Political situations seem to remain
about the same, the primaries so far
indicating the nomination of Taft on
the first ballot unless the leaders Of
the party fear to exercise their power:
while the strength of Clark is greater
than at first supposed. 1t would not
be surprising if Taft and Clark were
both nominated on the first ballot.

A man who was caught in the act
OF skinning a neighbours sheep, COW
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live.
The logic of this is equaled by that
of the Yankee soldier who once had q
narrow, escape from an enraged gam
der. The men of certain Maine regi-
ment, which was in the enemy's coun-
try in 1862. considered the order mo

for hardship. One afternoon about
dusk, soldier was seen beating a
rapid retreat from the rear of farm
house near by, closely pursued by a
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
ground, and from whose beak issued a
succession of angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the cries
OF the gander's owner: Hold on.
man, hold on! He won't hurt you,"
Call of your gander! Call him off,"
shouted the fleeing soldier. Neither
man nor gander stopped until inside
the camplines, when the soldiers
friends relieved him of his fierce pur-
suer with the aid of the butt of a
musket. did that gander think he
could chase me like that and live!"
the soldier exclaimed. as he surveyed
the outstretched bird; but he said
nothing of the baited hook, with cod
line attached, which might have
thrown light on the unfortunate gam
der's actions.

He was on his way to Fayetteville.
where he intended to spend the night,
and perhaps q day or two in looking

at any rate she was bringing her
visit to an end. for Ferris had in
structed him to reserve place for
her In the north-bound stage on the
morrow.
Darlington suddenly remembered
that he had thought Of starting north
in the morning himself.

There were hasty words of advice
from Ferris, prolonged good-bys to
Judith, eafs-kisses-whiie a place

she Was going north to Washington;
that her final destination was some
point either on the Ohio or Missis-
sippi, and that her name was Betty.
Then the door slammed and the stage
was in motion again.
All through the morning they swung
forward in the heat and dust and
glare, and at midday ratified into the
shaded main street of sleepy village
and drew up before the tavern where
dinner was waiting them.
