people are easily enough duped to be-
lieve it, that Roosevelt wants Taft to
president. Those who are on to the
game have pretty strong conviction
that the astute manipulation and CAL
culator in the White House already
knows that there is not a ghost Of a
chance for Taft, for the reason that
he cannot carry Ohio, his own State.
Taft is a big man, but he is bigger
abroad than he is in his own state.
Foraker is the big man in Ohio, as
was clearly shown last summer, when
some Of his enemies tried to get the
state convention to snub him because
he dared to oppose the president on
the rate bill. Foraker got tremen-
dous endorsement, and the presidents
adherents were made to look like 30
cents. But the president is for Taft
-nominally. He wants the nomina-
ton himself, and when it is clearly
shown at the last minute that Taft~1s
impossible because he can't carry his
own State, then there is nobody else
to turn to but Roosevelt. He may de-
cline it and go down in history as an
otker Caesar who pushed aside the
crown. He's a pretty shrewd fellow,
is this man in the White House who
sits up there today eating turkey and
cranberry sauce between lectures on
the Ten Commandments.
Foraker knows it. Foraker has
sort of an idea that Mr.. T. R. is
something Of a hypoerite. And be is
not afraid to say so. Put that down.
Foraker isn't afraid to say anything.
He's wrong about tflis thing Of
course, but he isn't hedginc, and he
ISN'T going 10 hedge. And he is 60
NO to make the Brownsville affair al
exceedingly important little incident

which also went to Miss Lewis, was
of gold, valued at $4,000. 1t was

BY the will Miss Lewis got in all
100000. This was only small por-
tion of her benefits. When she was
23-her last birthday-Mr. Brown
handed the delighted girl $4,000 in
new bills. Only few months before
he had given her beautiful big house
on Greenfield avenue, worth 100000.
This is where the bride will live when
she returns from her honeymoon. She
got $4,000 worth of diamonds, too,
and in all $125,0OO in cash, say Mrs.

death.

There was tragic scene when the
will was read. Mrs. Elizabeth Will

nothing of it. When she heard, 1t
gave the young widow but 100000 in
beer bonds she burst out weeping and
ran from the room crying: "Oh. Sam
uel, how could you have done this
thing?"
A strange feature Of this strang case
is that the millionaire provided bet
ter for the young widow after her
death than during her life. A niche
by his direction has been reserved for
her in the rich marble mausoleum out
at the cemetery. There she will rest
with the others Of the fahily's dead.

all she had believed was to be hers
was blotted out. But no one told her
this when she reached Pittsburg the
next morning.
Young Mrs. Brown was received
with open arms. Twenty days later
Samuel S. Brown died. During those
20 days the deathbed will did not
come to light. Mrs. Browns friends
say that it was purposely hidden so
that she would know nothing about it
until it should be too late. The mil.
lionaire died. surrounded by his fam

bedside.
Will Kept Secret.
Never were greater efforts made to
keep a will from becoming public. 1t
was filed secretly. The authorities
were ordered to keep 1t secret and
meekly complied. The family lawyer
furnished an extract to the newspa-
pers. but all reference to either of the

curt rejoinder when pressed for an eX-

But the New York Sunday Worlds
correspondent in Pittsburg made
things SO interesting for all concerned
that finally the entire contents of the
will were made public as provided by
law.
Then the storm broke. The feud
became public property. Promptly
there came a demand from the officers
of the Mary Brown church that Miss
Lowis resign her position in the Sun
day school.

The church had Mr.. Browns $70,-
