AS OENTLEMEN. Ai cording to a spooial in it Kopulilitan paper, iloosevelt and ttie Repiil)li tin meniia'is of the senate litiviconi promised, and there will he no message on asbestos paper. On the contrary the article states that Roosevelt will address the senator "as one gentleman speaking to another." This is a remarkable statement. Does it imply that previon messages have been written in a tone that would indicate that they were not composed by a gentleman.’ Does it mean what the New York Sim plainly said, that the president was not eligible to membership in a club where gentlemen were admitted? Or does it imply that the sen ators receiving the previous messagt were not gentlemen, and now are t > be treated as such for courtesy's sake? The fact that messages hav< been written that make such an art iele and such interpretations possild is a source of shame to every Arnet - lean. It there are men in the senat> who have been known to be evildoers, caught in the act by secret service men in the employ of the president, then the compromise criminal. If the senate is not guilt\ as implied in the message, then it is cowardly to compromise. The me-: age having been written reqnin that one side or the other show it truth, that one side of the other vindicate itself. If the senate is guilt \ then the president is remiss to let t lie guilty go unexposed. If the senate is innocent, then is it cowardly to compromise with one who slanders it. The whole situation is had.

< oncerililig Our Assets. The aggregate of waste In all mineral products for the last year amounted to about f 1,000,000 a day. *1 his is the amazing indictment of the national conservation commission against twentieth century methods of American business. Enough natural gas is wasted every day to light all the cities in the country lontaining over lun.uoo inhabitants. This is another count of the indictment. in six years, if the waste keeps up. the aggregate will equal in 'nine the entire mineral production of last year, which amounted to $ ?,000,000,000. Experts declare that the coal apply will he used up by the middle of the next century and that long before that time this country will have to pay famine prices for fuel, 'lie iron ore, the same experts say, will last until the middle of the l i ri nt century. These periods are rief in the history of a nation. What will come after that? Some a\ that substitutes for iron and '•oai will be found. This may prove tin", lint it must bo remembered that the nations of Europe that have di.-sipated their resources have not yet found these substitutes. lit England, (ierniany, anu other countries one problem that is foremost in ih< legislative bodies is how to care for tin armies of the unemployed. It is I'cconiing the world's predominant iroMeni, and the nations are as far from solving it today as when they liegaii. In the opinion of many economists, the problem will never be solved in countries which do not have an abundance of natural rer on ices. Washington, (1). C.) Post.

laiinli Discusses Case. When asked what he thought of the sentence of the labor leaders, .Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell, to fine and imprisonment by Judge Wright of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, Mr. John E. | Lamb said: "I am not entirely familiar with the facts or the law of this case but I the sentence reminds me of a statement i heard made a number of | years ago by the great New England Senator George F. Hoary of Massachusetts after the death of John Hoyle O'Reilly, the great Irish poet. Senator Hoar said: “I am not thoroughly inormed as to the political difference existing between England ind Ireland hut I confess that a government which found it necessary to send as sweet a character at John Hoyle O'Reilly to jail upon the pretense of preserving its institutions does not get much sympathy from me." This about expresses my opinion in the case at liar. "Whether the sentence of Comport and .Mitchell, both of whom 1 know personally, is just or not, 1 am not prepared to say, but I do not hesitate to express the opinion that there is something radically wrong with existing conditions in this country which makes it necessary to line and imprisontwo such men as Samite] Gompers and John Mitchell .who have earned and who have enjoyed the respect and confidence of millions of people throughout the land without respect to creed or party.”— Terre Haute Tribune.

Fresh. There was no doubt about it. He was very angry when he entered (hr village gnu a ry store and demanded to see the proprietor. “You sold ni' wife some eggs yester day, Mr. I’eavey,” he said when th ■ grocer appeared. “Waal, yes,” said Mr. I’eivey genially, “believe 1 did.” “And you told her that tliej were fresh eggs,” continued the visitor. "Waal, yes: it seems to me 1 did.” said Mr. I’eavey. “But, see here, I’eavey, you had no business to say they were fresh eggs " “Why not? I bought ’em for fivsii frOUl Si Wiley too.” “I don’t believe It. Si Wiley’s an honest mall.” "Waal, Si said it. all right.

