Members of congress Issued 14,000,

The center of population under the

moved far from the present center,
says the Indianapolis Star. This is
not because the population of the Unit

"but because the bulk t. the increase
is not as usual, in the west. There has
been a great addition tq the number
of inhabitants of the southwest, espe
cially in Texas; but on the other hand.

who arrived during tne last few years I

So Long to the "Tin Soldier."."
There is no longer room for the old
and familiar street cry "tin soldier,"
heard not so very many years ago,
whenever bodies of state militia niarcn
ed jauntily along. It has gone with su
perfluous gold lace and fancy uniforms.
The business of being a'voiuiiiter na
tional guardsman has been gradually,
but surely, transformed to the grave
and dignified plane of the regular.
Camp life is no longer a vacation. It
is mostly made up of hard work, with
just enough healthful diversion to
make it attractive.
In one particular there has heen a
decided change, and this is in sanita
tion!. The guardsman who goes into
v-amp today is instructed in the fine art
of keeping well, lie is schooled in
what to cat and where, and what to
drink and what not to drink. Rightly
ord-ered camp life is the healthiest life
on earth. v.. Napoleon, recognized the
principle of keeping his army well fed
and healthy, a3 well as well equipped.
As a result be overawed all Europe.
The Illinois national guard is learn
ing, and learning rapidly, the ways of
the regulars. It is becoming more and
more valuable as a reserve force
which may be depended upon to give
a good account of itself.
Retribution.
A St. Louis man had three wives.
Two killed themselves and "the third
tried it. Now the husband has died
by his own hand. His parents are
wealthy and prominent. Lying be
side his dead body was a religious
work, entitled, "The Mystery of (Jod
Revealed From His Work," and on
an open page it was written, "The
Man of Sin Is Revealed." Can one
imagine the last hours of his life
when, as he toyed with the revolver
with which he shot himself, the rec
ollections of the yearns gone by went
fishing through his mind Pictur
hira conning over his wasted years,
t seeing . the ghastly features of the j
women whom he had driven to de
spair. And then Imagine him plodding
through the-pages of "The Mystery of
God Revealed From His Work." and
writing his confession: "The Man of
Sin la Revealed."
An O. K. for Taft:
John Hays Hammond, greatest
of American mining engineers, - was
quoted In Sunday's press dispatches
as 'warmly and unreservedly como
mendlng the administration of Presl
dent Taft in every particular.
Mr. Hammond la several times a
millionaire, and long ago quit the tri
pod. He Is a member of the Ryan-
Morgan syndicate which secured valu
able concessions in the Congo from
the late King Leopold, which syndi
cate is now engaged in exploiting the
resources of the country, and the
labor of its people.
Doubtless Mr. Hammond has very
large interests in Alaska along with
his partners Morgan and the vjufte,wn
helms. He took so keen an Interest m
Mr. Taft's campaign that he personal
ly subscribed a large part of the cam
paign fund.
His days are largely given' over to
playing golf with Taft at Beverly, and
his nights to dinners with one or an
other man of influence.
It Is an open political secret that
Ballinger was substituted for Garfield
in the interior department at the re
quest of Mr. Hammond.
Naturally, therefore, and as be
comes a grateful man, John Haysf
Hammond is enthusiastic In his praise
of the Taft administration.
And if Ballinger shall go, Mr. Ham
mond is going to be very close to the
president's ear so that he "Shall be

New Yorkers and other Americans

The king would have nothing to do

majesty's. He so exasperated King Ed

hint was conveyed to him by an equer

there was no chance of getting an au

He hopes King George will 'prove

When he was in Diarritz this year he

THE HOPES OF
SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain. In happy ignorance of the political troubles
that beset their father, the two children of King Alfonso and Queen
Victoria are having a glorious summer at this delightful seaside resort. Ev
ery day they may be seen with their nurses at play in the sands, rpmping
about and digging with their little shovels oh the beacb. They are healthy,
cheerful youngsters and great favorites with the other children here.
The Argus Daily Short Story
What a Child Did
Copyrighted, 1910, by
Some say that a mother's love has
more influence for good than any other
kind. Others say that the love be
tween the sexes is most effective. I
think that if good alone is considered
the mother's love is far the stronger.
If both good and evil are Included
sexual love is far more powerful.
I have been moved by both of these
Influences, but the greatest that ever
swayed me was from a child.
I was employed In a bank. One day
I came across a feature in my books
that I didn't understand.. I called the
cashier's attention to it. and be came
over to my desk to look into it. As
soon as he saw what I referred to he
told me tbat be would examine the
matter the nest day.
The following morning, when I took
up my books and turned to those
parts which bud puzzled me the day
before, I saw evidences on certain'
figures of very delicate scratching. I
never scratched entries myself, and
these erasnres surprised me. While
I' was examining the scratched figures
with a little pocket magnifying glass
one of the boys came up to me and
told me tbat the president wished to
see me.
The president was not In the habit
of sending for the clerks, and I natu
rally felt a dread as to what be wished
to see me for. At the same time the
puzzle about my books flashed upon
me, and I felt a sudden vague terror.
I found a man in the president's pri
vate office who seemed to be interested
in my coming. He was not talking to
the president as I entered, but looked
me over as though sizing me up. The
president said to me:
"Mr. Twining, tbere Is a deficiency
of $20,000 in our cash, and there are
evidences in your books of such a loss
having been covered up. It Is my pain-

