PREDICTS VIGTORY IN 1912.
A Strong Attempt to Bring Peace Into
the Republican Party For the Next
Presidential Campaign Is Being
Made by the Chief Executive.
"Washington, Dec. 28. Friends of the
administration hnve made it known In
an emphatic manner that President
Tali Intends to stand for renomlna
tlon in WIS. They expect Mr. Taft to
have the support of Colonel Roosevelt.
The president now looks forward to a
Kopubliean victory In 11)12. A few
weeks a;o the situation did not look
promising to the president.
It in, of course, out of the question
foi .Mr. Taft to announce his can
Sidney, hut it may be stated on Rood
uuthority that whntever the political
developments of the next few days
may be Mr. Taft's name will be placed
In nomination nt the party Catherine
in 1012.
The president believes that victory
is probable at the next general elec
tion, but he knows that a lone 'mid
hard campaiKii faces the party. He
has MiiMilted many leaders and has
talon thclirst stops toward a recon
ciliation between the reeulnrs and the
insurgents.
According to leaders here, the light
In the convention of 11)12 is likely to
arise between the extreme insurgent
wins and a more conservative but
still progressive faction which shall
stand for President Taft.
Immediately upon his return to the
United States the president held out
the olive branch to the Insurgents.
Seimtors Cummins, Borah. Drlstow
and Representatives Norris. Murdock.
and others classed as insurgents, went
to the White nousc. They were con
sulted not merely in regard to the
pending judicial appointments, but
about legislative matters.
The president had been told that the
reconciliation of the differences be
tween the regulars and the insurgents
was to be the hardest task of the man
who undertook to rehabilitate the
party so that it might face November,
11)12, with confidence. The calling In
of the Insurgents was the first move
of the president to bring about an
era of good fueling among the congress
leaders.

OF MR. JOES.
ONES' recollections of the previ
ous night were indefinite indeed.
Faint gleams of intelligence, fu
gitive as a summer zephyr,
came to him as he sat up in bed, hut
his efforts to retain and formulate
them into entities of thought were fu
tile. He remembered having heard
whistles, cannons, firecrackers aud tin
horns blended in discordant Inhar
mony, while a largo gentleman with a
flush on his face like the aurora borea
lis in the Klondike leaned affection
ately over a table and, grasping his
hand, exclaimed with husky effusive
ness, "Ha'y Noo Ycarsh, ol" chap!"
There were other gentlemen around
the table, and all had flushes on their
faces, but Jones had never seen them
before The portly gentleman with
the beaming countenance, though,
must have been a pretty jolly fellow
He would look him up.
"I)ol: him up!" Jones thought a
moment while both hands pressed
tightly against either side of his ach
ing head "Look him up? Well. I
guess not. This is New Year's. This
is the day I'.ve been looking for. Will
I look lilrn upV Sit still; stay where
you are, my beating, throbbing head.
I shall treat you ns tenderly in the fu
ture as a father does his only twin.
No longer: never again shall ray stom

yet but once, nnd no more aches shall
ride roughshod from frontal bone to
base. Look him up? This Is the day
of good resolutions, the dawn of ref
ormations, the moment of reason
with a mind that sorrows. Look him
up? Oh, Thomas!"
ThomaB responded. Jones was pro
vided with a bath, shaving water,
towels, rearranged clothing nnd break
fast. A modicum of the latter suf
ficed to stay his appetite, not nt all
ravenous, nnd make his head fit the
hat he had worn the night before.
Then he Btood before his dressing
case, gazing nt his rellection in the
mirror.
It was enough. His own image, his
face, his eyes, reproached him for the
excesses of a year. His reformation
Khould be complete. He would not

hand on tlio rtreet and shouted "Samo

thoso things ho would let go by, for

Full of his good resolutions nnd ar

felt good. Who hasn't felt Just that
way on New Year's day? Why shouldn't
he feel good? He was going to be good.
These and other things passed through
the mind of Jones before lie discov
ered that the wind was blowing a gale.
Then he stopped thinking nnd devoted
his entire attention to keeping his hat
on.
On the block going in the same di
rection were seventeen old gentlemen
bent on paying calls on boyhood
friends. Thirty-three pretty young la
dies were also going downtown. Ninety-four
small boys and girls, some with
old gentlemen, some with the pretty
young ladles, some with newspapers to
sell and some with mind intent upon
mischief, were scattered around. The

census of the block also revealed a soli
tary negro, grimy of countenance and
expansive as to mouth, sitting with an
air of breezy insouciance on a brick
cart. Then came Jones' experience.
It was all over in nn instant, aud it
would take a klnetoscope and a Dick
ens properly to depict it. Suddenly
Jones stopped short with an expression
of anticipatory anguish on his face.
As his overcoat Happed In the breeze
both his arms Bhot upward and his
hands were chipped convulsively on his
head. His hat was soaring through
the nir. That derby of the latest block
was bounding over bumps in the at
mosphere at the rate of a million a
minute, and Jones' hair, overlong, was
lluttering. He paused for n moment,
hopeful, expectant, but no help enme.
and he started nfter it.
"Yah, yah, yah!" yelled tho negro on
tho cart, throwing his feet up in nn
ecstasy of mirth as ho saw Jones dash
lng down tho street in pursnlt of the
hat.
"Ho, ho, ho!" laughed the seventeen
old gentlemen, clapping their hands
! nnd dancing around.
"Shriek, shriek, shriek!" came from
i the tlilrty-threo pretty young ladles,
i "Keep n-goin'!" "Eat 'im up, coat

