WHITE REGARDS HIMSELF
as a candidate, and yet there is no tell
ing what is in a mans mind. White is
an able man and good fellow, but he
is too quick and irritable to be sue
cessful in politics. l imagine that he
recognizes this himself. He made a
great many enemies in his race for the
Collectorship, and he seems to have
made enemies unnecessarily. But for all
that, White is big man and would do
great credit to the State if elected to
the United States Senate
"Mr. White processes to prefer the
election CT Judge Golf to the United
States Senate" remarked the reporter.
Yes, but Mr. White ought to know,
and probably does, that Judge Golf
would not accept the Senatorship if
rendered him. There is one place. and
only one, that Judge Golf would accept,
and that is on the bench CT the United
States Supreme Court"
Whom do you regard as the strong
candidate for the United States SEN
ate?''
"The candidates who stand at the
head OF the list and appear 10 be
strongest in point OF ability and polit-
ical backing are Governor Atkinson and
N. B. Scott"
But Mr.. Scott wants to be Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue?"
II believe he is a candidate for that
office, but that doesn't matter. Even if
he gets the appointment he would re-
sign it for the Senatorship. There is
one thing about the candidacy of Akin
son and Scott that can hardly be said
about any other two candidates that
you might name. and that is
THEY ARE FRIENDS
they are not antagonistic one to the
other Each one would prefer the cleo
ton Of the other to anybody else if he
could not get it himself. If the Cover
nor should find that he did not have
strength enough to succeed he would
pull the strings for Scott, and if Scott
should find that his name was Dennis
or mud, he would leg for the Governor
with his might. They might with
profit pool their strength and play
game of craps to decide who would
occupy Mr.. Faulkners seat in the
United States Senate"

was out West a good part Of the sum-
mer and when 1 got back 1 buckled
down to business and have been hard
at work ever since, paying little at
tention to politics"
Nevertheless Mr.. Miller did not say
he was net a candidate for the Sen
ate. But he is wise not to talk much
about it at this time, because, as the
months so by, it Will become more
and more plain, that the Republicans
will not be in it in West Virginia, and
in several other States when the time
comes to elect the new crop Of United
States Senators. Not few Republi-
cans admit this now in private. They
concede that only a miracle can pre-
vent the Democrats from electing a
big majority of the members of the
Fifty-sixth Congress, and in all human
probability control of the State Legis-
latures in many States now Republic
can will go with control of Congress.
Mr.. Miller said he did not expect
to get passed many Of the bills which
he introduced at the extra session.
Most of the bills are of private ma
ture and these it is very difficult to
get action on.

Congressman Dorr has rooms on Grant

the city, where he is accessible to his
friends in the evening, and where, I'd
doubt, there will be many quiet raj
lies of the anti-civil service reformers
this winter. Mr.. Dorr is hot against
the civil service laws, but it would ap-
pear that little can be done to secure
their modification in view of the at
titude taken on the question by the
President in his message.

Black silk Null Rufiies.

Some of the prettiest effects of last
season were obtained by the liberal
use of gathered black silk null
ruffles, and the liking for them has
extended beyond that one season.
The capes, many of the gowns and
collarettes have them, and they
are pretty. To be entirely fashion
able they should be cut on the
straight and roll hemmed and the
upper edge folded down and gath
cred with long stitches in Spanish
style. That gives the round, irregu-
lar fold which distinguishes this
kind of ruffle. In some cases it is
not hemmed, but bound with mar
row satin ribbon, hand sewed, and
one row of narrow satin ribbon is
run on just below the binding.
For trimming a cape it is sewed
down the openings in front and all
around the lower edge, while around
the neck is triple row, forming n
very full ruff. This black silk null
ruff1ing is also used as trimming up
on waists of all kinds, except print,
and upon some silk shirt waists. II
is put around the bottom of grena-
dine and black net skirts, and it is
in order for all the lighter silks in
the way of jabOts and rutfies. Full

