IN OHIO SENATORIAL FIGHT BURTON WINS

Brother of President Elect Withdraws From Race. Columbus, 0., Jan. I.—Theodore E. Burton will be the new Ohio senator. With startling suddenness the entire fight, one of the most interesting in years, came to aa end here. Charles P. Taft withdrew his candidacy, and his supporters decided to go to Burton’s aid. Immediately Senator Foraker also withdrew. Governor Harris, General Keifer and former Lieutenant Governor Harding, the minor candidates, followed suit promptly, leaving Burton alone in the field. This denouement, brought on, it is said, by President Elect Taft’s advice to his brother, makes Congressman Burton the assured victor and foreshadows Senator Dick’s defeat for reelection in 1911 ami a contest two years hence between Taft and Foraker for Dick's seat.

O’Connell’s Appointment Denied.

Rome, .Jan I.—The appointment of Bishop Dennis O'Connell, rector of the Catholic university at Washington, as coadjutor bishop of San Francisco, was officially denied at the Vatican.

Early Lambs Profitable.

Under favorable conditions there are many advantages in having the lambs come early. Early lambs can la* •cared for before the flock is turned ■out on the pasture. They cotne at a Beason when there Is ample time to give them life care they require When lambs cotitc so lute in the sea son tlrnl the dams are out on pasture the busy time has arrived, and there is danger that the il<w k may be neglected A Second advantage Is found in the fact that early lambs can lie pushed on <nd made ready for early markets. While it Is true that considerable grain is required to accomplish this, it is also true that, owing to the higher price obtained, the grain pays a good profit. Horse Notes. Remember that overfatnesa in a sirs may hide many defects. A* a rule, a horse broad in the forehead will be intelligent and kindBreed for a purpose. The average farmer should breed the draft horse. Feed Judiciously rather than plentifully. Many horses are fed Into a poor condition. After a day’s work clean the work horses thoroughly. Wash their legs from the knees down and rub dry. Breed preferably to a sire that U Kgularly worked on the farm or has seguiar road experience every day. The horses will get more benefit from their rest at noon if the harness te removed as soon as they get to the •table.

RHODIUS HAD SPECIAL TAILOR

Trousers Made to Hide Bow* legs, Is Testimony. KERN READS DEPOSITION Made by Squire Who Married Millionaire to Elma Dare—lt Recltps That at the Time of the Ceremony the Groom Appeared to Be a Contented Man—Prayer Meetings In Hotel Are Described—On Train Cards Were Played Three Hours. Greenfield, Ind., Jan. 1. —In the Rhodlus marriage annulment proceedings the reading of a deposition by Squire Sidney Shiloh Hollis occupied a large part of the court session. Hollis performed the ceremony that made Geo. Rhodtus and Elma Dare man and wife —or, maybe, did not. The squire said that during the ceremony Rhodtus looked like "a mighty happy man." The Revs. Messrs Clippinger, Cummins and Wolf told of prayer meetings held at the Circle Park hotel after the return of the runaway couple. John W Kern read the Hollis deposition. The squire told that Rhodius removed his hat, at his (the squire’s) request and stood up without assistance when requested. The woman did not aid him, he said.

Somebody In the crowd that watched the proceedings said: “Fine-look-ing couple,” according to the squire’s deposition. He gave the opfiiion that Rhodius was sane at the time of the marriage

Attorney Cass Connaway was placed on the stand as a witness for the defense. He was asked by Attorney Ryan to recite incidents of the trip from Louisville to New York. He and George played cards for two or three hours in the drawingroom on the train, he said, and George played fairly well. George became ill about 11 o’clock, complaining of a headache and saying he had eaten too much dinner He said be sat up and talked w-ith George until 1 o’clock or later and that Mrs Rhodius. saying she was worn out, took her berth

Edward Treat, tailor, testified that "Rhodius was unusually bowlegged, and had very small feet His shoes were too tight, 1 sometimes thought. His trousers were always made to conceal the bowleggedness as far as possible.”

Concrete Watering Places.

It is the opinion of a correspondent of the Country Gentleman tha| there is an excellent chance to combine utility and beauty in the erection of attractive and permanent watering places in village streets and along country roads. The old moss covered tub. half buried In a bank of ferns and wild flowers, presents a picturesque appearance no doubt, but in a short time the hoops of the tub

UTILITY AND BEAUTY COMBINED.

give way. the staves fall In, and a long interval may elaitee before the watering place is in commission. The first requisite is, of course, a supply of running water. Then a substantial stone foundation should be laid below the frost line—an iron supply pipe as well as a Uaste pipe being brought up through this foundation. On this foundation can be .erected as simple or as elaborate a design as one may desire.. A mold of rough boards can easily be set up for any rectangular shape, the boards being held in place by crosswise strips nailed to the upper edges. The boards tan be raised as the work goes on. -

man tracks. Notter rode the Keene horses to victory in many big stakes the past two years. He is without doubt one of the best Jockeys devel oped in recent 'years. At present he is riding in California. Plan Mexican Race Circuit. Propositions to race American horses in Mexico have been made recently to Colonel Matt J. Winn of Louisville, Ky.. who is president of the American Turf association. Within a few weeks Colonel Winn, accompanied by Algernon Daingerfield, secretary of the Eastern Jockey club, and Lyman Davis, secretary of the Louisville Jockey club, will go to Mexico to look over the field. If the plans develop as expected the work of establishing American racing in Mexico will continue, and the first season will open in Jan nary, 1010, with the running of the $25,000 Mexican Derby as the opening event.

