A man entered London theater In

housed there. had broken from their
cage. One gave him blow with its
paw, then took him in its mouth. The
blow from lions paw is said to be.

ROOSEVELT PUTS
TAFT OUT OF RACE
Declares Real Fight in Campaign 10
Between Wilson and Himself.

The real fight in the coming CAM
paign, Colonel Roosevelt declared on
last Friday, would be between himself
and Governor Wilson. He expressed
the belief that President Taft's sup
porters did not expect to elect him.
The Colonel made this statement in
discussing the situation in Pennsyl-
vania.
I'VE will beat Mr.. Taft in Pennsyl-
vania a good deal worse than we beat
him in the primary" said Colonel
Roosevelt, and personally, I am con.
WINGED that we shall carry Pennsyl-
vania without difficulty for the pro-
gressive ticket. There, as everywhere
else, the fight is between Mr.. Wilson
and myself, the Taft supporters, as
shown by the action of Messrs. PEN
rose and Archbold, have not the
slightest idea of electing Mr.. Taft.
Moreover, they care little about 1t"
Col. Roosevelt will not only carry
Pennsylvania, but most of the Eastern
and every one of the Middle Western
states. He will carry Illinois; he will
carry Kansas, and he will carry Ne
braska by heavy majorities. He will
carry the entire Pacific Coast. WASH
ington will give him plurality of

All Sorts Of Shapes and Sizes In All
Manner Of Materials.
In Japan teapots may be had in any
shape, in any design, at any price. One
model Is a huge caldron-like affair that
will hold three gallons, while others
are so small that thimbleful may
be said almost to make them overflow.
The japanese have teapots in the
shape of birds. beasts and fowls.
Fishes and frogs have lent their forms
to others. A beetle design is very
popular, as is one depicting fat.
squirming eel. Buddha himself has
been pressed into service as model.
Swans, correct to the last curl Of neck
and feathers. form teapots so small
that they can be hidden in the palm
Of the hand. There are lotus bud pots
and pots in the shape Of teahouses.
All manner of materials are fnclud-
ed in the composition. Inlaid silver,
hammered copper, iron exquisitely
wrought and all the different kinds
of Japanese pottery have been used
in the manufacture Of teapots. Sever
al favorite designs bring 500 apiece.
but so cheap Is artistic handiwork In
the far east that many others may be
bought for few cents.-New York

4 PECULIAR WOMAN.
The Born Parisienne, Her Moods, Her
Smile and Her Charm.

The Born Parisisnns, Her Moods, Her
Smile and Her Charm.
The Parisienne is not and never has
been representative Of the Fre1ch-
woman, although she might be de-
scribed as the distilled essence Of all
that Is French.
She is too volatile to be typical Of the
women Of France. She is also bizarre,
and the Frenchwoman, broadly speak
ing, never is. She Is gay and morbid
at one and the same moment She Is
eternally young, yet born with the
cynical wisdom of ages. She is brave
to the point Of folly. She is free from
any faint Of provlncialism and in a
way stands on a small pinnacle apart
from the rest of womankind with a
smile that has some fellowship with
that of the sphinx. Her charm is world
renowned and indisputable and Of a
peculiar kind.
She is not beautiful, and she is never
merely pretty, but charm runs In her
blood, and it is as natural for her to
use It as it is for the sun to shine.
Everything about her is witness to this
attribute, and she herself accepts It as
q law written by unseen hands, un-
changeable as that which rules the ''or-
DERBY procession Of the stars" and
powerful as that which brought her
into the world and will one day send
her out Of it.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Bones as a Barometer.

The merits of bones as indicators
of fair or foul weather have been
vouched for by the captain Of an
Italian steamer carrying cargo OF
bones from the South American port
of Buenos Aires to New York. When
the ship was sailing toward storm
recently, the skipper stated, the bones
creaked and moaned, and when fair
weather was ahead they were silent
again.-Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
