PRE IDEJi T WORSTS FOkAKER
One of the most important of the re
sults of the elections of this month was
the complete discomfiture of Senator
Foraker in Ohio, and the consequent
strengthening of the position of Presi
dent Roosevelt in that state and in the
nation. Senator Foraker in the midst
of the Ohio campaign .took up the cud
gels against the president and in more
than one speet h he attacked the pro
posed plan to regulate railroads or to
revise the tariff. In order tojintrench
himself in his position against the na
tional administration he made peace
with Boss Cos, of Cleveland. The
administration met Senator Foraker
fairly and joined issues with him. Sec
retary Taft, recognized as the spokes
man of President Roosevelt, openly at
tacked the Cox machine and advised
republicans to vote for the demo
cratic municipal, county and legisla
tive tickets in Cincinnati and Hamilton
county. To emphasize this point,
speaking to a southern audience, Pres
ident Roo evelt said itl was the duty of
every elector, irrespective of party
affiliations, to vote against a corrupt,
machine-made ticket, no matter
whether it bars the name of his party
or that of another.
The defeat of the repub'ican ticket
in Ohio, and of Boss Cox in Cincinnati
is charged by many in his party to the
attitude of Senator Foraker. They
demand that the state organization be
placed in the hands of supporters of the
administration. There is a movement
on the part of administration republi
cans throughout the state to induce
Secretary Taft to accept the du'y of
leading them in the battle with Senator
Foraker, who will have the assistance
of Senator Dick, Boss Cox, Gov. Her
rick, recently defeated for re-election,
and the minor state officers.
Richard A. McCurdv, p.-esident of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
has reduced his salary from $150,000 to
$75,000 per annum. About $75,000 has
bsen cut frjm the salaries of the re
mainder of the McCurdy family. That
will help som^, but it is suspected that
the reduction was made to assist the
McCurdy family hold the;r jobs rather
than for the benefit of the company's
policyholders.
Late r apers say Tammany will make |
no technical objection to a recount of;
the bal.ots cast at the recent New York
election on the mayoralty. Alton B.
Parker, Mayor McCleilan's attorney, '
stated to the court that all bis client'
desires is a fair count and that be will j
abide by the result whatever that
may be.

In n* ..rly every case where women and ]
men have thin brittle hair, they owe It j
to dandruff. There are hundreds of prep- i
a rations that "claim" to cure dandruff,
but not one but Newbro's Herplclde tells
you that dandruff Is the result of a germ
burrowing into the scalp, and that per
manent cure of dandruff and Its conse- j
auent falling and baldness, can only be
had by killing the germ; and there Is no
other preparation that will destroy that
germ but Newbro's Herplcide. "Destroy

SHE BUDOED
ON THE FOURTH
[Original.]
How pleascil I was to receive Mrs.
Clifford's Invitation to spend the
Fourth of July at the Clifford country
place. "We shall be very quiet," she
wrote. "You mustn't expect any gay
ety. There will he no one here ex
cept the members of our family. Sorry
I cant ha\ e a young lady for you, but
1 don't waut the trouble of one."
The Clifford children were Grace and
Charlie. When I hail iast seen them,
Grace was a sweet little girl seven or
eight years of age ? an ethereal child
whom an artist would choose for spir
Ituelle model purposes. Charlie was
three years younger. What luck for
me, this opportunity to turn my back
on the crackling, booming city and
spend the day with thU quiet family.
When 1 arrived? in time for dinner
on the evening of the 3d? I was re
minded how time Uies. Grace Clifford,
though she stili wore her dresses quite
short, was as tall as she was likely
to be. Charlie was nearly fifteen.
Grace seemed to have retained her
childish gentleness, and Charlie also
seemed a quiet, retiring boy, devot
ed, so his mother told mo, to books.
