TAFT AND SHEER MAN.

The republican national convention
in Chicago named a strong ticket in
Taft and Sherman. The ticket has
the right ring. 1t sounds belligerent

Indeed one may say It is winning

est states In the Union, both of which
have been doubtful In the past, hut
which this year will march together
toward victory Mr.. Taft represents
the liberal and advanced ideas which
have found recent favor in all parts
of the country, while Mr.. Sherman
stands for the great business interests
OF the nation which have their foun-
tain head and their headquarters in
we'll balanced ticket in every sense OF
the term, and one that will appeal Il
all classes OF our people In all parts
Of the land.
Concerning the republican candidate
for the presidency of the United states
the public is already well Informed as
regards the chief events OF his varied
and active public career. Some of his
chief characteristics and qualifications
for the high office for which he has
been named as the candidate of 4
great party, however, would seem tc
demand additional attention at this
time. The mere fact that Secretary
Taft stands for the policies which have
become so popular with the people
during the administration of President
Roosevelt would alone win him a high
degree of popular favor, but he IS a
big man In every other way as wei
as physically. In respect to brain:
and character, which are the chief es.

A GREAT EDITOR.

The name of John Delane stands ont
prominently in recent neurology, Yet he
was neither statesman nor poet. painter
nor sculptor. He was for half a century
editor OF the London Times, yet ne vas
not himself a writer. Indeed. his mot
to-" says Harpers Weekly, was never
to do anything himself that others could
do for him. But his personality was OF
a sort that radiated power. After an a~-
erage healthy hoyhood he found himself
in Printing House Square, and at the
age OF little over twenty-three he became
editor Of the Times. BY Jove! I am
editor OF the Times" ne exclaimed 10
some one shortly thereafter. But very
soon he was the Times He dominated
his paper by force OF ability and person
atty rather than by constant presence.
Yet this giant. too, had his sorrows, MS
the rest OF us. He writes. some time
after the death OF his mother Nobody
now cares about me or my success, or
my motives and that WEAKNESS OF life
had long felt has been gaining on me
ever since. Il have much to be thank
ful for, (buU have become so Indifferent
to life weary both OF work and idle
ness, careless about society and with
falling interest. "

Of the United States For those who have
read Secretary Tafts speeches, the
above statement sums up the whole his
tory OF Thursdays proceedings Of the

tional platform has been almost COM
petely outlined in the various speeches

try during the preliminary campaign

vleges; declares for sound finance

4 SKELETON IN THE CLOSET,

The clever wife OF n rising young
physician. who had been much pestered
by peddlers and house-to-house agents
and canvassers. recently took an unusual
but efficient method to rid herself Of an
especially intrusive and persistent spec.-
men.
Her husband was out. and she had
taken her sewing into his office to hs
near the telephone. The peddler. when
she went to the door, pushed by her into
the room, declined to leave when she
ordered him to do So and with a man
ner at once cringtng and insoent. urged
her to purchase articles for which she
had no use. She was annoyed, and at
last n little alarmed.
Suddenly she remembered the cabinet
In which Tommy" was kept. Tommy
was the family nickname for skeleton
sometimes used by the doctor; an ad.
mirably-mounted specimen. and skill
fully adjusted that on opening the cah-
net doors which were released by pull
ing cord-it swung forward automoti-
cally for more convenient inspection.
Quietly securing the end Of the cord, she
addressed the peddler:-
GO at once-this instant, II you don't
shall call for help
He still fingered. cajoling and insisting
Tommy called the woman, loudly,
please come and put this fellow OUT
| She pulled the string. Tommy, bonv.
grisly and terrifying. sprang suddenly to
view. and the peddler. with one hair
raising yell. dropped his basket and hed
At the same moment the doctor. who

wifrs triumphant mirth But 9 their
laughter abated. they realized that the

a tail, lean. keenfaced young man threw
long coat loosely over his shoulders

WHEN THE TIMBER SUPPLY GIVES

What are houses going to be made
That IL question which,in these days
of disappearing forests. cannot be dis
missed as academic" There Is no bet
ter proof OF the reality OF the de
struction OF the Forest OF which so
much has been heard recently. than
the outlay necessary for even a sim
pie frame dwelling. In the short period
Of ten years tho cost Of homo has
increased from 80 to 60 per cent. &C
Of lumber supply CIR in a thickly
settled section far away from the
woods.
Government experts have covered
the country with their Investigations
and they report that the time Is not
far off when the country's timber will
be gone. This means that other things
must be found to takv tho place OF
wood. The United States government
has established laboratories ut various
centres. for the purpose Of testing
all sorts Of structural materials. The
results OF these tests are published
from tinre to time. and in this way en-
gineers. architects and contractors
are informed as to the capabilities OF
the materials.
Only within the last year or two has
general interest in the diminishing
timber supply been aroused. The re-
cent conference OF governors. called
by President Roosevelt. was due
chiefly to the report of the official
Forester. clifford Pinchot, to the
President. To the condition which
made the conference necessary may
be traced, also, the invention Of novel
building materials. Ono example of
this is Edison's unique idea OF max
ing huge moulds and pouring concrete
into them--"houses made while YOU
watt" but nobody has yet been bold
enough to put this idea into practice
Then there ara other forms OF con
crete and cement which have beer
proposed, all more o. less in the ex
perimental stage at present
Thus there is n constant attemp
to employ for building the only sub
stance OF which the supply is unlimit
ed. the soil OF the earth itself Els
pecially Is this so in and near thu
big cities. where the scarcity o
timber and the consequent high price
are felt most seriously, for here tn
difference in price between a franz
house and a house of more solid mat
erial Is SO small as TO be unimpor
tant.
Illustrative Of the general tendenc,
to md substitutes for wood is tn
suggestion OF Mr.. Herbert NJ. Wilson
OF tho United states geological sur
vcy. that scientific Investigations int
tho properties Of clay be undertaken
