ROOSEVELT CRISIS IS SAFELY PASSED Colonel Makes Plans to Leave Hospital in Chicago. BELIEVES DANGER IS OVER Former President Is Anxious to Resume Trip That Was Halted by Assassin’s Bullet at Milwaukee— Runs Campaign in Bed. Chicago, Oct. 21— With all dangerd of septicemia past and his condition again normal, Col. Theodore Roosevelt was permitted to sit up in a chair on Friday for the first time since his arrival at Mercy hospital. He received newspaper men and gave out the first interview concerning the assault made upon him in Milwaukee last Monday. Dressed in a blue bathrobe and seated in a large leather Chair near an open window with a rug wrapped about his feet, Colonel Roosevelt answered questions vigorously, joked with the newspaper men and emphasized his remarks with his usual quick gestures. He spoke dispassionately of the assault and treated it In a humorous way and signified his intention of reentering the campaign as soon as possible. It became almost certainly known that the bullet fired by John Schrank at Milwaukee will remain in the colonel’s chest. X “I would as soon carry it in my chest as in my pocket,” Mr. Roosevelt said, joking, ’’and I am sure not to lose it where it is now.” The wound W" the chest showed on examination that it was so far healed that there was only one chance in a thousand that any further trouble with it would be experienced. This one chance is tetanus, and the dead line for the development of this is next Monday. The colonel, unable to stand restraint longer, began to run his campaign from his bed. He dictated copiously to Secretary McGrath letters to the New York leaders and to the Progressive managers. Governor Johnson, the colonel’s running mate, saw the colonel for the first time since the shooting, and they had a conference of half an hour. As he left the Rooseyelt sickroom Governor Johnson said: “I was surprised to find Mr. Roosevelt so well. He is in excellent trim and will be back in the fight in a short time, “I am not urging him to return so soon, but I can see how he is tugging at the leach. Theodore Roosevelt is now- fit to fight or to run a foot race.” Milwaukee, Oct. 21. — For the first time John Schrank on Friday asked a deputy sheriff at the county jail how Colonel Roosevelt was. When told his condition was favorable Schrank asked where the colonel had been shot and if the bullet had been found. “The bullet belongs to me,” said the prisoner. Continuing, Schrank said: “I have made my will and bequeathed the bullet with which I shot Roosevelt to the New- York Historical society, with a request that it be placed on exhibition in the rotunda of the state capitol at Albany. My property in New York I have willed to my mother in Germany.” When asked again it he was sorry for having shot the colonel, Schrank said he was not; that he considered In committing the act he was doing only his duty.

DYING TO SAVE GIRL, BOY SAYS, ‘JES’ GLAD’ Willie Rugh, the Gary (Ind.) Newsboy, Who Gave His Leg for Skin Grafting, Succumbs. Gary, Ind., Oct. 21.—Smiling cheerfully and fearlessly into the very face of death. William Rugh, the Gary newsboy who sacrifice<| his left leg to furnish sufficient live skin to heal the burns of Ethel Smith, paid the penalty of his sacrifice with his life on Friday. As death stiffened his fingers a rose, given him by the girl for whom he was sacrificing his life, fell from his hand upon the coverlet of the hospital cot. “I'm glad,” he had whispered a few minutes before the end. “Tell her — that —that I’m jes’ glad.” Conscious to the last, he kept smiling while Mrs. H. C. McCabe, his foster mother, the nurses and the surgeon in the room turned their faces to hide their tears. A few weeks ago Miss Smith was burned in a motorcycle accident. Dr. J. A. Craig, her physician, realized that a large area of skin must be grafted on her if her life was to be saved. So great was the amount needed that the surgeon despaired of filling the need. Then Willie Rugh offered to give his withered leg for the grafting. “It never done me much good, anyway,” he explained. The grafting was successfully performed and the lad’s leg was taken off just below the hip. Several days ago Miss Sinlth was discharged from the hospital—cured. But the anesthetic given Rugh before the operation had been too much for bls weak lungs. Pneumonia developed and caused his death A memorial tablet is to be erected in Gary in honor of Willie Rugh and a funeral such as Gary never before has seen, will be held. Burial will be at Briar Bluff, 111., and a special train will carry the mourners. Upon the memorial tablet will be inscribed Willie’s words: “I’m glad just to be a little help.”* • CLOSE GUARD FOR WILSON. > — Foreigner In Wilmington, Del., Makes Threat Against Governor’s Life.