Good Advice,

Theodore Roosevelt was not al
ways the fluent orator and ready
eXtemporaneOus speaker that he is
to-day, says the Times Herald, but
this is not matter of surprise, as
precocity is never proof of greatness,
although it has in many instances
charact erized those who afterward
became great. Theodore Roosevelt
was wide-awake, hustling youth,
good at his books, but better at his
sports, lover of all outdoors, and a
healthy, hearty, sturdy American
boy. At school he was required to
write essays, deliver oratiOns,
'speak pieces" just as are all
schoOlboys in these modern days,
and his old playmates still delight
to relate how Ted" brought down
the house by his method of render
ing that old standby, Marco Boz
Zaris.
Everybody knows at least the be-
ginning of the stirring poem:-
"At midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour
When Greece, her knees in suppliance
bent,
Should tremble at his power"
When young Roosevelt's turn
came to speak he rose with all con-
fidence and began,-
"At midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour
When Greece, her knees"
Then his memory failed him, and
he repeated
"'Greece, her knees"
In vain; his memory stubbornly
refused to work. Once more he
shouted desperately
"'Greese, her knees"
The old professor looked over his
spectacles and encouragingly re-
marked,-
Grease her knees once more,
Theodore; perhaps she'll go then"

If you expect your children to be
polite when you are rude, gentle
when you are harsh, considerable of
Others when you are selfish, and
religious when you are saturated
with worldiness, then you are sure
to be disappointed.
Your integrity is your most
precious possession, and should be
held fast to with even a more than
usually tenacious grip when every
thing else is lost.
To circulate an injurious story
which you do not know to be true is
nearly as bad as to aid in giving cur

not true.

The pink apple blossom is just out of
reach,
Though you stand on the tips of your
toes
A lesson has Nature she wishes to teach,
Strive not for the blossom, nor weep at
defeat,
But patiently wait for awhile
All things come in time-and the mo-
ments are fleet,
Soon your frown will give place to a
smile.
The blossoms will die but the good fruit
will grow,
1t will ripen in sun and in rain,
The weight of the apple will bend the
bough low
And the waiting will be TO your gain.
Seek not the bright buds that will fade
in day,
But await the sweet fruit God will
The buds may be high and be out of
your way, .,
While the boughs at the harvest will

when Loving Mothers Grow Selfish.
ut is when children reach maturi-
ty that the supreme test of parental
love comes" writes Edward w.
Box, discussing the hOme-leaving
of children at time of marriage, in
the May Ladies' Home Journal.
"All through infancy and early
years the children are more or less
care. And then, just as the parents
feel relieved from cares and
anxieties, and are beginning to en-
Joy the companionship of their chill
dren in the serene and compliment
way which 'grown-ups' have, there
comes fluttering of the wings, a
remote suggestion of flight. The
son is no less his mothers boy than
he has been and ever will be. But
he Island who realizes it so quickly
as a mother?-in a new and very
natural sense, another womans
hero; and that woman girl. With
her he dscerns, away out on the
horizon line, the shadowy lines of a
house that is to become a home, their
very own. The girl, too, whose
going in and out of the house has
been a daily joy to the parents-she
too, has become a heroine to some
one other than her father or hel
mother. 1t is hard for the parents
to realize that this mate Of her flight
can care for her as they have; that
in her young eyes, in her young
heart, it is possible that he can be
altogether noble and capable! And
after the young birds have taken
flight the parents wonder it some
times they do not grieve in theil
new life. But some fine morning a
clearer vision is given them, and
they realize that, after all, theil
children are only playing the same
role which they played few years
before. 1t is magnificent quality
in parents when they so prepare
themselves that they can meet thi;
inevitable time with the proper
spirit-when, in other words
parental love can get the better o

There are equal numbers of Moth

with wide, fiat or slightly upturned
brims, are favorites, and they are

loaded, like those of their mothers,

The man with weight on his leg
can't hope to win in the race. A man
with a weight on his health can't ex-
pect to compete in life and business
with those who are not handicapped. If
his brain is heavy, and his blood slug
gish, because of constipation, he will
not succeed in doing anything very
well. Constipation is the cause of nine
tenths of all sickness. Symptoms of it
are sallowness, listlessness, poor appe-
tite, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness,
billousness, and lassitude. Constipation
can be cured easily and certainly by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They are not at all violent in their ac-
ton, and yet they are more certain than
many medicines which are so strong
that they put thesystem all out of order.
The great advantage of the Pleasant
Pellets" is that they cure permently.
