"Supporting the President"

Senator Thomas of Colorado makes great
display Of need for loyal support to the presi-
dent, predcating his appeal for votes for the DEM
ocrats, on utterances OF Theodore Roosevelt in
1898. Well, to 60 back to that time, we find ''Jim-
ham" Lewis and Champ Clark reading Amos
Cummings out of the democratic party because he
voted to give Mckinley funds to carry on the
war with Spain. Senator Thomas then candi-
date for governor of Colorado, WAS making his
campaign on a free silver platform, lauding
Bryan and criticizing the president. The Omaha
World-Herald was daily firing from behind at
Mckinley and his cabinet The next year, as
governor of Colorado, Senator Thomas de-
nounced the Philippine policy of the national
administration and made vigorous demand that
the Colorado troops be returned from the islands,
where they were on the firing line. These are
some of the reasons why it was necessary to
elect republicans to help Mckinley the war
with Spain and to put down the Aguinaldo in
surrection Where is there anything in that
situation to parallel the course of the republican
party in its attitude towards the war today?.

A Race Of cripples.

The military medical authorities

thousands. The results of this ex-
animation in many instances: writes
Bernard Macfadden, in Physical Gull
ture, have been as follows:
Out of every five examined one is
considered sound. The other four are
cripples. Some part of their internal
organisms is affected. The heart, stom-
ach. lungs, kidneys or some other vital
organ or function is crippled.
h For generations the blind have been

The physical body is of no special
Importance. The house in which we
live needs no special attention. It

Penalties Of Fame Are Debts Of All
Existence, With "Hioh Cost OF

The penalties Of fame are the penal
ties of all life, which, when one views
1t resolutely and without taking refuge
behind rose-colored spectacles, teens
with contradictions that give deeper
significance to that well-worn phrase,
''the high cost of living" And the
chief part of the expense lies not in
the things food, clothing, shelter
which are demanded by our material
and bodily needs as human animals.
writes Mary Garden in the New York
World.
Really to live as woman or as man
implies to want something or other
very greatly. And really to want some
thing very greatly means to strive for
that something with inappeasable
augerness. And thus to strive means

achievement and the realization that

others have been missed.

NO MILK FROM CHINESE cow
Bossy Of the FIowery Kingdom Yields
Only to offspring-Used Only for
Draft Purposes.

Americans who travel through the
interior of China greatly miss Cows
Milk and Her Butter" as Il Japanese
sign puts it. The people of the Orient
use little of either. Mares milk is sold
to invalids at a high price, because the
Chinese believe that it is source of
great bodily strength, says the Youths
Companion.
But the natives use cows solely for
draft purposes and, having earned her
living for years in this manner, bossy
stands upon her dignity when Ameri-
cans demand milk of her. To her off
spring she will give it. but not to man
if by any possibility she can avoid it..
In japan there are now few Am
erican-bred cattle, owned by foreign
ers, that make the native cows look
like goats. One Of these cows was i'm
ported into Korea by missionary, but
he had difficulty in getting his coolie
to tend the beast. The servant was
fresh from his country home, where he
had heard little and seen less. He
took the COW for an elephant and fled
before her.
In Korea the little native COW is
petted darling that has been INDUCED
to such an extent that, incredible as it
seems, she refuses to eat grass unless
it has been boiled. =
1t is not unusual in very cold wealth
er to see q pet COW clothed in thick,
warm blanket, while the children Of
the family SILVER in their cotton gar
ments-and often very few Of them.

ALGERIA's WINE CROP YIELD

The wine crop Of Algeria is distinctly

FEES NOISE LIKE WHISPER
!eedlelike Points OF Stiff Leaves
Scratching Upon Each Other Re
sponsible for Odd Chorus.

Henry Heinelle of Santa Monica,
Who two years ago sent biologists on
Il hike to the wllds of the Malibu by
reporting the discovery Of a nest of
dunes of singing sands, has again
| caused nature students to sit up and
take notice, according to the Los An
| geles Times.
This time he reports the discovery
of clump of whispering trees. The
find was made far up in Los Tunas
canyon, where the county surveyors
gang recently ran lines for q mountain
| road to connect the seashore via this
scenic canyon with the Topanga at its
junction with Garrapatas.
The mysterious trees are near the
BUTTON of the canyon, not far from
the Weber ranch. At this point the
wagon road is hung on the side Of the
canyon, far above the trickling stream.
Persons passing along the road at this
| point are invariably attracted by what
sounds to them as II somebody in the
underground We're talking in SUBJ
dued voice.
Shouts failing to bring response,
Mr.. Heinelle, after listening to the sup
posed whispered conversation, left the
trail and descended the precipitous
side Of the mountain, expecting to dis
| cover some hunter who had fallen and
injured himself. But there was no
evidence of life anywhere, although
the air was filed with indistinguish-
able whisperings.
The sound always came from the,
same general direction, and the will.
o'-the-wisp directed him to clump Of
scrubby trees, much in appearance like
the English holly-and then the mys
terry was solved. The needle-like points
of thousands of these stiff leaves.
swayed by the breeze blowing up the
canyon, scratching upon the surface
of other leaves was responsible for
the chorus.
The noise made by one leaf was so
slight that it could not be heard a foot
away, but the thousands grating con-
tinuously together kept the sound vi
brutions in such constant motion that
their sigh was heard above the ordi-
nary rustling of the leaves Of the chap
arral.
