FROM HIS LATEST PICTURE.

sKOM HIS LATEST PICTURE.
He had ambitions toward the supreme
bench, and there were eminent men
who predicted that Taft some day
would sit in that tribunal.
In 1898 the war with Spain threw
into American possession the Philip
pine Islands. President Mckinley and
his cabinet passed anxious hours In
discussion of the problem what shall
we do with the Philippines?' When
finally it was determined to create q
commission to organize civi1 govern
ment in the islands, then In revolt and
under military rule. the president look
ed about for a man big and broad and
deep enough to hold the Craftsmanship
Of that body. .sBig Bill" Taft Of his
own state was recommended as the
very man for the place. Judge Taft
was called to Washington He frank
" told the president that he had not
been in favor Of acquiring the islands
In the first place. Notwithstanding
this, Judge Taft was deemed the best
available man to undertake the admin
istration Of the islands. He accepted
appointment to the craftsmanship Of
the Philippine commission as mat
ter OF public duty and proceeded to
Manila with his family.
Thus in 1900 William Fl. Taft be-
came an international figure. Speak
ing almost literally, the eyes Of the
world were upon him It deyolved up
on him to administer the affairs OF a
turbulent archipelago but lately re-
leased from centuries Of despotic mis-
rule and still struggling violently
against the manifest destiny Of Amer
lean guardianship. No other American
statesman ever was called upon to
] undertake like task. How well
Judge Taft fulfilled his mission is In
dictated by the present situation in the
islands. After bringing about a sem
blance Of civic organization Taft was
| appointed civil governor of the Phil
| ippines. He remained four years In
the islands. When finally he returned
to the United States to become secre-
tary Of war in the Roosevelt cabinet
ne had nodded form out Of chaos and
had given the Filipinog running start
toward ultimate self government of
sae most approved American brand.
Before departing Cor the philippines
Judge Taft had said at dinder that

popular fellow in the class Of 1878
The young man returned to Cincin-
natl with his diploma and passed
through a law school. In 1880 he was
admitted to the bar. While waiting for
clients he worked as q court reporter
on the Cincinnati Times and later on
the Cincinnati Commercial. The prose
cutting attorney met the young lawyer
reporter and took such fancy to him
that he appointed Taft his assistant.
That was in 1881. Not long afterward
the young man was appointed collector
Of internal revenue for his district.
During the administration of President
Harrison the Cincinnati lawyer made
his first official appearance in Wash
ington as solicitor general for the Unit
ed States. President Harrison appoint
ed him in 1892 Judge of the United
States circuit court Prior to this Mr..
Taft had sat on the bench of the supe-
rior court in Ohio, first through APP
pointment by Governor Foraker, now
United States senator, and later by
election.
Though in public Office for about If
teen years. up to the year 1900 VIII
liam a. Taft had won only a local
reputation. To be sure, he was wide
" and favorably known among law
yers as judge possessing in an un-
usual measure the Judicial mind, but
he was in no sense a national figure.

. DICKINSON. :

:. n X
About 400 people attended the ball
game at the west end grounds Sun
day afternoon when the Dickinson
boys defeated the Mandan team by
a score Of % to 6. The locals out
classed the visitors at every stage of
the game and towards the finish
there was but little playing by the
home team and still less by Mandan
which had an uphill pull from the
third inning.
Casselman was relieved in the
third inning by Darfler who did pref
ty good work in the pitchers box.
but his support was very poor. Bull
caught good game. The Mandan
outfielders had about eighteen chanc-
es but only two catches were made
and the work of the infielders was
not much better. #
The Dickinson boys played their
usual game, while there was any
thing to play for, and the practice
was good dope to put them in shape
to play the homesteaders from New
England next Sunday. Howell and
Boltz were the battery for Dickin-
son.
The features were the battery
work of Howell and Boltz and the
fielding and batting Of Hughes and
Williams. It was very gentleman
ly game and the visitors took their
medicine without murmur.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

A mighty persuasive title, but the
story itself. with its intensive pathos
and emotional brilliancy, is mightier
and more persuasive. It grasps the
heart with its appealing earnestness
and amazing fidelity to natures Sc
quence of events.
A story, briefly told, of woman's
faith and trust and of mans duplicity.
"The Old, Old Story''-it has repeated
itself since civilizations early dawn
and unfortunately not always in real
life, do the perpetrators of these foul
crimes against young girls meet with
such justly deserved retribution as
befalls the infamous seducer of this
picture.
The author has laid the principal
scenes among the beautifully impress
sive landscapes of Pennsylvania,
where the Lehigh river wends its
picturesque way among the wooded
hillsides and rugged mountains that
encompass this beautiful valley.
Nellie, the blacksmith's daughter, is
the belle of the village. She has adj
mirers by the score mostly farmer
BOSWELL to do and honest, and
many of them evidently sincere but
lacking in that chief fascination for a
| proud and vain girl, polish, which too
often, and as exemplified by this pic
ture, helps to cover and gid black
heart and lowly disposition.
Then comes into the young woman's
life man of identically the foregoing
type, who, in his attention to the girl,
has no higher object than to further
the lust of a selfish greed. The girls
mother and father see the danger, but
it's The Old, Old Story a young

lurer's lying promises of marriage
and the disgraceful elimination. They

then the awakening; the girl destert,

ed, destitute, Ill. She writes the hor.
rible truth to her heartbroken par.
ents, who bring her home filled with q
raging fever from poverty and expos
ure, that hasten the cruel end. Death
thus saves the young woman from the
taunts and jeers Of her early compan.
ions.
The mother, worn and exhausted
from grief, soon follows her unhappy
child into oblivion. The father, bag
gard and half crazed by the double
loss, takes to drink too often the
i refuge of broken heart.
But vengeance haunts the fathers
soul and clutches his heart with Its
just call to retaliate the crime that
deprived him of his wife and daugh
ter. By the grave of his loved ones
he vows revenge against the perpe
traitor. I.

