GLIDING A STATE HOUSE DOME
sachu set Capitol I'm Boston TakeA
n Third Of an Acre of
Gold Leaf.

The problem OF REBUILDING a dome may be
visuallzSd by looking at a derby hat and
imagining that a dozen ants have the task
OF sovering it with squares of beateo gold,
each square neatly fitting its neighbors.
Naturally, these miniature workmen will
commence at the top, cautiously descending
backward and leaving behind them on the
almost flat crown OF the derby a plain Of
gold surprising to flies and other onlook-
ers.
Then, from working on an almost flat
surface our industrious ants will find the
derby gradually becoming more and more
precipitous until the descent is finally al.
together perpendicular, and If their legs
and ideas OF equilibrium were manlike in
stead OF antlike they must inevitably fall
off on the table and be carried away In an
ant ambulance.
To make the figure complete, therefore,
It would be necessary to erect a miniature
staging all around the derby. to place in
addition an electric fan representing the
winds Of November) within easy range OF
1t and to persuade some conscientious
smoker representing the activity OF neigh
boring chimneys) TO draw his chair to the
table and every now and then envelop the
scene of operations in a cloud Of smoke.
For the present regilding Of the dome
OF the Boston state house eight pounds of
gold must be hammered TO the necessary
thinness to provide the material with which
TO begin gliding. and gold leaf Of the best
quality sufficient to cover nearly a third
Of an acre must be turned out to order.
This gold arrived In Boston in ingots
about six inches long. one inch wide and
one-eighth OF al inch thick. One OF these
ingots. having been alleged for color, Is

Fishing.

Riding across the country one day. Dr.
Blank noticed an old negro who had been
for quite a while perched motionless upon
a little bridge, fishing silently from the
stream beneath. For sometime he watched
him from a distance, but finally, over
come by the Old fellows unmoved pa
tience, he rode up and accosted him.

Take one example:
The crank shafts Of ordinary cars Are suspended
from a bearing at either end. There is play in the
middle. Where there Is play, there 10 added strain.
And there are broken crank shafts a. q result.
In the Mitchell Crank Shaft there are five bear
ings. One at each end, and three extra ones in
between.
We have made 5000 crank shafts in this way,
and not a single one of them has ever been broken.
Consider this when you look at any other $500
car. Open the crank case and bear down on the
shaft at Its center. See the play, and imagine the
added strain as the piStons exert their power upon II.
Then decide whether you would rather have the
kind Of crank shaft that breaks under sudden
strains-Or the kind that. In 5000 cars, has never
had to be replaced.
We could multiply comparisons endlessly. But
We would rather that you see for yourself.

Mr.. Roosevelt's activity as the
real manager Of the Taft campaign
has established a precedent Of wholly
the wrong sort. People believe in
Theodore Roosevelt and so they are
viewing with little seriousness a
matter Of great moment in the long
history OF this country. AbsOlutism
which regards the prophecies Of
presidential conduct is at odds with
democracy, and an enemy Of il.
Federal officers throughout the
length and breadth of the land have
been swung to the side Of the presi-
Dental favorite. 1t was for this
purpose that Mr.. Hitchcock left the
Postofhce Department, after the
scandal Of his political activity there
made his resignation necessary. All
his political work was approved by
the President. Not only Is this
against precedent and the proper
ties that ought to hedge about the
presidency, but there Is also great
unfairness in it toward all others
save the one chosen as the heir APP
parent. Not only this, but the
threat has been directly and effect
lively made that if the great fnan-
cial interests of this country refus-
ed their support to Mr. Taft. they
would be met with the candidacy of
Roosevelt. This threat has availed
ed to bring many Of the men whom
the President has called malefac-
tors" into line with his plans. He
1 plays the game to win, as Hartman
can testify. His enemies are made
to serve him now. Employment Of
/ these means to control the preiden-
| tial office is both unfit and danger
Gus to the future of the republic
What Democrats have always had
to fear has been concentration Of
power and privilege. There never
was before such an exhibition Of the
employment Of the power Of the
presidential office to dictate public
affairs as is now in evidence. IT.

faith Of these representations, sub
sequently renewed, that Sims dealt
with Chisolm.
No suspicion that Webster was a
fictitious person seems to have aris-
en- in Sims mind until his employ
ers, Giberet & Clay, for reasons not
disclosed by the record, in the latter
part Of June. 1906, requested him
to have Webster identified and to
obtain from him a power Of attOr-
ney. Sims Immediately cOmmuni-
Gated this request to ChisOlm, who
refused to comply with it, saying
that Webster preferred not to be
known in the matter at all There
upon all outstanding contracts were
closed and further trading with him
for account Of Webster was refused.
Chisolm, in his testimony, has
proved himself utterly unworthy Of
belief. | accept as true the state
ments Of Sims and of Hayes. his
employe
As I appreciate their evidence.
Sims never had any dealing with
Chisolm as paying teller The
money received from him was money
supposedly Withdrawn from the
bank by his principal, Webster. and
left with him for the purpose of his
agency. Sims believed that he was
receiving from Chisolm, agent, the
money of Webster, principal, in
payment of the latter's obligations.
There was no duty resting on Sims
to ascertain how Webster had with
drawn the funds from the bank and
transferred their custody To his
agent. Chisolm.
That Webster was a fictitious per
son makes no difference. 1t was
enough that Sims believed that there
was a real depositor, whose money
had been duly withdrawn from the
bank.
Plaintiff invokes the doctrine that
one who receives from an agent, in
settlement of his individual debt,
money known to belong to his prin-
cipal, Is put upon inquiry as TO the
authority to so use the money.
Plaintiff also argues that with
respect to factors, brokers and avow-
ed agents, whose vocation. whose
daily business, is to deal with the
property of others entrusted to them
for the special purposes of their vo-
cation, possession Is not presumpt-
i've evidence of ownership, and
cites a number of cases in which
presidents or cashiers of banks had
given in settlement of their individ-
ual debts checks or drafts drawn in
their official capacity against funds
belonging to the banks in which
they were officers. 1t was properly
held that those who accepted the
checks or drafts took them under
an obligation to ascertain, at their
peril, that the officers had authority
outside of their ordinary official an
thority, to make the checks or
drafts, and could not assume that
they were acting within the scope
Of their official duties.
The difference between those cases
and the present one is obvious. As
stated, Sims did not receive
