Boom for Gov. HadIey of Missouri
 Reaches Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. The boom of Governor Herbert s. Had ley of Missouri as running mate for President Taft on the Republican national ticket in 1912 has reached Washington. The suggestion of Governor Hadley as vicepresiden- tial candidate has excited much com ment among politicians.
 It is we'll konwn in Washington that the president will be a candi- date for renomination by the nation al convention of 1912, and it is also known that friends of the admins tration are busying themselves al ready with some of the problems that must be faced before election time rolls around. One of these is to choose a vice-presidential candi- date. Vice-President Sherman, of course, has the first call. The vice president, however, it is understood not to be seeking the nomination.
 In behalf of Governor Hadley, it is urged that his nomination for the vice-presidency would assure Missou- ri's vote for the Republican ticket. The governor is close to Colonel Roosevelt and admired greatly by President Taft.

Mark Twain's Tribute.

In Harper's for January is printed the last thing that Mark Twain wrote-a touching and beautiful trib ute to his daughter Jean, who died just one year ago. It was written on the day of her death. He says:
 Jeans dog has been wandering about the grounds today, comrade less and forlorn. I have seen him from the windows. She got him from Germany. He has tall ears and looks exactly like a wolf. He was educated in Germany, and knows nc language but the German. Jean gave him no orders save in that tongue And so when the burglar alarm made a fierce clamor at midnight, a fortnight ago, the butler, who is French and knows no German, tried in vain to interest the dog in the supposed burglar. Jean wrote me, tc Bermuda, about the incident. It was the last letter I was ever to receive from her bright head and her com petent hand. The dog will not be neglected.
 There was never kinder heart than Jeans. From her childhood ur she always spent the most of her al lowance on charities of one kind or another After she became sec retary and had her income doubled she spent her money upon these things with a free hand. Mine, too I am glad and grateful to say.
 "She was a loyal friend to all animals, and she loved them all birds, beasts and everything snakes-an inheritance from me. She knew all the birds; she was high up to that lore. She became mem Der of various humane societies when she was still a little girl - both here and abroad-and she remained an active member to the last. She founded two or three societies for the protection of animals, here and in Europe.
