 The political complexion of the United States has been changed ma, teriaily by the death Of Senator Hanna While to the outside world Hanna and Roosevelt were friends, really, the bit terest antagonism existed between them. had Senator Hanna lived there is no doubt that MT Roosevelt would have very hard time in winning out at the Chicago convention. As things stand now it is thousand to one shot that MT Roosevelt will be nominated, and in his nomination the democratic party will find very easy candidate to beat A pretty good evidence of the way Mir Roosevelt switches is dem onstrated by dispatch printed on February 1 in the Chicago Record Herald, a republican newspaper, signed by Walter Wellman, very prejudiced partisan writer for the Roosevelt combination. In this dis patch Mir Wellman admits with almost charming franknessa that sthe1 .differ- ences between the Roosevelt adminis- tration and the Wall street magnates have been patched up, that several Of these magnates have recently been en- tertained by Mir Roosevelt at the White House; that they were generally satisfied with the course of affairs so far as the administration is conqeerned, and that 'even the Rockefeilers are showing a disposition to fall into line"

Exploits in navigation by small boat are extending to eastern Europe. Simon Strabrovsky, a hardy Russian fisher man of Odessa, has just accomplished the feat of navigating alone in a small Black sea to Constantinople and back, putting in at Constanza and Salina on the return voyage One peculiarly of the adventure is that Strabrovsky nayi- gated without a compass, declaring that the stars were enough. He received a sum of G200 for his exploit.

Perry Heath knows a thing or two, after all. His resignation from the national republican, teonamitt tee shows that he knew enough to get under cover by resigning when the prop he leaned on, Senator Hanna, passed away. Heath's getting out has saved the managers the. trouble of ousting him. Wonder if they will now revive the postohice nix1alp in which he was said to be concerned? : Ezst

Unless the opponents of Governor Chamberlain get move on he will be again candidate for the governorship. He has made lots of friends during his term, and like Barkus, is willing, if the republican party wants him. He says in round about way that he is in the hands of his friends. n4l That means that Judge of Probate Cleave- land will have to wait another two years. "

WOMEN INVENTORS.

A woman of our vicinity has recently
patented a suspender waist, which bids
fair to be an immense success, and it
was an emergency such as every moth
Ell has known which led her to appro-
pirate the idea. Her little boy had
reached the age when he could toddle
about, and yet was not emancipated
from the wearing of diapers. If she
pinned them to his little undervests
they promptly tore holes in them, if
she left them unpinned he strewed
them by the wayside, and to fasten
them tightly about his hips made them
uncomfortable, so after a little study
she fashioned a yokelike waist of mus
lin, with a long tab in front and a
shorter one in the back Each tab had
Il safety pin fastened to it by an elastic
band, which was detachable, so that
the waist could be washed. After
using the garment for a while she saw
that it was a perfect success and SO
she applied for a patent, which was
granted for the United States and Can
ada in June of 1908. 1t was no trouble
for her to make a handsome DISPOSE
ton of her rights, which bring her an
income of $4,000 year for seventeen
years, and a royalty on all sales above
a certain amount. Many women have
made contrivances which are similar,
but it was the wit and ceverness to
make & money success of it which dis
tinguished this one. Mrs. Henry
Wight, in The Epitomist.

If Pills Were Poison.

II Detroit's crop of pills for a single
year was made Of any deadly poison
one-half of them would be sufficient
to depopulate the entire globe.
If the annual pill harvest of Detroit
was strung on thread, like Christmas
popcorn, the rope of pills would reach
twice around the earth, with enough
over to tie in bowknot.
If this string of pills was cut in
pieces each of the 100000 women
and girls in America could have a
different necklace of pills for every
day in the year, with an extra long
one for each Sunday.
Detroit produces 4,000,000,000 pills
each year.-Laslie's Monthly.
