Let no man listening to the pessimfsts
imagine that Theodore Roosevelt will
not prove equal to every responsibility
which, through Il great national calam-
ity. now rests upon him. Like President
Arthur, who was called through a SINH
lar crime to the same high Office, he will
discharge every public function with a
courage and conservatism born of a
lofty sense of patriotism and noble
ambition to deserve we'll of his country>
men. When Arthur became president
there were men who expressed appre-
hension lest he should prove unequal
to the work OF administering the gov
eminent; yet this country never had a
wiser. broader safer statesman in
the presidential chair. Whatever doubts
might have existed on Saturday in the
minds Of the most timid We're dispel!ed
when, in the presence of DEATH with the
last words Of his beloved chief and the
beautiful lesson they taught still upon
his mind, Theodore Roosevelt solemnly
pledged himself to carry out the policy
to which the dead president had con-
secrated his life. That is the policy
the American people Endorsed in the
last general election; that is the policy
which for four years they desired should
be carried out by the man they had re.
elected to the presidency. Obviously,
therefore, that policy viii be con-
scientiously adhered to. 1t is the policy
Of conservatism and Of humanity. It
contemplates nothing but the peace and
prosperity and progress Of the people.
In the veins of Theodore Roosevelt
flows the blood of patriots. His active
life has been largely devoted to the
work Of political reform, and to the
applica ton of the principles Of good
government in the interest OF all the
people. The words the vice president
uttered in the presence of the cabinet
ministers were these:
In this hour Of deep and terrible ma
tional bereavement, I wish to state that
it shall be my aim to continue absolutely
without variance the policy Of President
Mckinley for the peace and prosperity
and honor Of our beloved country.
AS initial proof OF the good faith with
which he made that voluntary promise
the new chief magistrate at a later hour
asked the members Of McKinley's cabi-
net to serve in their departments as
usual. There viii be no change in the
policy Of the administration.

thoughtlessly read aloud from a newspa-

who shot Mckinley.

him and threatened his life. The whip

tween San Francisco and Chicago have
been set to work for the purpose of ar
ranging a go between Gardner and Jack
Root. and the latter has intimated the
terms on which he will sign articles.
Root names 1865 pounds as the battling
weight and insists on a clean break
clause. As Gardeners forte Is out fighting
he will in all likelihood be content to box
along the gentlemanly lines imposed by
"clean break" condition, and it Is fur
Their understood that he will agree to
the weight terms.
Incidentally it would be silly to class
the affair as a middle weight function
when such weights prevail. If the men
meet at the notch named It will be a
heavyweight engagement. For that mat
ter, with the numbering fighters such as
Jeffries, Rubin and Sharkey beginning

BEE AND HIVE.

II the hive rests on the ground, 1t
will be too damp.
1t will pay to use foundations by fll-
ing all frames full.
Set the hive little above the ground
to admit Of circulation Of air.
From 8 o'clock a. m. to 8 o'clock p. m.
includes the hours of successful operat-
ing with bees.
Procure new blood In the apiary. In
breeding Is as Objectionable with bees
as with live stock.
1t is necessary to unite all weak col
onies that will be unable to build up
into strong stocks.
Care should be taken to save oil
young brood and the brood combs Of
those containing brood.
On account of 1t being the only ma.
terial that can be depended upon to
stay pine is the best material for hives.
Combs should not be left in empty
hives about the apiary. That Is the
worst place they can be left, as moths
are always to be found near the bees
and are sure to infest the combs.
One advantage in closed end frames
Is that a hive full Of combs may be
handled as though 1t were a single
piece instead Of a collection Of loose
pieces, thus saving work, worry and
time.
II the bees cannot conveniently enter
the hives during the sudden changes OF
cool weather, quite a number will be
lost; hence care should be taken to
have the entrances arranged 80 that the
bees can enter readily.

Swim ming.

"No man can ever hope to be strong
swimmer unless he cultivates the pow
er of endurance in the water" says q
professional. 1T costs me no more
exertion to swim for an hour than 1t
does to walk for the same period OF

"In swimming man should time his
stroke with his breathing. He should
take but one stroke to each breath. In
this way the muscles of the body work
In conjunction with the lungs, and no
energy is wasted. In salt water. which,
of course, Is more buoyant than fresh

The ProOfreader.

An anonymous writer In the Ameri-
can Printer Of New York says:
1.-THE ideal proofreader for a small
printshop ought to be an accomplished
printer, a sensible person, person un-
derstanding the scope and limitations
Of the English language, one compre-
hending the true offices of punctuation,
one with a keen and true appreciation
of literature, storehouse Of exact
knowledge, n perfect grammarian,
perfect speller and with fund Of hu-
NOR sufficient to enable him to do his
whole duty along these various lines
without making for an early grave. II
he does not really know everything, he
ought assuredly to be able to scent out
an error and to know how to get at the
truth. II he reads the proofs for
weekly newspaper also, he ought to
know all about local affairs and all
about the town or city In order to pre-
vent the reported marriage Of the girl
who merely acted as bridesmaid and
untangle the mixed topography OF the

Knots ON Trees.

In the barks Of our forest trees are
contained a multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some
trees possess this property in a remark
able degree, and often, when the other
parts are killed down by frost, the
property of pushing out these latent
buds into growth preserves the life OF
the plant. These buds, having once
begun to grow, adhere to the woody
layer at their base and push out their
points through the back toward the
light.
The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot. Once elaborated 1t
descends by the bark, when 1t reaches
the base or inner bark. Here 1t Is ar
rested, SO to speak, and deposited be-
tween the outside and inner layer OF
bark, as can be learned on examining
specimens on the trees In the woods
almost anywhere.

THE WIDOW TAX.
In Mindanao . wife's Death Costs
the Widower One Hundred Plates.

In Mindanao . wife's Death Costs
the Widowef One Hundred Plates.
Becoming a widow or a widower 10 q
much more serious business than get
ting married among some Of the tribes
in the Philippines. In Mindanao "mar-
rying in haste" often leads to pro-
longed "repenting at leisure" for they
have an institution there known as the
widow tax"-"chabaloan" the natives
call 1t. Upon the death Of the wife the
widower must pay a certain sum OF
money or its equivalent in goods to bis
father-in-law before he can go a-court-
ing again. As money Is a scarce article
among these natives, the tax generally
is paid In plates of common "stone CHI
na," which are much used by the ma
tives as a medium of exchange. 1t Is
considered the proper thing for the be-
reaved one to pay 100 Of these plates to
his father-in-law for permission to look
about him for successor to the de-
ceased helpmate.
II the husband dies, the widow at
once becomes the property OF her par
ents-in-law and SO remains for life un-
less some relative comes forward and
produces the necessary number Of din
ner plates. The natural result OF this
is that married people are all extreme
" solicitous for the health of each 9TH
er. In sickness the invalid Is sedulous-
ly attended by the partner of his or
her Joys and sorrows, the well person
perhaps being moved more by the
thought of those hundred plates than
by real affection.
Divorce Is unknown among these peo-
pie, but a man may have as many
wives as he pleases. 1t will be seen
that in case Of an epidemic which
would sweep away his wives married
man would be in dire extremity. In
the case of a death Of a much married
man his parents come into small for
tune, for they either have enough
slaves to render future work on their
part unnecessary or they receive enough
plates from the families Of the widows
to set up crockery store.
