'The hobble skirt may have or1g1narec with these women of the tropics, but they probably care little for the credit, s their hobble is more of necessity than fash ion decree They wear bolt anywhere between the shoulders and the hips, and the tight hobble cord is placed just below the knees. They are often forced to walk through long, wet grass and ford streams. and when occasion demands it the skirts are pulled up and the hobble cord holds them in place. Every native woman wears a hobble, but she calls 1t a graztto.

STORY ABOUT RAISING A BOY.

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, a boy was born and they nam ed him Willie. It not being cultured or fashionable and it being detrimen- tai to the wearing of cOrsets and par ticipation in social functions. this boys mother did not nurse him, but he was put on the bottle. Forum ately, a learned scientist had dfscov- cred how to pasteurize milk, so that the boy did pretty well on most any old cows milk.
 N When this boy was two years old, he caught the whooping cough. For ,tunately, Professor Bordet of Brus- sels had discovered than anti-toxin se- rum from a cat would cure whoop- ing cough and some cat serum was injected into Willie. hM was taken with the measles. Forum ately, pr. John P. Anderson of Wash dngton had discovered that anti-toxin serum from a monkey would cure the measles. So they pumped the mon- key serum into the boy, and the mea- sles didn't kiM him.
 One day, Willie was playing with his pet terrier, when the dog scratch ed him. So his folks, fearing hydro- phobia in it's worst form. rushed him down to New Jersey, where there is a great institute in honor Of Prof. Pasteur, who, fortunately, discover ed that anti-toxin serum from a dog was a fine thing for rabies. They pumped dog serum into little Willie for two months.
 Willie pulled through nicely, but on the way home rode in a Pullman sleeper in which a smallpox case had been discovered. Fortunately, Dr. Jen- ner had discovered that anIh-toxin se- rum from a COW would cure small pox, and so, on getting home, they pricked some COW serum into Wfllie's arm.
 We'll, Willie lived along until he was ten years old, when, one night, his folks were sent into a panic by dis covering that he had black diphthe- ria Fortunately, a noted physician had discovered that .anki-toxfn se- rum from a horse would cure diph- theria, if anything would, and so they gave Willie some horse serum, hypo- dermically.
 Finally, at 40 years of age, Willie was taken with a mysterious mal- adv. None of the doctors could tell definitely what it was At last, as Willie was very low, a very learned scientist from a great eastern insti- tute visited and pronounced it ''gen- eral debility But, cheer up, my man., said the scientist, 'I have here an anti-toxin from"
 s.No more menagerie in mine." sigh ed Willie. life has been one blamed serum after another" WhereupOn, he turned over and died, much to the regret of the scientist, who felt sure that he was about to enrich medical science with another great discovery, since he was about to try serum from a hen and from an alligator on gen eral debility
 We don't know that there's any moral to this story. There's a whole lot of truth to it, anyhow.-New Ha- ven Times Leader.

Poll of Governors On 1912 Outlook
 For Presidency Democrats Select Either Wilson or Harmon, With Republi- cans Equally Divided
 Between Taft and
 LaFoIlette

Spring Lake N. J., Sept. 14-When not discussing. questions of legislation in their formal conference here, the Governors, who are in convention, get together in little groups often and talk politics-not their own personal years Presidential campaign. It is rarely that they have such an oppor- tunity to sound each other out on sen timent all over the Union, and evil dently they appreciate it.
 On the Democratic side it seems to be pretty we'll agreed that up to date the race for the nomination is between Gov. Wilson of New Jersey and Gov. Harmon of Ohio, who are frequently together and were seated side by side in some of the many photographs for which the Governors have posed.
 As between the two there seems to be no clear-cut line of sentiment, and most of the other Democratic Cover nors will be equally we'll satisfied if tvs standard bearer.
 It is on the Republican side that real differences of opinion exists, for it is there that the party has already di- vided into Regulars and Insurgents; and the contest is on between Taft and La Toilette. v
 There are thirteen Republican Gov
 
 ly divided between the two candidates. Gov. Hadley of Missouri expects to have the delegates from that State for himself, and he says Missouri will also have favorite son in the Dem ocratic convention in the person of Champ Clark.
 Gov. Bass Of New Hampshire is not ready to declare himself for either Taft or LaF'ollette. Of the remaining eleven these are for Taft Tener of Pennsylvania, Glasscock of West Vir- ginia, Willson of Kentucky, Hay of Washington, and Pothier of Rhode Isl- and
 of Wisconsin, Carey of Wyoming, Ves- sey of South Dakota. Stubbs of Kan sas and Aldrich of Nebraska
 Gov. Hay of Washington said that although his State is among those known as- progressive, and the people believe warmly in policies advocated by 'LaFollette, he believed Taft would get the delegates This. he said, was due to the popularity of reciprocity and enthusiasm fori the peace treaties.
 Gov. Stubbs of Kansas, on the other hand, said reciprocity would do much to prevent Taft from getting the dele gates from his State #
 Kansas is more progressive than ever,'' he said, "and we have only just started. Our delegates will be for LaFOllette"
 Gov. Stubbs said the great demand in. Kansas was for the recall of the Federal District Judges.
 T do not criticise the Supreme Court" he said, but the conditions in the Federal courts in parts of the Middle West are intolerable.''
 Gov. Pothier of Rhode Island ex- presses the opinion that President Taft is one of the greatest Presidents Am erica has ever had. and that he will be reTfominated and reelected
