An interesting incident showing
how a linguistical twist haphazardly
may be tossed on electified air and
carried far, is shown by conditions
that coaxed one of Turner's epigrams
into being. Twas summer time, a
bunch of folks were tommyrotting on
the peristyle of the Inn at East Aur-
ora. The little jungle lady, Miss
Simonton, the African explorer and
ergo physician extraordinary to
Theodore Roosevelt, was asking ques-
tions. This was rather a unique
employment for Miss Simonton in
East Aurora; usually her job was
answering questions. But this day
Miss Simonton was asking questions,
so she said 81 wish somebody would
tell me just what is life?"
Life is just one damned thing af-
ter another" was the prompt reply
of j. F. Turner.
Far down the vista of Main street
rippled the placid waters OF tho
Cazanovia. a blue bottle fly made its
toilet on the tail of a red COW over
in the apple orchard, and Turner
strolled away unmindful of the cachi-
nations emanating from an adjacent
bunch of almost-philosophers. Thir-
ty days later ! saw the epigram peer

No piano can possibly be heard to

account of the policy that he has adopted
in regard to the fur-bearing seal herds
on the Pribilof Island
The Camp Fire Clubs latest attack is
in the form of an open statement to the
people of the United States.
Appended to the statement as exhibits
are a number Of peppery letters that
passed between Secretary Nagel and
Mr.. Hornaday, in which the director Of
the Bronx Zoo charges that Walter L.
Lembkey, who has supervised the kill
ing for the government. has had a per-

Estate on Il. II. hartman Given Out
in Official Figures.
Nv York, July 2S.-Edward H. Har-
riman was worth s71.OOO,OoO when he
died. on September 9, 1909.
Wall street and the general public
have made estimates of the amount
of the Hartman estate that ranged
from s1OO. 100000 to twice as much,
but few. even of his most intimate
friends, believed that his estate would
fall below $50, 900, 900.
Tn estimate given above is that pre-
pared by Charles A. Peabody, president
Of the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
who was one of Harriman's closest
friends and legal advisers.
Mr. Peabody. representing Mrs. Har-
riman, paid into the Office OF Comptroller
Williams on March last. $675,0oO as his
estimate of the amount of inheritance tax
to which the state would be entitled
under the transfer tax law. Under the
law the payment of this tax within six
months of the death of the testator en-
titles the estate to a rebae of per cent.
A little figuring shows that Mr.. Pea
body's estimate of the Hartman estate
was, on March ;, 81, 053.7S7.

who arrived to-day by the Hamburg
American liner Kalserin Auguste Vic
toria, and who intimated when he left
here on June 5 that he had plans for a
national organization for fighting graft
in business and politics, declared that he
might have something to say later as to
the progress Of the movement.
He said he had seen Norman Hapgood,
of Golfers. while he was in Europe and
that Mr. Hapsood had Endorsed his plans
and that there were other men Of infiu-
ence and standing who favored them.
He will be at the Plaza for the next two
weeks. and it was limited that a confer
ence viii be held in his apartments there
and the organization formed.
Influence in Politics.
Mr.. Spreckels said that he believed that
American prosperity would be menaced
so long as holders Of great wealth were
able TO influence political conditions. He
declared that although he was and al
ways had been an optimist he could not
shut his eyes TO what was impending.
'I feel and see. he said what is in
every movement Of the capitalists and
the politicians whom the capitalists con-
troll I expect to see the interests make a
very important move before the fall
elections, in the hope OF influencing
them. This move will cause a national
disturbance that viii affect business very
materially"
Mr.. Spreekels is in favor of the insur-
gents in Congress. and said he believed
that many If not all Of them would be
returned. and that they eventually would

aooked 10 wealth to bring about better
conditions. but not the wealth that had
allied itself with the politicians.
