Maria de- Medici

The tastes OF Marie de- Medici, wife
OF Henry ". OF France, were splendid.
and she INDUCED them to the full. One
of her collars Of venetian point was
alone worth the eyes out of 4 mans
head" and she had fine store Of
them. Describing her as she arrayed
herself on a typical occasion in cos.
tune of carnation satin, NJ. Batilfol. In
"The French Court In the Seventeenth
Century" continues as follows:
This arranged to her satisfaction,
her jewels. of which she has quantities
scattered in different cabinets, must
not be forgotten nor yet her ring. Her
gold bracelets, studded with seventy
two small diamonds. were purchased
from Francois lie Prestre. jeweler of
Paris. for 1.0J0 livres Her earrings
two great diamonds surrounded by
lesser brilliants, were made by the
jeweler, Jean Subtil. Her gold watch,
valued at 2,100 livres. is oval in shape
and ornamented with several dia-
monds,' and she must not forget to
place in her pocket for use at mass the
rosary Of enameled gold. embellished
with diamonds trifle worth 1900
livres. And, thus adorned, the queen
must yet perfume herself"

published the year-old vorys letter,
heretofore referred to.
This sequence of events is highly In
teresting and presents food for thought.
Incidentally, it suggests few ques-
tons
First--Does anybody believe that the
National League of Republican Club S
program would have been altered had
not Mr.. Hearst stepped into the game
at the time he did?
Second-Was it not rather queer that
Mr.. Taft, directly, and the president,
inferentially, would have agreed to eth
er the Toledo meeting or the National
League Glove feast If both gentle
men had meant all they said and in
timated in the first two statements here
in quoted7 If both knew, one at least
a year ago, and the other at least
since the last meeting of congress, the
unworthiness of any sort Of compro,
mise or apparent compromise with For
aker, why was the Toledo meeting, OF
the National League meeting, ever tol
Grated, in thought or in deed7 And, in
view of the private Vorys letter of 1907
were not Mr.. Taft's Toledo remarks
noted herein rather peculiar?
Third-Doesn't it look as If MI
Hearst's startling revelations alone act
ually precipitated the Reputation of
Foraker, and headed off great sacri-
fee Of principle-or further sacrifice
upon the part of Mr.. Taft and the pres
ident? Was not the public damnaticr
of Foraker really rorced, rather than
willingly megaphoned TO the world7
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-10-06
TOO MUCH ROOSEVELT.

President Roosevelt's second presen.
tation of the issues of this national
campaign is open to the same criticism
as his first. 1t is not the demand Of
the hour to convince the voters that
MIR. Taft would be simply 3o0-pound
Roosevelt in the White House, and that
the republican members Of the Six
ty1fist congress will be merely lot of
imitation Roosevslts.
Whether such a situation would be
good for the country and the party is
another question. The Inter Ocean has
definite opinions on the subject So have
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft. They all
are irrelevant here.
The relevant fact-the chief relevant
fact--just now is that at least fourth
of the republican voters do not like the
idea of voting for Roosevelt proxies
in both the executive and legislative
branches of the federal government. In
deed, they turn away from such a spec
tacle.
These voters do not believe that the
best interests of the country will be
served by putting large Roosevelt in
the White House, sending little Roose-
velts to the house of representatives,
and assuring the nation four years more
of Roosevelt policies, without even the
brake or hindrance that has been ap-
piled by congress to the present admin
istration.
Even if we concede that all the rest
of the republican voters are eager to
elect Mr.. Roosevelt vicariously to be
both president and congress-which is
at least open to argument-the voters
constituting that fourth of the party
in question have got to be considered.
Their influence and votes have got to be
had to give the republican party the
victory this fall.
What then? Why, simply let Mr..
Taft run on his own merits as re-
publican; let the republican candidates
for congress run on their own merits
as republicans, and let all stand fast
on their own records in the republican
party and no; on anybody else's.
This is the only sure way to win. Mr..
Roosevlt's why, though well meant, is
simply leap in the dark.

with the high sounding name of New

OF blackbird. 1t is conspicuously clev-
er. at least in one curious particular.
for it actually lights up its nest artifi-
cially. To do this 1t works up a lot Of
clay into balls and sticks these balls all
over with living fireflies in such a way
that, although the fireflies are held cap
tive. they shine all the same. The New
courts baza then decorates its nest
with half dozen or so of these balls
by hanging them round. The balls
last for only few days and are then
replaced by others, and so on all
through the nesting season.
