AN UNUSUAL REQUEST

Among the most eccentric OF testa-
tors are those who make requests of
their bodies. In 1871 Mr.. Sanborn
of Medford, Mass, bequeathed his
body to Professor Agassiz and Oliver
Wendell Holmes, representing that it
should be prepared in the most sci
entific manner known to anatomic
science" and placed in the museum
at Harvard. He also directed that his
skin should be made into two drum
heads, to be presented to his friend
and patriotic fellow citizen, Warren
Simpson," on condition that he beat
on them the national air of Yankee
Doodle" at the foot of the monument
on Bunker Hill at sunrise every 17th
of June. On the drumhead was to be
inscribed Pope,s Universal Prayer"
and on the other the Declaration or
Independence.

BIRDS AND GRASSHoPPERS

A strong protest is being made in
South Australia against the continual
slaughter of such birds as the ibis,

slaughter is Objectionable not only as
destroying some OF the most beautiful
and interesting creatures of nature,

Aecuse Teddy of bad Falth.

Chicago. June 10 - Congressman William B. Mckinley, manager of the Taft bureau, tonight issued state ment in part as follows:
 By the unanimous vote of the Re : publican national committee today in cluding the votes of such well known supporters of Theodore Roosevelt as Senator w. E. Borah of Idaho, Cecil Lyon of Texas, Pearl Wight of Lou isiana. the Taft delegates at large were ordered seated in the coming Republican convention over which the Roosevelt delegates at large had con tested their right to their seats.
 Following the action of the In- diana state convention in selecting these Taft delegates, Roosevelt in a speech at the Auditorium March 27, said
 As l have said, such a primary contest (New Yorkl is not merely a farce, but criminal farce. What was done in New York is substan- tially what was done in Indian
 May ,, in a written statement is- sued at Oyster Bay, in reply to Pres E ident Taft's speech in Baltimore, Theodore Roosevelt further said:
 'In Kentucky, Indiana and in New York city and elsewhere Mir Taft knows well that the delegates elect ed for him represent barefaced frauds He stands guilty of conni- vance and conformation of these frauds
 This is a most apt illustration Of the unbridled manner in which Mir Roosevelt throughout this entire campaign has assailed the Repubi- can party, it's principles, it's president
 and it's leaders everywhere. If Mr. Roosevelt does not have his way he denounces everybody and everything in sight regardless of the merit of his cause and in defiance of all square dealing.
 "The absolute bad faith of MT. Roosevelt in bringing contests such as these before the Republican na- tional committee is again emphasized by unanimous decision against him. "
