This King Business
During tho last campaign when Roosevelt returned to New York all the finance ridden papers of that city from the highest to the lowest picked up the cry of "Roosevelt wants to be king!" And men believed it some of them. Now that the campaign is over It is easier to talk of this thing without fear of being misunderstood. There Is nothing partisan at stake. There is no election. What there Is to be said is precisely what people who think for' themselves said at the time.

CALK YOUNG RICE. Cale Young Rice, noted as a poet, author and dramatist, was born In Dixon, Ky.. December 7. 1872. He received his education at Cumberland university and Harvard university, graduating from the last named institution in 1S95. Two years after leaving college ho published his first book of poems, entitled "From Dusk to Dusk." The success of his Initial effort encouraged him In his literary aspirations and since then several romances and poetic dramas have come from his pen. In 1902, Mr. Rice was married to Miss Allco llegan, who has since HAdiaHawaA ftnawaAtta OS 41 wtiaa anikAa i .V

Think back a minute where this talk started from in the first place. Roosevelt bad no sooner left for Africa than the, men who feared his return commenced to prepare for his return. The "Back from Elba" cry commenced almost identically at the same time that the' Insurgent movement started. Why? Mr. Taft had been thought a strong roan a man who would do things. Ills speech of acceptance rang true. He had shown marked accomplishment under Roosevelt when he was free and untrammeled. You doubtless remember how most of us resented his being called a "moon man." , But with the rotund and leisurely entrance of golf, where there had been raids over the country after the hen stealing fox, there came a cry from men for something to be done. Then came the work of the press agents. If this had been France, whose volatile people are set by an epigram and unseated again by the same means, the Back from Elba cry might have discredited Roosevelt. Some one ought to dig up the letters and editorials which have been written about Washington and Lincoln. They have both been called Kings. Every man who is worth his salt has enemies. Roosevelt's enemies happen to be the. very men who have robbed a people. They hate Roosevelt because he has no brothers to guide him in the paths of "safety," "sanity" and Inaction. The remarkable fact that the small business man, who has as much to fear from the force which Roosevelt fought as anyone else, are being told that honesty and decency cannot be Insisted on in business conduct because It will ruin business. It is not a mark of intelligence In any man who believes this. Yet many believe ItMen who want to do shady things do not like public attention invited to It. In a calm, still time such things as the Ballinger affair takes place likewise tariff revision, such as happened in the first of Mr. Taft's administration. Those men who do make a noise are marked for slaughter, v Roosevelt dangerous yes. to dishonest men. So the cry "Roosevelt has come back from Elba to be King." Let any man compare the two follow through the careers of two strong men In your mind. Here are two documents that you should read: State of New York, Assembly Chamber, Albany, April 30, 1884. Dear Mr. North: I wish to write you a few words just to thank you for your kindness toward me, and to assure you that my head will not be turned by what I well know was a mainly accidental success. Although not a very old man. I have yet lived a great deal in my life, and I have known sorrow too bitter, and Joy too keen, to allow me to become either cast down or elated for more than' a very brief period over any success or defeat. , I have very little expectation of being able to keep on in politics; my success so far has only been won by absolute indifference as to my future career; for I doubt If any one can realize the bitter and venomous hatred with which I aril regarded by the very politicians who, at Utlca, supported me, under dictation from masters who were influenced by political considerations that were national and not local in their scope. I realize very thoroughly the absolutely ephemeral nature of the hold I have upon the people, and the very real and positive hostility I have excited among the politicians. I will not stay in public life unless I can do so on my own terms; and my Ideal, whether lived up to or not, is rather a high one. , For very many reasons I will not" mind going back Into private life for a few years. My work this winter has been very harassing, and I fee! both tired and restless; for the next few months I shall probably be In Dakota, and I think that I shall spend the next two or three years in making shooting trips, either in the far west or in the great northern woods and there will be plenty of work to do writing. If you are ever In or near New York, let me know; and I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you in my home, elther.on Long Island or in New York; you will always be sure of a welcome. Very truly yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for a deity dead and gazed upon the sarcophagus of rare nameless marble, where rests at last the ashes of that restless man. I leaned over the balustrade and thought about the career of the greatest soldier of the modern world. I saw him walking upon the banks of the Seine contemplating suicide.' I saw him at Toulon. I saw him putting down the mob in the streets of Paris. I saw him at the .head of the army in Italy. I saw him crossing the bridge at Lodl with the tri-color In his hand. I saw him in Egypt, in the shadows of the pyramids. I saw him conquer the Alps and mingle the eagles of France with the eagles of' the crags. I saw him at Marengo, at Ulmand at Austerllts. I saw him in Russia, when the infantry of the snow and the cavalry of the wild blast scattered his legions like winter's withered leaves. I saw him at Leipsic in defeat and disaster driven by a million bayonets back upon Paris clutched like a wild beast banished to Elba. I saw him escape and retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him upon the frightful field of Waterloo, where chance and fate combined to wreck the fortunes of their former king. And I saw him at St. Helena with bis hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea. I thought of the widows and orphans he had made, of the tears that had been shed for his glory, and of the only woman who ever loved him pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant and worn wooden shoes; I would rather have lived in a hut with a vine growing over the door, and the grapes growing purple in the amorous kisses of the autumn sun; I would rather have been that poor peasant, with my wife. by. my side knitting as the day died out of the sky, with my children upon my knees and their arms .about me; I would rather have been this man and gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial personation of force and murder, known as Napoleon the Great Ingersoll. Well?
REFUSED TO REMAIN UNSHAVEN; DUCKED Chicago. 111., Dec. 7. Richard E. Myers went swimming in the pool of Bartlett gymnasium, at the University of Chicago, but he took of his overcoat and shoes before he went in. He also took oft his mustache. Ho took that off first. That is why he went swimming. The acQuatic performer is a senior at the university. The senior class, In Informal meeting last Sunday, decreed that no senior upper Hp should be
shaved until the end of the spring quarter in June. The penalty for infraction of the rule was determined as an enforced bath in the Bartlett pool. When Myers was found today with his upper Hp cleanly shaved this appearance was pronounced treasonable by Captain Bill Crawley, of the football team; Half Back, "Bunny" Rodgers, Paul Gardner and several other university prominents, who led their fellow student into the "gym." There, after being divested of his shoes and overcoat, their victim discovered how wet water Is when one has his clothes on.

