THE FORAKER political
SENSATION

The letters read oy ma" I've
Hearst in Columbus, Ohio, last
Thursday night, charging Senator
]. B. Foraker with accepting
money from the Standard oll
Company, have created cons'srna-
ton in the Republican camp. Seh'
ator Foraker endeavored TO break
the force of the New York editors
charge, but his explanations are
unsatisfactory to many in his own
marty. The letters made public.
we,s written to the Ohio Senator
bv John D. Archbold of the Stand
ard Oil Company, advising him OF
remittances of $4,000 and $l4''
500 and another of $4,000, and
calling his attention to certain
bills which had been introduced In
Congress and the Ohio Legislature
and which should be defeated.
Newspaper opinion runs practi'
cslly all one way on the exposure
of Senator Foraker's relations with
the Standard Oil Company. Inc
consensus of view, usually accom-
panied with expressions OF regret
is that the Senator's political use
fuInsss 10 at an snd. A few jour
mails seek to palliste Mr.. Forakers
course. The Boston Herald, Tor
instance thinks the Hearst charges
will not hurt the Senator's reputa-
t,on and refuses to "believe that
a man who has commanded resp|cr
and admiration by his indepen-
dence and his courageous adner-
ence to principle, even at seeming
personal sacrifice, would sell DIS
birthright." The Ohio State
Journal, remarking that some
neutrality-suspicious. of the transac'
t,ons in question is desirable, says
by way of excuse that "thsSe re,
lations existed before the essential
injustice of sucr a course on the
part If public servant was as Iu'
ly realized as it is now. In'
Cleveland Plain Dealer plainly de-
clares that "whatever the legal
ethics of Mr.. Foraker's conduct
the people of Ohio can no longe
desire him to misrepresent them II
the United States Senate"
In the independent press crit
cism is more outspoken. The New
York Times, in scathing article
saws: "Only fiendish partisan

BEGINNING OF HER LIFE's WORK
Breaking the FllIy for the First Time
to Harness.

She was very young to be tried
out In harness. but her trainer was
holding the ribbons over her never
theless. She was rearing and plung.
ing all over the place, as far as the
checked lines would allow her to go,
and her little shoes paved the air and
tried to dig into the concrete for all
they were worth. And half dozen
rail birds" watched the trial trot,
never taking their eyes off her and
looking daggers at anyone who got
between them and the young one.
She happened to be as pretty little
twoyear-old lassie as one would find
in the FIVE boroughs and was dressed
IN big fioppy white hat with little
Jacket and skirt Of white and red. Her
little legs were covered with white
stockings and her tiny feet with tan
colored ankle-strap shoes. Her moth
er kept her safely in spite Of her gurg'
ling plunges toward the edge OF the
subway platform, by the aid of a stout
set of red and white harness, with
silver bells on the breast strap, that
the child wore. And six ablebodied
men stood around the lassie in a ring
watching her and wearing the cheer
fullest grins you could have seen In al
the town She had begun her lifework
of making victims.-New York Press

False hair was first regularly worn
In England by Queen Elizabeth, who
had upward of so wigs of different
kinds for her private use, After her
death a few women adopted the
French fashion of wearing wigs; but
1t was not until the Restoration that
wigs, or more correctly speaking, peri
wigs, came to be extensively worn by
the sterner sex. These were intro
duced In the court of Louis XIV,
where a natural head of hair was not
considered sufficiently luxuriant for
the artificial tastes of the times The
term "periwig" is corruption of the
French perruque.
Wigs were originally adopted not
as a remedy for badness, but in the
interest of personal cleanliness. The
laws of ancient Egypt compelled all
males to shave the head and beard
This explains why turbans were moi
worn by, the Egyptians, the bushy
artificial hair being regarded as suf
fcient protection against the heat o.
the sun. The Romans, on the con
trary, wore wigs because they were
naturally bald.-Sunday Magazine.
