FORAKER BEATEN,
TAFT MEN HOLD,
ARE NOT WORRIED
Declaration of lndepend-
ence AScribed to Con-
sciouSneSS of Defeat.

Senator Foraker's spirited announce
ment that he will not regard as binding
upon either himself or his friends any
action that may be taken by the Column
bus conference Of Republican State
leaders on Wednesday. is received with
indifference by friends of Secretary
Taft here. Even the possibility that
the conference may be called of. Is
viewed with unconcern by them, so con-
fident do they feel over the Ohio situa-
ton, so far as II concerns their cham
pion.
Foraker Beaten?
It is pointed out that the so-called har-
mony conference was not asked for by
friends Of Taft. The friends of the Sec
rotary Of War claim that II was, in
reality, an effort TO save Foraker by
attaching him 10 the Taft boom. AL
ready IL has been demonstrated, they
say, that a resolution indorsing Foraker
in the same breath with Taft would be
beaten in Wednesdays conference
They believe that Foraker himself has
at last realized this, and they charge
that this is the real reason for the
issuance Of his defiant statement last
night.
Taft Not in Deal?
Neither his threats nor appeals, de-
clare the Taft supporters. VIII suffice 10
induce them TO consent to a dual in
dorsement OF both Taft and Foraker al
Wednesdays meeting. From the first
Secretary Taft has insisted that his
candidacy for the Presidential nominal
ton should not be burdened by any bar
gain, deal. or compromise. He has
recognized that there exists In Ohio a
strong sentiment against Foraker and
| he does not desire TO be hampered by
having the Senatorial fight mixed uI
with his own campaign.

Politicians Needed Demand.

POntIc1dnS Needed Demand
When the demand for a pension from
every soldier who served ninety days
in the Union army became so insistent
that The Republican leaders could no
further ignore il the Senate called on
the Pension Commissioner for an esti-
mate for the probable cost Of such a
law. Commissioner Warner put his ex-
perts to work and after studying the
pension rolls and the mortuary records
they informed the Senate that an al
Iowa &c for Z34,e00 benefciaries would
be ample.
Three Glasses Provided.
This estimate was based on a propO-
sition TO give a pension 10 every sol
der sixty-two years old who had served
ninety days and received an honorable
discharge. Three classes where pro-
vided. one class included soldiers be-
tween the ages OF sixty-two and sew
enty 70 be paid So a month The second
class included veterans between seventy
and seventy-five who were 10 receive
SIS a month. Soldiers above seventy
five were 70 receive so a month.
Commissioner Warner estimated that
the cost OF the proposed legislation
would be sl5,OOO,000 year.
There were some skepticisTl among
members Of Congress regarding the ac-
! curacy OF these estimates. especially
the one covering the cost. Some mem
bers predicted that the service Law
would take S25.o00.O0O additional out OF
the Treasury and some even placed the
| figure higher. It was admitted on all
sides that the estimates were more or
! less speculative and were liable to prove
misleading
Yesterday, Total Vas s25,4I5.
Tho rate at which applications began
! pouring into the Pension Office after the
adoption Of the law sent cold chiIls
down the spines Of the officials who
| prepared The estimate OF the probable
number Of beneflciaries. Within a very
/ few days 10000 applications were on
hand Saturday the total number was

COLORADO LEADS IN DEER.
Thsg nutnumber the Cattle, Owing
to Rigid Game Law


to Rigid Game Law.
Colorado has more wild deer now
than any other State liz the Union.
There are as many wild deer In this
State as cattle. The laws protecting
them from the reckless and greedy STAY
ers have made a great increase in their
number and hunters who hare visited
their haunts this season make the most
enthusiastic reports.
w. S. Kincaid, general superintend-
ent of the fish hatcheries killed one of
the biggest bucks ever brought to Den
YER The animal weighed 80 pounds
There are eight points on one of its
horns and seven points on the other
c. L. McFadden, the taxidermist who
mounted the head, said it was the
largest he ever saw.
Ii. II. ZeitZ, who just arrived from a
hunting trip, said he saw over 200
bucks in the mountains about seventy
five miles northeast of Newcastle He
went past the Sleepy Cat mountains. In
Rio Blanco, Routt and Garfield coun-
ties the hunters say they never saw so
many deer before. In 1899, when the
body Of the game law went into effect,
the deer were scarce because they had
not been protected. Under th< first law
the open season lasted nearly three
months and this was not protection
enough. But in 1903 an amendment
was made shortening the open season
to xteen days, as 1t stands to-day. A
hunter Is allowed to XII! only one deer
and that must be a buck with horns
and at least one year old.
There is no open season at all on elk
and they are increasing rapidly in num-
bers too.-Denver Times

DO WOLVES EAT MENe
Most of the Yarns TO That Effect De-
cIared to BE Fakes.

