DICK MAY GET
HANNA SEAT
Herrick, Taft and Burton are
Mentioned in List of
Possibilities
GEOGRAPHY MAY DETERMINE
6slIotins Will Begin On March Pit
Is Said Senator Foraker Will Favor
General Diek-Mueh Interest in
Washington.

Washington. Feb. 17.--There is much
quiet talk here about the successor to
the late Senator Hanna. The Ohio
Legislature being in session. Governor
Herrick cannot make an appointment.
and the elect on Of Senator viii de-
volve upon that body.
IN the Ohio delegation and among
public officials here from Ohio the idea
prevails that the Senator will come
from the northern section of the State.
as geographical location has generally
been observed. In the present case
this division OF the State brings prom
inently into consideration three candi-
dates. Governor Myron r. HerriclS.
Representative Charles Dick and Rep
lresentative Theodore +. Burton. The
choice of the Legislature it is believed
viii lie in this trio.
Judge Taft. who recently returned
from the PHILIPPINES to become Secreta-
ry OF War is considered by many as
being in the race. and other names
are mentioned. 1t may be that some
unmentioned candidate will be given
the short term and Herrick elected e
the long term. The plan has many sup
porters, but the difficulty is said to b,
in finding n man who could afford tc
take the place.
Dick HAnna's Lieutenant.
AS the present Legislature was chos-
en- with the particular view Of re-elect.
ing Senator Hanna, the Republican
members are almost all Hanna men.
With the election OF this legislatur,
General Dick as chairman OF the stat,
Committee. had much to do and wal
more familiar with the candidates an,
the work of the election than any 9th
er man. He has the advantage Of be
ing popular among the party workers
of the State, and this fact is consider
ed as greatly in his favor in the Sena
torial contest. General Dick was yer,
close to the late Senator Hanna an
was the latter's political manager Il
the State.
Governor Herrick was a very clos
personal friend Of the late Senator an
I his election last fall by a tremendou
majority is urged now in his favor a
showing his popularity with the voter
OF the state.
! Mr.. Burton is recognized as one {
the most painstaking and able legi.
lators i'm Congress. He has steere
clear OF factionai entanglements /
! Ohio politics and is being urged upo
his merits as legislator.
In many quarters the contest is br
lieved to be between Governor Her
rick and General Dick.
Senator Foraker will have some in
fiuence in the Legislature. but as h
! took no part in the selection Of car
7 didates and their election. believin
, that as IL was to re-elect Mr.. Hanni
the latter should have charge of tn;
work, there is no distinct "Forak.
element" in the present Ohio lesisls
ture. Some are disposed to belle,
that as between Governor Herrick an
General Dick Senator Foraker wou
be likely to favor the latter.

TIE NATIVE DANCES
GRACEFUL MOVEMENTS OF THE
 PACIFIC ISLAND PEOPLES. :.
Music Is Their Natural Expression of Happiness-Various Forms of Ex- pressive Dances Found in Diff
 ferent Island Tribes.

Pango Pango, Tutuilla.-Among the people of the Pacific isles music is the natural expression of happiness. They are of an intensely emotional tempera- ment and joy or excitement is expressed in ringing chorus or in graceful dances.
 The native dance Is somewhat al lied to the muscle dances of the east. but is much more graceful and pleas ing.
 The Hawaiian hula Is danced by any number of girls trained for the pur- pose. Sometimes there is but one or two and sometimes a dozen or more. the belles of the village and great pains are taken that they shall exercise and perfect themselves in the difficult movements of which their dance con- sists.
 The garments are suited to the dancers, The hair is often left flow ing and thickly intertwined with blos- soms of different gaudy hues Heavy wreaths of flowers called leis are thrown about the neck, reaching some times to the knees. About the waist is . heavily-fringed skirt of plaited palm leaves, and on wrists and ankles are ropes of flowers.
 The orchestra at one of the native dances is primitive, consisting of the beating of native instruments and the intoning of voices, now low and soft as the dancers whirl lightly to and fro, or now loud chant when the dancers beat their hands together or stamp upon the the original Hawaiian dance will be but memory. The great influx of white settlers has had pernicious influence upon most things native and bids fair

