EN-. TILLMAN ROW
IS CENTER Of ATTRACTION
AT washington, D. c.
President Roosevelt Tells How the Sena-
tor Was Caught in the Oregon Land
Grab-Placed Orders for Nine Guar
ter Sections of Land for Himself and
Family-Senator' Friends Explain

No subject has been discussed recent
ly at the national capital as much as
President Roosevelt Is disclosure of Sen
ator Tillman s alleged connection with
the Oregon land deal
Many expressions of dissatisfaction
are heard because of the manner in
which the president made public the
material gathered by postofice inspect
ors about Senator Tillman. It is point
ed out by senators that the matter sent
to Senator Hale was not in response to
the latter's request to the heads of the
executive department for a statement
SPA TENS
of the operations of the secret service,
as the investigation of Senator Till
man S efforts to obtain Oregon lands
was wholly under the postOfice depart
ment and was prosecuted by the in
spectors of that department.
'Impropriety and Indiscretion.
There is no question that Senator
Tillman s health is serious. When he
went to Europe last March he was in
highly nervous state. The trip re-
suited in a marked improvement, but
his friends have noticed that his nerv-
BUSINESS was returning. Some Of the
senators who have examined the evil
dence say the 0ffense was one of i'm
propriety and indiscretion, but that no
criminality is involved It was said
that Senator Tillman might have intro
dueed his resolution calling upon the
department Of justice TO begin proceed
ings to compel the sale Of the Oregon
lands at $3.50 an acre in accordance with
the original land grant and at the same
time apply for some Of the land with
ont making himself the target Of eriti-
cism.
How Tillman Explains IT,
To many the feature Of the disclosure
most deplored by Tillman 3 colleagues
is the appearance Of an effort to hide
The fact that he was an applicant for
nine quarter sections under the terms
Of the original grant in his statement
last February the senator said he had
not bought any western land. nor had
be undertaken 20 buy any,"
The evidence submitted by the presi-
dent shows that prior 10 this statement
Senator Tillman had made anDlicafion
for nine quarter sections. Defo~sing
himself against the Appearance Of hay-
ing made a misleading statement sena-
tor Iiilman tells his friends now fhat
be should have said on the floor that
he had not contracted " 10 buy any
land, and that the whole case against
ham had been built upon the interDro-
tafion placed ap0n the word under
taken 4"

pax Dreams.

If you have particular piece Of
work to do get it done. Don't wait
for the mood to strike you.
Don't dream! There are more pre-
cious hours wasted In day dreams
than any Of us would care to think
about If we counted them.
The queer thing about day dreams
Is that so few of them ever amount
to anything. The dreamer Is only
semiconscious when building his air
castles. so, as rule, they have no
practical foundation.
While you are at work, keep your
mind on what you are doing, and do
not let it wander off to what you
would like TO be doing. Only by keep
ing your mind on what you are doing
now can you bring 1t fresh and keen
to the things you like doing best when
the time for doing them comes. Think.
ing too much about even great happi.
ness takes the edge" off 1t.
The best time for day dreams Is
after you have gone to bed.-New
York American.

A millionaire, hoping to encourage
his Young son in ways of thrift. prom
ised to give him per cent a month In
terest upon any money that he might
save out of his allowance and deposit
in the paternal treasury. The youpk
man was getting f5 week For pocket
money and promised to show hts OPP
probation OF his fathers afreetf6nate
offer. He began to make deposits
without delay and kept the practice up
with remarkable regularity.
The old gentleman noticed presently
that the deposits exceeded the whole
of the boys allowance. bat accounted
for this by supposing that he had
saved some money previously. Besides
this. he received money frequently
from his mother, So the fond parent
rejoiced in the saving disposition that
his son was displaying,
This continued until the boys de-
posits assumed such dimensions as to
demand an explanation. 1t then turned
out that most of the money he had
been depositlng had been borrowed
Inasmuch as he was drawing interest
on his deposits at per cent per month
and was paying only 10 per cent per
year for them he had found the bust

once did know a gentleme
But now he's passed along
He always done to him the right
He never done the wrong
He always was light hearted
And full of jokes and pranks
The man that refer to
Was Uncle Jimmie Hanks
He moved into the township
When this country it was new
He helped to cut the forest down
And held the breaking pillow
He RATED on Flat River
And run down boards and planks
And one of the best of pilots
Was Uncle Jimmie Hanks
II early in the spring time
While floating down the river
You got stuck upon boulder
Twould surely make you shiver
But you always cleared the sand bars
The boulders and the banks
II the man upon the toward end
Was Uncle Jimmy Hanks
At logging bees and rasings
You always found him there
You never saw hin sitting round
He always done his share
And il your COW got mired
And stuck fast by the shanks
The man would help you get her out
Was Uncle Jimmy Hanks
Us boys would get together
And have a lot of fun
We'd sing and dance and laugh and joke
And wrestle. jump and run
But when it came to square hold
soon retired with thanks
And always did excuse myself
When they called in Jimmy Hanks
Some boys that were more sandy
And would like to see him downed
Would step up for a square hold
Just to take a social round
And I've nearly died laughing
As skyward went their shanks
When they were laid sprawling
BY Uncle Jimmy Hanks
And when he got along in years
And could do hard work no more
He got some goods together
And run little store
You always found him cheerful
He never had the cranks
When you went to make purchase
At The store Of Jimmy Hanks
And when he got so feeble
That he could work no more
He had lovely daughter
Who run the little store
She would wait upon you promptly
And return your change with thanks
When you traded at the little store
OF Uncle Jimmy Hanks
He had a lot OF children
And all I've never seen

They number to sixteen
But half OF them have passed away
