Theodore Roosevelt is 8 good one.
In the desperate charge on San Juan
heights, he did not tell his men to 90 !;
but to "come." He led them on
horseback, full hundred feet in ad-
vance, and when his horse was shot
from under him, he landed right side
up, and went on on foot. Roosevelt
is a Republican millionaire. He
went down to Cuba for honor and
glory. Up to date he is entitled to
both. Nothing is cheaper for the
people to give; nothing is more diff
ficult to honestly win. Itis the sacred
duty Of every citizen to freely bestow
them only where they are deserved.

Let Us StOD TO Think,

Let us stop to think of the good
bye kiss. Better miss a car than leave
heartache. Let us stop TO think of
the children. We, too, were children
once and loved to be remembered.
Let us stop to think of the aged.
For us, too, the evening shadows will
close at length and we shall, per-
chance, be left at desolate hearth
stones. We shall need to be remem-
bercd then. Let us stop to think Of
the stranger. We, too, have been
alone and have needed the touch
of a kindely hand upon our lives, and
many life has gone out ~ the
blackncss Of darkness for the lack of
such a touch as any one Of us might t t
have given. Let us stop and think
of God and the future. At best the
time is short and the end is near.
And when it shall come, blessed will
be he to whom The entrance upon
another life will be but the realza-
tion of dear and familiar dreams, tho
consnmmation of lifetime of long
lngs. Let us stop to think. If there
be any virtue, if there be any praise,
let us stop to think upon these things.

a wcll.known judge, noted for his
tendency to explain things to his
jurics, expressed in a recent case his
own ideas with such force that he
was surprised that the jurors thought
of leaving the box. They did loavc
it, however, and were out hours.
inquiring the trouble, tho judge was
told that one of tho twelve was
standing out against the eleven. He
summoned the jury and robuked the
recalcitrant sharply. "Your Honor"
said the juror, "may say a word ?''
"Y es, sir" said the indignant Judge,
