Chicago, Feb. 20

President Taft the sacrificial goat to
bear the abandoned policies of the
party out in the wilderness of forget
fitness. ecOgnizing the hopelessness
of victory under his leadership, that
element is sending the c. Q. D. signal
to Oyster Bay, but no answering spark
has come to cheer their waiting
hearts.
mr.. Roosevelt is bold but not fool
hardy
He loves a fight much, but he
hates licking more. His eye is on
the weather gauge and his ear to the
as the past has indicated, he will keep
his bark safe within the peaceful wat
ers of Oyster Bay until the storm

LAS long as the people of the United
States believe in a republic, as they
love liberty, as long as they cherish
free government as better than great
riches and the one heritage wise
father would leave to his children, no
man will be elected to a third term as
president of the United States. The
example of washington is as forceful
today as it was when Jefferson. approx
IF Mr.. Roosevelt should be the
nominee of the Republican party that
party would never again nominate
candidate for president

contest. more united on great public
questions than the party has been Tor

OPERATES ON HIMSELF
Surgeon Goes as Far as Making In
cision in His Abdomen.

San Francisco, Feb. 20.-Dr. Bertram
F. Allen, chief surgeon Of the French
hospital here has carried out in part
his theory that self-operations for ap
pendicitis are not impossible On dag
nosins his symptoms DR.. Alden called
in his skeptical professional friends as
witnesses.
In the operating room he injected the
spinal anesthesia which left his mind
clear and gave him the control of his
arms He made the necessary abdom-
inaI cuts, but at this point the matter
seemed too serious for experiment and
two fellow surgeons completed the
operation removing the appendix while
Dr. Alden remained an interested wit
ness of their manipuIations- Dr. Alden
is reported to be recovering rapidly.

MRS. LEEDS WINS
Government Fails to Make Her Pay
Additional Duty on Pearls.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The government
through a decision of the supreme court
today failed to get $4,000 additional duty
on the pearl necklace owned by Mrs. VIII
liam B. Leeds of New York. When the
pearls were imported in 1906 from Paris
by Mrs. Leeds only a ten per cent duty
was paid for about s., 200.
This was under a classification Of the
ornaments as pearls in their natural
state not strung or set
Practically ever since the government
has been seeking to collect a sixty per
cent duty, claiming the pearls were ''set
or strung 1t based this largely on the
statement that Mrs. Leeds wore the pearls
in Paris before they were imported.

Had Gone His Limit.

The boys had made good use OF
the steep hill in their search for win
ter sport, and their sleds and bobs
had worn a track down the hill,
where the snow had turned to ice,
says the New York American.
A gentleman, whom we will call
Mr.. Chesterfield Che was really very
polite,) colided with a fat woman
just at the brow of the hill, lost his
footing, and fell; the woman fell al
so, landing on top of the polite gen.
tleman. And down the hill they
went, Mr.. Chesterfield forming to-
boggan on which the fat lady rode
in safety. Faster, faster they went
down the icy incline, not stopping un-
til the foot of the hill was reached.
Then the fat lady heard very weak
voice saying: Pardon me, madam;
you have to get off now-this is as
far as I CO."

British Locomotive Names.

Scott has been largely drawn upon
in the nomenclature of British ex-
press engines. The original Lord
of the Isles," which ran on the Great
Western during the broad guage era
and had 7S9,300 miles to its credit
before rebuilding was necessary, was
one of the most famous locomotives
ever constructed, and the London and
Lady of the Lake
also holds an honored place in rail-
way history, having the distinction
of being the handsomest locomotive
ever designed.
Classical names have figured large
ly in the annals of British locomo-
tives, notably on the London and
Northwestern, and they are certainly
more appropriate than the title OF
which is, or used to be,
borne by one of the Brighton Com
pany's engines.-London Globe.

Leopard and Umbrella.

The audacity of the leopard in
pursuit of his favorite food is re-
markable. In "Sport on the Nil
girls" Mr. F. w. F. Fletcher gives an
instance in his own experience while
living in India. He adds that he lost
probably twenty dogs atvarious times
all carried away by leopards. Some
were taken under his very nose.
One April afternoon l had been
over to see friend about four miles
away, writes Mr.. Fletcher, and short
~ after I left his bungalow on my
return home, it began to rain. AS
riding was uncomfortable in the wet
I got off my nag, and gave him to the
horsekeeper. After a mile the rain
stopped, and the sun came out; but
| shut my umbrella and determined
to walk the rest of the way home.
Before me trotted five little terriers,
behind me came the syce, leading my
horse. We reached sharp bend in
the road, and the doggies had dis
appeared round it, when I saw the
whole pack rushing back full tilt,
with a leopard. at the heels of the
hindmostdog.
Just as they reached me, the leo
pard seized Flirt, and at the same
moment I LANDED" him blow on
the head with all my force with the
umbrella, which flew into splinters.
The leopard dropped the dog, but his
impetus was so great that he could
not stop, and rushing past me, he
knocked my syce clean off his legs.
Then he jumped into the grass bor-
dering the road.
The change that came over our
peaceful procession in that one in
stant was astonishing. There stood

A Kansas Cyclone Story.

81 have seen some hard winds out
in western Kansas" Abe Peters says
to Tom McNeal. s'There are some
things that on old resident learns out
there from observation and ex-
perience. One is that when you
are facing a hard wind keep your
mouth shut. One day I was travell-
ing with a tenderfoot from the east.
He was a long, slender man about
six feet and three inches thick and
about six inches wide. He had no
more meat on his bones than fork
handle and was about the most ema-
ciated looking person ever saw. AS
I was saying, one day we started to
ride across the prairie when the
wind came up in our faces, blowing
at the rate of a hundred miles an
hour or so. That tenderfoot opened
his mouth to say something to me.
I heard him make curious noise
and looked around to see what was
the matter and saw that he had in
advertently swallowed about six or
seven barrels of wind. He looked
like an inflated air cushion and
seemed to be about four times the
size he was naturally. 1t seemed to
set him sort of crazy and he jumped
out of the buggy. When he lit on
the ground he bounded into the air
like a rubber ball and then went
bounding across the prairie like a
tumble weed before the wind. At
the end of three miles he fell into a
canyon where the wind couldn't MT
him and stopped, but it was a week
before he was back to his normal
size."-Kansas City Star.
