effect on him and that he would con-
t!nue as actively in politics as ever.

ton followed The wise ones" see a

farmer, left home Monday afternoon
to drive up the cows. His wife and
a young woman at his home saw him
walking toward the pasture, but he has
not returned and every effort to find
him has failed. Searching parties
have been sent out day and night
since his long absence caused the alarm
to he given. One hundred men and
boys were hunting yesterday and. sten
by step, covered every foot of ground
in the vicinity of the missing mans
home. The only theory advanced for
his complete and strange disappearance
is that he has been kidnapped. Rath-

come slowly on that was to be the
ruin of your hopes and expectations?
It is like the torture of the thumb
screw getting brighter on you every
minute. The night came on earlier,
and also darker than usual, and we
could see the rain already yelling the
tops of the mountains; but still there
was time, and perhaps an hour of
grace would be given US. and we went
into the house after the fireworks
which was to be the crowning glory
of the Fourth. Already the ball had
opened, for up the valley we could see
an occasional rocket wriggling up to-
wards the sky, and from the town on
numbers.
The older folks and some of the
neighbors sat in the dusk on the porch,
waiting for operations to commence.
My grandfather was telling about a
celebration that occurred back in New
York when he was boy. Then the
first rocket was placed in slanting
trough fixed on the ground, and then
came the thrilling swish and up 1t
went past the line of cottonwoods, up,
up to the black clouds, then soft
burst of red and yellow stars! All!
The next rocket was more erratic and
was slow in starting, and with trail
of sparks went over into the garden.
On the gate post we fixed the PIN
wheels, so that the audience on the
porch could see them, but as a rule
they wouldn't spin and it became nee
essary to urge them along. Then the
Roman candles flashed into the air in
brief glory of color, and We shot
them at each other until we got orders
to stop. To fill in the interval there
was the cracking of lunches Of fire.
crackers, which we now wasted reck-
lessly; and Jim had an old horse pistol
that he shot into the air, making rack
ct enough for regiment. Then the
niger r-Chasers, which we would place
on the ground and light, would tear
around and chase after us in the most
unexpected manner without the least
logic One of them chased after the
colored cook, who took it as personal
affront and was deeply aggrieved.
But finally there came the last rocket,
and none too soon. for the rain had
commenced falling in big scattering
drops and pattered more and more rap
idly upon the tin roof of the spring
house. Up it went into the rainy
night and the brilliant sparks died out
in the gloom, and the Fourth OF Jnly
was over.
The next day We took a qualified
pleasure in shooting off stray squib
that had escaped combustion on the
Fourth. Oh, why had we not saved
at least one bunch of crackers as a
consolation prize for the inglorious
fifth? But regrets were useless, so We
made collection Of the burned out
Roman candles and hunted for faller
rocket sticks in the meadow. es