TURKS MEET WITH THREE REVERSES Balkan War Becomes Reality by Declaration of Greece. MOSLEM WARSHIP BLOWN UP All Powers Show Much Anxiety and Are Preparing for Any Contingency That Would Disturb Their Interests. London, Oct. 21.—Notification that Bulgaria, Servia and Greece had declared war against Turkey was given V> the British foreign office on Fdiday. The only formality now lacking is the declaration of war by Turkey against Greece. This little detail, however. Is not delaying the movements of the various armies. The Turkish and Bulgarian forces are both advancing. A Turkish warship, while maneuvering for a position whence to shell- a Bulgarian port, was blown up by a Bulgarian ' mine, according to unofficial dispatches from reliable sources. Two Greek gunboats, after a daring dash past the strong Turkish fortifications in the Gulf of Arta, captured a Turkish torpedo boat and two steam launches armed with rapid-fire guns. The whole of the Turkish garrison at Berana, consisting of 4,000 regulars and 3,000 irregulars, fled in the night before the capture of the town by the Montenegrins. The Montenegrins pursued the fleeing garrison and took several hundred prisoners and three field guns. The Greek fleet has left Athens under sealed orders for an unknown destination. Reports of other engagements are reaching the London foreign office and news agencies almost hourly as hundreds of thousands of troops are rushed into action against the fortified towns on either side of the Balkan borders. Overshadowing the actual fighting in point of importance are the reports from foreign capitals of the growing restlessness of the powers and their increasing activities in preparation for any contingency that may endanger their respective interests in Europe’s hotbed of rebellion. All reserve officers of the Austrian army residing in France have been ordered to the colors. . Two French warships have already off the Syrian coast and five more have been ordered held ready to proceed to the same position. The Roumanian government has abandoned its attitude of awaiting developments and ordered the First, Third and Fifth army corps mobilized for immediate duty at the first sign of an important Bulgarian victory. Russia has a force of 100,000 men equipped for field service and awaiting the word to execute the commands of the czar in the Balkan affair when Austria becomes active. Germany is watching developments with a keen eye, for she will not stand idly by and see her ally, Austria, crushed. England, though suspicious of Germany, will evince no active interest unless it becomes necessary for her to join Russia, her ally, in preventing the Teutonic combination from extending its authority farther into the southeast Italy, though allied with Germany and Austria, will fight before she will suffer Albania to pass into other hands. Ouchy, Switzerland, Oct. 21. —The final draft of the treaty of peace between Turkey and Italy was signed here on Friday.

In showing this communication I asked whether he had received any money from the Standard OU company and his reply was that he had received no contribution from that corporation. I afterward repeated Mr. Bliss’ response to President Roosevelt. I dftl not show the second letter to him, as I had already received his response and denial on showing him the first communication.” The letters to which Cortelyou referred are the famous queries of President Roosevelt, following the charges by Judge A. B. Parker, that he was receiving aid from corporations. In them Colonel Roosevelt demanded a denial from Bliss of the charges made against the administration. MADERO STILL HOLDS ON.

