AFTER the 4 ti of March nrxi
there wlli be euiiblderabie
shifting of the scenes hf the
world of poiltlrs even thong!
not as much as If the recent electloi
had resulted in n change In the admin
1st rat ion from the Republican to thi
Democratic party. Some of the vet-
eran politicians will retire some will
change places some new men will
come to the front. Curious situations
have been created too by the results
In some of the state; such as Indiana
whero a Democratic governor'aud leg-
islature were elected though the elect-
oral vote of the state will be cast for
Taff and Missouri where the Demo
cratic majority in the next legislature
probably means the choice of William
J. Stone Democrat as senator despite
the fact that Taft carried the state
and Herbert S. Hndley Republican
won the governorship away from ex-
Congressman Cowherd Democrat.
There Is much Interest among aspi-
rants for cabinet and 'diplomatic hon-
ors under President Elect Taft In .the
question of what EHhu Root secre-
tary of state. Is going to do. It Is un-
derstood that Judge Taft would be
pleased If Mr. Root would continue In
his present post If he decides to re-
tire to private life nnd resume the
lucrative legal practice be gave up to
become Mr. Roosevelt's secretary of
state It may be that Dr. David Jayne
Hill will take the vacant jxtst. There
tAVIIi JaTNK iull
Is talk of both Dr. Hill and Secretary
KKt In connection with Thomas C
Piatt's seat lit tin? senate which will
be filled by the legislature chosen at
the recent election. If Mr. Root re-
tires or Is chosen senator Ambassador
Whltclaw Reld. s iwilItJeat gossips
say may" become the "next head of' tLrt
state department. In that event ft is
probable that Vle Iresldent . Fair
banks will take Mr. Hold's place as
ambassador at tbe xmrt of St. James.
It Is said that he covets this honoc-ond
that the president elect would bo .very
glad to give It to Win.
The record made by Dr. Hill In tho
various ists abroad to which lie has
been assigned under reeept adminis-
trations hns won him an exception-
ally high reputation as a diplomat a
scholar nnd an authority on Interna
tional law. Ills present post .of am
bassador to Germany Is one in which
he has thus far .given much satisfac
tion despite the rather embarrassing

shrewd politician nnd a great fighter.
As leader of what Is known ns the
"Stone fnctlon" be has bobbed up se
renely time and again when the so
called '"reform faction" thought they
had him burled deep nnd out of the
way for good.
Despite the nlmost united opposition
of the entire Missouri press Stone
hns battled successfully agalnet such
odds as would make a Weaker man
throw up his hands.
Even shortly prior to his election in
1892 to the governorship Stone wns
thought to have been relegated to tbe
rear nnd so again in 1002 when ho
was elected to tbe
senate to succeed

Fearful Torture.
Some years ago I was a teacher In
Afghanistan and during my stay In
that country I was often an unwilling
witness of some horrible exhibitions
of torture. Hero Is one they use in the
case of women to extract testimony.
It consists In prying off tho finger
nails by means of a small chisel or
brad awl which Is shoved In slowly
but firmly from the finger tip down-
ward under tho quick of the nail which
Is then lifted up nnd out
This Is another that I once saw used
In the case of a small child who would
not own up to some petty theft: Sticks
were thrust between Its lingers and
the fingers then squeezed together so
that the sticks crushed Into the bones.
So much ' for women and children.
Here Is a method of eliciting informa-
tion from an unwilling man: Tho cul-
prit is stripped to the waist and then
boiling oil is flicked on to bis back.
This seldom falls to find the man's
tongue.
Tho above are the chief forms of
"fahana." or torture for the purpose
of eliciting lnfonnntion. but It must
be stated that such inflictions ns nip-
ping of noses tearing out tongues or
splitting eyeballs do not come under
the bending of "fahana." they being
punishments rather than tortures.

Duchesse and Anarchist.
Upon one occasion the Duchesse
d'Uzes and Louise Michel met at tho
bedside of a poor sick woman whom
they were mutually aiding. They met
here frequently for-n brief period. The
woman died. Louise Michel who was
present at the death wrote to the
duchesse: "Madame Our poor friend Is
dead. I have looked among her few
belongings for a souvenir for you.
Here is a small piece of passementerie
done by her bands. Accept It"- A
few- days afterward Mme. la Duchesse
d'Uzesj nee Mortemnrt. went to the
home of Louise MlcheL tbe anarchist
a bizarre abode at Levallols where
the poor found always both a good
word and a piece of bread to thank
tho "red virgin" for her letter and her
gift A friendship so was cemented
between the oddly assorted pair that
was later not without result hi the
operation of the most gigantic charity
of the Duchesse d'Dzes Boulaagerism.
Harper's Bazar.
He Left at Once.
Ho bad. been worshiping her for
months but bad .never told her and
she didn't want him to. He had come
often and stayed late very late and
she could only sigh and hope. He was
going away the next day on a holiday
and he thought the last nfjsht was the
time to spring the momentous ques-
ion. ne kept it to himself however
until the last thing. It was 11:30 by
the clock and It was not a very rapid
clock.
"Miss Mollle." he said tremulously.
"I am going away tomorrow."
"Are you?" she said with the thought-
lessness of girlhood.
"Yes" he replied. "Are you sorry?'
"Yes. very sorry." she murmured.
"I thought you might go awajr this
evening."
Then he gazed at the clock wistfully
and said good night London Scraps.
Cigar Smoke.
The stale smell of cigar smoke is
peculiarly unpleasant and peculiarly
difficult to get rid of. It clings to the
curtains and to most of the articles of
furniture which present any sort of an
absorbent surface. It is not so to the
same extent with cigarettes or with
pipes in tbe case even of a single
cigar books papers and textiles reek
of Its Btaje flavor and the room re-
quires aHundant airing before that fla-
vor is completely eliminated. This ef-
fect we are told may be traced to the
fact that a cigar produces pungent
aromatic oils In greater abundance
than a cigarette or a pipe. With the
cigarette oils are probably burnt even
If they are formed while In the pipe
they condense In the stem. In the
clgan they seem to be chiefly discarded
Into the air. In the form of a cigar
tobacco would appear to produce more
oils than In the form of n cigarette
or when burnt In a pipe. London Lan-

CoinmjMlore Perry had not yet elec-
trified a grateful nation with his Im-
mortal iBessage. "We have met the en-
emy and they ae ours." While the
battle was in progress the sound of
the '.guns was heard at Cleveland
abotr sixty miles away In a direct Hue
over the water. The few settlers there
were. Expecting the battle nnd listened
with . Intense interest Finally the
sounds ceased. They waited for a re-
newal. None en me; the lull was pain-
ful. Theu they knew the battle was
over; but the result ah. that was the

lying flat with his ear to the ground

he clapped his hands and shouted:
"Thank God! They are whipped!
They nre whipped:"
"How do you know?" the i others In-
quired. "Heard the big guns last!"1
