It's a truth as old as the soul Of things

IT'S the cosmic law that forever springs
From the unimagined deep,
It's shown In the manifold Borrowings
OF the race; In remorse with its secret stings
That he who grief 10 his brother brings
In his turn some day shall weep.
To the man who hears his victims cries
And hardens his heart at the sound.
At last n Neriesis dread shall rise
From out Of the void profound.
Who sows In selfshness. greed and hate
Shall gain his deserts In the years that wait.
For the slow and remorseless wheel OF Fats
Forever turns round and round
II ye give out Of mercy and love and light
The same shall return to you-
For the standards OF right are infinite
And the scales of the gods are true.

In motives and deeds its record made:

GOES TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND
AT ONCE SETS HIMSELF TO
WORK.
HOLDS SHORT CABINET MEETING
INFORMED AS TO THE BUSINESS OF
THE VARIOUS DEPART
MENTS.

Washington, Sept. %. Theodore
Roosevelt has been president of tue
United States week nearly, but he
began his administration of the affairs
Of the nation yesterday morning In a
thorough businesslike and purely DEM
ocratic way.
The president returned from Canton
about $3.50 o'clock and drove directly to
the White House. where, without for
mality of any kind lie entered his Of
flee and settled himself to work. Sec
rotary Long came in almost immedi-
ately and went over some details Of
his department with the president,
Senators Proctor and Cullom called,
and the president announced to the
former that he intended to appoint
William Barrett Ridgely Of Chicago
as controller of the currency to succeed
Charles A. Dawes. 1t had been known
for several days that President Roose-
welt would
Make This Appointments
because Secretary Gage told him that
President Mckinley had decided upon
the appointment President Roosevelt
made no further inquiry as to the quail
ifications of Mr. Rid2ely. He consid-
cred it the appointment of President
Mckinley, though signed by himself
The appointment of DR.. Rixey as sur
geon general of the navy will be made
in the same way. There is one other
such appointment in New York which
the president will make in the same
way.
The other members of the cabinet ar
rived at the White House a few min
utes after the president entered his Of
flee, and the cabinet meeting began.
President Roosevelt took his place at
the head of the table and proceeded to
business. He told the members that
he desired to understand exactly the
situation as to what business had been
closed up and what
Was Still Pending.
The meeting was devoted to reports by
ton in the various departments under
their control. When these reports had
been made the cobinet departed with
the exception of Secretary Root, who
was Joined by Gov. Gen. Wood, and
they went over the Cuban question at
some length. There was no hating or
hesitation on the part OF the new pres
ident anywhere. He took hold of the
work like an experienced hand and
first gathered up the threads OF bust
ness already completed. The members
of the cabinet were surprised at the
presidents familiarity with questions
which they have been considering and
discussing for months.

wreckase of the Hudson.

Calumet, Mich, Sept. %. - Advices
received yesterday noon from Eagle
River state that persons patrolling the
lake shore in the vicinity have found
wreckage, presumably from the West
ern Transit line steamer Hudson. This
wreckage consists Of couple of spars,
hatch covers and a quantity of flour.
The cargo Of the Hudson consisted
largely OF the latter. No bodies have
yet been found. Some Of those who
saw the boat go down Monday morning
say that small boat put off shortly
before she sank, but as no such boat
has been found along the beach the
story is not credited. and 1t is thought
that the crew Of twenty-five men went
down.

The money value Of title in other
than matrimonial market is illustrat-
ed by the policy of an old established
manufacturing business in New York
city which sells its products all over
Europe. The present manager, like his
father, Is very democratic, but for
business reasons he continues the pol
icy established by his father. No
agents are employed abroad except
men with titles. This is easily ar
ranged in Germany and France and
Russia, but 1t sometimes causes in
convenience in England. A titled
agent on the continent, no matter how
poor he may be, can usually get a
hearing in a business house easier
than man without title No bogus
titles are allowed, and the company's
list of foreign agents reads like a
court circular.

Probably the most elaborate meer-
schaum pipe in this country is now In
process of coloring by a New York
merchant, who bought 1t from a local
manufacturer recently for $1,000. The
pipe is known as character" pipe
to the trade, and is a wonderfully
carved reproduction Of the painting

six maidens grouped around fountain
and either st. John is concealed be-
hind the fountain or in it: he is not
in sight, at any rate. The figures are
chiseled from a solid piece of meer-
schaum, which was imported from
Turkey. The labor expended upon ii
extended over a period of two years
and the amber mouthpiece alone cost
$500.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. o. - The Duke
and Duchess of Cornwall and York
reached the Canadian capital yester-
day. and there was another great OUT
pouring of people to give them

uniform Of admiral Of the British navy,
alighted at once. accompanied by the
duchess and the members of his staff.
They were formally received by Lord
Mimic, governor general, and escorted
to state barouche. 1t was In parlia-
ment hall, surrounded by the hand

was gathered the largest crowd of all.
The duke was attended sby Viscount
Chreiton, Lord Burton and Lord Wen
lock. Prince Alexander of Teck and his
military and naval aides in brilliant
uniforms, and the scene was most pic
turesque. The several addresses were
presented and the duke made an ex-
tended reply. expressing his apprecia-
ton OF the honor shown.

War ONCE Deeply Chagrined Over
BOtha's Successes.
London. Sept. 22 - Scare headlines
concerning the Boer war embellish the
newspapers, and some of them predict
fresh invasion of Natal. They be-
seech the government to make extra
ordinary efforts to reverse the current
Of military affairs in South Africa.
The utter breakdown of the policy or
threats is generally acknowledged.
The most faithful supporters of the
ministry are beginning to grumble
about the Substitution of paper wads
for powder and shot in dealing with a
resourceful and implacable enemy"
The officials of the war office aresdeep-
ly chagrined by the successes OF Gen.
Botha in the South, but claim ACCIDENTS
involving nothing serious From the
point of view of the British anti-war
party these latest disasters have bad
moral effect and are likely to prove ex-
tremely grave, since they may encour-
age an army Of Cape Dutchmen, who
have long wavered on the verge of re-
bellion, TO cast off all pretence of loyal
ty and join the burgher forces.

Books that sell by the hundred thou

some instances that are not modern
1t is now just about two hundred and
forty years since one John Bunyan
was shut up in Bedford Jail. He stayed
there twelve years; but a book OF
his went free. and no man since that
day could have suppressed or impris-
oned 1t, even had he wished. Millions
of copies of 1t have been printed. Prob
ably more copies are sold in any one

Norfolk, Va. Sept. 22.-The captain
of small oyster sloop which arrived
here yesterday informed the Associated
Press correspondent that shortly after
President Mckinley was shot. Pole
appeared at Bivalve, Md, and secured
a place as hand on a sloop. The Pole
was fairly we'll dressed and educated.
He told the oyster mer that he came
from good family but was cut off
from them with small allowance. The
day after the president died passen-
ger on a passing steamer threw
newspaper aboard the sloop containing
an account of the death. The Pole Sc
cured 1t, and while the GREW were
waiting for him to read them the story
he exclaimed: Good. and Teddy will

Mesaba Range division. A few weeks

and the damage of much property.
Now another has developed about nj
teen miles above the first. A few days

about a block suddenly disappeared.
Quick work resulted in the recovery OF
the train. The ore shipments OF the
