A considerable fuss has been made over the fact that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has started tu learn tbe carpet making business. Theodore is Just a common factory band, earning $5 a week as a wool sorter. He most begin at 7 o'clock In the morning and work until 6:15 In the evening, with forty-five minutes for luncheon. In a manly interview tbe young-man said: "I came here to work and to learn tbe manufacture of carpets and rugs. I am merely an employee, and I don't want or ask any special favors or notice." Nevertheless tbe president's son must be handicapped and bothered by having publicity thrust upon him. The newspapers have snapshot pictures of . him as he goes to his work, pictures of the factory and of his boarding house, and all that sort of thing. Why? Surely the job is honorable, and the young man is displaying the common f ualltles of an American citizen. He is beginning at the bottom, as other boys do. Simply because his father happens to be president is no reason why mawkish sentiment should be v written about him. The young fellow is modest and willing and ought to be given his fair chance. , Moreover This exploiting of Theodore's honest calling contains tbe hint of an appar ntly growing tendency to look down on the man who earns his substance by manual labor. There are some persons who seem to regard as a sort of freak the young man who voluntarily seeks to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. They elevate their eyebrows at the spectacle of the president's son "stooping to engage as a sorter of wools." The tendency of such criticism Is un-American and deserves stinging rebake. Let It be remembered that in this free country THE SCARS ON THE SEAMED HANDS OP THE HONEST X.ABORER8 ARE SCARS AS HONORABLE AS THOSE RECEIVED IN (BATTLE.

NT IS LITTLE "IF" THAT BRINGS DOUBT That little word "IT' Is a troublesome creation, a conjunction expressive of doubt that raises a stipulation to stand In the way of many desires.

There are In the world wishes enough so that each beggar might have more than one horse should the doubt be removed and the stipulation complied with. a uvu. uwi nuu muuiu un n, nurse. This "If Is as old as the language from which the English, came, for its root was planted with the first speech and baa flourished, sending recognizable growth Into every branch of the Aryan tongue, and It is easily found In all of those branches. That original Aryan root was "ap which expressed the Idea to seize, attain and bind, but the etymological train of thought passed from attainment to stipulation and thence to doubt, so that what was to be attained could only be seized or bound in compliance with a stipulation that always brings a degree of doubt ranging from that which is questionable to that which Is impossible, as in the instance of the "if applied to wishes. The root "ap" went Into our sister language Sanskrit without change, and It is "ap"r today, meaning to attain. The word came to ns through the Teutonic type "eba" meaning stipulation, doubt. Iu the Anglo-Saxon It became -gif and In the Icelandic "ef," but always with" the same underlying, meaning. Bacon Did you see that automobile drama at the theater last night? -Egbert Yes.

History of the Red Cross Stamp

Recent Use Copied' But the Idea Is Original With America,

First Issue Being Made in '61.

There is an interesting history at tached to the Christmas stamps which were sold by the Red Cross society for the benefit of the fund with which the society Is carrying on its campaign against the white plague. Although the recent use of these charity stamps has been copied from Europe the Idea originated in America, and is essentially a property of the Red Cross society, for in Boston at the fair of the Sanitary Commission held during the civil war these stamps were first sold, the proceeds going toward the work of the commission among wounded soldiers. The Red Cross society was Itself an outcome of the sanitary commission, which sold the first stamps. It was not until thirty years later that the idea was used in Europe. In 1803 Portugal produced the first pri vate stamps for the Red Cross. Some of these stamps, called service stamps. were permitted' to be used for actual postage. Many other countries followed Por- j tugal In the use of charity stamps for obtaining funds with which to fight disease or famine and to advance the welfare of society in other ways. Switzerland. Australia, Great Britain, Uruguay France Spain, Denmark, Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Baden, Bavaria, the Netherlands, Poland, and Rou mania, have welcomed the charity stamp. In some countries the stamps were issued as postage, which would actually carry mail, while at othertimes they were purely charity stamps, such as the Red Cross is selling this Christ mas. In Germany and Austria, there have been Issued a special kind of pri vate stamps, the wohirahrtsmarkden. the sale of which is intended to support associations working for the ?ood of society. So tremendously has the interest in hose stamps grown that at present here are several hundred different cypes of charity stamps in the different countries. There are, or have been, twenty different types of stamps in Roumania, thirty in Italy; fifty in Germany and more than three hundred" in Austria and its dependencies. One of the most attractive stamps issued was that sold in Great Britain for the Prince of "Wales hospital fund. A UNIQUE RECORD. Not Another Like It in Republic Our Broad , To give positive home testimony in every locality is of itself unanswerable proof of merit; but when we add to this the continued endorsement from people who testified years ago no evidence can be stronger. A Richmond citizen gratefully acknowledges the good received from Doan's Kidney Pills and when time has tested the cure we find the same hearty endorsement, with added enthusiasm and; continued praise. Cases of this kind are plentiful in the work of Doan's Kidney Pills, and such a record is unique in the annals of medicine. Martin Bulach. tailor, 433 S. Eleventh street. Richmond, Ind says: "In the spring of 1902, I suffered from a weak and lame back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured1 a supply at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store and their use brought me prompt relief. Since that time I have had no further need of a kidney remedy as my cure has been permanent. I gave a statement recommending Doan's Kidney Pills after I had used them with such, good results and at this time, I still hold a high opinion of the remedy. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

