Washington. D. c., May 21.-If all
The bull moosers in this country feel
iust the same about It as does one of
their representatives, in congress, Viii
liam II. Hinebaugh of Illinois, the
progressives and republicans never
will get together.
Since coming to Washington early
IN March, limbaugh has kept in the
limelight more than any other new
congressman. About the first thing
he did on arriving here was to orga-
niEe the bull moose party in the house
and get Victor Murdoch to stand as
the new party's candidate for the
Speakership. Then he dickered with
Underwood for recognition of the pro-
gressivCs in the house.
Now he IS busy making most en-
phatic statements to the effect that
nobody wants fusion of the bull moose
and the G. o. p. except the republi-
cans themselves. lie says the evils
lamentod by the Chicago progressive
republicans prove the need of a third
party. He invites all the progressive
republicans into the bull moose camp
1T Is not for a moment to be pre-,
sumed," says Hinebaugh in a recent
statement. that the old time stand
pat men who believe their position is
The only correct one will eliminate
themselves in a convention called and
controlled by themselves"
Hinebaugh is a lawyer, was a judge
In Illinois. is 46 years old and says he

The ideal carriage horse is the
American trotting bred horse, with
size, speed, courage, and the true
trotting gait, with plenty of knee and
hook action. In addition he must
have clean cut head and neck, style
and finish, plenty of substance with
out coarSeness.
Recognizing the demand for this
class of horses, selected Taylor Sim
mons 2348e, young horse which fills
all the requirements of the typical
! carriage horse. If the theory that
like begets like be true, he will
produce horses of this type when
mated with good mares. Through his
veins flow the blood of the greatest
trotting families. He traces twice to
George Wilkes and five times to Man,
brine Chief ii. This is backed by the
stout thoroughbred blood of Boston.

THE ADVENTURES OF MISS GREGORY: By
Perciral Gibbon. New York-G. p. Putnam's
Sons. Price, SIS.
| Miss Gregory knocks about the world,
and, wherever she goes, she is In the
| thick Of things. At one time 1t is a
| NihiIist plot which fascinates her; at
| another time, plague-stricken commun-
| ity calls her. She is in Africa when the
SLAYER is secretly plying his trade. and
again, in wicked Beira- Wherever she
1 goes she attracts adventure.
| The book which recounts her extraor-
| binary experiences is full of graphic
pictures of men and women in widely
separated parts of the globe, and the
! characterization of these is as forceful
and impressive as the narrative in which
| they play a part Is swift in movement
and enthralling in theme.
