Chased by Wounded Buffalo.

A wounded buffalo is about as ugly
an antagonist as a man would care to
meet. Twenty years ago the buffaloes
were still plentiful in Texas, and the
present mayor Of n Of the leading
cities in that state wildly recalls one
day when, instead Of hunting buffalo,
the buffalo hunted him. He got with
in range OF a small herd and brought
down a big bull. Away scampered the
rest of the herd, and the hunter ad-
vanced with his knife. When within
ten yards the bull, with a terrific bel
low, staggered to its feet and charged
the hunter. His gun was empty, and
he ran away as fast as his legs could
carry him. A buffalo can run faster
than an ordinary horse, and in a few
minutes the mar realized that it was
only a question Of time when he would
be trampled down. But he kept on
running, and just when he felt the hot
breath behind him he heard a dull
crash and, looking back, saw the but.
falo lying struggling on the ground,
faint with loss Of blood. This time the
hunter reloaded his gun and finished
the animal for sure.-Chicago Record

June IL, 1906, was on January 8, 1908,
held to be unconstitutional. Another
Of this sort was passed on April %,
1908, which as vet has not been tested
in the courts. Through the efforts Of
the president a commission was ap-
pointed to make an investigation Of
the subject Of employers liability
and workmen's compensation"
Labor Men Appointed.
The report Of the commission, the
evidence taken before it and the draft
Of the bill prepared as a result Of the
findings Of said commission have been
transmitted to congress, accompanied
by a special message by President
Taft, in which he recommends the
passage of the proposed measure. In
their deliberations the members Of
the commission had the benefit of fire.
Quent consultations with the president.
It Is believed the act will stand the
test of constitutionality.
In order that the commission might
have the benefit of the experience of
a practical man President Taft ap-
pointed as n of its members Daniel
l.. Cease, the editor Of the Railroad
Trainmen's Journal, the official organ
of the railroad trainmen. Mr.. Cease
has devoted the best years Of his USE
ful life to the of labor. The
president also appointed experienced
labor men as inspectors under the To-
connective boiler inspection law. They
were John F. Ensign of Colorado and
Frank McManamy Of Oregon for chief
inspector and assistant chief inspector
respectively.
The defects in the present eight hour
law have not escaped the attention of
President Taft. He has recommended
to congress amendments which will
make 1t really effective by "providing
that public works shall be construed
to include not only buildings and
works upon public grounds, but also
ships armor and large guns when
manufactured in private yards or fac
tories"
Thirty Years. Service.
With regard to the high cost Of liv-
ing, which increases the burden OF the
wage earners, President Taft has al
ready taken the initiative that will re-
suit in a worldwide inquiry into this
problem. He has advocated the as
sembling Of a worlds congress to dis
cuss its varied phases and to suggest
remedies.
This unparalleled record of thirty
years service to the cause of all the
people is deserving Of consideration.

promises can be made, nc hint of de-
parture from the plain path of duty

Howard Taft, who without ostenta-
tous display has wisely and fearless
~ administered the trust imposed upon
him in 1908, when he was elected to

Fierce Fight Between Elephants.

Describing a fight between elephants,
staged for the amusement Of the ma
harajah Of Baroda, a writer in Pear.
sons Magazine says: 1.-TWO of them,
genuinely mad and rendered still moro
crazy by the administration Of intoxi-
eating drugs, each with its hind legs
tied together, f1anked on either side
by an army Of attendants carrying
long spears, are brought and, after
their bonds are removed, turned loose
IN the arena. The big brutes dash at
each other full tilt, their trunks way
ing in the air and thrashing against
each others head and body as they
fight for supremacy. The sport Is
stopped before it becomes very san
culinary. A rocket is lit by one Of the
keepers. The thick, steamlike smoke
and kissing noise it produces startle
the beasts. Their trunks disengage.
Instantly anklets lined with sharp
pointed spikes are snapped about their
hind legs, hurting them so e%xcruciat-
ingly that they at once kneel and per-
NIT the chains to be put on them"

From the day three years ago when
it placed its interests in the keeping Of
William Howard Taft to this hour la
Dor has critically scanned his every
act, and with discriminating mind it is
judging him as one who, without clam
or or demonstration, has kept the faith.
On Sept. 8, 1908, Theodore Roosevelt,
then president of the United States,
wrote a letter to Conrad Kohrs on the
issues Of the campaign and, addressing
himself to the laboring men, said:
If there Is one body Of men more
than another whose support l feel l
have a right to challenge on behalf of
Secretary Taft it is the body of wage
workers of the country. A stancher
friend, a fairer and truer represent
alive they cannot find within the bor-
ders Of the United States. He will do
everything in his power for them ex-
cept to do that which is wrong. He
will do wrong for no man and there
fore can be trusted by all men,"
Mr.. Taft Labor's Friend.
The workingmen Of the country
judged Mr.. Taft in 1908 by a record Of
twenty-seven years as a statesman, ad-
m1nistrator of national affairs and pres
idential adviser, and they helped to
give him the magnificent majority
which put him in the White House.
During the three years he has been
president his excellent record has been
maintained SO splendidly that the Ia
boring men have been confirmed in the
belief that they never had a better
friend in the White House.
The establishment of the postal saw
ings banks, which was recommended
by President Taft, was one Of the
things that organized labor favored.
The $16,O0O,OOO now IN deposit in these
repositories represents the savings Of
the wage earners
Taft's Personal Interest.
President Taft approved a law on
HAoy wv AOOCs " compensate WOIALAeu
tor injuries received while in the en-
ploy of the United States. After the
passage Of this act a number Of work
men in the employ Of the federal gov
eminent were killed, and their fam
lilies, not being familiar with the pro-
visions Of the law, failed to file afada-
Wits within the specified time. The Sec
rotary of commerce and labor had no
power to set aside the provision of the
law and was therefore obliged to dis
approve the claims.
The matter was taken up by the pres
tdent, and he satisfied himself that JUS
ttce was not being done to the families
OF the men who had been killed. He
sent a special message to congress rec
ommending that a general act be pass
ed allowing all such claimants compen-
sation If their claims were otherwise
meritorious. This was an instance that
proved the president to be broadmind-
ed and anxious to aid the workingmen
IN any way that he could.
