TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. P. O.

Men Who Are Talked About

IIAF.LES J BONAPARTE, s e c r e tary of the navy, who has been expressing his views on the punish ment of anarchists. was noted as a stu dent at Harvard for the excellence of his stories of the Mun chausen variety. One Copyright by J. E. Furdy, Boston. of them concerned a hoop snake. "There SECRETARY BOZfA- . was a farmer," youn PABTE. Bonaparte would be gin, "who was out hoeing. He was hoeing at the foot of a hill. All of a sudden he heard a noise, and, looking up, there was a hoop snake rushing down on him like the wind. Its tail was In its mouth, and in the form of a perfect circle the snake rolled down the hill upon him. The farmer was frightened, but he put up a good fight. He whacked the snake with his hoe. It let go of Its tall then and made a bite at him, but he warded off the bite with the hoe handle. The fangs of the Infuriated reptile sunk Into the handle very deep, and the farmer, with a heavy rock. killed the snake. "Then he took up the hoe and began to work. After a while he noticed that the handle seemed thicker than usuallie looked at it. Actually it was swelling. Yes, it was swelling (so powerful was the hoop snake's venom). This hoe handle before the afternoon was over had grown to the thickness of the farmer's leg." The railroad which Joseph Ramsey, Jr., former president of the Wabash, plans to build from New York to Chicago will be the first American trunk line to be equipped at the start with electric locomotives. It will have an advantage in not having to dispose of any old stock in order to utilize electric equipment. The Ramsey project Is the sensation of the hour in railroad circles. It will be shorter than any existing route between New York and Chicago. Mr. Ramsey's fight with George J. Gould over control of the Wabash occupied the center of the stage some months ago. It was settled in favor of the noted multimillionaire, and Mr. Ramsey got out of the Wabash offices. Time was when Mr. Ramsey was a great favorite with Mr. Gould and others in the Wabash directorate. A record breaking achievement in the movement of freight when he was with a small Pennsylvania road brought him to their i attention. "We've been want JOS. BAMSET, JR. ing a good general superintendent for some time," they said, "and we'll go after this man Ramsey, who does such wonderful tilings." A committee of prominent Wabash officials was sent to Pittsburg. "Where'Il we find Mr. Ramsey?" they asked at the office of his road. "Out there under that locomotive, was the reply. The eminent gentlemen picked their way over ties to a locomotive standing on a siding. Underneath the locomo tive was a man pounding away at a repair. Pretty soon the man crawled out and stood before the eminent gen tlemen. He had on overalls and a jumper that were grimy, and his hands and face were dirty and oily. "Are you Mr. Joseph Ramsey?" asked one of the visitors. "I am," was the reply. "What can I do for you?" "You can give up your job here and be the general superintendent of the Wabash." the spokesman replied. "We came over here to look you over and decide about you later, but we've changed our minds. We want you right away. An official who knows how and is not afraid to repair his own rolling stock needs no other recommendation." At Norristown, Pa., one evening not long ago a travel stained and weary looking man stepped off a train which had arrived from New York. lie carried an ordinary looking grip such as might be unearthed in any farmhouse in one hand, while with the other he fanned his face with his dasty Panama hat. The stranger meditatively scratched one leg with the toe of the boot on the other, gazed at his watch, then meandered up to the main street of the town. He was on his way to Schwenksville, and had an hour to wait for the trolley car. The tired man looked across the street to the inviting looking steps of the Tenn Trust company building and, taking a seat on the granite stairway, buried his head in his hands. A few minutes f GOVEKXOR PESSTPACKER. later a policeman came along. He saw the lone figure on the steps and, touching the 6tranger on the shoulder, paid: "See here, you must move on. We don't permit loafers on these steps." "All right," replied the stranger with a quizzical smile. "As I don't want to be run In I guess I'll move." "Governor Fennypacker' exclaimed the startled policeman, recognizing the chief executive of the Keystone State. "The same," replied the governor, smiling at the policeman's confusion. An apology was tendered by the policeman, who said that complaints had been made by the bank officers, but Governor Fennypacker complimented the policeman upon his performance of duty. Paul O. Stensland, president of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State bank of Chicago, has had a meteoric career. It might have been called a brilliant career until a few weeks ago. Stensland was the son of a ooor Nor-

