CLEANS UP $4,000
PLAYING ROULETTE
Riley Grammar, the PIuneer, Makes
Killing at Reno. Nevada
Breaks Gambling House.

Reno, New, March l9.--Once more
the wheel of fortune rolls under the
chariot of Riley Grammar, the plung-
er. Last night at the Rawhide he
broke the gambling house of Carl
Young, winning s52 1000. At one time
he had Young's roof tree in jeop.
ardy, but on the next roll of the mar.
bic he lost.
This was his last bet. Had he won
this wager he would have been $34,.
600 better off, for Young's saloon is
valued at $4,000, and his total win.
nings would have reached the sum of
$4,000.
The game at which Grammar made
his killing was roulette, and the
noted plunger played with the same
nonchalance he displayed in the days
when at the race track. He wagered
$4,000 in single bet against Jim
Kenne's $1,000. He is having a place
of his own built, and in leisure mo.
ment dropped into Young's place.

IOWA DELEGATION
TO VOTE FOR TAFT
No Opposition Develops to Secretary's
Candidacy in State Convention Held
Held at Des Moines.

Des Moines, Ia, March 19.-The Re-
publican state convention yesterday
elected four delegates at large to the
national convention, instructed them
to vote for William H. Taft, endorsed
Senator William B. Allison by a vote
of 672 1924 to 507 7-24 and approved
the plank of the Ohio platform calling
for revision of the tariff at spec.
ial session Of Congress.
The Allison forces dominated the
convention from its beginning to its
close and had things their own way
throughout. The Cummins people. al
though defeated in the convention,
took special delight in having as they
declared, forced the "stand patters"
to endorse a plank calling for revi-
sion of the tariff and they made a
point of frequently reminding the AL.
lison people of the fact.
The latter insisted, however, there
are as many revisionists in their
ranks as with the Cummns men. The
platform reads:
I'VE declare unequiyocally for pro.
lection as the cardinal principles Of
the Republican party and we affirm
our unalterable purpose to maintain
it.
Events have confirmed the wisdom
of the makers of the national plat
form of 1904. wherein the party
pledges readjustment of rates of duty
only when conditions so change that
the public interests demand their al.
teration.' In accordance with this
declaration Of four years ago the Re-
publican party of Iowa endorses the
declaration of the Ohio Republican
platforms of this year in behalf Of
revision of the tariff by special ses
sion of the next Congress insuring the
maintenance of the true principle of
protection by imposing such customs
in the United States as will equal the
difference between the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad, together
with reasonable profit. to the end
that without excessive duties Ameri-
can manufacturers, farmers, produc-
ers and wage earners may have ade-
quate protection
"We favor the nomination of Will
liam H. Taft by the Republican con-
vention to assemble on the 10th of
June. We have confidence in his
ability, his independent manhood, his
comprehension of large and vital
public possessions, hYs uncompromis-
ing integrity and his unfaultering
courage. We believe him to be the
choice of the Republicans OF this
state who have never failed to endorse
the official record of President Roose.
welt.
Therefore, we unequivocally in
struct our delegates at large to vote
for William H. Taft and We earnestly
request them and our district dele
gates to use their united influence in
support Of the Taft candidacy"

Trees and Fools.

Any fool can destroy trees. They
cannot run away, and II they could
they would still be destroyed-Chased
and hunted down rs long as fun or n
dollar could be got out of their bark
hides, branching horns or magnificent
bole backbones. Few that fell trees
plant them. Nor would planting avail
much toward getting back anything
like the noble primeval forests. Dur
ing a mans life only saplings can be
grown In the place Of the old trees,
tens Of centuries old, that have been
destroyed. 1t took more than 5000
years to make some of the trees In
these western woods--trees that are
still standing In perfect strength and
beauty, waving and singing In the
mighty forests Of the Sierra. God has
cared for these trees, saved them from
drought, disease, avalanchcs and n
thousand straining, levellng tempests
and floods, but he cannot save them
from fools. Only Uncle Sam can do
that.-J0hn Muir Of California.

THE TREES ROOTS.
Something About What 10 Called Plant
lntelliucnce,


As the animal is nearer to us than
the vegetable, SO is animal intelligence
nearer akin to our own than plant In
telligence. We hear of plant physi-
ology, but not yet of plant psychology.
When plant growing in n darkened
room leans toward the light the lean
Ing. we are taught, is ii purely me-
chanical process. The effect of the
light upon the cells Of the plant brings
1t about In purely mechanical way,
but when an animal Is drawn TO the
light the process Is much more com
pick one and implies nervous system.
1t is thought by some that the roots Of
water loving plant divine the water
from afar and run toward 1t. Tho
truth Is the plant or tree sends Its roots
in all directions, but those on the side
Of water find the ground molster In
that direction and their growth Is ac-
CELEBRATED, while the others are checked
by the dryness of the soil. An ash
tree stands on rocky slope where the
soil Is thin and poor twenty or twenty
five feet from my garden. After awhile
1t sent SO many roots down into the
garden and so robbed the garden vege-
tables Of the fertilizers that we cut the
roots off and dug trench to keep the
tree from sending more. Now, the gar
dener thought the tree OWNED the rich
pasturage down below there and reach
ed for 1t accordingly. The truth Is,
suppose, that the roots on that side
found little more and better soil and
SO pushed on till they reached the gar
den, where they were at once 30 well
fed that they multiplied and extended
themselves rapidly. The tree waxed
strong and every season sent more and
stronger roots into the garden.-IQhn
Burroughs in Outing Magazine.
