Taft Talks About Bryan.


Mitchell, S. D., September 29.-Here.
where William j. Bryan yesterday talked
for more than two hours Mr.. Taft to-
day paid his respects to the Nebraskan
preliminary to delivering a tariff and
prosperity address. He had this to say:
Il am not used to talking as my op-
ponent is, and l have not got leather
lungs yet although If / run for the pres
idency as long as he has | will have
them. He says that he is the heir of
Roosevelt policies l feel pretty close to
those policies myself. l have been liv-
ing with him about seven years, and con-
ferriag with Mr.. Roosevelt on the subject
so | feel l ought to put in a claim
to the hership, too. 1t is a wise father
that knows his son, and l rather think
that Mr.. Roosevelt. himself is a fair
ly good witness as to who ought to be
the heir of his policies. The truth is
that Theodore Roosevelt. with the repub-
lican party behind him achieved a great
step in the stamping out the abuses
that have grown out of the enormous
prosperity that we have had. and the
Importance to the American people of
putting In an admins tration that knows
how to clneh the advance that has been
made by the Roosevelt policies cannot be
exaggerated. We are going to revise the
tariff honestly and on the protective and
not free trade basis
81 don't like to say to the ladies that
they can recolect y Years back, be-
cause that would take them all back to
the time when they were little girls,
but the men here can recollect what
the free trade tariff did. not only to the
workingmen, not only to the business
men, but to the farmers. If you want
to go back to wheat less than so cents;
if you want to go back to corn as low
as p cents; il you want to go back to
oats as low as 10 cents. the path is very
clear to you.
"Just let your good democrats come in
and let them have another free trade
tariff, and see how much market you
will get in the east for the products
that you raise"

Omaha, Neb., September 29.-Following
a five-days hearing before Police Judge
Crawford, Charles Edward Davis this aft
ernoon was bound over to the district
court 10 answer the charge of murder in
the first degree for the alleged killing of
DIR. Frederick Rustin on the morning of
September 2. Bail was fixed at $10,000
which was furnished by two brothers of
the defendant.
Arguments occupied most of the time
today. Attorney Gurley for the defense
forcibly criticised the characters of wit
nesses placed on the stand by the prosecu-
tion and scored Mrs Abbie Rice, of whom
he said:
-Four times has Mrs. Rice come near
killing DR.. Rustin. but each time her
nerve failed her. But each time she came
a little nearer, until the fourth time she
had the gun in her hand, the physician
had stepped back from her in the dark
ness of the barn and said, Shoot me;
shoot me now,' but her nerve failed her.
But she does not dare tell how near
she came to killing him the next time:

DAVIS HELD FOR MURDER
OF DIR. RUSTIN AT OMAHA

she does not dare say there was another
time. She says each of the four times
DR.. Rustin told her he must be shot in
the abdomen, so that he would not die i'm
mediately And DR.. Rustin was shot in
the abdomen, just where he told Abbie
Rice she must shoot him.
"Then when the physician was lying on
the floor of his home at the foot of the
stairs, losing consciousness as his wife
bent over him, whose name did he call? :?
1t was not his wife's name; it was not the
name of any man. 1t was Polly, Polly,
oh Polly. And Polly was Mrs. Rice, his
paramour, his companion, who four times
had agreed to shoot him. Whose face was
it he last saw before the shot was fired
which caused his death? Was it not
Polly, Polly, Polly?
County Attorney English ridiculed the
alleged alibi which the defense sought to
make. He also dwelt on the connection of
Mrs. Rice, declaring that sufficient evil
dence had been given to show that she
had nothing to do with the final act which
resulted in Rustin's death.
Judge Crawford delivered his decision
at once. remarking that it was his duty
to bind Davis over to the district court.

A National Trait.

"A traveller returned from Jaffa tells
this tale at his own expense. Having
journeyed to the historical seaport on
his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded in
hiring conveyance to carry him to
the station. By speech and gesture he
informed the native driver that he
wished to be carried in a leisurely,
sightseeing fashion through as many
as possible of the principal thorough
fares of Jaffa and to be delivered at
the terminal just in time to take the
outgoing train.
He had no sooner seated himself in
the vehicle, however, than the driver
whipped up his horse and whirled the
dismayed traveller at a furious pace
through all the dust and over all the
stones Of the VIGOROUSLY rough streets
Of Jaffa. The passenger was too busily
employed in saving his bones to be
able to see anything of the interesting
town.
Arriving at the station, he found that
he still had two hours to wait.
'Why in the world" he demanded
Indignantly, "did you ever hurry like
that?"
"You American" responded the driv-
er, with an expressive shrug. call
American like go very much fast."-

He Was Too Smart.

