A. A. Young, collector of customs
here, is looking after the interests of
Representative Jesse Overstreet in
this district. He said today that the
Republican congressional convention
of the Seventh district will be held
about March Is, although Chairman
Floyd Woods has not issued the call
Young is also confident now that no
one will oppose Overstreet for the
nomination. 1t is very probable that
all of the Republican congressional
conventions Will be held before the
1st of June with the possible exception
of those in the Democratic districts
where men have TO be drafted to make
the race. 1t is also probable that but
few, if any, of the Democratic con-
gressional conventions will be held
until after the national conventions as
the party seems TO be waiting to see
what position to take in the plat
form.

The Fairbanks vice-presidential
boom seems to be growing rapidly
throughout the entire country Harry
S. New, member of the national COM
mittee, who keeps in very close touch
with the politics of the nation, ex-
pressed the opinion today that Senator
Fairbanks will be nominated, as he be-
heves there is a general demand for
him throughout the country He
points out that Senator Fairbanks
would make an excellent running
mate for President Roosevelt The
fact that such well-known Washington
correspondents as Walter Wellman
are now sending stories to their papers
that Senator Fairbanks has been
picked for the place and that he will
accept is regarded here as very signiff-
cant. Some time ago Senator Fair
banks friends were against him TAX
ing the nomination, but they all seem
to be of the belief now that if it is
offered to him that he should take it
and regard it as stepping-stone to the
presidency In 1908.

STILL SURVIVE REVOLUTION
Uncle Sam Still Supports Pensioners
Of the Period When Ma
ton Rebelled.

Some of our pension statistics
are curious, says Success. For ex-
ample, we learn that there are
still on the rolls three pensioners
of the revolutionary war which
was brought to an end over 100
years ago. OF pensioners accred
tied to the war of 1872, there still
remain 919, while of the Mexican
war no fewer than 13,055 survive.
OF those accredited to the revolu-
tionary war, one is a widow and
two are daughters. The report
shows that pension payments are
made to people residing in every
state and territory in the union,
and in almost every known coun-
try on the globe. Among the
states, Ohio leads in the amount
of pension money paid annually to
its citizens, with Pennsylvania
second, New York third, and Hi.
nois and Indianafollowing closely.
At the date of the report there
were 1910 pensioners residing out
side of the United States, and
they drew S722,44O.69 in the last
fiscal year. Nearly half of this
amount went to persons in Can.
ada.
Quarterly pension vouchers
were sent besides to persons in
Mexico, South America, every
country in Europe, the Azores, the
Barbados, China, the ComorC
isles, East and South Africa, Sa
moa, the Seychelles islands, Sian
and st. Martin. 1t shows that the
pension bureau was a busy Office
last year. More than 260,00l
eases were passed upon, and $50,
300 certificates were issued. NJ
fewer than 10S,1 ia applicants
were rejected, of which $1,000
we're thrown out on medical anO
$4,000 on legal grounds.

TRAPDooR SPIDER CUNNING
It Is Declared That His Craftiness
Matches That Of Sly Reynard
Himself.

Some years ago, in Otago, when
running the level over an open
piece of ground, says a writer in
Longman's Magazine, ! noticed a
clew-the secret of which had
been impaired to me a few even
lngs before by Mr.. Gillies-where-
by the presence of a burrow may
be detected. My mind at that time
being full of the subject of the
trapdoOr spider and her work, I
began at once to look for the door.
In spite of the most careful
search, my efforts were unavail-
Ing, and was about to give up the
quest when my eye was attracted
to a small, round patch which
seemed to be engaged in a peculiar
sucking motion. The spider, dis
turbed at my approach, had
rushed to the surface and was tug
ging at the door to kept shut. AS
knelt there examining the nest I
was joined by one of the chainmen.
After regarding it for some time
in silence, he said: "Looks as il
he'd thought it out, doesn't it?"
Simply, the spider had.
The soil at that spot was clay,
hard and baked, and the cunning
little deceiyer with the deliberate
intention of drawing attention
frOmthe nest, hadmade the mouth
to simulate a crack in the brOund.
What made the concealment more
complete was the crafty way in
which the crack was continued be.
!, yond the lid into the ground itself.
! Even though / knew the door was
there, its exact position, when
! closed, defed detection.

TlP.sEEKER TOURISTS PEST
Beggars and Vendors Of Rome Fleece
FOreigners-Germans More
Considerate.

One hears a great deal about the
Association to Facilitate the

but of the good accomplished by
these well-meaning persons one
hears much less.
There is no doubt that there is
a crying evil in the peninsula,
which to some people overbalan-
ces her undoubted attractions
that of the continual necessity to
pay out money in small sums if
you wish any peace. Take, for in
stance, the trip from Naples to
Sorrento and Capri. When you
return you are shorn of perhaps
three lire, not more, but the
giving of that three lire has
been such a WEAKNESS to the flesh
that you feel that you have given
thousands. First, you fall into the
hands of the bOatman to go on
board; getting down to Capri
there are fresh payments and on
visiting the grotto there are fur.
Their disbursements, with innu-
merable tips to odd people and
beggars, while illustrated post
cards and coral vendors make life
a burden. And this is only one ex.
ample Ofwhat the press aptly calls
