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 Sun. 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. New York Post. 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 A Word Breaker. Tine looking old gentleman."

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 The Lady's Pistorial, "the Ham 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.
