Bars Roosevelt Cartoon.

Washington, D. c., May 13.-Sen-
ator Stone of Missouri today endeav-
ored to have cartoon of former Pres
ident Roosevelt with the inscription
There is just one candidate whom il
is possible to nominate against the
bosses, and that is myself" printed
in the Congressional Record.
Senator Smoot, chairman of the
Committee on Printing, however, was
afraid he could not make an exception
to the invariable rule of the Senate.
But Stone urged that the cartoon
might be revised so as to be "a little
more personal" by having the Colonel
hold Perkins and Mccormack in his
hands with his feet ''on the rising
form of Munsey."
Senator Smoot still objected, on the
ground that Mr.. Stones description
had been sufficiently pictorial. TT is
not because love Roosevelt more or
Taft less" said Smoot; 1T is merely
question Of the rules Of the Senate. |"

Rotation of Forage Crops.

Some profitable rotations recon-
mended by the Missouri Experiment
Station are given below. 1t is under
stood that all these crops are to be
pastured off the land and none of
them harvested in the usual way:
Two Year Rotation.
1912. 1918.
l. Corn Soybeans
2. Corn and Cowpeas Rape
3. Rape and Glover Clover
A Good Three Year Rotation.
1912. 1918.
Corn and Cowpeas Rape and Clover
1914.
Clover or Soybeans.
The advantages resulting from pro-
ducing pork on forage crops are:
1. More pork per acre can be pro-
duced.
2. The cost of production is ma
terially decreased.
8. Larger farm operations can be
conducted with less labor.
4. This method will certainly in
crease the productiveness of average
farm land.
S. Pork may be produced with
less concentrated and expensive
grain.

Dark Horse is Sought.

Washington, D. c., May 13.-Sys-
tematic efforts will be made within a
few days to give direction to the
strong sentiment which exists among
Republicans in Congress in favor of
the nomination of some candidate
other than President Taft or Colonel
Roosevelt.
The name of Justice Hughes is
most mentioned, although some of
the "Progressives" oppose him be-
cause he vetoed 2-cent-fare legislation
while Governor of New York. Sena-
tor Cummins of Iowa is considered to
occupy similar position in event of
compromise, although his failure to
carry his own state is against him.
Senator LaFollette is still too radical
for the regulars, but some of them
would support him sooner than Mr.
Roosevelt.
With large number of Republicans
it is now anything to beat Roose-
velt' rather than anything to nomi-
nate Taft.
1t is recognized that Taft's fate as
candidate for the nomination is in the
Ohio scales.
Most of the progressives in Con-
gress prefer Mr.. Roosevelt to Presi-
dent Taft, but are not enthusiastic for
the Rough Rider. They frankly
question the simon purity of his pro-
gressivism.
They fear that once in the White
House, he will become the comprom-
User that he was before and that the
progressives who try to hold up his
hands will find themselves deserted
at critical moments.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Mother q
Months, to Demand $15,O

New York, May 12.--Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, disheartened by the obstacles
that debar her divorce from Harry K.
Thaw, is directing an effort to collect
SIS, 600, the face of three checks given
to her by her husband and his mother
Immediately after Thaw's sentence to
Matteawan. Payment on these checks
was stopped.
With the beautiful baby boy, whose
constant and devoted companion she
has been ever since his birth in Europe
twenty-one months ago, and with
SIS, 900 capital she hopes to cut loose
forever from Thaw, abandoning the
S., 900 a year she long has received
from him. Her ambition is to seek
upon the stage or in other self-sup-
porting occupation the life and free
dom for personal effect denied her by
the terms of the contracts under which
she has received money from the
Thaws.
She will not be a witness in the
habeas corpus proceedings before
Justice Keogh in White Plains next
month if she carries out the purpose
she has announced to friends. She
intends to leave this jurisdiction, she
has said, so that she may not be sum-
moned to appear at that hearing.
She often has stated that she never
wants to see Thaw again, and she is
now especially anxious to avoid the
public scrutiny attracted to her life
and residence by each successive Thaw
hearing.

Madaaascar Idols.

Madagascar natives have a strange
idol. 1t is a piece of wood covered
with silk and attached to a wire
which the priests pull in a certain
way. The god performs movements
in all directions, to the great terror
of the faithful, who believe it is
really alive. The priests dwell in
houses of wood, as the god will have
neither stone nor brick. To dis
tinguish themselves from the other
natives the faithful wear their hair
rolled in curl papers like women
and keep it in the shape of a horn
by means of pins.
