FEAK ELLIS WILL NOT S1AN1) So many changes liavo beon made In "personal roprceontntlvcs ot the resident" slnco Tnft landed In the White IIouso that suspicion Is nbroad already that Wado Kills will not last longer than the stato convention In his now position ns chairman of the ctato Republican machlno. For n time Hurlon won supposod to bo "tho volco' In Ohio, but he cracked his volco voting with Ald rlch on tho tariff hill nearly as many times as Dick did. Brother Charles had tho "hunch" on all the rose for ft whtlo with thoso who though ho would continue to bo hb liberal with "lior inonoy" ns ho was two yearn ago, but ho put his wnllot back In tils pocket after Bur ton bent him to tho eonalo and now ho juBt goes to tho Whllo House and calks It ovor with his big broth er. Then I'hlpps was to bo "field mar shal," but ho was soon caught lob bying on tho floor of tho house Herrlck, bollovlng that his star of destiny was lining at last from tho mlro of 190G, got Into tho White IIouso ono dny and Gtayod thoro all night. That wrb 'tho day Drothor Charles and Vorys woro thero to gether. But Ilorrlck'o star hasn't elnco boen Boon by anybody olso un less It was tho fugitive comot that swopt ncross tho evening sky sotno wcoks ago and fooled a lot ot pooplc Into believing, for n tlmo, that It waa Hnlley'n comet playing n roturn engagement, Vorys, "ehlof of etnft" In 1008, was nnuounccd boforo this sosslon of tho leglslnturo began ns tho porsonnl ropresontatlvo ot -President Tnft In handling tho Uopubllcnn innjorlty. But tho way tho Ucpubllcnn mom bora stuck their tongues out and the nolso they mndo doing It right to hlB fneo soon settled tho former "chief of start" an dictator general to tho leglslaturo. Now ho sits quietly In tho councils of tho strategy board. Then Moouoy, speaker ot tho houso got a hurry cnll lo Washington mid ho came back with tho president's orders to tho leglslaturo whllo Trend way, lloutonnnt govornor, thus publicly and complotoly Ignored, was thinking up , speech for tho oponlng of tho session. But whon ho saw that "tho volco" wis put In Moonoy's mouth, Trondwny Kparod tho sonato tho ordeal of n upooch and only Moonoy's speech npponiu If tho Jour nal of tho gonoral nssombly. Within two months, Wudo Mills Is sent on lo bo "tho volco", "tho big stick" nndillio ivtoaiu rollor com blnod, Tho-monnor in which tho oth er "voices" faded away glvos liopo to disgusted Itopubllcnns all over tho stato of Ohio Hint ho will last only until tho slnto convention. It would bo n pity ami a political mlHfortuno ftor tho Democrats If AVudo lasto no longor than that. IMUNTliU AT rUHMO EXPENSE Hero Is just n lltllo press dispatch from Washington, but It Ib worth more than pnsiilng notice: "Washington, Feb. 1 1.

I1EFOHE AND AFTEK At tho conforonco of tho bosses hold In. tho Whlto IIouso It was vlr uiously assumed that "tho Republi can party rofuses to be an accessory 'o Iho acts uncovered by tho Ohio probing committee." How nro thoy going to dodgo It? McKInnon and Mark Slater wore nev er accessories of tho Democratic par. ty. The Republican bosses named Mc KInnon for stnto treasuror In contor encos that woro hold nt Washington Ji'St as this conferenco was held. They nlso named McKlnnon's deputy, Green, for his successor In tho same way. Tho bosses nlso mndo Mark Slator libllo printer and ho was ono of tho appointees of Governor Herrlck.

