Illinois Serious Blow to Taft.

Washington, April 11.-Nothing that
has occurred In the present campaign
has aroused the interest manifested In
the possible effects of the Illinois pr.
maries ON the presidential trend In both
parties.
1t Is agreed that the Roosevelt boom
has gained considerable Roadway
through the big majority in Illinois. 1t
Is acknowledged even by Taft support.
ers that If the colonel shows anything
like the strength In Pennsylvania next
Saturday that he did In Illinois the sit
uation will be very serious for the pres
ident.
Republicans generally in Washington
| were inclined to regard the Illinois pri.
maries as a serious blow to President
Taft.
The presidents managers, however,
declared that the Illinois primaries will
have no effect on the final result in the
Chicago convention.
Reports received here indicate that
the presidents supporters swept the
st. Louis city primaries, which viii
give them six delegates to the national
convention and probably q controlling
voice In the Missouri state convention.

Taft Force Win In Vermont.

Burlington, Vt, April 1.-THE pro-
position of the Roosevelt leaders in
the Republican state convention held
at Montpelier that the four delegates
at large be split between Taft and
the colonel were rejected by the ad-
mlnistration forces with the result
that the slate went through and, al
though the delegates are unlnstructed.
it Is believed that the adoption Of
resolutions indorsing the administra
ton of President Taft means that it
Is the Will of the Republican party of
Vermont that its four delegates at
large vote for the president.
The first test of strength came Oh
the vote to adopt the resolutions. Sew
eral calls were made for a ballot. A
viva yoce vote was taken. 1t was
close. but Senator Dillingham;, the
chairman, ruled that the notion was
carried. The Roosevelt forces, after
making a hard fight. accepted their
defeat In good part.
1t was reported that two Of the car
dldates for delegates at large, United
States Senator G. s. Page of Hyde
Park and j. L. Lewis of North Troy
had agreed to accept Roosevelt in
structlons In case they were chosen
delegates and hat was the sense of
the convention. They were elected
without opposition.

Sneezing as an Omen.

The only attention we pay to a
sneeze at the present day Is to IN
deavor to get rid Of the chill which
causes 1t; but a sneeze In the days Of
old Greece was a matter of great con.
cern and import.
There was then q god OF sneezlng,
and great undertakings would even
be abandoned If a man sneezed at an
inappropriate moment, the act being
looked upon as the oracle of the god.
A sneeze between midnight and
noon was looked upon as a fortunate
sign. but between noon and midnight
1t ~betokened great misfortune. To
sneeze to your right was lucky: to
the left unlucky. Two or four sneezes
We're lucky. one or three very I'M
lucky and any undertaking In hand
should If possible be abandoned; more
than four sueezes did not count.
There is a saying IN many parts Of
England today: Once a wish, twice
a kiss, three times a letter, four times
something better" If people sneezed
together 1t was a good sign, particu-
larry II they happened to be discuss
ing business.

A young lady living in a small city
had impaired her health by too confn-
ing work in a city office. Her ply
stefan ordered her to a sanitarium for
rest and upbuilding. and when she re-
turned to work he instructed her to
eat four fresh laid eggs daily; two
eggs for breakfast and the others raw
in milk. Finding it difficult to obtain
dependably fresh eggs she persuaded
her mother to permit her having q
small flock In the home yard. A port
able house was purchased and fifteen
pullets installed in 1t. A small brother
was paid ten cents q week to feed and
care for the flock, two bags Of ready
mixed food were bought and the result
of the venture was not only all the
eggs the young lady needed and a sup
ply for the family, but there was a
surplus which found a ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing ten
cents a dozen above the market price.

PAINTER IN HIS OLD AGE
Retired Rear Admiral Wins Distino-
ton. With His Landscapes Done in
Water CoIors.

Rear Admiral Charles Henry Davis,
who retired from active service IN the
United States navy four years ago,
has t~hirCy-two paintings on exhibition
In the CorcOran Art gallery at Wash
ington, d. c., which is one of the fin
est public galleries In America and
one in which the knights of the pal
cite and brush consider it quite a tri-
umph to have their pictures exhibited.
To a singular genius he has added
palnstaking industry, and has pushed
himself up into an enviable place
among the best landscape painters In
water colors in this country.
At a time in life when he was sup
posed to have finished his mission,
and to be allowed to go back and sit
down In a corner and be very still.
the old hero of the Civil war and
Spanish-AmeriCan war appears as vir-
lie in his intellect as he was at thirty,
and has become a master Of art, rev.
cling in a realm Of beauty, and trans
ferring the beauty from his own soul
to canvas, to delight and bless his fell
lows. What a beautiful example this
grizzled old veteran and this delicate
artist set to old men who think there
is nothing left for them to do.-The
Christian Herald.
