Commoner" could accomplish that
straddle when his political experience
was still in its infancy 1t would be no
feat at all for Mr.. Roosevelt TO stand
on two platforms in the maturity OF his
political career.
Such a course, it is urged, would
avert the possibility Of La Toilette or
Cummlns or any other political IN
FAINT from acquiring the political capital
which Mr. Roosevelt accumulated
through his independent candidacy Of
wear ago. and the naming of identical
Presidential electors by both parties

and have found II bitter. Many have
fallen in battle and are no longer a

Are they, therefore, likely to place
questions of personal vengeance above

which Mr.. Roosevelt's friends are
asking, and not only do they answer
it themselves with an emphatic mega
tive, but they maintain that their
negative finds echoes in surprising
quarters.

WEATHERED A REAL STORM
Captain Of Ocean Steamer Reports
Being Very Close to the Center
Of Terrific Hurricane.

What Is believed to be new
barometer record for the North At
lantic was rated few days ago by
Captain Richie of the steamship
Michigan; in 20 minutes the mercury
dropped four-tenths of an inch, get
ting down to 27.15, which is lower than
during the recent great typhoons in
the Pacific. The storm reached it's
height the next day, when the Michi-
gan was In latitude SOL and longi-
tude 33. Many ships have told lately
Of waves mountain high, but that
shows that the storm was not first
class. Captain Richie reports the
real thing as described in tales of sea
adventure, the wind blowing so hard
and steady that the ocean was as fiat
as the floor of a ballroom. Every
wave that tried to lift its head was
swept away in mass of spume, and
the air was so full of flying water that
vision was impossible. For sixteen
hours the engines were stopped, the
ship careening so far to port that she
could not be steered. Then the hurri
cane, the center of which must have
passed very close, moderated, and the
mountainous waves began, but 1t may
be noted that the Michigan was much
| less battered than many ships which
encountered bigger seas and lesi
wind; wind alone does much less dam
age to a steamer than to a sailing
ship, with it's spider web of spars ant

EACH MAN OWNS STREET CAR
Public conveyances Are Not De-
pended Upon in Mombasa-Draft
Animals Unknown.

There are no horses or draft ami
mails in Mombasa; the fly is too dead
ly. Therefore all hauling is done by
hand. The tiny tracks Of the unique
street car system run everywhere
any one would wish to go, branching
off even into private grounds and to
the very front doors of bungalows far
out of town. Each resident owns his
own street car, just as elsewhere man
has his own carriage. There are, Of
course, public cars also, each with its
pair of boys to push 1t, and also q
number of rather decrepit rickshaws.
AS asnatural corollary to the passen-
ger traffic, the freighting also is hand
led by the blacks on large, fiat trucks
with short guiding poles. These men
are quite naked save for small loin
cloth; are beautifully shaped and
glisten all over from the perspiration
shining in the sun. So fine the tex
ture of their skins, the softness of
their color, so ripping the play Of
muscles, that this shining perspiration
is like a beautiful polish. They push
them behind, slowly and steadily and
patiently and unwaveringly, the most
tremendous loads of the heaviest
stuffs. When the hill becomes too
steep for them they turn their
backs against the truck, and by plac.
ing one foot behind the other, few
inches at a time, they edge their bur-
den up the slope.-Stewart Edward
White, in Harper's Magazine.

$4,000 Is Recovered
Messenger Arrested

Jesup, April 10 The missing
$4,000 package of money, which
was stolen from the Southern Ex-
press company en- route from
Brunswick to Atlanta, has been
recovered and j. B. Stringer the
man who took it, is injail.

work on the case since being noti-
fed of the theft, this morning ar

runs between Jesup md Bruins.
wick, j. B. Stringer, charging him
with the robbery. Stringer corr
fessed and told the sheriff where
he had hidden the money by the
railroad near the city water tower.
PUTS CAUSE AS DRUNK.
He is a boy % years old has a
good appearance and states that
this is his first offense. Stringer
states that he started to drinking
little about a month ago and on
Wednesday night was drunk. AT
ter leaving Brunswick he thought
of taking the money and says he
did not have sense enough to re-
sist the temptation being drunk.
He says that he had no accompiices
and that substituting newspaper
for the money, was his own idea.
After arriving in Jesup he pro-
cured a glass jar and went out and
buried the money. Stringer says
that he was sober enough to realize
the gravity of his action and de-
cided to return the money. He lays
his downfall to evil companions
and learning to drink whisky.
WAVES PRELIMINARY
When first seen by newspaper
man he begged that his name be
kept out of the papers, but when
told that his name had already
been published he consented to
talk. Stringer waived the pre-
llminary hearing ard demanded
an Indictment by the grand jury.
His bond has been fixed at 5000,
which he is utable to give. The
case probably will be tried in the
superior court here next week.
