pEMOCRATICH HOPE sIDETRAcKED
Taft and Foraker Shoulder to shoul-
der for Republican Principles.


Another Democratic hope has been
sidetracked. That was that United
States Senator Foraker would not sup
port the Taft candidacy, and would
thus impair his chances of carrying the
State Of Ohio.
The two big Ohioans fittingly met
at the G.. A. r. reunion in Toledo, and
publicly and good-naturedly cast what
differences may have existed between
them to the air.
Mr.. Taft's contribution to the treaty
OF peace was as follows:
at Is a pleasure for me to be here
with Senator Foraker, because when
governor Of Ohio he gave me my first
chance and took a good deal of risk in
putting a man Of % on the bench OF
the Superior Court Of Cincinnati. We
are about to enter-or rather have EN-
tered-a great oratorical campaign. II
Ia a pleasure to think in this presence
that we are going to stand In the
campaign shoulder to shoulder, with
the full strength OF the n~,,u-lican
party"
In response Senator Foraker denied
that enmity had existed between Mr..
Taft and himself. and said:
"Under the circumstances I hope
may be pnrdoned II I say here IN this
pressnce-the first time l have had
opportunity to say it-that there Is not
now and SO far as I know there never
has been the slightest Ill feeling Of any
kind between Mr.. Taft and myself.
III there is anything I have q right
to claim beyond another, 1t Is that |
I'm Republican three hundred and sixty.
i've days in the year. l have my pref
erences sometimes as to who should
receive the honors Of the party, and
everybody generally finds out what they
arc. But l am one Of those old-fash-
Toned Republicans who settle every such
question at the convention. When the
Chicago convention nominated Mr.. Fart
70 nc the Republican candidate f. the
Presidency this year. that instant he
became my leader. lie has been my
sStaC SNSi oAhNNs ~ ~ 49,
leader until the polls close on the night
Of the election"
Mr.. Foraker followed with an est
mate Of Judge Taft's fitness for the
ef1ce he seers by repeating what Bishop
Tallows had said before him.
II want to repeat it." he said. that
his experience OH the bench, In the
Philippines. as Secretary Of War. IN
the construction Of the Panama Canal,
In all the positions he has filed. has
been such as to qualify Mr.. Taft al
most beyond every other man for the
Presidency. We are going to elect him,
and II he does not make a success OF
It, 1t will be his own fault"
Senator Foraker followed this state
nent with Z review Of his early &C
Quaintance with Judge Taft, and the
favorable impression he then gained OF
him.

&c Perfectly poIsED MIND.
To Attain It, One Must Rise to Higher
Realm Of Thought and Feeling.

People who would attain exquisite
mental poise must dive between the
whitecaps and the waves on the sur
face Of thought, down into the depths
Of their beings, where there is eternal
calm which no mental tempest can
disturb
A perfectly poised mind must be IN
frequent communication with the d.
vine. Dwelling upon human qualities
will never bring that perfect mental
balance, that divine serenity, which
makes mere physical beauty unattrac-
tive in comparison.
There is a sweetness, ripeness, q
divine something about a serene mind
which eludes analysis, but which we
all feel. No wealth can compare with
the benign, satisfying influence which
radiates from an exquisitely poised
personality.
Smoe OF our best observatories are
built upon mountain tops. SO that the
great lens which sweeps the heavens
may not be obscured by the dust, ths
dirt, the mists floating in the atmos-
phere.
In order to shut out the din, the ter
rible noises which distract the mind;
in order to shut out the thousand and
one disturbing influences in our siren
uous life, the things which warp and
twist and distort US. It is necessary
to rise into the higher realm OF
thought and feeling. whore we can
breathe a purer air, get In closer
touch with the diYine.-Success.

TOMMY AS GOOD As a CHART.
Nurse Had No Trouble Remembering
Time for His Medicine.

A Boston physician tells story of a
youngster OF his own that an over
strenuous vacation had put on the sick
list. The father had an appropriate
prescription filed, and left the bottle
with the childs mother. AS she, how
ever, is very forgetful, he gave her a
chart, and suggested that she set down
the hours when the medicine should
be given, checking off each dose as
taken. Upon returning from his even
ing calls, however, he found the chart
blank.
Good gracious, Mary" he exclaimed;
surely you haven't failed to give Tom
his medicine?"
"Oh, no. l did not miss a single
time" his wife assured him.
How in the world did you remem-
Der it without the chart?" he asked.
She smiled.
THAT was easy just told Tom this
morning at what hours he was to have
II, and half an hour before each time
he would begin hallooing that he
wouldn't take IT,"

him to take his medicine and then jumI
into bed and he won't do 1t. He just
hops round, and says he doesn't want
to take the medicine and he doesn't
want to go to bedl"
Mr. Drayton stepped to the door OF
Bobby's room and stood there, tall,
grave and impressive.
Bobby" he said, firmly, If you
don't take your medicine at once, and
then jump into bed, you win be put to

Upon which Bobby, alarmed and con-
fused, swallowed his allotted portion

One Of the curious things that men
of science have discovered in their
innumerable efforts to measure and
map the earth with the least possible
error, is the fact that there are places
where the direction of a plumb line
is not vertical Irregularities of den
sity in the crust OF the globe may pro
duce this phenomenon.
A remarkable instance has been
found in the island of Porto Rico,
where the deviation from the vertical
is so great that in mapping the island,
the northern and southern coast lines
as shown on the older maps, had each
to be moved inward half a mile.-Il-
