and there was scarcely a dry eye
among those various officials who CALI

1t Ia Frederic Harrison who says
that the man of culture in politics Is
one OF the poorest mortals alive" But
Col. Roosevelt has shown that the man
OF culture can WELD great influence in
political life; and that men of culture
nave as great opportunities before
them In American as in European life.
IL is the lot of too many men Of So
called culture that they really are not
men OF culture at all, but that they
belong to the affected class of men
whom Matthew Arnold called "our
parbarians." And If this lackadaisi-

could teach them il would not be so
difficult to reconcile politics and the
scholar. in this country.
When Colonel Roosevelt was asked
one day what he would do with the city

order them to work." said he as quick
as the snap of gunlock. IT have

side Pat Duggan as with the last de-
scendant of a patroom; it literally
makes no difference to me as long as
the work is good and the man is in
earnest" No such wisdom as this was
learned at Harvard. And 1t is no
small tribute to the confidence which
this man is capable of inspiring even
in men who never saw him-and most
of whom were also aware that he had

from every part Of the Union more
freely staked their lives upon Colonel
Roosevelt's judgment and were less
afraid to die II necessary in his COM

commander.
Roosevelt is a man With a future
who has learned human nature on the
prairies, and who can turn his knowl-
edge to account upon the tented fields.
II the war progresses he is also NOR
ally certain to make a creditable rec
ord there. He is no mere canting
theorist. but broad guage practical
man whose education in the world be-
gets the highest confidence in his Ca
pacity to face the future-a future that
is quite likely to have no room for
mere men of leisure. but which may
be depended upon even to put itself
to some inconvenience in order to
make room for mel Of the stamp of

The Yellowstone National Park is
unquestionably one of the most inter-
estlng regions on the globe, for within

You Don't Need to Believe This.

A surgeon in a neighboring county
was called to treat COW that had
swallowed an alarm clock. Several
children had been playing on the hay
NOW, and had small alarm clock
with them. which they left there, and
1t got among the hay that was fed to
the COW, and she managed to swallow
the time piece. When Mrs. Brown
MIXED the COW that evening she heard
the familiar alarm inside the COW.
The doctor was puzzled, and finally
decided to give the COW dose of snuff
as an experiment. He got her to
sneeze, and up came the clock, which
was wound up tightly. The doctors
theory was that the key was against
the wall of the stomach, the r1otion of
which kept it wound up.

die as other men are while in bed.
That Colonel Roosevelt understands
the west and its matters, and appre-
ciates them, is proven by the hearty
manner in which he has elucidated its
phases in his many wo. KS. And in
nothing is this broad and American
view so well borne out as in consider

New Ose for the Sunfower.

A new use has been found for the
sunfower. The sticky substance
which exudes from it has been made
into covering for bicycle tires. The
homely sunfower is rapidly coming to
the front as a useful article. Its seeds
make excellent food for cattle, its oil
is equal to the best linseed oil, and
its stalks are, pounds for pound, a
better heat producing product than
coal.

She now poured full broadside into

and constant upon both sides. After

the Constellation to run athwart her

where the Frenchman was weakest,
maintaining this position for whole
hour, pouring in broadside after broad
side and receiving a heavy fre occa-

eighteen pound ball struck the Constel-

shadow OF the enemy again-and which

away in the direction in which the
Constellation was last seen-the Amer
lean vessel now opened a heavy fire
upon her starboard battery which soon
d1smounted every gun upon the
Frenchman's deck. About 4: 30 in the
afternoon OF the day-the engagement
beginning at nine in the morning-the
Constellation dropped astern, crossed
the enemy's wake and was about to
sink the stranger with all on board

found to be the French 36-gun frigate
LInsurgente.
Both the Constellation and the LIN
surgente were rated as 36-gun frigates.

French pound was eight per cent.
heavier than the English pound. Thus
a French 12-pound shot weighed l3
English pounds and a French 24-pound
shot was the equivalent in destructive
effect to 26 English pounds. After a
similar encounter on the morning of
Feb. 1, 1900, between the Constellation
and the 40-gun-frigate La Vengeance
and after the superiority Of American
to European ships had been establish
ed, the hostile attitude of the French
Directory was changed and no further
interference was attempted by France

American and French fleets Napoleon
replaced the feeble and incompetent
members of the Directory, President
Adams again sent his ENJOYS to Par,o
