why He Got Well,

The Man with a Clear Conscience
bought pair of tan shoes with the ad-
vent of spring, and. while going home in
the street car, conjured up a mental pho
tograph of himself strolling along the
sandy beach of a summer resort with his
pedal extremities encased in his new pur-
chase, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press. That night he was taken ill. For
four days he contemplated his new shoes
with his head on a downy pillow. When
he recovered the Man said:
There was only one thing that morried
me while L was sick. I couldn't get those
tan shoes out of my head. What if l
should die without having had a chance
to wear EN-! Such contingency seemed
to furnish and additional and potent rea-
son why 1 should get well. I just made
up my mind I was going to live long
enough to get my feet into those shoes
and-well did"

AID FOR JACKS oNvIIa,E.

There are thousands of homeless people
in Jacksonville. No doubt hundreds of
them are without money with which to
buy food. Help will have to be extended
to the stricken city. The well-to-do peo-
pie there and those who escaped loss
from the flames cannot be expected to
shoulder the whole burden.
Already steps have been taken in many
cities to collect money for the needy. In
some cities a very considerable amount
has been raised already.
OF course Florida will not permit
any suffering. She will take care of her
needy people until they can receive help
from outside sources. That this help
will be ample there is no doubt The
to respond promptly and literally to any
call for assistance in times of distress.
There win be a meeting here in Savan-
nah tomorrow of citizens 1t has been
called by the Mayor In response to the
urgent need of Jacksonville for
help. The action that will be taken will
result in substantial aid to our sister city.
There is one feature OF the situation
that is encouraging. There will be plenty
Of work to do in the very near future
for those who depend for their income
upon their daily labor. Jacksonville will
be rebuilt And the work of rebuilding
will be begun at once. 1t will therefore
be a busy summer in that city. But just
now there are thousands without homes
and unless aided for while most of them
will be without bread. They will be
helped, however, and that, too, promptly

Anxious to Know,

"As I was telling my friend the doctor -
said the young man. according to the Chi
cago Record Herald, I'VE must always re-
member in discussing these theories OF
life after death that our world is but a
small speck in the universe. What right
have we to suppose that God-if there is
a God-his picked this insignificant little
planet out of the many millions of them
that are rolling through space and peo-
pied it with immortal beings? If we could
know positively that no other planet was
inhabited then we might indeed"
Excuse me-" interrupted the young
lady's grandmother, who is rather hard
of hearing, did you say there was a wo-
man in the case?"

THE PRESIDENTS AMBITION.

There is a great deal OF speculation as
to the Presidents purpose in making a
spectacular journey 10 the Pacific coast.
The ostensible purpose is, of course, 70
! be present q { the launching of the battle
ship Ohio. at San Francisco, but there are
/ very few who believe he would take so
/ long a journey to he present at that cere-
mony unless he had, in connection with
1t, some other object in view, even though
the name of the battleship is that of his
own state.
It has been suggested that he wants to
be nominated for a third term, and that
he is planning to that end. Others think
he wants to accomplish two things dur
ing his present term of offce-one being
to fix the Philippines as a permanent pos
session of the country and the other to
subsidize steamship lines engaged in car
rying American products to foreign ports,
with the view, ultimately, of bringing the
whole American carrying trade under the
American flag. That ne wants to accom-
plish these things would seem to be evil
dent from what he has said in speeches
he has delivered since his Western trip
began.
But there are reasons for thinking that
no one of these things is the real purpose
of his journey, though he may utilize the
opportunities which the journey presents
for promoting the ship subsidy scheme
and popularizing the acquisition of the
Philippines.
The one great ambition of the Presi-
dents life, now that he has had every
political honor that he is likely TO get, is
to have the credit of removing the last
lingering bit of sectional feeling between
the North and the South. To those with
whom he is accustomed to speak frankly
he has more than once given expression
to this ambition. Doubtless he believes
that if it were to be gratifed his MEM
ory would live longer than if his fame
rested wholly upon the fact that he was
twice elected President.
And it must be admitted that he DOS
sesses admirable qualities for the role of
a pacificator He is naturally of an ami
able disposition. He makes no enemies.
and his popularity has grown steadily
even since he has been the nations chief
executive. Public men of all political
parties are received so kindly at the
White House that there is never any hesi-
tation to go there for political favors or
TO discuss public measures.
On the present journey the President
has been received with the greatest kind
ness all through the South, and his recep-
ton has been of a character to make him
feel that there is kindly feeling for him
as well as respect for the great office he
holds. Therefore, if it is a fact that it
is his great ambition to figure in history
as the President that removed the last
vestige of the Civil War bitterness, there
is probability that it will be realized,
though it must be admitted that there is
so little sectional bitterness now that it
is scarcely perceptibe
The generation that is taking charge Of
the affairs of the country now is more
concerned about developing its resources
and promoting its prosperity than in keep
ing at the front matters of sentiment
which can be productive of no good re-
suit.

few months before the death of Father
Boyle of Washington he built a mission
airy chapel down by the navy yard, and
bought at junkshop an old bell which
had been discarded by one of the Pres
byterian churches, says the New York
Tribune. He sent the bell to a foundry
in Georgetown and had several inches of
metal pared off the rim to get rid of a
crack, and the harsh and discordant tones
of the bell became short and sweet.
Meeting Presbyterian parson not long
after, Father Boyle called his attention
to the change, and the latter could scarce
ly believe it was the same bell. what
in the world did you do with that bell
inquired the Presbyterian pastor, to
cause such a change in the toner I'VE
blessed it and blessed it and blessed it
until we got the Presbyterian devil out
of it," retorted Father Boyle, land then
1t sounded all right"
