Now that the season OF the humming
bird is here, and the tiny winged jewel
Is darling in and out among sweet
blossoms, 1t may be interesting to know
what some early observers of nature
thought in regard TO this least of feath-
cred beings. Two quaint observations
are published in Early Long Island"
by Martha Flint, both quoted from let
tiers of the seventeenth century, writ
ten from the new country Of America.
Says one:
The Humbird is one Of the wonders
OF the country, being no bigger than a
Hornet, yet having all the Dimensions
Of a Bird as bill, wings with quilts,
spider-like legges, small claws. For
Colour she is as glorious as the Raine
bow"
Adrian van der Donck, one OF the
Hollanders of Nieuw Nederlandt in
1642, writes Of a
Curious small bird concerning which
there are ~disputations whether it is a
bird or q bee. 1t seeks its nourishment
from flowers like the bee and is every
where seen RECALLING itself on the fow-
ers. In flying they make a hummlng
noise like the bee. 1t is only seen In
Nieuw Nederlandt in the season Of
flowers. They are very tender and
cannot be kept alive, but we press them

 THE PROCESS OF II
Events Preliminary to the Choice of a Republican Candidate.

Washington. Sept. 4.-(Special cor work of making the next republican candidate for president goes merrily on at the capital. President Roosevelt once told Alfred Henry Lewis. the writer. that it pleased him nightly to | know that the people thought he had a | good deal of the spirit of old Andy Jackson in him. President Roosevelt does not object to being called n sec ond Jackson. and to make the compar-
 ison more apt is going to repeat, if he
 can. Jackson's performance of picking out his successor. Jackson dominated
 the convention that nominated Van BureD. Roosevelt makes no secret of | his ambition to control the next na-
 tional republican convention and force
 the nomination of his secretary of war i-Taft.
 ! There is no doubt that MT Taft is a good man and weighs nearly 400
 pounds. but if any one thinks he is go- | ing to walk off with this nomination i without q fight he has another guess
 comig. There are men in the republic can party who believe that 1t will be next to impossible to elect Taft next
 year and they have q constitutional objection to seeing the republican pNr- | ty go out of power.
 It is no secret in Washington that
 most of NIT. Roosevelt's cabinet are against the Taft proposition. When not talking for publication they speak of the big secretary of war as mere echo They laugh at his Columbus 4sH- a. ss
 the keynote of" The president. some people believe. carefully edited the speech. if he didn't actually write it Those who know the Taft Of the rol- licking old office holding Ohio days, say there is nothing in the speech that sounds like Taft. However. Mir. Taft will go on his way to Manilla, prob ably taking a look in at Japan before returning to this country. In the
 mentime the president will keep busy
 making Taft sentiment. The govern ment cable to the Philippines will be kept busy. The country will hear that Taft has settled all the woes of our little brown brothers in the Pacific,
 met and pacified the Mikado. extended the warm hand of friendship to Russia, made arrangements to extend our trade into China-in fact acted as the general. all-round advance agent of | the Roosevelt policies in the far East. In the meantime if any office holder should get too busy looking after the
 interest of the favorite son of his par ticuar state, the president will remove
 him irstantly-as witness what hap
 pened to one of Mir. Roosevelt's men
 ials in Philadelphia. who suggested
 that the Philadelphia machine should
 get behind Senator Knox for president.
 It might as well be understood now as any other time, that President Roose-
 welt will not tolerate any pcrniciOus activity in public office unless it is displayed in behalf of Taft. If you are

The specifications were printed by The Republican at the time.
 Il was further proposed by the mal- contents to bring the matter before the national irrigation congress. after a conference held previous to the con- gress and later to memorialize the president and congress asking for an investigation of the service.
