FORAKER wHAcKs THEM.
Gets After Roosevelt, Taft and Till

Gets After Roosevelt, Tart and Iiil-
man.
Bellefontaine, Ohio.-If a public
mans head escaped a crack at Sen
ator Foraker's hands recently it was
because the senator failed to see it.
Roosevelt and his big stick" Taft
and his presidential candidacy, Till
man and his race antipathies, and
Burton and his senatorial aspirations
received especial attention. Senator
Foraker has refrained thus far from
any direct reference to the talk of
Taft as a presidential possibility. In
dis speech here tonight he made it
clear that he not only proposes to
fight vigorously for his own political
life, but will do all in his power to
see that Taft fails of the presidential
nomination.
"The big stick" he said, won't
work with any free born American.
nor will it do any good to sugar it
with postoffice job"
Then he turned to Taft. I'm not a
candidate for Office" he said, "but If
should be l would not get lockjaw
don't have to hold Office to live.
Secretary Taft is reported to have
said not longer than the day before
yesterday that he wanted tariff re-
vision. Former Governor Herrick said
he wanted it, too. l don't wonder.
Congressman Burton, who is said
to want my place in the senate, is
another who wants revision. 1 would
like to know where these men who
want to be candidates are to begin to
revise. They say Taft is going to
run for president. l understand he
has come to Ohio to make a speech at
Columbus. l hope he tells us how he
is going to revise the tariff. These
aspirants for office must take posi-
lions on the nations great problems
before l vote for them. I'm beginning
to be particular for whom l vote"
Then the senator turned to Tillman.
arguing that the 14th and 18th amend
ments to the constitution were made
necessary by the situation created by
secession. Men like Tillman and Var
daman do not voice the south's true
sentiments. Andrew Jackson, he re-
marked, and here by innuendo he
raped Roosevelt again, was one of
the presidents who believed executive
power everything, and undertook re-
construction without consulting the
congress.

a very striking correspondence betweeE
many of the spectral lines in the light
of that star and those observed in spots
on the sun. The conclusion seems to
be unavoidable, says Mr.. Adams, that
the physical conditions existing in sum
spots and in the atmosphere Of Arc
turus are nearly identical. A similar
study of the spectrum of the bright
star Betelgeuse, or Alpha Orionis,
shows that sun-spot lines are also
present there, but even more intense
than in Arcturus. 1t is inferred that
Arcturus is probably cooler than the
sun, and Betelgeuse cooler than Arc
turus.
An explanation of a curious optical
phenomenon sometimes witnessed on
frosty nights, which Is called the ''pseu-
do-aurora," is offered by an official of
the weather bureau. The phenomenon
takes the form Of beautiful columns of
silvery light standing over electric arc
lamps and other bright lights and
sometimes appearing almost to reach
the zenith. 1t Is said that sometimes
the evening star has a bright shaft be-
low as well as above, while the rising
moon stands in a broad column of light
These appearances are due to floating
frost crystals, which keep their reflect
ing faces horizontal. On examination
1t has been found that the crystals con-
cerned in the exhibition were thin, six
sided plates of ice, never more than
one millimeter in diameter. When the
wind blows these little plates were up
set, and the columns of light caused by
the reflection from their surfaces dis
appear.

Cowpens for Hogs.

Those living where they can success

the pigs into the field when the pods
begin to ripen. and they Will do the
harvesting. If the old hogs are pas
tured on peas, they need corn or some
other carbonaceous feed to give proper
balance, for they cannot utilize so much
protein as pigs. Try a patch Of cow

Hard Mouthed Horses.

Here is something of practical value
to anyone driving a horse that pulls
on the bit: Fasten a small ring to each
side of the bride and as near the
brow band as possible. Pass the lines
through the bit rings and snap them
Into the rings at the brow band. This,
with a common jointed bit, will enable
n child to hold a puller or hard mouth
ed horse with ease under almost all
circumstances. 1t can be used on

as desired. 1t is cheap and easily ap-

Ample scnh.

Experiments were carried on by the
Washington State Station for the pre-
vention of apple scab, In which trees
were sprayed with ordinary Bordeaux
mixture, and also dust Bordeaux. On
eighty-five trees, representing fifteen
varieties, sprayed with dust Bordeaux,
the average percentage of clean fruit
was 10 per cent, while on fifty trees
representing the same number of varle-
ties that were not sprayed the average
percentage Of clean fruit was per
cent. On the other hand. sixty trees
representing eight varieties that were
sprayed with liquid Bordeaux gave an
average Of 50 per cent clean fruit,
showing the evident superiority of the
liquid Bordeaux for the prevention of
this disease.

MRS. MINER GRANTED DIVORCE.

Justice Guy, Of the Supreme Court
of New York, last week signed a final
uecree in the suit brought by Mrs.
Mary Adelaide Yerkes- Miner for an
absolute divorce from ker husband
Wilson Miner. BY the decree Mrs.
Mizner is permitted 10 resume the
name Of Yerkes, and she may marry
again. Miner is forbidden to marry
during the lifetime of his former wife
MRS. Yerkes was the wife of the late
Charles T. Yerkes, the Chicago trac-
ton promoter.
It does not seem rigct to us that
Mrs. Yerkes should be permitted tn
grab into any kind of a man whenever
she feels that she wants and needs
one and at the same time prevents
her ex-hnsband from catching onto a
female whenever he wants to, for IL
appears to US that whatever Is sauce
for the goose is also sauce for the
Eander, and 1t is wrong to make flesh
OF one and fowl of the other.
