On one occasion he was enjoying a
good cigar and was sending up ring

watching and admiring him asked to
be taught how.
*TU not do |t.” said Penny. "It co*t
me eight thousand four hundred and
twenty-three dollars and ninety cents
to learn how to blow ’em, and I'll not

He *atd afterward that he had fig

while learning and he had given the
correct amount.

Macon had a hog law thirty year*

given that the man whose business It
was to take up hogs found running
at large would start out on Ills rounds,

that Council would suspend the ordi

Here is a question for the postal

Recently an order was issued that

appear able to get along without die
tionaries. He writes:
It is said that in England the lexicon
is almost unknown in private houses,
usage fixing the pronunciation and in
stinct the spelling of words, while with
us our English discoverers (they are
constantly discovering us) note that
there Is always an unabridged diction
ary at hand to save u* from wrong
doing In such matters. In like manner
we put our faith in grammarians, and
say, "It is I” and "It is he," while the
English boldly say, "It is me” and “It Is
him,” having no grammar by them to
rebuke them In their solecism.
It might be urged that this is only
one manifestation of a general national
cleavage: that we Americans believe In
having our language between covers,
for the same reason that we believe in
having written constitutions. There
may be something In this theory, yet It
cannot be followed out consistently.
For example, submission to a consti
tution is a voluntary act. We made it
ourselves, and we are not likely to let
any one forget it *Sut submission to a
dictionary Is a peculiar abject sort of
servitude. No. dictionary ever begins
its preface, “We, the people of the
United States, In order to form a more
perfect language, etc.” The diction

is dubious. Yet, on the “consent of the

If the card had been taken out of
the envelope one cent would have

prevented It from coming without an
envelope, the stamp that would have
brought it was put on the envelope,
and the envelope was unsealed.
Therefore, If one cent would have
brought the card, and that one cent
was put on the envelope that enclosed
it, was the card- subject to letter pos-
tage? While it is true there was a
written message on it, the one cent
would have brought it unenclosed if

SYRACUSE. N. Y., April 28—Former
Mayor James K. McGuire, of this city,
recently declared he could not support
W. R. Hearst any longer, because Mr.
Hearst Is not a Democrat, but that ho
was for Mr. Bryan strong, because Mr.
Bryan Is for .the initiative and referen
dum. The Herald asked Mr. Hearst to
comment upon the statement and today
received a reply. Mr. Hearst says in
part:
“I am not a candidate for any of
fice whatever, so there would be no
opportunity for Mayor McGuire to fa
vor me with his valued support, even
if he were in complete agreement with
my principles and purposes. Then
again. Mayor McGuire may be quite
right In his assumption that I am not
a Democrat. I am a firm believer In
the principle which Jefferson enunci
ated, in the principles which Lincoln
revived, interpreted and exemplified. I
believe absolutely, not only in Jeffer
son’s theory of equal rights for all, and
special privileges to none, but in its
practical application to every phase of
public policy. I believe in Jefferson’s
government for -the greatest good for
the greatest number, and of Lincoln’s
government of the people, by the peo
ple, for the people. I would have been
a Democrat In Jefferson’s day, and a
Territories. It was figured from that Republican in Lincoln’s day. but wheth
map that that in Massachusetts one
person out of every 198 owned this
valuable work, in New York one out of j
every 245, and in Colorado one out of j
every 235. while even Indian Territory,
the lowest on the list, had a set to
every 2.444. A good many States had
the equivalent of a set to every tiniest
village, nearly all the equivalent of a
set in every fair-sized county seat.
er I can properly be classified as Dem
ocratic in the present days is a matter
which I admit is subject to legitimate
doubt
"In conclusion let me say .that In
my opinion there Is no question about
the value of the initiative and referen
dum. and let me add I have advocated
the same measures for many years and
what is more to the point we have sue
ceeded in Los Angeles, where I have a
newspaper, in putting them into such
Standing at the Wadley monument

Third street through the rows of
shade trees now beginning to show
their beauty, a citizen said yesterday:
“Now if there was only a walk right
between those trees, from Mulberry to
Poplar, wouldn't it be splendid? A
walk made of brick, cement or even
gravel, about ten or twelve feet wide
would make a promenade that would
be crowded those hot summer nights,
and even in day time it would be used
because of its shade. Such a walk
wouldn’t cos: much, and it would add
a whole lot to the beauty of the park,
to say nothing of providing the people
with a beautiful promenade.”

PRESIDENCY 10 ST!0
COLUMBUS. O.. April 27.—That Wm.
H. Taft, Secretary of War, is in the
canvass for the Republican nomination
for President o stay. Is, In effect, the
announcement made tonight by A. L
Vorys, State Commissioner~*6f Insur
ance, who is managing the Taft can-
ass In Ohio.
Mr. Vorys went to Cincinnati' today
and hnd a eonferencs there with Sec
retary Taft, at which Mr. Vorys out
lined what had already been done to
ward promoting the Secretary’s candi
dacy and gaye his views on the senti
ment of the people of Ohio regarding
it. Mr. Vorys returned to Columbus
Taking a penny and laying It over
his eye. the hard-o'-henring man said:
“See that! Well, in nine eases out
of ten. that’s what keeps some of tho
suburbanites from wanting to be an
nexed to the city. They don't want
to pay their part of the taxes. If
you’ll give ’em water and lights nnd
fire protection and police nnd all th.it
sort of thing and not make ’em pay
taxes, then they’d be willing to come
Into the city. They'd rather draw wa
ter out of the well Into which dead
cats or anything else can get in:
they’d rather risk typhoid fever and all
sorts of sickness by not having sew
ers: they’d rather run the chanco of
houses being burned up; they’d rather
pay more for Insurance on what little
they can get; they'd rather do without
policeman keeping watch on their
homes while they slept; they'd rather
alk on the dark streets, and would
rather deprive themselves of lots of
benefits and comforts than to pay the
little tax If they should be annexed.
“Their homes in the best part of
the section that should come in, will
average, on the tax books, about ono
thousand dollars each. The. city tax
on this would be twelve dollars and
a half, or a fraction over a dollar a
month. And just think of what they
would get for this dollar a month!
"If they want water or lights In
their homes they are at the mercy of
these two companies. They have, no
city contract to keep the price from
going way up: they must pay what
the companies say they must pay. or
they must do without.”
“Did you know this pigeon-raising
business Is getting to be a big thing?”
said the hard-o‘-hear!ng man.
“Walter Chapman and his son Ar
thur are perhaps the biggest raisers,
and then comes Uncle Bcyt Jones and
Capt. J. F. Oliver.
“The Chapman pigeonry Is located
nut there beyond Cross Keys wlierj
they have a little parlor farm. They
started with a cigar box full of pig
eons and a handful of Bob Price can
taloupe seed, and now they have a
little place that some of these days
will make as much money ns a moving
picture show.
“Unde Peyt Jones doesn’t know
why he started to falsing pigeons. Ho
didn't care to start It to make mon> y
out of ’em. but just to have something
to piddle with; but the pigeons kept
on a growing and increasing until
now they are about to get away with
him. He sells the overplus of squabs
and now he has about got back all
the money he paid out In getting
started.