: ss tH A People With Tails,

A German traveller claims to have discovered in the forests of Borneo a people who still wear the tail of our primitive ancestors. He does not write from hearsay He has seen the tail, says the London Chronicle. It belonged to a child about six years old, sprung from the tribe of Poenans. As nobody could speak the Poenan tongue, the youngster could not be questioned, but there was his tail, sure enough, not very long, but flexible, hairless and about the thickness of ones little fin ger. The Poenans are reported to be very simple, honest folk, with a child like system of barter They deposit in public places the goods they wish to exchange, and a few days later they find there the equivalents they desire. Nobody dreams of stealing. This is almost as remarkable as the ve +ige of the ancestral taiI

to turn the poetic expression of happi- ness and simple gayety into a mere vulgar exhibition.
 Among the natives of Tahiti a similar dance under the same name is found, ex- cept that here the men take part. The dances here are all illustrative of some song. Perhaps it is song of love, of the courtship of some timid maiden.
 The song is low and tender, the maid dances lightly to and fro swaying her slender body to the rhythm of the chant. Suddenly the lover appears. He warily approaches. The maiden, alright, flies beyond, she assumes look and attitude of indifference. This goes on for hours sometimes, the pursued gradually yielding, while faster he pursues and faster the music plays till at last she turns conquered by his persistence and stretches forth her hands, turned palm up, token of submission, and the dance is over.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-22

Among the Samoan tribessth dances are of still a slightly different nature. They call an assembly of the dancers and the dance itself the Seva-seva.
 Instead of standing upright as the other dancers do, the greater part of the time they are on their knees, or crouch ing in circle
 The attire is practically the same ex- cept that the Samoans bleach the hair with lime till 1t is of reddish hue and dress fantastically. They are also tatooed.
 The Fijis are more weird, their hair, being stiffened into great pyramid andl decorated with mirrors, shells or fiow-I CTS, anything that can be attached. The dance is akin to the Samoan islanders, < though not so graceful.
 The Solomon islanders are very dif~'' ferent looking race, small and very black They delight in war dances with dreadful masks and huge wands of some cork-like substance woven like q shield The Maoris of New Zealand dance tha Haka, men, women and children. It ix B sort of drill accompanied by horrid grimaces, thrusting out the tongue and rolling the eyes.
 Among all these people the dance Is the Hatural expression of joy, triumpk or celebration

A JaDnnese Commen+.

The beautiful Baroness Hayashi, the wife of the Japanese ambassador to London, attended recently a dinner par. ty where a Frenchman held the table spellbound for an hour by an extraor- dinary dissertation on Japan, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. He described the Japanese mode of bathing, the Japa- nese dress, the Japanese religion and form of marriage proposal, the geisha's S manner of making up her lips and eyes and nails-in a word, the most intimate secrets of Japan were exposed and minutely described by this Frenchman. He departed early. He had made a great success After he was gone a young stockbroker said in a reverent tonea What a wonderful man! He seems to know something about every thing" Except Japan" commented the Baroness Hayashi quietly: Montana Phone Line For Farmers.

Rent Payers Shy at Thirteen.

A collector for a real estate firm says the superstition regarding 13 IS Increasing. Most of his collecting is in tenement houses on the West side, where the rent ranges from $10 to SIS a month. Tn every instance where the rent is SIS, the collector says, the ten ant uses some method of lodging the payment of the exact amount. "I'm not superstitious, one woman told him, "but it is no use to tempt bad luck. I'll pay you five cents short this month and, give you the extra nickel next time" A tenant on the same floor insisted on paying $13.O1. The collector gave the receipt for $13, and laughingly called attention to the fact that it was the 18th of the month This made the tenant fearful for a few moments, but she finally satisfied herself that 1t would be all right the extra cent she had paid breaking whatever spell the 13 might cast upon hec.-M y.

