TAFT Did u

Washington, D. c., Jnne "a
President Taft yesterday: ordered the
House Republicans into finish fight
on the troublesome little issue raised
by the labor amendment to the sun
dry civil bill, and worked with
might and main himself until he saw
them win.
As the result of stiffening influence
literally applied at the White House,
the representatives, by vote of 139
to $50, receded from their action in
declaring the labor unions immune
from the operation of the fund au-
thorized to prosecute infractions of
the Sherman anti trust law, and join
ed the senate in it's view that punish
ments under this law should extend
to full legal lengths and include, if
necessary, conspiracies in the nature
of boycotts to increase wages, shorten
hours or better conditions of labor.

met Alice Leigh at friends home.
while in college, and that friend
ship had sprung up between them
which ripened into love as they met
from time to time. A story to which
his father would not listen.
Helen was never strong, and as
the summer days came Judge Blake
decided to take her to the country
for a month. Good by, Roddie," the
gil said the morning she went away
IT l see Alice maybe l can show
father what nice girl she u.s."
The morning was bright and clear
and the judge and Helen started out
for their usual drive. These drives
were bringing roses to Helen's
cheeks and helping the judge to feel
younger. There had been no chance
to help poor Rodney's cause thus
far. and this morning. as they rode
along. Helen was trying to find some
wa to speak to her father about it,
when suddenly from around sharp
bend an auto came upon them and
their usual quiet horse, taking
fright. sprang into the ditch and ran.
All would have been well, even then,
for the judge was an experienced
horseman, but as he gave the reins a
sharp pull one broke, leaving the
Judge pOwerless. His mind worked
quickly, and, taking Helen in his
arms, he sprang AS he struck the
ground in the ferns and weeds by
the roadside, feminine scream rent
the air, and young lady of perhaps
20 years sprang forward and clasped
Helen from the judges arms. And
Helen was safe and none the worse
for the encounter.
When he came to himself once
more he was lying in a darkened
room. which smelled of the roses
poisoning meath the window, and
the same young lady was sitting by
his side. ss
After little he realized what had
happened and ls piled hi nurse and
Helen with questions. He learned he
was laid up with a sprained ankle
and was thrown upon the hospitality
of Mr.. Henry Leigh and his daugh-
ter Alice; but no recollection of Rod
Eey's confession of love did the name
bring to him.
AS the days went by Rodney re-
ceived these two letters:
My Dear Son:-The ankle is do
ing as well as could be expected As
I wrote you we were marvellously
fortunate in being brought to the
home of Mr.. Leigh. His daughter
Alice is enc of the sweetest of girls.
An unusual gift-there is no stamp
Of the country girl about her. may
If all goes we'll, bring her back with
me, a mother for you and Helen.
Helen has already learned to love
her. Your affectionate father,
L. s. Blake.
The other from Helen:
I guess it will be al. right now,
Rodney, dear. Come down and stay,
over Sunday. Helen.
Saturday night found Alice and
Helen at the station, and half an
hour later Rodney was standing be-
|:fore his father, Alice Leigh's hand in
his. Father. allow me to present
your future daughter-in-law. You
remember l spoke to you of our en-
gagement some time ago."
For q moment the Judge was
speechless and. possibly. the least
bit chagrined, and then he gave them
as fond q blessing as even Helen
could wish.-BOstOn Post.

they believed him to be insane as .
result of being addicted to the NOR
phine habit, seven of the Richmond
jurors yesterday favored bringing in
verdict of mot guilty or the ground
of insanity in the embezzlement case

ment in prison; the second acquittal
if the jury believed the defendant to
be innocent, and the third, not guilty
on the ground Of insanity, with view
to sending the defendant to an asy-
lum.

A MAN AGAINST A NATION.
The Most Curious European War That
Was Ever Waged.

The Most Curious European War That
Was Ever Waged.
The most curious European war ever
waged was that which in the sixteenth
century, the period of the reformation
and the renaissance, was carried on
single handed for between five and six
years between a bankrupt grocer Of
Berlin and the elector of Saxony, who
was the most powerful German prince
Of the period. The grOcer's name was
Hans kohlhase. and the immediate
cause of the quarrel was the arresting
Of two Of his horses in the electors
territory he being a subject of the
elector of Brandenburg. Failing to
get redress he adopted what was then
a perfectly legal expedient and de-
clared formal war on the realm Of
Saxony. The declaration was accepted
in due form, and the war began.
The extraordinary part Of the story
is that the grocer kept the war up for
nearly six years practically single
handed and even went to the extrem-
ity of declaring war on his own sover-
eign in the meantime before he was
caught. He burned farms and even
villages, employed mercenaries after
the fashion Of the times and made
himself the terror of the district. He
was finally Influenced to stop hostili-
ties by Luther, and after he had taken
the sacrament from his hands he was
betrayed into further act of hostility
by treachery and being captured, suf-
fered death on the wheel after refus-
ing an act of grace which granted him
the painless and honorable death Of
the sword The story is perhaps the
strangest of all the romances Of that
romantic Westminster Gazette.

Mr.. Taft Looks Forward to Re-
publican Victory in 1912.
PARTY FACES HARD CAMPAIGN
Col. Roosevelt Is Expected to Sup
port Mr.. Taft in Party Conven-
ton That Will Nominate Can
didate for President.

Washington, Dec. 28-Friends of the
administration have made it known in
an emphatic manner that President
Taft intends to stand for denomination
in 1912. They expect Mr.. Taft will
have the support of Col Roosevelt
The president is now in an optimistic
frame of mind and looks forward to a
Republican victory in 1912.
A few weeks ago the situation did
not look promising to the president
Even at that time the president is
known to have told friends that he
would accept the nomination, even in
the face Of certain defeat, if the party
placed the standard in his hands.
1t is of course out of the question
for Mr.. Taft to announce his candi-
dacy, but it may be stated on good au-
thOrity that whatever the political de-
velOpments of the next few years may
be, Mr.. Taft's name will be placed in
nomination at the 1912 convention.
The president believes that victory
is probable at the next election, but
he knows that a long and hard cam.
paign faces the party. He has con-
suited many leaders and has himself
taken the first steps toward a recon
Citation between the regulars and in
surgents.
According to leaders here the fight
in the convention of 1912 is likely to
arise between the extreme insurgent
wing and a more conservative, but
still progressive faction, which shall
stand for President Taft 1t is with
this latter wing that Col. Roosevelt is
expected to ally himself as against
the extremist, of which Senator Cum
Wisconsin, may be the leader.
1t is pointed out here that the pres
ident has made Overtures to the insur-
gents since the congress session be-
gan. When he went to Panama, Mr.
Taft, according to friends, was quite
respondent as to the chance of Repub-
lican success two years hence On
that trip his brother, G.. P Taft,
brought him into a more optimistic
frame of mind.
At any rate it is certain that on his
return to the United States the presi-
dent held out the olive branch to the
insurgents. Senators Cummins, Borah,
and Bristow and Representatives Nor
ris, Murdoch and others, classed as in
surgents, went to the White House as
Of old. They were consulted, not
merely regarding pending judicial ap-
pointments, but about legislative mat
ters also.
