 The grip or influenza epi- demic, is spreading, say the doctors, but in Chicago and New York the disease is car rying on a devastating cam paign. Last week there were sixty-eight deaths in the Att lantic coast metropolis, as against six for the correspond ing week of 1906. In Chi cago its ravages are wide spread, but not so severe as in New York. In both cities it has seriously affected the grand opera and theatrical season; business offices report an unusual number of ab sentees.

 If the President did let MT Loeb manage the Taft cam paign, We would begin to doubt the quality of his en- dOrsement very much.
 A conspiracy has been dis covered in Ohio to eliminate Senator Foraker from poli- tics. Wonder how many mil. lions the combination was as- sessed at?
 Bank clearings for 1907. outside of New York city, showed an increase of 4.2 pei cent over 1906, and l4.S per cent over 1905. The west leads in the percentage of gain, but the South and Pa cifc coast show gains also The only notable decreases are shown in New York, Bos- ton, and Philadelphia, where the falling off of business on the stock markets caused a de- crease in exchange of credit through the banks.
 The cumulative value of lit tie things should not be de- spised.

And paid good money to hear worse jokes
