ROOSEVELT AND HEARST.
The country was disgusted to
read a few days ago that Mr.
Hearst pair a social call disgust
ed that Mr. Herast should call
upon the President without a pub
lic apology for the denunciation
the President ordered Mr. Root
to make of Mr. Hearst two years
ago, and disgusted that Mr. Roose
velt should receive a social call
from a man as vile as Mr. Roose
velt said Mr. Hearst was two
years ago. Not in the history of
the country has the prime minis
ter of any administration been;
directed to make so severe a casti
gation of any man as the follow
ing which Mr. Root delivered in
a speech at Utica, New York, on
the first of November.
"I say to you with his (Roose
velt's) authority that he rsgards
Mr. Hearst as wholly unfit to be
Governor, as an insincere, self-
seeking demagogue who is trying
to deceive the workingmen of Jsew
York by false statements and false
promise; I say to you with his
authority that he considers that
Mr. Hearst's election wouljl be an
injury and a discredit alike to hon
est labor and to honest capital
and a serious injury to the work
in which he is engaged of enforc
ing just and equal laws against
corporation wrong-doing. .
"President Roosevelt and Mr.
Hearst stand as far as the poles
asunder. Listen to what Presi
dent Roosevelt himself has said
of Mr. Hearst and his kind. In
President Roosevelt's first mes
sage to Congress,, in speaking
of the assassin of McKinley, he
spoke of hfm as inflamed "bthe
reckless utterance of those who,
on the stump and in the publie
press, appeal to the dark and evil
spirits of malice and greed, envy
and sullen hatred. The wind is
sowed by. the man who preached
such doctrines, and they cannot es
cape their share of responsibility
for. the whirlwind that is reaped.
Thisi applies alike to the deliber
ate demagogue, to tho txploiter ol
sensationalism and to the crude
and foolish visionary .who for
whatever reason apologises for
crime or excites airn'oss discon
tent."
4 1, say, by the President's au
thority; that in penning these
words, with the horror of Presi
dent -McKinley 's murder fresh be
fore him, he had Mr. Hearst spec
ially in his mind.
And I say, by- his authority,
that 1 what he thought of Mr.
Hearst - then he - thinks . of Mr.
Hearst now."
The thoughtful American peopb
thought Jhen .that - the denuncia
tion v was undeserved bv Mr.
Hearst i and it was unworthy of the
president of the republic. The
fact that Mr. Hearst called to see
Mr. ;: Roosevelt without a public
apology of the- above has almost
donejmore to cause the-New York
editor Fo lose the respect of the
public than his joining hands with
Roosevelt during the campaign to
elect the candidate desired by
Rockefeller, Carmgie and the other-trust
magnates. r The people
, have been suggesting reasons for
the .present social - relations be
tween Mr. Roosevelt s and Mr.
Hearst. The ' following from the
New" York World seems ihe best :
"Possibly Mrr Hearst's -service
in attacking Haskell, in exposing
Poraker's . relations-with Standard
Oil. arid in. opposing the election
of the-IFejnocratinc national ticket
in theV recent .campaign are now re
garded by Mrr.Roosevelt -as ' full
atonement .for . past offenses, and
of . such a nature as to warrant
'social' relations r between Mr.
Hearst ahd himself . :
" After ;all,-vhy.should there be
enmity between-two statesmen and
journalists who have so much in
common?" News and Observer.
Did the Best He Knew.
Oeordle Horn was a character well
known among the country- folk of the
Scotch highlands twenty-five years ago.
He belonged to a class rather hard to
classify, for he was neither a tramp
nor a farm hand, although frequently
following the habits of both. Wan
dering from farm to farm, the greater
part of the time he was kindly treated
and hospitably entertained generally.
While he was a man of unusual
strength, he was mentally weak and
exceedingly lady.
'He's a gle cute chiel, though slow
in the uptack". (understanding), was
the way a good many described him.
One day he arrived at his friend the
doctor's and complained of a severe
pain In his breast The doctor handed
him a plaster, with instructions to put
it on his chest, without delay. Geordie
gave him one of his knowing looks
and took his departure. The doctor!
met him a few days later and Inquired
how he was feeling now. Geordie re
plied, "Nae better.". ".Did you do as I
told you with the plaster?" the doctor
went on. ,
"Weel, no, not exactly. I done the
best I could. I didn't have a chest, sae
I stuck it on my bandbox" (hat box).
An Expensive Dollar.
Not long ago in this town a kind
friend of-tbe family gave one of the
kids a dollar. Of course it was too
much to let the kid get out and spend
for candy and gum, so It was reli
giously put up on the sideboard or
some other safe place to be kept just
for what the deponent saith not. In
about a week the juvenile owner of
the big round coin , remarked at the
breakfast table, "Pfipn, mamma spent
my dollar yesterday
The head of
the house took the
iht and fished up
another dollar, whic
like its prede-
cessor, was placed in a good safe place
to keep.
During the next month by a careful
ly tabulated record which he kept on
his cuff he repaid this elusive dollar
Just thirteen "times. So at the end of
the month you will not be surprised to
learn that our friend sent the donor of
the original dollar this curt note:
Dear Sir Inclosed you will find a check
for $1. It's the dollar you gave our
youngster. I return it simply to avoid
bankruptcy. Already it has cost me some
where between fifteen and twenty.
Lamah (M 0.) Democrat.
Dollar Fish.
"Have you any dollar fish here?" a
woman asked of one of the attendants
at the aqirlum.
While he question may seem curi
ous, it us really very simple, for the
dollar .sh is only a young moonfish.
Tb moonfish Is a curious but beau
tlfo creature, almost round in shape
at v extremely thin and having the
lorellest of pearly sides. It swims on
edge, so that It always presents its
sides of pearl to view. It takes Its
name from Its. shape and because,
further, In color it suggests the silvery
moon.
xoung moonnsn of tne size of a
standard suver dollar and they are
scarcely any thicker are called dollar
fishes because of their resemblance to
that coin in size and shape and color,
and the woman making the inquiry
about dollar fishes was duly Informed
that there was none In the tanks at
the present time, but that they did
have them occasionally. New York

