No more do the dainty dairymaids
trip merrily from the palatial Califor-
MIA street cow pens of M. H.
de Young all on May time
morning, singing of the foamy
substance in the bright tin pals.
The cow has gone. Whether it has
followed the heroic precedent of poesy
and leaped over the moon or has mere
ly sauntered, chewing cud as 1t medi-
tates on happy days, down the rural
lanes of the suburbs can not be deter
mined
But the COW has gone. 1t was in
vited to leave by Nels Rasmussen, a
minion of DR.. Rupert Blue. The COM
Portable stable behind the De Young
residence in California street near Oc-
tavia is as barren of cows as a billiard
ball is of cowslips. And it is an due
to DR.. Rupert Blue.
Simultaneous with the enforced
movement of the De Young bossy there
were emitted in the Chronicle, which
is edited by Bossys boss, a series of
milk curdling editorial shrieks directed
against DR.. Blue and his methods. The
campaign to rid the city of rats and
bacteria was assailed. An attempt was
made to COW it.
There seems to be a connection be-
tween the pro-rat crusade of the
'Snronlcle ana the dNll-cOW eQlcL OIL
DR.. Blue.
The De Young cow was gentle
beast and lived in a clover filed stall.
But the neighbors objected to her as
being an improper denizen of Califor-
MIA street. The soft moo" with which
bossy greeted the smiling dairy maid
in the morning at sunup annoyed the
urban ears.
=, Inspector Nels Rasmussen visited
the COW one morning. Bossy was "at
home" to callers. But Inspector Rass-
mussen reported that the cow could
not stay, even though the editor en-
joyed fresh milk in the morning. An
order was posted directing that the
COW must go. During the following
night it disappeared.
Then came the milkless wrath of De
Young. Editorials appeared In the
columns of the Chronicle characterize
ing the anti-rat crusade as farce.
Nothing was said about the movement
against cows. The collection of
money to oust rats was decried But
the rats were only championed out of
sympathy. The logic of the Chronicle
was that, IL 1t is wicked to chase a cow,
it is wicked to pursue rat. The rats
that escape the Blue crusade will be
indebted to the De Young cow

TAFT GETS A REST.
Secretary Is Staying Quietly at Home
 For a Few Days.

Washington, June 2S.-Secretary Will liam Howard Taft passed the second Sun day after his nomination for the presi- dency quietly at his K street home. He was much refreshed after a comfortable and restful nights sleep, practically the first prolonged and adequate rest he has had since his nomination. Early today his brother. Charles P. Taft of Cincin- natl. arrived in Washington and joined the war secretary at his home. They spent the day and evening together.
 The coming at this time of Charles P Taft was said to be devoid of special suggestion, but it is known that he is here to confer with the secretary rs=pecs- ing his personal and political r. ns
 Neither Secretary Taft nor his brother cared to discuss for publication the ques- ton of selection of a national chairman, except in the most general terms. No decision yet has been reached. and it is said definitely by the secretary that none will be announced until after he has conferred further with the sub-commit- tee of the republican committee on July 4.
 It is proba able-indeed it Is almost cer- tainty-that the subcommittee meet ing with Secretary Taft and Representa- tive Sherman, candidate for vice presi- dent, which was fixed for July in Wash ington will be held at Hot Springs, Va where the secretary expects to spend tho greater part of the summer.
 'I have not determined the matter definitely" said Secretary Taft this even ing. 'but my inclination now is to have the conference at Hot Springs. Mrs. Taft and hope to leave Washington for Hot Springs next Friday. In that event. 1 shall send notice to the members Of the subcommittee to meet me there. This To- cation will be just as convenient for them