REAL NEW YEAR BELLS.
Some of the Famous Ones That Ring
In ths New Twelvemonth.
In the early days of the American
republic the new year was announced
In Philadelphia by the ringing of what
is now known ns the Liberty bell.
After the events of July A, 17VC
made the bell one of the most price
less relicv of the nation custodians
of Independence hall restricted its use,
fearing come mishap, and nfter 1830
the bell was no longer used for the
new year salute. In 18.TJ, in celebrn
tion of George Washington's birthday,
it was rung and not again for three
years, when, July S, 1835, while the
funeral procession of Chief Justice
Marshall was passing, the boll was
lolled. Suddenly the uote grew discordant.
An Investigation was made. It was
found that a crack had been started.
The bell had completed its task. No
more would it greet the new year or
pay tribute to the nation's great. Rut
from the tower of liberty's cradle an
other bell always welcomes the com
ing of a new year.
Before it collapsed the campanile of
Florence had a set of chimes famous
tho world over. Copenhagen, Ghent,
Amsterdam, Oxford, Rouen and Nu
remberg have bells famous alike for
their beauty and their historical im
portance. All of these are used to
hall the start for n now twelvemonth.
Banyan's bell, No. 4, in tho alphabet
peal, in the tower of Elstow church,
England, Is the Mecca for many an
admirer of the creator of "Pilgrim's
Progress." Bunyan vas noted as a
bell ringer, nnd none could get more
beauty out of these chimes than tho
rough vlllnge blacksmith.
England has always revered Its New
Year peals and the associations they
bring to mind. It is nothing unusunl
for a wealthy member of an English
parish to include in his will a bequest
which shall insure the ringing of a
merry peal on the recurrence of New
Year eve.
One of the most loved bells of Eng
land is that of St. Mary-le-bow, Cheap
side, London, which forms the basis
for a proverbinl expression meant to
convey emphatically n London nntlv
ity, "Born within the sound of Bow
bells."
Oldest of Now Year chimes in the
United States is that of Christ church,
In Philadelphia. Philadelphia was a
colonial town when they wero brought
from England nt great expense and In
stalled, to become one of the wonders
of the city.
It requires eight men to ring these
bells, tho primitive methods still being
adhered to. In .tho modern method tho
player sits In front of a keyboard of
an octavo and n half and plays the
black and white keys as he would a
piano.
An electric motor supplies the power
In this modern form of bells.
The most ancient church bell In the
United States was recently discovered
by Governor M. A. Otero of New Mex
ico. The bell bears date 1355 and
was undoubtedly brought over to this
country by the first Spanish settlers
and used to cll tho early Iudiau con
verts to tho nlsslon services.
As tho ceniarles went by it was
hung successively in a mission church
in ono of the seven cities of Cibola,
'next nt Gran Qulvcrn and finally in
I tho church at Algondenes, where it
I has rested until now.
TRIBETOJA.U V
THE NEW YE
NEW Year, I look straight In your eyes.
Our ways and our Interests blend.
You may bo a foe In disguise.
But I shall bcllt'VH you a friend.
Wo get what we Bivc In our measure;
Wo cannot give pain and get pleasure.
I Rive you good will and good cheer.
And you must return it, New Year.
TX7E get what we give in this life,
' Though often the giver lnded
Walts long upon doubting and strife
Ere proving the truth of his creed.
But somewhere, some way and forever
"I GIVE YOU GOOD "WILTi AND CHEEK."
Iteward is the meed of endeavor,
And if I nm really worth while.
New Year, you will Elvo"me your smile.
A7"OU hide In your mystical hand
J- No luck that 1 cannot control
If I trust my own courage and stand
On tho Infinite strength of ray soul.
Man hides in his brain and his spirit
A power that Is godlike, or near It,
And ho who has measured his force
Can govern events In their course.
"VTOU come with a crown on your brow,
New Year, without blemish or jpot,
Yet you and not I, sir, must bow,
For Time Is the servant of Thought.
Whatever you bring me of trouble
Shall turn into good and then double
If my spirit looks up without fear
To the source that you came from, New
Yeai.

A New Year's Hop Song.
Brother, listen here a little to tho song of
one who knows
Why the ripple's on the river and tho red
is on the rose-
One to whom a volco has whispered while
his heart stood still to hear
Why th bloom Is on the bramble, why
love's sunshine gilds tha tear.
Listen; 'tis a humble message brief as
we would wish our cares,
Sweet as soft played twilight music steal
tng o'er us unawares.
This It is tho richest reaping of reward
your toll will bring
When you think nobody listens to tho llt-
tlo songs you sing.
"Tls the nlghtlngalo Imprisoned in tho fast
licss of a cage.
Whero no answering Philomela's notes his
pining may assuage
His tho song that sways tho heartstrings
with the loneliness it breathes.
His the power that the poet hath In
twined with laurol wreuths.
Crying out against the darkness, praying
ror un echoed call.
In a thrilling, throbbing cadence hear his
pleadings rlso und fall.
So Cod lets us think our music on a cat
lous world wo lling
Lets us think nobody listens to the little
songs wo King-
Courage, brothers, while a clamor from
the busy world may rise.
filling nil tho eonglCBs spaces 'neath the
overarching skies.
While we feel our llttto murmur may be
heard by none but us.
Sing, sing on, though hearts may falter;
it 13 boat we labor thus.
Somo one hero or there or yonder hears
no sound cmtd It all
But the cadence of our carols as they
bravely rise and fall,
And the very hopo It yearns for to soma
weary soul may bring
While you think nobody listens to the lit
tie books you sing.
