TAFT men GAIN ADVANTAGE

Admitted TO Hall by Side Entrance

Armory, Bay City, Mich, April H.
The opening act in the Michigan state
Republican convention took place un-
der guard of members of Company Is,
Michigan national guard.
While the troops held the front en-
trance to the armory against crowd
of 1900 delegates and contested dele
gates, members of the Republican
state central committee, headed by
Acting Chairman Robert ii. Shields OF
Heughton, were admitted to the build
ing through a small side entrance.
The Taft forces thus secured the first
strategic advantage in the fight with
Roosevelt men for control of the con-
vention.
AS soon as the Shields members of
the state central committee had been
admitted to the armory Chairman
Knox and former United States Sen
ator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana
also were admitted through the side
entrance. Knox at once voiced en-
phatic protests against the action of
his committee members, but despite
his protests he was voted down.
The committee then proceeded to
choose Robert Shields as temporary
chairman and went ahead with seat
ing arrangements for the delegates,
waiting impatiently outside in the
street.
Planned to Seat Newberry.
While the Taft forces held the
armory in this manner Roosevelt
leaders conferred at downtown hotel
several squares distant and prepared
to go to the convention and seat their
temporary chairman, former Secretary
of the Navy Truman Newberry Of De-
troit.
During the night almost every con.
ceivable method of compromise had
been advanced, discussed and rejected
by the men at the head Of the two
fighting factions.
Bitterness, which has been develop
ing for weeks, came to a head with

Many 0pelousas People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

Without knowing the Cause.
There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness.
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of fltering the
blood and that is the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their Work-give
them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed
by over one hundred thousand
people, and by your neighbors in

WOULD A MOTHER EVER GIVE
HER OWN CHILDREN
AWAY To help A
FRIEND?

flew months ago the Won1an's
Home Componion published 9
short stry in which a woman
gave up her baby to a friend OF
hers who had been injured in q
wreck and rendered incapable OF
ever having children of her own.
The sacrifice was made voIuntar-
lily and without the recipient OF
the baby ever finding out who
gave it to her.
A married woman now writes
to the June Wornan's Home Com
panion the following letter about
this story:
The idea of a woman giving
her newly born baby to another
woman as a consolation prize,
with the consent of the child's
father, both parents understood
to the people of good principles
and good feelings, is in my opinion
tomfool nonsence.
L have been married over
eighteen years, and have seven
children, the youngest Of whom
is now three years old. / had at
the time of my marriage several
very dear little girl friends. One
One of these girls has never been
married. Now, what doyou think
that, in the event of her meet
ing such an accident as the lame
lady in the story, I would offer to
her one of children? Not
much! There have been times
when some of the children have
been particularly experating,
when I have said and thought,
Mercy, if I could only have a
little peace! but as deliberately
giving one of them away--only
over my dead body will anyone
ever get one of mine! And even
if by any miracle I were willing
to do such a thing, do you suppose
you could get their fathers con-
sent to any such proposition?
Every last one of them he regards
as the apple of his eye
No you can nurse your friends
in sickness, pray for them, but
don't usk me for my children, for
you won't get them.

The Sugar Crop.
louisiana Planter.

AOuSlShItd EldIIIEG~
Grass and water are the twin
foes with which Louisiana cane
crop is aow contending. The high
river has n~ecessitated so much
attention and required the pre-
sence on the evees of so many
laborers that the fields have per-
forcebeen neglected, and the rains
of last week gave grass and weeds
an impetus that can only be
checked by the man with the hoe.
Unfortunately the man has had to
g down the hoe, for the time
ng and take up the shovel and
the sand bag. The crop is back
wal1 and grassy, yet the stand IS
Tiers, and permits our local plant
ers feel reasonably hopeful,
wherever their fields are not
actually overflowered.
Everything now depends on the
weather we have during the
growing season. Extraordinarily
good weather may enable the
young canes to retrieve their FIVE
or six weeks hackwardness.
Should the sumner be unfavor-
able q short crop is a~certainty.

How 4 Lion Prepares His
Meal.

In an article on lions in the
June American Magazine, Ste.
wart Edward White describes the
manner it which a lion kills his
prey. Mr., White has just return.
ed from a years hunt in Africa,
during which he saw II lions and
killed several. Following is an
extract;
THE lion generally springs on
his prey from behind or a little
off the quarter. By the impetus
of his own weight he hurls his VIC
tim forward, doubling its head I'M
der, and very nearly breaking its
neck. Ihave never seen this done,
but the process has been well OBJ
served and attested; land certainly
the many hundreds of lion kills I
have taken the pains to inspect,
the majority had had their necks
broken, Some, but apparently
more rarely, the lion kills its prey
by a bite in the back Of the neck.
I have seen zebra killed in this
fashion, but never any of the buck.
It may be possible that the lack of
horns makes it more difficult to
break zebra's neck because Of the
corresponding lack of leverage
when its head hits the ground
sidewise.
Once the kill Is made, the lion
disembowels the beast very neatly
indeed, and drags the entrails a
few feet out of the way. He
then eats what he wants; and
euriousyly enough, seems often to
be very fond of the skin. In fact
lacking other evidence, it is occa-
sionally possible to Identify a kill as
being that lion by noticing whether
any considerats portion Of the hide
has been devoured. After eating
he drinks. Then he is likely to do
one of two things, either he returns
to cover near the carcass and lies
down; or he Wanders slowly and
with satisfaction toward his happy
home. In the latter case the hyenas
jackals and carrin birds seize their
chance. The astute hunter can
often diagnose the case by the
general actions and demeanor of
these camp followers. A half
dozen sour and distinguished look
ing hysnas seated on their haunch-
es at scattered intervals, and tree
fuls of mournfully hump-backed
vultures sunk in sadness, indicate
that the lion has decided to save
of his zebra until to-mor-
row; and is not far away. On
the other hand a Tapping, snarl-
Kilkenny-fair of an aggrega-
ton sWirling about one spot in the
grass means that the principal
actor has gone home. It is or
dinarily useless to expec+ to see
the lion actually on his prey. The
feeding is done before dawn,
after which the lion enjoys strech-
out in the open until the sun
is we'll up, and then retiring to
the nearest available cover. In
an undisturbed country, or not
much hunted, the early morning
hours, up to say nine o'clock, are
quite likely to show you lions
sauntering leisurely across the op-
en- plains toward their lairs. They
go a little. stop a little, yawn, sit
down a while, gradually work
way home. At those times
you come upon them unexpectly
face to face, or, seeing them from
afar, ride them down in aglorious
galFop.'
