to the newspapers.
Following Taft's example, "the
allies" established their publicity
bureau. They were little late
getting into the game, but the
industry of their press agents in
dicates a commendable effort to
make up for lost time. Their chief
publicity man Is also a correspond
ent from Ohio, whose experience
and general knowledge of politics
is only little less than Taft's
chief advertising manager.
Within the past week, both the
johnson and Gray Democratic
booms have attached to themselves

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, ID. g., May 15-This
Is press agent campaign. Never III
the history of presidential politics
have the possibilities of publicity
by means OF the press been SO
thoroughly appreciated and seized
upon.
The methods originated by the
circus and the stage and latterly
folloewd by the great commercial
and industrial corporations are
now being employed, with sundry
up-to-date improvements, by all
the candidates for the Republican
the Presidency.
Each of them has a regular Gilt
erary bureauO here in Washington
with branches in other sections
OF the country "where they viii do
the most good" Each bureau is
managed by a newspaper man OF
ability experience and wide ac-
quaintance among his fellow crafts
men and public men generally. The
duty OF the modern political press
lgent Is not only TO disseminate
information about the progress of
his chiefs campaign for delegates
but to manufacture favorable sen
timent on behalf of his candidacy.
He must be both journalist and
diplomatist. When he is not en-
gagged in purely literary pursuits. he
is expected 10 glad hand visiting
political chieftains and convince
them that the fate OF the nation
rests In the nomination of SO and

Anti-naft forces are now claim
ing that a deal has been put
through with Wall street which
will insure the support OF the war
secretary by the money power of
the East. Such a thing has been
suspected for some time. Many
men have been at loss to ex-
plain how it comes that Wall
street has been favorable to Taft
when 1t was announced that he
was to carry out the Roosevelt
policies

The McKees were granted

The McKees were granted a
divorce and the decree was based
upon the petition OF the plaintiff
and the cross petition OF the de-
fendant. This is about the first
instance of this kind and 1t marks
an epoch in divorce matters. The
probability is that the court which
granted the decree got down to
the bottom of the matter and
found, like many others should
that both we're to blame for the
domestic difficulties.

At the street stands where milk shakes, lemonades and butternflk compose the liquid refreshments, the last is called once.

 That. however, is the wrong way to drink buttermilk. It should be taken into tSe mouth a swallow at a time, aI- lowed to mix with the saliva. and then slowly swallowed. Tn this way the full benefit Is extracted from it's cooling qualities and it's effects on the stomach is distinctly soothing. When drained in large guIps, however, it lies in the stomach like dead weight, producing a feeling of heaviness instead of refresh- ment Buttermilk in New York is dIs- tinguished for its conspicious lack of butter.

The modern dairy carefully extracts all these butter particles before putting the liquid in the market.

HISTORICAL PAGEANT
rHIRTY-FIvE HUNDRED ACTORS
 TAKE PART.
Prince of Wales Occupied the Royal Box on the Plains of Abraham and Witnessed the
 Production.

Quebec. July 25.-The Prince of Wales occupied the royal box on the Plains of Abraham this evening to witness the pageant depicting the ro- mantle history of old France in Can ada.
 It was a production after the style of old time mystery plays presented on a scale of vast magnitude with over $500 actors taking the many roles. It was also the first appearance of the so- called historical pageant on this side of the Atlantic. Frank Lascelles. who got up the notable Oxford pageant. portraying tho history of the English university town, acted as master of ceremonies. and 1t was under his di- rection that the huge drama was en- acted today before the Prince and an audience of 15.000. The earlier scenes included hundreds of Indians camping on the site Of Quebec and the landing of Jacques Cartier and his band among the Indians.
 Later the scene changed to the French court at Fontainebleu and the Louvre, where Champlain was commits sioned to set out for Quebec The court scenes were given by upwards of 1.500 courtiers and court ladies drawn from the leading families and several hundred horses with the open plain forming the stage on which this army of players went through their histori- cal pieces. The final scene showed the armies of Wolfe and Montcalm in num- bers almost eQualing the original ar mics. marching sideby side in parade of honor.
 The Prince followed the production with much interest and complimented the players on their success. The Prince early today reviewed the inter national fleet of warships in the har- Dor, embarking at Kings Wharf and passing down the line of British. French and American ships.
