WRITE MESSAGE
PRESIDENT WILL NOW PREPARE
THE DOCUMENT.
IS AGAIN BUCK TO BUSINESS
After a Fifteen Thousand Mile Trip
Will Immediately Attack Work
that Confronts Him.
Washington.-—The White House is
occupied again. President Taft swung
down from his private car in the
Union station here Sunday morning
at 6:45 at the end of his 15,000-miie
trip, and. fifteen minutes later the
glass doors of the executive mansion
opened for him. It was the presi
dent’s first call there since Auustg 27,
excepting only for a stop between
trains two weeks ago.
There were few persons in the sta
tion when the presidential train
pulled in. only a few policemen and
a number of White House employ*!:.
Mrs. Taft, who was expected here be
fore the president, came Sunday,
night. The president had breakfast
and luncheon alone, attended church
and spent the remainder of the day
in resting and receiving callers. He
took a long walk in the rain late in
i the afternoon.
There are two matters before Mr.
Taft that he regards most important.
The third annual message is yet to
be written and, although data for it
has been assembled, he has not writ
ten any part of it.
In addition to writing his message,
the president intends to “give much
consideration to the appointment of a
successor to the late Supreme Court
Justice Harlan and to the naming ot
men to fill other important judicial
vacancies. For the supreme court
vacancy alone there have been more
than forty recommendations, but the
president has made no determination
as to whom he shall name nor does
he expect to do so for several weeks.
As forecasted in his speech to the
Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburgh
several weeks ago. Mr. Taft expects
to recommend in his message "con
structive -legislation to strengthen
and to make more certain the regula
tion of trusts." Federal incorpora
tion. which lie has recommended
heretofore, probably will be put up to
congress. What additional legisla
tion the president may suggest he
has not determined.

COUNTESS IS SUED FOR DEB1
London Money Lender Asks Woman
Friend of King Edward to
Repay $25,000.
London.—The Countess of Warwick,
one of the closest friends of the late
King Edward, has been sued by a
former London saloonkeeper for $25,
000, and only the intervention of pow
erful influences has kept the case
from coming up publicly in court. The
suit shows that the countess was the
viettflv-of a huge swindle in her deal
ings tfrifh Hooley, the former London
financier now bankrupt.
A climax to the countess' troubles
came when she no longer had a king
to guide her in her attempt to re- !
NJS

"After calling on roe she frequently
ordered a special train to convey her
to her home at Warwick Castle, as
regular trains were not on time for
tea. The price for the special train
was borrowed.”
OSTRICH IS BROKEN TO RIDE
Not Difficult or Dangerous to “Break’*
Big Rooster Bird to the
Saddle.
Los Angles, Cal.—In California
there are s®eral large ostrich farms,
where hundreds of these big plumage
birds are hatched, raised, and kept
for the commercial value of their
feathers. Quite often some of the
male ostriches are broken to ride, as
may be seen by the accompanying il
lustration. This scene is shown on
one of the large ostrich farms lo
cated near Los Angeles.
As a general thing it does not prove
a difficult or dangerous piece of work
to "break" a big rooster ostrich to the
"saddle." or to ride him "bare
back.” It only requires a little pa
tience. tact and gentleness. The
huge bird soon comes round to bis
work. He is not cross or ill natured
If treated kindly, as a rule, and makes
a tractable mount. Sometimes they
Riding an Ostrich.
are broken to drive either singly or in
a team, and draw about the farm a
two or four-wheeled vehicle.
They are very powerful creatures
for their size and weight, and have
not the least difficulty in carrying
about an ordinary man. On foot
they are very nimble, and can run
with the speed of a horse. A hard
kick from one of these ostriches' feet
Is powerful enough to break a man's
leg or arm.
WAS WORSE THAN LION'S DEN
Fascinated Msn Sees Rattlesnakes
Crawl Over Him When He Stum
bles Among Them.
Los Angeles, Cal.—"It seemed like
a thousand pair of beady little eyes
were focussed on me alone, their
forked little tongues glistening beau
tifully In the sunlight. I was almost
paralyzed with fear, yet fascinated as
they crawled over and about me.”
This was the statement of Koy
Jones, day clerk at a local hotel, who
on the previous day stumbled head
long over an embankment Into a den
of rattlesnakes at the month of Eagle
Rock canyon.
"It seemed like 1 lay on my back for
hours. There were scores of rattlers
around me. I was afraid to move or
even breathe. 1 expected some of
them to coll up and strike me at any
moment
“One big rattler wound Itself around
my camera, and then my friend Ben
Johnson called to me./ This brought;
me from my trance. He climbed down
with two big sticks and 1 got up.
“We killed four or live snakes and
then got out of the way In a hurry:
Give me a den of lions to a den oC
rattlesnakes every time. That experi
ence will always Uve with me. It warn
terrible!”

Trec Destroyers.
Porcupines are good climbers, and
when unable to get enough apples
wind-blown to the ground, swarm a
tree and cut down the finest bearing
limbs as quickly and neatly as a beav
er can sevt-r the trunk of a young
hemlock. Besides that, when other
food is scarce they nibble the bark
off young apple treeB, and can destroy
a newly planted orchard in a short
time. They also are a great enemy to
the young spruce, but why they cut
them is a mystery, as it is not found
that they even eat the tenderest
shoots.
A Matter of Constitution.
"There's no use talking about wom
en making themselves the equals of
men. They never can do it It's a
mere matter of constitution."
"How do you make that out? It has
been demonstrated that women can
endure hardships even more stoically
than men.”
"Oh. I don’t mean it that way. They
will always wait for the chauge, even
If it doesn’t amount to more than a
cent.”
No Jury.
"Didn't you give that man a Jury
trial?"
"Look here," replied Broncho Bob:
"there ain't a big lot o’ men in this
settlement. We couldn't possibly git
12 of ’em together without startin' a
fatal argument about somethin' that
had nothin’ whatever to do with the
case.”
Youth and Age.
“Tbe difference between youth and

thing. forgives itself nothing. Age.
which forgives itself everything, is
forgiven nothing.’ ”
