His knowledge of the financial condi-

ALL NEWS INTEREST IS
 CENTRED IN POLITICS

New York state will be the storm cen ter of the closing week of the political campaign. Both the republican and dem- ocratic presidential nominees will tour the state and some of the ablest speakers at the command of the national committees have been assigned to participate in the battle for votes. With the exception of a brief speech in New Haven, Conn.,. MT. Taft, the republican candidate for Pres ident, will spend the entire week within the Empire state. MT Bryan will devote four days to New York, and on Friday will enter Ohio, which like New York has place in the doubtful column. h. diana, another uncertainty, will be toured by MT. Bryan on Saturday, the democratic candidate closing the weeks campaign ing with night speech in Chicago.
 James s. sherman has a weeks cam paign outlined in New York state, while the plans of John W. Kern, who had ex- pected to devote the week to speech. making in Indiana, depended upon the condition of his son, whose illness com pelled MT. Kern to abandon his tour at Syracuse last week, and hasten home.
 Members of President Roosevet's cab inet will take an active part in the weeks campaign. Secretary of State Root will speak tn Ohio and New York; Postmas- ter General Meyer in Ohio, Maryland and New Jersey; Secretary of War Wright fin Virginia and Maryland; Secretary of the Navy Metcalf in West Virginia: At torney General Bonaparte in New York; Secretary Cortelyou in New York, and Secretary of the Interior Garfield in Ohio.

BENEFITS OF STRETCHING.
Declared to Be Splendid Exercise TOT
 All Men.

From the New York Press.
 Stretching is good exercise. When a man cannot wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning and take a good stretch he ought to kick himself into some sort of comprehensibility A wig orous stretch in bed or out of 1t is cal culated to excite all the nerves, muscles, veins and arteries of the entire system, thereby stimulating the heart action and enlivening the dormant brain. You may not know that the brain sleeps. It re- quires a stirring up. All the cords and tendons on the body need rest. They need awakening also. All the vitals must be aroused. Stretching Is first-rate arous- CT. h-stretch-stretchi
 I do not believe in strenuous exercise It overstrains the fragments. Besides, 1t is not needed by active men. Athletes are short-lived. They are so crazy to out do each other in all sorts of foolish per- formances that their systems break down. Most of them drift into consumption. Look up the records While Dr. Joseph Moves King advocates the use of the horizontal bar, he is not too radical. His house Is
 
 able of sustaining a weight of 300 pounds. When not used for stretching they hold up curtains and portieres. Every one in the house stretches. There Is no such thing as walking under a bar without reaching up for grasp and stretch The immense power of the gorilla and, in fact, of the whole monkey tribe, is derived from the horizontal bar activities of the forest, swinging from bough to bough with one hand or both.
 Some men are wondrous strong of arm. Others have supreme strength of back, others of neck, others of thigh, others of calf, etc. Some have muscles like knots, some have them long and stringy. Give me the long muscled man every time for endurance. The monkey is deficient In leg. He walks but little and seldom runs. He does most of his travelling by means of his arms and tail. the latter being his sixth sense. It is billion pities man lost his prehensile caudal appendage. It would aid him immensely as a strap-hanger. He could hold his newspaper In both hands while hanging by his tail, carry a lot of bundles in his feet, and be semi-comfort- able.

 A bogus peerage," which is being pub iished in Paris, ought to be amusing read ing for those who are not in 1t. It Is being edited by one of the most caustic and wittiest writers in the Parisian press, and he touches sarcastically upon many copies in the volume. It will profess to contain a complete list of bogus titles in France, with all particulars of the per sons who use them. This should make interesting reading for the American col ony, at any rate, especially as 1t goes into minute details, and even includes every one who unjustifiably puts ''de' before bis or her name. The appearance Of the volume may be awaited with qualms by those concerned; or 1t may not, for as matter of fact everybody who Is any body knows already the sham handles to names from the real ones, and nobody IS taken in, least of all the self-styled mo- bles' best friends, and nobody seems to mind.

HUSB BANDS
Are a Natural Product of Most Civil
 ized Countries.

From Success Magazine.
 Husbands are the natural product of most civilized countries. They are plentiful in most of the United States of America, being scarcest in Utah and Massachusetts, where each lady owns but fraction of husband, or none at all. Those owning no more than a morbid interest in husband are called old maids.
 Although the best husbands in this country are acknowledged by experts to be indigenous to the soil, those com manding the highest market prices are the imported varieties, because of their expensive labels. The Crown brand brings the largest figure.
 The husband is a wary and elusive

Missed the Point.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 General Sheridan used to take delight in telling the following:
 "A young man seated at dinner one time said to his wife:
 Ellen, if you are good at guessing, here is a conundrum for you. If the devil should lose his tail where would he go to get another oneT' z After some time spent in guessing she gave 1t up.
 We'll said he, where they retail spirits
 Eager to get it off, she hastened to lady friend with:
 Oh, Marian, I have such nice con- undrum. Joe just told me of it. I know you can't guess it. If the devil should lose his tail where would he go to get an- other one?

 There Is a tradition to the effect that the earliest husband-catcher was a clumsy contrivance made of fine hand-sewing attached to spinning wheel, decorated with house-made pre- serves put up in sirup of sweet dis position and sealed in commons jars.

There are more than 57 varieties of husbands at large and in captivity, but they are broadly classed as good and bad by tfteir re- spective owners or keepers called wives.

MAGNESS AND WIFE
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, October 25.-Charles Jospeh Magness, the alleged naval de- serter, who was arrested in Louisville, and his wife. formerly Miss Ada Cor man, daughter of the late Senator German, arrived in this city over the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad this aft ernoon. They were guarded by two Louisville detectives who are charged with the duty of delivering Magness to the naval authorities at the League Island navy yard, Philadelphia, some time tomorrow.
 MT. and Mrs Magness and the de- tectives were driven to a hotel, where accommodations were engaged for the night, but they were no registered.
 It is stated that Mrs. Magness de- clared 1t her purpose to find Secretary of the Navy Metcalf, with view of urging clemency for her husband. It is also said that she will make an effort to see President Roosevelt for the same purpose.
 At the home of the secretary it was said that MT. Metcalf had retired for the night at an early hour. and that he had received no visitors.
 Magness expressed the belief that he would not have to serve any time for having deserted his ship. but would get off with "bob tail' discharge, with out character and the forfeiture , of all pay and allowances.
 Mrs. Magness will spend tomorrow in Baltimore, 1t is said, endeavoring to enlist prominent Marylanders and oth- CTS in her husbands behalf.
