Perhaj>8 no mistake among the many mistakes make by President Roosevelt has so stirred the rank and file of the Republicans as his attempt to nominate his sin essor. I>ike many another man lie counted too far on his popularity. He believed ihimself so sure of his place with the people that anything ho might do would be applauded. He therefore. attempted to control national politics doing “what he thought best for the nation". But American people love the right to mix in things for themselves. Especially do they dislike am thing in the form of dictation. For tills reason the Roosevelt fight upon Hughes and Foraker not only turned men aiway from Roosevelt and his protege, Taft, but actually turned them towards Hughes and Foraker. As a result the President has thought better of the matter, and “will grant Mr. Hughes the right to try for the nomination”. We imagine that the people of the country will take the matter out of the President’s hands and decide 't for themselves. The Republican party, lias long been machine rftden, but this attempt, both nationally and in Kentucky, has opened the eyes of the

people as never before.

MARRIAGE BY CONTUACT. American girls are becoming wise, not in their old age. but in their dealings with that species of evolved ape known as a fortune hunting count. Miss Van'erbilt inis just married one. undeterred, so it would seem, by the fate of her relative, Consuelo. But a glance at the mariage contract makes all plain. There is no pretense that it is a marriage for love. She has purchased a title, and is taking it on trial. None of her money is to go to the husband, except as she doles it out. And this In spiteof the law of Austria-Hungary making the property of the wife ibsolutely that of the husband. Kite will leave her property at home, and take only the interest on it abroad. If she dies it reverts to the American family. Thus will she keep the count on his good behavior. She willnotpay all hds debts at once, but keep him sufficiently embarrassed, financially, to insure good behavior. She will act as his paying teller, so to speak. In return for funds he must put up the social functions us col’iteral. No society, no funds. There is a standing warning that any attempt to run domestic affairs on the plan of Count Boni will cut off the bank account. It is a far sighed contract.

“Is it true that your father’s bank cannot stand the run?” asked Sydney Ware. Eunice Whitehead nodded. “Dad says that he cannot meet the run before the current funds will become exhausted.” said. “That means that the bank will have to be closed down. He is solvent, but he sent too much of the currency to town to be put out at the high interest they are paying jtow.” “The run is only on the savings department,’’ said Sydney. “That should not bother him much.” “It will break his heart,” she returned, “if the bank has to close down even for a couple of days. Dr. Dunnkam says that he is afraid it will give father a shock which will leave Its permanent imprint on him.” “He can make Ids home with us if the bank fails,” said Ware. “It may be for the best, so far as we are concerned.” “That’s what I came to talk to you about,” said Eunice gravely. “If the bank falls, Syd. I shuil have to give you up, dear. Father would never consenrTo share a home with a Ware, and I could not leave him.” “You were willing enough to leave him last week," suggested Sydney. “That was before the trouble came,” she reminded. "Then lie had his bank and ids friends. If he loses one, he will probably lose most of the others, and my place is with him.” Sydney nodded gloomily. Thirty years before Joshua Whitehead and Cyrus Ware had been rival suitors for the hand of pretty Nellie Morion. Whitehead had won, and Ware had never forgiven him his victory. Whitehead had then Just founded the First Na‘ tional bunk of Carrsvllle, and Ware had drawn ids funds from the bank

“so IT APFKAKS THAT YOU ABE GOIJJO AWAY,” SAJI) CYliUS. and had vowed that he would never patronize the institution. Such banking as lie had done was transacted through an institution in the next town, but Ware had conceived a distrust for all banks, and most of the large fortune which he had accumulated was stored in gold and bills and bonds in the huge vault in the knitting mills, a vault as large and ns safe as that In the bunk. But In tlie second generation the feud was not carried ou. Eunice Whitehead and Sydney Ware had fallen in love with each other and, realizing the uselessness of asking parental sanction, had agreed to elope and seek forgiveness afterward. To Eunice it seemed almost a punishment for her contemplated sin that the run on the bank should have commenced the very day they had set for their marriage. Instead of meeting Sydney with her suit case in hand she had come to tell him that her place was by her father in his hour of trou-

ble.

Mrs. Whitehead had died shortly after her little daughter was born, and Eunice had bravely striven to take the place of her gentle mother in her father’s house. She could not leave him in his extremity even for the' man she loved. For awhile lliey sat on the fallen trunk which formed the seat in their rustic parlor. Vainly Sydney sought to urge the girl to Ids views, but he could not shake her resolution, and Eunice had just risen to go when there came the sound of some one crashing through (lie underbrush, and Cyrus Ware came into view. Uis eyes flashed as he caught sight of the suit case that Sydney had brought with him, and lie turned to his son. “So it appears that .you are going away,” said Cyrus. “1 suppose that this young woman is to be your companion in your travels. She will need some one to support her now that her father lias wrecked Ids bank.” “He has not wrecked Ids hunk, and I am not going away with Sydney,” cried Eunice, with spirit. “Dad is afraid that he cannot meet tlds run and will have to shut the doors, but he did not wreck the bank. He will be aWe to pay dollar for dollar. 1 was

