ROOSEVELT BY ACCLAMATION. AN UN
HEARD OF CONDITION
In coming oat (or Roosevelt tor a
third term and calling upon bis Inde
pendence league to rally to that stand
ard, Mr. Hearst has done something
that must go far toward re-establishing
him in the esteem of the "community
in which he resides."
Ot course It is not to be expected of
Mr. He-rst that he would think twice
about holding Mr. Roosevelt to his
word in any even*. But then the Hesrst
idea is different.
The Alaskan in rcfering to this third
term business some lime ago remarked
tbat there was just one cocditlon that
could release Mr. Roosevelt from his
pledge given on the night of his elect
ion and that was a nomination at the
bands of both parties. In such case he
would not be a candidate, Even the
matohles* egotism of Mr. Roosevelt
himself did not rise to this possibility
and so be is advocating Mr. Taft with
such sincerity and energy as
to lay himself open to the legit*
imate criticism of very many of his
most sincere admirers. Mr. Roosevelt
is for Taft and he wants everybody to
know it.
The democrats long ago accepted
Roosevelt as one of them, while the
republicans did not want to and bad
they wanted to would not have dared
to repudiate him.
Only a few weeks after his election
the Iroquois club, of Chicago, one of
the representative democratic organ
izations of the nation, entertained
Mr Roosevelt and applauded bis say
ings and h's works. Mr. Bryan, the
democratic chief, has time and again
applauded bim. Mr. Hearst, on the
other hand has been slow to accept
him aad upon occasion has severely
criticised him.
And, aeain, Mr. Hearst recently? so
we are informed by the wire ? allowed
his name to be u?ed as a strengthener
to the Bryan ticket, taking the'second
place. Therefore this announcement
of not merely capitulation but straight
advocacy of the chief of the republicans
tor a third term by Mr. Hearst, though
it may have no effect whatever on the
workings of the two convections, is yet
very interesting as an indication of the
public tamper and an illustration of bow
nearly the great republic has approach
ed the point of choosing a "president by
acclamation.

Lieutenant Johnson, U. S. A., writing
in the March issue of Everybody's mag
azine, holds the United Slates military
system up to scoro.
He refers to the nary as "resptct
able," but says its fighting chance is
impossible of determination.
"We have no army; but what la
worse1' be says, ' We have no system
of defense. In resources we are rich,
in actual p wer we are as poor as 'Job.'
Germany can mobolize 1,000,000 men in

To Tell Pure Coffee.
Denmark Is famous for Its coffee, as
every tourist to that fascinating coun
try can bear witness. A Danish wo
man who lives in New York was
speaking of coffee the other day, tell
ing how to distinguish the various
grades. She took up a cup of "cafe
nolr" and, tilting it gently, asked her
vls-a-vls to examine the side of the
cup closely.
"It leaves a brown mark, doesn't It?"
her companion remarked.
"Yes, It does." the Dane replied,
"and that'B one good way of telling
whether It Is pure coffee or not The
real article always leaves this mark
even on the most delicate porcelain.

They were tourists from a more or
less aristocratic London suburb, and
they were "doing Paris" with the ce
lerity and intelligence for which the
British tourist Is famous. Of course
they went to the Louvre, and by and
by James caught sight of a some
what striking picture and immediate
ly proceeded to express his admiration
in the accepted manner.
""What ho! What price this, eh?"
he said to his companion in adventure.
An attendant standing by had evi
dently studied English to some pur
pose, and, with the courtesy of his
race, he stepped forward.

"That Is a fcurlo"," lie said. "It Is an
old pawnbroker's hook, nn artlclo used
by all our craft In the seventeenth cen
tury. Counters, to prevent theft, were
very wide then, twice as wide as now,
and what you extonded over those
wide counters the broker hooked In
with this instrument The hook, which
was once as much our badge as the
thrco balls, gave rise to the expression
'uncle' as connected with the pawn
broker. The Latin for hook, you
know, Is uncus. Uncus? uncle. See?"

Graft In Old New York.
The first use of the word "graft" in
New York occurred 250 years ago. A
small stream that led from a swamp
through what Is now Broad street was
made Into a ditch with the sides plank
ed to form what is known In Holland
as a "graft" or a canal. Three labor
ers were employed on this Job by the
burgomasters, and a committee of Ave
was appointed to supcrvlso their oper
ation and see that they gave full
value for their pay. The completed
graft was turned over to the under
sheriff with these orders: "He is or
dered to take good care and superin
tendence of the newly constructed
graft and also that the boats, canoes
and skiffs be authorized to operate
therein."
The Thing to Think About. -
Captain Cotlin, one of the old time
whaler3 of Nantucket, had n thrilling
experience with a big sperm whale In
the south Pacific. He had fairly har
pooned the whule when the monster
turned, crushlux the boat In its enor
mous Jaws and scatierlug the crew in
to the waves. The captain found him
self In the whale's jaws, but managed
to wriggle out and was rescued with
his men luckily uninjured.
"Captain Coffin." said a solemn
friend wh?>n the old sailor was relating
the adventure, "what did you think
when you were In the Jaws of that
great whale?"
"Think!" said the captain. "Why, I
thought he'd make a hundred barrels?
and he did."

The Oath In Norway.
The most curious European oath Is
administered in Norway. The witness
raises his thumb, his forefinger and his
middle finger. These signify the Trin
ity, while the larger of the uplifted
fingers Is supposed to represent the
soul of the witness and the smaller
to Indicate his body. Before the oath
Is taken a long exhortation is delivered,
the most materliil parts of which are
as follows: "Whatever person Is so
ungodly, corrupt or hostile to himself
as to swear a false oath or not to keep
the oath sworn sins In such a manner
as if he were to say: 'If 1 swear
falsely, then may God the Father, God
the Son and God the Holy Ghost pun
ish me, so that God the Father, who
created me and all mankind In his
image, and his fatherly goodness, grace
and mercy may not profit me. but that
I, as a perverse and obstinate trans
gressor and sinner, may be punished
eternally In hell. If 1 swear falsely,
then may all 1 have and own In this
world be cursed? cursed be my cat
tle. my beasts, my sheep, so that after
this day they may never thrive or ben
efit me? yea. cursed may I be and
everything I possess.' "
