TIE COLONEL. down Am or,

John B. Brownlow, a man OF much
consequence among the Republicans of
Tennessee. has written. an Interesting
letter to the Chattanooga Times about
The Colonel and the reports which per
sist that he will be a candidate for
President next year. Flo believes that
! when The Colonel returned from his
hunting expedition in Africa II was
his purpose to be candidate for a
third term in the White House. and
that II was for this reason he took
possession OF the Republican organiza-
tion In New York, and dictated its ticket
and platform, but In that contest was
SO overwhelmingly defeated that he
abandoned his intention and concluded
then and there that he would not
force himself upon the people Not
only was the Republican party In New
York under the leadership of MIR.
Roosevelt defeated, but MIR. Browniow
notes that the party was also disas-
trously defeated in New Jersey, In
diana and Ohio and wherever he made
speeches When he started out to
carry New York for stmson aud his
own purposes The Colonel replied TO
the question Of a reporter as to how
he felt: II feel like a Bull Moose, and
we will heat the Democracy to fraz-
zle we will knock them outside the
ropes"
las Mr.. Brownlow notes, however.
when the lighting was over and the
votes had been counted the Colonel
locked himself UP at Oyster Bay for
twelve days and refused any commu-
nscation with the newspaper frater-
nifty which sought from him some ex-
PLANTATION OF how 1t had happened.
Says Mr.. Brownlow Probably since
he was twelve years OF age Mr.. Roose-
Welt had not kent his mouth shut for
twelve minutes at a time-except
when aslcep--until he received the
shock of the last election in New
York and other States."'
Brownlow believes that Taft will be
rcnominated. He does not think tina
The Colonel will be able to control the
minority which still swears byhim for
any other candidate. in case of a close
fight in the Republican nominating
convention. He believes. further that
either Champ Clark or Woodrow Will
son will be the nominee Of the Dem
ocratic party, and that "eithor of them
could defeat Taft unless business con
dtions Improve. and either of them
could easily defeat Roosevelt whether
business conditions improve or not

and we are rather glad of It, because
ne eays so many things that add to
the gayety of the nations. We do not

was crushing the combinations With

The Poultry Yard.

This is the month the turkeys begin

II ere is no hetter time than now to set
geese eggs. Set them under a hen, al

she can conveniently cover.
S ome folks are forever planning ahead
and figuring how to make chickens pay,
and while they are pottering along with
their plans and figures the hens and their
broods are neglected.
No fowl is so hard to doctor as a tur-
key. A secret of success with turkeys
lies in avoiding i~nbreeding. A little
turk debilitated at the start by ;nbreed-
ing has a poor chance for its life.
The baby chick trade has grown won.
derfully. Twenty years ago poultrymen
never dreamed of starting a business
in that line, while now hundreds OF
thousands of these innocents are sent
out annually.
AS the nights are still cold it is advis
able to give the hens but eleven eggs al
the time of setting them. This affords
the hen a better chance to cover ant
warm the eggs properly, bringing forth
better results,
It's all right to have the brood coop'
wind tight but not air-tight. 1t does not
take much of a carpenter to put a pan'
