TILLMAN LIKES TAFT. The Senator Says Bryan Could Beat Most Any Republcan. "If we must have another republi can president I am in favor of Wil liam H. Taft," said Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina says a dispatch from Cincinnatti. "Taft is honest, capable, and is of large enough mental calibre to administer the job. I like him personally and believe he would make an excellent president for a republican. "He has a much stronger individu ality than has appeared so far, and should he occupy the chair he would be su'-e enought president. My iten erary covers a?wide territory, and to every place I go I find a distinct, sentiment favorable to his candidacy. "But William J. Bryan may be the democratic nominee again, and the fact that he is quite as honest, capa ble and intellectual as Mr. Taft should not be lost sight of by the country. Bryan will give any repub lican standard bearer a fierce battle and I think he would beat several of them; particularly if the republicans named Fairbanks, I would look for Bryan to go in with a sweep." VERY SAD CASE. A Demented Woman Hang Six Chil dren and Herself. Grief-stricken by the receipt of a notification that her services would not be required after the end of the month, Mrs. Neilson, a hoousekeeper for a land-owner named Ullkjaer, of Jutland, Holland, Wednesday hanged three of her employers' children as well as three of her own, and then killed herself by hanging.

During the recent Congressional campaign in Ohio a political spell binder thought he had hit upon a very catchy illustration of a point he wished to make, and one eveniug held up before the audience a cocoa nut in its original husk. . "This, my friends, represents the political strata of America," he said t "This outer husk, which I now strip off, Is not without value, of course, but not what you are after That represents the good-intentioned but ill-advised minor parties. This next?this hard, worthless shell hollow, that represents our oppo nents. We must break it up friends, and come to the meat of of our uation. This represents our party." With a blow of a hammer, he smashed the shell. "You're right, old man, it'i rotten" a man nearby shouted as the rancid kernel fell from the dismayed spellbinder's hands. Men Who Are Held Responsible When It Falls Short in Its Work. At the Cleaning Establishment. "Tonnerre! Vat sat you say?" "I said I want Fido dry-clsaned. He just hates water."?Harper's Ba zar. Impartial Criticism. A well-known salesman entered a West End conservatory the other afternoon, on business. A girl' was playing a piano In an adjoining room. Suddenly she began Men delsohn's "Spring Song," and the teacher conversing with the sales man paused to listen. "Can't you stop that noise until I explain this to you?" broke In the man of business, who seemed to bo a privileged character. "That girl will he a great musi cian some day," replied the unrnffled teacher. "She Is naturally talented. Just listen." "I don't agree with you," snapped the salesman. "She plays too fast and too loud. Who is she?" "Your daughter," returned the teacher. The Plea of Tears. A country lawyer in Kentucky of a very emotional character under took the defense of an automobillst who had the misfortune to run over and old man near Lexington. The case looked bad for his client, but the lawyer worked himself into a state of pathos in a tedious appeal for acquittal, and shed tears freely. "What Is Bill Sawyer crying ,about?" asked a newcomer of a friend. "Crying? Why, he's crying be cause the case is so bad that he has no other way of pleading."?Auto mobile Magazine. New Views of Nero. During a recitation in history in a Baltimore public school, the teacher once put the question: "Who was Nero?" "I don't know exactly, Ma'am," said the pupil addressed, a girl of ten. "But I think he's the one they sings about in Sunday school." "In Sunday school!" repeated the teacher, unable to recall any religi ous music having Nero as Its theme. "What do you mean?" "Don't you know the hymn, Ma'am?" asked the girl, surprised. "It'? Nero, My God, to Thee.' " When a locomotive is built it is expected to make a> certain mileage before it receives a general overhaul ing When that overhauling is done it. is a^aiii required to make a dt:i niie rai'eage. A modern passenger locomotive is expected, says the Ohio Magazine, to cover 100,000 miles between general "shoppings," intermediate repairs be ing made at the various roundhouses. Responsibility for failure of a loco motive to perform the work cut out 'or it is easily fixed by means of a system of records. The superintend ent of shops is responsible for all power cut out of service on the road and placed inside the shop grounds, and this responsibility does not end until the locomotive is ready for ser vice again. From the time that it is ready for service until It