A Brooklyn man had a sure tip on
a race yesterday, and, tucking $3.50 in
to his inside pocket and boarding his
motor car, he speeded for the track.
An unfeeling policeman arrested him
for speed violation. He was forced
to put up 5000 as collateral. Proceed
ing to the track, he bet the remainder
and won. at odds of 5 to l. Now he
feels sore at the law for mulcting him
of the 81 1000 more he would have won
if he had bet his whole wad. Scorching
comes Observation-Disclosures Star.

Beat Bryan.
New York, June 2O.-The Brooklyn
Eagle tonight publishes the following
dispatch from Washington:
The recrudescence OF William Jen-
nings Bryan has not been lost upon
Theodore Roosevelt. The president
believes that the Nebraskan is certain
to get the democratic nomination for
president in 1908, and he is of the
opinion that there is only one man
in the republican party viii can beat
Bryan, provided there should be no
pronounced change in the temper of
the public between now and election
time.
The Ia who, in the judgement of
Mr.. Roosevelt, stands between Bryan
and the presidency is William How
ard Taft, Secretary of War.
ADMITS BRYAN'S CONSERVATISM.
The president in talking about the
possibilities of 1908. admits to his
friends that Bryan is now a conseva-
tive. He believes that the former
apostle of free silver and other radi-
CdI pIiuClplCS viii III HIS uCAL appear
ance before the public pos as safe
and sane" There is no disposition
on the part of the president to under
estimate the strength of Mr.. Bryan.
He realizes that Bryan's views have
been broadened and his judgment ma
tured by the experience Of the past
ten years; and he Acknowledges that
he has the respect and confidence of
a large part of the people.
OPENING FOR MIR. TAFT.
The president has offered to Secre-
tary Taft a position on the UnNed
States Supreme Court bench. Mr..
Taft is bordering in his mind whether
he rad better accept the tender. He
has MOI settled the question and will
not do so until December, when it
will be necessary to fill the vacancy.
The president does not dare to take
the responsibility of giving advice. He
feels that is he should tell Taft to
abandon %judgeship and go for po-
litical honrs, and if by some chance
Taft should fail to secure the nomina-
ton, he would have committed a
blunder for which he could never for
give himself.-Special to Charlotte OBJ

Love Denied.

Please, ANN p'ease tiss me Goodnight,
NV blue-eyed love with sunny curls
Stood pleading mid her sObs and tears.

1 led her to her snowy cot, 80 t@-,
"Pease, mamnIu Please" she sObbed again,
Il won't be naughty any more"
l left her, all her ~pleadings vain.
1 had been reared in Spartan school.
And deemed it duty to control
With rigid rule. nor ever knew
That love with love should sway the soul.
l heard her sob. my mothers heart
With warming filed to sOoth and cheer;
Yet i refrained. and In her sleep
My baby still lay sObbing there.
Twas midnight when I felt the touch
OF fevered hand upon my brow;
My white rObed baby pleaded still:
"P'ease, mamma, p'ease; ! tan't sleep now"
All through that agOnizing night
DeliriouS she moved in pain;
The little broken heart still plead
For kisses that l gave in vain.
At dawn the angels lowered near;
She nestled close. and smiled, and said,
81 won't be naughty any more"
And in my arms my babe lay-dead.
And l am old; the passing years
Have brought no comfort In their flight;
My heart still hears that SObbing cry:
