President Roosevelt tlds
week delivered a sharp re
huke to Chairman Wads
worth of the House Com
mittee on Agriculture that
has been holding hunrimrs on
the Neill-Reynolds report
con'-etHing the dreadful con
di lions prevailing in the
ChitMg.) packing houses
Chairman Wadswortb'satti
(tide throughout the invest-
igation has been remarkable
auit has caused com men c all
over the country arid especi
all v at the Cautto . He has
appeared openly as an advo
cate of the packers and
during the bearings this week
when both Mr. Nf ill and Mr
Reynolds were culled to the
staml, they were cross qus
tioned and treated with as
scant courtesy as though
they had been I he ones under
invesigation instad of the
packers.. This attitude of the
chiirman and some of the
members of the committee
was so marked that other
members of the committee
protested against it and said
that Commissioner Neill and
Mr. Reynolds were at least
entitled to as much courtesy
and consideration as was
bhovinto the representative
of the packers.
The President today wrote
to Mr. Wadsworth and trans
mitted nun the report of the
committee of investigation
appointed by the Secretary
of Agriculture. This report
bore out the general state
ment of Messrs. Neill and
Reynolds, The report was
eniirneo in verv cwiuiujbb
IrtUiiuage, but, theraain facts
were there, disguised as well
as-they "could be under precise
departmental phraseology.
Thp President called the
attention of Mr. Wadsworth
to the fact that there was no
conflict of statement between
the two reports and aided
that the investigation he had
in hand was by no m a u R
finished but that enough hnd
been shown already to prove
that drastic legislation was
necessary to correct the
abuses that had been develop

sex; because, all there is ol good
women is embodied m one trooo
woman, end the praise of her u
tbe praise ol all. I write it be
cause she lived through a beau-
lilul period of forest life, that it
past, and can never be repeated:
but may be enjoyed by the younj!
in a retrospective reyiew of my
mothers, hie.
At the dawn of my recollection
our log cabin stood in the cornei
ot a small oblong clearing; It
looked as if we lived' in a large
box whose sides were corduroyed
vertically with tall trees; aud
over tho chestuut burrs and a
corns that bowed their topmost
twigs, peeped in silent graudeur,
the high mountains that stand
ike the corners of a triangle
around Banner Elk.
Down a little declivity, back of
our stick and mud chimney, a
copious sluice of limped water,
that had been turned through a
liollow locr, poured its louming
volume into a large trough.
Our domestic herds feu upon
wild herbs, whoso crushed flow
ers poured odorB through the
beautiful woods; and at evening
tide, when Sol put his flrey hand
behind bim, and pushed his last
golden billows over the hill tops
to the east, my mother'8 clarion
voice was heard calling the kine.
Her birnd was in everything
11 the orchard, in the garden, on
the udders of the cows, in the
fleece of the sheep, and on the
shuttle as it darted through the
warp of our family;loom.
As the country improved, our
place became a hostlery on a pub
lie highwny. and for many years
she fed the hungry traveler with
out money or price; and at her
door, the needy around her found
(ood arid raiment.
Throughout the prime of hir
life there was no physician near,
and often, in the dark hours ol
night, alrapping was heard at
the door, when ulie arose and
went Ioviuftly to the sick, where
her pleasure was to save life and
her pay grateful hearts!
Our mother's hie rises before
us like a dream like a morning
dream when the sunburKting
the portals of the lay, flosses
tho mountains with pi.ik and
gola, and robin red-breast car
loling from the trees, makes a
sweet impression on our half
wukeful slumbers.
Our deceased loved ones are
not Rone, but their dissolution
as living organisms, has again
placed the elements, of which
thev were com posed, in the earth
and air, as plant tood lor thelit-
tle flowers; snd the matttr that
once colored our mother'syoung
cheek will tint the rosts by our
doors and we will have mother
with us asrain. The air that in
flated her luugs, will swell the
brenBt ol the warbler and wewil!