Just His Luck. “William, Freddie informs me that his teudi t has decided to advance him from the sixtli to the seventh grade owing to liis fine deportment and Ids praiseworthy attention to his studies.” “Pshaw!

"Of course 1 can understand my w ife's position In the case," the judge said. "She wants her only daughter to marry a man with money, and you haven't ati.v. So this is my plan: I'll settle a good round sum ou you, ami you can say it came from a rich relative. Then my wife will he satisfied. You can marry Roxane and live happy ever after." “Oh”—Oliver’s face was bright with hope—“you are very good, sir!” "But you mustn't tell Roxane where you got the money.” the judge pur sued. "She couldn’t keep It from her mother.” “But I ought not to deceive my future wife.” The judge bunged a heavy fist on his desk. “Don't be foolish," he said sternly. “It's the only way." “But"— Then before Oliver could proceed with his objection a clear voice asked. "May I come in?" “Roxane!” exclaimed the two men. She • " i be. if ti' n the threshold, ax .. with her fair hair puuxi out under i plumed hat. “Mother js waiting Li tV motor,” she said breathlessly. "\' ■ are on our way to the charily bazaar, and I want some money.” The judge kissed her. “Now it’s Oliver’s turn.” lie teased. “Oh, father,” she reproached him, with a sob, "you know Oliver and I have had to break our engagement l>eeause mother won't hear of it!” And she hid her face on the Judge's shoulder. The judge glanced at Oliver. “Tell her," he < < minanded, and Hie boy begin a halting tale. As he proceeded Roxane interrupted “You mean that some one lias left you a fortune?" Oliver nodded. “Where did be live?" “I’m not sure," the boy stammered. “I wouldn't inquire too closely into it. Roxane," the judge advised hurriedly. "The les:: said about that relative of Oliver's the better.” With her face shining, the girl went swiftly to her lover. "Oh, Oliver. OH ver,” she said, “how happy I am!” For a moment he hesitated; then he gathered her Into his arms. “It’s worth everything to know that you are mine, Roxane.” he said huskily. The rustle of silk skirts-In the ball brought him out of his rhapsody. “It's your mother,” warned the judge, and when the rather stout lady in mauve entered she found two solemn young people on each side of the judge’s desk. That Roxane’s plumed hat was slightly over one ear and that a golden hair strayed across Oliver's coat collar were details which escaped her. “I ilu tulit Roxane was never coining down,” she panted. “1 found Oliver here,” Roxane explained. "and, oh, mother, a rich rolntive has left him a fortune." “A f' no Oliver!” scoffed t he stout lady “ Wiiy, he hasn't a rich relative hi the world.” “The tact remains, my dear,” the judge asserted blandly, ‘‘that he has had a fortune left him by n distant cousin.” “What cousin?” was the demand. “You needn’t tell mw, James.” “Tut, tut,” the judge cautioned. “Don't accuse the hoy of lying.” “I'm not accusing anybody,” Mrs. Vandiver stated. “I merely asked you what cousin. James.” The judge mopped itis forehead. The sudden arrival of the ladies of his household had not given him time to perfect details. “I'm not sure of the name, Abble, he staintuered. “Perhaps Oliver can satisfy you.” But Oliver weakened. “I think Mrs. Vandiver is right,” he said unsteadily. ‘Tntil I can offer satisfactory proof of my good fortune it will be well for me to give up Roxane." “Oliver!” The wall was from his betrothed, but he went on. “There may be some mistake.” “Of course.” said Mrs. Vandiver, with aggravating sureness. “Come on, Roxane.” And she dragged her unwilling captive from the room. Left alone, the conspirators stared at each other. "Now you've done It,” said the Judge disgustedly. “Why couldn’t you bluff It out?” “Not with-Roxane’s trusting eyes on me,” said Roxano’s lover. “Well, if you knew Roxane's mother as well as I do,” the judge growled, “you would know that it’s the only hope.” After a depressing silence Oliver ventured, “Perhaps If you approached her differently you might get better results." The judge smiled. “How do you mean?" Oliver blushed. “Oh, well. I’ve sometimes thought, sir, that if you appealed to your wife's sense of romance"— “Abbie's sense of romance!” the judge ejaculated. “You iliust have some memories that would make her feel tenderly toward you—toward us"— “It lias been so long," the Judge murmured mid found himself suddenly curious ns to when he had ceased to think of Abide ns the princess In bis fairy talc. When had he censed to write sonnets to her ringlets, odes to her eyebrows? “You see, I’m afraid we’re beyond