PAUPER PREACHER WARNS AMBITIOUS
AN EMPTY SlOCKING. There is a picture I think 1 first saw it hi the Inland Printer a few years ago-rentitled "An Empty Stocking," that always touched me to the core. It Is a picture of Christmas morning. A little one In her "nightie" lias eagerly jumped out of bed to see what may be in her stockings, so carefuly bung on the wall the night before. They are empty. The picture shows the poor little kid. her face, down upon the bed, in an agony of grief and disappointment. In her hand she holds one of the empty stockings, while the other hangs lean and limp upon the wall. As you comprehend the picture a great pity seizes you. Tne story is all there. In all her future life, you think, this child will never face a deeper sorrow, a keener wound. She "was so full of hopes the night before. She believed Santa Claus was too kind to pass by a little girl who had tried to be good. Perhaps she knew that Santa Claus was poor, but certainly he ..would bring her something. ' And she was forgotten. Poor baby! It hurts to have your little heart filled clear to the brim with sobs. It Is hard to learn when you are only a bit of a girl the lesson of neglect and the world's beartlessness, because between a childish heart and its first great grief la Interposed no shield of experience. You and I know the world's stern ways. We know what It Is to trust and be wretched, to hope and fail, to fall and rise and trust again But a baby! The picture is a true one. There will be thousands such when Christmas, not so far away, comes again. '' There are homes in your town. In every town, where hunger often shows its haunting face, homes where there are not even a few pennies to buy one little toy. And It takes so little to make happy the heart of a child. Oh, yes, I know The parents maj be lazy or the fa
ther a drunkard, or what not, but that
Is no fault of the kiddles. Oh, It is that in a land of plenty one
little child who craves the ownership of some trifling thing a cheap doll or
a tin soldier should sob in cruel disillusion, holding in her little band an empty stocking!
Maybe you can see In such a pictnre
a duty which should be to you a grt at delight.

Sardis, Miss., Dec 7. That for 50 year 8 he has been in the service of the Methodist Episcopal church South, that he has never earned more than $467 yearly and that he has never left a debt behind, has lived comfortably and has lived to see the third generation of his' descendants grow
to maturity, was the statement of Rev. C. Bachman of this city before a meet
ing of the Episcopalian society of the
North Mississippi conference.
The doctor accentuated his remarks
by admonishing a large class of young ministers just ordained that the business of the young minister nowadays
was the salvation of men, not a strug
gle for church position and personal
popularity. He deplored the fact that the clergy has seemed to lose sight of this fact
during recent years.
