FOR PEACE IN CUBA.
Secretaries Taft and Bacon Holding
Conferences with the Belligerents.

Events have been moving rapidly in
Cuba during the past seven days. oh
account of the continued fighting be-
tween the government and insurgent
troops accompanied by great damage
TO property, three American warships,
the Denver, Des Moines and Dixie,
were sent to Havana Friday. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, after n protracted ses.
sion with Secretaries Taft, Bacon and
Bonaparte, representing the war, state
and navy departments, Saturday ad-
dressed an important communication 10
Cuba and made arrangements TO send
Secretaries Taft and Bacon to the IS
land to make thorough investigation
of the conditions there and lend their
influence toward the restoration OF
peace. The Taft-Bacon party arrived
in Havana Tuesday and on the follow.
ing day the heads of the moderate and
liberal parties of Cuba submitted their
respective statement of facts Leading
up to the revolution and the conduct
of the belligerents.
After the hearings Secretary Tart
said TO the Associated Press that he
had lust begun his work and that 1T
was evident that the mission upon
which he came would require more
time than he had anticipated. lie es-
timated that ten days would be re-
auired to complete his errand. He was
pleased with the fact that representa-
tiyes of every faction had visited the
agents of President Roosevelt which ne
considered argued well for the success
of the mission which he desired II TO be
understood was purely mediatory. Mr.:
Taft said he expected to meet men Oh
affairs and property.
There is a fear in Washington that
permanent peace will not result from
Secretary Taft s mission even though
the present trouble is patched up and
the right and duty of the United States
to annex the island is being debated.
Preparations to force peace in Cuba IL
Taft fails are going on apaee and the
war department, it is said, has planned
to throw an expeditionary army OF o.
900 into Cuba under command OF Gen-
eral Funston. OF course, it would take
an army many times as large to pre-
serve semblance Of order in the is
land If the natives really opposed our
intervention. 1t must be remembered
that Spain was unable to pacify the
country with an army exceeding loo,-
600 men. Meanwhile the insurgent
leaders seem unable to restrain their
followers and compel truce. Depre-
dations in the vicinity of Cienfuegos
continue and hostilities have broken
out in Santiago province.

Satisfactory" Says Tuttle.

"On the whole ! think the result
should be satisfactory, said President
Tuttle of the B. & NJ, concerning the
nomination Of Charles M. Floyd for
governor by the New Hampshire repub-
licans. VoS f .stss,
'.Mr Floyd he continued, iran his
own campaign; Mr.. Greenleaf was com
monty regarded as machine candl'
date; Mr.. Pillsbury represented the
.anti ti.extravagant element, and Mr:
Churchill stood for reform, his CHIEF
plank being his opposition to the b. q
M. r. R. Mr.. Floyd will be, then, upon
an independent platform, and such be,
inc the ease. he should make a good
enough governor.
III was not at all surprised at the
result. It was demonstrated pretty
clearly that Greenleaf could not win
and his support went to floyd'
sit was fight all through to nring
a new set of men into control OF tne
republican party in New Hampshire. IL
was a similar situation to the Moran
boom in the democratic party IN TINS
state. Had either of the other three
received the nomination, it would have
resulted in an entirely new set of men
getting control of the republican party
in the state. ,n ~.
"Of course it has been urged that
hecause Churchill was so bitter against
the B. & NJ. r. R., we were very much
concerned over how the nomination
would 90. / can tell you that the 3. q
NJ. was the least disturbed element IN
the entire state over the possible re-
suits of the convention.

THE TRACK EVENTS.
They Promise to Be a Great Improve

Those who read carefully the list Of
entries below will see among them the
names of many horses that have been
performing splendidly Of late. The
races promise to be better than for sew
eral years past, and there is prospect
of very large fields. The reopened race

of the features of the three.days card.
Many of the fast steppers are already

How to Get to Sleep.

Sit in reclining chair or a rock
er. Tip the chair to comfortable
angle for the body mot enough to
cause any perceptible weight on
the back and to a restful position
for the head. Place the feet ON q
chair as high as or a trifie higher
than that upon which YOU are sit
ting. Gross the limbs at the ankles,
(this closes one end of the circuit).
Put the hands together by inter-
lacing the fingers this closes the
other end of the circuit. Drop the
hands loosely in the lap. Close
the eyes. Let go. Relax the body
and mind. Relieve yourself of all
muscular and nervous tension.
Think Of nothing except sleep. If
You find the mind wandering in
strange and forbidden or even in
too frequented paths bring it back
and slowly concentrate it on the
deep, slow, rhythmical breathing.
AS You inhale, think sleep; as you
cxhale, think sleep.