Most OF the yarns 10 Thaf Enect de-
cIared to BE Fakes.
A skeptical person, calling himself
ST. Croix, has been trying to find out
whether wolves and bears are maligned
by the popular stories of their man
eating ways.
First he tried running down the sto-
ries told in newspaper dispatches. Foil
ed in this effort, he turned to the In
dians. They knew the gray wolf, hav-
Ing wintered and summered with him.
Had they ever known of an Indian be-
ing killed by one? N-no; but Mingan
was very crafty and very much to be
dreaded.
Quite so, but once for all, had he
ever to their knowledge killed a man?
No, but they had heard. So 1t
went; always the same intangible, I'M
of proof
NOW for few facts as to the WOLF"
writes st. Croix In Recreation. HE
can go eight days without food and
SAl1 IhCI cat LOlLy VI h1Cal at
a sitting, so the Indians say. This is
pretty fair for an animal weighing but
eighty pounds. Yet we do not know the
length of the sitting.
''The wolf will not venture on glare
Ice, he never crosses a lake until there
is enough snow to hide the Ice. To wet
ting his feet he is as averse as the do
nestle cat. He will not kill his game
in the shelter Of the forest, always
driving it into some open place for the
kill.
When chasing a deer he goes at
leisurely lope, sitting down at inter-
walls to give the most dolorous and
blood curdling bowls. This drives the
poor victim into a wild gallop and soon
exhausts 1t and as the wolf never tires
he is sure sooner or later to catch up
with the quarry.
I'm winter the deer often makes for
some wild rapid into which it plunges,
knowing that the wolf will not fol-
low. Too often the deer browns, but
better such a death than one by the
fangs
I'm summer a couple Of wolves will
secure all the deer they need by very
simple tactics. Having put up the
quarry, one wolf drives it by easy
stages to some little lake-I speak
now of the Laurentian country-and
on reaching the shore the deer plunges
unhesitatingly In. for its instinct tells
it the enemy will not dare to follow.
$50 on 1t swims. while the pursuer
sits on his launches and bowls dis
mally, no doubt because he sees his
dinner escaping. At length the tired
deer drags itself YEARLY from the wa
| ter, and shakes the drops from It's coat
| on the sun warmed strand. Then the
| companion wolf, which has waylaid its
coming, springs at It's throat and when
| the first wolf joins they have a gorge
that makes them independent of fate
| for a whole week.

die OF the seventeenth century the use
of the drug was widespread.
The origin Of opium has been told in
a picturesque manner by the Bengalis.
Their legend says that in the far-on
times there lived on the banks of the
Gauges a sage who had a mouse for
companion. The sage taught the mouse
to talk. Frightened one day by cat,
the mouse asked to be changed into a
cat. The sage complied. A dog worried
the cat, SO the sage made the cat a
dog. The dog became successfully an
ape, bear, an elephant, and finally
beautiful maiden, named 'Postomani,"
or "Poppyseed lady, A king fell In
love with the girl. When she told him,
after an ardent woolng, that she was a
princess, he married her. One day she
fell into a well and was drowned. The
king was disconsolate until he was in
formed by the sage that the girl had
deceived him, and was not princess,
but merely a risen mouse.
Let her body remain in the WELL
he advised. Fill up the well with
earth. Out OF her flesh will grow a
tree, which shall be called for her,
'Poso,' the poppy tree. From that tree
will come drug, opium, which
shall be smoked and eaten till the end
Of time. The opium swallower or
smoker will have one quality of each
of the animals to which Postomani was
transformed. He will be mischievous,
like a mouse; fond of milk, like cat;
or quarrelsome, like dog; filthy, like
an ape; savage, like a bear; and high
tempered, like queen" All the attri-
butes have been possessed by some
opium users and some Of them by all.
