CHOICE MISCELLANY
Both With Good Husbands.

A short time ago in one of the pub
lie gardens in Vienna a steamstress
found herself seated beside a quiet,
plainly dressed woman who was also
sewing. They fell into conversation
about domestic affairs, telling each 9th
er how they made their own frocks
and those of their children. Il like to
occupy myself with this sort Of work"
said the seamstress. $50 do l." re-
piled the other woman. 1T is one of
my greatest pleasures" Then, as fur
ther confidence seemed in order, my
husband is a good man," the little
seamstress continued 80 Is mine"
admitted the other woman. Mine
works in a railway station, as his fa-
ther did before him." said the seam
stress, encouraged to go still deeper
into her history by her listeners inter-
est. my own father was wood
carver. What was yours" After a
moments hesitation the other woman
said simply, "My father is Francis Jo-
seph." And, in fact. it was the daugh-
ter of the Austrian emperor, the Arch
duchess Gisela, wife of the regent OF
Bavaria, who was sewing in the public
garden in Vienna.

Forest Wealth Of Alaska.

Although the hardwood men OF the
United States may have to witness
with alarm the depreciation OF the
area of oak and walnut in the Ap-

sort left on the continent" remarked

The Evils of Drink.

The evils which are connected
with the drinking habit are gi-
gantic; thousands of lives and
many more thousands of house
holds are the victims every year;
disease and poverty and crime
grow up where alcohol drenches
the soil.
But is this undeniable fact
really a proof of the wisdom of
prohibition? The railroads of
the United States injured last
year more than one hundred
thousand persons and put out
seven thousand hopeful lives;
does any sane man argue that
we ought to abolish railroads?
The stock exchange has brought
in the last year economic misery
to uncounted homes, but even at
the height of the panic no one
wanted to destroy the market for
industrial stocks. How much
crime and disaster and disease
and ruin have come into the lives
of American youth through wo-
men, and yet who doubts that
women are the blessing Of the
whole national life? To say that
certain evils come from certain
source suggests only to fools the
hasty annihilation of the source
before studying whether greater
evils might not result from it's
destruction, and without asking
whether the evils might not be
reduced, and the good from the
same source remain untouched
and untampered with. Even if
a hollow tooth aches, the modern
dentist does not think of pulling
it; that would be the remedy of
the clumsy village barber. Prof.

SOME or TAFT'S TRAITS.
Distinguishing Characteristics of the
Republican Nominee.

Dlstin9uishIng Characteristics Of the
Republican Nominee.
Combatlve. altrulsm is Mr.. Tafts
most distinguishing characteristic. AS
secretary of war he has earned the
worldwide sobriQuet of secretary of
peace" He has fought some hard bat.
ties, but they were with bloodless
weapons, and the results were victories
for peace. The greater the degree Of
altruism the keener was his zeal, the
harder and more persistent his battle.
The greatest struggle of his career, In
which he disregarded utterly his set
tied ambition and cheerfully faced
continuing and serious menace to life
Itself, was ON behalf of the weakest
and most helpless object in whose
cause he was ever enlisted-the Filipi-
no people. That was the purest and
loftiest altruism.
But, although this is the dominant
trait Of Mr.. Taft. he is well known for
other qualities. His judicial tempera-
ment, founded upon deep seated, COM
prehensive and ever alert sense OF
right and wrong; his courage, proved
by repeated and strenuous tests; his
calm, imperturbable judgment and his
all embracing sympathy are character
istics that have been often and widely
noted. They are his by right of in
heritance from generations of broad
minded. upright men and women. The
development of his country has extend
ed the range Of his opportunity and
given greater scope to his activities
than was enjoyed by Alphonso Taft,
his father, or Peter Rawson Taft, his
grandfather, but in character and intel
lect he is their true descendant.
The American people know Mr.. Taft
as man Of pervaslve good humor, al
ways ready with a hearty laugh and
quick to see fun In any situation. His
other side has not often appeared, but
he is capable of tremendous wrath.
Nothing arouses 1t more quickly than
unfaithfulness to a trust or an exhibit

suns W tic DOllOll lIlSlduIly. ne
has broad, keen, quick. all embrac-
ing sympathy, always ready to respond
to any call. His sense of Justice Is
wonderfully quick springing and alert.
And he has a genuine fondness for
work. which enables him to derive real
pleasure from his task. These qualifi-
cations are the endowment of an un-
usually gifted man. The people know,
because they have seen, his ability to
turn off an enormous amount of work.
They have seen him prove an excep-
tional executive ability. They have
seen him manifest an equipment for
the presidency such as no other man
has shown before his election to that
Office. In experience, training and abil-
ity Mr.. Taft has amply proved his fit
ness for the chief magistracy of the
nation.

LABORERS DECEIVED
BY FAKE CONTRACTOR

Dakota City, Neb., Oct. H.-Frank
Walker, a gentlemanly appearing mar
with a business turn which won conf
dence readily, Is wanted here by nearly
w score corn huskerS, who worked
for him for 10 days and got nothing out
or 1t but their board. The local hotel
would also like to see him long enough
to collect a $40 board bill. He Is also
supposed to have stolen a gun. There
are other minor obligations formed by
him In a two weeks residence here,
that aus people to watch for him
with more interest than would attach
to q total stranger. ....-L
Walker with his wife and two small
children came here about three weeks
g with a single rig and horse, put
ting up at the leading hotel. A few
days later he made a contract with e.
III. Gribble and II. e. Brown, extensive
farmers, to husk their corn for 3hs
cents a bushel, he to board his own
men. This is the usual price where
the owner of the corn furnishes the
board. E
Wednesday afternoon the wife and
children took a ride with the horse
and buggy and did not return. Friday
Walker collected $50 on his contract
with Mr.. Gribble. Saturday was pay
day, but there was nc one to do the
paying. Walker had disappeared. The
only charge on which he could be held
IL caught is for stealing the gum, and
he may have disposed of that, but II he
the men whom he had beaten found
ont that they had been fiim-f1ammed,
he would have been roughly handled.
Walker had even gone SO far as to Dor
row $50 from one of the men working
for him and this was not repaid.