UffiMIONAL SBNMSdIOOI LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) •LESSON FOR OCTOBER 27. WANDERINGS IN DECAPOLIS. LESSON TEXT—Mark 7:31-8:10. GOLDEN TEXT—“He hath done all things well: He maketh even the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.”—Mark 7:37 R. V. Last week we saw our Lord in the region of Tyre and Sidon dealing with the Syrophenician woman. In v 31 (R. V.) we now see him journeying back towards the Sea of Galilee through the border of that section containing ten cities, for that is what the word Decapolis means. 1. JESUS THE HEALER (vv. 3137). Jesus had gone north seeking rest but he “could not be hid,” aha now upon his return he continues to meet these sad cases which need healing, and who are brought to him by their Intensely interested friends. Jesus does not need beseeching. He whose heart was touched with compassion is ready to hear the faintest cry. This first section is rich with suggestions. Jesus takes the man apart suggesting the necessity for individual personal dealing with God. Men are not saved en masse but as separate individuals, it could not be otherwise and have a man retain his personality. To work any cure for our sins Jesus demands our individual attention. Then Jesus placed his fingers in the man’s ears; suggesting the added emphasis that we must come into personal contact with God if we would be healed. We may stop to reason (Isa. 1:18) with him but our sins, that be as scarlet, will not be removed unless we come by personal, individual, experience under the blood, (Eph. 1:7).

“His blood avails for all our race, His blood avails for me.” Moistening the man’s tongue with his own saliva suggests that the source of healing is to be in Jesus’ own per son. Our salvation is not in the words he spake, nor the life he lived, but the life he gave (Heb. 9:12-14). Fellowship With God, , Jesus also looked to heaven, indicating that we must continue in fellowship with God, and also indicating his own fellowship with the father. Jesus sighed over the wreck of sin. The son of man came to bear our sorrows and to share our griefs. (Isa. 63:9). Attention has been called to the sighs and the tears of Jesus. If our prayers were more accompanied by tears and heartfelt sighs they would be more powerful. (cf. Romans 8:26). It is equally true that if our sighing were accompanied by more prayers we would accomplish more in his kingdom. After these preliminary and suggestive acts Jesus spoke the one word "Ephphatha"—Be opened—and deaf ears were opened to words of praise and counsel and to the cry of distress. Loosed was the man’s tongue to speak his word of personal testimony and to witness for his healer. Read Isaiah 32:1-4 and 35:4, 5. In this particular case Jesus for reasons of state admonished those present not to tell broadcast about the cure that had been effected, as such a course would attract the multitude and Jesus was beginning to avoid the crowds as much as possible. There were other occasions when Jesus com manded those whom he had cured to witness for God, Luke 8:39. It is noticeable that this was an instantaneous, full, and complete cure, for the man “spoke plain.” So in him we are complete (Col. 2:10) or whole. Why is it that in a majority of cases Jesus spake and ’twas done, while here there was a seemingly progressive cure? One answer would be that Jesus is not confined to one method and that he had certain lessons to teach to his disciples that this method alone would best suggest. 11. JESUS THE PROVIDER (vv. 1-10, cf. Matt. 15:32-38.) The tremendous stir Jesus caused Is graphically suggested by Mark'in verse one of this section. From far and near they had gathered and now at the end of the third day their small supply of food is exhausted. We are t&4d by John (6:26, 27) why they had followed him, still they were deeply interested in him and considered him to bb a prophet (Johh- 6:14). Nevertheless Jesus was moved with a compassion then, even as now he is moved when he beholds us. in our unworthiness.

No Hunger Too Great. The compassion of Jesus is a very ■ active principle, it does not consist of i sighs and lamentations, or of investi- ■ gations and condemnation of condi- I tions. His compassion causes him to | act. But the disciples are aghast at | his suggestion that he feed this mul- j titude of “about four thousand." , “Whence shall one be able to fill these i men with bread” (R. V.) ? On the oth- | er occasion Jesus had asked Philip, who lived in the near-by town of Bethsaida, where they might find bread; but now they are in a desert place. It may seem strange for the disciples to ask such a question. He had fed a- - number with smaller resources, | but is not this precisely what we are in constant danger of doing? Present difficulties always outweigh past deliverances. If, however, we -will but remain with Jesus we too shall be fed. No hunger is too great, no difficulty 1* unsurmountable if we remain close by his side. After taking stock (v. 5) Jesus commands the people to sit-down. He received their seven loaves (v. 6) and brake and gave, first to the disciples, and through them to the people. Such as they had, first given to him, responding to his touch, was enough and to spare (v. 8). When we give him oui all he will bless, multiply and use.

DECIDEDLY IN SECOND PLACE » Only One Way In Which Mr. Hatchett Wae Known, and He Didn’t at All Appreciate It. Hannah Holden Hatchett was known as “the pagan poetess ” She had published three books. And she had married one man. The names of h°r books were “Venus and Adonis.”" “Pipes of Pan” and “Airs From Arcadie. “The z name or her husband was Michael Moses Hatchett. Mrs. Hatchett went to parties. Mr. Hatchett went to business. But once Mrs. Hatchett got Mr. Hatchett to stay away from business and go to a party $ with her. The party was given by Mrs. Benjamin Bonaparte Motley. Mrs. Motley introduced her guests to Mrs. Hatchett. And to Mr. Hatchett also. “This is Mrs. Hatchett,” said Mrs. Motley. “I am so glad to meet you!" said Mrsj Faddle. “I have set your 'Ode to Olympus’ to sweet, soothing music and have made a lovely little lullaby out of it.” “Dear me!” said Mrs. Hatchett. “This is Mr. Hatchett," said Motley. "Mrs. Hatchett’s husband?" said Mrs. Faddle. “Yes,” said Mr. Hatchett proudly; “you bet!” “This is Mrs. Hatchett,” said Mrs. Motley to a second woman. “I just adore your ‘Nectar and Ambrosia,’ ” said Mrs. Havoc. "I do my own cooking, and while I boil the coffee and fry the eggs, I always chant the refrain!” 1 “Good gracious!" said Mrs. Hatchett. “This is Mr. Hatchett," said Mrs. Motley. “Mrs. Hatchett’s husband?” said Mrs. Havoc.

Green, the great lecturer, gave this “beauty recipe" in one of his i addresses: “Hear some beautiful mus1 ic, see a beautiful picture, read some ’ beautiful literature every day.” All I this, recognizing the close relation between soul and body, Is perfectly I reasonable. It is better than all cos- ; metics. rouges or drugs ever heard of. J The picture, the music, the literature ! impresses the mind, which gives form : and tone to the physical expression. Os course, this little experience must, be sincerely considered, unselfishly and lovingly done. A put on appreciation of. art will not avail. The true love of the beautiful makes beauty. This is a scientific fact, as sure and steadfast as that sugar will sweeten coffee. But one has to get meanness, ill will, suspicion, revenge out of one’s heart, to make good use of the recipe ; to give play to the beauty of the art. The starry sky, the songs of the birds, a glimpse of woods, a flower sprinkled lawn these have the same | effect. They make beauty for whoever loves them sincerely. —Ohio Stat? I Journal.

Told of Lillian Russell. This story is somewhat belated —but then a yarn about one of Lillian Russell’s marriages is always worth while. It is alleged by those of her friends who attended her most recent cere mo.ny that when the officiating clergy man turned over to her newly-made husband the signed marriage cer tificate, Mr. Moore seemed somewhat puzzled.

Miss Russell shook her head at him reproachfully. "Why, no, Alexander,” said she. I haven f enough to make a book.” No Honor at All.

Then he told him how he appreciated his work and adjured to keep it up The district dignitary stowed away the perfecto to smoke of a Sunday and after he had consumed it took a spin on the handcar to put it all over the fofeman of the adjoining section. The latter listened to the narrative with poorly assumed control. • "Was the see-gar lighted when he gave it to ye?” he inquired. "Not on yer life—why so?” "Well, because he sint for me three months ago—alongside his car—and tkrun wan at me, but it was burnin’.” Mine of Antiquities.
