A Washington dispatch says the re-
publican scrap for the presidential
nomination will settle down to a fight
between Cannon and Taft. Picture to
yourself that pair clad in sprinting
toys ready for the race-One\a cluster
of whiskers, the other a mountain OF
avoirdupois. Such race will at least
constitute genuine amusement as a
preliminary to the final contest in No.
vember when Bryan will be elected
president.

Be a Booster.

Here is some splendid logic from
the Rockford Star: Boosting is a
slang word that fits admirably into
American speech. There is no other
that quite conveys the meaning.
"The word Jolly is another bit OF
collCquialism used in its way. But
there is wide difference between a
jolly and boost To jolly is to fiat
ter. To boost is to put forth a sincere
effort. The jollier uses his lips only
The booster acts from his heart. The
latter is sincere. He believes, there

The Child in Man.

A woman, when the first exuberance
of youth is over. is apt to become
deadly serious, says an English writer
She ceases to believe in the fun in
life, and loses all relish for play. A
man remains at heart a big child, and
In consequence honestly enjoys the so
ciety of children. A father is re-
freshed by a romp with his little ones,
a mother is usually tired by it. She
may be her boys and girls guardian
angel, friend, comforter, but is only
rarely their playmate. l think women
lose much when they lose this capacity
for play Without it they are unable
to throw off the burden of their cares
as a man does, and to enjoy the good
of the present moment, careless of the
worries that are past or the worries
that may be in the future
