The lhop-the-loop woman who was fatally shot while pouring a cup of tea, brings to mind the steeple-jack who was killed in December by slipping from a door step and striking the back of his head on the sidewalk. Some time ago when General Leonard Wood was ill, he was given leave to come home al most indefinitely for medical treatment. Now a surgeon is detailed to go out to meet him and take charge of him in Eu ropean sanatoriums. Chicago papers say that there is some talk of sending E. H. Harriman as a delegate to the Republican convention to be held there. Well, if Harriman gocs, there will be no danger of a split in the lparty-not with this professional merger present. "A man named Tack who was defeated for a, public office at Harrisburg, Pa., the other day, is reported to have abandoned politics in disgust. This is to the point all right," says the Scenectady Gazette. Probably got mad because he got stuck. Some autoists are continuing the work of making the motor car popular. In the vicinity of Brooklyn a car knocked down a woman and broke one of her legs; biut the two women in the nmachoie ro.se' to tihe occasion. laughed at the discolfiture of tlir victim, and kept on laugh in" ierril y unitil the car dis tanced tihe policeliman who chas ed it on a bicycle. It; has bee.n said often that Taft played the role of Cupid on his famous trip to the Philip pines; but he seems to have played all sorts of ai jo!ier. Say's a writer in the N. Y. Herald: ''The editor of the Hartford Ceurant, who was ant ant i-Taft man mun hel nuo iiale a trip1 to the Occident in comtpany~ with the secretary of war, is thorou~ghly convinced that every declegate fronm Connectient will vote for Taft. This edlitor has all th.. zeal of a new recruit.'' IHow sweetly a man must sleep) in the grave that he has left behmnd a name that sha'l endur: f0or y'ears in connection wvithi a "'yellow dog'' fund tha{ was~ ised by insurance conmra nies~ for the purposes Of bribery and corruiption! Such is th~e brand of fame wvon by theo late "Andy"' lHamilton, whose dea t Ih has removed one of the most conspicuous characters conn~eci edi with the recent insurance scandals. '"To live in hearts we leave behind, is not to die."' To' all travelers on that weT~ll known artery of connnerce, the "C. & G.,'" the followving para graph from the Anderson Mail is enthusiastically reconmm end ed: "H-ow would it do to allow the Southern railway to charge three I cents a mile to ride on Capt. Billy Smith's trains and two and a half cents a mile on all other trains? It Is surely worth an extra half a cent a mile to passe ngers to be t n-Iei Capt. Smith's care." Capt. Billy's passengers hope to -be riding on his trains for at least a half century more. Salmagundi. Taturns, a negro town of 600 inhabitants, in Carter county, Okla., doesn't sel! any town lots to whites or Indians. Taturns has colored preacher.. teachers, sawinillers, cotton ginners, mer chants, and some retired capital ists, all negroes.
