Alf Tay lor, republican, whose election as governor of Tennessee over Govern or Roberts, democrat, seemed to be indicated today on the basis of avail able returns, is 72 years old. He ran for governor more than a third of a century ago and entered this year's contest after 25 'years of po litical retirement. He is a brother of "Our Bob" Tay lor, late governor and senator from Tennessee and the probability of his election recalls the memorable con test between the two brothers in 1886 for the governorship, Alf run ning as a republican, and Bob as a democrat. The two Taylor brothers in the 1886 "contest, made a -spirited con test hammering each others parties and poking fun at each other, but winding up each day with ctery evi dence of unimpaired brofherly af fection. An aged vvonfap with whom the two visited during the campaign, recognized the consideration each gr-.ve the other and on one occasion presented the brothers with clusters of roses, red for Alf, and white for Hob. The campaign thereupon, and to this tiny, was known as the "war of the roses." and the "knight of th" white rose," as Bob was termed, won at the polls. During the 1886 campaign Bob Tayior earned with him a fiddle made, he told his audiences, at his home at Happy Valley, in east Ten nessee, and which he played at each joint speaking date. He rarely at tempted to discuss the serious is sues of the campaign, spending the greater part of his time in telling ;okcs at the expense of his serious lags and Specially tDUINC C STtlNlt Jim Walrus Bags This handsome leather lined Wal rus Leather Bag, snap catches, strong lock, sewed on corners. 18 inches long.

Benefits of School Story Telling Shown What success story-telling creates in high schools in portraying ideals and good principles was demon-, strated in a program of tales 'and dances given in the Central High school auditorium yesterday after noon to a large body ot "school ma'ams" attending the Nebraska State Teachers' association conven tion. Miss Ethel Dunn of Lincoln gave a .brief talk on the benefits of story telling in the schools. "If we take out the myths and lore from literature, we will take away the ideals for which mankind is constantly working," . she declared. "The Bible is .fjill of myths and par ables that, are of deep human in terest." Pupils of Miss Lena May Wil liams, dramatic instructor at Cen tral High school, gave readings of folk, nature myth, fairy and Greek hero stories. Elizabeth Patton. Ber nice Kulakofsky, Pauline Ch3loupka and Almedia Hamilton took part in the story-telling program. , Portrayers of aesthetic dancing, under the direction of Miss Mary Cooper, dancing instructor, were well received in various dance num bers.
