Those of us who stay rooted to the spoe in Richmond hardly appreciate the quiet change which has taken place in our business section which promises to be a determining feature fn fche town' growth. For many years Richmond seemed to be but an en larged country town--most of it oh One street But in the last few years there has been a tendency instituted to Suild and build well on the side streets. As ah example of this, take tin new school building, the Y. M. C. A., the new .Roman Catholic church and the post office. These improvements, some of them already completed mnd others about to be built, Will change the course of development and make Richmond look more like a city. The objector to this theory may well say that tLese improvements are not of a business character. But just as h house is well furnished in which all the furniture is not chairs and tables, so the town -must have its heavier pieces to start with. These add an incentive for Increased building which should not escape the eye of the investor. The time must of course come when the town is not a one-street town. , The change must come by building on the side streets, also. '. The only thing which can be objected to in our building is the plan of our streets which cannot be changed. This has hid ali the principal buildings of;the town until they are approached. There is no vista no 'central point. This it Is which deceives the average stranger who catches a glimpse of the town, relegating It to comparative unimportaftC6 PRESIDENT ELIOT: DIPLOMAT. The Court of St. James has been long ' considered the most important post in the diplomatic corps and this cttuntry has been move eareful in the flection of the men tb fill that post than any other. From the earliest times the diplomatic agents. the ministers and ambassadors have been rten of singular fitness and usually wen who h?d taado their reputations in other fields than in the department of ' state negotiations. , . . The announcement that Dr. Eliot of Harvard is to take the place is in line with the precedents of other years. Aad when England has paid the Compliments of sending here, her best type of scholar and statesman In Mr. Bryce, so well informed on America as to make his "American Commonwealth'! the authority on the government of the United States we can do nothing but return in kind. For many years Eliot of Harvard has been , the chief man in academic life to take a keen interest In subjects relating to the political, social and economic : growth of - the country. Whether it be labor unions or the selection of a federal judge in his section of the country he has been at the service of his country in using his influence for the good. It was he who got up in a meeting of striking labor ers and told them what he thought of the secondary boycott and the laborers, hostile .at first, respected: his courage- and listened to his arguments. The strike eventually came to an end, through his mediation and he was enrolled as r.n honorary member of the striking union. . The two things which have worried Dr. Eliot in the matter of going to the court of BL James, it is said, is are the expense and his age. Of the flatter it is not a disability and the "farmer, the Question . of . money has Clxoctly to do with the failure of this

near the standard demanded by the" duties imposed.

The unpleasant affair-in regard to Dr. David Jayne Hill last year when hiS name was proposed to the Kaiser is the outgrowth of the present penury of the diplomatic salaries which are attached to the most important posts. Altogether i ii (o be expected that the politicians of the country will say as It was 6aid of James Russell Lowell, tha another "one of therri' damned literary fellers has been chosen." It need not be pointed out that in a court where scholarship abounds among those high in the government it is more important that we be represented by a scholar than by any other class for as it may not be well known personal friendship has accomplished more in the history of even modern diplomacy than red tape. It is the lubrication of international machinery. . TWINKLES Couldn't Make A Touch. "I have no luck,' the pessimist sighed, "While waking or while dreaming My plans for wealth all scatter wide And fruitless is my scheming. "I dreamed one night a vision fair How Fate comes on to chide us The 'Hands Off sighs were everywher The 'Hands Off' sighs were everywhere And I, I dreamed, was Midas." Buffalo News. An Illustration. Are we a sordid nation? Have we ho love of art? Is nothing but a money grub within the nation's heart? Is our practicality so sordid and so plain That we can think of nothing but the present moment's gain? Have commerce and the things of trade so obsessed all the rest. That music has no charms, indeed, to soothe bur savage breast? But how is it that if we art so obsti nately flounce That Tetrazzihi buys a (tog at fifty per an ounce? Said Uncle Silas: . "All men are born free an, equal, but most of 'em git over it by gittin married." Los Angeles Express. CHEER. Who but feels the pain go searching when in failure he goes down. When his hopes goes all to thunder in a smash; When it seems that old Miss Fortune only knows the way to frown And he's hurt in mind and body and in cash? Why, you feel the , disappointment from your topknot to your toes, Any you look out on the fututre with a groan; Yet ybii find this old world, brother, isn't half way full of woes At a little word of cheer from just your own.

