FULTON OF OREGON CALLS CRITIC
BY VICTOR RosEWATER.

Convention Hall, Chicago, June 4.
The steadying OF the Hughes posi-
ton with the incoming delegations,
bringing first hand information, has
been the feature Of an otherwise un-
exciting Sunday. 1t is plain that the
first ballot showing for Hughes will
not disclose his whole initial strength,
because quite "a few uninstructed
delegates, who are heart and soul for
Hughes, have complimentary obliga-
tions they want to discharge and the
result is likely to indicate a wider
scattering than has been counted on.
Center to Rally On.
The real advantage scored today
comes Though the arrival of the
out-and-out Hughes delegates giving
tangible rallying point. This is
particularly true with respect to the
Whitman end Of the New York dele
cation, headed by the governor him
self, who is ready to take leading
part in the organization OF the
Hughes forces.
or course, the other candidates
quarters have also had occasions, and
the activity has been quickened in
the several Roosevelt camps. | saw
William Loeb, jr., looking over the
rooms engaged for the Roosevelt
committee, and Clifford Pinchot and
Governor Hiram Johnson and other
distinguished bull moosers are here
making themselves busy.

the colonel's name, exclaimed
YOU'D better send for him right

Roadway with their general so far
Off" t. =.
Whether that is the correct reason
or not, it seems to describe the stu
alton correctly viewed from that side
Of the field.
By tomorrow night the delegates
will be almost TO man on Che ground
and the curtain rung up for the pre-
Jude
Fulton Expresses Views.
Former Senator Charles W. Fulton,
who is a member of the Oregon dele
CATION to the convention said
Criticism Of the part taken by
Frank Hitchcock in reference 10 the
movement for the nomination for JUS
tice Hughes, are entirely uncalled for
and unjusitified. Mr.. Hitchcock like
many other patriotic men in other
parts of the country, has been and is
endeavoring to secure the nomination
OF a typecal American citizen of posi-
tive type, whose standing and record
commend him to the American people
as a whole for the presidency.
This movement is not confined to
any particular section Of the country,
through the efforts of Mr. Hitchcock
and others. has been crystalized and is
now of sufficient magnitude and
cohesion to justify the conclusion that
Justice Hughes will be nominated
very early in the balloting. There is
ITO jealousy among the supporters OF
Justice Hughes, and the majority OF
them recognize that an attempt is
being made to pound Justice Hughes
over the shoulders OF Mr., Hitchcock.

Beetles Garry
Three Hundred
Times Weight

What animal is the strongest?
Every boy will say the elephant
and few girls will say the boys are
wrong. The elephants and horse
are pretty strong animals, but
many little insects can carry much
more than the big animals can.
DO you know how much the
water-beetle you often see In pools
and troughs can carry? 1t has
been found that the beetle can
carry IL ounces. The beetle weighs
only II grains This proves the
beetle can carry on its back 800
times its own weight. No boy,
man, horse or elephant can do that.
If boy weighing 80 pounds
could carry the same weight in
proportion to the beetle he would
be able to carry load Of 1874
tons. If mule weighing 800
pounds could carry 300 times its
own weight, it would be able to
carry 1870 tons. No mule can do
that. So the waterbury in proper
ton to its weight is 800 times as
strong as a mule.
The flea is the champion long
distance jumper. No one has been
able to measure the exact distance
it can cover, but it is known to be
more than 100 times it's length.
Jumping straight up, the flea can
go 300 times its length. If boy
four feet tall could jump like flea,
he would cover a city block In one
jump.
SO you see the animals have
their athletics just as does the
human race.

