Washington.-.If William H Taft and Theodore Roosevelt are to do the kind Of fighting for the next three months that 1t Is in them to do they must keep their minds of the old days It was the politieian-legisla who has known both men intimately from the day when they began their Washington life, wbo said this.
 President Taft did not believe until six o'clock Sunday, February 25. that Theodore Roosevelt was to declare himself, even in effect, an active can didate for the nomination He hung on after other men had let go their hold to a faith that something h friendship would keep the colonel from saying the definite word which would put him into the field as rival of the man who as secretary Of var sustained him in executive endeayor Mir. Roosevelt's friends say that Mr Taft broke the bonds of friendship when he departed three years ago from the promised path. The blame is thrown one way by some men and an other way by others. but wherever It belongs the friendship seemingly has gone, though 1t may be, as MT Taft Is reported to have said recently to one of his friends, that one day after the troubles time when retirement comes. 1t will return.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
 CAME FROM TEETHING

When my little girl was about eight months old. she was taken with very irritating breaking out, which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with 1t, 1t came in little watery-like festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after few days it would dry down in sealy, white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time.
 T consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema. which he said came from her teething. l used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all Then I wrote for a book on Cuticura, and pur- chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment at the drug store I did as found directions in the Cuticura Book let, and when she was one year old. she was entirely cured Now she is three years and four months. and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cured by the Cuti- cura Soap and Guticura Ointment Signed Mrs Freeman Crayer. 3l1 Lewis St. Syracuse. N. Y. May 6. 1911. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere. a sam pie of each, with 32page book. will be mailed free on application to "Cuti- cura," Dept. L. Boston.

Story Pleased aft.

IL was only a few weeks ago that President Taft was told this story of the words of the man whom even then 1t was expected might be his rival in the 1912 field He liked the story and said it was good to hear il
 Before the country knew generally that Mir Roosevelt hoped that his secretary of war could be induced 10 become a candidate for the presidency a visitor at the White House asked him what progressive Republicans were to do on election day the fol lowing November provided the party insisted on nominating a reactlonary. The president said that he hoped fl would not be necessary for anybody ito go fishing that f the party should nominate as he hoped it would. William II Taft 1t would have a progressive candidate and If he was elected the country would have a pro gressive president. Then he added that his associations with MT Taft and his close friendship with him made him know just how he felt about real progressive legislation and just what he would do to further it's cause if ever he became president.
 There are a few Washington believ- CTS Of story somewhat widely told that MT Roosevelt broke with NIT. Taft before inauguration day, 1909 It Is pretty well known that the prede- cessor watched with some misgivings the successors cabinet making en- deavors. but 1t Is to be doubted If Mir Roosevelt said. as he is reported to have said. "A cabinet like mine does not seem to be good enough for him and 1t may be that in few weeks
The Forrest City times., 1912-03-22
The Ranking Officer.

There Is a Washington newspaper story to the effect that the society editor of local journal went to the White House one morning when MT Roosevelt was president to get some Information on precedence and while there he asked some one who the ranking officer of the cabinet was The president overheard the question and turning said: The secretary of war" So he was to Theodore Roose- welt
 Many things showing the affection between MT. Roosevelt and MT Taft are brought to mind today by the breach between two men who once came as near to being one as human circumstances would admit One night in December. 1907. two or three months before Mr Taft became an announced candidate for the nomina- ton, President Roosevelt, talking to some friends in the White House, said that the country was calling certain legislative policies the Roosevelt policies" Then he said that he did not know whether they were Roose- welt policies or Taft policies. His un- certainty as to the proper name was due, he said, to the fact that long be- fore he had any thought that one day he might be president Of the United States he was thinking along lines Of what he considered to be proper pub lie policies, and wondering If ever they might be given legislative effect. While wondering he found out that another man was thinking along the same lines and also wondering if his thoughts might one day take the form of legislation The other man, Mr Roosevelt said, was William II Taft As the story came from NIT. Roose- vet. he entered into correspondence with Alr Taft, exchanged views and opinions and found that they were identical Hoozevtit said that from that date until the day he was speak ing the two had been close in counsel, fin friendship and in endeavor
