The Burlington (vt) Free Press. one of the strongest Republican papers in New England, gives a warning to the Taft men that is worth needing. IT. it says. 'by any chance we are to sup port Taft later ou ss second choiee' We sincerely hope his present sup porters will stop taoitly acknowledg= ing his inability to run alone ana in- creasing his weakness as a candidate at the polls by continually shouting that if you do not support Taft you will have to take Roosevelt There is little doubt that Taft's friends are injuring his prospects by virtually ad- hitting that he cannot run on his own merits.

There is a widow up in Kansas who surely has faith in prayer. She states that she has been praying ten years for a husband who would please both her and the Lord. and has at last found him. We fear the good woman Is just a little bit premature in her assurance. whether he will please her can only be certainly known after she has lived with him a sufficient time, and whether he will please the Lord cannot be known at all by any mere human intel ligence.

 If John A. Johnson can enter the Democratic National Convention sup ported by the States of Minnesota. New York. Iowa. Wisconsin. West Virginia. New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Is- land, and if Governor Douglas receives the united vote of Massachusetts and Maine. and George Gray Is given the votes of Delaware and Maryland, and Senator Daniel those of Virginia, 1t Is our sincere opinion that one or tha other of them will eventually be named for President by the Denver conven- tion.
 We say this with full knowledge of the fact that Mir. Bryan will probably have a majority of all the delegates on tho first bahot-but that he will not have the required two-thirds.
 If he lacks them, and if a subse- ouant discussion shows his points of weakness. we believe ne cannot in- crease his vote. but that each subse- auent ballot will show him weaker than he was at first--in other words, that he will suffer the same sort of defeat that befell Martin Van Buren In the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore in 1s44.
 It will be recalled that Van. Buren had clear majority on the first ballot there. but the two-thirds rule~-of which

Resort of Thieves Lovers and Sirens. Paris Edition London Mall.
 According to the reports submitted by keepers of Pere Lachaise the fa- nous Parisian cemetery is utilized for many other objects besides the burial place of weil-to-do families. It is a resort for thieves who steal the bronze and brass work which they take bit by bit from the tombs and hide in their pockets. It is also a hunting ground for collectors of curfos who armed with hooked sticks break the windows of the little chappels over the tombs and abstract small vases of silver and other precious gaeta.s.
 Women to make practice of steal ing wreaths of imitation pearls which they place under their dress and after wards sell to dealers as tnoir own make. The cemetery ie likewi isa the resort of sentimental lovers. When those seen kissing are very young the keepers take their names and commu- nicate with their parents. Thus is many school girls romance niped in the bud.
 sometimss seen weeping at the tomb of people in no way related to them. This is with an eye to the coming of a male consoler who eventually de- parts with thesuppoaed widow on his arm. For theso reasons and others 1t is though advisable to increase the number of keepers.
