ROOSEVELT AND CONGRESS.

WALTER WELLMAN, the Chi
cago Record Herald correspon-
dent in writing from Washing
ton, calls attention to some of the
personal characteristics of Pres
ident Roosevelt, which are so
thoroughly in contrast to con-
ditions existing in this state,
where the governor has been
likened unto the president, as
to be worthy of attention as
showing "that there is differ
ence that is an awful big differ
ence" between the two. Gov
ernor La Toilette has proven him
self to be an arrogant dictator,
while Mr.. Roosevelt is content
with the duties of the Executive,
and is willing to give the repre-
sentatives of the people a chance
for 6heir lives and opinions. Mr..
Wellman says:
'sInstead of taking congress
by the throat and telling it what
it must and must not do, the
president keeps his place. He
does not lack clearneSS nor force
fulness, but he everywhere rec
ognizes the proper line of de-
narration between recommend
alton and dictation. He fulfils
his constitutional function when
he brings forward suggestions
as to principles, fortifies them
with facts and cogent reasoning
and leaves the details of their
working out to the wisdom of the
national legislature.
"Men who know the president
through and through regard this
phase of the message as the best
possible proof of his strength
and adaptability to the great task
which he has been called on to
perform. He is master of him
self as one must needs be who
hopes to master others. He
knows how to restrain his ard
ent, strenuous, emphatic tenn
permanent. He knows how to
recognize conditions and whole
some traditions. The discovery
that the president makes few
positive, definite recommends
tions, if it is a discovery, is felt
by those of keener analysis and
clearer understanding to be a
tribute to his self-containment
and promise of his successful
leaderships.
POSSIBLY when Governor La
Toilette starts out to stump the
state again the railroad com
panies may be prevailed upon to
give him another one sixth rate
for his transport ation. We are
informed, and that very credit
ably, that none of the money
necessary to carry on the Wis
consin Republican League has
been contributed by any railroad
company doing business in the
state, and in addition the league
has paid good round price for
all the transportation required
by it's members and officers in
going about the state. Since the
great corporate interests re-
presented by the railroad COM
panies have not contributed to
the stalwart fund it looks very
Likely that they are well satisfied
with the present state admins
tration and might again contrib
ute to it's possible success by
furnishing another special train
at nominal figure. And why
shouldn't they nobody has yet
risen to show how, when or
where the La Toilette admins
tration has attempted to make
these great tax-escaping institu-
tions pay their just proportion of
the expenses of the state.

A Woman OF Three Pocketbooks.

Two young women went to a matt
nee last Wednesday and on coming out
after the performance one OF them
missed her pocketbook. She had been
holding it in her lap and had become 80
excited over the play that she forgot
all about her money. As soon as she
discovered her loss she rushed back To
the theatre which was all but emptied
of it's audience and made a search for
her missing property in about the seat
she had occupied. No pocketbook was
found

This Dog is Z Money Saver.

Titnin ohio. mas a dog whose in
the direction OF boarding money. He
is Owned by Landlord DUFF Chamber
lain of the Shawhan House, and is
probably the only dog in the world
that has bank account. This thrifty
canine is 4 small thoroughbred terrier
and his name is Zip.
In early life Zip learned to pick UP
coins thrown upon the floor. If several
different kinds We're scattered for his
benefit he invariably Disseminated in
favor Of silver dollars. Guests at the
hotel We're fond Of indulging Zip in this
pastime until he began carrying coins
to the landlords private apartments,
upstairs.
Mr. Chamberlain refunded the money
and then, for future financial opera
tions. provided a toy bank for Zip and
taught him how to drop the captured
coins through the slot. lips trick is
a favorite practical joke to serve on
the uninitiated. and after a travelling
man sees Zip disappear upstairs with
his coin the landlord makes il good.
Yesterday Mr.. chamberlain opened the
bank and found it contained nearly $50
which he had from time to time helped
to contribute toward Zip's rainy tdog)
day. He placed the amount in a local
savings bank to lips credit. Zip does
not understand this phase in his career
as capitalist, but his pursuit of the elu
size dollars continues undiscouraged.--

Her N 1West Estae

An old lady who had come H. from the

preached the carriage from the rear and
didn't notice when she got in that there

runner in the blue uniform who stood
on the sidewalk looking for passengers.

Five cents he said. Take you right

The old lady settled back comfort bly,
in the easy seat to which she had been
assigned. and a moment later the ca.-
rage was humping along over paving
stones lodging in and out among trucks
sliding sidewise in slippery car tracks
and grazing elevated railroad pillars. A
row OF men sat on the cross seat in front
of the lady. shutting out the view ahead
so she sat with her hands in her lap and
rode contentedly along. AT the corner of
Madison and Dearborn streets several
passengers got off. and then for the first
time the lady from the country had a
chance to look out in front. She saw the
operator pull nickel-plated lever, and
then she glanced over the dashboard
There was look of mingled alarm and

H,w a Negro Downed a Runaway Mule.

Not for years has such a deed of daring

Here is the story: 1t was about $3.50
O'Clock that a mule, a strorg mule Of rio-
lent temperament and kicking propensi-
ties, proceeded to kick ont of a wagon to
which he was hitchcd. When he got
through there was not piece Of leather
or even a string upon him, even the
bride being off. He then "2vGrted up and
down Main street for a while and cleared
things out. Finally as he approached the
Kendall Building corner, Mitchell VIII

the Arthur plantation. but who works at
Swygert's store on Washington street
stepped directly in front of the mule.
Man and animal came together shoulder
to shoulder Williams clasped his arms
around the mules neck. Then animal
attempted to paw him and dragged him
some distance Then Williams gave his
body a slight twist and the mule hit the
hard street as if all his feet had been
knocked out from under him at once
There the man held the mule while the
latter kicked until the bride could be
brought and put on. Then the astonished
mule was led away completely subdued
