Experienced, diplomatic newspaper
men will be sent out in all directions,
under the instruction of Hitchcock.
They will not only see that Taft
news gets into the various newspapers,
but they will act as a secret service
force to report the doings of the enc

way that Hitchcock was able to keep
such an accurate card index on de-
velopments before the Chicago Con-
vention.
The Republican Congressional Com

When it became desirable to find Sc

Tales Worth Telling f:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
AS THEY SAY IN BOSTON.

1t was lat the seaside that the little
fellows met, the one from Boston, the
other Philadelphia. Being just six
and eight respectively, they did not
as yet realize the great social distinc-
ton between them. They became fast
friends.
1t was after a long trying day on
the beach that the quarrel began. Hot
words tumbled over one another with
furious speed.
"Oh, you're bughouse!" said the little
Philadelphia.
For a moment there was silence.
Then a panied expression fitted over
the Bostonian youngsters face. That
was the last straw.
With head held proudly and with
stately mien he made as if to leave,
and in dignified silence. But, human
nature prevailing, he could not leave
without one parting thrust.
1--WE don't say bughouse in Boston;
it isn't elegant: We say beetle-garage,'
uttering which he left the field of bat
tie, swearing solemn oaths that in fu-
ture he would keep away from sordid
types of this character. \

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

Miss Lillian B. Hill, the advertising
expert, said at a clothier's banquet
in Grand Rapids:
Il am glad you clothiers now adver-
tise, new print pictures of mems and
boys fashions. Thus you smarter up
the country, and you help to abolish
the cutting down of the fathers
clothes for the son.
you have educated our little boys to
dress, and few of them could bear to
wear their fathers garments made over
by mothers awkward hands as in days
of yore.
1T was not always so. l remember
how in the distant past my little
brother rushed whimpering into my
room one night
Oh, dear he whimpered, pas had
his beard shaved off, and now l guess
I've got to wear the old red thing -

NO. INDEED. NO ANGEL.

There is an eternal masculine as
there is an eternal feminine, and in
the young masculine animal of the HUI
man race the idea that it is not con-
sistent with his dignity and strength
of character to be considered too good
develops early This was shown the
other day by very little man named
Vincent, who is so small that his
knowledge of the use of words is as
yet very rudimentary. The little girl,
who is older, had returned from Sun
day school, and grand-mamma had
asked her, on general principles, what
the lesson was about.
"Oh, about angels" replied the little
girl indefinitely, and, then, seeing a
possible application, she turned to the
baby, adding, FAnd you are a little
angel, aren't you, Vincent?"
Baby might have been expected to be
pleased at this compliment, affection
ately given, but not at all. He screw
ed up his small face, threw all the
force of his small mind into the put
ting together of the proper words, and
burst out:
