Mr.. Roosevelt has been known to the
public principally as writer and u
rough rider. 1t was therefore singu-
larly appropriate in at least one re-
spect that it was in the musty atmos-
phere of old books that he took the
oath to faithfully execute the office
of president of the United States" and
to the best of his ability to preserve,
protect and defend the constitution of
the United States" On Saturday aft
ernoon, September II, 1901, in the
library of the home of his friend, Ans
ley Wilcox, and in the city of Buffalo,
N. Y, the simple ceremony was per-
formed. The president is dead: the
president lives; long live our presi-
dent
Theodore Roosevelt is the twenty
sixth president, of the United States,
and the fifth vice president to succeed
to the executive chair. John Tyler was
the first, succeeding William Henry
Harrison. Willard Fillmore was the
second; he succeeded Zachary Taylor.
The assassination of Abraham Lincoln
brought Andrew johnson into the
white house. James A. Garfield was
succeeded by his vice president, Ches-
ter 4. Arthur. Roosevelt has one adj
vantage over all these four men in
that he comes into his great office bet
ter known to the public than any OF
them. Almost from boyhood he has
been more or less in the eyes of the
public.

WICHITA MEN IN It
Broom Corn Factory to be Is
tablished in This City.
LABOR SAVING MACHINE
Viii Do the Work of Twenty
Five Good Men.

Among the many big enterprises that
have been added to the list OF Wichita 5
progressive movements is the organiza-
ton now being perfected. which has for
its object the manufacture Of broom corn
harvesters. The company is composed of
Wichita men and men who have the con-
fdence of the public in all they under
take.
The industry is not in its experimental
stage. the company being the owners Of
the patent, which revolutionizes the pres
ent method CT taking care OF the broom
corn crop of the country.
That the machine which is to be built
/ in Wichita is not an experiment, is
proven by the fact that it has not only
| been successfully operated. but that it has
the unqualified endorsement Of such men
as S. D. Porter. formerly manager of the
Mccormick company, of this city, and
now with the same company in Chicago;
Chas. G. Cohn, president of the CONNER
cial Club; L. r. Powell. Ralph Stevens,
a prominent broom corn raiser and many
other representative business men
It is perhaps better known among the
readers of the Eagle that the present
laborious method Of harvesting and seed
ing broom corn crop requires thirty ex-
pert hands and they are only able to cut
and seed ten acres in a day, while the
machine, which this company builds. cas-
ily cuts and seeds the same amount in
one day, requiring only five laborers. OF
the cheapest class.
It IS plainly evident from this fact
alone, that the new venture means much
to Wichita. 1t means the employment
of hundreds of men IN the manufacture
of these machines and # also means that
at an early date Wichita will be recog-
nized as a center for the broom corn in
dustry.
The introduction of this machine viii
make a large acreage Of broom corn pos
sible. There are at present one or two
small factories in this city. Neither Of
these can obtain enough corn to run
them to their full capacity It is a very
hard job to raise broom corn. the hard
est part being in the harvesting and n
great many farmers have hesitated about
raising it. but the Introduction Of the
new machine. while very valuable. will
not cost much, viii cause a considerably
larger acreage OF broom corn to be
planted.

signed TO a room with a little blind boy
who was a Catholic. Dan found the little
fellow bearing his blindness with such a
Cody spirit and having such an angelic
disposition that he felt that his religion
must be right and he became converted
to the religion of Pope Leo. He read the
religious books prepared by the Catholic
church for the blind ard found great
comfort in his new religion.
Nhen he returned home from the asy-
lum he took his books with him. His
parents, wIo were Menonites, burned
them. They wanted him to renounce
Catholicism and return 10 his own re-
ligion.
He refused, and was driven away from
home. He CROPPED Lis way to Wichita and
for three days after arriving here wan
dered through darkness and the streets.
Mrs. Gineland was at her piano one
morning, when someone came cropping
and stumbling to the door and knocked.
Madame" said the blind boy, II
came to ask a favor of you"
i have no food cooked now" she said.
But If you VIII wait little while III
get you some"
Madame" said Dan, THAT Is not it.
The favor 1 would ask is permission to
play on your piano"
THAT boy" said Mrs. Gilleland, Sat
down to the piano and never heard such
heavenly music. It was OF his own COM
position. For hours he remained at the
piano. pouring forth the music of his in
spired soul.
And such beautiful poetry" continued
Mrs. Gineland, AS -ie writes every day!
At night the poor fellow hears music in
his dreams and gets up and plays it.
And ne has such a forgiving spirit"
said Rosa Anna, she who danced and
sang in Chinese character. 4 asked him
one day if he becamerich and his father
was in poverty how he would treat him.
I bear no i'll viii against my father
said Dan. I am a Christian
Mrs. GnIeiand says that she is going to
send some of Dams divine poetry to
Harpers j.. eekly and she is quite sure
they viii publish it. She says she is
also going to send to Philadelphia, when
ever she can get the money, for paper
that the blind can write music on"
There is necessity for wealth in that
house, and if Harry Widdoes finds hidden
treasure on the west bank Of the river
where his men are digging, it IS to be
hoped that he will think of his neighbors
who have lots Of genius.
And to return to the enterprise of Mr.
Widdoes Nobody seems to know exactly
what he is digging for in the sand, but it
is limited that he had a revelation OF
some kind that a whole lot Of money was
buried near the roots Of a tree by some
robber who either died or had to get
away in a hurry from the law. His
work may be based on something more
substantial than a revelation. lie prom

HOLDING HE SACK
Several Wichita Dealers Are Losers

on an lnstalIment Plan.
Several Wichita firms are just finding
out that they have been TIE victims of
a very smooth couple. If all accounts that
are out are true. Several months ago a
middle-aged couple. White, by name,
came TO this city (ostensibIy from Hutch
inson) and rented a house at 142 Indiana
avenue. They had, when they came here.
50 il is alleged by the neighbors. only a
few goods. However, they purchased a
great many new things and Rved in the
very best of style, and in fact, much
above the station which they were sup
posed to occupy. One day they made up
their minds TO go TO Alva, O. T., and
accordingly they locked up The house
and nailed it partly and left everything
just as it stood They gave out the i'm
preston that they would be gone only a
few days. That was three months ago
and no trace of them has been found
since. The officers in Alva have not been
able to locate the couple, and II they
were ever there il was for a very short
time The parties OF whom they had
bought different things are becoming
very impatient. and yesterday they took
action TO have the goods sold to meet
the bills against them. as far as possible.
The goods viii probably be sold at auc-
ton in a very short time. at least that is
what is desired by those who have money
in them. There are several mortgag
on the stuff. so it is alleged. and no one
seems to know just who has the prior
claim. nor IS it at all certain that all Of
the claims have been filed yet.

claims that are at present known to BE-
against the property last evening. It is

Educated Farmers.

Mr. JNO R. MATHIS, EDITOR TIMES:
After reading The TIMES OF August
30.h WAS very much struck with your
editorial regarding s.nators and farmers,
as without doubt the farmer is and must
he the best equipped man in regard to
good hard common senee than any and
all others, and as have said from time
to time, "the man who has not sense
enough to make farmer had better d.
az have done, quit trying or rather
quit before trying"
Such folks can, and will nodonbt,
make good senators, lawyers, school
teachers, etc.
The successful farmer in twenty years
from now will he the very BEST educated
men Of the country.
