One day. stopping to mail a letter

hailed by the blacksmith.

fellow named Slosson sends you his
regards. He came through in an auto
on the way to Santa Rosa. He wanted
to know II you didn't live hereabouts,
but the crowd with him was In a hur-

said to tell you he'd taken you ad-
Vice and was still going on breaking

Of the incident.

MUSIC. AS CURATIVE AGENT
Singing Teaches Correct Breathing
and Lively waltzes Have Good Ef.
fects on Meianchoila Patients.

Two English physicians OF promi.
nence have recently asserted that the
exercise given to the lungs In singing
Is valuable In the prevention and cure
OF diseases OF those organs. They
consider that increased professional
recognition should be extended TO this
special therapeutic agency, as advis.
able In cases where pulmonary con-
sumption is feared.
Singing involves correct nasal
breathing. and this means that the
air admitted to the lungs is prac-
tically germ free. and also the ade.
quate development OF the upper Dor.
uons OF the respiratory passages. An
other effect is the maintenance OF the
elasticity and proper expansion OF the
chest. The necessary breathing exer.
cises mean increased functional ac-
tivtty OF the lungs. Then. there Is
the improved oxygenation OF the
blood. which singing necessarily pro-
notes.

How many beautiful stories could be

Names Much Garbled.

The White Star officials studied
without success in interpreting the
meaning of some of the spellings, and
came to the conclusion that many of
them were badly garbled because of
the fact that the list had been relayed.
II came via the steamer La COMA to
the Cape Race wireless station and
was sent by cable to New York. Tele-
graph operators acquainted with both
Morse and continental code speculat-
ed as to whether the names of Mai.

that appeared trustworthy in such q

name.
Similar speculation developed over
the name IN. Colas Rasher," a name
which the White Star line could not
account for and which telegraph oper-
ators thought might be Col. Astor's.

questionable interpretations.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. Ex-senator
John g. Houk, Jesse M. Littleton,
Harry Anderson and other republican
leaders have been here this week, hob
nobbing with State Treasurer j. Tom
Taylor and other lights of the Brown
low faction. 1t is also rumored that
Treasurer Taylor and Gov. Hooper,
bitter faction enemies, have held
conferences. There is ground for the
belief that some effort is being made to
carry out President Taft's wishes, as
expressed to Hooper, Houk and Taylor
that factions get together in Tennessee.
The Brownlowites, however, are re-
ported to be demanding that new
state committee be selected, composed
equally of Brownlow and Hooper men;
that Newell Sanders be deposed as
chairman, or another man be elected
in his stead, and Taft give them fair
division of the federal offices. Cover
nor Hooper is understood to have de-
clared he would stand by Sanders, and

pie.

WANTED TO KNOCK HIM
INTO A COOKED HAT

New York, January S.-Gov. Wood
row Wilson was anxious several year,
ago to retire VIM. J. Bryan from The
councils of the democratic party, ac
cording to letter given out here last
night by Adaian II. Joline, a lawyer
which was said TO have been written
him by DR.. Wilson April 27, 1907.
The letter is brief and said in part:
"Would that we could do some
thing at once dignified and effective to
knock Mr.. Bryan once and for all into
a cooked hat.
The balance of the communication
was purely personal and had no politi-
cal flavor. This letter has been the
subject of considerable discussion in
political circles in New York aud
Washington for several days past.
