Hemmenway Of Indiana, who also fell
by the way side in the late campaign.
Mr.. Hansbrough's health is much i'm

will doubtless soon be filed. 1t is gen
orally understood that T E. DISCARD is
slated for one OF the positions.

The Star. who was the originator of
the Teddy Bear, has brought him back
to life. Just as there Is an unstrained
hankering for Mr.. Roosevelt to come
back again sometime there was a.
yearning to see the face of the Teddy
Bear. There was something lacking in
the cartoons, some niche not filled.
some want not satisfied, and among
the things published looking in that
direction was the following from The

evening. Mr.. Taft was doubtless as
pleased as the picture indicates when
he found the little fellow on his desk
announcing his determination to stay.
Among the verses was also the fol-
lowing, in The Star. of course:
