Alr. Taft, this author says "A few
words from Mr.. Taft on his own can
didacy and that of his rival, and the
issue would be joined. AS the man
on horseback, Mr.. Roosevelt looms an
imposing figure TO some excited mag
nations; but as a candidate openly
hunting delegates. resorting to the
same devices that any other man
whose ambition is the White House
Mr.. Roosevelt is merely the politician

A WISE BILL,

State Senator Leon Locke is
preparing an amendment to the
State Constitution, which he will
submit to the next session of the
Legislature. He would have the
general assembly convene for a
period of thirty days every year
instead of sixty days every two
years, as at present. He would
nave the session held in even
years devote themselves entirely
to introducing. discussing and
amending bills to be passed at the
sessions held in odd years. He
would have all bills offered in the
even year sessions published dur
ing the interval between sessions.
and copies distributed. Commit
tees would be allowed to meet
during this interval and submit
amendments to bills on final pas
sage III the odd-year sessions. but
no amendment would be consid-
eied unless presented sixty days
before the odd-year session should

in the United States, Prof. Irving

tured into a new and untrod field
Of statistics.
He has declared the cash value
OF last years baby crop to be not
less than 7,000,0O0,O0O. Many
parents will query these figures,
as it is certain that some of the
individual babies (among the
100000 babies, more or less that
came into the world in this coun-
try last year, could not be bought
from their parents. any one of
them, for anything like that sum.

40 years old. He is a minister's
son and a graduate of Yale. He
studied in Berlin and Paris and

A SMILE COUNTS.

Everyone likes to see a smiling
face and to smile sympathetic
condition Of mind. The face
wreathed in smiles is like per-
petual sunshine in a house. be-
comingly one must cultivate a
cheerful and it is irresistible and
conquers all hearts. A smiling
mouth loses half its charms if the
eyes do not correspond; for the
eyes are the windows of the soul,
and the smile that lies only about
the lips soon dies away, leaving
an Indifferent spirit to survey and
chill the world. Cultivate the
art Of smiling not with your lips,
but with your eyes. Everyone
can have laughing eyes. They
are not a matter of inheritance
nor can they be acquired with the
aid Of the masseuse and the pro-
fessional beauty specialist. Love
is great transformer. The
sternest features may be softened.
