Spiders With Tails.

The only insect which enjoys the
luxury of tail is little spider found
I'm the northeast of Tasmania. This
insect is pale greenish brown in col
or, and its body when full grown is
Just about the size of a sunflower
seed. In times Of peace the tail, which
IS three-eighths to a quarter of an inch
In length, lies placid and straight but
when on the warpath it is drawn up
into an angry, vertical position. The
spider is, however, harmless, and the
mosquito is its favorite diet. Its
domestic life is a villainous one, for
when old enough to assert it's indie
pendence it deyours it's parents and
takes full possession of the parental
web.-Melbourne Every Saturday.

BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown

There is badge of honesty on every

What Do They. Cure? This ques-
ton is often asked concerning DR..
Pierce's two leading medicines, "Golden
Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Pre-
scription.n H .a, a=.. .+ ~
The answer is that "Golden Medical
Discovery" is most potent Alternative
or blood-purifer, and tonic or invigor-
ator and acts especially favorably in a
curative and healing way upon all the:
mucous lining surfaces as of the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder, curing large
per cent. of catarrhal cases whether the
disease affects the nasal passages, the
throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach las
catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels las mucous
diarrhea), bladder, uterus or other
pelvic organs. Even in the chronic or
ulcerative stages of these affections, it,
is often successful in ehecting cures.
The Favorite Prescription is advised
for the cure of one class of diseases only
those peculiar weaknesses, derange-
ments and irregularities incident to
women. 1t is a powerful yet gen.
tly acting invigorating tonic and
nervine. For weak, worm
out, over-worked women-no matter
what has caused the breakdown, VIA
vorite Prescription will be found most
effective, in building up the strength,
the womanly functions, sub

vigorous condition of tie whole system.

Candidates for
Vice Presidency,

Chicago, June 1S.-A meeting of
prominent Republicans most but not
all of them supporters of Sec. Taft,
was held tonight at the rooms of
Frank H. Hitchcock, one of Mr.. Taft's
managers. The meeting began at 10
o'clock and was still in session at mid
night. 1t had been the expectation that
this conference would decide upon an
available candidate for the Vice Pres
idential nomination and it was even
by some that the view of
Sec. Taft as to the choice of a COM
panion on the ticket would be made
known. In both respects the meeting
was disappointment. The situation
had been reported to Mr.. Taft by wire,
but at late hour no definite prefer
ence had been expressed by him.
In the absence Of a statement from
the Presidential nominee the conference
busted itself with a discussion of the
situation and doing so the availability
of many men was discussed. The pre-
ponderance of opinion seemed to be
favorable to the selection of some man
from the Mississippi valley and the
names of Senator Dolliver and Gov.
Cumnlins were frequently mentioned.
The meeting was made aware of the
action of the Iowa delegation in de-
Gliding to withdraw the name OF SEN
ator! Dplliver in case it should be pre-

Throughout the afternoon preceding
the announcement of his nomination
the secretary had been laboring under
suppressed nervous tension. The at
mosphere of his Office was electric
with excitement. Notwithstanding the
great personal interest in the proceed
ings at Chicago, Sec. Taft did not al
low politics to interfere for a moment
with his transaction of official business
as secretary of war. In the intermis-
sion of the receipt of bulletins from
the convention the secretary disposed

VALUE OF INJUNCTION

At Clark College.

Worcester. Mass, June 1S-With-
out referring directly to the possible
action of the Republican national con-
vention at Chicago on the proposed
plank in the platform concerning the
issuance of injunctions by the courts,
Associate Justice David J. Brewer of
the United States supreme court made
vigorous defense of the courts and of
the injunction in the course of an adj
dress at the Commencement exercises
of Clark College today. Justice Brew
er said in part:
There never was q time in the his
tory of the nation when the full re-
straining power of the equity court
was of so much Importance to the ma

equity court is worth vastly more than
the Furnishing power of the criminal
court. l know that labor organizations
are especially energetic in claiming
that tine power of the injunction is
used mainly against them. OF Course
this is not true. The restraining pow

dietary improved until all people will

conference of several hours at the

THE PRESIDENT
Receives News Of Taft's Nomination
While Playing Tennis.

Washington, June 1S.-The President
was playing tennis with Assistant
Secretary Bacon of the state depart
ment when Sec. Loeb took him the
news of the nomination of Sec. Taft for
the Presidency by the Republican ma
tional convention. He had previously
prepared a statement declaring Mr..
Taft to be the very best candidate the
Republican party could get for the
high honor paid him today, and as
soon as the news Of the nomination
reached him it was given to the news
papers. Then he continued with his
game of singles until the time ar
rived to go into dinner.
While the day was one of great in
terest and while Mr.. Roosevelt read
all the important news bulletins there
was no such intense period as that
which characterized the previous day,
when for nearly an hour the conven-
for the President.
There were many callers at the
White House during the day, Sec Taft
remaining in the Executive office for
nearly an hour in the morning. Other
visitors VINO saw the President occu-
pied his time quite fully, but at 3
O'Clock he broke his custom by going
out driving for an hour with Mrs
Roosevelt. Their horses had been for
wardcd to Oyster Bay, so they decid-
ed to forgo their customary recreation
of horseback riding.
AS tho President was away from the
White House during the period when
nominations We're being made in Chi
cago, some comment was made as to
what effect his absence might have in
case there should be a stampede of the
convention favoring his nomination,
when it would be impossible to get
word to him, but there proved to be
no need of apprehension on that ac-
This evening by invitation Sec. Taft
went to the White House.

Presidential nomination having been re-
moved by the result Of the first ballot
at Chicago today, significant hints were
dropped tonight that the same reason
for restraint in that matter no longere ex-
listed.
1t is known that there has been con-
slant exchange of kilograms between
Washington and Chicago regarding the
procedure in the fact that the President,
seconded by Sec. Taft only 4S hours ago
allowed the statement to emanate from
the White House that either Senator Dol
liver or Governor Cummins of Iowa
would be acceptable as second on the
ticket with Sec. Taft.
AS Senator Dolliver has already signi-
fed his indisposi:ion to accept the nomi-
nation it is therefore deduced that the
logical administration candidate is the
man who first opened in the West the
great question of tariff reform by the
Republican party.

President Approves
OF Nomination of
Secretary Taft.

Washington, June 1S.--Immediately
upon receiving news of the nomination
of Secretary Taft for the Presidency,
President Roosevelt said:
Il feel that the country is indeed to
be congratulated upon the nomination
of Mr.. Taft l have known him for
many years and l have peculiar feel
ing for him because throughout that
time we have worked for the same OBJ
ject with the same purposes and ideals.
I do not believe there can be found in
the whole country man so well fitted
to be President.
He is not only absolutely fearless,
interested and upright but he has the
widest acquaintance with the nations
needs without and within and the
broadcast sympathies with all our cici-
zens. He would be as emphatcally a
President of the plain people as Lin
coin, yet not Lincoln himself would
be freer from the least faint of de-
magony, the least tendency to arouse
Or appeal to class hatred of any kind
He has peculiar and intimate knowl-
edge of and sympathy with the needs
of all our people-of the farmer of
the business man, of the property own
err, of the wage worker.
mo matter what a mans occupation
or social position, no matter what his
creed, his color or the section of the
country from which he comes, if he is
an honest, hard working man who
tried to do his duty toward his neigh
Dor and toward the country, he can
rest assured that he will have in Mr..
Taft the most upright of representa-
tives and the most fearless of cham
pions.
Mr. Taft stands again against privil-
eye, and he stands e-eminently for
the broad principles of American citi-
zenship, which lie at the foundation
of our nation.
