New YORK, Feb 25.-New York

feet under the surface of the Hudson.
Simultaneously $50, 900 residents of
the State across the river waved farewell
to the ferries their friends of many years
and screamed welcome to the first
official train to course through the $780,
900, 900 McAdoo tunnels, described by
President Roosevelt in letter read by
Mr.. McAdoo as the greatest subaqueous

Why the Stove Was Elevated

Two professors were the guests of a
college chum at a hunting camp in the
woods. When they entered the camp
their attention was attracted to the un-
usual position of the stove, which was
set on posts about four feet high.
One of the professors began to COM
ment upon the knowledge woodsmen gain
by observation. Now" said he, "this
man has discovered that the heat radiat-
ing from the stove strikes the roof, and
the circulation is so quickened that the
camp is warmed in much less time than
would be required if the stove were in
its regular place on the floor"
The other professor was of the opin-
ion that the stove was elevated to be
above the window in order that cool and
pure air could be had at night.
The host, being more practical, con-
tended that the stove was elevated in
order that a good supply of green wood
could be placed beneath it to dry.
After considerable argument each man
placed dollar bill upon the table, and
it was agreed that the one whose opinion
was nearest the guides reason for ele-
waiting the stove should take the pool.
The guide was called and asked why
the stove was placed in such an unusual
position.
''Well," said he, "when 1 brought
the stove up the river I lost most of the
stovepipe overheard and had to set the
stove up there so as to have the pipe
reach through the roof.
He got the money.

Somebody's Purse.
The salary roll of the Taft political
workers is rolling up at rapid rate and
must be proving big drain on the Taft
bar'l. With the opening of headquar-
tiers for the Secretary of War in this city
on Monday, six Or seven additional work
ers will begin to draw salaries from the
Taft hackers, and it is the understanding
that branch headquarters will be opened
in New York soon. In addition, there
are lot of agents, nobody knows how
many, who are constantly travelling over
the country feeling the public pulse and
shaping the drift of sentiment toward
Taft.
1t is the understanding of Washington
politicians that Brother Charles Taft is
footing all the expenses of the campaign
which his half brother is making for the
presidency. Charles p. Taft is album
dainty able to carry this big financial
load, his wealth being variously estimated
at between twenty million and forty mill
ion dollars. 1t is understood he has no
hankering to shine in public affairs and
that neither an appointment to the Court
of St. James nor to cabinet portfolio
will have the slightest attraction for him.
He has an ambition, however, which is
that it shall be said that William How
ard Taft was elected to the presidency
without penny of cost to anybody save
his wealthy half-brother, Charles P.
