INTIMATE FRIENDS

Between Taft and Borah a very
strong and very close friendship ex-
lists; not a spasmodic growth, but the
result of constant association, enabling
each to gain an insight into the true
character and manliness of the other
No man entertains higher regard for
Taft than Borah, and 1t may be said,
conversely, that Borah has no greater
admirer than the coming President.
| During the past winter, Borah and
Taft has been in consultation many,
many times. They have conferred
over subjects personal, political, ma
tional and local. Between them is a
perfect understanding. Because of his
admiration for and confidence in the
Secretary of War, Senator Borah OPEN
ly declared in favor of the nohination
OF Taft, and from the day his mind
was made up he worked necessarily
to assist in bringing about the great
achievement at Chicago. In advocat-
ing Taft, Borah did not work altogeth-
er unhampered. He was very close to
the President, and listed among his
trusted friends. He was therefore be-
sought, in season and out, by the mis-
guided friends of the President. to
join the third term movement. But
he himself knew that Roosevelt was
sincere, so he waived aside the third
termers, and stood Loyalty by Taft.

MAN
IN SENATE
SENATOR BORAH OF IDAHO, THE
FIDUS ACHATEs OF THE COM
ING PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
William E. Borah of Idaho will be
spokesman for the Taft administration
in the United States Senate. lie will
succeed Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets, who has been the recognized
"mouthpiece of President Roosevelt t.
for the past seven years. In his new
role, Senator Borah will spring to the
front, and will, from and after March
4, 1909, be a conspicuous figure in the
leading debates, especially where ma
tional affairs are involved and admin
istTation policies at stake.
There is no member of the Senate
closer to Taft than Borah; and among
Taft's numerous friends in the Senate
there is none more able to espouse the
cause of the administration than the
young Senator from Idaho, who, at the
beginning of the Taft administration,
will not yet have completed the first
half of his first term. There may be
other Senators as close to the new
President as the junior senator from
Idaho, but it so happens that, Dolliver
alone excepted, none of these intimate
friends have the peculiar adaptabllity
for the work cut out for Rorah To
be the recognized representative of the
administration in the Senate man
must not only be able to speak, but he
must be able to analyze issues, present
his facts logically, and by the very
forcefulness of his address carry con-
viction as to the propriety of the atti-
tude of those he is defending He
must be a man of nerve, and possess.
ed of a cool head. He must be able
to grasp the political significance Of
each and every move of his adversar.
les, and withal he must be able to sc
| represent the administration as t.
avoid giving offense to Republican col
leagues not so thoroughly in sympathy
with the powers that be.

ON THE INSIDE.

That Senator Borah is already on
the inside" is evidenced by the fact
that he was repeatedly called in con-
sultation over the platform before it
was submitted to the convention at
Chicago, and though he modestly puts
aside any credit for the document on
which Taft will make his campaign,
his friends believe that his views are
fairly reflected in many sections of
that state paper. When the conven-
ton assembled, Borah was in constant
touch with the Taft leaders, and was
one of the trusted men constantly On
guard against the "alies" and against
the threatened Roosevelt stampede.
There is no doubt that Senator Boz
chose the psychological moment for
comma to the Senate. He may not
have seen far into the future when he
made his successful race for senator,
but opportunity certainly came his
way after he landed in Washington.
Yet his impending honors will not
come to him at his own request, for
he would never ask to represent the
administration in the Senate. He will
be chosen by the new President be-
cause among the number, he best fills
the requirements and because he is a
man in whom Mr.. Taft has implicit
confidence, and for whom he has a
most profound admiration.
| In his support of Mr.. Taft, Senator
Borah has had no thought of himself
| He has been guided merely by his love
of the big man now heading the Re-
publican national ticket With him
Taft has always been the one man tC

conviction he has left no stone un
turned to aid in placing Taft in tho
White House. Nor will his endeavori
cease until the close Of the tall cam
paign.

TIE RIGHT MEN.

