SENATOR BRADLEY
Fires BrOadSide Into the Taft
Camp.

AS train passed through Paris
KY, on Wednesday, in speech o.
twenty minutes Senator-elect w
o. Bradley fired some hot shot
into the camp of the Taft supper
tiers. Senator Bradley arrived
from Middlesboro en- route to Gov.
ington.
AS soon as the train came to 9
-stMdstill the Senator, taking a
carriage, was driven far enough
away TO escape the noise of pass
ing locomotives, and proceeded to
excoriate his political opponents.
He said he had been on the fir
ing line for forty years, and that
those who were now fighting him
were the spoilsmen, who lust be-
fore the convention became promi-
nent but afterward sunk into
oblivion"
Senator Bradley said that every
m, n had a right to his choice, but
d ~ man who was for Taft was not
his political friend. He addressed
himself particularly to the negroes
and told them that he had always
been their friend and would be
their friend after the convention
He paid his compliments to Col
lector Sam j. Roberts, who, he
said, had opposed him for the
Senatorship and who was now
parcelling out Federal jobs as the
price of support for Taft"
He declared with biting sar-
casm that little Sam Roberts in
Republican politics had not been a
tadpole long enough to drop his
tail and become respectable look
ing frog" that he (Roberts) had
stabbed him in the back, and that
it was now too late to lie about it,
The Senator asserted that he
was not a pie hunter nor a pie dis
penSer; that he was Senator by the
grace of four Democrats who had
once in their lives voted right, and
that when he reached Washington
he proposed to do something for
his State and country and that he
would be Senator in all the word
implied.
Governor Bradley said the Dem
ocraA had always fought him in
1.-THE open, but every time he had
been stabbed in the back it came
| from Republicans of the type of
|Sam Roberts"
The supporters of Taft pur-
|posely absented themselves with
hut few exceptions, and are in
high glee at what they term was

enthusiasm accorded the warning

The love of poetry is strong in Mr.. Hay
wards soul. His poets are his greatest
friends. save only the little home that he
has buided above his fellow-man.
He has published little volume of poetry
entitled Flowers of Memory" Among
the verses that show the spirit and char
acter of the man is this one:
And in days and years hereafter.
When hear thy winsome laughter
At the shrine of Memory's throne
With footsteps peaceful trendinS
Toward the last OF earthly ending,
Then cannot be alone
For the flowers of memory greeting
Will find friends in every meeting
At the shrine OF Memcry's throne:
While the songs and laughter pealIns,
Give the heart tender feeling,
Then cannot be alone

and the light step of the dancers as they
tread measure on the pavilion floor echoes
and reverberates through the quiet house.
All are cordially welcomed by the owner
when he is there. and when he is not they
are welcome anyhow.
Col Hayward lives in his tree winter
and summer. The houses are strongly
built and withstand easily the rage of the
bowling gales that shrek about the door
The car line is near. and the man in the
tree is an early riser.
SO he is always happy, even though he

Hayward
You return to the dining room in Hay

you prepare to hear how he came by his
unusual idea 1t is a story. DELIGHTFUL
as {, child fairy tale. of how a man who
was broken in health and spirit sought ma
ture in her primeval beauty, and finding
her regained both. To begin with. Mr.
Hayward is really not a mister. but colo
mel, honorably discharged because of in
capacity resulting from wound that
cost him an arm.
At the opening Of the civil war Col. Hay
ward then in the prime of his vigorous
life, enlisted in New Hampshire regi-
ment. At the battle of Cold Harbor a
solid shot carried away his right arm at
the shoulder. For a long time after the
wound healed his health impaired
and as age slowly crept upon him he
founG himself gradually growing worse
AMI worse. Nothing seemed to help him.
Medicine was of little account, and there
was no tonic strong enough to take away
that deadly laSSitude that first warns the
sufferer that his system is giving way.
He finally determined to do away with
medicine and seek a life devoid of artifi-
ciality. All things that pertained to civ
iiZatiOn. in it's accepted sense, he resolved
to fOrSake.
His First Tree Home
June "A. 1883. Mr. Hayward built his
first house in a tree on the side OF what
is now the old 1ith street road-midway
between the new boundary line at Park
road and Brghtwood. There covered
for a time by only a canvas tent he
lived and gained i'll strength and was
happy. But as time went by he was forced
to move. At first he sought out Capitol
Heights, but not finding the conditions
there as he wished he left and several
years ago went to his present home,
Haywarden.
Il love the place for many reasons"
says the promoter of the higher life. land

You are tempted to ask questions, but

charm-the sylvan peacefulness that is
upon everything.
So, mute and wondering, you are led to

Green Inn" This is perhaps the most
delightful of the three buildings 1t con-
sstS Of a long. wide pavilion. shaded on
three sides by the caressing leaves of
the trees that grow about. The heavy
boughs form rustic bower that keeps
the little spot eternally in a soft semi
shadow.
The floor of the pavilion is smooth and
you can dance if you so inclined-and
you usually feel inclined to dance. At
one end of the pavilion is small room,
rustic as all the rest of the aerial cot
tages known as the music hall. In this
room are all kinds of Instruments. chief
among them large piano. AS you near
