DOG TRAVELS 1900 MILES
HOME ONLY TO DIE

Mount Carmel, H., Dec. 26.-A
Scotch collie dog belonging to Henry
Carlson, a dairyman, living on the
Georgetown road, felt the lure of
home and travelled 1000 miles on
foot from Texas, where he was taken
some time ago by relatives. The dog
died forty-eight hours after his re-
turn.
Along in the early fall relatives
from Texas, visiting at the Carlston
home, took a fancy to the collie, and
on their return took it with them
Shortly after their arrival the dog
seemed to become i'll, refused to eat
or drink. At alst he disappeared.
Several days ago the collie, almost
starved, arrived at his old home and
lay down exhausted.
He was given food and good treat
ment and wandered about the place
for two days, then died

When Thomas A. Edison recently de-
plored the lack of $4,000 men he was
thinking, of course, of $4,000 men who
are out of a job. He was not referring
to the number of men who are actually
earning $4,000 year. That class is
comparatively large. But he realized
as many other men have realized be-
fore him, that the number of men who
are worth $4,000 a year, and who are
out of work, are few and far between.
The number who think they are worth
$4,000 and are only receiving 81 1000
is too numerous to count.

With its biting sarcasm the New
York World says; The trouble with
the Tariff Board is that it does not
understand the theory of protection
from the point of view of the National
Wool-Growers' Association. The prop
er way is TO select the pound of wool
that costs the most money to raise
and then fix the tariff so as to give the
snan who grows that pound a big profit.
Then everybody will be happy except
the millions OF consumers who are
forced TO wear Atwood" clothes

Bishop Williamson, of Michigan,
says the way to stop war is for the
masses of men refuse to be lead to
battle and slaughter when arbitration
can settle the questions at issue. That
bishop is right. The poor men of the
world are fools, as a general PROPOSE
ton, to let themselves be lead into
warfare for trade or territory or the
personal aggrandizement of the few.

NEW BRAID IS NOW NEEDED
Last Years Suits May Be Renovated
by the Substitution of New and
Becoming Trimming.

Few, If any, of the suits of last year
that were ornamented with wide and
expensive braids came through that
time unscathed. Most of them, in
fact, were disfgured and made to look
shabby almost beyond the hope of
repair by the pulled-out loops or fuz-
illness from which even the most ex-
pensive Of these braids suffered when
subjected to daily wear The only way
to renoVate such suit is to take it
to a tailor and let him remove the
braid and replace 1t by rows of SOU
tache If the suit is we'll pressed the
new braiding may go up and down, in
stead of around, and totally new ef-
feet may be gained thereby.
One of the latest ways of braiding
the short little coats is to have from
four to six rows of soutache start at
each side of the back panel, either
from loops and buttons or from simu-
lated buttons made by curling braid
round and round to the desired size,
and go from there in a curving line
around the sides and well up on the
sides of the fronts, to finish there as
they started The row nearest the
arm should be the highest at the fin
ishing in front, and the others should
gradually shorten to give a downward
slant to the row of buttons. This slant
is not unbecoming to a slight figure,
and to a plump one is far more be-
coming than straight-across line or
a backward slant. Rows of the SOU
tache should trim the sleeves above
the cuffs A smart touch may be CIV
en- by making the cuffs and collar Of
velvet to match the Sllit

A Philadelphia iconoclast disputes
the claim that the remains brought to
this country from Paris were those of
John Paul Jones. The measurements
show otherwise, he declares. What's
the use in picking up fuss about it.
John Paul Jones is probably just as
well satisfied, wherever he may be, and
hero worshippers will feel just the

They don't deny that New York
state was carried in 1904 by the use Of
money. They are simply trying to
make it appear that it was carried for
the gubernatorial candidate, Higgins.
by the buying of votes and not for
Roosevelt for president. The import
ant thing really is the admission that
the money was raised and used for the
purchase of votes by the Republican
leaders.

TAFT AND OLD LEADERS WILL
DOMINATE.

Thetrend of all newspaper cores
pondents from Washington seem to be
to the effect that the stand pat" ele-
ment of the Republican party has the
"Progressives" on the hip and THAI,
despite the appeals to the party on the
part of La Toilette and others of that
faction, the old timers will effectually
control the convention, nominate Taft,
and go to the country on Republican
platform but little different from the
old time declarations. The job the
Democratic party will have on its
hands next year is that of defeating
practically the same forces that it has
been called upon to battle with in the
past.
In an interesting letter from the
national capital to the New York
World conditions are tersely summar-
lied as follows:
Signs of political activity at the
White House since the meeting of the
Republican National Committee are in
terpreted by Republican leaders in
Congress in various ways. Some of
them are translated to mean:
That President Taft has made
up his mind to fight,
That the first name on the list of
his antagonists is that Of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt of Sycamore
Hill, Oyster Bay, Nassau County,
NY
That all the pressure of the
Federal service will be eXerted to
compel the denomination of Mr..
Taft and that Col Roosevelt and
his allies will be resisted at every
turn.
That the President will invite
the cooperation of members of
the National Committee and State
bosses who for various reasons
have been piqued at him.
That he will not oppose the
plans of the Senate leaders of his
party to insure the perpetuation
of their control of that body.
None of these predictions is "inspir-
ed" yet all of them are accepted as
accurate by the machine bosses who
last week furnished convincing evil
dence of their absolute control of the
machinery of the Republican party and
the power to nominate the next candi-
date for President. There is no mis-
taking the satisfaction with the situa-
ton of men like Murray Crane of Mas
sachusetts. Boies Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania William Ward of New York.
and Brooker of Connecticut,
Murphy of New Jersey. Scott of West
Virginia, Nelson OF Minnesota, Kenyon
of Iowa, KEELING of Indiana and other
experts who have hitherto been de-
scribed by Col. Roosevelt as reaction
aries" "stand-patters" and the Old
Guard"
Also there is every surface indica-
ton to justify their optimistic view of
the future. If conditions continue these
men with allies in every other state
not mentioned have very good reasons,
they believe, to anticipate glorious
open season for political trading such
as the bosses of the G. o. P. have not
enjoyed in great many years.