Wireless telegraphy removed the last vestige of privacy from the voyages of our ex-presidents. (From Columbus, Ohio, State Journal If Col. Roosevelt should happen to get seasick the captain nrobablv will proceed as if the wireless were out of order. (From the Milwaukee Sehtinel.) There will be no C. D.

(From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat) Priceless boon, this "wireless telegraphy." We learn that 200 miles at sea Col. Roosevelt took a bath, and we might have guessed as much without the wireless. (From the Buffalo Commercial.) The "wireless" seems to disregard Mr. Roosevelt's positive statement that he wants to avoid further publicity. (From the Providence Tribune.) If the wireless' telegraph fails to work during the next few days it is going to seem very dull here in the United Ctates. KIDNAPING REFLECTIONS. (From Columbus Evening Dispatch.) If Willie Whitla could be brought to appreciate the length and breadth and depth of good will that has gone out to him in the last week he wonld certainly do bis utmost to become a good man. (From the Milwaukee Journal.) The latest kidnaping case, like the ones that went before, shows that little boys should not take rides in strange aaen's buggies. (From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.) "The place should seek the men," says the Philadelphia Press. It does. There is the state penitentiary, for instance, and the kidnapers ot Willie Whitla. (From the Portland Press.) The man in the Whitla kidnaping case is said to be a plumber. Was he not getting rish qulok .enough that he

His proclamation was issued yesterday afternoon and is as follows: "If beauty is its own excuse for be ing, then beaufy combined with utility has a double rfght to exist. For many years it has been the custom of the people of Indiana to adorn the grounds about public buildings, school houses, colleges, and state institutions , and along public highways and streams, and in public parks and village com mons by the planting of shade trees and shrubs. . had to get rich quicker? He would better have stack tor his job. (From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.) It is hoped that the thrilling incidents connected with the Willie Whitla kidnaping case will not Inspire Pat Crowe to a resumption of that trade. (From the Albany Evening Journal.) A kidnaper comes pretty close to art exemplification of the total depravity which some sociologists say does not exist. He is utterly heartless, an incarnation of cruel rapacity.

WILLIAM W. BIRDS ALL In Memoriam By W. N. Trueblood. Thy memory be as a dwelling place for all sweet sounos and harmonies." Wordsworth, in Tintern Abbey. "How wonderful is Death' and yet how passing f airi As 'twere a gleam of sunshine in a gloomy day ; It falls upon a busy life and flashes into play A set of jewels that we hardly knew were there. - Ah, me, so wrapped are we in this great masquerade ? Of life, this pageant in the iron mask of care, 1 That, but for Death, we ne'er might know or guess how fair And sweet a spirit 'neath the iron mask had played. " I thought not of him yesterday; or, thought of one That fought a strenuous way to greater wealth and powers Today I've hear him laughing, talking, hour by hour. Just as I heard him, when we used to walk alone. Today we've gone, again, the old familiar rounds ' ' Along the high-way through the toll-gate to the town, Along the gleaming river ledges gray and brown. And through the grove, and all about the college grounds; And. as I've looked and listened to his Voice and walked With him. I've wondered how it chanced t never knew How fine his spirit was, how beautiful and true. In the days we read together, strolled about and talked. I bear his voice, I hear the short laugh, soft and low, I see the lit-up face, I feel the warming thrill Of hand-clasp, just as then no difference and. still. A flash of meaning 's come, which then I did hot know. Pale Death is but the breaker of an outer shell. In which the treasure, life, is masked from' human view. And which, when broken, yields the treasure, imaged true: And in Eternal form 'tis holden Safe and well. And Birdsall s name shall be a inem'ry of delight. A dwelling place of pleasant thoughts and harmonies. A home of peace and musing, when evening's charming nees -The curtain fall upon the solemn, sacred night.

"It is a custom well befitting a people which not only seeks the highest good, but the highest beauty. It is one which ought to be preserved from year to year.

