DELEGATES RETURN DELIGHTED a Taft aa4 sheraiaa, Tner AHIrm, the ' f Itraabllraa rarty Will ftacr4 4 Roosevelt Policies Trlnmpk. 'There wes do doubt that in real Tsft convention," said Arthur C. Smith, one of the delegates from Nebraska, who returned from Chicago Saturday .morning. "No ona else but Tift wii seriously con ildred and that Roosevelt demonstration was really from tha gsllaries. It started M a La Polletta demonstration and then turned to Roosevelt. The cheering wu not oy tha delegates. VI think the next convention will elimi nate the gallery feature and have a hall lust large enough for the delegates and perhaps l.noo prominent men. Those people In the gallery mado a fegular nuisance of themselves at times by their cheering. "Tim Woodruff told me that New York tate can be carried this fall easily with $hrrmah on the ticket. lie la a strong iTian and most active and It was the eon ip n mis of opinion that he would make rtrong running mate for the head of the rif-ket. ' The ten votes for Sheldon were really jiilte a compliment, but were unsolicited, njs name was not put up at the conven tion and I suppose those delegates from Wisconsin wanted to pay a little compli ant to our distinguished governor. Tha voting was practically over when they an rlrjuriced their vote." Named the Best Ticket. ''Myron L. Learned and A. C. Smith, dls Jtct delegates; Judge A. W. Field of Un join, Senator Norrls Brown, Railroad Com missioner Henry T. Clarke and Lieutenant jovernor Hopewell returned Saturday Doming from Chicago, where they attended ,:he national convention of the republican Mrty. Governor Sheldon had not decided a-hether to start for home Saturday even sg or to go on to Harvard when the dele- rates left. Victor Kosewstcr will return Sunday morning. (,"W nominated the very beat ticket am ticket which will carry out the Roose velt 'policies to the letter," ' said Mr. Uearned.

With Sherman on the .lcKet, strength Is added and there Is no - ruestlon that we will carry New York and ihe rest of the country. "The convention was composed of think - rig and progressive men, whose purpose as to frame a platform truly represents live of republican principles and to noml- iato a ticket which would see those prlnci pies carried Into effect. We found It lecessary to make the platform a little long, but this was to more clearly set .orm me principles or trie party in a way . .hat could not possibly be misunderstood, . ..

V.'It was one of the greatest conventions the party has ever held," said Lieutenant . yuvernor ttopeweu. ui course I am more tan pleased, as I waa always a Taft man. and aside from my personal gratification I, think both nominations were the best . ypat could have been made. There la no doubt of the election of the ticket by tlg majorities. The platform Is a. splendid one , aid Is one that we shall win on without any Atfubt.

Modern man of. . medicine : Specialists of Todar Acosoed of Paia Id Thrills la to Hi- . snaajtr. .The original medicine man waa half a spiritual and half a physical healer. That waa In the days when we were (Sore worried over the souls than we have got to be lately. Bo long as tha ter rors of the future loomed greater 'the spiritual healer did the bigger trade. Since then the medicine men of the body has come Into his own. We are now In the grip of the speclal , lit.' The medical "expert" takes charge of our sanitation ayatems, and the num bers and variety of bacilli, germs, ml-t-obes, bacteria ajid bacterolds which ho finds does credit to his desire to make Sfnd hold a profitable job. This organi sation of the mysteries Is one of the triumphs of the modern medicine man. It (jiaya upon oar superstitious reverence nd coaxes Ui unwilling sheckel from our pocket. In one respect the practice of medicine seems to have retrograded. The modern (hedlclne man gets his stage for heavy tragedy, and would frighten us wit,! ' prophecy of Impending disaster. Form , rly the man of medicine was also often 4 man of comedy. One Dr. John Brown if London town, for example, Interested the world, a little more than a hundred years ago, by declaring that all diseases arose from either . an excess or a de -ficlency of excitement, and proceeded to cure thom with opium and alcohol, A contemporary prescribed burnt toad for aeveral maladies and an American doctor fifty years ago administered hoof 61 hofso for epilepsy. ;iV have got beyond these things now, however. Something far more subtle is required to meet the complex maladies the doctors have found for ua.

There Is one chapter of English fiction which reads almost exactly as though It had been suggested by the testimony re spectlng the psper upon which the certifi cate purporting to witness the marriage between Benator Piatt and Miss Wood was written.' In that case, however, the novelist discovered In the water mark of a paperv upon which a forged Instrument had been written a date showing that the paper had been made a year later (han the date en- tered upon It, conclusive evidence being thereby furnished of forgery. ( .But that novel wal. written thirty years ago, and in alt of criminal procedure1 since that time, with a single exception, - there has - been' no record Of a forrery having been discovered In this way until the trial of this case sgalnst Senator Piatt. In the course of the trial the senator tes tified that he had put his name to a blank piece of paper at the request of some one who pretended to desire his autograph and that It was In the blank space over his name that the Jotter purporting to have been written by him to this woman was written. As cautious k man aa Senator Piatt would, It would seem, have had a care about the manner in which he bestowed his autograph. Some years sgo aa action was brought against a merchant doing business near New York upon a not for 13,000. Ills de fense was that while the signature to that note was undoubtedly his, yet the body of the Instrument was never made by him Tha nots waa brought to this city and sub mitted to a chemist for a test. With his chemicals he gradually brought out In faint, but yet readable words, the body of a letter which had been written by this merchant. The forger had obtained the letter and obliterated, aa ha thought, the body of It, retaining only the signature and then writ ten In the tfrms of the Jlota, which be easily got discounted. One glance at the faintly restored original letter was suffi cient to prove ths forgery. David Davis, when a member of tha I'nlted States senate and Its presiding offi cer, counseled senators, who were' his friends, that whenever they signed their name to a document 4 hey so do It aa to leave no Intervening space upon whloh any. thing could be written. To explain why he gave that advice he ssld that when he Was a Judge In Illinois before President Lincoln called him to the supreme court of the t'nlted States an ac tion was brought before him on a note. The signatures were genuine and the maker of it did not deny It. but no Insisted Shat the body of the note had been written over tha signature, although In a somewhat nar. row space. His contention was accepted by the court and there was confession of the forger afterwsrd. . Thereupon Judge Davis decided that whenever' he had occasion to sign his 'name he would write It so near any preceding writing that the Jlnes would almost touch. All Ms correspondence after that time showed this characteristic, regarded by many as one of the best Indications of that caution for which Judge Davis was distin guished.

The school garden fystem of San Antonio, Tex., is on an established practical basis. It Is said that this city has mora gar dsns attached to Its schools than any place of its si is in the wortd. There are 48 of these cultivated plot attached to the twenty-nine pub) to schools. The gar dens are in charge of sohool superintend rmts, but the work of planting-, cultivating and harvesting the prod nets of each is car ried on by the pupils of the school to which ths garden belongs. The gardens vary from one-tenth to one-quarter of an acre. It Is estimated that the total acreage is more than 100, or equal to that of a good sited farm. The boys of the schools take a great pride In their ' gardens. ' Th teachers declare that since the gardena wero established the boys are much more Industrious In their studies, that they learn more readily and that they all ' show evidence of material Improvement In their health and physical condition, f The climate of San Antonio Is peculiarly adapted to the operation of the school gay den system. The work can be carried on during practically the whole school term. Certain vegetables can be grown success fully during th fall and winter. The spring gardens are planted early in February and tha products are matured and harvested by the time the school term ends In June. An enormous quantity of vegetables is grown. The boys take such a keen Interest In the work that tljey give little time to playing the games that usually consume a good part of the time of young students. There ts much rivalry among the different schools oytr the gardens. Text books on agriculture now are used in tke public schools of Ban Antonio. Tha youths are given a basic training In farm ing and gardening and are enabled to put their knowledge to practical UN In the gar dena that are provided for them. Energetic boys who become Interested in the work do sot confine their labors to the school garden, but many of them have converted unsightly back yards and vacant lots at thstr homes into cultivated plots.

After ten days- of Inconvenience Hood conditions are over with, as far as this post Is concerned. A shortage of fresh meat and other packing houne products and a dearth of jKitatons was keenly felt by the men. J lie inanuuy oi me pacsina houses to forward supplies was the cause of the shortage In moat, while the shutting of of pfactically all railroad transporta tion -brought on the potato famine. The first shipment of potatoes was receiver Tuesday, when a car was brought to tha post bv a roundabout route. All of the organizations were Immediately notified, and In a remarkably short space of time the car waa half emptied, the nutritious vegetable being carried to the troop and buttery kitchens by the wagon loud. The potato la not as a rule, considered a deli cacy on the bill of fare, but the lack of supply created a hunger for the food that only largo quantities could appease. Mail was fremiently over due from two to three days.

Eleven polo ponies which were purchased at Alva. Okl., for the Blxlh field artillery, were stalled at Wamego, while enroute to the post by the hlKh, water. The animals, which cost from M to 8150 a head, were unloaded from the car and cared for by the local livery stables. A detachment was Bent from this post to bring the animals In overland and they arrived Wedneaday In splendid condition. The ponies are for the use of the officers and enlisted men of the rtalment. - On Saturday, June 27. a polo team repre senting this post will play in K&nsas City with the crack four of the Missouri Hunt and Polo club.
