mes of its duration because the
newspapers criers were preparing
dispatches announcing the confirma
tio of the "Feud and bad feeling that
is existing between Judge Taft and
myself," he continued. "Under the
drenmstances I hope that I may be
pardoned if I say here in his presence
the first time I have every had an
option to say it that there has never,
so far as I knew, been the slightest ill
feeling of any kind between Judge
Taft and myself."

Attempt Made to Murder Health
. Officer in San Diego.
. SAN DIEGO, Cal.. Sept. 2.-The
avowed purpose of the city board of
health to enforce the state vaccination
laws irt the case of public schools
which open on the 8th has caused
much ill feeling. Tuesday when the
wife of Dr. Francis H. Mead, the
health officer, opened the front door
of their residence on Fourth street
she found a stick of dynamite attach
ed to the door knob, together with a
note reading:
"Mead, don't you attempt to vacci
nate, you poor unscrupulous quack.
My children will not be vaccinated.
The black hand is on your track. This
is the last warning."
The dynamite was very insecurely
fastened to the door knob presumably
with the intention that it should fall
to the floor and explode when the
door was opened.

GIRL IN POLITICS.
Miss Levy of Seattle is Campaigning
For Her Father.
SEATTLE, Sept. 2.-Two hundred
rough clad men of the Riggers & Ste
vedores' Union suspended the regular
routine of their business session at
their headquarters on Western Ave
nue Monday afternoon and gave un
divided attention to a 10-minute ad
dress by Miss Gertrude Levy, the
young woman who is conducting an
energetic campaign for her father,
Benjamin C. Levy, candidate for the
nomination for county treasurer. It
took a suspension of the rules of the
union to permit the young woman to
be heard and the president of the
organization, to whom she first ap
plied, was doubtful of the success of
her request. However, he put it to a
vote which resulted unanimously in
favor of the fair applicant.
"I told them," said Miss Levy,
father's record as deputy for 15
years, and appealed to them as
workers to assist a fellow worker to
gain the recognition he deserves.
They didn't treat it as a joke. I think
I was too serious about it. They gave
me a courteous hearing and applaud
ed me when I finished."

For over a year I tried bard to locate
those mysterious poems and enlisted i irti ft,. mm

that I was wasting time and that the
alleged quotations were merely Mr.
Kipling's little joke.
"In other words, be manufactured