He was the only man at the table
full of lovely girls, and, like all only
men, he was spoiled. So when the
belle of the table remarked that she
was very fond Of pepper and then sift-
ed half the contents of the pepper box
over her food he sprang an old gag on
her.
1T won't hurt you. This pepper is
half peas"
"What is that you say?' asked the
landlady from the next table. "Speak
a little louder, please"
He reiterated his remark.
"That isn't true" retorted the land
lady holly. 81 do not use ad1lterated
goods Oh my table"
"My dear madam" said the bland
joker, ''there are always q lot Of p's in
pepper"
There was an impressive pause. Then
the landlady said in crushing voice:

part of the dessert" r-

The Presidents Salary

1t is safe to say that very few of the
people living in this country know how
the president Of the United States
draws his salary of $4,000 year. OF
those few who may have given the
matter thought, large majority do
not know whether he receives his sal
airy monthly, quarterly or semiannual-
~. AS a matter Of fact, the salary due
the president is taken to the White
House by trusted messenger from the
Office Of the treasurer of the United
States on the last day Of each month
and handed over to the official whose
business it is to look after it. The
president receives his salary in the
shape Of check, the $4,000 being d.
vided into eight checks of $4,166.67 each
and four checks of $4,16666 each.
Thus one month out of every three the
president receives 1 cent less on his
check than he does the other two. Some
such arrangement as this is necessary,
as, of course, $4,000 is not exactly d.
visible by twelve.

Lone Sentences,

Ruskin, it is said, has written more
sentences Of tnordinate length than
any other classic writer Of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison some
years ago counted the words in num-
Der Of typical sentences, finding that in
the earlier books it was no uncommon
thing for Ruskin to run beyond the
page before permitting himself and his
readers the relief Of full stop. But in
every case the sense is clear as day.
Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac-
ter of the Happy Warrior" is a notable
example Of sustained connections.
Apart from the opening and closing
couplets the poem consists of two very
long compound sentences almost en-.
tirely comprised of adjectival clauses.
The longer of the two sentences con-
tains f1fty-seven decasyllabic lines.
This is probably record in English
verse.-Argonaut.

Feminine inconsistency.

a clubwoman, writing in the Phila-
delphia Record, reveals feminine in
consistency in the peculiar views held
by some women about the use of their
first names. She says:
"a couple Of years ago l had occa-
sion to send a letter to married wo-
man, and in addressing her l wrote
Mrs. Henry - Imagine my sur
prise when in reply received an in
dignant letter from her, in which she
said: I do not at all like to have my
identity submerged in that Of my hus-
band. | do not see why cannot be
addressed by my own name. Because
I am married is that any reason why
! should lose my individuality? My
name is Anna The next letter l
wrote to the indignant wife you can
be sure it bore the first name of the
woman in question, but the climax
came recently, when the husband died
and my fastidious friend was left a
widow. I wrote her on club business
and, bearing In mind her first scold-
ing, took particular pains to address
her as Mrs. Anna - The answer
to this from her makes me shiver to
think about. DO you think I have so
far forgotten my beloved Henry she
said, as to be willing to abandon his
name altogether? I wish you would
address me as Mrs. Henry in the fu-
ture, please. I may be an unfortunate
widow, but | still bear my husbands
name think"

An Anecdote of Ellsworth

There was characteristic incident in
the early life of Colonel Ellsworth, the
brilliant young lawyer who was one of
the first notable victims of the civil
war. His struggles to gain foothold
in his profession were attended by
many hardships and humiliating priva-
tons. Once, finding the man he was
looking for on a matter of business in
restaurant, he was invited to partake
Of the luncheon to which his acquaint-
ance was just sitting down. Ellsworth
was ravenously hungry, almost starv-
ing, in fact but he declined courteously,
but firmly, asking permission to talk
over the business that had brought him
thither while the other went on with
the meal
The brave young fellow in telling the
story in after years confessed that he
suffered positive agony at the sight and
smell Of the tempting food.
II could not in honor accept hospi-
tality I could not reciprocate," was his
simple explanation Of his refusal. 81
