A jolly Memory Game,

Arrange ten or dozen articles On a
table and place very clearly marked
number beside each one. Then call in
your company and give them just one
minute to the second for observing the
articles and numbers.
Then they must return to the other
room and try to write down the arti-
cles in the order they were arranged,
numbering each properly.
At first it will be most difficult for
most players to remember everything
and every number, but with practice
they will find they can depend on their
memories more and more.
1t is one Of the very best games for
the family to play. If father Or mother
complains of failing memory recon-
mend it to them. It will really benefit
them, just as some form of calisthenics
will benefit their stiffening muscles.

This is gardening made easy.
Each Of the players is asked in turn
what was planted in his garden and
what came up.
Articles planted may be Of any de-
scription, but must come up plants of
some kind whose names have some
punning connection with the articles
planted-for example:
First Player-I planted ball, and it
came up rubber plant.
Second Player planted the United
States, and 1t came up motor carna-
ton Gear nation).
Third Player-I planted calendar,
and it came up dates.
Fourth Player-I planted ship, and
it came up a dock.
Fifth Player-I planted an old coat,
and it came up frs (furs).
Sixth PlayerI planted watch, and
1t came up o'clock.
Seventh Player-I planted a pert
young miss, and she came up wall

Eighth Player-I planted some steps,

Leaves Of Desert Plants.

There is very good reason for the
lack Of leaves in desert plants. The
object is to check the TRANSPORTATION Of
moisture by offering as small a sur
face as possible to the dry air. For
the same reason the roots Of desert
plants usually run deep into the soil
so that they can suck up all the avail
able moisture. In some instances the
leaves assume vertical position and
thus avoid the direct rays of the burn
ing desert sun. On the other hand, the
leaves Of trees in very wet countries
are provided with points, such as the
maple, from which the rain drips of.
Were the leaves fatter thezrain would
collect and make them rots

SOME HISTORY.

It is an exceedingly interesting bit
| of political history-not entirely new
to some, perhaps, but very pertinent
| Just at this time-that is recalled by
the washington Star. Whether the
present talk of a conspiracy against
the president or his policies has any
considerable foundation, says the Star,
| sit is yet a fact that such a conspiracy
did exist in the winter of 1904, and
continued we'll into the spring of the
| latter year. 1t was aided and abetted,
| too, by many of the same influences
now under accusation, and New York
was headquarters. The country was
secretly canvassed. Money for ex-
penses seemed to be plentiful. Exper-
fenced politicians were active. But
the scheme failed. 1t was bound to
fail. 1t was aimed not only at the
president but at the public welfare,
and the publication of what was afoot
knocked the conspiracy sky high.
''Mr. Hanna was the hope of the
! gang. He had been acclaimed as the
power behind the throne during the
Mckinley years until in certain quar-
| tiers he had come to be accepted as the
master of the whole Republican situa-
ton. The fact that he was a business
man recommended him to those who
were maneuvering for a new deal.
Mr.. Hanna undoubtedly knew of
the movement, but whether ne en-
couraged 1T and believed it possible of
success is a question. If he did it
was his one signal evidence of politi-
cal shortsightedness. Mr.. Roosevelt
was impregnable. He was at once the
master and the logic of the hour. The
Republican party could no more have
turned him down without turning over
the country to the opposition than it
could have converted the moon into
green cheese. When the New York
gang finally saw this, they backed out
after an awkward fashion, and the
majority fell in behind Mr.. Roosevelt,
and were glad to support him as
against the hodge-podge combination
that was supporting Judge Parker"
THE only difference between that
situation and the present one" con-
cludes the Star, sis that Mr. Roose-
welt was then an avowed candidate to
succeed himself, and now he is not AS
far as his open declaration can make
it so, the field for next year on the Re
publican side is open, and as a result
the friends of several prominent Re-
publican leaders are active in behalf of
their respective favorites. But the
policies for which Mr.. Roosevelt
stands-and particularly his rail-
road policy-are still before the peo-
pie, and, SO far as may be gathered
from public expressions. are still ap-
proved by the people. Talk about re-
action is nonsense. If the Republican
party next year should adopt what
might properly be characterized a re-
dictionary platform it would go to GER
tain and overwhelming defeat The
voters will never consent that this
country be characterization un-
der anybody's leadership.
THE president and his party are
fortunate in their New York opposf-
ton. Its character is well understood
throughout the country, and alleged
tipsy banqueters can add but little to
the general information"

TAFT.

The opening gun in the contest be-
tween Senator Foraker and Secretary
Taft for the control Of the Ohio dele
cation in the next Republican nationa
convention has been fired. and fol
several months the fight will be hot In
the Buckeye state.
Kansas will watch that contest with
deep interest, hoping always for the
success of the big secretary. But
| Senator Foraker has the political ma
| chinery of the state behind him. He
controls the party organization He
is an adroit politician, shrewd and
capable. He has his lieutenants every
where. and the corporations with their
tremendous power will support him.
Likewise will every manufacturer who
desires the tariff to aid him in holding
up the people, for Secretary Taft has
declared himself for tariff revision.
Taft, however, has the people as a
whole on his side, and this is supple
mented by the influence of Theodore
Roosevelt. the strongest personality in
the country. The reception of Taft's
speech at Akron two years ago when
he advocated independence in politics
sufficient to overthrow a corrupt ma
chine, shows that he has a great fol-
lowing and a strong hold on public
sentiment. 1t is now a question of
crystallizing that sentiment and or
ganizing it to combat the organized
forces of the Foraker machine.
Kansas is for Taft. not only because
President Roosevelt is for him. but
because of the fidelity and ability with
which he has handled great problems
of government. Secretary Taft is not
a brilliant orator, but he is a great
executive who accomplishes results.
More that that, he stands for Roose-
velt's policies and for the things the
people want. On the federal bench he
was recognized as one of the ablest
judges of the country. Taken from
the bench, he was sent to the Philip
pines, where he brought order out of
chaos in a remarkable manner. That
done, he was placed in the presidents
cabinet, where he has ably met some
of the most difficult problems with
which the government has had to con-
tend.
1t is said that Secretary Taft himself
Is indifferent to his presidential boom,
but he is pushed forward by his
friends. President Roosevelt is for
him, and that in itself is enough of a
voucher for Kansas, even If his great
executive ability and his stand for
what the people want were not so we'll
