LAFOLLErTE A GAME LOSER

SENATOR LaFollette has drawn an
indictment against Theodore Roosevelt
which contains many true counts says
an eastern exchange. He charges that
the former president attempted To turn
the progressive" cause TO his own
personal advantage after il had been
made important by other men, that he
endeaeored 10 cultivate an appearance
of spontaneous demand for his presiden
tial candidacy by the expenditure Of
enormous sums of money and by spec
tacular campaigning, that he is init
mat lily associated with trust magnates
and local bosses, and these recruits
have been either indifferent or opposed
To the progressive cause until very
recently, and in fine that Mr.. Roose-
welt must take the responsibility for
dividing the "progressiyes" in their
national contest.
This indictment the senator has print
eel in his own magazine and has given
out TO the nation through the press
agencies. 1t furnishes very timely
piece of evidence that the so-called
"progressives" are badly split up
among themselves, and il no doubt
helps considerably 10 relieve the feel
ings of the man who wrote 1t. But
Mr.. LaFollette has already accomplish
eel result which must crafty his quite
natural desire for vengeance upon Mr..
Roosevelt much more than mereempty
scribbings could ever do. He hit the
eX-president hard blow at y critical
time during the Chicago convention,
when he cast the votes of his followers
against the claims of the Roosevelt con.
testants for disputed seats in Alabama.
1t was not so much the effect of these
votes i'm seating the Taft delegates that
injured the campaign of his former ally.
The moral effect of the verdict was pro-
nounced. The clam was made that
the worst kind Of rascaliiy had been
pIactised in ousting the Roosevelt
Alabama delegates, and this claim was
the Cornerstone of The whole Roosevelt
case, rs indeed il still IS. But when
the nation came To understand that the
Roosevelt delegates were not ousted by
the Taft forces, that they owed their
rejection directly 10 the progressive
votes of Wisconsin, the framework and
superstructure of the entire Roosevelt
fabric collapsed AT once. How can
anybody be persuaded after this vote
that Mr.. Roosevelt was robbed by Mr.
Taft's managers?
LaFollette has improved his standing
with many voters by his action in Tn,
convention of his party. He went in.
To il to win the nomination if he could
When he failed he did not quit and
talked about robbery. He stayed 10 the
finish and went down 10 defeat like O
man. He will come up again and there

FAMOUS LEAPS OF BYARD
Hoof Prints Near Newmarket That
Mark Jumps Of tho Legendary
Blind Horse.

Near Newmarket, In Lincolnshire.
England, there are three marks OF
horses hoofs, and each mark Is seven
yards distant from the other. Every
man who farms the field Is careful to
keep these marks from being grass
grown or plowed up For they are the
famous marks of Byard's leap, which
is recounted in the following story:
There was once witch OF New
market who bewitched the cattle and
crops of her neighbors and did all sorts
Of mischief, and at last one farmer
went to a wise man and asked him
what to do to overcome the witch.
Tie a naked dagger around your
waist" said the wise man. Then
drive your horses into pond at night
and throw a stone into the pond
Mount the horse that lifts his head up
first and gallop off to the witch's hut
and bid her out to ride with you"
Byard, blind horse, was the flrst
TO raise his head when the farmer
threw the stone, so the farmer mount
ed him and galloped to the witch's
hut
"Out and ride with me! Out and
ride with mel"
And out came the witch. She jump
ed at the horse, and Byard made his
first leap. and got away. She jumped
again, and Byard made his second
leap and got away. Al the third leap
she sprang behind the farmer and
wound her skinny arms about his
waist. But the dagger cut her left
arm, and she lost all her power, and
was never able to trouble anybody
again.

InconsIderate Knot.

The drydocking of the schooner For
ester, which put In at San Francisco
the other day In distress, revealed the
fact that the leak, the source of the
schooners distress, was merely o
knothole. The knot in one of the bot.
tom planks had fallen out, leaving a
hole an inch wide by one and one
half inches long. To keep out the wa
ter that came through this knothole
the Forester's pumps were kept going
night and day and the vessel arrived
with ten feet OF water In it's hold The
desertion Of its hole by this faithless
knot imperiled the lives of the schoon-
er's crew and involved owners and
underwriters in an expense of more
than $1,000. The hole has been
plugged up. and as this is all that
allied the Forester the schooner will
proceed on its voyage as Noon as the
cargo has been reloaded.

A small vial or soda mint bottle

Another convenient thing In work

sors.
Never sew lace with silk, as the
stitches are very noticeable. This is
true no matter how coarse the lace.

BLACK BREAD OF GUETERSLOH
WestphalIan Pumpernlckel and
Made Fortune OF Bakers.

Guetersloh was q town of some fif-
teen hundred inhabitants some eighty
years ago when, one day during the
maneuvers, young lieutenant took
up his quarters there. This lieutenant
came from Pomerania, where they
also make black bread of fine quality
but he liked better the peculiar flavor
Of the Westphalia article. His name
was Bismarck.
In the year 1870 Bismarck was
again travelling through Guetersloh
this time as chancellor King William
was with him. When the train
stopped the prime minister called out
genially to the crowd that had come
to meet them:
rs there any one who can get us
some pumpernickel with butter?"
AS a number OF reporters were pres
ent when this query was made the for
tune of the Guetersloh black bread
was made, and 1t speedily became the
fashion all over Germany. The craze
for Westphalian pumpernickel spread
far and wide, cunningly furthered by
the bakers who now baked for export
only small one-pound loaves. for the
purpose of making 1t look more like
delicatessen." as they say.
The bakers of Guetersloh were
worldly wise, for from the same
kneading-troughs there go into the
oven first the huge loaves Certain OF
these that go to the farm-houses often
weighing half hundredweight) and
then, shaped OF what Is left, the tiny
loaves that are wrapped in paper and
exported to all parts Of the world To
be sold at q delicatessen.