going to elope with Sydney, but now my place Is by my father’s side, aud 1 came to tell Syd that I could not go.” “But you were willing to sneak away like a couple of thieves and be married secretly." taunted Cyrus. “1 suppose that the plan was yours and you entangled this boy.” “That is not so.” said Sydney hotly. “It bus taken me n year aud more to persuade Eunice to elo[>e. We knew that there was no use asking either her father or mine, aud we did not see why your absurd stubbornness should spoil our happiness.” Cyrus stared at his son. Like most men of dominant personality, he secretly admired spirit in others. It was the first time that Sydney had ever taken so bold a stand against a parental edict, and tie felt a thrill of satisfaction even while he spoke. “I guess you'll find happiness without having to go to Josh Whitehead’s daughter for it,” he said harshly. “I want a girl I can recognize as my daughter, not the child of a hank wrecker.” Eunice sprang forward at the taunt "You are a nasty, wicked old man!” she cried. “You know that you are saying what is not true. I believe that you started ftlis run because you knew that most of the country banks Ifad sent their surplus to the city to take advantage of the money market. It Is you who are a bank wrecker. I hate you!” She stamped her foot to emphasize her words, and something in the gesture brought back to Cyrus’ memory a far earlier day when these same words were spoken. He and Josh and Nellie had been out nutting—three children with no thought of marriage. He had killed a bird with n stone and had brought it to Nellie, proud of his prowess. Instead of the praise he had expected, she turned on him and scolded him for his wanton act. Eunice in her anger was very like her mother, and the whole scene came back to him as vividly as though it had been an occurrence of the very day Instead of a reminiscence of forty years and more. He looked into the eyes that were so like those he had loved In the long ago and partly turned away. For the first Jime he realized why Whitehead had ^Von. Nellie had admired his gentleness even while she feared Cyrus’ roughness. Perhaps, after all, he, Cyrus, had been more to blame for his loss than had his old playfellow. “You two go on w'th v ir spooning," he said gruffly, and 1 could uot see that the shrewd gray eyes were filled with tears. Cyrus stumbled blindly along the half defined path that led to the road. He was living over again his boyhood days, and he found therein much to regret. There was a howling mob about the hank. The employees of half a dozen big mills had taken the day off to rescue their money from the fancied danger, and they clamored about the doors. As fast as those in the bank obtained their money they were let out and others were admitted. The tellers were paying out as slowly as possible in the hope of being able to tide over the day. On the morrow they might expect help from the city. Cyrus Ware stamped his way up the steps, the crowd giving way before him. The watchman at the door let him In at once, and, without explanation, Ware pushed his way into the president’s office, where Whitehead puzzled over long columns of figures. He did not hear Ware’s entrance, and not until Cyrus’ hand fell upon his shoulder did he look up. “Josh.” lie said thickly, “I’ve been a blamed fool for more years than 1 care to remember, hut that’s no sign I’ve got to keep on to the end of my days. I’ve got about $100,000 out there In my wagon. 1 want to open an account.” For a moment Whitehead glanced Into the other man’s face and saw lu his «yes (lie mute appeal for reconciliation which Cyrus could not frame In words. Their hands met in a clasp that wiped away the memory of bitter years, and together they went out of the office to where a guard of men stood over the boxes. Already the news that Cyrus Ware was going to deposit had broken the rush, and the crowd tiad materially lessened. The two men stood ou the step superintending the removal of the currency. Cyrus passed Whitehead a cigar. “I’m glad I’ve squared up old accounts In opening a new one,” he said, with a ponderous effort at carelessness. “You see, our young people are planning to get manied." \ Repairing Clocks. “Watch repairers have a horror of touching ,i clock that has been tinkered by amateurs, 1 ’ explained a watch repairer to a reporter, “and they would rather get out of such a job if they can do so, for the loss of oue of the smallest parts means considerable work to reproduce it, and much more work thau the general customer expects or wants to pay for. They try to get rid of such a Job when they can, for in nine cases out of ten the result Is not entirely satisfactory. People who have a good clock, unless they know' something about the way clocks are made aud how they should be taken apart, will do the wise thing to let it alone when it gets out of order. Experimenting with it often means the ruin of the clock. It Is absolutely dangerous to try to unwind a mainspring, as men have discovered for themselves. unless the proper tools are handy. Now, a clock repairer has a contrivance known as a spring controilej 1 which grasps the spring aud holds it while being taken out or ppt Into the clock, so that there Is no danger. The spring for an eight day clock Is often two yards long, and when suddenly let free it flies out with nearly the force a charge of shot from a gun.”

A PUMA CUB.

