Roosevelt took radical issue with
Congressman Campbell Of Kansas.
The Colonel according to reports went

Campbell as he went" and throughout
the trip had some test things to say
about Mr.. Campbell, incident to the
latters support for President Taft.
Representative Campbell replied to
the Colonel in the House of Represen-

POOR AS A CHURCH MOUSE
Since Confetti Came Into Use, the
Saying Has More Meaning Than
at Former Times.

The sexton OF fashionable New
York church was sweeping into a
large mound the bright purple, red
and yellow discs OF confetti which lit
tered the church entrance and steps.
This month" he said, q have had
already 35 weddings in my church.
And at every one OF these weddings
paper confetti was thrown at the
bride instead OF rice.
The confetti fashion is very vel.
come 10 us sections When rice was
used our churches we're oyerrun with
mice. The saying, AS poor as a
church mouse, was then meaningless.
Why I'm my church, where weddings
are so popular, several hundreds Of
mice-fat chaps they were, too
found an ample food supply in the
rice that was sprinkled over the
brides.
Now that rice has been aban.
doned for paper confetti, these mice
have all disappeared. They were
starved out. They couldn't live on
paper"
Bending with difficulty to collect a
few obstinate pieces Of the bright pa.
per confetti that stuck TO the floor,
the old sexton added:
"Of course, these bits Of paper are
much more awkward for me to sweep
up than rice But even so, hope the
confetti fashion has come to stay"
