certain gossip to that effect wiz not be
surprising.
Judge Taft perhaps would ike to be
president; most men would. But Judge
Taft, who has shown a greater grasp
on the Philippine question than prob
ably anyone could, save and except his
former chief, Secretary Root. has, for
many years, aspired to the Supreme
court of the United States. There may
be, and probably win be, a vacancy in
the court during the ensuing term OF
President Roosevelt If so, and Judge
Taft desires it, it is common talk that
he Will get it. And yet there is much
talk of him for president in 1908.
Elihu Root, one Of the ablest men who
has been connected with an admins
tratiOn in a generation; perhaps the
ableSt secretary of war that has ever
held the position; is pFacticing law in
New York city. He takes corporation
practice; it pays. Mr.. Root left the cab
met because he Ionged for the Temuner-
alive practice his great ability as an at
toFney would give him. But no small
amount of talk the next four years will
connect him with the presidency in
1908. He could have been governor of
New York this year, had he SO desired,
and the president is anxious he should
be; but he refused it positively. So
whether he desires again to enter poll
tics is a question. If he should be
ambitious for the presidency, Mr.. Shaw
and Mr.. Fairbanks would have to do
their best workout that is something
no one can foretelL

BY NJ. Quad.
Mr.. BOWSer had been reading for a
quarter of an hour the other evening
when Mrs. Bowser looked up from
her sewing and queried:
Have you got something very in
teresting ?''
Yes, it would interest most men, I
think" he answered.
Then why not most women? ~
Because women are not supposed
to have any minds worth speaking of. -
''Indeed!''
Il will, however, call your attention
to this book, as it may possibly aid
me to illustrate a point. 1t is a work
on the subject of memory. It shows
you how memory can be strengthens
and improved, and certainly some
thing Of the sort is needed in your
case Your lapses of memory are
something awful to contemplate
Are they? Kindly mention one or
two instances
Il could mention two or three thou
sands, but what's the use? If you will
read this little book through three or
four times it will help your case
Has it helped YOU'RE" tartly asked
Mrs. Bowser.
Wonderfully. I haven't read it
through but once. but find my mem
DRY a great deal clearer"
st am glad to hear it. This morn

and leave my order, and after waiting
several hours for them to come /
went over and found you had passed
right by"

its patrons on the Kansas side of the
state line by September
It is announced, however, that the
pipe line, through which natural gas
will be brought to that city from the
Kansas fields, will be laid by. June 1.
There will be two lines of pipe, twelve
and sixteen inches in diameter, and
with the pumping stations necessary
to be installed the outlay to the Kan
sas Natural Gas company, which will
undertake to supply natural gas to
several Kansas cities and towns, Will
be close to four million dollars.
Discussing the Wyandotte Gas COM

ural gas Northrup Moore, superin-
tendent in Kansas City, Kan, said:
I'VE have already placed orders for
nineteen miles of pipe which we ex-

1t will be delivered to US in February,
March, April and May. The natural
gas will be brought into the city in
high pressure pipe over the Fifth
street bridge to six reducing stations
which our company will install. From
these the gas will be distributed
through the company's mains at nor
NAL pressure to our patrons"
1t is evident, from the preparations
now making, that Kansas City, Kan,
will be the first city. on the Missouri
river to use natural gas.

profit by its advice things would go

They entered the parlor and counted,
and there were six pieces. Mr.. Bowser
looked uneasy and shufied about His
first idea was to charge Mrs. BoWSer
with having introduced an extra chair,
but he saw that wouldn't work, and
grudgingly admitted:
yes, see there are six pieces. but
our first idea was to buy only five. I
believe you sent down afterwards for
the odd one. and that's what knocked
my calculations out 1t wasn't a fair
test. Two weeks ago you asked me to
measure a picture frame for. you and

had to take it back. You see"
Mrs. BOwser ran upstairs and brought
down the frame and a tapeline and
handed them both to him, and there
was a smile of pity on his face as he
applied the line. The smile came off
like old plaster, and a flush of red re-
placed it. Her figures were correct.

He was fairly beaten, and he stood

turned to his book He was boiling
