IDEAS OF INVENTORS.

An ingenious respiratory apparatus
for the use of fremen has been in

tary was right. and he had his

who goes out to get the delegates
of the Southern States with
speeches of that sort is going to be
suspected by some folks of being a

he is going to be rated as an honest

Secretary Taft is rather notorious

getting more and more notorious
for disposition to say what people
ought to hear rather than what
they might like to hear. His meth
DDS of campaigning for the South

appeal to the Republicanfsm of his
home State last year. But this
particular sort of heterodoxy is
growing more and more popular in
