PLACES BLAME UPON TEDDY.

Since his return to his +
home from the republican
national convention Governor
Hadley by his moderate
course has added to the es-
TEEN in which he is held by
all those who observed his at
titude during the great meet
ing at Chicago. Governor
Hadley was an earnest sup
porter of Roosevelt from the
beginning, as was his right
and one that none could or
cared to contest. He was
chosen as floor leader for the
Roosevelt forces and uttered
his protest against the seat
ing Of certain delegates,
clothing his circumstances
in temperate language and
declining to descend to the
vitupertation in which Colon
ell Roosevelt and certain of
his followers ind u g e d.
Using the ordinary weapons
of politics, the Missouri gov
ernor made his campaign and
lost, but felt no bitterness in
his defeat.
Hadley was not Of the stripe
of the most of those who sur
rounded Mr.. Roosevelt. He
was as suspicious of the rep
resentatives of the harvester
and steel trusts in the Roose-
welt camp as he was of those
in other camps whom he re-
garded as agents of predatory
interests. His admiration for
Mr.. Roosevelt did not blind
him to the influences which

ident's course for him, and he
steadfastly declined to follow
the colonel when he tried t.
scuttle the party ship.
Frequently in private con
versation the executive O
Missouri declared that pro-
gressiveism was not a matter
of personality or individual
ism and that he preferred tt
take his chances with the re
publican party. So great wa.
his impression upon the con
vention, so apparent his pop
ularity with members of al
factions, that Mr.. Roosevelt
finally deposed him as foo
leader and gave the task t,
Henry J. Allen of Wichita,
relic of the days when Kan
sas was raising little corn
less wheat and a good deal c
sheol. But Hadley continue
his moderate course and
still within the party ranks

that guarantees safe and san
progressiveism, the only sol
that can be successful.
That Colonel Roosevelt

schism in the party and tia

by Governor Hadley's state

AN EARLY BIBLICAL ROMANCE
First Popular Story In Literature
World Is Discovered In Flo
phantine.

Assouan.-What is declared to be
the earliest popular romance in tie
literature of the world has come 20
light in Elephantine,, an ancient i5-
land in the Nile, near Assouan. This
tale, bearing the title "Acicarius," is
found in an ancient African manu-
script. 1t was written about 500 B. G..
The tale is referred to by the author
of the Book of Tobias, and later it
appears, in a modified form in the
Arabian Nights. The manuscript has
been restored by a German transla-
tor, who gives an entertaining synop-
sis Of it's contents:
THE wise Achikar is the vizier of
the king Sinacherib and his son
Asurachiddin. He Is extraordinarily
rich, but has no son. When he COM
plains of this to the gods he receives
the advice to adopt his nephew Madam
In place of a son. He follows the ad-
vice and instructs Madam in all wis

Tampa, Fa.-Within the boundaries
Of the United States exists an indie.
pendent nation that recognizes no de.
partment of u government and has
its own rulers, laws, customs and Ian.
guage. The United States is as much
a foreign country to it as England or
France. This nation, numbering
about five hundred persons, is confined
to the Everglades in the most southern
part of Florida. 1t Is all that remains
intact of the Seminole Indians, formerly
n of the most powerful tribes, numer-
ically in North America. The nation
as at present organized, Is compare
lively recent, but as a relic of the past,
it dates back to the pre-Columbian
period.
Just seventy years ago a peace
agreement was declared which ended
a seven years was between the Semi
noles and the United States govern
ment. The Seminole tribe was made
up of two bands Of Creeks who with
drew from the main body in 1850 and
moved to Florida, where they were
joined by remnants of tribes that had
come in contact with the Spaniards.
They were hostile to the white settlers,
and caused the Americans a great deal
of trouble during the Revolutionary
war. They affiliated with the Span
iards In 1893, and again showed their
enmity to the United States in the

Seminoles, together with a large num-
Der of runaway negroes, began ma
king raids and massacres throughout
the frontier settlements of Georgia
and Alabama In a little less than a
year they were completely subdued by
Gen. Andrew Jackson.
The Indians signed a treaty in 1923
In which they agreed to give up nearly
all of their Florida land for a certain
consideration. Some, however, object
ed to these conditions and were al
lowed to remain, with the understand
ing that they were to live p~eaceably
and surrender all fugitive slaves.
This was unsatisfactory to the Geor-
CLANS, who demanded that the Indians
be removed by force. An attempt to
do this in 1885 precipitated the second
Seminole war, which lasted seven
years and which is said to have been
the bloodiest Indian war in American
history.
Under the leadership of Osceola,
who combined both cunning and hero
ism, the Indians were remarkably sue
cessful. In one Of the massacres Gen.
Thomson was avenged by Osceola's

ELECTRIC LIGHT IN DENMARK
Every Town In That Country of Over
5000 Population Has
Public Service.

According to recent information
about the progress of electric light
and power industries In Denmark, 1t
appears that all the towns Of 5000
inhabitants and over are now provid-
ed with public electric service, says
the Scientific American. AS to towns
having between 5000 and 5000 inhabit-
ants, there are only three in which
electric mains are not installed, 80
that it will be seen that Denmark is
one of the most progressive countries
in this respect. The largest sized cleo
trio stations are to be found at Co.
penhagen and at present there are
three large plants In operation giving
a total of $1,000 horse power. Cur
rent is supplied for the city mains,
as well as for the tramway lines. AS
regards the Danish stations in small
towns, in general each town has its
own plant, and there is but one ex-
ample Of an intercommunal system.
This is at S~kovshoved, near Copenha-
gen, n the central station extends
Its power lines over all the suburban
regions, also supplying the tramways
of Hellerup and ~Klampenburg. In
most Of the town electric stations the
Diesel heavy oil engine is used.

