For my simple self, l believe that
this sort Of political prophecy is Of the
pipe dream variety; that William j.
Gaynor, II he Is a candidate at all, win
run on an independent and not on the
Tammany ticket and that be is not
the sort OF man who would work IN
collision with politicians Of the Muir
ply and Mcclellan stripe. Neverthe,
less the mere fact that he Is talked Of
puts a different face on the political
situation. There Is no gainsaying the
fact that Gaynor would be strong
candidate wherever he might run. AS
a Tammany nominee, however, bis
personal strength would be much
weakened, since the bulk Of his friends
are sworn enemies Of the Murphy ma
chine and for the further reason that
Gaynor's acceptance OF such 4 nomi.
nation would imply deal and would
disgust honest men. / believe it Is
doing him wrong even TO consider
such possibility. AS the matter
now stands. however, no certain fore
cast can be made as to candidates be-
fore the early fall There IS persistent
talk that the Republicans win insist on
running a man of their own, and this
still further complexities the situation.

Till she got Fes-Naptha. with the wrapper

Now her washng's easy, clothes are cleaner, too,
Isn't it good thing, she found out what to do?
Here's an arithmetic problem that's
worth figuring out.
How many hours do you spend each
week in washing clothes1
Multiply the number by 81.
Then divide the total into two parts
and one of those parts is how much time
you would save in year by using
Fels-Naptha Soap.
You would likely save more.
Most women who use Fels-Naptha
Soap do their washing in less than half the
time it would take in the old way.
And with one-fourth the work.
And without any extra expense for fuel
because Fels-Naptha Soap cleanses clothes
in cool or lukewarm water.
No boiling; no scalding; no steaming
suds. Summer or Winter.
Don't spend more of your life than's
necessary in washing clothes
Do them the quicker, better way-the
Fels-Naptha way.
Just follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.

While some professional buns infest
the bread line, there is no question in
the mind Of any one who has ever
studied the matter that many Of those
who tramp in the daily procession for
a loaf are men who are able to work

There is a pretty kettle Of fish over

doctors cannot agree. When Captain
Early went to washington be was
pronounced leper and detained as
such. Now when he succeeds In re-
turning to New York he IS a leper no
longer and in consequence threatens
to bring suit against the Washington
doctors. Early is somewhat like John

be persists in calling himself. IN New

bought fue estate, be Is as sane as
you or I. Thus, though our govern.
ment cannot punish by exile, the
courts ID effect have done so III his
case. Yet there Is a shadow Of reason
for this legal anomaly. One might be
mentally right In the peace and quiet
OF Virginia and yet be utterly bug
house in the swirl OF New York.
There IS something here that brings
out latent insanity as q hot bath
brings out the measles.

The popular idea that the American
Indians are decreasing in number is
dissipated by official figures showing
that to-day there are more than 300,-
900 red men in the United States.
The increase in population of about
10000 during the last two decades is
attributed to the governments con-
slant effort to uplift the Indian to the
level of contemporary civilization.
To encourage the industry of the
Indian the government has found
feasible the plan to cut down the num-
Der of approved leases on Indian al
lotments, and thousands of Indians
have become competent to conduct
their own affairs free from govern
mental control. During the present
year the leases approved numbered
about 1000 less than during 1908.
During 1908 about 1000 Indians were
given the privilege of handling their
own allotments, although the legal
title was retained by the government.

An interesting electric clock, run
by a single dry cell and quite indie
pendent of external connection, has
just been put on the market in Eng

in motion by an electric magnet,
mounted Numerically across it. As
the balance wheel swings against
the action of the coiled spring, stud
on the axle makes contact with a
light spring, this completing the cleo.
trio circuit and energizing the mag
net, which acts for moment upon
the balance wheel. This impulse is
given once every four seconds. 1t is
said, that dry cell will run the clock
for 1000 consecutive hours. The
movement Is noiseless, and the clock
may be placed in any position without
interfering with its running.-Youth' g

MANY A PRECEDEN
RECORD OF PLAGIARiSMS 10
EXTENSIVE.
kitchener's Recent Use Of Lord Cur
IONS Speech Recalls Few His
toric Instances Of Oratory
That Was Not Original.

They are telling a tale on Lord
Kitchener of how his speech, when
he babe farewell to India, was prac-
tically repetition of the address of
Lord Curzon on a similar occasion,
two or three years ago, and what
would add to the embarrassment of
the circumstance is the notorious fact
of the bad understanding between the
two when they divided authority as
rulers of the most populous and pos
sibly the most extensive of all the
British possessions.
Something like it occurred in our
country the first half of the last cen
fury. John White, member from
Kentucky, was the speaker of the
Twenty-seventh congress. He was
from the mountain section of the
state, proud and sensitive, and got to
be speaker because he was the fol-
lower and protege of Henry Clay.
1t was very stormy congress,
owing to the Quarrels between the
president and the two houses, and the
speaker was very busy man the clos
ing hours of the last session. When
he returned thanks for the accus-
toned resolutions commendatory of
his official conduct, 1t was a beautiful
speech he made, but it subsequently
developed that it was verbatim the ad-
dress Aaron Burr had delivered in the
senate in 1905 upon retiring from the
vice-presidency, and the most stately,
as well as the most beautiful address
an American presiding officer ever de-
livered himself of.
White explained that a friend pre-
pared" his address, and that he was
totally ignorant Of its origin. Never
theless, he took his own life not long
afterward. 1t is pretty safe to con-
der, is Of more callous fiber.
When it was found out that John ].

Burns of Missouri was taken from the
