President RoeSeVst'S Way .
Doing RuSinGlS.

President Roosevelps way of doing bust
ness is very different from that of any of his
predecessors. Considerable formality always
attended White House conferences in the
p st. President Mckinley sat at his desk
IN his Executive Office, and visitors were
shown into the ante room, where they wait
ed until their turn came for an interview
Then they went before the President and
setforth their business. He would listen,
occasionally asking a question to bring ou!
some new aspect, and, when the visitor had
completed his story, Mr.. Mckinley would
announce that he would take the matter
under consideration. He seldom promised
definite results or said what he would be
likely to do. Later, the calet would learn,
by mail or otherwise, that the President
had or had not done what was asked.
President Roosevelts way is more direct
He has almost abandoned the inner room
except for Cabinet meetings. and most Of
the interviews are now he'd in the large
room adjoining. During receiving hours
this fills up until there may be forty or fly
persons in waiting. Mr.. Roosevelt goes at
his task with vigOr. He will seize caller
BY the hand, almost wiring it off, and fire.
quently begin talking before the other has
had time to state the occasion for his pre-
sence. ''Glad to see you Cad to see you!'
he will exclaim. Possibly it will be an Old
acquaintance, and Roosevelt will direct a
few lightning questions at him. "What
regiment? Oh, yes. Knew your brother.
How's Sam? When did you get back ?'
1t may chance to be a Congressman in
search of an appointment for constituent
"Oan't do it Can't do it! All full
Mighty sorry! Come again Good bye! "
and the hopes of the Congressman and con.
stituent are blasted in twinkling. With
others he soill argue more at length, but
just as vigorously. The visitor will be max
ing a nice little prepared speech, when
Roosevelt will cut in: &C Now, right there.
That's where you are ell aorong. It's like
this."-And in a moment lie is pounding
one fist into the other palm and sweeping
the air like walking.beam on the double
quick.
His method of terminating an interview
is effective. Out goes his hand. 1t grasps
that Of the visitor in an eager farewell which
almost takes him off his feet. ssGood byep'

Photographing jewelry as a means
of its protection is likely to become
popular now that the picture of a yaIu-
able diamond brooch led to its recog-
milton and recovery. But it is doubt
full if there is one woman among ten
who owns costly Jewelry that ever
thought of taking this precaution. One
photographer who takes many pic
lures of women of wealth in New York
said the other day that few of them ever
had themselves photographed wearing
their jewelry, since it had become the
style to wear less jewelry than form
er1y- He looked at random over half
a dozen portraits made recently, and
there scarcely on any of their
originals jewelry that amounted to
more than few hundred dollars in
value. Yet the majority of these
men own jewels worth thousands OF
dollars. In England the custom OF
wearing jewelry in photographs is
much more prevalent than it is in New
York Pictures of English women of
wealth and position usually display.

boxes, and their tiaras stomachers
and necklaces are frequently conspicu-
GUS enough to be serviceabIe as a
means of identification were they
stolen, although thieves rarely dare
to keep such things intact for even
the briefeSt time American women
owning valuable jewelry are not likely
to possess any photographs of it, unless
they We're especially taken. And that
precaution has 50 far been observed
in few cases.-New York Sun.

to take possession of the property

Loomis is that it did not take sides

the clock face that all humanity has
been consulting for centuries changed

that some of these figures are right

AND NOW THE FRISCO
A Rumor That May Mean Mighty In
teresting Railroad Situation
for lola.

The REGISTER learns on authority
which is good, but which it is not at
liberty to give, that representatives Of
the st. Louis and San Francisco rail-
road company were in Moran lately
and secured an option on depot
grounds, giving out the declaration
that their road was planning to begin
very soon the construction of branch
from Girard to lola by way of Moran.
They gave the impression that the
Frisco was anxious to get into lola
ahead of the katy" if possible, and
that for this reason work would be
commenced very soon and pushed
hard.
The REGISTER gives this report for
what it is worth only remarking that
such action on the part of the Frisco
would certainly not be surprising.
Indeed the surprising thing is that this
road, which covers zinc territory so
completely, should not long ago have
put i the short spur from here to
Girard by which they would be put in
touch with the immense smelters at
lola. AS is remarked elsewhere
editorially whenever such a road as
the Frisco wishes to get to the factories
OF lola, a way will be found, and
further developments in this matter
will be awaited with interest. II the
"Katy" really wishes to get to lola
and the Frisco has also fully deter.
mined to have finger in the pie, there
may be pretty little scrap, which will
not do lola bit of harm.

Another Burning Cnsnidor.

REGISTER readers will remember the
burning of a box filled with saw dust
and used as a cuspidor In one of the
Office rooms of the New York store
building. The fire burned through the
floor and ceiling and went out. Sun
day morning a similarthing happened
at the Barclay-Shields clothing store,
which got shorched slightly at the
other fire. The boys had just finished
cuspidor on the saw dust pattern
and it stood behind the stove. The
night watch saw the smoke about 4
O'Clock Sunday morning. The door
was broken in and bucket of water
ended the fire. The floor is double
one and the water from the other fire
had thoroughly soaked between the
floors, so this must have been warm
and persistent little fire, else 1t could
not have burned through both soaked
| floors.

School Ended

Friday was the last day OF the lola
public schools for this year and some
thing over thousand youngsters
looked mighty happy. There were
ceremonies befitting the joyous occa-
sion in every room, the smallest tots
being fed ice cream and cake by their
teachers and others taken out picnick-
ing. During the forenoon there were
recitations and the final wind up of
work, the children carrying their
books home at noon. Most of them
returned all fixed up and their pretty
pink and blue gowns and bright faces
made a very pretty picture on the
streets. The boys didn't wear pink
gowns, but they had new swing
about them that shouted to high heav-
en- that reprieve had come and they
y ere once more their own bosses.
And there isn't croaker in town so
era bbed and dried up but that he sym
pathizes with the kids.

Geo. H. Eddy from New York State,
an evangelist of years of successful
experience has been in lola for the
past four weeks, having in view the
organizing and establishing of a

Mission which will constitute a Free
Reading Room, Gospel Service
Room in which.meetings will be held
every night and three meetings on
Sunday.)
Meals served at nominal cost and
beds at ten and fifteen cents per night.
The purpose of theinstitution is three
fold; First, to furnish an opportunity
for men and women who have nc
established home to become improved
in intelligence, morals and purity and
in service as laborers or in business
pursuits. Second, to encourage in.
dustry, and help them to positions
Third, AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALI
to exert an influence in the genera,
welfare of the public.
There can be no doubt of the great
advantage to any town of an institu-
tion properly conducted along these
lines. The only question in this in
stance is whether lola has grown to g
sufficient size to maintain such an un.
dertaking here. MIR. Eddy seems tC
be a thoroughly earnest and sincere
man and is certainly entitled to con.
sideration and encouragement.
