TUFT ROAD ROLLER , LANDS THIRTEENTH ,. . By Half a Vote Taft Chairz man Named, Then Gang Tactics Are Used.-
WARSAW, Ind., April 3 In a tumultuous and riotous convention the iTaft forces won out here yesterday affernoon. The only roll call was on the choice of a permanent chairman. Archie Graham of South Bend, candidate for the Taft forces, received 11M votes; Aaron Jones of South Bend, the Roosevelt offering, was given 70. By a viva voce vote and on motion pt Henry Wurzer, chairman of the iSt, Joseph county delegation, Clement jfctudabaker of South Bend and Maurice Fox of Laporte were elected as the Taft delegates. The Taft alternates are Lyman Brackett of Rochester and Jacob McLaughlin of Warsaw. The Roosevelt forces were in a frenzy of excitement. They swarmed about the stage in front of Chairman Graham and assailed him with criticism In which he was charged with fceing a "czar" and "robber." Graham
however, stood his ground calmly and through the keyhole?
LITTLE ORIGINALITY IN THIS WORLD
People Steal Each Others' Ideas and Hand Them Out as Their Own. Vaudeville Houses Are Scenes of Wearisome Repetition.

by the vultures roosting round on the actors or as having any relation to
intellectual fringes. Haven't you been "out in society" or sitting near the door at a club meet (with a view of oozing out inconspicuously), and been astonished to hear your own words, issuing forth from a mouth widely separated from that on your individual face? Haven't the creations of your fertile brain been absorbed by the human sponges that sit round soaking up everything in their environ?

declared Taft the choice of the con
vention, no other slate of candidates being presented, at that time. Hold Second Meeting. Immediately after the adjounrnment of the regular convention, the Roosevelt ' leaders took possession of the stage. Lew Vail of Elkhart was elected chairman, W. J. Dillingham of Warsaw, presented the names of Fred Keller of South Bend and P. R. Judklnj) of Goshen, as the Roosevelt delegates. They were elected with a whoop. The, Roosevelt alternates are E. D. Smith of Warsaw, and Dr. Loring of Knox. .,. ,The Roosevelt men, in their excitement, elected their delegates before they named a secretary of their convention. George Fleming of Elkhart, was hastily pressed into service. The Taft men chose A. J. Rumley of Laporte elector and F. M. Plymouth contingent elector. The Roosevelt elector is Harry Johnson of Knox, contingent elector, Edward Dowd of Rochester.
the dramatic art are of the same calibre as they state are their audiences. Som of them masquerade and some do not. The writer had an honest admiration for a girl who did some fairly clever musical recitative when she replied to a question as to her former theatrical experience and affiliations "I worked four years in a grocery." Stating that she "recited" at church entertainments in her little town and was advised by her friends to go into vaudeville. That she went to Chicago, appeared before some manager there and was at once booked. That she had been on the vaudeville stage for but a few weeks. The simplicity of the girl was the natural accompaniment of an actual talent. She possessed the true dramatic instinct and should, if she works as hard as she says she was doing to perfect herself in this particular "stunt," be considerably higher up on the theatric ladder in an inappreciable interval. The possibilities of the vaudeville sketch are enormous. But rarely indeed, especially in the cheaper class
vaudeville, do you see one tnat ap-
the one act
play.
Gold Filled. A gold filled tooth and your gold filled watch case may be said to be inversely analogous that Is to say. your gold filled tooth has more or less of the tooth structure of enamel on the outside with gold on a core filling the cen ter. Your gold filled watch case consists of two sheets of goid. having be tween each sheet some baser metal to which the gold is soldered. As to the gold In the case, it may be of any fineness and any thickness commensurate with the term "gold filled." A jewelei will tell you that 10 carat gold is not gold, having too great an admixture of baser metals. Many persons have the Idea that the gold filled case is an amalgam of the kind Instead of a "sandwich" of gold treated in the in side with the base metals.
The high price of butter has caused boycotts of this table necessity or luxury, as the boyce is regard it in various parts of the country. , In Chicago the consumption or nutter is said
to have fallen off 30 per cent, during j Price's one week as a result of the boycott.
Boots and Spurs. A contemporary manuscript account of the diet of Ratisbon. held in 1G30 fcy the Emperor Ferdinand II. on the occasion of the landing of Gustuvus Adolphus of Sweden in Germany, mentions as a remarkable fact that the Hungarian cavalry who rode through the streets to the ceremonial wore their spurs on their loot soles. It Is difiicult to credit that these spurs were fixed on the flat of the boot, for thus shod the horsemen could neither walk nor stand, especially when the large size of the 6pura worn at the inriod Is considered. Trobably the writer intended to indicate that instead of bing fastened to the heel in the usu;U fashion they were made ta rroject from the fore rart of the military boot, which Is a portion of the sole. The same manuscript adds that the Hungarian horses had their manes, tails and feet painted red.

The regular attender on theatrical services grows weary of their monotonous recurrence. , Especially does the frequenter of the vaudeville house grow sated with the paucity of ideas shown on those hard-worked boards. There is almost invariably the acrobat. But these rarely tire even if mediocre for exhibitions of physical strength and agality are always interesting. Then there is the man and woman.
