A PLEA.

We wish to call attention to a
form Of cruelty which has now been
going on for some time.
During the summer months many
wives leave town and behind them,
without or care, their husbands, who
roam oyer the back yards, make
night hideous by their wailings and
subsist as best they can on the scraps
thrown out by roof gardens.
A husband who has been well fed
during the winter months and has
been accustomed to a certain amount
of luxury is suddenly thrust forth
into an unknown world,
So far as we have ascertained,
there seems to be no law that can
reach the m~iscreants, who are guilty
Of this unnatural cruelty. The most
that can be done is to make q gem
eral appeal to everybody.
Whenever you see starving hus-
band, with the corners worn off,
wandering about the streets, take
him in and give Ain a square meal.
The Lord will reward you.-Liie.

WOULD GIVE AID TO FALLEN
Chicago Judge Comes Forward With a
Really Practical Idea Of Needed
Philanthropy.

A Chicago judge suggests a new
duty for the courts. He says:
at is all right for people who do
not come in contact with these class
es to say hat there is plenty Of work
for the man hal wants it, but when
d man is down and out and has no
place to 60 he needs some one to
take an interest in him and get him
braced up again"
And then the court suggests that
some provision be made whereby it
may assist the unfortunate man
give him some assistance, although
the mar may be down and out and
hasn't a cent to pay a fee. For this
duty there should be, it suggests, an
attache Of the court to represent it
and the certain influence it may
carry in finding the man work. The
unfortunate man himself, under
such influence and care, might
spruce up, do his work well and
make something Of himself.

have no fear Of men, and as a result
are easy prey to hunters.

TREE APPEARS TO BLUSH
Seeming Wonder Of the Florida
swamps Really Has a Most
Simple Explanation.

Among the many wonders Of the
vast Florida swamps there is moth
ing more surprising than the blush
ing tree. 1t actually bushes when
the rain falls upon it. The mysterl-
GUS and beautiful glow of color
which it assumes in a rainstorm baf-
fes description. As the rain drench-
es a tree, gradually, yet unmistak-
ably, the green hue gives way to
pink. In a few minutes the green
fades from sight. Only in a few
h~aIf-hidden spots, beneath broad
branches and on the trunk, is there
a tinge of green to be seen. The tree
is as pink as the cheeks Of the healthy
girl. After an hour OF more, when
the shower is over, the tree assumes
its familiar green once more. AS it
is changing back the spectator sud-
denly realizes the secret Of the
phenomenon. Certain tiny insects
and not the tree itself change color.
These peculiar parasites are pos
sessed Of the power of chameleons.
In the bright warm sunshine they
are greener than the tree on which
they live, but when the chilly rain
falls upon them they contract their
tiny backs and become a pretty pink
in tint. Millions Of these change the
color of the tree and make it appear

gan to answer the charges of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and to use hot shot of his own. The president bluntly charged that Walter Brown of Toledo, one of the Roosevelt leaders, ceased to be a Taft supporter because the presi- dent refused to accept his recommend alton for judicial appointments. lie declared that the opposition to him by Dan Hanna of Cleveland was a con6e- quence of indictments against Mir. Hanna by the present department of justice.
 Accused Roosevelt of Unfairness.
 The presidents unusual bitterness toward I'M. Roosevelt was apparent from the first. He launched out i'm mediately into accusations of unfair ness by his predecessor which caught the fancy of his hearers and brought forth many bursts of cheering and handclapping.
 Brown and Hanna.
 In practically every one of fourteen speeches he made the president used an argument of particular interest to Ohio and the northern part of the state, bringing in continually the name of Dan R. Hanna of Cleveland and Walter Brown of Toledo, two leaders of the Roosevelt movement. The pres ident called MT. Brown the only boss now in active commission in the state" and charged that MT. Ham, with un- limited wealth." was allied with the special interests, but yet was recog- nized by MT. Roosevelt as a patriot, not Q boss.
 Chio's Only Boss. At Tidin late today the president said:
 My friends, Mir. Roosevelt has in trOduced the issue of the bosses. He says that l am the candidate of the bosses and he is against them all and they are all against him. You have right here in northern Ohio the only man who is in full commission as a boss, Walter Brown, of Toledo and he is backed by Dan Hanna, who is asso- ciated with ali the great interests in northern Ohio, and they own three newspapers. Now that makes fine collection, doesn't it? Three great metropolitan newspapers, a man with unlimited wealth associated with all the great special interests and a boss to represent them in politics.
 Roosevelt Calls Brown a Patriot.
 And yet Mir. Roosevelt says MT. Brown is a patriot and a progressive. am not attacking Mir. Roosevelt be- cause Mir Brown supports him. He is just like me and just like any other person in politics. He takes the sup i port of any man who comes to him, without asking him for a certificate of character fr9m the Young Mems asso- ciation"
 Aside from this incursion into Ohio politics MT. Tafts talks were of the same tenor as on previous days of the 1 present trip.
