the fore as perhaps Mr.. Taft's most
important rival for the Republican
nomination. Mr.. Knox has the repu-
tation of conservatism, and not being
out of favor with the nations big
financial interests despite the part he
took in the trust prosecutions on the
Roosevelt administration will get
strong support from those who oppose
Mr.. Roosevelt's radical policies, and
it is not out of question that some day
Mrs. Philander C. Knox may be the
lady of the White House. .
Should this ever come about, she
will bring unusual qualifications to
the task.
Senator and Mrs. Knox are one of
the youngest looking couples in pub
lie life, and jokes about their juvenile
appearance are plenty. Mrs. Knox is
short in stature, but her distinguished
husband is only five feet seven inches
tall, and they make an excellently
matched couple.
The wife of Vice President Fair
banks of Indiana is very well-known'
woman from her prominent connec-
ton with the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, whose president-gen-
eral she has been for several terms.

appetizing dishes were enumerated
on the card, among them shad, and
that was what for time disconnected
the man who did the writing. The
announcement read: "Shad, one-half
SO cents; whale, one dollar" Now the
western men, who, by the way, reside
in one of the principal cities of the
great lakes, were accustomed to the
famous white fish, trout and the like,
but desiring to partake of something
new, ordered whale" at the same
time nudging each other to observe
the effect on the man with the apron
and towel. He picked up the card
and after studying it for while broke
out into loud laughter. The hasty
penman had written whale" for
whole After declaring that in fu.
ture he would be more careful, he
passed the card back to be carried
away as a souvenir of the occasion.

MISTRESS OF WHITE HOUSE
Any of the Wives of Presidential Candidates Can Be
Relied Uoon to Preside With Dignity at
the White House.

American freemen are probably
going to have hard time to decide
on the right man for president, for in
the cluster of candidates Taft, Fair
banks, Hughes, KNOX, Bryan, Gray,
Cannon and Daniel, there is SO much
good material that it is hard to know
which to discard.
But if it is hard to discriminate be-
tween the men, how much more olll-
cult is it to decide which OF their
wives is best suited to preside over
the White House and be the first lady
of the land.
Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs.
Hughes. Mrs. Knox, Mrs. Bryan, Mrs.
Gray, they are all magnificent women,
fine specimens of the American wife,
who is the most powerful helpmeet
any man could have.
1t is significant Of the part that
woman plays in mans progress that
excepting Cannon: who is bachelor,
every one of the prominently men
toned candidates is noted for the
possession OF wife whose intelli-
gence and devotion have helped his
advance.
Even if the ballot is denied to her
woman thus has the satisfaction OF
knowing that she does much to equip
the various incumbents for the high
est place in the nations counsels.
Mrs William H. Taft, wife of The
big secretary Of war, who stands for
the Roosevelt policies and is conceded
to have something Of lead on TIE
other candidates, is very domestic i'll
her tastes.
Mrs. Taft is girlish in appearance,
frank and vivacious, but possessing
all the needed dignity and poise for a
statesman's wife. She has a noted
memory and is mistress of the social
arts.
Since his Endorsement by the Penn
sylvania state convention, Mr.. Philan-
der c. Knox has come prominently to

RICH GRAFT in OLD GAME.
CoIored Men FL nd Dupes Among Their
Race in Washington.

The recent appearance in Washing
ton Of a husky individual who en-
gagged in the scheme of manufacture
ing to order on short notice, Free Ma
sons, Odd Fellows and members Of
several other secret organizations for
a consideration, recalled to the. mind
of. veteran newspaper man the ex-
periences of "get-rich-quick" fellow
of African descent who came here sew
'eral years ago on money-making bent.
He claimed to be the highest function
airy of a mythical organization which
had a high-sounding name, something
like 1.-THE Ancient and Honorable Or
der of the Amalgamated Sons of Ham
and Daughters of Raphael" His work
was among the poorer element of col
'ored people in the district, and he
'"worked' them early and often.
"Dis hyah ORDER" he was wont to ex-
plain, "circulates round de worl'. 1t
am composed of kings an queens,
and dere subjects. You kin go any
wl1ar an git work or money"
He also explained upon the death
of son of Ham or a daughter of Ra-
phael, their heirs would receive a
large sum of money, while weekly
stipend was allowed members when
they were i'll.
This Slick fellow had the front of
his coat decorated with great va
riety of brass medals, which he
claimed had been presented to him
by 'de crowned beds oh Eurip." One
of the bogus medals he said had been
pinned on his coat by 'sde he'd man
OBJ Chiny," who was~a high officer Of
the order, while 20,000,000 of his sub
jects paid toll to its Golfers.
The fellow initiated his victims in
their own homes, claiming that he
had a dispensation from the highest
officer SO to do. He was assisted by
colored woman whom he termed
Saint Lizzie" and was raklng In the
shekels' of the poor and Ignorant
dupes when Capt. John c, Daley, then
the fighting sergeant" Of South Wash,

into day and day afforded no time:
FOR any thoughtful pursuit. What
did the "quieter sort" do under these
circumstances?
They united to form. small and
friendly association whose meetings
were held. in private parlors. Re-
freshments were limited to tea and
its cOncOmitants or simple ices and
cake. A presiding officer, a small
committee charged with providing en-
tertainments, treasurer appointed
to receive and care for the very
moderate fees intended to cover the
expenses of correspondence and an
nouncement-these suficed for a
quarter Of century to keep the club
in running order.
The entertainments offered to this
assemblage were sufficiently varied
in character. Men of science kindly
lent themselves to the object held in
view and instructive talks on many
questions of natural history were
given and enjoyed. Under this head
mention might be made of a botan-
ical picnic, at which an expert in
that line of study led an adventurous
party into depths, of cliff and valley
to return laden with wild flowers,
which were duly dissected and ex
planned before an attentive audience

times brought lighter faculties into

"Most likely" agreed the tobacco
man. Hes probably afraid to fire you

which the eels recoil. A similar prin-
ciple is said to have been employed
from time immemorial by fishermen on
certain parts of the coast of Italy.
1t Is no new principle that Doctor
Fere Of the Bicetre Hospital in Paris
has made known in a recent article on
"Work and Repose," but 1t is not the
less worth repeating. He has made
many special experiments, and an
nounces as their general result that the
supposed value of various alcoholic
and other stimulants to increase physi-
cal and mental energy, and postpone
fatigue, 6r avoid the effects of fatigue,
Is illusory. There is only one form Of
effective, recreative repose-sleep and
sleep, in order to exercise its proper
power, must be natural. The sleep pro-
duced by narcotics is "a toxic sOmno-
lence having the appearance only Of
real reparative Sleep" But sleep itself
is a mystery concerning whose nature
we possess merely Hypothetical
knowledge"
Recent studies by Prof. Penek in the
Alps, combined with those of Hugo
Obermaier, distinguished pupil of
Penck, in the Pyrenees, have had the
effect of considerably shortening the
estimate of the length Of time that has
elapsed since prehistoric man left the
marks of his presence in Europe 1t
now appears that both in the Alps and
the Pyrenees there exist contemporary
geological records showing four sue
cessive periods of alternate advance
and retreat of glaciatiOn. Heretofore
it has been considered probable that
prehistoric men dwelt in the neighbor-
hood of these mountains during the
last two invasions Of the ice, but the
new evidence is regarded as proving
that 1t was only of the last, or fourth,
glacial advance that man was a living
witness.
