the vindictive Meldrum had harbored
a grudge against Bowen, and this sit

to kill Bowen under guise of official

natured, popular fellow, who didn't
even pack a knife. and he was the last
man on earth to pick a quarrel or

Getting the Hebrew lawyer, Bran

bench may not, after all, prove to be
as difficult for the President as for the
Republicans to coax Justice Hughes
off it by the tender o ia nomination for

seem a willing aspirant, and he is
wise. "a bird in the hand is worth
two in a BUSH"
A statement is going the rounds Of
the press to the effect that Colonel
Roosevelt recently suggested tina.
Pr esident Wilson is afraid of two
things, me and the Kaiser" About
the only fear President Wilson has
concerning Mr.. Roosevelt is the doubi
surrounding the l~atter's nomination by
the national Republican convention
The notes sent by the President Il
Berlin, from time to time, shows
whether he is afraid Of the Kaiser d
stands for the honor ana Q1gn1ty o
