Progressives With Republicans.

One thing is certain, there is little
or no progressive sentiment through
out the middle west. The bull moosers
-are back in the ranks of the republi-
can party. their only demand being
that a republican with progressive
leanings be nominated at its national
convention.
Eighteen states will hold presiden-
tial primaries between March and June
of next year. and when some of these
states speak fair estimate may be
had of what the convention probably
Will do Now all is chaotic. These

Recognize Presidents Strength.
The republicans of the middle west
do not underestimate the strength of
President Wilson. but they believe that
with a protective tariff as their slogan
they can elect a President next year
who will restore confidence to the
farming. manufacturing and mining
interests of the nation and start the
wheels of industry once more to run

He worked at etching on copper, but
the coppersmith refused to let him

those already bought Senefelder then
tried to utilize the old plates by rubbing
off the etchings with a soft limestone.
At last the copper became useless
through many rubbings, and he tried

not work very well. One day, while he

stone with printing ink prepared from
wax, soap and lamp black, intending to
copy it at his leisure.
A few days later, when he was about
to wipe out the writing from the stone,
he thought he would learn what would

pared ink on the stone, if it should be

These neckclotns were succeeded by
small cambria bands. but the former
did not entirely go out until the mid
die of the eighteenth century. Then a
broad silk ribbon, tied in large bow

was followed by a white cambria stock
buckled in the back, and by muslin
cravats which were tied in front by an
immense bow.
In the early years of the last cen

to be worn, and the cravat was passed
twice around the collar and tied in a
fanciful bow in front.
About 1920 cravats were made very

Insect Metal Borers.

TT HE.voracious and destructive habits
of the white ants of the tropics
are widely known. Metal is almost the
only substance that they are unable to
destroy. There is an insect, however,
and it is not necessary to go to the
tropics to find it-that can bore
through metal as easily as the white
ant can bore through wood.
Any one can hear this insect buzzing
in the pine woods in midsummer or per-
haps see the fash of it's yellow wings.
Sirex gigas is its formidable scientific
name, but we know it simply as the
horn-tailed wasp. This wasp bores into
the tree In various places with it's long
tail. and in eacn hole leaves an egg.
The ensuing larva, white. six-legged
grub, htted with powerful Jaws. takes
up the work of boring into the wood,
and as 1t advances closes the passage
behind it with the sawdust. If unin-
terrupted, the larva continues boring
deeper and deeper into the tree, and
since it is. of course, growing all the
time, it makes a larger and larger pas
sage.
After about two years it makes its
cocoon of silk in the burrow. Then
after the pupal skin is cast off, the
winged insect breaks through its
cocoon. Immediately. with feverish
haste, it begins boring toward liberty
Finally it reaches the bark of the tree
and then the open air.
1t is often the case that during the
larval period the tree in which the
horn-tailed wasp is burrowing may be
felled. sawed into planks and used in
building operations. Sometimes, for
some particular purpose, the timber
may be incased in a metal sheathing
That does not disturb the wasp at all
When its time comes 1T applies itself
with energy to it's task and soon bores
hole through which it can escape.
Holes made by these insects have
been found in tin roofs, and in the min,
steel plates of which the wasps had
perforated. Some extraordinary cases
of their activity were brought to the

SUBJECTS FAIL RULER
ON WAY TO CORONATION
Emperor's Progress to Kioto Is Made
Occasion for Special Demonstra-
ton Of Loyalty.

NAGOYA, Japan, November Z. Sum
day.-The emperor, attended by the
whole court. who passed last night at
the Nagoya palace on his way TO
Kfoto for the ceremonies of coronation,
left Nagoya this morning and received
an enthusiastic and impressive greet
ing from the people.
The city was in brilliant festive garb.
The streets were decorated with festoons
of flags and lanterns and garlands Of
flowers. The imperial sanctuary was
followed to the railway station by the
carriage of the emperor and those of
the princes and princesses of the blood
and other members of the retinue.
The imperial train conveying the
court departed amid the strains of the
national anthem played by a military
band and shouts of "banzaf from the
populace. The emperor was greeted
with wild enthusiasm at every stopping
place along the route to Kioto.
Leave Rice Fields to Worship.
KIOTO, Japan, November Sunday.
The progress of Emperor YoshthIto
from Toxic to Nagoya, the first stage of
his journey to Kioto for the coronation
ceremonies, was marked by remark
able display of national loyalty. In
every city and town through which the
ruler passed the entire population as
sembled at the railway stations, and
in the adjacent highways, paying hon.
age to the emperor and bowling low In
worship to the Kashikodokoro or divine
mirror, which represents the spirit of
the grand imperial ancestress or sun
goddess, Amaterasu Omikami, and
which is part Of the imperial sane
tuary.
In the rice land the peasants. aban-
doning the mattocks, led their children
along the railroad and worshiped the
sanctuary. Everywhere the horizon
was black with school children, grown
people and troops, mounted and on
foot. AS the emperor entered Nagoya
at dusk the ancient castle burst into
bewildering illumination visible from
afar.
Kioto is an enchanting fairyland.
There is a mammoth electric monu
ment at the railway station and the
long wide avenue leading from the sta
ton is dazzling with electric garlands.
The narrow side streets are a mass of
yellow and red paper lanterns, while
huge pillars of light guard the city
here and there like giant modern
samurai. The emperor is expected to
arrive here Sunday afternoon.

The Gar and the Tailor.

A MUSING circumstances attended the
~ ordering of military uniform by
the Car Of Russia from little Jewish
tailor in the Crimea. The car wished
to wear the uniform of the Crimean
dragons at a fete, but did not have
one with him.. He noticed, however.
that the colonel of the regiment wore
a uniform that fitted beautifully. and
learned that the name of his tailor
was Khaim Kurichkess.
There was still time to have uni
form made. and the car commanded
that the tailor be brought to him.
When a handsome motor car stopped
outside the Kirichkess door there was
surprise and alarm in the household.
and nine children. A cloaked officer
descended and said in staccato SEN
fences to the amazed tailor:
You must come with me! Don't be
frightened. You will know later where
I'm taking you. You'll be away for
several days. I can't leave without
you; we've lost much time already.
Get dressed quickly"
Kurichkess obeyed. He was driven
to a house where general OF gen
knowledge of his antecedents. cross
examined him as to his identity. He
was assured that he need not be
alarmed: he would be provided with a
lodging and the next day he would be
told what he had to do. He must not
try to escape, for he would be watched
The following morning colonel en-
tered his room and addressed him thus:
Great good fortune has fallen upon
you. His majesty the emperor wishes
you to make for him a uniform of the
Crimean dragons. I hope you won't
make a mess of it. I will take you at
once to the palace, where you will be
admitted to the cars study to see his
majesty's figure"
When the excited tailor was ushered
into the royal study. the car looked
up from document he was reading
and said;
"Oh, you are here already. You are
you to make me a uniform of the
Crimean dragons. Do your best and
see that it is good fit"
When his work was finished and the
car was pleased with the fit, Kurich-
kess refused to accept anything in pay
ment, but the colonel insisted that, ac-
cOrding to law, he was obliged to re-
ceive so rubles for his expenses. More
over, the minister of the court was
aware that Kurichkess was in debt and
had ordered the officer to give the tai
lor an envelope containing 300 rubles
Kurichkess was driven home In a mo-
tor, and some days later an imperial
messenger brought to his shop a case
containing gold watch and chain.
The double eagle was engraved on the
watch. which also bore the inscription,
ITO Khaim Kurichkess. for zeal"
