The Presidents Dog.

\ little incident which somebody
other day is significant both as an il
lustratiOn Of certain traits in the char
acter of President Roosevelt and as an
example for his admirers. There has
been an impression among certain of
his critics that he believed "the siren
uous life" to consist chiefly in hunting
and killing animals; but though a
mighty hunter, he is not merely a
NimrOd. as the folio wing occurance
shows.
1t was rainy, dreary day, soon
after sir. Roosevelt's return to Wash
ington, and after busy morning the
President and his secretary started
out for a walk. Just outside the door
lay homeless, friendless dog, as close
to the wall as he could get, his body
curled up i'll the smallest possible
bunch to avoid the rain and possible
observation. As the two men emerged
from the door he looked up appre-
hensiVely to see if a kick or a stern
''be off with you, now!' would com
pei him to beat rapid retreat But
nothing of the sort occurred Mr.
Roosevelt's expressive face took on a
plying and kindly look, and bending
down, be stroked the animals head
and pulled him gently by the ears.
Poor doggie, haven't you airy
master?" he inquired. Then he went
back into the house, and the dog.
with instructive understanding of the
situation. trotted close at his heels
! The President ordered that the waif
should be taken to the kitchen and
given good meal; and it is said that
that dog will be the dog of the White
House during this administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not one of those
sportsmen who are satisfied with pop
ping away at tame pigeons. When he
goes hunting he wants the excitement
of killing dangerous wild beast 1t
will be good thing for his boy ad-
mirers to remember that the man who
led the charge AT San Juan Hill was
quite as ready to befrend a homeless
cur as 10 hunt cougars or grizzlies.

ton, president OF the New York Insti-
tute Of Social Economics. Mr.. Taylor
took the position that any discussion in

have damaging effect upon the coun-

most equitable tariff law the United
States had ever had. He took q decided
position against trusts and said that
they are not fostered by the protective
tariff, Mr.. Taylor also said that he be-
lieved in the principal OF reciprocity.
but that he did not indorse any Of the
recently negotiated reciprocity treaties.
