With folks feelin' "tollable well!'
There's cause fer the music

The weather's afflicted with shyness,
But the rain-clouds feel '.tollabie well!''
One song fer the country

We rise as we're runnin,-
We're 'tollabIe welll''
The worr wuzn't made In a secon'

So. keep up the chorus!
You never can tell
But Wen reach the bright hilltops-
All "tollable well!'

Literary Mecca Of England.

AL "tollable weI!"

Literary Mecca OF England.
The place to which the lover of
English literature will sooner or later
turn his steps is Twickenham. No
otner small town can boast of having
Deen the residence and beloved abode
OF 50 many famous literary lights.
With 1t are associated the immortal
names of Pope. Horace Walpole, Swift,
Gay, Lady Wortley Montague. Gibbon,
Boswell, johnson. Tennyson and Dick
ems. Surely this is enough to make
any place doubly immortal! Twicken-
ham was well nicknamed by Horace
Walpole the Baiae, or TivoH, of Eng
land; for it has truly been to London
what sBaiae was to ancient Rome-in-
deed, in a far higher degree.
The big red brick house in Mont
pelier Road where Alfred Tennyson
lived for so many years of his earlier
married life was one in which many
Of his earlier poems were written.
Here his son Lionel. the second Lord
Tennyson. was born. and there the
author of the "Idyls" entertained
many of his literary friends and ac-
quaintances.
That house should surely be sacred
to all lovers of English literature
which saw the dawn Of 'In Memo
RAM which witnessed those de-
lightful gatherings graced by Tenny-
son, Hallam and kindred spirits with
in its walls. 1t is today called "Tenny-
son House." and Is now without a
tenant.--Westminste Gazette.
Making Roman Candles.
The. most solitary person In the
world during working hours is the
maker Of roman candles.
He occupies an isolated cell, says
the Technical World, and nobo dy
comes near him while he is engaged
in his patient toll.
The wages he gets are high, but not
by reason of the loneliness to which
he Is condemned; he is paid for the
risks he Is obliged to take.
The quarters occupied by this
eremite artisan, area tiny house, which
might almost be called a nut, with a
floor space not more than six feet
square. Standing by itself, at least
sixty yards from any other structure,
the little building is of wood, of the
simplest architecture.
If 1t were to be blown I'D the
financial loss would be almost. mia
point of some Importance inasmuch as
it's diurnal tenant is obliged to use
considerable quantities of explosives
in the business which engages his at
tention, for a roman candle is a sort
of magazine or repeating gun, with
q paper tube for a barrel and balls of
fire for projectiles.

LOOM BRIGHT WHEN
THE RECORD
Of Decreased PIuraIitieS

Indiana and Illinois Are
Particularly Doubtful.
Missouri Nearly Ger
tain to Swing Back in
Democratic Column,

Washington, July 13.-DemocratiC
leaders who express confidence in
their ability to carry the middle west
ern states for Bryan this fall cannot
be charged with rainbow chasing
when one considers the remarkable
manner in which the unprecedented
pluralities that Roosevelt rolled up in
those states in 1904 have dwindled
away in recent elections. The Re
publican strength has melted like
snow in a chinook wind until in the
state of Indiana at least there is prac-
tically nothing left of it.
Two years ago the congressional
elections in Indiana revealed the as
tonishing fact that the Roosevelt plu-
rality of $4,000 had been wiped out
and that the leading parties broke
even. To the 59th congress, which was
chosen at the same time as Roose-
welt, there were elected but two Dem
oCrats from Indiana. In the con-
gressional election of 1906 the Dem
Ocrats won four seats. thus doubling
llltl4 Dll Gle I'll llOlll illt SldlG III lllt
house of representatives. The nine
members of congress elected from In
diana that year had pluralities rang
ing from $40 to 4786. The total of
the Republican pluralities in the nine
districts carried by that party was
1876.
The four Democratic members chos-
en- from Indiana in 1906 had plurali-
ties ranging from 455 to 4244 and they
totalled 1922. The latter subtracted
from the total Republican pluralities
left the Republicans a net plurality
in the state of only 1894 two years
after they had carried it in a presiden-
tial election by nearly 100000.
In the last two years Indiana Re-
publicans admitted that the condition
of their party has grown steadily
worse and it is now disOrganized and
in thoroughly unsatisfactory shape.
Fairbanks, the Republican favorite
son of the state for the presidential
nomination has been turned down for
first and second place on the national
ticket of the party and he and his
friends are sulking. On the other
hand the Democratic party has placed
on its national ticket as candidate
for vice president an Indiana man of
proved ability dnl great popularity
who will unquestiOnab'y poll the full
Democratic vote of the state and
probably draw heavily from the Re-
publican malcontents.
In view of these conditions the
Democrats have every reason to feel
optimistic over the outlook in the
state. With harmony and enthusi-
asm in the party and an energetic
campaign they can hardly fail to car
ry it for Bryan and Kern. Mr..
Bryan himself will probably make a

