expense of duty. .Neither man nor
woman is really happy or really useful
save on condition of doing his or her
duty. If the woman shirks her duty
as housewife, as home keeper, as the
mother whose prime function is to bear
and rear a sufficient number of chil

regard. But if she does her duty she
is more entitled to our regard even
than the man who does his duty; and
the man should show special considera

men and women oa the farms stand for
what is fundamentally best and most
needed in our American life. Upon
the development of country life rests
ultimately our ability, by methods of

over any other clan.
I desire to take counsel with the
farmers only as fellow citizens. It is
not the problem of the farmers alone
that I am discussing with them, but a
problem which affects every city as
well a severy farm in the country. It
is a problem which the working farm
ers will have to solve for themselves;
but it is a problem which also affects
in only less degree all the rest of us,
and therefore if we can render any
help toward its solution, it is not only
our duty but our interest to do so.
The foregoing will. I hone, make it
clear why I appointed a commission to
consider problems of farm life which
have hitherto had far too little atten
tion, and the neglect of which has not
only held back life in the country, but
also lowered the efficiency of the whole
nation. The welfare of the farmer is
of vital importance and consequeuce
to the welfare of the whole community.
The strengthening, of country life,
therefore, is the strengthening of the
whole nation.
The commission has tried to help
the farmers to see clearly their own
problem and to see it as a whole: to
distinguish clearly between what thejourface the Itching stops forever and J When Mother packs the trunk, she lays

THEODORE. ROOSEVELT,
The White House, Feb. 9th, 1909.
The Retort Worthy.
Maj. Throckmorton, an innkeeper of
Louisville in antebellum days, was one
of the most interesting characters that
ever helped to make life worth living j
or history worth reading. Here are I
some of his deeds: He ejected Charles
Dickens, the great English novelist,
from his hotel, and he made at least
one retort worthy to be handed down
from generation to generation.
"Get this man's horse,", said the
major to his hostler (the man had in
sulted one cf the major's guests);
"that little Arkansas pony."
"I'll let you know," shouted the
man, "that, I, am, not from Arkansas,
and my horse is no Arkansas pony,
either!" And then in a still louder
tone he called cut: "I'll let you know
that I am a gentleman!"
The major answered: "And I'll let
you know that I am a gentleman!"
"And I'll let you know," yelled the
big man, '"that I am Col. Wilson of
Woodvilie, Miss."
"And I'll let you know," vociferated
the major, -"that I am Maj. Aris Throck
morton of the Blue Licks, Ky."
"And I'll let you know," screamed the
jbig man, "that I run for the State
Senate m my deestrick last summer,
and that I was beat four votes!"
' And I'll lot ycu know," shrieked
the major, "that I ran for the State
Senate, in this district last summer and
that I was beat 400 votes!"

Irish ancestry, a man of fine literary

Bryan comes of English stock. Her
mother's father was Col. Darius Dex

three children and grandmother of
two at the age of 47, Mrs. Bryan is
still confidante and helper of her hus

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe has sent a
letter to the London Times in answer

America for nearly ninety years and
thinks she knows conditions here bet