HOW Sea Birds Get g Drink.

''When I was cabin boy" said an elderly sailor, T often used to wonder, Seein' birds thousands of miles out to sea, what they done for fresh water when they got thirsty.
 "One day ,squall answered that question for me. It was hot and glitterin' day in the tropics, and in the clear sky overhead black rain cloud appeared all of sudden. Then out o1 the empty space over hundred sea birds came dartin' from every direc' ton. They got under the rain cloud and they waited there for about ten min utes, circlin' round and round, and when the rain began to fall they drank their fill.
 ''In the tropics, where the great sea birds sail thousands of miles away from shore, they get their drinkin water in that way. They smell out 2 storm a long way off; they travel . hundred miles, maybe, to get under it and they swallow enough raindrops to keep them goin'. ."-Portland Ore gOnian

MlsFoRTUNEs OF PRINCESS
She Was Antique and Scarlet and Her Woes Shocked the New
 Stenographer. ~

A young woman who substitutes for stenographers while they take their va cations was sent by an agency to a cer- tain place in such haste one morning that she neglected to find out anything about the firm or what kind of business it conducted, relates the CIV York Sun.
 The man who met her was cross, and evidently things had gone wrong. He gave her a lot of long lists of figures to copy and shut her in a tiny office where the machine and chair were the only fur nishings.
 She went to work somewhat nervously in the strange surroundings. Overhead there was the pounding of heavy machin- cry and outside the buzz of whirring wheels.
 Pretty soon she heard 8 man's voice call number and realized that the tele- phone booth was next door The tone was gruffer than the one which had greeted her.
 This is Thompson's," it said. "Why don't you send us that princess?"
 The stenographer stopped her work and listened. With the necessary stops for the other man the voice went on: ''Yes, princess. You did promise, too. We got our knives all sharpened on pur- pose. Ask Fletcher about that antique scarlet princess for Thompson's. Well, we'll wait until 10 o'clock.
 Half an hour later the same voice sounded, and 1t was angrier than ever.
 'Thompson's, 1t growled. 'FYes, the princess did come at last, and you can just send your wagon up. The matter? Too little, not red enough and no more princess than you are. No, you can't fool me, man. No genuine antique princess ever cut like that I'll give you one more try. If you have the real thing send it along" .
 Later the stenographer heard a roar:
 ''Is that Fletcher? Say, your princess developed black spots. The men can't , even touch. Oh, none of that, now. Never mind explaining any more Send the wagon" 9z
 And the booth door banged after the frate man.
 The stenographer had an uncomforta- ble desire to know more about the unfor- tunate princess, for whom the knives had been sharpened and who had developed black spots at the first touch. She stole from the office and slipped into a dark hall that opened into the street.
 Some men were taking long wooden cases from freight elevator, and in the half light the boxes had a wierd look. The girl screwed up her courage and approached a man.
 Whats in those boxes?" she asked
 Paper, miss," said the man Big lot of Antique Scarlet Princess got to go back to the wholesale house. Cut wrong, guess. Managers hot about it."
 tfIs this paper store?"
 ''This is Thompson's printing office, miss" replied the man. "Is there some body you was looking for?''

aold Man Kangaroo Mile. 7

What is an "old man kangaroo mile?' Ihe expression was used by MT. Bent, the preenier of Victoria, in a recent speech, and one, of the report CTS subsequently, asked him what he meant Well. you see" he replied. "an ordinary English mile is 1,760 yards; an old man kangaroo mile would be about 500 yards extra" The old man kangaroo is the biggest and most powerful of the marsupials, and iI can cover mile very rapidly with It's tremendous jumps. A race between an old man kangaroo and a motor car would be worth seeing, if it were pos sible to arrange and carry out such a contest.-Detroit Free Press.
