THE CORRECT WAY.
Should he Pronounced Accord
ing to Himself

No name in America is so commonly
mispronounced 'as that of our pres
ident. 1t is Roosefelt, Rozyeldt,
Roozeyfelt, or RozzyveH whichever
way one turns. Those anxious 10 be
right quiz the newspapers or write TO
friends or to Washington.
President Roosevelt, more than two
years ago, determined the correct pro-
uunciation of his name for the general
public, in an interview published in the
Chicago Tmes-IIerald. On June -,
1899, he was en- route 60 Las Vegas,
New Mexico, to attend reunion Of his
regiment of rough riders. Some ques-
ton came UP on his special train as 0
how his name should be pronounced,
if pronounced correctly. He settled
the dispute by saying;
pronounce ii as if it were spelt
RoS-y-velt. word of three syilabies.
That Is the only way to pronounce IT,"
lie prunounces the first syllable as
If it were spelt Rose" and having
that the rest Is very simple. This
ought TO settle ali questions about the
pronunciation and cure those who in
sist on saying "Roos-ee-velt.'

MILWAUKEE, INTRODUCTIONS.
\ short story on the Social Amcni-
ties of the city Made Famous by
Its beverage.

The teacher of an intermediate
grade in the Third Ward school
was showing Off" her pupils before a
number of visitors, says the Milwau-
kee Sentinel.
The spelling class was on the floor
and one small, red-headed boy was
given the word introduction"
He paused, twisted his lips. stared
and then in faIterins way spelled
it correctly, and seemed rather sur,
prised that he had done it.
DO you know what the word

Does your mother ever have callers?'
Yes M
We'll, now, suppose that two ladies
came TO call on your mother. Your

never seen the lady and doesn't even
know her name. Now, how would She
become acquainted with this lady and

MOON RECEDING FROM EARTH
scientists sny Ii IL slowly Increasing
Its Distance frGm This Ter
restriaI Planet

Scientists say that the moon is re-
ceding further and further from the
earth, and viii continue TO recede
for countless ages until the terres-
trial day is shorter than the luuur
month. Millions If years ago, when
the earth was molten mass, IL re-
yolved around It's axis once every Ave
or six hours, The moon then was a
part of the earth, but in time became
broken off and became its satellite.
rs the motion of the earth de-
creased and the day became longer
the distance Of the moon became
greater. Our day is now "a hours
long and the moon is 100000 miles
away. As the length of the ter.
restrial day increased so did the dis
lance of the moon. The two uuaufi-
ties are connected by memorable
equations. If one varies, 50 must the
other. Whenever the rotation time
Of planet is shorter than the period
Of revolution OF its satellite the effect
Of their mutual action Is to accelerate
the motion of the satellite and TO
force II TO move in a larger orbit-to
Increase its distance, therefore.

SOARING A DEBTOR.
Newark story of the Persuasive
Power w hirh Lay in "a Lawyers
business Gard.

A good story is told OF the way a
Newark lawyer was tricked by a clever
client the other day, relates the News
of that city. The barrister was sit
ting in his Office when Mrs, B., a
friend, entered, and proceeded TO tell
him of the difficulty Mr.. c. was in
through a loan he had made to Mr..
D.. Mr.. c. was in great need of the
money, but Mr.. D. refused to return
the sum, which was quite a large one.
Il think said Mrs. B. to the law
yer, that if you should take hold Of
the case YOU could collect the money"
"All right" said the barrister think
ing of the neat little fee that would
be his after he had succeeded in in
dueing Mr. D. 10 part with she sum
claimed by MIR. c. "I'll give you one
Of my cards to hand to Mr.. c.. If ht
will step in and see me I'll handle the
case for him"
Shortly afterward the lawyer left
the city for a few days outing in the
country. On his return he inquired Of
Mrs. b what had become of Mr.. c.
and his claim against Mr.. D.
"Oh, that's all settled" replied the
woman. Mr.. c. said he Just went to
Mr.. D., showed him your card and
said he had retained you in the case.
Mr.. D paid the money at once"
Now the lawyer is wondering where
his prospective fee is coming in. He
believes he has good case against
Mr.. c. for about ten per cent. of the
amount of Mr., C--'s loan, but has not
decided whether to press the case or
not.