Little Sister
Sets on Eggs

Daddy came home with his hat
full of eggs. He told mother he
wanted to raise some fine chickens
for the poultry show. He paid
three dollars for a dozen eggs
Mother asked, how will you get
them Matched? He said, I'm go
ing to give them to Dolly. She's a
good motherly hen l think she
will raise them all right.
Then he fixed a nest in one OF
the boxes in the hen house and put
Dolly over the eggs. but she
wouldn't stay there. He caught
her again and fed and gave he1
some water, then took her back to
the nest, but she wouldn't set on
the eggs. After he had put her on
two or three times, he said the
eggs would be spoiled if he couldn' I
get a hen to set on them.
My little sister Susie heard what
Daddy said, but we did not notice
that she was listening. At dinner
mother told me to call Susie in to
dinner. | went out and looked ev'
erywhere but could not find her
Daddy and Mother were afraid she
might have fallen in the fish pond
They hunted everywhere and then
they heard Susie calling from the
hen house. She had climbed into
the box with the eggs and spread
out her short skirt to keep the
eggs warm.
She called out joyfully. Daddy,
III keep the eggs warm. Daddy
lifted her out and the eggs were all
broken. Her shoes and stockings
and skirt were covered with the
yellow yolk Daddy laughed until
he cried and after that we all called
her Dolly hen.

EaglesLiveLong

1t has been tradition for many
centuries that the eagle renews its
strength when very old. . 1t mounts
aloft until it comes very near the
sun, when, scorched by the heat it
throws itself into the sea, whence
it comes out renewed
There is no truth in this belief.
Eagles keep their strength until
very old age, but they do not re-
new their strength. An eagle was
shot in Denmark few months ago
that had small chain with the
inscription. Caught and again
made free by N. and c. Andersen
in the year 1892"

Vain New Hat
Draws Rebuke
From Old Felt

A brand new straw hat had made
it's appearance on the hat rack. 1t
was proud as peacock, and pOked
fun at the old felt hats and cloth
caps that were hanging on other
hooks.
You boys are behind the times,
began the smart arrival. THE mas
ter will never put you on. He
bought me today after he had tried
half a dozen others. He liked me
best and said, was the best and
most stylish lid he had seen this
season"
Nobody said a word All the hats
and caps were thinking. For their
master had used the same words
when he bought them. Finally an
old hat, all out of shape, showing
that it had been bought many years
ago, replied:
Young man, you amuse me very
much You are just straw hat.
If master has you out in the rain
one time, he will throw you away.
If he has good luck, you will last
few months, but then nothing
will save you, for as soon as fall
comes, he will throw you into the
furnace. We are made of better
material. He wears me in summer
and winter, and if it rains he pre-
fers putting me on, for he knows |
will protect his head. We will be
hanging here months and months
after you have been reduced to
ashes"
The straw hat said nothing in
reply, for it was crushed. The
other hats felt sorry for the head
piece.

Find Adventure
In Big Ice Field

The opportunities for adventure
are not over. Just because the
greater part of the United States
is thickly settled is no reason for
believing that Uncle Sam does not
have possessions where you can
have all the adventures you want.
Alaska still offers plenty of adj
venture to the men who dare to go
there Recently a company Of men
left Seattle for a cannery on the
shore of Boring Sea. Their ship
was caught in a huge ice field,
forced upon the highest berg by
the pressure and left high and
dry fifteen feet in the air.
The men stayed on an island ,,n-
til the ice broke up little. Then
an old trapper dynamited the ice
pack so that the ship dropped back
into the water and was enabled to
proceed

Brothers Remark
Troubles Sister
Editor of Junior Palladium:

Editor of Junior Palladium:
Dear Sir: My most embarrassed
moment was yesterday morning
got up early and went down to
the railroad with bunch of my
girl chums to see the circus unload.
My little brother, Edwin, got up
a little later and came down with
my grandfather in the automobile.
When they came up beside where
my friends and were standing,
brother yelled out Frances, did
you clean your teeth this morning.
If you didn't, you want to as soon
as you get home SO that I can
collect my dime from Aunt Nettie. :"
All the, people around me laughed
and my friends will never get
through teasing me.
| have always neglected to clean
my teeth, and so my aunt has been
in the habit of giving Edwin a
dime week to see that | clean
them every morning.
He sure has done a good job and
! am going to tell Aunt Nettie that
I will not have to be reminded
about washing them any more.
I'll get even with Edwin by hav-
ing his weekly income shut off.