The facts and incidents here related
only show the advisability of sending
the right men to the United States
Senate. Borah was the right man TO
represent Idaho; the right man under
Roosevelt, as he will be the right
man under Taft. Had he not been
the right man he would never have
been chosen by the present admins
tration to make "the" administration
speech on the Brownsville case. A
man of unknown standing; an uncer-
tain quantity, would never have gain
ed access to the confidence of the adj
ministration, and been entrusted with
duty that would ordinarily have been
performed by the "mouthpiece' of the
administration, especially when the
"mouthpiece" was a member OF the
committee giving consideration to the
subject matter in question. Senator
Borah was not even a member OF this

MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland Institution Plans 10 Try q
New System.

The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
new system of church management.
A business manager has been ap-
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances of the
church. AS executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues of
Members, subscriptions, etc., and pay
all expenses. He will serve as Sec
rotary of the standing committees of
the church and keep a record of their
business for transmission to the off,
cial board. This, it is expected, will
leave the pastor free to give atten-
ton to the larger plans of the work
and to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Erworth Memorial has the largest
membership of all the Protestant
churches in the city. 1t has an ex-
tensive charity work and handles over
900 in contributions every year.

tendent, strongly commends the in
novation. ITO my mind" he says, at

IN TOUCH WITH REAL WORLD.
Man of Natural Life Has Advantage
Over the Ascetic.

Not all ascetics are dawdlers, but at
least we may feel sure that such men
as the tennis-playing bishop of London
and Henry Van Dyke, preacher, teach
er and mighty fisher before the Lord
are types of men who are abolishing
the medieval idea that wan incompe-
tence is righteousness.
The most helpful clergyman l know
is man who still plays football. I
had heard his calm words still the
hysteria of tired women and arouse
the emotions of burdened business
men, but found that he was not mere
ly man of words. For l crossed the
Atlantic in a cattle boat with him, and
whether we hauled up the 25O-pound
hay bales, or cleaned the gangways, or
told stories in the squalid foc's'le,
there was no man aboard who was
more competent. No one, save /,
knew he was a minister, but there was
something about his laughing: Whats

ish Golden Fleece, because as a Protes-
tant he cannot receive the Austrian
decoration of the same name
Nor has he the grand cross of the
French Legion of Honor. His father
and grandfather both held it, but Will
liam H., for obvious reasons, has never
had this favor bestowed on him. Moth
ing, however, would please him more
than to receive it.
1t is remarkable that he can bestow
considerable number of orders which
he cannot wear himself Among these
are war decorations, the Prlssian
order pour lie merite and all decora-
tons bestowed for eminence in art
and science. Orders for saving life
cannot be worn by the emperor, and,
of course, orders bestowed on ladies
cannot be his. Nor does he wear the
order founded by his grandfather, the
Wilhelm order, bestowed for eminence

One order, that of the sovereign and
protector of the Brandenburg division
Of the Knights of st. John, is the only
order worn by the emperor which no
one else possesses. The decoration
was designed by himself shortly after
his accession. to the throne.

KAISER RICH IN DECORATIONS.
Has Been Known to Wear as Many as
AZ at Once.

Emperor Williams recent visit to
Stockholm has enriched the orders and
decorations on his breast by a very
beautiful specimen of gold work, the
grand cross of the Wasa order, with
its accompanying chain. The highest
Swedish order, the Serafine order, has
been in the emperors possession for
years.
It is not exactly known how many
of these brilliant things the emperor
has. but it is supposed that he owns
1923 orders and decorations. Certainly
he has more than either his father or
grandfather had, and has been seen
with as many as AZ on at one time.
He possesses the highest decora-
lions Of all European and Asiatic
states. including the much coveted
Garter of England, which he is very
fond of wearing.

IS YEARS OF SUFFERING.
Burning, Painful Sores on Legs
Tortured Day and Night-Tried
Many Remedies to No Avail
Cured by Cuticura.

