not even simple comforts. Yet she had
a fire and roof and a stone floor, bed,
some chairs, and blankets.
Wrapped in the blankets, she sat be-
fore the fire and maintained her proud
spirit, vehemently declaring her inGepend-

her shortly before she died.

Taft's Campaign Managers-Action
Considered Probable This Week.

It is understood that Frank H. Hitch
cock will retire from the office of First
Assistant Postmaster General on Febru-
airy ]. His resignation has not been ten
dered yet, but he has made known his
intention to leave the government service.
While no official statement ON the sub
ieet IS obtainable there is good reason
to believe that Mr. Hitchcock's decision
to resign is due to an acceptance OF an
offer TO be one of the campaign managers
for William H. Taft
Reports About Hitchcock.
Mr. Hitchcock has come into consider
able prominence in the last year or so.
in connection with reports that he was
working to control Southern State dele
cations 10 the Republican national con-
vention. While there had been much
newspaper space given to accounts of his
alleged activity, no cogEizance was taken
OF press statements by the edmnistra-
tion until shortly before the meeting OF
the Republican National Committee IN
Washington. early in December. when
Mr.. Hitchcock was told to cease any ef-
forts he was making In behalf of the
denomination of President Roosevelt for
a third term.
On top of the warning came the PTesi-
dents letter to Cabinet officers 10 in
struct their subordinates that they must
not advocate Mr.. Roosevelts nomination.
When the national committee met iu
Washington on December Z the President
was tcld that Alr. Hitchcock had not
ceased his efforts. and that he was really
working 10 bring about the nomination
of Secretary of the Treasury COrtelyou
for the Presidency.
What the President heard in this con-
nection was responsible Ia part for Alr.
Roosevelts repetition of his third-term
remuneration. lit was represented TO the
President that as long as there was an
uncertainty as 20 his position with refer
ence TO the nomination, Just that long
would Mr.. Taft's candidacy be retarded.
and other candidates manage to obtain
delegates for themselves under cover Of
the pretense that they were working for
Mr.. Roosevelt
Administration Not Sure.
Later on the administration was not IS
sure as it had been that there was d Cor
tely0u-Hitdhcock conspiracy, and the cold
shoulder that had been turned in Mr.
Hitchcock's direction was rubbed up a bit
until It gradually assumed a warm and
ruddy hue. Then Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Hitch
cock were brought together and MIR
Hitchcock began to look with interest on
the Taft boom
The understanding in weli-infoTmed cir
cles is that Mr. Hitchcock viii leave the
service Of the government about the end
Of this week and give his undivided atten-
ton TO Mr. Tafts political interests

A REAPER RACE.
e@o@~e@o~e~~~ee~~~e~~~e
NO%-NNOO~N~o

In the early days Of the exploitation
Of various reaping- machines, a field
demonstration, usually competitive,
was a necessary occurrence. II. n.
Casson, in a recent book, THE Ro-
nance of the Reaper" tells the follow
ing story of William n. Whlteley, "the
Charlemagne of the harvest field":
He was as tall as sapling an
strong as a tree. AS professor in
the great school of agriculture, he has
never been surpassed. He could out
talk, outwork, and generally outwit
the men who were sent against him.
He was a whole exhibition in himself.
i've seen Bill Whitley racing his
horses through the grain and leaning
over with his long arms to pick the
mice's nests from just in front Of the
knife" said an old Ohio settler.
The feat that first made Whiteley
famous was performed at Jamestown,
Ohio, In 1867. His competitor was do
ing a good work as he was, whereupon
he sprang from his seat, unhitched one
horse, and finished his course with a
single surprised steed pulling the heavy
machine.
His competitor followed suit, and
succeeded fully as well.
This enraged Whiteley, who at that
time was as powerful as young Her
cules.
Il can pull that reaper myself" he
shouted, turning his second horse loose,
and yoking his big shoulders into the
harness.
Such a thing had never been done
before, and has never been done since I;
but it is true that in the passion of the
moment, Whiteley was filled with such
strength that he ran the reaper from
one side of the field to the other, cut
ting a full swath--a deed that, had he
done it in ancient Greece, would have
placed him among the immortals.
That ten minutes in a horse-collar
made two million dollars for Whiteley.
His antagonist, Benjamin II. Warder,
was filed with admiration for White
ley's prowess, and at once proposed
that they should quit fighting and work
in harmony.
Give me the right to make your
reaper, and I'll pay you five dollars
apiece for all can SELL" said Warder.
Its bargain" responded White
ley. And so there arose the first con-
solidation in the harvester business.

REVIVAL OF DICKENS NEAR.

Instead of snubbing Man, She Looks
Up to Him as n Superior Being.
We are threatened-andt there is no
use any longer Disgusting the fact
with a formidable revival Of the Dick

thoughtless moment, reintroduced the

of bllnker for motoring. and the head

pretty young woman, reminded nu-

surely come a revival Of the feminine
manners, the feminine attitude of the
40s and sos 1t will be a surprising
volte-face. Missy will have to put away
her golf clubs and hockey sticks, and