"I have n't tho least ambition to slay lions or rovel In tho blood of hippopotami. My errand thoro Is a humnno ono. I nm setting forth on this Hazardous sov-onty-day prllgrlmago In ordor to rid tho Httlo city of Ashland, Ohio, of tho worst human pest that ovor n com munity wns cursed with. "That pest, It grieved mo to say, 13 my old school friend, Frank E. Myors. Myers makes pumps for n living; or rather pumps Is tho lifo ot Myers, bo- causo Myers Is obsessed by them. Ho talks pumps night nnd dny. Ho thinks pumps nnd dreams pumps. Ho has got tho pcoplo of his homo town so surfeited with pumps that its got to a point whoro Myors has got to Icavo Ashland or Ashland will move out in n body nnd Icavo him. "I hnvo been working on Myors for months trying to persuade him to get out nnd glvo Ashlnnd n rost, nnd it wns only u wcok ago that I Anally succeeded. Tho way of It was this: I got to talking to him ono day and tho conversation qulto unexpectedly drifted mound to tho subject of tho Snhara desert. " 'That ought to bo a lino country for pumps,' Myers suggested. '"flint gavo mo an Idea. "'You'ro wrong, Frank,' 1 said, 'whoro did you get that absurd no tion. Thoy know moro nbout pumps down In that country than you, with nil your modern wisdom, ovor dream ed of. Bumps In tho Sahara nro tho staff ot lifo; out hero In Ohio thoy aro only nn nrt, n dlvorslon. If you over got Into tho Sahara you'll pick up n lot of Information about pumps. It's too bad you can't tnko n trip ovor thoro because from what pcoplo horo In Ashland 'oil mo, you'vo got n tor rlblo lot to learn on that subject.' "Woll, that rathor got undor My ors' skin. 'Say ho said, 'do you think that bunch ot inumtnlos nnd has beens can tell mo anything nbout pumps? Why, my good man, I'vo con socrntod my wholo Ufa to tho study of pumps. I know nil thut It Is possi ble for nny human bolng ovor to know about thorn. Why, if I ovor drlftod Into that country nnd stayed n month thoro'd bo n Myors pump on overy corner lot In tho Sahara.' '"Don't got excited, Frank. Don't lot your outhuslnsm mnko you say soiuothlng you'll bo sorry for. Don't you know that tho Pharaohs woro making pumps boforo your Httlo mod ern upstart or n grent-groat-grandfnth-or wna born? Why, Wio newborn babo In tho Snhara Inherits from his par ents moro accumulated pump wisdom than you'vo picked up In your wholo career. "That made Frank no mad that ho walked right off without n word nnd loft mo. I didn't seo him again for two days. Thou ho suddenly stopped mo on tho strcot nnd, without another word, snld: '1 don't enro a rap what tho Pharaohs do, 1 mnko tho greatest pumps In tho world.' You seo ho had boon brooding, " 'Frank,' I said with n smllo of pity that must huvo mndo his blood boll, 'I seo thero's only ono way lo disillusion you, You'll hnvo to go to tho Snhnrn nnd seo for yoursolf.' " 'Nmno your day, ho said, bristling lllto n porcupine "'Monday or Tuosdny of next wook,' I shot right back nt him. '"You'ro on,' ho said, and tumod right around and loft mo. "Woll, Hint's tho way of It. I'vo fin ally got Myors up hero, tho tickets aro nl bought nnd tomorrow or tho noxt day wo start for Now York and from thoro take tho Cunard linor Car- jollnn for Alexandria. From thoro I shall trot Frnnk over to tho Sahara and show him n few things. I know that thoy must havo something on him In pumps bocnuso thoy hnvo boon nt pump-making for so many genera tions.

I wont to tako n look ot tho Sphinx; I hnvo a theory that tho Sphinx Is a staluo of n federal judgo ot tho tlmo of Ramcsls. "Later on wo nro going ovor to Jerusalem. I got Myers to consont to this by looking through his books and discovering that somo follow ov er thero onco bought a pump from him. Ho wants to seo what tho chap looks like. From Alexandria Judgo Crosscup and his frlond will go to Cairo, and then' up tho Nllo. "If formor Presldont Roosovelt is on his way back to tho United States by tho tlmo wo get up tho Nllo wo may meet liim," said Judgo Grosscup. "Howcvor," ho added, "I doubt if ho Is on his way homo by that time, or at least whether ho will havo reach- so tar on his homownr.. journey."
