Tin- Joy of a candidate, no Judge Taft ban found, are not nil In the wordy HtruKBle of challenge and counter challenge be tween rivals for office. When Mr. Taft wants relaxation from the cares of tho campaign he can find It In tho letters of hundreds of crankH all over the United States, for whose vagaries the republican leader Is a target. Tho letters come on every mall. "Would you stake a loan of $200 on an utter Btranger and take chan ces of reimbursement before January 1?" William II. Taft would not, even thoujfh he Is a candidate for the pres idency and temperamentally Inclined to oblige rather than disappoint. The question was put In a letter received from a Newark, N. J., wo-j man. It Is only a fair sample ooleet ed from hundreds of begging letters which are found In Mr. Taft's mall. Most of the applicants for loans or nld of another character give some explanation of the need which has led to the making of application to the candidate, but the Newark woman says only: "Needless to add, the ne cessity Is Indeed pressMng for me to call on you." The requests for gifts range from n horse and wagon or a cow to Jew dry. Here Is one from a young la dy In' EI Paso. Tex, who wants a Yale pin for her collection: "Pear Sir: Please pardon this bit of audacity In my wrltinor to you. but I have taken n great Interest In your life and affairs since 1 heard of the candidates for the presidency. Now, I wlsli a favor at your hands. Couldn't Hoy Ono. "I am a young girl In high school who Is collecting plus. Hut as luck would not favor mo I have not ob tained one which I greatly delre namely, one from Yale. Many girls buy the pins, but T prefer none If they cannot tie given to me. for the giver adds half the pleasure. Now, I ask you. f not too much trouble, to break luck's spell and gratify the wish of a humble friend and send her a Yale pin. I sincerely hope I may some day see you as president of the I'nited States. I should then be ex tremely proud If you would tie so kind as to send me a Tale pin." Mrs. Taft also gets her share of the applications for nld to churches, fairs and guilds. "Fend Just a little thing for the fancy table." Is a fre quent appeal, and had she time Mrs. Taft could be as busy as her husband. The requests to her range from em broidering a pair of suspenders or making a rag doll down to straight and candid applications for cold cnh. Most of these go Into the Taft office,! where they are nnswered with those addressed to the candidate. Had Mr. Taft granted all the re quests made to blm to aid poor youths to an cduiiitbm he would now be able to dispense with the proposed organ ization of Taft clubs In universities, for every university In the country would have had n personal represen tative financed by blm Cripple Sends Kogrcts. One of the most original requests comes from a cripple n California, who says that he goes about In a wheel chair, and proposes to sell the advertising privileges of the chair back to Mr. Taft. This man says: "I have an Invalid chair which friends gave me ami go out and "sell .small stuff of all kinds to help my self along. Dining election or cam paign times I have an advertising board on the back of my chair on which I place all of the candidates whom I work and vote for. 1 wish to place your photo In the center of my advertising board and ask you to kindly send latest cut of yourself to place there. I go all over the coun try and In the small towns. On Sep tember 9 I shall be In a town where there are 100.000 or 12r,00() people, and by advertisement can be seen by nil. "As this Is the only way I have to help myself along, send what you think It Is worth." "p. H. Win we must or bust and let no teaser come to hush me up." Prom mi Old Confederate.

It Is said to disclose a fine appreciation of scenic values and an artistic sense of cor rectness. The entire production throughout was newly built in New York for this season's tour and dis plays unusual fidelity to artistic standards. The second act, showing the Interior of tho "Kajah's" palace, gives the appearance of architectural solidity, distance and correct perspec tive, while the first act Is a benutiful and rich picture of Orientalism. Ev ery property down to the smallest de tail Is In keeping with the surround ings The phiy Is costumed with re markable richness and better still, the players know how to wear them. No better example of lighting effects has ever been employed In spectacu lar production. The appearance of the "Chef" in Pendleton will be awaited with Interest, for although seen here before, much of its reputation has preceded it. Hen Je rome, the composer of 30 "song hits' of the piece, is a most prolific writer. The humor of this musical pastime is fresh and piquant anil never of the cheap species, to which even many well known authors stoop at times.

In order to select the trees best adapted to this climate, Mr. I.lpps has written, to the state horticulturists for an opinion an. I the selection will be made after this report has been made A small acreage will be set out first and the "home-made" forest will be added to year by year until the steep hillsldis of the government farm at Fort Iipwal are clothed In a cultiva ted fof.St. The innovation is attempted pri marily as an object lesson to the citi zens of the state to show them the ne cessity of and the value to be de rived from reforest ration. That the n foi-estr.itioti will add to the water supply is conceded.

TEACH POST SPISV1CE IX SCHOOLS OP NATION Washington, Sept. 15. Postmaster tieneral Meyer lias made an order that promises beneficlent results. The postmasters of the country have been directed to confer with their local school authorities as to the practica bility and desirability of delivering to the school children short talks on the postal service. The design Is to In form the pupils of the scope of its operations', the methods of delivering the mails, classiflcatin of mail matter and registry and money-order sys terns. Incidentally they are to make known plans for betterment, such as the establishment of postal savings banks and the extension of the par-i ftis ost, Wherever It may be im-j practicable for postmasters to dcliv-j er the lectures they are to furnish the necessary information to the school supervisors, so as to equip the reg- ular teachers. It is the postmaster-! general's expectation that the school children will be useful to the postal; service in seeing that letters are, properly and plainly addressed. That there Is necessity for action of the kind Is shown by the volume of business transuded by the dead letter office. During the last year. 13,1 4... Z pieces of mail matter were sent there, because the postoffices were unable tu read them. viiii:i.wii iiakkek is EQPAI, TO E.MERM-.Xt'Y. Milton, Del., Sept. 16.