Mr.. Hartzell will spend the summer
here as he stated that he had some
business to finish regarding the Nc
Kinley memorial, of which association
he was secretary.
While in the west he spent some
time in taking treatment at Hot
Springs, Arkansas. 1t was highly ben

west he met and lived with many Of
his old time associates whom he met
while United States marshal a num-
Der of years ago. Il enjoyed them
very much and we spent many happy
hours together, reCOunting hardships
and pleasures experienced while in

HaTtZell.
The reason for his return to Canton
at this time was the fact that his son,
Donald, left yesterday morning for
Boston where he will be connected
with one of the biggest engineering
concerns in the country. Donald Hart
zell graduated with honors from the
mechanical engineering department of
Cornell university and the position
secured with the Boston firm is an
important one.

Robert Rifle. son of Patrolman
Patrick Rifle, went before Justice
Boutwell, Monday evening and swore
out a warrant for the arrest of Fred
w. Belinsky, better known in that
portion of the city known as LINER
ick as Sport McCluskey," charging
him with assaulting him. Rifle had
two beautiful black eyes as an evil
dence that he had been in an encoun-
ter. 1t is understood that Rifle went
home with a young lady, whose name
is being withheld, and that Sport"
was formerly her fellow. Rifle claims
that he was seated on the front porch
of the young ladies' residence con-
versing with her when his rival rush
ed in and dealt him a few STAINING
blows, causing the discolorations to
his optics. The girl, it is claimed, was
also struck in the head and a hat
pin that she wore was forced into
her head for some distance This is
the story that was told to Justice
Boutwell, and he issued a warrant for
the arrest Of Belinsky. The trouble
occurred Saturday evening.

Punishment OF a Spy

Next to the Dreyfus case, which con-
vulsed France in 1894 and 1897, the great
est spy sensation of recent years has
been the German case. Colonel Grimm
was an officer in the Russian army who.
about eight years ago, got into serious
money difficulty. To clear himself, he
sold confidential information to both
Germany and Austria. At Grimm S
trial, it came out that he had received
no less than ESQ, 600 from Germany and
Austria. The man was u constituencies
scountlrel- there is no doubt about that
But his fate was So awful that, bad as
he was, it stirs one pity. Trembling,
whining, white faced, he was dragged to
the place of punishment-a pitiable
spectacle. There, before his regiment,
his cpaulets were torn off, his sword
broken, and he was beaten with the
broken half His head was half shaven,
he was stripped, dressed in convict
attire, and chains were welded upon
wrists and ankles. Then, in dead
silence, he was started on the long
journey to the northern waters of
Siberia.

Wigs in Court

American visitors to English court

Times and customs change, but the
Judicial wig Of England remains I'M

to her traditional hcadgcar.
Until 1927 human hair was used in
making the wigs, which were heavily
powdered when worn, but since then
white horschair has been used. While
English hOrSchair is considered the best
the wigmakcrS buy supplies in France.
Russia and even China and South
America.
Every operation in the manufacture
of wigs is by hand except the curling,
and this is done on Il small hand curling
machine. Most of the wigs run from
iwcnty-onc to twcnty-four and half
inches in circumfrancc.
The wig of the average member of the
bar costs $40. Full bOttomcd wigs, such
as are occasionally worn by judges and
The kings counsel and always by the
Speaker OF the house of commons, cost
about 800.
