A detective boarded train, and
just before the train started a SOL
emn looking man got in. The de-
tective was in pursuit of crimi-
nal who had travelled by previous
train, and he took out a photo
graph of the fugitive and studied it
intently. This attracted the atten-
tion of the solemn man, who pres
emily observed:
"You have perchance lost dear
friend?"
"Dear? Yes; very dear, indeed" !"
answered the detective.
"Take comfort; he has but gone
BEFORE" continued the solemn man,
who was not little shocked when
he got for reply:

hours start of me, but I'll follow
him, even if it takes me to Hong

LITERARY DANDIES.
Lytton and Dickens Were Not Alone
In Their Pride of Dress.

IN noiT Friuo OF DToSas
Stevenson's get-up is thus de-
scribed by fellow member of the
Sayile club: "He wore black fan
mel shirt, with a curious knitted tie
twisted in a knot; he had Yelling
ton boots, rather tight dark trou-
sers, pea jacket and white SOM
brero hat. But the most astonish-
ing item of all in his costume was
a lady's sealskin cape, which he
wore about his shoulders, fastened
at the neck by a fancy brooch,
which also held together bunch of
half dozen daffodils."
Lord Lytton and Dickens prided
themselves on being literary dan
dies, but in the matter of clothes
their light paled before that of Dis
raeli in the days when the novelist
was paramount to the politician.
A black velvet coat lined with
satin, purple trousers with a gold
band running down the seam, a
scarlet waistcoat with elegant lace
rufles of such length as to cover
his hands and white gloves, the out
side of which were decorated with
a number of valuable rings, were,
with the addition of profusion of
gold chains that meandered about
his person, his not infrequent at
tire.
The dress of Gerard de Nerval,
the French poet, was, on one occa-
sion at least, in keeping with the
lobster which he was wont to lead
abroad on a gayly colored ribbon.
Trousers, coat and waistcoat were
of green satin, each, however, of
different hue, to represent the va
ried colors of the sea under diverse
conditions. His hat was adorned
with long strands of seaweed, while
around his neck he wore a string of
coral beads.
The buttons of his coat and
waistcoat were comprised of shells,
while on his breast were pinned sew
eral pebble brooches. To complete

Gautier was at times very gor-

occasion adorning his sturdy per-

wore green trousers. Monk Lew

with a favorite diamond ring spar

dress; Thomas Moore, the poet,
penned his poems with kid gloved
hands, and Button, the eminent
French naturalist, dressed himself
as a dandy previous to sitting down
to his desk.-London Tit Bits.

"TAFT DEGRADED
THE REPUBLIC"
SAYS THE WORLD
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, April 13.--Declar-
ing that Taft degraded not only
the chief of the magistracy, but the
American republic" by replying
to a cablegram from Signor Caretti,
mayor Of Porto Maurizio, who well
coined Roosevelt and then teie-
eraphed Taft and told him about it,
the New York World, which has
consistently supported the Taft ad-
ministration. bitterly assaiis Taft
in it's leading editorial today for
his action.
In reply to Caretti's cablegram
Taft wired the following reply,
Monday, April IL:
Received your courteous tele-
gram announcing that Roosevelt
has arrived and was received en-
Enthusiastically by the whole popu-
lation and that the city was proud
to welcome him. In reply | beg
to assure you and all your country
men that the American people are
very grateful for and greatly APP
preciate the reception the Italians,
from the sovereign to the hum
blest subject, accorded our most
distinguished citizen"
In commenting on the Taft mes
sage, the Worlds editorial says:
"When Taft was nominated as
the republican candidate for presi-
dent the World asked the plain
question, whether, if he was elect
ed, he was to be president or mere
ly a proxy. Since then various
opinions have been expressed on
many phases of Taft's official ca
reer. But concerning the message,
there can be, probably, but one
conclusion.
1T was an amazing. humiliating
expression. 1t degraded not only
the chief magistracy, but the
American republic. 1t was weak,
but sycophantish, false.

CLAIM BODY
WAS FILLED
WITH POISON
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 49,
That the body of Colonel Thomas
n. Swope, the Kansas City million
aire, was removed from its casket
and filled with poison will be the
principal defense of Or. 3. c. Hyde,
charged with the murder of Colonel
Swope. Attorneys for Or. Hyde
said today that they had discovered
evidence tending to destroy three
Of the states strongest links in the
chain of circumstances that result
ed in the charge against the
physician.
The body of Colonel Swope lay
in vault at Forest Hill cemetery
for several months during the
winter and was not guarded.
The attorneys declared that
they have discovered that the body
OF Colonel Swope was tempered
the vault. They assert that there
is unmistakable evidence that the
body was removed from the casket
for some purpose, presumably to
inject poison into the veins.
The attorneys said that Harry
Cooke, superintendent at the Gene
terry, told them that the key to the
vault was accessible to a number
of men; that number of persons
he did not know were seen about
the body and remained at the vault
for as long as an hour at a time.
The casket, according to the at
tOrneys, had been untastened and
loosely refastened. Air had en-
tered the coffin and the body was
frozen. They said that the re-
fastening of the casket was appar-
emily done by inexperienced hands.
