CARTOON OF PRESIDENT.
He and His Wife Represented as
 Dining With Burlv Black.

Baltimore Special to Chicago Tribune
 Maryland Democratic managers. in line with their plan of making the negro question the chief issue of the campaign. are having thousands of Autographs of a cartoon struck State. ''1'''' -'''-e"OU' ''''
 The plate from which the cartoon is printed tertsinment by President Roosevelt in the White House of Booker T. Washington,
 In the upper corner of the picture is a carl ing hands with burly looking negro, who smiles as the President says: 'T wish you this afternoon. Below the same negro is represented as sitting at the table with MT. sively cartcatured, Is talking and laughing with him. while Mrs. Roosevelt Is represented smiling and smirkins as she pours tea for them
 The cartoon Is headed in big letters. Tt Has Come to This" and underneath are the words President Roosevelt entertains at dinner in the White House Booker T. Washington. colored'
 The German Basin party probably has the distinction of being the first to cartoon the wife of the President.
 The cartoon has not yet left the hands of the printers and 1t is reported tonight that in view of the expose made oy the newspa- pers and the severe criticism already made by the Baltimore newspapers 1t will not be circulated in the city, but used only in the rural districts
 The Baltimore American in an editorial to- morrow denouncing the cartoon and the cari- caturing of Mrs. Roosevelt, will say:
 If the Democratic State Committee has any control over this cartoon 1t must at once cause it's suppression and the destruction of ever ycopy it can reach.
 Maryland politics must not be degraded to the point where they offer such insults to a woman whom all Americans must honor and respect belonging to the best type of American womanhood and American mother hood.
 Maryland has always made a proud boast of the chivalry of its men. just 1t has Of the beauty and charm of its women. and it will never do to have 1t said of any citizens of this State that they gave their approval to such an outrage as this. Those who have fathered this viainous picture have gone be- yond all bounds and their work is not a ques- tion of politics, but a question of common decencY."

An American Engineer in Russia.

M. G. Cunnif in The Worlds Work
 Modest William McCarroll, type of the American engineer who does things, went to Sergieff, Russia, to set a consign- ment of Baldwin locomotives. He found
 them in parts, filling countless boxes dumped in the snow. A little railroad ran half way to the main line on which
 the engines were to run. The interval was T hummocky waste. The thermom- eter was twenty degrees below zero. One | bV one from the sparse hamlets of the | region he picked up a hundred and tWen- | ty-five Russian peasants; hOisted his 1 boxes with ropes and primitive pries up-
 on fiat cars; ran the cars to the rail | head and scrutinized the steppes.- before l him, ridges, gulies, holes and hills-with | massive lCComOmtive boilers to be trans ported across them. From the scant ma | terials at hand he made great sled | piled snow upon 1t and rolled 8 boiler in | the snow. Half of the hundred peasants | hauled on long rope; the other fifty
 went ahead constructing trestles over the | gullies and cuts through the iron soil of the hiIlocks. Day after day in the | biting cold the human pack animals | dragged those locomotive parts until all
 had reached the .workshop-a frigid Rus | zines could be set up in day; in Russia
 1t took ten weeks for one.
 Nor was there a holiday when the com | pleted engines stood ready on the track. | Water. which froze on the way, had to | be carried half a mile and then melted. | Mild fires had to be maintained to keep | 1t melted. And when at last a wood ] fire was roaring in the fire box of the | first locomotive. and the engine was | proudly pulling up the new track, the ] rails spread two miles from camp and
 the engine went pilot foremost down the
 bank. Consider the plight of a single engineer, with a locomotive on it's nose | in a snow-bank. few wooden levers,

Novel Writing as an Industry.

Worlds Work.
 There have been more than 200 new novels published in the United States this fall There have been perhaps 5000 written that the publishers have de- clined.
 The phenomenal popular success of a few writers of fiction during the last few years-some masters of their craft and some mere stage carpenters who set up spectacular scenes-has had the eff feet of making novel writing appear to make it q business; for regarded as an industry 1t dit5 not pay for the labor 1t required BI./ now 1t is regarded by many as to fortune fortune Lonely ., wo.

Your physician, even your broker men in public life, ladies your own granddaughter for all you know-all these have taken to the secret practice of the craft. For instance, one publishing house, which does not pub fish many novels ooo has within a given given manuscripts. of which $50 were novels. Of these four were accepted for pubiica- ton. A few such facts as these indicate the extent of the delusioh about, the a boy of IA the other day "T want you to buy me a copy of the Century War Book. I am going to write a novel Of
 There are other books that the world wants more than 1t wants novels-histo- riee bioPraphies social studies, adven- lures. These seldom yield sudden for tunes. But there have been men who have made very considerable incomes as historians and biographers. Their in- comes have as often come to their chill dren as to themselves; but almost every imnortant historical work has brought fair reward at last. As a gainful in S,,.t.,, uov.I-yyrtting is not worth the Iahor if costs. As an art 1t is one of inc % noblest and most difficult; and only those who regard 1t as a great art have any right to undertake 1t.

There was a little cook. and she made
a little cake,
She put it in the oven just to bake,

And of everything that's nice,
And she said, An hour, 1 reckon, it
will take. take, takei"
And then that little cook went 10

With very charming cat across the

She forgot the cake, alack!
