"Don't len\e here , Wesley , " said
Judge Estolle , "until you can leave
hero right. In time you will come out
nnd bo nblo to look the world In the
fac < ' "
"No , sir , Judge Estelle , you have
tnken much Inteiest In me. I llko it
heie line H'H a good location , fresh
nlr , nud thev me veiy kind to me. I
have gained about three pounds. My
father has not been hero since I left
the jail , .lull life Is bad. "

yems old , Is a lluo looking boy , well
built , weighing about 148 pounds , curly
ball , and when speaking nlwnys looks
the pei sou ho Is nddiesslug directly
In the eye.
Thinks boy Is Innocent.
1'iom the Judge's comeisntion about
McBrldo , nfter the boy had been again
tnkeu In charge by the nttoudnnt , It
could easily be seen thnt the Judge
has no doubt but that the boy Is not
gulltv of the 11 line of nun dor which
wns chnrged against him.
"McBiide is a good boy , " bald Judge
Estollo. "Ho has one of the best fa
thers In the state. "
When McBiide Hist cnmo here , says
Supeilnteudent I'eclval , ho was smok

n pipe occasionally nud soon that priv

Clgarets Are Blamed.
"I bello\c the clgarot .smoking IE
the entiic foundation of McBrlde's
tiouble , " bald the doctor.
"In reality I should have sent'Me
Bride to Lincoln , but I don't believe
In bending boys to Lincoln. Penlton
ttary Is a bad place for boys. I have
always contended that nn insane In
stitute was albo n bad place. If r
patient is not cray when he goes
there , he soon will bo after a longtl
of time , " said Judge Estelle on his
return tilp from the hospital.
"I hn\o picked the Noifolk Instl

PARTY HAS KEPT FAITH.
The President Is Proud of the Achlevt
ments to Date.
Beverly , Mnss. , Aug. is John Cnlln
O'Lnughlln , writing to lua papers
says :
Under the rule which applies to Ir
torvlovvs with the president of th
United Stntes , I nm not permitted t
quote Mr. Tnft , but I nm authorize
to say that the following oxpresso
clearly the views ho entertains of th
status of the republican party today
The republican party Is a party c
progress , a party of execution.
It has fulfilled loyally its campalg
pledges.
It has been efficient and effective i
government.
. (
It has enacted wise and progressive
legislation In the interest of the people
ind In nccoidance with the platform
dii | ted by Its convention In 1008.
I'nilor the circumstances It la meet
1
thnt the people nhould give It their
orinnl linlofeuiuont by continuing It In
power In congiess at the coming elec
tions.
'lie chief executive does not speak
xalngloilously of the achievements of
administration nnd of the majority
In congress , So far as he himself Is
concerned , he feels he has done the
best that is In him for the people , Ir-
lespoctlvc of political faith , and he
r roj'oses ' to pursue those policies
which In his Judgment , will Inuie
to their benefit in the future.
Natuially. he deslies republican sue-
ess in November , less because of the
> ersonnl grntlllcntlon ho will enjoy
rom the confidence which thereby
I'll ! be expressed In him nnd his ad-
iiinNtmtlnn thnn In the opportunity
i republican majority will afford to
vi he Into law fm-reaching reforms
ei contemplates.
The people have little Idea of the
mportnnco of the legal problems that
vill press for solution during the next
ongiess the Inst of this ndmlnls-
ration.
Before the congicss elected In No-
ember shall meet the supreme couit
vill hand down Its decisions in the
Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases ,
\nA If the contention of the govern-
iient be sustained , as the president
) elieves , n vast leoignnlzntlon of busl-
less will follow , nnd legislation must
be provided to ennblc the government
> ropeily to grapple with the new
conditions.
If the government be beaten , then
there will be n universal demand for
the stiengthening of the antl-tiust
aw , or at least the piovlsion of a
remedy which will foice huge combt-
mtlons ol cnpltnl to conduct business
note In the Interest of the people
thnn is the case todny.
The president nhendy has framed , \
olutlon in his federal incorporation
plan for all corporations doing nn In-
teistate business , which he submitted
: o congiess in n special message last
vv inter.
The taiiff experts will submit to the
piesldeut within two years lecommcn-
latlons for levision of ceitain sched
ules of the tmlff law. The pioblem
of cuiioncy lefoim must be dealt
with couiageoiisly. Effective govern
mental contiol of laihoad capitaliza
tion must be secured. The demand
of labor respecting the issue of in
junctions must bo considered wiselj
nnd with due regnrd for the effect
of the nctlon tnken upon nil the im-
poitnnt inteiests involved.
Further lefoims for the conservn
tion of national resources , which vvll !
insure the pieservation of natura
wealth for this and future generations
and at the snme time permit wise am
sane exploitation nnd development
must bo enncted.
I have icferred to only the more
striking things in the legislative pro
gram the president still has in mine
to show how necessary , in his view , is
the election of a lepnbllcan majoiltj
in the fall. A demociatlc house woult
lefuse , of course , to grant him tin
legislation he so eainestly wishes. I
would hamper his administration ii
eveiy possible way.
And while , from a legislative poln
of view , he would be able to achievi
little with a democratic house , it 1
the belief of the president he stll
could do many things In adminlstra
tion which would be of grent vnlu
to the couutiy. He proposes to in
troduce economy in government , t
plnce the several departments upon i
business basis , to create an elllcien
machine which will run smoothly am
at the lowest possible cost.
As an indication of what the , pros :
dent has in mind attention may b
called to the reorganization and sav
ing which have occurred in the treas
my department and In the postoffic
depmtment. The Intter depnrtmen
actually turned back ten out of th
seventeen millions of the deficit fo
which nn npproprlntion was made. A
n result nt the end of the last flsca
year instead of the anticipated deflci
of $40,000,000 theie was a surplus o
$13,000,000 , which , as the preslden
suggests , is a truly wonderful show
ing.
ing.Tho
The president is not concerns
about the effect of the elections upoi
his personnl fortunes. Ho is no
looking forwmd to 1912 , not cllrecl
ing his acts or his policies towan
securing renominatlon and re-electioi
to the office he now holds.
He is seeking to do the things a
hand and to do them in the righ
way. If his course be approved , wel
nnd good. If It be not approved , we !
and good also. That this is his stat
of mind Is shown by his decision note
to take any managerial part In th
approaching campaign. .
Ho will do what ho can to nssls
the pm ty , but he will not permit poll
tics to intercfer with his work. Fo
Instnnco , he hns to make such -imporl
ant appointments as a chief justlc
and two associate justices of th
United States supreme court. H
must organize a commission to ir
vestigate railroad cnpltnllzntion , i
commission to reform business metl :
oils In government departments , :
universal peace commission.
Ho must appoint five lawyers n
judges of the United States clrcul
bench , who shall constitute the cour
of commerce created by the recen
lailroad law. As ono of the men sc
lected will bo a member of the intot
state commerce commission , an abl
successor must bo chosen.
Nothing , In the Judgment of tin
piesident , is more important than tin
appointment of the right men.
In addition Mr. Taft desires to hav >
his annual message drafted before In
returns to Washington. Ho will havi
to consider and pass upon the rocom
mendatlons of the army board of on
glneers , formed to select the reclamn
tlon projects which shall be carriet
without delay to completion.
Eveiy depmtment hns It largo ques
tions of policy which constantly arc
being placed before the president for
decision.
So far ns what h s been accomplish-
ed Is coiuerned , the piesident la proud
of It. There ought to be no doubt on
/this scoie. And bomo of the pilde
I he feels la founded in the fact that
the legislation enacted wns enncted
by the legular vote of the lepubllcnn.
'pnit.v. '
It Is tine some ehmiges were made
; ln the v m lous bills nt the Instnnco of
the iiiMii gents nnd democrnts , but
the pioaldent nssrts they were few In
number. The mnln features , with the
exception .of the tmlff law , were fore
shadowed In speeches ho made be
fore congress assembled 'last Decem
ber , In his several messages , nnd In
bills which wore especlnlly prepiirod
by his dliectlon for the consldeintlon
of congress.
I The way In which the tariff law
has operated has glv n the president
considerable satisfaction. He fully
justifies the clnlm he made for It at
Wlnoiin , that It was the best law of
the kind ever enacted. The value of
the law as a revenue pioducer Is es
tablished. With icferenco to Its ef-
i feet upon the consumer , the piesident
insists that It geneially Is in his In-
toicst.
Numeious reductions were made In
the duties on necessities , while the In
creases i elated to luxuiles , such as
wine and the like. Proof of this fact
and of the falsity of the clnlm thnt
the tmlfl Is lespoiistble for the high
cost of living bus been furnished the

dent which will no doubt result fa
tally , occurred to Walter , the 3-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Bad-
burg , who live six miles northeast
of Tecumseh , this afternoon. Mr. Bad-
burg was nt work in the field with
a riding disc plow. The child had
gone to the field and did not return
to the house , as the father had order
ed him to. While the father was plowIng -
Ing , Walter laid down In a furrow and
went to sleep. The dust wns so dense
the father did not see the sleeping
child and drove over him. Ho made
a heiolc effort to catch the child be-
foie the disc cnught his body , nnd In
doing so , Mr. Bndburg lost his balance
and fell on the doublotrees nt the
mules' feet. The team ran away , the
plow passing over the boy's body and
throwing Mr. Badburg off , ono disc
going over him.
One of the boy's legs was complete
ly severed and his body was mutilated.
It required four hours for the burgeon
to dress the wounds. At a late hour
the child was still alive , though it Is
not thought ho will survive. Mr. Bad-
burg was not seriously hurt.

