Taft is Like Roosevelt in Ideals and McKinley in Harmonizing. (Wall Street Journal.) The best account of Secretary Taft that has yet appeared In print is that written by Dr. Lyman Abbott .In tpe last number of the Outlook. It ls, of course, an appreciation of Taft and ls highly eulogistic Never theless, lt gives a well-drawn, well shaded pen picture of the next Re publican candidate for President. Dr. Abbott says that: "Comparing him with other Presi dential candidates, ho appears to me to be as Independent ns Mr. Hughes. .ant1 to hare had a larger experience: possibly not so good a lawyer as Mr. Knox, but a better Judge; aa human us Mr. Cannon, and possessing ideals which Mr. Cannon disavows possess ing; as courteous as Mr. Fairbanks, ?with a power of action, and at times ?of splendid wrath, of which Mr. Fair banks has shown no sign; as truly radical as Mr. La Follette, but, un like Mr. La Follette, equally ?eter mlned to defend thom whether the assailant is democracy or plutocracy. To define him in a sentence-Mr. Taft l?j a great brain and a rtrcat .henrt In a great body." Dr. Abbott's most Interesting statement ls a quotation from Presi dent Roosevelt. Dr. Abbott had been . talking with tue President about Taft and the President sahl: He cnn get along with some mon thnt l can't got along with. We were together lu Harrison's administra tion. I was Civil Service Commis sioner; Taft was Solicitor General. I got on Harrison's ?ervos and when ever I came Into the room he set his lingers drumming on the desk bofore him* as though lt wero a piano. But Taft had no difficulty. And yet he .was always a man of highest Ideals. So Roosevelt gor. on Harrison's nerves, and whenever he caine Into the room whore Harrison wns ho af fected him so much that Harrison ?ought relief hy drumming on his .lc: u with his Angers as a man will when under extreme nervous tension. Roosevelt got or Harrison's nerves, not because he was a man of the highest Ideals, for Harrison was a man of Ideals himself. He got on Harrison's nerves because of his own nervous tensity. President Harrison ?Imsolf later described tue way that Roosevelt affected him by sa>lng thal Roosevelt was always wanting to re form everything between sunrise and sunset; and Harrison, with his legal And practical mind, wanted to do one Hiing at a time and in orderly fash ion Now, may it not be said that 'ros ident Roosevelt has "got on the nerves" of the business men of the .country, not because of his high ideals and great policies of reform, ?but because his mind has moved with greater Intensity and rapidity than tl<e averago business mind of tbe American people? Ho has sought to do too much at one timo; and his methods and language have set tho lingers of credit drumming on the .?'e^k of business. Now, it will he noticed thai Rooso xelt says that Taft, while always a minn of tho highest Ideals, had no .difficulty In getting along with Har rison. He did not ?et on Harrison's nerves, and, significantly enough Taft's presence ii. various grave emergencies of the country lu thu past eight years has tuner ...suited 3n Increased nervousn? ss or excite ment. He is like Roosevelt In Meals sind anns, but like McKinley In al li 1ty to promote harmony and good <wl??. RooseveM has been a splendid pioneer. n<> has cleared the ground <nn which Taft may build.

A long, hard fight resulted, citizens, soldiers and volunteers finally driving the at tackers back, about a dozen of the Indians being killed or mortally wounded. The other Indians fled, but many of thom were captured, and after being severely beaten with raw hides, ball and chains were placed about their legs and they were Im prisoned in an improvised stockade. Another engagement took place at Capo Oracias, near the border of Nic aragua and Spanish Honduras. Here the casualties among the troops were five, but the Mosquitoes were no more successful than before and fled to retreats in the mountains. Since then, Mr. Coffman said, many troops have boen sent Into the Mosquito district and several skir mishes have occurred. It ls reported that treachery and cunning have been used on both sides. Wherever a party of white men get a chance they generally kill the Indians with out mercy, and the Indians have slain several soldiers whom they caught along the forests. MEDICAL SOCIETY ADJOURNS.

One by one the gentle Shepherd gath ers lambs from every fold, Takes them to his loving bosom with a tenderness untold. He ls singing, sweetly singing, in the Paradise above, Where celestial courts are ringing with the melody of love; One by one the Saviour gathers earthly minstrels for his own. And our dear one joins the chorus of the angels round the throne. He is blooming, brightly blooming, mid the fairest flowers of light. In the garden of sweet Eden, where the flowers never blight. One by one the Father gathers choic est Howers, rich and rare, And transplants them in His garden; they v '1 bloom forever there. He is walting, ever walting, for the friends he loved the best, And he'll gladly hail their coming to the mansions of the blest. One by one the Lord will call us, as our labor here ls done, And as then we cross the river we may meet him, one by one. A Bereaved One.
