from the "Insurgent" Republi-
can frog pond.


One OF the most interesting
stories that has come from the
mysterious depths of the forest
clad hills of West Virginia, in
many long months is that which
brings to the forefront of public
observation. Miss Anna Mace, a
star route carrier for the govern
ment who has carried the u. s..
mail between Rosedale, BraXton
county, and Eden, Calhoun coun-
ty, for some time.
Miss Mace has been arrested
at the instance Of P0stofice In
spector Conner, charged with
opening, OBTAINING and abstract
ing mail from u. S. mail sack
in her custody.
Packages had been missed on
this route and q watch was kept
with the result that she was seen
dismounted from her horse with
the mail sack open and packages
on the ground and she trying to
open and ascertain the contents
o. them. She was carried to
Sutton before U. S. Commission
er Harden, who he'd her in 5000
bail for her appearance before
the u. S. grand jury at Webster
Springs September 4. -Parkers-

Spoiled Her DaY.

In the days when executions were
still carried out in public a servant
girl upon one occasion begged her
mistress to allow her a day out for
q purpose which she did not diyulge.
The lady of the house gave the re-
CURED permission, and the girl ac-
cordingly went off for the day, but
returned in the evening weeping
copiously.
"Why, Mary" asked her kindly
mistress, greatly perturbed at the
poor girls evident distress, what
on earth is your trouble? Tell me,
and perhaps 1 can help you"
ooh, ma'am," blubbered Mary, 81

The Wily Quaker.

a Quaker had his house broken
into by burglar and several val
uables stolen. He did not inform
the police, however, but kept the
affair to himself.
The following evening a neigh
Dor remarked to him: Il am sorry
to hear of your house being rob
bed, Mr.. Fry. l hope your loss is
not heayy?"
Friend" said the Quaker, Chou
must know the extent of my loss as
well as can do since thou art the
burglar. l spoke rot to a soul of
what had happened, and thou art
the first to mention it to me; hence
l know thou art the burglar and
will trouble thee for my property"
He got it.

yet West Virginia is often char
acterized as little mountain

Taf'S Record "Indefensible. :"

Nearly three fourths of Mr..
Tafts term of Office has passed into
history. He has had sufficient time
to have made progress on lines
along which he promised to pro-
ceed when he was n candidate for
the high Office he holds. He made
his campaign on a tariff revisi on
downward issue, and today the
country is IN the grip of higher
tariff tax than ever before in it's
history, in spite OF the fact that the
president has had two separate and
distinct opportunities to keep his
word. In his three years of Office
President Taft can be credited with
having kept Baliinger in Office un-

have almost succeeded in his at.
tempt TO give Alaska away to the
Guggenheims, and with having
quietly co-operated with the food
dopers in their campaign to drive

Playing Blind.

This is a funny little stunt en-
joyed alike by old and young. If
one has never tried it it is very
amusing to find anything with your
eyes shut or to judge distances.
First place piece of paper on
the floor before you, shut your eyes,
walk backward two steps, then try
to walk OH the paper and pick it up.
Then stick pin the wall about four
feet up and try to pick it of blind
folded Stand about five or six feet
away from a table, shut your eyes,
then try to walk up to it without
knocking against it. - Woman's

The Wilson Candidacy.

Present indications are that Gov,
Wilson could carry the United
States by II safe majority in the
electoral college without the aid Of
New York or Connecticut. Ha Is
exceedingly popular in the cid Re
publican States Of the upper Mis-
si,sippi Valley aud in the Rocky
'dountHin and Pacific Coast region
Que of the commonest remarks in
that section Of the country invaribly
begins, "If the Democrats nominate
Woodrow Wilson 49,. :" Men
ton the name Of the Governor Of
New Jersey to an insurgent Bcpub
lican ana he beams with ready re-
Spouse 20 the suggestion. As one
studies the map, Gov Wilson could
probably carry every State west Of
the Missippi river were the election
to be held imme .Iiately; and east Of
it. he would sweep in enough cleo
toral votes north of the Ohio river
to make soluo Of the strength Of the
old solid South superhuou5.
The only difficult question con-
corning Gov. Wilson. as things lool,
now, is whether he did not arrive +"
too soon. l. he one of those cardi-
dates who sweep the country the
year before? He is enormously at
tractive. from many points OF view
No one so captivating has appeared
among the leaders of the Democrat
ic party III years. The MASSES for
get 'the scholar in politics" in the
man who has sounGly thrashed IL
bunch of reptile politicians at their
own game Those who distrust
Here theorists and poll ical high
brows relish the sight of an ex ac-
ademician who prodded New
j ersey Legislature, of all lawmall-
ing bodies in the world, INFO ma
tlonal fame for its extraordinary
exploit in reform.
The present line of attack on the
Governor is that, in the words of
the New York World, ole has over
Bryanizd himseli'by his endorsemnt
of the Oregon system Of popular
goverppent and his Harrisburg
criticism of the money monopoly
Tue future opposition to his NOM
nation promises to be worked up,
especially in conservative quarters in
the East, i the expectation of at
least arraying against hun some
what more than one third of the
membership Of the mocratic ma
tional convention two-thirds, it
will be remembered, being nccos-
sary for nomination. If strong
conservative protest against Gov.
Wilson's candidacy is &c b. dsvel-
oped, his own fortunes would be IN
proved by the early appearance of
the combinatirn against him in the
open, for there is an immense raAi
cal force in the Democratic rarity,
and it needs only to be shown clear
ly that the Govornor>of New Jersey
has been marked by the "leaction-
aries" for slaughter to rush passion
ately IA his support.
There Is an excellent chance for
Gov. Wills MS nomination. as mat
ters stand and after weighing all
doubts, in our judgement it wonld
be the most 'ormidIble nomi nation