It is proposed to have a circuit of five cities. Besides the City of Mexl co, it is practically certain that Monte rey and Juarez will be in this circuit. The Mexican government has agreed to give the jockey club $25,000 a year for ten years. It provides the ground on which the plant at the City of Mexico will be built and concedes the racing privileges for twenty years to the jockey club. •* Spreckels Quits Racing Game. Rudolph Spreckels, millionaire sugar, railroad, newspaper and general enterprise man, made good his threat to retire from racing by the sale recently In the Arcadia paddock. California, of his horses in training. The animals were sent to the Baldwin track in charge of Trainer W. Covington and were raced at the present meeting to give horsemen a line upon them. For years Rudolph Spreckels has raced under the title of the Sobra Vista stable. His breeding farm, stallions. mares, yearlings, stake engagements, etc., represent, an Investment of about $300,000. Everything will be sold out In due time. Among the horses sold were El Tremor. St Elmwood, Sap Alviso, Milpitas. Sachet, Dictator, I’rovendure and eleven year lings. The Spreckels horses in training were anything but top notchera.

Sweden May Hold Olympiad In 1912. James Lightbody, winner of the half mile nt the Athens Octuple games tn 1900, Is in Berlin In behalf of the German Athletic union endeavoring to ascertain the feeling as to the holding of the Olympic games in Berlin In 1912.

He told a correspondent recently that it was not probable the games would be held In Berlin. He thought It more likely that they would be held in Stockholm, where there ts less class spirit, especially among the army officers. in regard to sports. He also said that there was a greater willingness In Sweden to provide the necessary funds.

1908 Our Greatest Golf Season. The 1908 season of golf was the best known since the game.secured a foothold on this side of the water fifteen years ago Aside from the almost continuous string of open and Invitation tournaments this year, the various championships proved to be memorable affairs. The first of the national events, the open at Myopia the latter part of August, resulting in a tie between Fred McLeod and Will Braith at the end of the seventy-two boles of medal play, was a notable performance. ’ Michigan to Have Crow. The University of Michigan is to have a crew for the first time in its history. The city of Ann Arbor is building a new dam which will back up waters of the Huron river and give room for rowing. Plans for a boathouse along with a request for a coach and equipment for the 'boathouse, shells,' etc., will be submitted tb the board of regents at their next meeting.

UNCLE ELI’S ADVICE.

The Owl and the Peasant Who Made Fun of Him. THE DONKEY AND THE CANINE How They Camo to Grief at the Hands Their Master In Seeking to Prove Their Virtuee—Moral For a Good Man. I, [Copyright, 1908, by T. C. McClure.J ONE day at high noon the peasant discovered an owl perched In a tree aud asked him whether a small bird sitting directly toward the sun was a bluebird or a chickadee. The owl looked and blinked, aud looked again and finally admitted that he couldn’t be sure. Thereupon the peasant began making fun of bis vision and telling him that fie was no good and ended up by expressing his astonishment that nature should have wasted so much material. The owl felt humbled and humiliated, but bided his time until darkness came. Then he paid a visit to the peasant's cottage and called him out and said: “In flying around I have discovered a lost purse. Come with me and recover it.’’ The two proceeded along the highway for half a mile, and then the owl stopped and said: “Behold the purse.” “But where?” asked the peasant. “Only two or three yards from your feet.” “But it might as well be a mile away. It is so dark that I cannot see." Then the owl began to make fun of the man’s vision and ended up by ‘saying that nature must have been in a funny mood when she created a man that couldn’t see in the darkness. Moral.—ln criticising others we forget our own deficiencies.

The Am and the Dog. The Ass and the Dog had long been jealous of each other, and, finding themselves in company one day, the former began: “Did you hear our master praising me today for the heavy load I drew up the long bill?” “Yes. I heard him say a word or two, but you ought to have been around last night when I caught a rabbit.. I was really embarrassed by the praise bestowed.” "But you can’t draw even an empty cart.”

“And you can't tell a tramp from the family doctor.”

“I am twice the size you are.” “But I can run twice as fast as you cdn.”

