THE "TlTULAR HEAD"

President Tafrs definition of his
position that he is the "ttular head OF
his party has received an interprc;a-
ton from Senator Deliver which Is
perhaps in strictcr keeping with the
facts. Senator Deliver says that
"utular head of the party" means a
large and well meaning good man
closely surrounded by persons who
know what they want This smashos
i"to the bulls eye. and this is Nj.
TAFT every time.
Perhaps Mir Taft meant to carry out
Rooseyelt's alleged policies, and cham.
pion the cause of the people. but me
soon fell into bad company. and be.
ing weak fat man, he straightway
took tumble from grace. Now Roosc.
velt's policies are, in reality, more Oh
less imaginary quantities used for po
litical effect in catching the ear ana
securing the support of the plain PEG.
ple-likewise to tickle the tympanmn
of calciumloying eXpresident with
bursts of popular applause. But my
policies to the people were real, and
they supported Mr.. Taft in the firm
belief that he was going to carry them
out as they understood them and be
lieyed in them. He may have known
Roosevelt's duplicity, but this does
not alter the situation.
If the people have not their fill of
to this sort of thing. We would like to
know their capacity.

Took the Hint.

A story is told OF n certain English
bishop we'll known for his vcrbosity
who rose to address the house OF lords
OH very important occasion. 81 will
divide my speech under twelve heads, .
he said, to the discomfort OF his audi
ence
The Marquis of Salisbury begged to
be allowed to interpose with little
anecdote. "a friend of niue was re-
turning home late one night" he said.
when opposite st. PauIs he saw an
intoxicated man trying to ascertain the
time on the big clock there. Just then
1t began to strike and slowly tolLcd out
i. The man listened, looked hard mt
the clock and said: 'Confound you!
Why couldn't you have said that all
at onceT"
The bishop heartily joined in the
laughter which followed and took the
hint contained in the story.

WEIGHT Of Atmosnhnre.

Atmosphere is the name applied To
the gaseous envelope that surrounds

zeal union of nitrogen and oxygen in

a relatively small amount OF carbonic
acid gas aud n little water vapor. It's
thickness is about fifty miles. although
1t probably extends I'm an attenuated
form as far as 500 miles. This is in
ferred from the observation Of lumi-