A gold, blue and red stamp was issued for the benefit of the Consumptives Home in New South Wales. In Denmark a Christmas stamp, bearing the pictures of the king and queen, was printed In blue and black. The Norwegian stamp had a six pointed star on a plain ground and was printed in blue and white. The Russian stamp was violet and yellow. The Icelandic stamp, in gray and blue, showed an eagle on a dark ground. A French stamp, for the benefit of a seamen's hospital was in red, white and blue, showing the figure of a seaman and a flag bearing the Red Cross. The Polish stamp, in yellow and violet, showed a dark silhouette of a city on a yellow background. The Swedish National Anti-Tuberculosis association was the first to use the stamps for fighting the white plague. Although the stamps, which were printed by the association, were not considered as postage, permission was obtained from the government to sell the stamps through the post offices. The stamps were affixed to the addressed side of letters, parcels and post cards, and were stamped according to the exigency of the work at the post office Snrwav nnrl Denmark crranted simi- , Post 0fflce priTlIeges for the sale .

The sale was greatest during Christmas and New Years, but continued throughout the year. There were 6,675,000 stamps sold in 1904. The second stamp issued by the Swedish Tuberculosis Association bore the picture of King Oscar II. The stamp was sold two years later with gold over print to celebrate the golden wedding of the King and Queen. In 1906 the St. George and the Dragon stamp was issued by the association, on which was pictured St. George . representing Science slaying the dragon of Disease. In America the Delaware branch of the National Red Cross Society was the first to adopt the idea of the stamps. The Delaware branch issued Christmas stamps last year with such success that the national organization adopted the plan for this year. The stamp now being sold at many department stores, stationery stores, etc., and on the news stands was designed by Howard Pyle, and is most attractive. The stamps are one cent each. They will not carry a letter, but any letter will carry them. "Buy a stamp," says the society, and help to stamp out the white plague." - "Only a Fishing Storyr r "I once caught a fish" began piscatorial enthusiast No. 1.

Washington, Dec. 20. There was a whole lot of fine presents delivered by Santa Claus this year wide of the destination intended by the senders. Per haps of it had not been for the dead letter office these particular presents would never have snuggled in the toes of any stockings at all, and would have been waifs on a restless sea of doubt and uncertainty. As it was, 00,000 articles, ranging from gold fillings from all sorts of teeth to petticoats of every size, have been distributed by the dead letter office ihrough Marcus Notes, auctioneer, to a great crowd that attended the dead letter office sale. It was a record breaking sale too. The 00,000 articles were sold to 8,754 persons and netted about $11,000. Last year the receipts totaled $9,750, but this year, either the promise of good times or the recklessness of the people who patronize the sales has turned a much prettier penny into Uncle Sam's Treasury. HALL WILL ONLY BE FIGUREHEAD IN THE SENATE (Continued From Page One.) been mentioned for the finance committee and Senator Bland, himself, may get a place on thL committee. It is expected that there will be considerable discussion of the appropriations for state institutions during the session, and this will be an important committee. What Senators Want. Senator Henry P. Pearson, of Bedford, would like to have an appointment on one of the judiciary committees, and it is believed that he will land the place. Dr. T. R. Brady, of Wabash, Is said, to be slated for a place on the public health committee. Senator Linton A. Cox, of Marlon county, would like to have a place on this committee, because he is interested in a bill to prevent the housing of too many people in any one building. The committee on county and t6wnship business will be a busy one during the session, as it is to this committee that the bills to carry out the merchants platform for 'legislation will probably be referred. It is said that Senator Cox may have a place on this committee. He stands for uniform accounting in counties and all public offices and for the elimination of the fee system, both of which reforms are advocated by the merchants. Senator Cox also is mentioned for a place on the committee on legislative apportionment. He does not believe that because the democrats are in the majority In one branch of the legislature and the republicans In the other the apportionment should necessarily remain as it is. He believes that f changes should be made there will be some plan to which both parties may agree provided time and care is taksa to Cad this plan.

