DENY PRESIDENT WAS SHOT AT
Nothing In Story Say Secret Service
Men, Who Catch a Crank.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept 8. = The
news that an armed crank had at
tempted to reach the president at Sag
amore Hill started series of the
usual rumors accompanying such an
incident. The one most widely circu-
lated was to the effect that shot had
been fired at the president while he
was out horseback riding last Satur-
day. 1t was said that the president
was riding along the Cove road near
the house of his cousin, w. Emlen
Roosevelt, when he was fired upon by
some one concealed in clump of
bushes at the roadside.
That there was any foundation for
the story was denied by those in a
position to know. James Sloan, Jr.,.
the chief of the presidents guard of
MED the story of the ambush, and his
denial was echoed by the other man
who was said to have been with the
president,
One story declares that the would be
assassin, hidden in the bushes at the
roadside, fired at the president with a
revolver, the bullet whizzing over Mr..
Roosevelt's head.
A crank with an old bulldog re-
volver was caught near the presi-
dents house at Sycamore Hin by the
secret service guards. The man de-
scribed himself as John Coughlin, a
detective, and when stopped by the
secret service men presented a card
upon which was inscribed his name
and the word officer" He said that
he had come to ask the president to
order out 10000 troops to catch yegg-
men, who had been terrorizing Boston
recently.
Coughlin was taken in an automobile
to the oyster Bay town hall, where he
was arraigned before Justice of the
Peace Franklin on a charge of carry
ing concealed weapons Justice Frank
lin committed Coughlin to the county
Jail at Mineola and he was taken
there at once in the government auto
mobile. During his detention at the
county jail Coughlin win be examined
as to his sanity.
According to the secret service men
Coughlin told them that he had been
confined for three years in an asylum
for the insane at WaIpole, Mass.

Co. was near at hand and after station
ing men below to watch for the boy
had the gates raised. The boy shot
under the gate with great force and

Republicans Win by Twenty nine
Thousand-Both Sides Lose.
Montpelier, VT, Sept. S.-The Repub-
licans won the election in Vermont by
carrying the state for Lieutenant Gov
ernor George II. Prouty of Newport
for governor by about $4,000 votes
over James e. Burke of Burlington,
his Democratic opponent. The plu-
raiity was the smallest on presiden-
tial year since 1892, when it was only
1886 and was followed by a Demo-
cratic national victory, but it was
larger than in 1888 and only slightly
less than in 1900. There was a falling
off in four years of about per cent in
the Republican vote, while the Demo.
cratic vote fell off about 2 per cent.
The Independence party appeared for
the first time and polled about 1000
votes, while the Prohibition and So
cialistic vote remained about the same.
Astute politicians profess to be able
to obtain from the plurality figures
some indication of the attitude of the
people on national issues, especially

HUMoR OF THE HOUR
Those Little Chairs.

Aunt Alice died young and left set
of the most beautiful doll chairs.
Grandma sometimes showed them to
her grandchildren, saying mournfully,
"They belonged to your Aunt Alice,
who died at the age of nine years"
In the fullness of time the grand
mother passed away, but all the family
felt what sacrilege it would be to let
the little chairs be played with, so they
continued to be kept on a shelf just out
of reach Of Jacks busy little hands.
Jack was four years old and re-
sourceful, and he loved those little
chairs. He used to stand below the
shelf and ponder ways and means by
which he might acquire them.
One day he came slowly downstairs
at lunchtime after a period spent in
alteration of the chairs, and his family
noted an unusual thougakfulness on his
baby brow. Halfway down he paused,
one hand on the banister.
Mamma" he said slowly, did dram
