Jack London recently took a hard fall out of John Burroughs and Presi- dent Roosevelt for chasing him with the nature fakirs and denying that animals are endowed with reason. Jacks argument was mighty enter taining reading, and the way he let the wind out of the sage of Slabsides, who has been intimately acquainted with wild life in back yard and therefore thinks himself an authority on all nature, was joy to behold. But it appears that Jack was no more honest than a hired lawyer in argu- ing his case against the President. The editor of Golfers has taken the trouble to read Jacks book, which the President had used to illustrate one of his points against the fakirs, and he declares that "the President never made the dummy statements London belabors, London taking ad- vantage of his own indiscriminate use of the terms wolf and 'wolf-dcg to make the controversy easier for him self by making the President say what he never said" and that If LondOn's field observations in the wild are no more accurate than his recollection of his own writings. he fakes nature as he certainly fakes material against the President

Willie Hearst's performance in lodging the sheriff at Omaha, hiding first behind the petticoats of wo- man and then in a water closet, was characteristic. Hearst always runs away from the trouble his wretched papers make when responsibility is put up to him in person. He even has been known to hide out rather than face his own editors when he has treated them shabbily or means to throw them down to save himself. When his fireworks blew up and killed some people in New York, Yel- low Willie skipped to Mexico to avoid service in suits for damages. He may not lack physical bravery, but he has no moral courage nor anything else to which the adjective could be attached. He is not straight in his dealings, he is untruthful, his word is no good and he is loyal to nobody.

Having solicited and accepted $2,000 for his campaign fund from Clark, of Montana, MT. Bryan cannot consis- tently criticize the course of any con tribution ever made to the funds of Republican committees. Clark is not only an eminent "plutocrat" and "oc- topus" and several other reprehensi- ble things in that line, but in addi- ton to being nefariously wealthy he has been convicted by the Senate of corruption and debauchery of legis- lators. Clark is everything that the Democrats denounce as obnoxious to American institutions. If ever money was tainted that s200O given by Clark to help the Peerless One certainly is putrid.

Bats Have Taken Possession of His.
toric Old Mansion.

Montyille, the colonial home OF Pat
rick Henry, one of the historic places
of Virginia, is TO be burned by its own
ers, the great-grandchildren OF the IA
nous Virginian, because the place has
become overrun with bats.
Since warm weather began there is
no living in or near the place. Bats
by the thousands hang about the grand
parlors and spacious bedrooms of the
mansion.
Attempts to exterminate them by
poison and with clubs have failed
They are in every room. They hang
in strings from the furniture, from the
ceiling, from the walls, and they are
in such numbers that they form cur
tains before the windows, darkening
the house. The house has become I'M
inhabitable.
