Chicago, Nov. Ill have never been
indicted for being q radical except by
Joe Cannon, which indicates that | am
not quite so reactionary as he is said

Uncle Joe still lives, and is in Con-
gress, and long may he wave"
Mr.. Taft defended the principles OF
protection, and predicted the return to
power Of the Republicans at the next
national election.
Two former members of the Taft
Cabinet were guests of the Hamilton
Club. They were Jacob NJ. Dickinson,
who was Secretary of War. and Walter

will resume the questioning OF James
VI. Lynch Of the Labor Department ana
he will call all the commissioners as
well as the chief and supervising IN
spectors. From the tack that the DIS.
trict Attorney has suddenly switcnei

fire on the Labor Department.
He will try to-day 70 learn why

SKUNK GUEST OWNS HOTEL
Animal in Basement Cuts on Food
Supply.

Winsted, Conn, Nov. 1l.-For three
days a skunk reigned supreme in the
basement Of the Maplewood Hotel in
Ashley Falls, Mass. No one dared to
enter the cellar nor to set trap for
the intruder.
There were farm products and other
goods which were needed by the cook,
but the utility man baked when asked
TO get them.
Finally Fred Smith, the proprietor,
had a box trap made. and d hole was
cut in the floor, through which the
trap was lowered to the basement. The
skunk was captured.

what Russia did, was to spend the sum

method or paying the bills. This was
extremely difficult and the demoraliza-
