THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

In spite of the reports so gener-
ously circulated at the time Secre-
tary Taft returned home from his
trip around the world, two weeks
ago, that his boom had gradually
wIthered away during his absence
on government business and was
approaching the point of collapse,
it appears TO be about the liveIiest
corpse in evidence in the country
today and even his most intolerant
opponents are forced to admit that
the big secretary of war is the most
prominent candidate in the list to-
day.

Speaker Herman L. Ekern, of
the Wisconsin Assembly, who is
managing Senator LaFollette's cam
paign for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination, has been in
Washington during the past few
days, in conference with his chief
and Senator Stephenson. 1t is sup
posed that one of the purposes OF
his visit was to discuss the financing
of the LaFollette organization in
Wisconsin and consider the selec-
ton Of the four delegates at large
from this state to the National Con-
vention. Senator Stephenson is
quoted as saying that the Wisconsin
delegation will surely be for LaFol-
lette and that he considers him to
be the most likely dark horse in
the list. II is expected that Senator
Stephenson, who is a rich lumber
man of Marlnette, will see to it that
financial aid is forth coming to carry
on the LaFollette campaign, so far
as its operations in this state are
concerned.

everybody tired before the dinner be-

lishman to be his neighbor at table
There was never a stop to the fellows
tongue. When the oysters were
brought on he began: Now, it is a
question whether or not the oyster
has brains; scientists dispute the
idea" "T-t-t-they certainly have
some" retorted TraverB. your proof,

minds that thrift is the part of wis

THE MAN WHO. NEVER LIVED AT
ALL.

"A man" says a newspaper story.
made millions in his 80 years of
life never doing the usual thing"
These were some of the things he
never did: He never travelled. He
never joined anything. He never
paid for ticket of admission. He
never ate in a hotel or restaurant.
His total expenditure for car fare
was less than one dollar For 40
years he had not voteo. He wouldn't
smoke, not because it was harmful,
but because it cost him 10 cents a
week. And when he died he had
amassed 81, 100000.
Poor, lonesome old mau
The world was no better off for
this man. He took all it would
give, but he gave nothing in return,
either of money or sympathy or life
So, when he died, they told about
him in the newspapers; and now
others will spend the money that
he gave up everything to gather.
There can't be many who care
whether he is gone or not. Probab-
~ he had a few who loved him,
because the most ENJOYABLE of us
are nearly always loved by some
body. But there isn't any street
full OF friends who feel that some
thing has gone out of their lives.
He hasn't left an empty place, for
he never cared about other people
or other things, or TO see and know
and understand and feel, and to put
out his hand and get hold of the
hand of the throbbIng, living world
around him.
People say, That's a queer story, y
but it's more than a queer story.
1t is a real tragedy, because it is the
story of man who died before he
had ever begun TO live.

HAD NO CAUSE TO BE AFRAID.
Very Harmless "Tiger" Was Irish
mans Companion in Cage.

The manager of a wild animal show
was so unfortunate as to lose by death
the only lion in his collection. After
trying in vain to replace the loss he
finally secured an Irishman to- appear
in his exhibition on all tours in the
lions cage, wrapped In the dead
beasts skin. This plan worked well
enough for while, and the public
was fooled. One night, however, it be-
came necessary, in the course of one
performance, for the lion to enter the
tigers cage. Pat pleaded strenuously
behind the scenes against being sent
into the other man caters presence;
but his employer was unyieIding, as
surfing him repeatedly that the tiger
was harmless. Though well-nigh dead
with fear, Pat, after long and vigorous
persuasion, at last crawled into the
tigers cage. No sooner was he in the
cage than he lost what little courage
he had left, and lay down, calling in a
hoarse whisper, please don't bite me;
amt no lion; I'm an Irishman." The
tiger appeared thoroughly disguised.
and in a moment he growled back,
"Shut up, you fool, so am I."-Har-

ROMANCE ENDS in HAPPINESS.
Childhood SWeethearts Meet at New
Orleans and Are Married.

A romance which began in their ma
tive land when both were children,
and long before they dreamed of COM
ing to America to seek their fortunes,
eliminated in the wedding af Antonio
Hervatin and Joanna Rumin of Pain,
Austria, says the New Orleans Plea
yune. They came over on the Sofia
Hohenberg. Antonio is a farmer, and
he came to look for land which he
could cultivate and later build a home
upon. Joana came to New Orleans
expecting to obtain employment as
servant; but when the, time came for
them to part at the ships side it was
more than Antonio could stand and
harder than Joana had dreamed, and
then it was that love asserted it's rule,
and they decided to cast their fortunes
together. Stephen Jozsa, assistant sec.
rotary at the state immigration bu.
beau, went with them to the ST. Louis
cathedral, where they were made man
and wife by Mong. Laval. Radiant
as children in their new-fOund happi-
ness, bride and groom left for Laurel
Hill, in West Feliciana, where they
were taken by Miss Stuart to work on
the sugar estate of Mr.. Henry Stewart.