A MODERN MIRACLE.
Reported to Have Been Recently Per-
formed by the Famous Father
John of Cronstudt

The Noyoe Nremya recently had the
following account of a miracle per-
formed by the famous Father John of
Cronstadt, says the London Pail Mall
Gazette. ION the 18th Father John ar
rived at the village of Sopino, CON
Quoted service, and spent the night
with Father Lvov. Next day he jour
neyed TO konchanskols, and conse-
Grated the new stone church there in
the presence of fully 10000 people.
After this service a breakfast was
given in the school and many
speeches were delivered.
In the midst of The breakfast two
men and two old women were seen
approaching the schoolhouse bearing
the seemingly lifeless body of
woman. For seven years this woman
had been paralytic, unable 10 move
arms or legs, or open her eyes-was
a living corpse. On their bringing
her to him, Father John arose, stood
before her, and, asking her name.
gazed fiXedly at her Then in loud
voice he babe her open her eyes.

in the face said Father John, and
cross yourself Slowly and with
great effort the woman succeeded in
making the sign of the cross. DO
it again. said Father John, and
again With eyer-increasng faith
the woman repeated the movement.
"'Stand up said Father John, and
the woman arose. Then he moved
from his place, bidding her follow.
Now, walk around me- said Father
John, and the lately seemingly dead
woman slowly approached and fell
on his shoulder. Go and pray said
he, blessing the woman. On this she
moved away without any help. All
this took place in the presence OF
thousands, who were unable to re
strain their tears"

1000 of the costly cigars shipped for
the use of the duke OF Cornwall and
his suite while in Canada have been
recovered from the hull Of the
wrecked liner Lustania. on the east
coast of Newfoundland. In all 10000
of the highest class cigars, intended
for royal use, were on the Lusitania,
packed in Theoretically sealed eases.
They were consigned to the citadel
at Quebec TO await the arrival of the
Ophir. Each cigar was valued at three
shillings.
So choice were the costly smokes"
that, in case the crew might break
open the cases, they were packed in
the extreme stern Of the ship aud
boltcd behind heavy plankiug. When
it became known to the islanders that
the dukes cigars were part of the
LnsitGnia's cargo, q patrol was estah-
lished to search for boxes on the

The GATEMAN.

At the railroad crossing the gateman
stands
Turning the crank In his faithful hands.
Bent and wrinkled. yet strong and true
To the daily duty tbs his to do.
The sun may shine, or the clouds may
frown,
July be torrid, December cold.
Yes there, in his suit of weIlworn brown,
He guards the way for the young and old.
Keeping with steady, tireless brain
A watch for the inbound outbound train,
lie signals the passage of each through
the town,
As with Thinker and "Tinklep the gates
go down.
How the waiting children caper and dance,
And the restless horses curvet and prance!
How the servant-maids, upon errands bent,
View the intruders with discomfort
While heavy car and elegant coach
Rumble along on the shiny rails.
And on the busy ones time encroach
With the vexing burden delay entails
AS, mindful of duty's stern command,
In spite of impotence, OF fret of frown,
The gateman puts 60 the cSank his hand,
And steadily turning, the gates go down.
oh! / would that on every road to-day,
Where sin and its train hold right OF way,
Some gateman as ready as this might stand,
Turning the crank in his faithful hand
That ever when danger should threaten
those
Whose path must cross the enticers
track,
Some gate a-tinkle might interpose.
And hold from disgrace the weak ones
back
Some safeguard be built for unwary feet
To halt them midway in the perilous street
And to signal to each, spite of fret or
frown
stand back for your life, while the gates
are downl"

GARDENING ON THE YUKON.
Report by Prof. Georgeaou to the
iaricuIturuI Department lis De-
eidcdIy Emcouragiug

\ report has been received at the
department of agriculture from Prof.
c. c. Georgeson, officer in charge Of
the Alaska experimenting stations,
on the outlook for gardening and
agriculture in the cold interior re-
gion of Alaska along the Yukon. It's
general tone is decidedly encourage
ing. Prof. Georgeson spent the sum
mer in the interior and visited the
experiment station established a wear
ago at Rampant, which is just out
side the arctic circle, and such other
places as were selected for depart
ment experiments In spite of an
unusually late season there were
ready by the middle of August new
potatoes, cabbage, caulifiower, beets
and other vegetables, while lettuce,
radishes and turnips, grown in the
optn air, had been in use some
weeks. Flower seed furnished last
year had bloomed in a large variety
of ANIMALS. Rye. seeded the previous
fall at Rampant, had wintered per-
fectly and was fully ripe in July
Spring-seeded barley had ripened
about the middle of August. The
prospect for oats and wheat to ma
ture was most favorable. On the
lower Yukon extensive areas of eX-
cellent land were found, where there
was an abundant and oftenluXuriant
growth of grasses over six feet in
height. Abundant moisture and long
summer days account for the sur
prising vegetable growth in that sec
tinn of the far north