"Now, therefore, I. Thomas R. Marshall, governor of the State of Indiana, do hereby designate Friday, April 30, and Friday, October 20, 19X, as arbor days within and for the commonwealth of the State of Indiana, and upon that day I request that the people of the state devote themselves to the planting of trees and shrubs which, in the years to come will beautify and be valuable to our land." The Scrap Book A Genial Greeting. It was a former archbishop of York, Dr. Thomson, who appeared once in the role of coachman. He had attend ed afl evening party and, on leaving the house, discovered that his coachman was drank. There appeared nothing for it but to drive home himself, and the archbishop, after placing the smiling but unconscious coachman Inside the carriage, mounted the bo and took the reins. The monotony of the homeward journey was broken by a wheel of the carriage coming into violent collision with a stone jnst out side the entrance to Bisbopstborpe. The lodge keeper, unable to recognise the approaching figure in the dark net, called oat cheerily: "Hello, BOH Drunk again? And Mowed if yon ain't got the old cock's hat on!" "It's the old cock himself," gravely responded his grace. . What He Didn't Mean. A young member of congress was insisting upon recognition for the de livery of a speech, and the speaker gave him multiples of reasons for de clining to grant recognition, finally saying, "Young man, yon seem to be incorrigible." "Maybe I am Incorrigible," exclaim ed the yonng man hotly, "but I'D hare yon to understand, Mr. Speaker, that I'm not Incorruptible!" Oidnt Need a Selection. A Kansas man tells of a music hall In a town of that state which bore the unenviable reputation of possessing absolutely the worst band anywhere. On one occasion a "headliner" from Chicago had been promised by the management for a "tarn," and consequently the hall was packed to the doors. When, however, the time had come for the "headliner" to appear Instead of that eagerly awaited attrac tion the- audience was astounded to see the agitated manager come before the curtain holding a telegram in his bend. "Ladles and gentlemen," said he, "I very much regret to Inform yon that the 'Great Stewart' cannot (hisses and catcalls) possibly arrive for at least another half hour. (Great applause.) In the meantime the band will play you a selection." At this a dead eilence followed, which was finally broken by a tnan in the gallery. "Smitty, Smitty," he shrieked, "don't let the band play. Well be quiet, hon est we will!" Cultivate Habits, Not Maxims. tn the cdnduct of life habits are of greater importance than maxims, because habit IS a living maxim that has become flesh and instinct. To remodel one's maxims means ndthlng. This is only to alter the title of the book. But t6 acquire hew habits is everything, for it is to grasp the meaning of life, which Is only a tissue of habits. Henri Frederic Amlei. Congratulation Either Way. An author hid been congratulated on the success of his last book. "Thank yeV' said the author, "and I am glad your congratulations don't work both ways." "Work both ways?" "Yes. Like those that were once of fered to a nian named Brownlow. "A friend said to Brownlow: Let me congratulate you. I see by the paper that your wife has presented you with twins.' "Brownlow smiled. "'No,' he said, 'that is a mistake. The father's name Is John C. Brown low. t am John K. Brownlow.' " 'Ah,' cried the other man heartily, then I do indeed congratulate your H

Tim and Clancy were walking through the Wilds of New Jersey, bound for New York, When Tint spied a wildcat crouched in the branches of a tree near the read, dnetatsg his companion by the arm and pointing excitedly to the beast, he said: "Clancy, do yea see thot feme Maltese cat? Ol've a frl'nd on Vasey street as wod give $40 far ut. Stand yea under now, an' Oill go up an shake her done. All yes'll havo to do Is to howld her." Clancy did as he was told, and Tim went up and shook and shook till the cat did absolutely tumble. Clancy grabbed her. When thr catne a moment's lull in the cyclone of fur and Clancy and dust and grass the wondering Tim, looking on from above, called down: "Shall Oi come done, Clancy, an help howld her? "Come dune! Come done!" gasped Clancy. "Come .dune an' heln let her go! Clever Thievery. A group of stevedores in New York were lunching in a sheltered nook of a wharf. One of them went across the street for a plug of chewing tobacco, and in his absence another substituted for bis tin of pale coffee and milk his own tin of mllkless black coffee. When the first stevedore, plug In hand, returned be could hardly believe his eyes. "Well," he said, 'l've heard of clever thieves, but to swipe the milk out of a feller's coffee beats the band!" Eighteen men were tied to the whipnlna nost in one day recently at Wil mington, Del., and given a total of 255 lashes. This beats all previous records.
