SYNOPSIS.

Mr.. Solomon Pratt began comical mar
ration Of story, introducing well-to-do
Nathan Scudder of his town, and Edward
Van Brunt and Martin Hartley, two rich
New Workers seeking rest. Because of
latter pairs lavish expenditure of money,
Pratts first impression was connected
with lunatics. The arrival of James
Hopper, Van Brunt's valet, gave Pratt
the desired information about the New
Workers. They wished to live what they
termed 1.-The Natural Life" Van Brunt
1t was learned, was the successful sutton
for the hand of Miss Agnes Page. who
gave Hartley up. THE Heavenlies' hear
a long story of the domestic woes of
Mrs. Hannah Jane Purvis, their cook and
maid of all work. Decide to let her go
and engage Sol. Pratt as chef. Twins
agree to leave Nate Scudders abode and
begin unavailing search for another
domicile. Adventure at Fourth of July
celebration at Eastwich. Hartley rescued
a boy, known as 'Reddy," from under a
horses feet and the urchin proved to be
one of Miss Pages charges, whom she
had taken to the country for an outing
Miss Page and Hartley were separated
during fierce storm, which followed the
picnic.

One Of the large eastern newspapers
has recently abandoned the comic
supplement" OF its Sunday edition.
The change was followed by a discus
sion in other papers of the merits and
faults Of the comic supplement. Pres
ident Hadley made 1t plain in his re-
cent article in the Youths Companion
that the existence Of any feature" Of
. newspaper, good or bad. is deter

newspapers purvey what they have

esrs, We have no one to blame for
faults but ourselves-and our next

BANDITS HOLD UP :.
 THIRTY DODGERS

Clear Lake, Wn., Oct. 16--Thirty loggers etnployed in q camp near here were last night held up and robbed by two masked bandits, who are now being purSued'by q posse, composed in part of the men. who have been despoiled of total of $150. The bandits have a good start. and as the country through which they are flee ing is very rough it is doubtful if they are captured.
 It was shortlyiafter the supper hour last night when the, bandits appeared to interrupt the evening smoke of the loggers. The latter were assembled in the bunk, house, when a robber appeared in each door. The "hapds upp command was emphasized by the display of revolvers, and the loggers lined up with their faces to the wall, while one of the bandits went through their pockets. .n The bandits worked expeditiously and after satisfying themselves that their victims had pothing of current value left, the. two men slipped into the gloom, advising against pursuit. Two of the victims came to this place for official assistance and the posse Twas soon organized.

TAFT SEES FUTURE
 OF ROSEATE HUE

Wheeling, w. Va. Oct. 16 Presiden- tial Candidate Taft in statement issued today, expresses the belief that he will receive a substantial majority, and further expresses himself as very well satisfied with the entire political situation. With the utmost equanim- ity Mir. Taft disposes of conditions that for weeks have been agitating the party leaders, and the horizon of his view seems unclouded by any fear of defeat.
 Regarding the labor vote, Mir. Taft says that he believes the republican party will be given it's normal support from this source, as, he believes, will also be the case with the farmer vote. Mir. Taft says that he feels certain that the farmers are opposed to any change in policy that will imperil the present prosperity of the country.
 So far as Mir Taft is concerned the political situation in Ohio is deemed perfectly satisfactory. On the whole the Taft statement is one of the mo st optimistic documents issued so far in the progress of the campaign.