wegian larmer. v nen a iaa tie was

both energetic - and ambitious, but farming was distasteful to him. The only variation offered from such a life was to become a sailor. " Yonng Stensland shipped before the mast and during several voyages visited many parts of the world. lie had not been ashore In this country many times when he decided that hia future lay here. Stensland settled In Chicago shortly. ".1.4- ' ? 3 -w. -v. PACT. O. STE2S5ULSD before the big fire- He had saved a little money and went into the dry goods business. After the fire he was carried on the top of the wonderful boom that came to Chicago in those days. He made money fast and went Into the real estate and insurance business. In time he was recognized as one of Chicago's leading citizens. He founded the Milwaukee Avenue bank. Then came a time of injudicious speculation, followed by reckless efforts to recoup his losses. Including extensive race track gambling. Now hundreds of depositors are mourning the fact that 6cch a man as Stensland was ever In the banking business. Archduke Karl Franz Josef, holr to the Austrian throne, will need a long head and a firm hand when the time comes for him to take up the golden 6cepter. That the young man he Is now only nineteen may some day rule Austria is due to a combination of unusual circumstances. The Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand, by his marriage to a woman not of royal birth, was obliged to renounce the claim of his future children to the purple. Ills younger brother. Otto, a dissolute fellow, found it necessary to renounce his right? in favor of hia son. Karl Franz Josef, because of pressure brought to bear by his uncle, Emperor Francis Joseph, and the attitude of the Austrian people. That seems to give Franz Josef a pretty clear field, but It would cornFranz Ferdinand's ,5 ' KARL FRAXZ JOSEF. plicate things If wife died and the crown prince should take a wife of royal blood. The people are anxious for Franz Ferdinand to renounce his own rights to the throne because they hate him almost as much as they do Otto. How much trouble will be provoked when Francis Joseph II. dies only time can tell, but some say the great empire is ready to crumble to pieces in the event of disputes as to the succession. Aurel Batonyi, whose marriage to Mrs. Frances Burke-Roche caused great surprise in the social circles Su which they move, is best known as one of the leading whips of the country. Batonyi was for several years a driving and riding master In a fashionable New York riding and driving academy, It was in that way that he became ac qualnted with ' many members of the Four Hundred. He had undoubted ability as a horseman, some qualities that were pleasing to his patrons and a well defined purpose to force himself to their social level. In this attempt he met with more or less success. It is said that some years ago Mr. Batonyi assumed the AtrREL BATorrrt. title of count, later explaining that he did so at the request of his first wife, from whom he was afterward divorced. In January, 1005, a report came from Vienna that Batonyi had received a bullet in the left arm in & duel with Count Szechenyi. Mr. Batonyi has probably taken more prizes driving horses at shows in this country than any other man. Harry Payne Whitney, the young multimillionaire, tells of a horse owner of very luxurious tastes who, wherever he may be, is satisfied with no less than the best. During the racing season in the west this horseman once invited a friend in humble circumstances to dine with hkn at a very expensive hostelry. The guest was much Impressed by his surroundings and made frequent inquiries touching the cost of the various luxuries there to be obtained. As the dinner neared Its close he asked the horseman as to the amount of the tip he usually gave the 'waiter. "Well," said the horse owner, "if he serves me well I generally give him a dollar. If the service is bad, why, I give him a tip on the races." HE PREFERS TO PAY FARE Bryan Rejects the Offer of Railroad President to Give Him Uss of Phivate Car. Publishers' PressJ New Ku. , auj. 27. Mr. Bryan has declined the proffer of President Mellen's private car on his trip from New York to this city. In his letter he says: "I do not think it would be wise to accept favors from the railroad. Let me pay my fare and ride, as I usually do." Girls Perish In Creek. Loveland, T)., Aug. 27. Misses Flora Mullen and Lucy Hill of Pleas ant Hill, near here, were drowned by the overturning of a buggy in a small creek here. They attempted to ford the creek, which was swollen by recent heavy rains. O. B. Medearis has gone to Lynn for a few days in the interest of the Loyal Protective Association for L O. O. F. lodge.
