of well-known Washington physician.
had 1850 and a consuming ambitiou to
be an actor
A seedy individual. who said untruth-
fully that he was Louis Mann. induced
Roosa to rehearse and applauded him to
the echo and back again. He called sew
eral times and always brought some ap-
plause with him. One day he said: MY
boy, I indeed. have an opportunity to be
Of service to you. You have a chance TO
place the leading manager Of New York
under such obligations that he will glad
ly give you years engagement and keep
you working all summer. Ed has written
TO me that he must have 81. 500 immedi-
ate;y. Now, you give me that much and
will forward it to him"
Roosa gave up. A few days later he
would be told that he could make another
heavy draft on the managers gratitude
by sending on $500. He borrowed the
money and gave It to Mann"
Then the man who was not Mann at all,
disappeared and Roosa is here looking for
him.

Must Play Our Part,
The idea that this nation emerges from

new era where the demands are larger.
is extending. Echoes of this are heard
from all quarters. In the Travellers Rec
ord, Mr.. Patterson says:
I'VE have outgrown the Monroe doc
trine. whatever it was. and the war
ships of our navy have taken high rank
for the protection of our coasts and the
defense of our markets at home and
abroad. The time has already come when
the Administration of our Government at
Washington must provide and protect
the means for a prompt distribution of
our surplus products and industries in
the great markets of the world, or we
shall have trouble at home more costly
than a well-eauipped navy and more
dreadful than a war with Spain. The
surplus products of our agricultural
States are a positive menace to our peace
unless a good and sufficient market is
provided for their consumption. For this
reason we can no longer be indifferent
to the shifting balance of power which
so largely controls the commerce of the
word and the peace of its Inhabitants
"A country without a navy may. like
old China. have a population uncounted
and to spare. and yet be without infiu-
ence and without power to control her
own ports or the products of her own
territory.
"Extemporizing an army or navy to
meet a sudden emergency is the most
dangerous. and by far the most costly.
condition for any nation to be exposed
to. Being always ready Is not only the
most certain guarantee of peace. but 1t
is the most economical. Had the United
States been fully prepared for the pres
ent war with Spain there would have
been no war. and the disturbed relations
would have been settled by diplomacy.
Had Spain been ready. she could in
very short time have inflicted damages
uon our coasts ten times greater than
the cost Of a navy sufficient for prosec-
tion and defense.
