A ROAST FOR ROOSEVELT
Theodore Roosevelt, erstwhile pres-l
ideitt, present hunter and magazine
writer, has turned philosophical critic |
and has attacked the writings of Tol
-loi. It is not difficult to understand
why Mr. Roosevelt fails to under I
stand the gentle Tolstoi. Roosevelt !
is a dyed in the wool advocate of
Urce. His opinions he would raui;
Otiwn the throats of the world with a j
bayonet. He is the judge and jury, j
He believes that mankind. asid< )
fr iu himself, needs ruling. He isl
physically strong and mentally satis- 1
i". d. j
Compared with Roosevelt. Tolstoi ,
is as a lamb to a lion. His heart is
.1 strand upon which every wave of
h man sorrjw rolls and breaks. He
believes iu the Sermon on the
,'lount and literally lived it. He
was a Christian socialist antl the
Greek church excommunicated him
Ui cause he was too great to sub |
scribe to their dogmatic rigramarole.
He gave all he had to the poor and
;? lied in the field with the liberated
?iris and taught them the first lesson
?>f liberty, gentleness and love.
Truly, a huntsman who neglects
the weak and lowly all about him
to g,? into the jungle to kill harm
1< ss giraffes and big hearted patient [
elephants, has nothing but sneers for!
lor the sympathetic philosopher who
would not set foot upon a worm.
Humanity is a better judge than i
Roosevelt. The verdict of posterity,
vheu dogma and superstition and
savagery and force have given place
to love and gentleness, will correct
ly estimate the philosophy of the
two men and say which was true. ? !

JEFF WILL FIGHT.
Everything comes out all right ? sor-j
ruvs are but bubbles! Now we know 1
t!>at Jeff will fight, gone are all our i
troubles! Let the blooming octopus
make its worse endeavor; let the ta
riff tinkers fuss on and on forever;
I**" the garlic-scented Turks do their '
stunt of gunning; let the British |
voter eroak o'er his country's navy;
from the Big and Dusky Smoke, Jeff,
will knock the gravy! Joy at last [
has come to keep carnival with rea- !
son: too much Johnsing made usj
weep for a little season; too much
Johnsing kept our rage ever fiercer
waxin"; we deplored the vanished j
Pxe of the Anglo-Saxon, but again |
our hearts are light, and the skies
are sunny: Jeff announces that he'll
fight ? for a bunch of money. ? Walt
Mason.
It is but necessary to accept the
truth in its entirety and to repent
c mpleely in order to understand that
1 o one has. nor can anybody have
rights, privileges and special claims
in the matter of life, and that there i
is no end to the duties of man. and
that the first duty of man is to par
ticipate in the struggle with nature
f?>r his own life and the life of other
people. ? Count Tolstoi.
TWO WAYS.
W
?OULDST thou be wretched? 'Tla
an easy way.
Think but of self, and self
alone, all day
Think of thy pain, thy grief,
thy loss, thy care.
All thou hast to do or feel or bear.
Think of thy goou. thy pleasure or thy
gain.
Think only of thyself. "Twill not be vain.
Wouldst thou be happy? Take an easy
way.
Think of those round thee? live for them
all day.
Think of their pain, their loss, their grief.
their care,
All that they have to do or feel or bear.
Think of their pleasure, of their good,
their gain.
Think of those round thee. It will not be
vain.

First Case a Rash Which Itched and
Stung? Threatened Ten Years
Later With Blood-Poison in Leg
?But Both Times the Sufferer's
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
PROVED WELL-FOUNDED
"About twelvo or fifteen years ago,
while living in West Virginia. I had a
breaking-out, and it itched and stung so
badly tliat I could not have any |>eaco
because of it. I saw three doctors and
they did not agree on what it was. so
one of them gave ine something that ho
colled medicine, but I called it soda
water. I might just us well have
washed in rain-water. Then 1 got some
Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and
Cutieurn Resolvent and began to get
better right away. They cured n?> and
I have not been bothered with the itch
ing since, to amount to anything.
About two years ago I had la grinpe
and pneumonia which left me with a
pain in my side. Treatment ran it into
mv leg. w-hich then swelled and l>egan
to" break out. It got in pretty bad
shape, so I went to a doctor. He was
afraid it would turn to blood-poison.
1 used his medicine but it did no good.
So I sent for another sot of the Cuticura
Remedies. I used them three times
and cured the bn-aking-oiit on my leg.
Xow I won't without Cuticura.

There Is certainly an mr of refine
ment and style about tho
EATON, CRANE & PIKE
writing papers, but those are by 11
means tho only requisites that they
possess. These papers are beautl
f>.; to look at, agreeable to the touch,
take the stamp of the monogram die
to perfection, have a most pleasing
writing surface;, and are absolutely oo
rcct as to size and shape.
Wo carry many of tho Eaton,
Crane & Pike writing papers, and can
recommend them all.
We also recommend other lines of
our complete stationery stock, such a
