Nothing that would indicate that Theodore Roosevelt was anything but president of these United States. On March Ith, Congressman Rob inson will have served the twelfth distriot for four terms in congress. He says that after eight years of congressional life my ambition will be gratified by u quiet, unobtrusive practice of the law and the repayment of the debt of gratitude 1 owe to my party and friends , by a freed >ni of the duties and obligations of official life, that end I shall establish myself in the practice of my profession at Fort Wayne and enjoy the sweets of quiet, simple life. ’ ’ _____ William Jennings Bryan has publicly stated that he will assist in de ’ testing any democratic senator or representative who refuses to assist President Roosevelt in his endeavor ■ to secure legislation bv congress 1 to regulate by cotgre<s the I railroad freight ra:es.

MATCHING THE LINNETS. O<l«l «««! In tbv feluttiM nt l itndiiU. tn the little, swarming »trect< off \\ lihcchupel roud. duwn through Shoreditch tind Bethnal Green, linnet singing is the pastime of thousands and the buslhc-o of scores of men who will bet theuiseKes to it standstill over the sweet vokasl rivalries of two wee browu birds caged on the wail of some public house whose reputation makes respectability timorous of Intrusion. The hard faced "cast ruder." whose chief Joy Is a bloody "limited round go" In tlie prise rlug of a resort In Whitechapel, may he seen next night lu the buck room of another "pub," altting In hix-atlile's silence and behind locked doors, with a hundred of his kind, wlille his linnet slugs a match for "pleasant song" and a stake of lu shillings a side. When the referee says "Now!" the watch is started, but this does not menu that the birds are yet engaged in any rivalry. They sit on their little perches In silence, and the crowd sits in silence watching them, rre-eiitly one of the rivals pipes up his opening lay. This is called the "load off." The first note of a song Is calle 1 the "clitic kle." I’erhnps the bird which makes the "lead off" may stop with this “chuckle" cud uot finish his song. The stimulus is enough to start the other bird, however. :>nd lie in turn makes his '•chuckle" and then without n break performs the whole of bls repertoire of ten "pleasant songs." The sulky bird is frenaied at tills superiority mid to make up for lost time slugs as if its heart would break. Both scorer., art' busy now “chalking the scon's" ns fast as their j»eneils*can fly. To the untrained ear the torrent of piping notes Is hopelessly intermingle I. and even when one bird is singing alone it is |mi*os.sihle to tell where one song ends and another Is-gins. This sweet piping absorbs the attention of the audience. while Just beyond the closed door a horde of bloated men and slatternly women are drinking themselves more sodden, with blasphemous and vulgar merriment. Tlie birds are all of purity and sentiment and sweetness that can lie found in this east end “pub.’' and they sing as gladly as if green fields were their ‘uvirouu,ent.—Outing. stopnen the n«iw. in the sixteenth century. It is alleged, there was a successful effort made to stop rain by the use of gunpowder Benvenuto Cellini tells us in bis memoirs that when Margaret of Aus trla entered Home it rained heavily "I pointed several large pieces of ar tiliery In tlie direction where the clouds were thickest and whence a del tige of water was already pouring, then when 1 began to fire tlie rain stopped, and at the fourth discharge the sun shone ”