We dined undisturbed by the sound
of a single cracker, the children so
well behaved that neither of them
spoke during the meal. Indeed I, bo
ing a young man considerably uuuer
thirty, reuiemberiug that Grace must
be eighteen, felt inclined to have some
words with her, especially as she was
very pretty. But she maintained her
reserve in presence of the father and
mother at table and after dinuer. 1
saw her no more during the evening.
The next morning I was awakened
by the spiteful snap of a firecracker. I
turned over and slept again. 1 was
awakened by a second snap, this time
to stay awake. 1 felt under my pillow
for my watch and noted the time ? 5
o'clock. I had been told that breakfast
would be. at 9. Four hours' interval,
and I felt hungry. I must get unother
nap. I shut my eyelids and resolved
that I would sleep despite the daylight
streaming in at my window. I was
dozing off when there came another
crack? not a good rouud noise, but a
spiteful, malicious, malignant little
snap, not big enough to fully awaken
me, but to disturb the slumi?r into
which I was drifting. I continued to
keep my eyes closed tightly, hepiug to
fall asleep, but there came a su -cession
of cracks in monotonous regularity and
volume. 1 covered my ears with the
sheet and persevered. My efforts were
of no avail. The contemptible snaps
continued, aud at last i gave up, open
ed my eyes and looked at the window.
I saw a little brass cannou restiug on
the rail of the balcony on to which my
room opened. A hand projecting from
a coat sleeve, with a lighted ma eh, was
thrust forward to touch off the cannon,
but the flame was blown out by the
wind before it reached the veut. 1
waited and watched. Another match
was tried and failed. Then a bit of
lighted firecracker was tried, aud this
time the wrist of the hand tha: held it
wore a bracelet. I also heard a girl s
giggle. The cannon was tired.
It was still but half past o o'clock.
Should I endure this annoyance or
make an attempt to stop It? 1 got up
and, looking into the hall, saw the door
of a bedroom opposite standing open.
I want In, closed the door, threw myself
on the bed aud succeeded in gottiug a
few minutes' slumber before being
called. Meanwhile I presume the chil
dren kept on with their firing, suppos
ing they were annoying me. At break
fast Grace looked detuure enough for a
nunnery. I made no reference to my
discovery.
The children kept their crackers ex
ploding all the morning. If 1 went on
to the front piazza they ca'iue with
them there. If I went to the back
piazza they also changed for my new
position. We dined at 1 o'clock, and
after dinuer I sought the library for
a nap. I expected to hear more crack
ers, but I did not. I was dozing off
when an immense bee came tumbling
on to my nose. I made a frantic grasp
for It and failed. I settled myself
again, and again came the be^. This
time I saw that It was a bit of paper
hanging by a thread to a stick. 1 shut
my eyes and pretended to sleep. The
bee climbed all over my nose, but 1
paid no attention to It. Finally I
snored. Out of the corner of my eye
I saw Grace Clifford steal softly from
behind a screen with a plant sprayer
In her hand. Reaching forward, she
gave me Its contents. Almost before
the water reached me I sprang up,
seized her in my arms and eovcred her
face with kisses.
"Let me go or I'll call papa'" she
cried, struggling vigorously.
"Call as loud as you like."
"You're not a gentleman."
"Nor are you a lady."
"How dare you say that to me?"
"No lady would fl.-e a brass cannon
under a guest's window to keep him
awake."
She gave a spasmodic giggle.
"Or sting his nose with a bumble
bee."
Another giggle.
"Now, I've taken the kisses to pay
for keeping me awake for three hours
this morning, and I'm going to take
pay for the bumblebee."
I gave her half a dozen smacks.
"Now we'll settle for the spray."
I gave her a round dozen m >re and
opened my arms. She flew out of the
room like a bird.
"Poor Grace!" said Mrs. Clifford
when her daughter did not appear for
the fireworks prepared for the "chil
dren" In the evening. "She's gone to
bed with a headache. She's such a
delicate child."
Before the next Fourth the sensitive
child was my betrothed.