“Bay, now,” remarked tbe Am, “What would the master do without me on market day?” “Oh, come off,” replied the Dog. “Who stays at home and guards the farm while he is gone to town?” “You know I drove the wolf away once.” “But what is that compared to the two thieves I chased for half a mile?” “Oh, well, this thing can be easily settled. I can bray louder and lot than you can bark.” “I deny it. Come on and see.” Thereupon the Ass began braying and the Dog barking, and tjie uproar soon became hideous. Aftef it had continued for a few minutes the master appeared with a club and laid qbont him with heavy and Impartial hand. "Alas!” cried the Donkey as he winced under the blows. “You have taught me to believe that you appreciated me.” "And , I was under tbe belief that you doted on me,” added the Dog. “Know ye.” replied the master as he paused for breath, “that while an Ass or a Dog in his place is a joy forever he has but to step out of it to render himself a nuisance.” Moral.—Man often comes to grief In seeking to prove his virtues. It is better to keep quiet and let others judge them.

The Wolves and the Goat. In feeding on the. hillside one day the Goat became careless and fell among the rocks and sustained mortal injuries. He lay there, gasping and suffering, when two Wolves came along, and the first cried out: “Ah, what have we here? The Goat has had a bad fall.” “It looks like it, indeed,” replied the other, “but let us go slow about it and make no mistake. It is my opinion that he has broken both his hind legs.” “And it is plain to me that he has broken both bjs fore legs.” “Ton must see that,l am right, and I further declare that if we can get the Goat home his life can be saved, I won’t warrant that his hind legs wIU be as good as ever, but he will be able to climb around fairly well.” “Your diagnosis of this case shows, what a fool you are. A blind man could see that it is bis fore legs and that nothing can be done In his case. I tell you it is hopeless.” "And I tell you it is not.” At that moment the Goat recovered consciousness, and. looking up at the Wolves, he appealed to them to do lomething for him. “But your fore legs are broken,” re plied one. i “But your hind legs are broken,” added the other. “Alas, It is neither my fore legs nor my hind ones.” replied the Goat, “but myuspine.” “But I must still insist”— ' ’ J “And «o must I.” < And while the squabble was being renewed the Goat died. As soon as

this fact was discovered the first Watt observed: ' ■ ■ “I am store my treatment wooM have saved him.” “And I know that mine would." added the second. "But since be is dead”“We will eat him;” ? Moral.—The lawyer and the doctor must always be paid. « The Bags and the Good Man. One day as the sage was looking for huckleberries on a chestnut tree and wondering why the biggest harvest apples always grew on the highest branches of the apple trees nearest to the house he was approached by a man who said: “Oh, sage, I have come to thee for a chunk of advice!" "Your name?” was asked. “Peter Jones." “Your avocation?” “That of a good man.” “How good are you?” “O sage, I have lived In this world for sixty years, and there is no man to say I have wronged a fellow man!" “That’s a pretty fair record, but what advice do you want?” “The people would have me to represent them in office. The question with me is, am I too good?” “Um! That’s a new one on me, but it’s not so very hard. Canst get a nomination?” "By acclamation. It is a dead sure thing.” "Then go in.” The good man went away feeling even gooder, but at the end of a few weeks he returned to wall out: “0 sage, but why didst thou give me such advicb! -1 thought your words

“SAGE, I HAVE COME TO THEE TOR A CHUNK, OF ADVICE.” were wise and followed them; but, alas, I am undone!” “You ran for office?” “I did.” “And then newspapers showed you up as a liar, a hypocrite, a knave and all else that is bad?” “Alas, they did!” “And you were snowed under?” “Buried under an avalanche. Why advise me as you did?” “Simply, my friend, to show you the difference between a man knowing himself through himself or through his fellow men.” M. QUAD.

Wanted His Money’s Worth.

“They charged ine $4 a day for the room I had at the hotel where I stopped lu the city,” says Uncle Hezekiah on his return. “But, then, you must have had a good time going around seeing the sights.” commented a listener. “Huh! I didn’t see a thing. How could I?” “Why couldn’t you?” “You don’t suppose I was goin’ to be stuck that much for a room an’ then not get the use of It!”—Chicago Post.

Trying His Hand.

“I doubt ye are growing remiss, John,” said a Scotch parish minister. “I have not seen you in the kirk these three Sabbaths.”

John was not duly abashed. “Na,” said he. “It’s no- that I’m growing remiss; I’m just tinkerin’ awa wl’ ma soul masel.”—London News.

The Greatest Problem.

“Some critics have been cruel enough to say that all airship inventors are flighty,” said the pretty girl. “That’s just the trouble, miss,” replied the struggling aviator; "the majority of us can’t make a flight at all* —Chicago News.

At Bridge.

Miss Bridge Fiend—You ought to be able to write fine comedies, Mr. Post. Young Author—You flatter me. Miss Beatrix. Why ought I to? Miss Bridge Fiend Because you make such amusing plays. Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Very Thing.

“Well, there’s one thing about Nuritcb; he’s always ready to confess his faults.” “Nonsense! Why, he’s forever bragging about being self made.” "Of course; that’s just, it.”—Houston Post.