Three Sabbaths Each Week In Tangier.
Morocco is a country of many Sab
baths. The first three days I spent in
Tangier were all Sabbaths. Arriving
on a Thursday night, the next day was
Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath,
which was followed by the Jewish
Sabbath the Hebrew element in Tan
gier is considerable and strict In re
ligious observance and that in turn
by the-Christian Sunday. Subsequent
comparison, however, revealed little
difference between any days of the
week: On the Mohammedan Sabbath
a black flag is hoisted on the minarets
at the prayer of dawn, instead of the
white-flag that announces the time of
devotions on other days. It remains
up until the middle of the forenoon,
by; which time- everybody is supposed
to have found out what day it is.

The Word "Charlatan."
"Charlatan," says a writer in the
London Chronicle, "is companion to
'quack in our vocabulary,, and of this
word the origin is certainly Italian
It is 'clarlatano, merely a chatterer,
and describes the traveling doctor In
his cart who used to offer in an over
whelming torrent of talk his pills to
villagers, in the market place. He was
a dentist as . well as a physician and
wrenched out the tooth in public. The
genus is not yet entirely extinct.1

GERMAN MEN BLOSSOM OUT.
In Berlin They Are Wearing Col
ored Evening "Clothes.
New York Sun.
In Berlin a really serious effort
is being made to introduce colored
evening dressor men, and so far
the favorite color seems to be the
very deepest shade of violetj
which is not obstrusive and is yet
effective. In the .smart restaur
rants in Berlin several efolored
suits have been seen, some being
of dark blue, one or two of brown,
and at least one of maroon."
"Englishmen" do not readily
adopt fashions that come to them
from the "continent, commn$s

burg hat being the most notice
able exception: to the rule. There
seems to them a suggestion xxfl
comic opera about them. But as
wo have so- long discussed the?
desirability of colored evening
dress it may be that our men may
adopt this mode, although it is
made in Germany. One feels
sure men will be warmly encour
aged by our sex if they do break
away from the conventional suit
of solemn black. 'V
