GOING THROUGH THE RAPIDS.


ness would be in her favor here. We
decided that the thing to do II she
got caught was to let her spin.
We embarked and padded a good
way back toward the middle of the
lake in order to get her headed
straight for the slide I have described.
In another moment we were in the
thick of it, and a mad five minutes
succeeded. AS soon as w hit the
slide our fear departed and we became
wildly exhilarated.
My only regret was that I could not
divide myself somehow so that part OF
me might stand IN the shore and
watch the little Blunderbuss take her
header down the slide. We got a bit
wet in the boil-up below, but scarcely
noticed it in our p~reoccupat1on with
the whirlpools that were to follow.
had laid out my course from above.
We gave the biggest whirlpool a wide
berth. but there were others. Sudden
ly one yawned right beside the boat,
a horrible black hole without any bot
tom to it. l could have leaned over
and dropped my hat into it. We look
ed at each other with a laugh and Won
dered casually If we were going In.
For a moment it raced along beside us.
then swept off to one side. l do not
know If it was luck OF hard padding
that saved us.
In the thickest of the turmoil we saw
a squirrel swimming for his life, his
| shoe button eyes almost starting out
of his head and his tiny paws making
a thousand revolutions a minute. He
looked at us as we swept by, and his
paws scratched vainly on the canvas
side of the Blunderbuss, but we were
too busy to lend any aid.
In another minute we were in the
quiet river again, laughing and joking
a little shakily with each other and
feeling intensely pleased with our
selves. 1t was a rather barren tri
umph, though, because I do not think
that any of the few we met who knew
the place ever really believed that w
had run it in the B~lunderbuss.

John d. Archibald today before the
senate inveztigating committee, in
which he reiterated the declaration
that he (RoosevelD knew nothing Of
the contribution by Archibald or the
Standard OIL company to the repub-
lican campaign fund Of 1904.
Roosevelt declared he did not for
one moment believe Mr.. Archbald's
testimony was truthful.
He charged Archibald with a
wicked assault upon dead man, and
added that during the many calls
Archibald made upon him while
president to urge him not to prose-
cute the Standard Oil company,
Archibald never referred to any con-
tributions in his campaign fund.
He concluded his statement with
the suggestion that the senate COM
mittee should make both Archibald
and Senator Penrose testify once
more concerning their relations

Says Former President Not Only

ASSOCldleu IRE ,.
Washington, d. c.. Aug. 23.-It
is believed here tonight that Theo-
dore Roosevelt will take the stand
within a few days before the senate
subcommittee invetigating the cam
paign expenditures to answer
charges made today by John d. Arch
bald that Roosevelt had knowledge
of the use of Standard Oil money in
his campaign Of 1904.
The statement made today by
Archibald makes a clear cut issue be-
tween him and Roosevelt.
According to members of the sub
committee, Archibald testified 10 his
understanding that Roosevelt knew
about and endorsed the Standard Oil
contributions that came through the
former treasurer, C. n. Bliss, of the
republican national committee, who
is dead.
Archibald also testified that George
B. Cortelyou, chairman of the COM
mi.tee, and later secretary to Roose-
veIt and also a member Of his cabi-
net, knew Of and sanctioned the
contributions.
The committee is divided tonight

Upon the arrival tomorrow of Sena-
tor Luke Lea of Tennessee, one Of
the absent democratic members of
the committee, it will be determined
whom to call and where the next
meeting of the committee will be
held.
Several members of the subcom-
mittee are in favor of transferring
the hearing to New York where
Roosevelt, Cortelyou, George w
Perkins and members Of the Stand
ard Oil company directors board
might testify.
Although Roosevelt has publicly
stated that it is absurd for him ito
testify, it is understood that he has
consented to take the stand if nee
essary.
The subcommittee is authorized
to continue the hearing after the
adjournment of congress, which is
expected to occur tomorrow

Washington. ID. c., Aug. 23-The
veterans of congress failed tonight
to recall another such tame end

None of the feyerish haste and
hustle usually characteristic of the
completion Of legislation Is apparent
tonight.
An agreement was reached tonigh
to dispose of all the general legisla-
tion tonight, leaving only the con
ference on the general deficiency bill
to be acted on tomorrow Both the
house and senate are in session to-
night.
The army bill was adopted in both
houses today with little debate. The
senate passed the general deficiency
bill after a short debate, and con-
ferees will adjust their differences