Me Wat Plucky, but Paid For His ^ Temerity With His Life. Hissing like a sullen geyser, the great puma mother crouches with flaming eyes. Riffw of her tawny back brushed up in rage, tail a-switch, steel sinews rigid beneath soft skin, she glared at her four cubs in the cage corner. A fluffy ball of spotted fur sprawled on unsteady legs aeross toward her. Out shot a mighty fore paw; the baby was hurled suddenly back among his cowering brothers aud sisters. “Nasty temper," 1 remarked to the keeper. “Has she been long like that?” “Started this forenoon.” He shook his head in anxiety. “1 don’t like It. I’ll have to separate them, 1 fear.” The unnatural mother commenced pacing her prison, sparring viciously at her offspring in passing. Three huddled together in a pitiful heap, but one stood up and defied her. A jungle terror in miniature, his tiny rage was magnificent. Tensely alert before his trembling mates, he shifted warily to meet each blow, dodging, spitting, striking out an awkward paw at the great thrusts. "They don’t turn on their cubs often. Only knew it once before. You notice, mein herr, her claws are not out when she strikes. That may come; then we will lose some promising babies here.” The young German keeper was greatly distressed. I returned lu the morning to see how the affair had progressed. Entering the Frankfurt Thiergarteq, I found the lion house. My friend stood in the empty corridor looking Into the cage. Sleek forms shifted restlessly ou every side; a pale light came from above; the place was close witli a heavy odor. He greeted me mournfully. “The little lieggar was too spirited. She got him last night. Just a second in her jaws, and the taxidermist won’t attempt to stuff the skin.” The remaining cubs peered wonderingly at us from an adjoining cage; the murderess paced In silence, but her eyes were alive with a strange fascinating light. The tragedy had stirred the rows of imprisoned beasts. An uncanny howl in a chilling key came from the leopards; the lion's deep throated guttural seut unwelcome quivers through one's nerves. I left the building, relieved to feel the breeze and see the sunlight. Poor little chap of a puma, he surely had tremendous jiluck!—Travel Magazine.

A PRESENT DAY UTOPIA. Moors'* lc!s;.d, the Happiest and Fairest Spot on Earth. Hugo Parton, writing in the Outing Magazine, says (hat the happiest and most ’beautiful spot on earth today is the Island of Moorea, oue of the Society islands, in the soutli s>ns. As a contrast to strenuous American mpthods this description sounds alluring: “Whenever you are thirsty a word will send a lithe brown body scrambling up a tall palm tree trunk, and in two minutes a green cocoanut is ready for you to quaff—tlie nectar of the Polynesian gods. It Is worth tlie trip down here to eat the native ‘vittals,’ for you get at every meal things you never tasted before, and each seems better than its predecessor; to see your dinner of fresh water shrimps, sharks' fins and roasted sea urchins. The bananas you eat—there are eleven varieties—baked, raw, fried, dried—grow n few rods bark in the valley; ditto the breadfruit, tlie pineapples and about everything else on the hoard. It's nice to have your morning coffee grown in the back yard. Guavas grow in such profusion they are used ns pig food, grated cocoanut is fed to hens, while sensitive plant is considered excellent fodder for cattle. “For perfection of the human body the Tahitian is unexcelled, if, indeed, he is anywhere equaled. They are a large race, both men and women being noticeably taller and more fully de veloped than Anglo-Saxons. I doubt If any Society islander ever went through a whole day lu his life without having a wreath of flowers ou his head or a blossom behind his ear. The love of flowers is Innate with man. woman and child. They caitR pass through a patch of woods without emerging with a garland. Every gay mood calls for flowers on their hats, in their hair, behind their ears, and their life Is an almost unbroken sequence of gay moods. Scarcely a native on the Island of Moorea can speak a sentence of English, but every one you meet greets you with a courteous smile and the welcoming word ‘la-ora-na’ (Yorana).”

Poetry Defined. George P. Morris, the author of “Woodmas. Spare That Tree,” was a general of the New York militia and a favorite with ail who know him. Mrs. Sherwood in her reminiscences tells how another poet associated the general with a definition of poetry. Once Fltz-GrOvne Hulleck, the author of “Marco Bozzarls,” called upon her in New York In his old age, and she asked him to define for her what was poetry and what was prose. He replied: “When General Morris commands Ids brigade and says, ‘Soldiers, draw your swords!’ he talks prose. When he says ‘Soldiers, draw your willing swords!’ he talks poetry.”

A Bargain. “What!" exclaimed the husband. “You drew your savings from the bunk, went to a broker's office and Imught Z., X. and Y. stock at 14, when it has been dropping like a rock?" “But, my dear,” argued the wife. “It was such a Bargain. Why, during the short time I was In tlie office I saw the man mark it down to 14 from 45!”— Success Magazine.

Next to excellence Is the appreciation of it.--Thackeray.