FASTING AS A RELIGIOUS RIr
Ceremonial Observed by the Japanese
 Twice Year.

From time out of mind, says the Japan Times, certain devotees Of that country have visited celebrated temple at Narita twice year to per form the pious act of fasting within it's sacred precincts. A fasting hall'' has been specially erected for their accommodation and the number enter ing this hall is on the increase. Those who have already lasted in the fasting chamber this year number 226 men and 32 women. Of the whole number 59 lasted less than a week, 174 lasted one week, ten continued fasting two weeks, 14 lasted three weeks and one went without food for five weeks.
 Inquiry as to the motives of the fast CTS showed that 169 men and 25 wom- en desired to rise in. the world, lS men and two women wanted to in. crease their business profits. IS men prayed for the safety of their families 13 men and four women sought cures of diseases and ten men wanted gen eral good luck.
 Only three persons, two men and one woman. lasted in gratitude for the fulfillment of former prayers. Tt need scarcely be said" remarks the Japan Times. that the period of their fast ing was the shortest"

What to Teach the Boys.

A philosopher has said that true education to boys is to teach them what they should know when they become men"
 1. To be true and to be genuine, No education is worth anything thai does not include this.
 2. To be pure in thought, language and life-pcre in mind and in body
 8. To be unselhsh. To care for the feelings and comforts of others. Tc be generous, noble and marly. This will include a genuine reverence fol the aged and for things sacred.
 4. To be self-seliant and self-help ful, even from childhood. To be in dustrious always. and self supoort'. at the earliest proper age. "Ns them that all honest work in hoLor able. that an idle life of dependene on others is disgraceful.
 When a boy has learned these fou things. when he has made these ideai part of the being however poor, O however rich--he has learned th' most important things he ought t know when he becomes a man.

WANTED: ANSWERS TO THESE
Can You Reply to Queries of Young
 Readers?

The editor of the Children's En cyclopedia hit on a happy idea the other week when he invited his young readers to send him questions that they would like answered. The ques tions sent in have proved veritable revelation of the strange paths into which the juvenile mind wanders.
 What color was Adam?' is prob lem that will puzzle the anthropologist; while the Psychical Research society may be interested Tn the question, Where do our spirits go when We go 70 slecp?" In the latter connection comes the startling query, Why have [ dreamed the same thing every night for two years?"
 Among genuine puzzlers, which will oe read sympathetically by every wor' ried father. we may mention: Why does time never stop?" What is the correct age of the skies?" Why don't spiders get caught in their own webs ?' Why does white smoke make the tun- ncls black?" What is the use of heas?"
 As final query for our readers to puzzle over come the questions: Why have Manx cats no tails?" and Why iu the hens cackle when they have laid an egg"

AWBREY'S WOUND
 PROVES FATAL
Young Man Who Was Accidentally Shot While Out Hunting Died From Loss of Blood Thursday
 Night.

Ollie L. Awbrey, age IS, who was shot by his companion, Aldy Ford, while out hunting Thurs. day, died at the home ot his parents, MT. and Mrs. c. c. Awbrey, on Dallas avenue at o'clock Thursday. Death was caused from loss of blood. pr. Davis who attended him found it impossible to revive the hear, action which had practically stopped when he reached the young man.
 It was between 10 and II o'clock Thursday morning when Ollie Awbrey and Aldy Ford, the IT. year.old son of fir. and Mrs. s. M. Ford, went hunting on the B. k. Thompson farm five miles cast of Mena. With Awbrey in the lead, closely followed by Ford, they were working their way through thicket. At this point, as the young man related the fatal incident to the coroner, pr. A. J. Pool, yesterday after noon, Awbrey shot at rabbit. At the same instant he received the shot from his Companion's $ gun in the left leg back of the knee. He sank down saying, You have shot me.
 The Ford boy says he did not know that his gun had been dis charged, but looking he saw Aw- brey's pants leg on fire and found the awful wound.
 Several large arteries had been opened and the blood was rush ing out. The leg was corded with a rope and the Ford boy went to Mir. Thompson's house for assistance to bring his com, pauion to town. He reports that Mir. Thompson said his horses were iu the pasture and Mir Thompson went to stay with Awbrey while Ford went to an other neighbor for conveyance, During this time the wounded boy asked for water but before MT. Thompson returned with Il the conveyance arrived aDc Awbrey was brought 10 his home Dr. Davis said the cording or leg was not tight enough to stol the bleeding. Had it been there was no reason for the young man to dle.
 The Awbreys came to Meni recently from keifer, Ok. The young man was Is years of age The funeral services were helt Saturday afternoon at White Oak cemetery, conducted by the Rev. William Cooksey.
 The young mans father wa at Womble Thursday when th' accident took place.
