can party by Hon. M. M. Hanbery,
OF Cadiz, is the sensation of the hour.
AS Gov. Wilson is believed to be the
direct cause Of his detection, the
Governor is being much censured by
some and congratulated by others.
The following specials show how the
news was received at home and
abroad.
Effect On Wilson,
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. Gov.
Wilson, of Kentucky passed through
here today on a special train, having
been wired to return at once, owing

greatly perturbed.

vile as soon as the news arrived that
Hon. Max Hanbery had ceased to be

until Gov. Wilson arrived. 1t is
believed this blow will kill the party
in the State and Gov. Cox does not
want to see it die.
Teddy Refuses to Believe.
Washington, Sept. 9.-President
Roosevelt was incredulous when the
news was gently broken to him that
Hon. Max Hanbery, Of America, had
refused to remain in the Republican
party. Nominee Taft was wired to
cancel all speaking dates and come
to Washington at once for a confer
ence. Wright's triumph in aero
nautics has ceased to be discussed in
the face Of this political sensation.
Debs is Happy.
Chicago, Sept 9.-Eugene V.
Debs, socialist nominee for president,
was greatly elated over the news
from Cadiz. Interest is at fever
heat and both Debs and Hisgen will
make a strong effort to obtain the
support of Mr. Hanbery on the

when seen by a reporter of the as
ISOLATED press and said; II acknowl-

Hearst Takes Notice.
New York, Sept. 1.-THE stock
market is slowly recovering from
the shock of Wednesday, caused by
the news that Hon. Max Hanbery
would leave the Republican party.
Unsettled conditions still prevail,
and there is much speculation as to
what party Mr. Hanbery will affili-
ate with. A rumor not yet verified
is that VIM. R. Hearst is planning to
establish another link at Cadiz in his
chain of newspapers and put Mr..
Hanbery in charge as editor in chief
to support Hisgen and Graves, at a
salary of $4,000 month.

Yokel's Recipe for Man Who Would
Be Cured Of Love.

Apropos Of leap year, Robert Barr,
the Anglo-American novelist and edi-
tor, told at dinner recently story
about love.
"A man." he said, being profoundly
In love, consulted philosopher.
Il am in love- he complained, and
I don't like 1t. It keeps me from
working, from acquiring fame. Can
you cure meT
In the study of astronomy said
the philosopher, stroking his gray
beard, you will find cure for love.
Contemplate the planets, and In the
infinite depths of interstellar space
the puniness of yourself and the insig-
niflcance of your love will stun you
so the lover commenced star gaz-
ing, and all went we'll for a night or
two. Then, as he sat in his lonely
tower with his eye glued to tele-
scope, the girl came and put her white
arms about his neck.
That night he gazed at the stars no
more. Astronomy, he saw, was no
cure.
But love irked him and he sought
out an alchemist.
Give me a philter,' he said, that
will cure me of love-.
"The alchemist smiled.
There are many stories, he said,
about philters of this sort, but they
are all, young sir. quack nostrums.

And as he mused on his hard case
he saw yokel digging in a ditch, and
as he dug the yokel regarded the man

Plainly you are rich, the yokel
said; why, then, do you frown and
sigh?'

1t is torment How can be cured?'
"The yokel roared with laughter.
'Ho, ho!' he shouted, that is an
easy one. Don't you know the an.

No. said the man. What Is It?
Tell me quickly

and he resumed his digging"

Capital Of Cardboard.

struck with the unreal appearance OF
the town. especially in the less busy
quarter which lies all round the
Champs Elysees, says writer in the
London Sketch. The tall, blank gray
houses, with their gray wooden shut
ters, look no more real than the card
board houses in a stage play. More
over 1t seems impossible that anyone
is alive inside the houses. You never
see face at a window, and no one
ever seems to emerge through the
great brown doors-doors which are

monotony, the absence of colors. the
comparative silence are incredible

Rev. DR.. Eddy was one of the most

The other occasion which caused
DR.. Eddy to laugh concerned one of
his own sons. This youngster, going
to church in a white duck suit, had
a nosebleed and being without a
handkerchief, allowed the blood, drop
by drop, to form diagrams upon his
trousers. He made all sorts of fig-
