A Womsn's Tribute to Theodore
Roosevelt.

Fearless, with eye OF scorn
For any man coward born,
Our Nations President!
Wears he the laurel well,
History's pages tell
We do not boast!
Leonidas and Roland meet
Blending to a man complete
With wisdom thrown in!
When he thinks he's right
He strives with all his might,
In scorn Of consequence!
He dares to have his way,
Gives to his heart full sway
In spite ot peiisicsl
No wire-puller here
Finds aid in dealings queer,
"Teddy" can't be blinded!
With look Of condemnation
He looks on crooked machination
With justice he'll rule his nation
never fear!
Then let the welkin ring!
President, but fit for King,
Wise, good and great!

VICTORY
In Courts For the lnde.
pendent Telephone.
FEDERAL PEOPLE STATE
That a Massachusetts Decision
Settles a Controversy and
Downs the Bell Mo-
nopoly.

Cleveland, Feb. 27.-The Bell tele-
phone monopoly has been defeated. The
Berliner patent is hell invalid. This
removes all questions of the right of
Independent Telephone companies to
make and use the best and most. ap-
proved apparatus known. Mr.. H. d.
Critchfield, counsel for the Federal
Telephone company, of Cleveland, said
today:
"In the United States court for the
northern district of Massachusetts,
Judge Brown on Wednesday handed
down a decision in the case of the
American Bell Telephone company
against the National Telephone COM
pany, a manufacturing concern of Bos-
ton.
by this suit 1t was sought to pro-
long the life of the patents of telephone
transmitters until 1908. This, how.
ever, disposes of the matter and the
court held that the use of the micro.
phone is open to any one in this coun.
try. The American Bell Telephone
company and its licensees have endeav.
ored to make great capital out of this
litigation. The suit was instituted in
July, 1896, and has just now reached
its first decision. This decision is not
material as the Bell people had prac.
tically ceased to urge their claims for
patents to the public and the question
has been one of merit for the last two
years. However. 1t is a relief to the
Independent people to have decision
of this case favorable to their inter.
ests. and annulling the Bell patents
which is the effect of the decision rem.
dered by Judge Brown. II clears the
atmosphere and every one knows just
where he Is at"

MassillonCharacterHaS
Fortune In Sight.
lit CONSISTS OF $500
Has Great Plans For Future--
Mill Men Had Just Raised
a Purse For
Him.

"Dutch John" is in high feather
Word has come from Germony that an
uncle, recently dying, left an estate to
sbe divided among his living relatives,
and that all that is necessary for him to
do to secure $500 in money and share
of the other property is to prove that he
is John LutZ. This, Dutch John" says
he has already done Relatives in Ca
nal Dover, also heirs, helped him.
|, "Dutch John" has just returned from
Canal Dover and he states that there is
no doubt about the money. The ad-
ministrators of the estate of the deceas-
ed uncle, 1t seems, communicated with
the Canal Dover relatives first, and ask
ed their assistance in locating the
others, says the Massillon Independent
Dutch John" is not now so reticent
about his name and general history
He says he always knew he had an
uncle In Germany, but never expected
be remembered by him. The reason he
never told his real name, he says, was
because he thought Dutch John" was
good enough. Dutch John" is called
the Mascot of the Mill" by the employ
es of the Republic Iron and Steel COM
pany Like the lilies of the field he
tolls not and neither does he spin, but
his language is not that of the flowers
and his general appearance is not sug-
gestive Of the spotless. Yet recently
he has taken on airs. Yesterday he
was caught washing his hands.
& On the day that the news of mascots
good fortune was received, the employees
of the mill, plying the wretched figure
in the thin and ragged garments, raised
IS and bought him some clothing. They
like old John at the mill. 1t has been
his abiding place every winter as long
as any can remember, and all seem to
believe that he has always been an old
man. And he will do anything for any
body but take steady job. The plans
of Dutch John" for spending his for
tune have already been formed The
warmer weather will see him on the
road, tramping or riding freight cars
from town to town, and in the winter
he will divide his time between Massil-
I Ion and Dover mills. The $500 is to be
placed in bank, and not touched ex-
cept for clothes or in case of an emer-
gency.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Frank Van
derlip, assistant to Secretary Gage,
who has resigned from government
employ, will have fat place in New
York National City bank, known as the
Standard Oil bank. While the place
is a good one and lucrative. the real
reason for his getting out is said to be
that he had received letters to the
effect that he would meet the same
fate as Frank Morris, who was MUIR
dered by an ex-employe. Vanderlip's
friends treat his story with scorn and
say that he took the New York place
because it paid better.

that he had as taxpayer, II not as q

When I was picked Up I was lying
over the body of a gigantic blacksnake
twelve feet in length and twice as
thick as the strongest mans arm. 1
had killed il accidentally by hurting
myself at full length on the very sharp
iron fender. This creature. as / rea-
soued IL out afterward. was the ghost
that had haunted the old house for
hundred years Snakes like ether ami
mails, as naturaEsts have observed. are
liable to acquire individual habits
not common to the species. and this
one had acquired the hideous habit of
approaching a person in bed. inserting
his head in the space between the
sleeper's neck. the pillow and the bed.
and then strangling him or her to
death Women and children proved
easier victims. The reptile lived in
some adjacent rocks. climbed up into
the house by the interior of the CHM
ney and entered the bed room from the
fireplace Blacksnakes. like many
other reptiles. are capable of living to
an indefinite age. and grow to enor-
nous size if they obtain abundant
nourishment. They are powerful con-
StrictCrs. though not ordinarily dan
gerOus to man. Thus everything was
accounted for.

strength after the ordeal of laying that