"After an attack of rheumatism,
running sores broke out on my hus-
bands legs, from below the knees to
the ankles. There are no words to
tell all the discomforts and great suf-
fering he had to endure night and day.
He used every kind of remedy and
three physicians treated him, one after
the other, without any good results
whatever. One day I ordered some
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent. He began
to use them and in three weeks all the
sores were died up. The burning fire
stopped, and the pains became bear
able. After three months he was quite
well. I can prove this testimonial at

A@T EW YORK.-Mrs. Russell
&AE Sage has new velvet car
d~ pets in her home at No.
'ASN 632 Fifth avenue-soft,
~E rich and beautiful, with
w. deep, thick pile into which
the foot sinks.
Il am glad" said a woman who has
known Mrs. Sage for years, that she
could have those velvet carpets before
she died. In all the years of her mar
risd life down at the house at No. SOC
Fifth avenue she had nothing but
ancient Brussels carpet on her parlor
floor. 1t was one she had when she
first went to keeping house, and had
those great, set medallions in it that
they used to use for carpet patterns
40 years ago. The nap was worn off
all over it SO that the brown warp
showed through. When it finally got
so bad that it was impossible to use it
longer mating was put down in the
parIor, as it long had been in the rest
of the house. She always used the old
hornehair furniture she had when she
was married, such as one saw in coun-
try parlors 40 years ago, and there
were great cracks in the parlor walls
of the house at Forty-second street
which went for years without fixing.
Mrs. Sage suffered from mortifica-
ton at such things just as much as
any other woman would, and I'm glad
she's able to have the velvet carpets
for a few years before she dies. But
they came too late to give her much
pleasure. After they had all been put
down and the furniture was in place
she walked through the house observ-
ing and admiring, and then sat down
and cried. She said not a word in ex-
PLANTATION, but it was easy to under
stand. She was thinking of all the
stinted years when she might have en-
joyed such things, and now she has
them when she is too old to care very
much.
There scarcely is day that Mrs.
Sage does not weep" continued this
old friend of hers. "She simply sits
and cries at the intolerable burden of
having $65, 100000 on her shoulders, at
the burden of distributing that huge
fortune in the way that will do the
most good. She is 80 years old and
has a New England conscience. She
wants to do just the right thing with
Il all, and it requires an amount of
thought and study and imposes a
feeling of responsibility that is hard

quiet corner to spend her few remain

grown thin, pale, bent and wrinkled.

almost instantly into a storm of ap-
peals which amounted to a persecu-
tion. Her mail for some years before
Mr.. Sage's death had amounted to be-
tween 40 and so letters a day. 1t
leaped instantly to 900 a day, and the
entire surplus was appeals for money.
Within two months after Mr.. Sages
death 1000 letters were carted away
from her house unopened. Two secre-
taries work night and day almost to
handle Mrs. Sage's private mail. If
she attempted to read ten per cent. of
it personally she would be able to do
nothing else.
look it over herself. She was aston
ished and Disguised at some of it. Be-
fore Mr.. Sage's body was cold in its
coffin she received a letter from
New York man whom she never had
seen asking her to send him a check
for $1,000 by return mail, and he was
kind enough to inclose stamped en-
velope for reply. She never asked for
advice as to the disposal of this for
tune, yet within the first two months
of her widowhood she received letters
from more than 1000 different men,
instructing her how to give away her
money so as to do the most good One
of them, the president of a college,
wrote her that if she would give him
charge of her entire fortune he would
invest it so that it would support his
college forever. And, far from men
tioning the gratitude of his college in
such an event, he told her that she
ought to be thankful and grateful that
she had an opportunity to do such
splendid work
r. HE letters that really affected Mrs.
i Sage at this time were pathetic
appeals for help from individuals.
Many of these were to all appearances
genuine, the appeals of poor and ig-
norant persons, suffering in want and
hardship, and pathetically confident
that the kind-hearted woman who had
more money than she knew what to
do with would give them the little
that would make them happy. Some
of these letters distressed Mrs. Sage
greatly; but they came not only from
every state in the union but from for
eign countries. Had she responded to
them she would have dissipated her
entire fortune in small checks to indi-
viduals all over the world. So finally
Mrs. Sage gave up her mail Now a
letter which is manifestly from a per-
sonal friend is given her, but nothing
else reaches her eye
1t is not only impossible to reach
Mrs. Sage by letter-it has become
one of the impossible things to see
her. Mrs. Sage formerly was one of
the most approachable of women.