romance,” he murmured. “She wouldn't understand." “It seems to me.” said the wise young Daniel, "that n woman Is never too old to resist an appeal to her heart.” The Judge pondered. "1 asked her to marry me on Oct. 15 twenty-two years ago ” 'There,” Oliver exclaimed, "and today is the 1-Rli. and tomorrow is an anniversary. Oh, you’ve got to take advantage of that. Judge.” “I took her to ride in my buggy,” the Judge rambled on sheepishly. “There was a big round moon"— He stopped suddenly. “But of course we’ve grown sensible since then,” he said wistfully. ‘Well, you just ask her to go tomorrow." Oliver recommended, and then the Judge gave In. The next evening he presented himself at the dinner table armed with a long paper box. “For you, my dear,” he said to bis wife as she came in with Roxane. heavy eyed and pensive. The box, being opened, showed rosy carnations. ‘The nearest tiling I could get to pinks,” the judge explained. “Why pinks?" his wife demanded. “Abble,” he reproached, “have you forgotten that twenty-two years ago you wore pinks”— Mrs. Vandiver’s expansive features expressed a blank surprise. “What happened twenty-two years ago?” “I know,” Roxane Interrupted. There's the picture on father’s desk you have on a blue dress and a bunch of pinks—you said you looked that way when he asked you to marry him.” The blush that stole up toward Mrs. Vandiver's gray curls gave her a curious look of youth. "Why. James,” she faltered, “did you really remember?" “Yes,” said the jndge, feeling that had he never forgotten life would have held deeper meanings. Mrs. Vandiver came around and kissed her husband. “Thank you, dear,” she said, with a gentleness that made Roxane stare. After that il was not hard to propose a ride by moonlight, and Mrs. Vandiver, consenting, came down in a blue .gown that became her elderly plumpness almost as well ns that other blue g' wn had set off her girlish figure. The judge's electric runabout replaced tin' buggy of long ago, and ns they went quickly through the city and out Into the country roads that astute gentleman refrained from any mention of Oliver and Roxaue. All his talk was of things of the past. “How happy we were, Abble,” he said at last, and his wife responded wistfully, “Very happy, James.” A golden moon hung above the dark line of the hills. The air was sweet with the spiciness of the pines. The Judge was thrilled with bygone emotions, and his arm was comfortably about his wife’s waist. Then iu the rapture of the restoration to her place of romance of the Abide of long ago he forgot Oliver forgot Roxane. He was brought back with a shock when Mrs. Vandiver said as they turned toward home: “Eve been thinking of Roxane. If she really loves Oliver I don't know but 1 ought"— “Of course you ought,” said the judge promptly. “Give them your blessing, and let them be as happy as we are.” "I am afraid that Oliver lias been fooled by some of those firms who hunt up lost heirs,” the lady pursued. “Of course Oliver was sincere, but I don't think much of the fortune story.” “No,” mendaciously, "it didn’t seem probable.” "You can settle something on them after they are married,” said Mrs. Vandiver. “We haven't any one to leave It to but Roxane—and—and it would be nice to have them engaged on the same day that we were, Jimmie." Jimmie! The magic of the youthful appellation made the judge feel like a colt. "Let's get them married and you and I will go off and have another honeymoon.” he proposed Jubilantly. “We will have the time of our lives.” The ripple that came from his wife’s lips was a sliver echo of the golden laughter of other days. “We will,” she said and lifted her face to him in the moonlight, “and now let’s go right home and tell the children, Jimmie.”