ful duty to hand you over to the au
thoritiesthat 13. unless you are able
to restore the funds, in which case we
will not prosecute you."
As soon as 1 could get my breath I
denied the charge. Of course my de
nial had no effect. I asked that the
cashier be called, and my request was
granted. He came In. showing no es
pecial concern to one who did not sus
pect him as I did.' I saw evidences.
especially in his eye, that he was car
rying a big load.
"Mr. Wilcox," I said, "did I not call
your attention yesterday before closing
to-an irregularity I had discovered in
my books?"
"You did. but I had not time to In
vestigate it."
"Why." J said, turning to the presi
dent, "should I call attention to a
deficit 1 was attempting to cover up?"
"1 know nothing about what Mr.
Twining wished to call my attention
to," the cashier put in. "For a week
past I have been at work, on my books
nights with a view to discover this
deficiency. He might have wished to
speak of some other matter."
It was'all clear to me. Wilcor pad

once that I was ruiued and broke
down, crying like a baby. This was
considered evidence of my guilt. I
was turned oyer to the man I have
spoken of. who was a constable, taken
to jail and put In a cell.
I told my attorney of my suspicions
as to the guilty party; but. whether be
believed I was mistaken or tbat 1 was
guilty, he made no attempt to throw
the burden on the ca.shier. Perhaps
he thought it better to advocate an
entirely different theory. At any rate,
be made a lamentable failure of my
defense. 1 was convicted and sent to
state prison for ten years.
I never speak or write of that hor
rible period 1 served seven years,
getting off tbree for -pood behavior
because I do not wish to exorcise the
demon It bfgot in ray nature. Upon en
tering tbe prison I formed a resolution
as x what I would do' as soon as I got
out I would kill tbe man who had
ruiued me. My first resolve was to
pick n qunrrel with him. glvlDg him
an wivjn! clinnce with mo for his life
But upon consideration I saw no Jus
tice in this and resolved to kill him
on sight, lint to do this I would have
to suffer death on the gallows or im
prisonment for life. My final plan was
to go to bis bouae at nigbt. kill him
secretly and fly to some foreign coun
try. From this determination I never
swerved.
As soon as I was discharged I went
to the nearest ocean port, learned all
about the sailing of vessels and fixed
the date of my revenge for a day and
hour to enable me to reach a ship just
as she was sailing. Tben I went to
the city where 1 bad been ruined and
where my enemy lived. He was still
cashier of the same bank where I had
been employed and lived in the same
bouse. I surmised tbat he was still
indebted to tbe bank, for be. could not
have m::de restitution without ex
onerating me.
To carry out my plan I must work as
an ordinary criminal. But why not?
This man had placed me before all the
world in the position of a criminal,
and my proposed act would confirm me
in that position. I provided myself
withau auer and a circular saw with
which to gain an entrance into his
house. I took no firearms, only a
sharp knife.
When all was ready I was obliged
to welt for several days to expire be
fore tbe sailing of tbe vessel on which
I intended to leave. During this in
terval I kept continually brooding ou
my ruined life, those terrible years in
prison and the miserable future be
fore me. Tbe result wus that I could
scarcely wait for my revenge. But
the bands of the world's clock never
stop, and at lust the nigbt for mv
work came round.
naving reached Wilcox's house. 1
bored a hole In a rear.door. sawed out
a piece of the panel large enough to
insert my arm and shot tbe bolts. 1
had been in the house when I was em
ployed in the bank and bad recently
taken pains to learn tbat Wilcox slept
in a room by himself and what room
be occupied. .Therefore, though I had
a lantern with mc, I did not expect to
use it.
Nevertheless I found that I must
take risks. Getting luto a room with
which I was not familiar and not hear

I flashed my light in order to get my
bearings. 1 turned it rapidly bereand

Tbevnext thing for that child 'to do

In my heart melting before that baby's

read it always reminds me of tbat
boy's grasp. Then he caught Fight of
a seal ring on my little finger my

apparent to me. Before tbe child's con
fiding smile, his Innocent eyes, under
his waxen touch, the injury I was
intending to do him through bis fa
ther passed back Into tbat horrible im
prisonment from which it bad sprung.
The door that led to tbe adjoining
room opened and Wilcox, in night
clothes, entered. He stared at me for
a few moments, then, recognizing me,
exclaimed :
"Twining: Wbat are you doing
here?"
"I came to kill you. Your boy has
saved your life."
I shall never forget bis agonized ex
pression. "If It were not for blm and hl3 moth

"And for bis and bis mother's sake

and into tbe library.
"Twining." be said brokenly, "you
are a noble fellow."
"I might have been bad you not put
murder into my heart."
"It was I. not yourself, that effected
a temporary change In you. You have
been recalled to wat you were by my
Innocent boy. God grant he may nev
er know that to save myself I ruined
you."
"He never shall know it from me. and
if I can help it be shall never know
it from any one else. I will keep the
secret for him and from him. But that
deficiency is It still a loss?"
"I bave gained tbe money to repay
It long ago. I should bave done so
and had the strength to exonerate you.
but I could not own my meanness."
"You needn't do that now. I will
confess to what I denied. If you wish
to make restitution through me. do so.
T will keep that secret too." .
"Tbere Is a better way. I can send
It anonymously."
And so It was that an Innocent child
saved me from murder, enabled his
father to restore the funds be had
taken and to exonerate me.