AduIatIon Pleased Rousseau.

Rousseau, whose bicentenary cele.
bratton occasioned a riot in Paris the
other day, created a sensation when
he visited England in 1866. Rousseau
and his Armenian Dress" wrote Lord
C~harlemont, were followed by
crowds when he first arrived in Lon
don, and as long as this species of
admiration lasted he was contented
and happy. Garrick not only gave a
supper in his honor, but played two
characters specially to please him.
Rousseau was highly gratihed, but
Mrs. Garrick declared that she had
never spent a more unpleasant ev-
ening In her life, the philosopher be-
Ing so anxious to display himself,
and hanging over the front Of the
box so much, that she was obliged to
hold him by the skirts of his coat to
prevent him from falling over into

SON OF KING is BOY SCOUT
Prince knud of Denmark Also Pre-.
pares a Dinner for His
Royal Parents.

Copenhagen, Denmark. Prince
Knud, the second son of King Chris
tian X, has obtained the permission
Of his parents to join the boy scouts.
The young prince, who is very bright,
has earned the cost of his uniform
by saving up his pocket money just
as the other boy scouts are required
to do. In drill the prince has taken
a leading place and, like all of the
Danish boy scouts, he has learned to
cook while On the march.
The lesson in the culinary art was
so well learned by the prince that
he invited his mother and father to
a little dinner which he had prepared
with his own hands. He served his
august parents with soup, an excel
lent course of meat, vegetables and
some nice dessert, and at the conclu.
sion of the meal their majesties
agreed that they had enjoyed an ex-
cellent dinner and they promised the
prince they would soon again become
his guests.

and pus and blood would run down his
legs. He scratched the spots on both
legs and caused very sore places, eau

were large sores with large holes IN
them. They were fierce to look at,
and were SO inflamed I had to keep
him home with cloths bound around

The pernicious habit some persons

by what is put into the stomach in the
way Of improper food, the kind that
so taxes the strength Of the digestive
organs they are actually crippled.
When this state is reached, to resort
to tonics is like whipping a tired
horse with a big load. Every addi-
tional effort he makes under the lash
diminishes his power to move the
load.

Off heavy, greasy, indigestible food

Ruins on Island of ~Elephantine.
Achikar rebukes him for 1t he SLAM
ders the wise old man, denouncing
him to the king as a traitor. Achikar
is SO stunned with horror that he is
unable to utter a word in his own de-
tense, ~whereupon the ruler gives or
ders to Nabusamach to put him to
death. But Nabusamach, who had
once been saved from death by Achi-
kar, kills a slave in his place and
hides the old mar in a secret dun
geon.
THE Egyptian Pharaoh hears of the
vizier's downfall and promptly de-
clares war on the Babylonian unless
he shall ransom himself by the per-
Torrance of a heavy task. The kings
councillors are at a loss for words of
advice. In this dire need Nabusamach
confesses that Achikar still lives and
the king may avail himself Of his
counsel. The old vizier promptly res
cues the king, to the great annoyance
of the Pharaoh.
The conclusion of the tale is as
naive as it is amusing in it's oriental
viewpoint. Madam is deposed and
brought in chains before Achikar, who
has him ~incarcerated and fed on bread
and water. Meanwhile he daily re-
gales him with intellectual sustenance
in the shape of stories and fables
which are packed with both worldly
wisdom and spiritual e~dification. This
is especially interesting because it re-
calls the plan of the ancient Sanskrit
collection of instructive tales known
as the Hitopadesa.
The wretched Madam takes the
treatment very i'll. Overcome with
anger and c~hagrin-and possibly en-
nui-he "swells up and bursts!
This history was widely known in
the Orient and was piously com
mented on by the writer Of the Book
of Tobias as follows:
behold, my son, how Nadab (Na-
dam dealt with Achikar, that he
brought him alive into a dungeon un-
der the earth. But God recompensed
him for his sorrow. He came again
unto the light and Nadab went hence
into eternal darkness"

California woman,s Good Shot

While walking through the woods
near Cohaset, Mrs. w. H. Pillsbury
of Chico shot a large brown bear that
measured six feet from tip to tip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pillsbury were walk
ing from their summer home near
Cohasset. to the "Promontory," a
high point from which an excellent
view of the whole valley can be had.
Mrs. Pillsbury had a 1890 carbine.
Suddenly she saw a large bear COM
ing down the hill about forty yards
away. Its a bear, shall l shoot it,"
she shouted to her husband. Pills
bury answered in the affirmative and
his wife asked, "Where shall I shoot
him." I'm the head" came the ans
wer. With deliberate aim the woman
fired, hitting the animal square in
the right eye, killing him instantly.
The hide weighed seventy pounds
and the weight of the carcass was es-
timated at 300 pounds.-Chico Cor.

UnfaiIinq StimuIant,

Men have tried many things, but
still they ask for stimulant-the slim
ulant in use but requires the use of
more. Men try to drown the floating
dead of their own souls in the wine
cup, but the corpses will rise. We see
their faces in the bubbles. The in
toxication of drink sets the world
whirling again, and the pulses playing
music, and the thoughts g~alloping, but
the fast clock runs down sooner, and
the unnatural stimulation only leaves
che house it fills with revelry-more
silent, more sad, more deserted, more
dead. There is only one stimulant
that fails, and yet never intoxi,

Browning, son of the famous poet,
but so far it has not been found. The
fact that there apparently is no will
is causing considerable gossip, as

deal, both in Asolo and Florence,
will pass to his wife, who was Miss

whom he lived apart for years, owing
