Tin mil THE CORRESPONDENTS I;
One Interesting phase of tjie ruaoy 1
phases of the political situation is that
developed by the championship of Taft
by Mr' Roosevelt. There is do man in
public life ux'ay in Washington who
has won the personal respect and ad
miration of the special newspaocr cor- i
respondents as Secretary Taft, says one i
of them. This statement is made with- i
out qualification. Most of these men
have seen administrations and public
officials come and go. f hev have no
reverence for the mere officeholder, and i
however inaccurate their judgments
may be on other matters, there is pro
bably no body of men quicker to de- ,
tec; the sham and poseur or more mer
ciless in the ridicule, which, though it ,
may not always Sad its way Into print,
is passed about In common talk.
Secretary Taft has won the respect of 1
these men, not by any cheap b:d for
favor, bat by his frankness and manli
ness. Those who have had an oppor
tunity to see him behind the scenes
have had no disilluslonments. They
have found a conscientious, frank acd
outspoken public servant, trying to (To
his duty, and loyally and uncom
plainingly accepting criticism re
ally due to the acts of others
in the administration. It is doubtful if
any man for years past has won such a
warm personal regard.
On the other hind Mr. Roosevelt,
because of his blunt, direct methods,
is probably the most unpopular presi
dent among these correspondents that
ever occupied the White house. Where
these believe, as many do, that
the president is unng federal patron
ace 10 further Taft's interest, a situa
tion is presented that is bitterly un
pleasant. They are willing enough to
take a t>lam at the president but they
do hate to have it reflect upon Taft.

There seems to be an impression io
political circles in the United States
an impression due doubtless to the fact
thu this is a presidential year, thatCan
adians are deeply Interested in the
question of who nhail be selected to
tight on behalf of the respective politi
cal parties for the honor of presiding
ov*r the destinies of a great nation.
We are interested but only in an ab
stract sense.
With this uninterested introduction
the Victoria Times devotes two soli I
columns to an e?fort to prove that
William J. Bryan is "the greatest of
preseotday Americana.' The Times nays
the only thing against him, Bryan, is
bis past. To be sure ? bat a man's
future can never rise up against him.
ORCHARD LANDS OF L0N6 ABO
By James Whitman Riley.
The orchard lands of long ago!
O drowsy winds, awake and blow
The snowy blossoms buJk to me.
And all the Duds that used to be!
Blow b&cic again the grassy ways
Of truant feet and lift the haze
Ot happy Summer from the tre?3 '
That trail their tresses in ths seis
Of grain that float and overflow
The orchard lands of long ago!
Blow back the melody that slips
In lazy laughter from the lipe
That marvel much that any kiss
Is sweeter than the apple is.
Blow back the twitter of the birds;
The lisp, the thrills, and the words
Of merriment that found the shine
Of Summer time a glorious wine
That drenched the leaves that loved it
so
Io orchard lands of long ago.
O Memory! alight and sing
Where rosy-bellied plppina cling,
And golden sunsets glint and gleam
As in that old Arabian dream ?
The fruits of that enchanted tree
The glad Aladdin robbed for me!
And drowsy winds, awake and fan
My blood as when it overran
A heart, ripe es the apple grow,
In orchard lands of long ago!
A rain that followed the blizzird la
New York is estimated to have saved
that city 1200,000. The blizzard filled i
the streets with snow which the rain
removed. ]
The jokers are now everywhere In
quiring if anybody heard the Cannon
boom.
And, speaking of the inventor being
still busy at the old stand, a Washing
ton spiritualist declares he has a ma*
shine whereby the medium will no
longer be necessary whereby to com
municate with thoee who hare gone be
Fore. The machine is placcd in position
md the spirits do the rest. It is not
itited whether or not the machine will
bear watching.

THE LAND OF OPHIR.
Where Was It ? In Mathonaland, South
Arabia or India?
One of the most interesting and lm- 1
portant ques4ious concerning Biblical
sites perpetually Invites research' and
persistently evades solutiou. "Where
Is the land of Ophir?" Dr. KnrI Pe
ters at a public meeting In Berlin de
clared emphatically that this famous
Biblical region Is located between the
Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. He told
his German audience how he has dis
covered many shafts of ancient gold I
mines, 500 temples, fortifications and j
other ruins of- Phoenician origin. Dr.
Peters* affirms that coins unearthed in
Mashonaland belong undoubtedly to
the time of King Solomon. Ills opin
ion is that no other part of Africa
could have exported the iVory. silver I
and-preclous stones which are record- [
ed In the Bible as coming from Ophlr.
Against this theory, founded as It
undoubtedly is on very plausible evi
dence, Bible .students are still likely
to maintain, on the testimony of Gene
sis x. 29, that Ophir was a section of I
South Arabia. Here down to the time |
of Ezeklel the Phoenicians still laud
ed to procure gold and gems with |
which those famous sailors nnd mer
chants of the ancient wt>rld traded in |
many countries distant from their Syri
an shores.
Many erudite writers have attempt- J
ed to identify Sofala, on the east coast ?
of Africa, with Ophlr, while yet oth
ers have located It In India. One of ]
the most learned essays written on the
subject Is from the pen of Professor ,
Hommel, who argued that the ancient
land of gold was Arabia Felix? Horn- j

A Frog's Rescue.
A correspondent of the Madras Mail
writes: "My son, aged ten qnd one-half
years, was working In the garden when
a viper about two feet long glided
past him. A good shot with a stone
about the size of a cricket ball broke
the reptile's spine, while a sharp edg*
of the granite cut open the belly,
thereby restoring to freedom a frog,
which hopped out of its prison un
hurt"

cnlr an Infant of three months, caught the
Cuban Itch from one of my neighbor's babies.

tom o( his .feet. He
would Itch and claw
himself and cry all

not sleep day or night.
I had to wheel htm in

I the while to keep him
still. He could not^

I can't begin to speak
I in words the suffering
] the poor child had to
? endure. I called ono
of our best doctors to
treat him, and he said
he had the Cuban
Itch, and his treat
ment did not do any
good. He seemed to
get worse. He suf
fered so terribly that
my ihusband said ho
believed he would
have to die. 1 had
"""* almost given up nopo
when a lady friend told tne to trv tho Cuticura
Remedies. She said she cured ner little girl's
ear. which was nearly eaten up with the
eczema, I got a cako of Cutlcura Soap and
one box Cuticura Ointment, and I washed
him all over with the Cuticura Soap and
applied the Cuticura Ointment and ho at once
fell Into a Sleep, and ho slept with easo for
the first timo since two months. When he
awoke I applied It again, and It gave him
much case, and after three applications tho
?ores began to dry up and Improvement began
to show, and In a few days the hide from tho
bottom of his feet and inside of his hands
began to peel off. I only used one cake Cuti
cura Soap and one box Cuticura Ointment to
complete the cure of the dreadful disease, and
In Just two week* from tho day X commenced
to use the Cuticura Remedies my baby was
entirely well. The treatment only cost mo
75c., and I would have gladly paid SI 00 if I
could not have got It any cheaper. I feel safe
In saying that tho Cuticura Kcmedies saved