HER SOLDIER DEAD Vicksburg Monuments Will Be Dedicated Tuesday With Great Ceremony. STATE DELEGATION LARGE MAJ. LACEY OF FOUNTAIN CITY, MEMBER OF COMMISSION, AND JUDGE COMSTOCK WILL ATTEND. Indianapolis, Dec. 2S. Indiana will this week do honor to her brave sous who fell while fighting in the Union line in the memorable struggle for possession of one of the Confederate strongholds in the Southland during the great civil war, still fresh in the memories of the older Hoosier generations. After several years of agitation on tbe part of state officials and veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, the state has completed, and is about to dedicate, a number of monuments erected in commemoration of the Indiana soldiers who fell before Vicksburg. In erecting these granite slabs to the memory of her valiant sons, Indiana falls in line with other states of the Union which have contributed much toward beautifying the National Military park at Vicksburg, into which the government has transformed the battle field. Acceptance of Monuments. Tonight a special train carrying scores of Indiana people, including many state officials and leading G. A. R.-veterans, will leave the Union station for Vicksburg where, on Tuesday afternoon, the Vicksburg Monument Commission, which has had charge of the erection of the Indiana monuments on the battle field, will formally preent the monuments to the state. Governor Hanly will accept them on behalf of the state, and will then turn them over to the United States government, of which 'they will become the property. The special train will leave Indiaapolis at 8 o'clock tonight. It will consist of several Pullman sleepers, a day coach, baggage car and a diner. Governor Hanly will be accompanied by members of his staff, including Brig. Gen. Oran Perry, adjutant-general of Indiana, and others. Ex-Governor Winfield T. Durbin of Anderson, who started the movement to erect the Vicksburg monuments, will also make the trip. The members of the two Vicksburg Monument commissions will be among the party, together with the Judges of the supreme and appellate courts of Indiana and various state officials. Many of the men will be accompanied by their wives. Among the supreme court judges who will go are Judge John V. Hadley, L. J. Monks and O. H. Montgomery. The appellate judges who will go are Daniel W. Corastock, David Myers. J. M. Rabb and W. H. Watson. Capt. John D. Alex ander of Bedford, department com mander of the Indiana G. A. R., will be in the party, together with Capt. W. T. Stott, superintendent of the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans Home at Knightstown, Nicholas Endsley of Indianapolis, and others. The exercises will be held on a knoll near the Jewish cemetery, at the point where the charge of May 22, 1863, in which the Eighth, Eighteenth, Sixtieth, Sixty-seventh, Eighty-third and Ninety-third Indiana regiments of In fantry participated, was made. The spot is located one and one-half miles northeast of Vicksburg. No parade will be held in connection with the ex ercises, but Vicksburg is preparing to give the Indianians a royal welcome. The movement looking to the erec tion of the Indiana monuments on the Vicksburg battle field was inaugurated by Winfield T. Durbin, during his administration as governor. A bill was passed authorizing the governor to appoint a commission consisting of veterans who participated In the siege of Vicksburg to visit the battle field and select the sites for the proposed monuments. On this commission. Governor Durbin appointed Henry C. Adams, of Indianapolis, A. B. Crampton of Delphi, M. M. Lacey of Fountain City. Phillip Lester of Little York, K. L. Seamans of Wabash, and T. M. Hardy of Pendleton. Mr. Lester is now deceased. The commission visited the battle field twice. Eighty-two Counties Represented. Eighty-two of the ninety-two counties in Indiana were represented in the siege, of Vicksburg. Indiana had twenty-eight organizations in the conflict. The Indiana troops were scattered along the line from left to right. There were six Indiana regiments that were not brigaded. Several regiments were not on the firing line, and, therefore, suffered no heavy losses. These organizations were engaged In protecting the rear from attacks from the Confederates under Gen. Joe Johnston, who attempted to raise the Biege. Women Laborers. Women are largely employed In Prague and elsewhere in Bohemia as ordinary day laborers in the construction of buildings. They mix mortar, sift sand and carry bricks and mortar to various parts of the buildings being constructed. For such service they are paid from 32 to 3T cents per day.

In mid ocean the cook approached the captain timidly. "Captain." he said, "the men ar growl in about the beef. They say they can't chaw it nohow. They say it's only fit to mend their sea boots with." "How much beef are you givin' 'em. cookie?" tbe captain asked. "A pound apiece a day, sir," said the cook. "Well." said the captain gently, "give 'em half a pound apiece from now on. I should be sorry to force 'em to eat what Isn't to their taste." THE VASTNESS OF THE NIGHT. When we confront .tha vastnesa of tha nig-nt And meet tha gaie of her eternal eyes.

Legge. bishop of Oxford, who had not youth as his excuse for his vanity, asked his friend Canning to come and hear his first episcopal sermon. They dined together afterward, snd from the politician's silence the other ought to have known better than to push him; but, being rather nettled, he exclaimed, "Canning, you have said nothing to me about my sermon." "Well, it was short." "Oh," said the bishop, "It is better to be short than tedious." "But," replied Canning, "you were that too." The Parrot's Response. . a A maiden lady in England owned a parrot, which somehow acqnired the disagreeable habit of observing at frequent intervals. "I wish the old lady would die." This annoyed the bird's owner, who spoke to her curate about it "I think we can rectify the matter, replied the good man. "I also have a parrot, and he is a righteous bird, having been brought up In tbe way he should go. I will lend you my parrot, and I trust his Influence will reform that depraved bird of yours." The curate's parrot was placed in the same room with the wicked one. and as soon as the two had become accustomed to each other the bad bird remarked, "I wish tbe old lady would -t die," whereupon the clergyman's bird rolled up his eyes and In solemn accents added. "We beseech thee to bear us, good Lord!"' The story got out In the parish, and for several Sundays It was necessary to omit the litany at tbe church services. Modest.
