Pinchot and other progressive Republi-
can leaders are organizing a national
meeting at which the progressive Re-
publicans of the nation will be asked
to choose between Roosevelt and La
Toilette for the Republican nomina-
ton for president. The Pinchot plan
was divulged here today by letter to
J. S. Temple, Colorado progressive
Republican. The letter states that thc
plan has been agreed to by close
friends of Roosevelt and La Toilette.
The plan as set forth is for meet
ing OF progressive delegates to the MAJ
tional convention, to be held several
days before the convention, and there
determine whether Roosevelt or La
Toilette has the stronger support, and
to back the stronger of the two for the
nomination.
La Toilette and Roosevelt have said
nothing regarding this plan.
Pinchot leaders plan to pledge the
delegates to the conference to throw
their support at the national conven-
ton to the candidate upon whom the
prOgressives decide to pin their faith.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Cummins today formally announced
his candidacy for the Republican pres
idential nomination
Senator Cummins made his an
nouncement after conversing with the
members of the Iowa delegation which
met to consider the question of his
candidacy. All of the members of the
delegation from his state were present
with the exception of Senator Kenyon
and Rep. Kennedy, both of whom were
consulted before hand, and asked if
they would support the Iowa senator.
Senator CCmmins' statement fol-
lows: 80 much has been published in
the newspapers, so much written and
said to me concerning the presidential
matter that feel it to he my duty to
make the Republicans of Iowa a plain
statement on the subject. Upon my re-
turn from the last session OF congress
gave out to the press my opinion
with regard to the presidency. That
opinion is unaltered The situation,
however, has materially changed, and
it now seems proba BILE that more than
two candidates for the nomination will
be seriously considered by the nation
al convention. Under these conditions,
if the Republicans OF Iowa believe that
am a fit man to be presented to the
national convention for the presiden-
tial nomination. and they desire so to
present me, will appreciate and ac.
cept their confidence as most crafty
ing evidence of their continued faith
in my purpose to serve as best l can
the general welfare of the people"

foregoing statement said, Il have moth.

is not surprising. The fact that he has
conducted a fearless and fair news

mitigate against him in any kind OF a

sufficient, the upper and neither fac

HOW LOUIS NAPOLEON ESCAPED
In the Disguise of Workman Passed
 the Guard at Fortress of Ham

From le Journal des Debats.
 In discussing the origin of Louis Ma poleon's nickname of "Badnguet' some details were given incidentally of his escape from the fortress of Ham in northern France on May 25 1Si6. Fuller details are now available, thanks to the researches of M. Thirria, and in view of the escape of Captain Lux they have a special interest at the present moment.
 It seems that the sole credit for the escape must lie with Louis Napoleon him. self. He made his valet, Thelin, buy a black wig, some rouge, cap which was scrubbed with pumice stone, and a pair of sabots. Then he cut off his moustaehe, put on q blue apron, a blue pair of trousers and a close fitting shirt of coarse stuff.
 Some workinen were carrying out some repairs to that part of the fortress where the prince lodged and this gave color to his disguise, much so that the two watchmen entertained no suspicious regarding the man who walked past them and out at the great gate, pipe in his mouth and plank on his shoulder. The sergeant on duty at the drawbridge was reading letter as he passed and took no notice of him. It was then five o'clock n the morning.

 BlRMINGHANlJ
 Published by Tine Christian Science Pub
 fishing Society. Boston.
 When Mary Baker Eddy. the discovercr and founder Of Christian Science and au- thor of the Christian Science text book, Science and Health With Key 10 the Scriptures" passed away, it was predic-- ed by a few that the Christian Science church, which had reached it's greatest in- i'uence, would by reason of her absence decline as rapidly as it had risen vet with her passing appeared in the press throughout the entire world such genuine tributes of praise of her life and work, Tn special articles and in editorials, that the very reverse of this prediction was found to be the fact. So genuine were these eN- pressions of appreciation of the life work of Mrs. Eddy that excerpts from d large number of them were printed for some weeks in the current issues of the ChrS- tian Science publications, and requests were so numeroush that these excerpts have now been issued in book form. One writer says, There is q story of a eer- tain old world philosopher who, when it was asked of him. What constitutes schev ement' answered, 'To he able to reply yes, every evening, to yourself, when you ask. Have 1 done good to any one today?" II would be difficult to find q more practical and efficacious test of ,ne value of a mans life work. and it woull be impossible to find any one to whom 1t could be more fearessly applied than Mrs. Eddy Her whole life, even before she discovered Christian Science. constituted an expression of an intense tenderness for suffering humanity and as the years add ed themselves to years and she learned more and more of divine life, truth and love, she came 10 fulfill absolutely the eN- holtation of Paul to the church of Colosse Walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleas ing, being fruitful in every good worlI and increasing in the knowledge of God Building in this way for God and not roi herself. she built on sure foundations The Christian Science church, which in the brief space of A years has literally folded itself around the globe. ais in this way founded upon rock, the .rock of divine service.
 While few of the editorial writers lay claim to a personal knowledge of Airs Eddy, or indeed any personal knowledge of her Teachings, they concede almost without exception that Mrs Eddy was q wonderful woman and that she achieved a remarkable work.

THE ADOPTION DANCE
Curious Ceremonial of Taking a Child
 Into a Shawnee Tribe

From the Red Man.
 The auoption dance is one of the cerc- monial dances of the Shawnee This is quite different from any one of the festive dances They come many miles around and camp; their faces are painted and their persons decorated with beads
 They dance all day and night without eating. bonfire is built in the cent ar of ,Ie camp and they dance around this. The fire is kept burning about the same all the time. This serves also as their light.
 The adoption dance is rather quiet, more so than the other dances. The women do most of the singing and sing very low. They dance around the circle in twos. Tho men dance together in front and the wo- men together in the rear.
 The two leaLers in front are usually the ones who are adopting the child They carry tin pails; in these are rubber balls, which bounce and keep the time with the drummer. This is all the music they have to dance by. If large crowd Is as- sembled they may have two or three drums.
 At these dances good order is kept. No drunkenness is allowed. The dance is in grove and if anyone does not behave de- gently they tie him to a tree for the rest of the dance. After the dance they have a great feast which lasts all day, and vis- itors and all others who attend the dance are invited to partake of the feast.