by the hands of her envoy, a few
hairs pulled expressly for herfrom
the tail of his beloved animal.
The recent addition of young
specimen to a native collection
gave an opportunity for compari.
son of existing with past condi-
tions. A small pecuniary recon-.
pense was thought a sufficient re.
ward for the man who made the
capture. When the animal was
tame enough to be transported it
was marched across the country
to the nearest railway station,
where a specially constructed
truck was waiting to receive it.
But there were no gilded pillars,
no silk and satin hangings, no adj
miring multitude to do homage to
the mascot of their king and
country.
In Bangkok, however, some
preparations were made. A con.
siderable crowd was waiting at
the station, and the streets we're
decorated here and there with
bunting. A procession of four
white elephants, residents of the
capital, escorted the newcomer to
its home.
The trappings of the white ele-
phants wear tawdry, threadbara

nond and ruby no longer orna-

The Wichita Eagles Washing

ITCHY of the facts related
Charlie Fechheimer, formerly ol
Wichita, but now of Chickasha,
i. T. did something here last
week that looked like great des-

an annual term of court. Senator
Bailey had promised that when the
bill would come up in the senate he
would amend it in favor of Chick-
asha.
The day the bill came up Mr..
Fechheimer took a front seat in
the senate gallery to watch the
proceedings, and to his great hor-
ror and amazement he found that
the statehood bill had not the de

WHITE JUMBO FORGOTTEN.
Once the Pride and Worship of Siam,
It Now Attracts Very Little
Attention.

The glory of the white elephant
has long since departed. Even in
Siam, its native country, there. are
many evidences that it will soon
cease to be treated other than the
ordinary elephants, asserts the
New York Herald.
The early historians of the orr
ent have left accounts Of the cap
ture OF the white elephants in diff.
ferent parts of Indo- China, all of
which lay great stress on the mag
nificent ceremonies and the great
delight of the kings to welcome
the beast to their capitals.
The fortunate individual who
discovered the whereabouts of a
white elephant was at once raised
to the highest rank Of nobility and
very likely married to the kings
daughter, though this was no
great honor, as he probably had
many dozens to dispose of.
The capture being effected,
guards of mobiles were mounted
over the animal, which was bound
with siken ropes and detained in
the jungles where it was caught.
A palace was erected for it's re.
ception close to that of the king,
and roads were made from the
place of capture to the principal
highway. Installed in its palace,
loaded with h0nors, and with the
highest sounding titles, surround
ed by the golden umbrellas and
other insignia Of greatness, the
white elephant led life Of luxuri.
Gus ease, lulled to sleep by the
choral chants of priests and
amused during waking hours by
the songs and dances of the royal
corps de ballet.
Some 45 years ago the king
of Siam possessed a white ele-
plant which was the chief delight
and pride of the sovereign in spite
of his high education and good in
tellect. AS the greatest compli-
ment he could think Of paying to
the queen of England he sent her,

cERNE GIANT DISAPPEARING
Interesting Survival Of Prehistoric
England Rapidly Descending
Into Native Oblivion.

An interesting survival of pre-.
historic England is threatened
with destruction owing to neglect.
This is the "Cerne Giant" a colos-
sal human figure cut on the side
Of lofty Hill that overlooks the
picturesque village of Cerne Alb
bas, eight miles north of Dor
chester.
1t is several years since the fur
rows which outline the giants fig.
ure were secured and refined with
chalk. Gradually the latter has
been washed away by the winters
rains and it is now barely Wis
ible. Grass has so encroached on
the channels that, seen from dis
tance, the details of the gigantic
figure are hard to trace, though
the uncouth human form is still
recognizable. The cost of reno
waiting the giant is estimated al
about f12, but no one in the local.
ity knows where the money is to
come from.
The "Old Man" as bo is styled
by the natives Of Cerne Abbas (the
"Abbot's Cernep' of Hardy's Wes-
sex novels), is built ontruly heroic
lines. He stands $50 feet high and
his right hand grasps. knotted
club 121 feet long. Theunknown
artist had his own notions of the
just proportions Of the human
frame, as will be seen from the
following further measurements:
Length of body, n feet; legs, so
feet; head, % feet; right arm, 109
feet; nose, 6 feet; diameter Of
eyes, 21 feet.
The antiquity of the figure is ac
cepted by all archaeologists.
Most authorities ascribe II to the
Celtic period, while some have
held thatit represents an idol once
worshiped by the pagan West
Eaxons. Anothe, view Is that it
was the work of the monks of the
then rewly-forDd Benedictine
Abbey Of Cerne.

YOUNG THATCHER PASSES.
Lads Prefer Simple Farmwork to .
Calling Which Requires Long
Term of Apprenticeship.

1t was remarked in the writer's
hearing got long ago that a young
thatcher is never met with nova
days, declares the London Spec.
tator. The statement, though
too sweeping, as generalizations
are apt to be, for strict accuracy,
J contains good deal of truth.
Lads fresh from school prefer the
simple, easily acquired routine Of
ordinary farmwork to a calling
which must not only be learned
before it can be practiced, but
which offers-since the thatching
of newly-erected buildings has
been prohibited much smaller

There are few corners in his life

"Tis the law O. the land" the
patient people say when some new

mulgated. "'Tis the law o. the
land, an we can't go agin it" they
murmur, wondering the while why
"the gentlemen what makes the
laws" should condemn them to
sleepbeneath thin states instead Of
beneath the coy thatch which is
so much cooler in summer and
warmer during winter time" To
the suggestion that straw is high

pose a gaze of childlike surprise.