is ence more cut out for repairs in the shop the master mechanic shoulders the re sponsibility. When the locomotive is ready to leave the shops it is inspected jointly oy the shop inspector, under the sup erintendent of shops, and an inspector working under the master mechanic. Every workman who has any part whatever in the handling of the loco motive is respomiible to his immedi ate foreman, just as the foreman ia responsible to his superiors. In spite of the many intricate parts of a locomotive the company records show less-than ? one engine faiiure for every 16,000 miles. An "engine fail ure" is a delay of one minute or more to any train, provided it is caused by a. failure of the machinery of the loco motive. Each of the many locomotives of a big system?790 in one case?has a decided individuality in the eyes of the railroad. At headquarters Is known not only the cost of original construction, but the cost of labor and materials used in repairs ar.d the en tire expense of maintenance down to date. The labor of ever.- man who works ior even an hour upon a certain en gine, each mechanic reaording his labor upon a slip of paper known as a daily time certificate, which in turn ?8 certified to by his immediate fore man and forwarded to the general timekeeper. The records of the road enable the officials to show the exact cost of labor and material for each mile that a locomotive travels, or each ton hauled. In the case of collisions cr wrecks where the fault is not one of defec lve workmanship or material, the jocomotive may enter the general ihops for rebuilding, even though !t may not have completed the mileage issigned to it. and no responsibility attaches itself to those on whom it would otherwise fall. The locomotive b simply repaired and is allowed to :omplete the mileage originally as ilgned to it. When a locomotive is brought into he shops for work it is firiit stripped by the men who comprise what is known as the stripping gang. This gang immediately takes off such parts f the engine as are necessz.ry for the respective job. The parts to be repaired are cleaned in a vat and the work is then distrib ted among the various employes of he machine and blacksmith depart ments, each part when repaired to be eturned to the erecting s:.de of the hop, to be mounted again on the ocomotive by the date on which it is cheduled to go on the road. The dates are posted in a conspicuous place convenient to each repair gang. The Age of the Incubator. A well-known professor has s bright boy, who one day at the age of four appeared In his father's study clasping in his hands a forlorn-look ing little chicken, which had strayed from a neighboring Incubator. "Willie," said his father, "take that chicken back to its mother." "Ain't dot any mudder," answered Willie. "Well, then, take it back to its father," said the professor, deter mined to maintain bis authority. "Ain't dot anythin' but an old lamp." One Visit Enough. "Did you say you were going to the dentist's at 3 o'clock?" "Yes, but I've changed my mind. I'm not going." "Why not?" "I got my fill of him the last tlma I was there."?Clevedand Press. Dangerous Experimenting. Here is a curious little story aoout lr James Simpson, the man who m i'cduced the use of chloroform into surgery, and a peril which he escaped, us recorded by Lyon Piayfair. Simpson hen busy with his researches into the .subject of anaesthetics, called oie day of Playfair and asked if he had any thing new likely to produce anasthesia. Flayfair had just prepared a ? liquid which seemed worthy of trisl. Simp son, who knew no fear, prepared In stantly to test it on himself. This Playfair refused to allow until it had first been tried on rabbits. Two were procured and placed under the effects of the anaesthetic. Next, day Simp son proposed to try it on himself. "We might as weil see how the rabbits have fared," said Playfair. I'hey found both the animals dead. A Hint. A widow in half-mourning Doth by that sign confess That she is half a mind to ?Nay, It's up to you to guess. ?Puck. Feminine Intuition. "I'm sure Emily thinks her new dressmaker is no good." "Why do you say that?" "I asked for her address and she gave it to me without a moment's hesitation."?Brooklvn Life. Astral "Telegraphy." For any gentleman possessing a patent system to open up communica tion with the moon or other planets, says the London Globe, "he French Academy of Science offers a prize of ?4000. The amount seems trifling, considering the sums that are being offered for mere flying machines, but learned bodies do not possess the wealth of some newspaper proprie tors. The prize, it is gravely an nounced by the Academy, will he awarded in 1910 in the event of its being won. It should be added that the plamt Mars is barred, on the ground that communication with Mars is already established. American Rhodes Scholars.
