Announcement comes from Washing
ton that Congressman Gambler of the
First District has secured a number of
additional free delivery routes for his
constituents. This department is
strictly non-political, but permission
is asked to state that Congressman
Gambler had dozen or fifteen Of these
routes in operation before some Of the
Mississippi congressman found out
that there was such thing to be had
Gambler is hustler. He has no oppo-
nent in the present race.

ROOSEVELT WAS FIRM.

Washington, June Sin the contro-
versy between the President and SEN
ators and other party leaders who op-
pose the selection Of Secretary Cortel-
you for chairman OF the Republican
National Committee. Mr.. Roosevelt
has won his point and those who criti-
cized the choice stand ready to yield
without further contention. according
to intimates OF the administration, II
is at least quite certain that the PresS
dent has not changed his mind and
will not. This little anair at one time
looked ominous. but when the Presi-
dent, after summing up all criticisms
and suggestions and aDalyzing their
reasons, announced that he still stood
by Cortelyou. the leaders saw that fur
Their objection was useless.
Had former Governor Murray Crane
Of Massachusetts been willing to ac-
cept, the question would have been
solved without any difficulty whatever.
But when the names OF Senators Pen.
rose and Gallinger. Governor Murphy,
of New Jersey and J. w. Blythe were
presented II was found there could be
no agreement even among the leaders
themselves. Then 1t was that the
President decided upon Cortelyou.
An interesting story reached Wash
ington by way OF Iowa last night to
the effect that J. Pierpont Morgan and
J. J. Hill had demanded J. W. Blythe
for national chairman as the price OF
their friendship to Mr.. Roosevelt dur
Ing the campaign. This was very
quickly nailed" today by a member OF
the administration who. more than any
one else. except the President himself
has been concerned In the naming OF
the campaign manager. He said the
report was absolutely absurd.

A Vegetable Wonder.

The welwitschia mirabilis is a
wonder of the vegetable kingdom. 1t
grows on the barren land Of the west
ern side of Africa, where rain is al
most unknown and the only moisture
is that from dews which fall at night.
This plant was discovered in 1860 by
DR.. Welwitsch, an eminent scientific
traveller. The welwitschia is a tree
which lives for many years, many
specimens being estimated as more
than 100 years old.
Every year of its life increases its
size, yet it never grows higher. Ris-
ing just above the ground this strange
plant, looking like a rough round Ia
Bile. regularly enlargss by adding con-
centric layers to its circumference
The fiat upper surface of the trunk is
very hard and dark, resembling in
color and texture the crust of an over
baked loaf. The trunk attains the
size Of from fourteen to eighteen
feet in circumference, but is never
more than few inches above the
ground.
The welwitschia Is remarkable in
the fact that it never loses its first
two leaves and never gets any more.
These leaves increase in size year af-
ter year until they attain the length
of six or eight feet or more. They
are fiat and leathery and frequently
split into numerous straps.