Robins. FeastinS

The robins and other birds are
having the times of their life this
week. Cherries are beginning to
get ripe, This means a big feast.
You can see Mr.. Robin sitting on
limb of a cherry tree these days,
with his head cooked to one side,
looking for some nice fine ripe
cherry. Then he pecks into it. Few
owners of cherry trees object to
the visits of birds, for they know
that the birds eat thousands of in
sects and worms that would de-
stroy the trees. For this reason
they let the birds have all the
cherries they want.

Pup Receives
Collar as Gift;
Finds Purse

You all know that pups like to
carry away things II they see an
old shoe or a stocking, they grab it
and try to tear it TO pieces. A bull
terrier pup. owned by little girl
in Indianapolis, is very full of life
and mischief. ..
Recently he began to bring home
old shoes and cans from rubbish
heaps.
Then he brought bag of rolls,
and later he came home spattered
with milk, having tried to bring a
bottle of milk, and spilled it.
After that he came home with
lady's handbag containing $3.50,
some visiting cards and autCno-
bile veil. The cards we're these
of a well-knOwn Indianapolis wom-
an. The handbag and money were
returned to her. She explained that
she had lost 1t out of her auto
mobile. She rewarded the dog by
buying him a new collar as a re-
ward for his honesty in taking 1t
home to the little girl. Few pups
have such good luck.

Horses Are Not
Jealous of Cars

Two old horses met at the drink.
ing fountain at Main and North
Ninth street the other day. Great
big auto trucks, automobiles and
electrics were rushing by, as the
old horses were drinking.
1T beats all how fast those autos
go, doesn't it," said old Dobbin,
as he shook his head after long
drink of cool water.
Yes" said Barney, they can go
faster than we can, or any race
horse, but ! am not jealous"
Why" asked Dobbin, ut seems
to me that they are driving us
out of work and soon there will be
no horses left on the streets"
Old Barney, who is one Of the
wisest horses in Richmond, gave
him a horse laugh before he
answered.
Are you so foolish that you can
not see that the heavy trucks do
all the heavy hauling we would be
compelled to pull if it were not for
them? Years ago, after a days
work, we would be compelled to
pull the family carriage around
town, but now the family uses the
automobile. We are lucky"
Dobbin studied the answer a lit
tie while before he admitted that
Barney knew what he was talking
about.
Il guess you are right" said Dob
bin, I'VE are just like many boys
and girls, we are never satisfied
with what we have, and always find
reason to complain when there Is
no reason
Did I tell you about our old
friend Dick" continued Barney.
But he got no farther, for his mas
ter gave him the signal to move,
and all he could say was goodbye,

Find Berries
Under the Snow

A student of birds wondered how
the feathered friends we're able 10
obtain food between the disappear
ance of snow and the ripening Of
berries and fruits in northern Rus
STA. He noticed one spring that
hardly had the snow melted and
the trees and shrubs burst into
bloom before thousands of birds
were on the scene. How could they
live until tho berries became ripe.
The bird student found out that
when the berries were ripe and
fell off in fall, the first snow fell
soon afterwards. This blanket of
snow with the other snow that fell
made blanket that preserved the
berries on the ground. The next
spring when the sun melted the
snow, the birds found all the food
they needed on the ground

White Horses
Mean Nothing

Lucky" and "unlucky" are terms
that are applied to many things. A
sensible boy or girl pays no at
tention to them. Why say, lucky,
lucky, white horse?" What good
luck did a white horse ever bring
you? Do you know any man that
ever had luck because he tackled
q horseshoe on his fence post?
Why should it be unlucky to go
outside with your shoestrings un-
tied? II you stumble and break
your leg, it of course is an un-
lucky occurrence Some say it Is
lucky to find spider on your
clothes. Others believe if your
teeth grow widely apart you will
be a traveller; If you have a mole
on your back you will have money
by the sack.
