Yours for tlm best man , Tnft. Stnto Jour- unl. , , Secretary Taft's Return. After an absence of four months , Secretary Tatt has returned - turned to this country. During1 that period he circled the { .jlobe. The principal points touched by him were Japan , the Philip pines , the courts of Russia and Germany. His mission was political. Its chief ostensible purpose was to be present at the opening of the Philippine parliament , in the fulfillment of a pomise made to the islanders Ho\v much was accomplished by this visit and his utterance is not known , but there can bu no doubt of their value in some measure lie may have , and probably did , accomplish some , tiring in Japan. The purposes of his calls at St. Petersburg and Herlin have not been dis closed , but it is safe to assume that ho li'id weighty reasons. Secretary Taft's journey was a succession of ovations and he retiiniH home full of interna tional honors. There are those who insist that Mr. Taft was sent around i the world in order that he might be more conspicuous by his absence in the interest of his presidential aspirations. But this is far-fetched. Mr. Taft did not need any such ad vertisement , for he is already sufficiently conspicuous and esteemed by the American i people. If his absence has been i anything to his boom , it lias probably been a disadvantage. Much has occurred during the past four months that has operated in favor of other can didates. There is no question thai the Taft boom has waned. Not that he has come to be less regarded with favor by the people in general. A man ot t unquestioned honesty , of charm ing personality , of long judicial 1 and rare administrative ex perience , of genuine ability , it is trite to say that he is presi. dential timber. But circum stances have arisen that have made against him , not person ally , but politically , and which he could not , in his absence , control or modify. His presence might have made a diiference for him. lie is still the big figure in the race , buthe , does not lead by as many lengths as he did before his departure. His return will probably cause a rehabilitation , but he will have to sprint with high speed to reach the wire. Ex. Former Richardson County Ladies The Long Benoh , Cal. , iteniH in Innt Sundaj's LoseAngleH Exninin- ! ! t-r joiititinetl the pieluroH of Mrs. NVm. Julinn , formerly Sue Ciiin of ibid oily , and Mrs. 0. L. Day , formerly Mr * . Dr. Hull of Stella. The following taken from the Ex aminer nhnwH how prominently opt ; Indies are identified with HO- eiid life of the beautiful eity by tl.e sea , Long 13 aoh , Dee. M. Of the mnny prominent women of Long Bench in society , charitable worker or netivo for the good of the eity , four stand pre-eminently in the load. These are Mrs. James Jud- HOU Penny , president of the libell Club , the largest women's society in the eity ; Mrs. C. L. Day , wife of the editor of Ills Daily Prece , noted for her activity in ehib work , besides beinu n brilliant musician aud singer ; Mrs. Will Julian , an entertainer of rare abil ity , her particular line buiug reading - ing and impersonating diameter , ; ind Mrs. .Jean 0. Drake , noted for her beautywit , hospitality and last , but not leastdiaritable work. Tt is through the efforts of Mrs. Penny largely that the Eboll Club has made sueh progress in the past year and has been eo produc tive of good both intellectually and to the benefit of the city. Al though at times suffering from pooV health and obliged to go to the mountains forest : and change of air , uho has had the success of the club on her mind at all limes and has surprised the members by coming down from her mountain homo in time to take the gavel be fore the hour of meeting , to the > great delight of the members , who hold her in such high regard. To Mrs. Day is left the brunt of entertaining not only the mom. bers of the club , but visitors nt moment's notice with musical numbers , nud in this she never fails. She is ever busy arranging musical p-ograms for the club as well as for other entertainments and has now gained the promi nence justly deserved IB the best soloist in Long Bench. She , in company with Mrs. Will Julian , who can provoke t ars or laughter to her listeners with her character impersonations , nlso known as one of the handsomest women of the city , will start ou a concert tour of their own in a short time , visit ing cities where they have been invited to appear. A Bold Robbery. A bold robbery orcurred at Johnson last Saturday night. Thievesentered the general store of IT. A. Keehn at that point and stole about $200 worth ol merchandise ol all classes , among the missing articles be- ing several bolts of valuable silks. It is not known how they effected an entrance but it is surmised that they unlocked the front doors. _ - They went through the stock selecting a great variety of articles , some of them of a bulky nature. The loss was not dis- covered until about noon of the next day when an investigation was made. It is thought that the burglars must have been members of a gang and that they were familiar with the premises. It is probable that they had horses and wagons to cart the stuff away. The robbery is a very mys terious one , both as to i's operation and as to where the robbers will dispose of their plunder. They left absolutely no clue as to their identity. Whether it was local talent or proles , sional thieves that did the job is left to conjecture but the probabilities are that it was tin latter tor the greatest cunning wase.xercised in performing the robbery. The nature ol the gocds stolen and the methods adopted in gaining an entrance into the store , the time it was put into execution would demonstrate that it was very carefully plan- ned. - Auburn Republican. BAROMETER COMES IN HANDY English Schoolboys Find Profit and Pleasure In Use of Forbidden Instrument. Every English schoolboy who can afford it hns n Imromotcr that he keeps hidden under his bed or in his trunk , for in nil Knglish school,1 ? barometers nro tHolly forhiddmi. Why , on the one hnnd , should they bo forbidden ? Why , ou the other hiMid , should they lie desired ? The answer is amusing. Through the autumn and winter the English schoolhoy plays foolhnll every- afternoon , weather permitting. Foot hall , likn Latin , is compulsory. He lutisl piny two hours each clear day.Those Those two hours arc Inkon oil1 hin icoitntions. They make his school tasks two hours lighter. Hence , when ho knows heforehnnd thai the next day will lie clear , he may spare hini- self two hours of tfolens study the night , before. His Imrouiotor poin- ing to "Fine" a\os him n lot of toil. Hut when flic instrument points to "Change" then the schoolboy knows thai ( here will ho no foot hull on the morrow , and he shirks none of his appointed tasks. Thus a lioy with n barometer has n big advantage. He can even luke ninny n long evening' * loaf , and at Iho same time lie eiui always bo well up in bis studios , lie often Bells weather predictions at a penny npicce. WISDOM OF EXPERIENCE.

Suddenly they weighed anchor and put to sea nt full speed. "What caused the sudden depart ure ? " at-ked the war correspondent "Torpedo or mini's ? " "Neither , " laughed the general ot the fortress.
