Something Of Joke on the Late
Henry Ward Beecher

Among the financial friends Of the
great preacher was one old broker IN
New York--an aggressive Unitarian.
which sect he often said bore tho
trade mark Of honesty" One day he
met Mr.. Beecher hurrying toward
Wall street ferry to avoid the down
pour OF a sudden rainstorm.
Take my umbrella" said the
broker Il don't need It; the coming
bus takes me to my door"
At the ferry Mr. Beecher met lady
prominent church worker OF . sister
church, who, having no umbrella, was
lamenting her inability to reach her
car safely. The urbane preacher
forced the umbrella upon her as he
said: II viii be out your way to-morS
row and viii call and get It,"
Two hours later as Mr.. Beecher was
sitting in the old arm chair in his
study the doorbell rang and when he
responded to the call boy hurriedly
presented him with an umbrella, to-
Gether with an unsealed note, which
read:
Dear Mr.. Beecher-My husband.
Mr.. NJ, demands that return the
umbrella you so kindly loaned me at
once. and Join him in saying that I'M
der the circumstances the pleasure Of
an anticipated call Is unregretted.
Upon opening the umbrella you will
become more fully advised OF our
united action"
The great expounder Of truth and
honesty was Mortified when upon
opening the umbrella he discovered a
pasted slip upon which was written in
a bold round hand: "Stolen by some
Presbyterian thief"

"Just the very best boy in all the

WHY J. d. ROCKEFELLER
WOULD VOTE FOR TAFT

NEW YORK, October 29.-John D.
Rockefeller, president af the Standard
Oil Company, gave out an interview
today telling why he intended to vote
for Taft for president. He said: Il
support Mr. Taft because, on compar-
ing him personally with Mr. Bryan, his
chief opponent, find the balance of fit
ness and temperament entirely on his
side. The election of Mr.. Taft, be-
lieve, makes for law and order and
stability of business. He is not a
man, 1 judge, to adventure with rash
experiments or to impede a return to
prosperity by advocating measures
subversive of industrial progress.
1T can not be said that the present
administration has in any way what
ever favored the special interest to
which my life has been devoted"

PRISONERS ARE
TREATED WELL NOW

The difference in the manner in
which the Territorial prisoners are
being treated at the present time from
that in which they were treated in 1862
is well shown in a report which High
Sheriff Henry happened to be looking
into when called on by a Star reporter
this morning. He ran across an en-
try reading as follows:
KIM, one of the poi cooks, reed
four lashes with a cowhide this morn
ing and his head was shaved for smok-
ing and having tobacco on him.
Under the present system when the
men are not busy at work they are
allowed to smoke and the tobacco is
brought to the Jail for them by their
friends outside. On holidays the
High Sheriff himself has made GUS
tom of personally buying tobacco to
give to the prisoners who have neither
friends nor money.
