The Kangaroo Mouse,

IN exploring the Black canyon Of tbs

gloom of that frightful gorge.

enimals discovered is the kangaroo

1he Jumping mouse also was found
y the Black canyon. This freak Is

1t will not astonish any one to hear
that of fowls pullet Is to be preferred,
while brakes are fatter than ducks. But
It may be news to some to be told that
old cocks and hens make the best soup.
Ovens will not bake well unless the
fues and bottoms are clean. When an
oven burns on the bottom, cover it half
an inch with clean sand; if 1t burns on the
top, put layer of sand or ashes over it.
The cooking school rule for proportion
of water and rice for boiled rice is from
three to three and half times as much
water as there is rice. The amount varies
according TO the age Of the rice, old rice
requiring more water than new.

II have no wish to excuse or hide
our faults, for hold that it is often
the best American who strives hardest
to correct American shortcomings.
Nevertheless l am just as little dispos-
ed to give way to undue peSsimism az
to undue and arrogant optimism. In
speaking Of my own countrymen there
Is one point upon which wish to Law
special stress. That is the necessity
for feeling of broad, radical. intense
Americanism if good work is to be
done in any direction. Above ALL the
one essential for success in every no
iitical movement which is to do lasting
good is that our citizens should act as
Americans, not as Americans with q
prefix and qualifications-not as Irish
Americans. COMMUNICATIONS native
Amerlcans-but as Americans pure and
simple. In short the most i'm
portant lesson taught by the history of
New York city is the lesson of Ameri-
caniSm. the lesson that he among us
who wishes to win honor in our life
and to play his part honestly and man
fully must be indeed an American in
spirit and purpose, in heart and thought
and deed
President Roosevelt has strong
views, but he does not force them up
on others. He is devoted to his wife
and children. and his home is an ex-
ceptionally happy one.
This home is large country mansion
Of three stories and thirty rooms. In
old Dutch style, it has towering gables
and enormous chimneys. 1t rests like
crown on Sycamore hill, which on
every side slopes away to Oyster bay,
on the Long Island coast. The Roose-
welt property occupies peninsula, and
the occupants of the house have
sweeping view of the waters of the
sound on three sides of it and the green
country at its rear. 1t is an ideal place
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1901-09-20

piles of books on hunting the big game
IN Africa and the East Indies, but the
things of which he is proudest are his
guns. His private library numbers
o,oOO volumes. He has the finest col
lection of books on big game to be
found in this country. Roosevelt be-
comes fluent when among his books
and eloquent when among his guns.
This is the kind of man President
Roosevelt is. And he will be the same
man in the White House as he was in
Oyster Bay or in Albany a student,
reformer, fighter and thoroughly
American.

Cumherland Rant 11-Iudra David

Cumberland, Sept. 11.-Judge David
w. Sloan appeared ON the bench at
Oakland for the September term OF the
Garrett circuit court. Chief Judge Boyd
was also present. Judge Sloan charged
the grand jury and referred to the
fact that the state game warden had
called the attention of the court to the
killing OF fish in Garrett streams with
dynamite. The court placed the mat
ter in the jury's hands FOR thorough
investigation 1t appears that the Of
tenders who dynamited Savage river
for number of miles came from West
Virginia, getting off an accommodation
train at an isolated point, so as to
make their identity hard to discover.
Many fish were killed. 1t is probable
that if the crime can be definitely fas-
tened acquisitions may be asked for tho
culprits. George l.. Michaels is fore

The Cuban Constitution.

The Cuban constitution, as it has
been drafted and will probably be
adopted, is, in many respects, similar
TO that Of the United States. Cuba
is declared to be ga sovereign and
independent State under rcpubli-
can form OF government" The pro-
vision for citizenship is as liberal as
ours. The guarantees OF personal
liberty, religious freedom, freedom
Of speech and Of the press, are simi.
lar to those in our Constitution.
The President is to be elected by a
direct popular vote, ian absolute
majority thereof cast on one single
day" being essential to election.
Tho ,crm of Office is for period of
four years. The President may be
reelected, but is Ineligible for third
consecutive term. The Vice Pres-
dent has powers and authority SINH
lar to ours The Congress is to be
composed of a Senate and House of
Representatives. The Senate will
consist Of thlrtysiX members, elected
Tor six years, onc-third retiring
every two years. The House will
have one member for every $4,000
inhabitants, or fraction above l2,500.
The House members are to be
elected for four years, ono half the
membership retiring every two
years. The Congress has powers
similar to ours. The judicial power
is vested in a supreme court, and it
Is provided that "justicc shall be
ministcrrd graluitously." The Judges
OF the court are to bc appointed by
the President with the approval Of
the Senate and are to hold Office
during good behavior. Each Of the
six Provinces is to have II Governor
elected for three years and a "dc-
par'mcntal assembly" elected for
three years. These Provinces are
given the right Of independent
action in their local affairs, provided
that no law is enacted inconsistent
with the Cuban constitution.
Municipalities are given powers
and privileges not enjoyed by towns

in the United States. Here the
municipality is recognized as crea-
ture of the State, having no powers
which the Legislature does not
bcstow. But the Cuban constitu-
ton prohibits the "dcpartmental
assemblies" or Province Legislatures
from enacting any law that shall be
antagonistic "to that which pertains
to the inherent right of the munich
palitics." The most liberal home
rule is given to the towns, and these
towns are Immediately governed by
mayor and board of councilmen.
The Cuban Congress is given
authority over telegraphs and rail
roads.
On the whole, the draft Of the
Cuban constitution is a meritorious
document. Such errors as it has are
for the most part copied from our
own constitution, and we are not in
position to criticisc them until we
adopt amendments here.
The people demonstrated their
right to liberty by their willingness
to fight for it. The proceedings of
Cuba's Constitutional Convention
have demonstrated that the fortunes
of the people of that island arc more
secure in the hands of Cuban states
men than they would be in the Gus
tody of American politicians
