STEALS FROM TAFT'S COW.
Visitor Uses Hat for Lacteal Product
on White House Lawn.

Canton, o., Aug. 3O.-Pauline
Wayne, President Taft's prize cow,
was held up and robbed on the White
House grounds a day or two ago by
J. F. Koehler, instructor in agricul-
ture, in a high school here.
Koehler, just back from his trip
to the capital, tells how he saw Paul
inc, of whom he read, calmly rumin-
ating on the south lawn of the White
House. His personal instinct being
dominant and no policeman in sight,
he determined to see if Pauline would
back a leg" and "give down" for
him.
Approaching Pauline, hat in hand,
with his best manner, he found her
complacent. Then the ready hat found
it's use and very quickly he obtained
a supply of milk which later was
found to justify the encomiums that
have been bestowed upon the prize
of the White House stables.

Made Cork Leg q Bank.

Frederick, Md, Aug. 30.-Not
placing enough faith in banks, Sam
uel Ridenbaugh, a restaurant keeper
in Brunswick, this county, for years
deposited his savings in hole in
his cork leg, especially prepared for
a banking receptacle.
Secretive and peculiar in his hab-
it's, Ridenbaugh had never disclosed
this eccentricity. Recently he was
taken suddenly i'll and after hur-
ried consultation by physicians an
immediate operation was decided up
on. He was taken to the Frederick
City Hospital.
Before being operated on he ask
ed that a friend be called in. Un-
strapping his cork leg, Ridenbaugh
intrusted it to his friends care, tell
ing him that it contained all his per-
sonal possessions.
Ridenbaugh died and s1,100 in
bank notes of large denominations,
gold and some silver, was found in
the cork leg. The money was de-
posted in the Peoples Bank OF
Brunswick under the name of Riden-
baugh.

REVOLVER AS "PERSUADER."
Mobile Chauffeur Draws Weapon
When Passenger Refuses to Pay.

Mobile, Ala, Sept. In an effort
to collect a taxicab fare of So,
George Smith, a chauffeur, 19 years
of age, to-day drew revolver on a
man who gave his name as A. o.
Koppersmith. Patrolmen grabbed
the mans arm just as he was bring
ing the revolver into line with Kop-
persmith's body. Smith stated that
he did not intend shooting the man
but simply wanted to intimidate him
in order to collect the fare.
The chauffeur says Koppersmith
along with several other men have
been giving taxicab drivers a great
deal of trouble. They call a taxicab,
it is said, ride around until their bill
amounts to several dollars, and while
the car is still in motion, Jump on
and escape.

Blease's Address.

The address of Gov. Blease, which
appeared in the papers yesterday IS
one of the most sacrilegious produc-
tions that we have read in many a
day. The idea of attributing an elec-
ton, marked by the grossest frauds,
to the blessings of the Lord is car
rying it just little too far, but 1t
shows what an evil man will do. No
doubt, he sometimes prays and sings
songs of rejoicing, but his prayers
and songs are blasphemous.
Blease has never manifested in any
thing that we have ever seen from
him spirit of reverence. On the
contrary his every utterance has been
vile and most disgusting. We do not
believe that prayer, thanksgiving
and praise ever are coupled with vul-
garity, profanity and fraud.
This address is enough to disgust
those who have any respect for
righteousness, decency and honesty.

Homeless Dog Saves Girl.

New Brunswick, N. j., Aug. 29.-
A homeless, homely, half-breed New
foundland dog limped forlornly
through Southbound Brook a few
days ago and fingered under a boat
house on the ;Raritan river. Hector,
as some one called him, was lying on
the pier yesterday afternoon looking
hopeless, when Miss Bertha Thomp-
son put out in her canoe.
When she was so feet from the
pier she dropped her paddle, and in
trying to recover it, upset the canoe.
The next instant the dog had plunged
off the pier and was swimming swift
ly toward her. AS she came up the
second time Hector fastened his teeth
in her waist and in few minutes
had her safely on shore. Hector is
no longer homeless dog.

Indians Poisoned Arrows.

The arrow poison used by the In
dians of Colombia has been found to
be the secretion Of the skin Of a
small frog. Tie arrows are eight
inch palm spines, which are shot from
blow gun about IA feet long, and
the hunter carries the frog along in
hollow bamboo in order that he
may have the poison in fresh condi-
ton.
A simple prick of the skin yields
the poison drop when needed. When
one of the arrows enters the body of
even a large animal-such as a jag
uar, monkey or deer-paralysis
quickly follows and the victim is then
easily killed. The use of the poison,
it is said, does not affect the flesh Of
the animals killed, which is quite
harmless when eaten.
Two French naturalists have made
experiments with the edible frog, Ra-
ma esculenta, showing that its skin
exudes a similar poison when irri-
tated, and that an extract prepared
from the skin gives in guinea pigs
the same symptoms as inoculation
with the arrow poison Chicago Tri-

Judge Jones got about the vote
in the State he was expected to get.
He received about sixty-seven thous-
and votes. On a vote of 100000 in
the State, which would have been a
large vote compared with the vote
two years ago, he would have been
elected by a majority of fourteen
thousand over both his opponents.
But more votes were cast in the pri-
mary than there are white male resi-
dents in the State, according to the
census.-Orangeburg Times and