of the 01 centric1 conceits in feminine
headgear which mo just coming Into
popularity here
One Is icinlndcd of the gilm fash
ions of the dli ee tot ate , when the hair
was diessed a la vlctlme that Is cut
closely to the boat ! In anticipation of
the hoiiible scene to follow. There
Is a lemlndcr , too. of the less tetilblo
allusion of a latei day. the amusing
ono which signall/ed Pails' possession
for the fiist time of n living glinfle.
It wns in 1827 thnt the Jmdiit don
I'lnntes became enilched by n glinffo
given by Charles X , and Pails Im
mediately went mad over the stianger
composing music in Its honor , singing
its inalses on the stage ; and. as a con
sequence , vveailng diess n In glinffo ,
bonnets a In gitnffe , sashes n In glinffe ,
nnd so on.
The adventitious woman sometlmeH
chooses to wear fieak fashions on her
head because her courage Is aided by
the fact that she cannot under such
ciiPinnstances see herself as others
.PC . her Be that as it may , it Is in
the mlllineiv of the moment that the
otf * noticeable veisatlllty Is shown in
the pioduction of dailng and ecccntiic
modes.
The "Extinguisher" is n specially di-
veiting model , not too obvious to bo
absmdly like Its piototypo. but In
every essential detail faithful. It Is
made of flame coloied stiaw. in the
extinguisher shape , with av bilm thnt
Is Aei } wide at the sides mid a crown
that is correctly tall and Is tilmmed
with n soft , gray marabou plume , remi
niscent In shape of the puff of smoke \
of a cnndle thnt hns Just been extin
guished.
This the Pmlsienne wonts with a
nonchalance thnt Is delightful. She
might have on her head the most r.m-
monplaee'of coveilngs nnd slio would
not look less self-conscious. By pnss-
ing on to her beholders n lemnant of
her own peifect balance she makes
the mo t "Impossible" of modes con
vincing.
More peculiar effects have been rea
lised of late by means of plumage
than by the use of lloweis , and the
world has been semched for ideas to
bo ninteiiall/cd in the denotation of
lints. The rajah's turbnn , with its up
standing nigrette , the field mnrshnl's
helmet with its charncteilstic plumes ,
and the feathers of the Indian brave
all hnve been pressed into seivice. '
Hendered in white , tipped with cnn-
nry yellow , the Indian quills are high
ly effective , blanching in an oblique
dii ectlon above a cloche-shaped hat ,
with a band of black velvet to steady
them at the base. It Is upon a black
and white or n pale yellow shape thnt
their apepnrnnco Is most striking , nnd
In thnt setting they nre being worn by
girls In their late 'teens nnd early
twenties , making n renlly neat nppenr-
ance in comparison with other de
signs , t
The "Jockey" cap is more trying
and should be worn only by those who
can mid do dnre much In their choice
of headgear. It covers the head com
pletely mid. like many of the lints of
the day , bears the appeal ance of being
rather too Inrge for its wearer. Broad
stripes of satin ribbon , brought be
neath n button nt the npex , compose
It , nnd the feminine nddltlon of a tvvlbt
of taffeta Is given to It to finish it and
make It more becoming.
Magpie white mid blnck stilpes , rose
tempered by blnck , and the very be
coming' biege and mauve harmonies
are pretty color schemes , but In al
most all cases the ribbon scarf is n
black one , to give soberness to the
plctmo and to render It more univer
sally acceptable.
The "Butterfly" hats are truly fasci
nating. The ornament is made of
gaiue , painted to resemble the special
butterfly that best accords with the
tolletts. There are the painted lady ,
the tortoise shell , the red admiral with
Its showy scarlet and black coloring ,
the rare purple admiral and the ex
quisite frltlalarles poised upon the
headgear as If there for a moment
only , the next to vanish in flight.
The Insect fulfills tno purpose of a
big center ornament for the hat , wltl'
antennae work of silver wire or deli-
J cato plumage waving this way ( .ml
that , even above the high crown nnd
beyond the brim. Composed of tulle
gauged upon a light shape , or of the
liner straws , such as Point d'ltulle ,
rlco and crinoline such a millinery
effort Is worthy of moie radiant sum
mer than Paris has known so far this
year.
There Is n wonderful story tel 1 of
n certain Parisian beauty nnmed Hoi
ono , who , seeing n rlvnl In a hat that
was n dpullcato of her own , gave her
own hat to n little street aiab in her
i hnl's piesence and made nnotho1 for
herself of a llsh basket , a garter mid
a bit of lace That hat created M fu-
lore nnd became the model of Urn ion-
son.
