CURRENT POLITICS.

Saws the Louisville Courier Journal, There
are reports that President Roosevelt who has
taken IL upon himself to settle the strike in
Pennsylvania, is highly dispieased because Gcv-
ernof Store has called out additional troops,
and the same rumors intimate that Store was
largely actuatcd BY his dislike Of Roosevelt,
who seems 10 think he Is governor OF Pennsyl-
vsnia as well as president of the United States.
There stranger things than the possibility that
the Broncho Busters political play in the an
thracite strike may have such a different effect
than he intended that It may make Pattison the
successor Of Stone this year and Of Roosevelt in
1904,
indianapolis Sentinel The admirers of Presi-
dent Roosevelt who have been expecting him TO
do something fierce in the coal matter must
now begin to realize that he is not the sort of
man they have taken him for. They might have
taken warning from the way he abandoned the
fight for Cuban reciprocity, or from the manner
in which he permitted the speculative New York
banks 70 be relieved by violation Of the laws of
the United States. Mr.. Roosevelt is a man who

ously, but he does not last unless ne finds there
is no obstruction in the way When a lion rises

welt decides that he does not care to go that
way. Any other old way will do him.

Where the evening shadows fall,
And there softly fits

And of ebon hue,
And she doesn't get around
AS she used 10 do,
And she holds the babe and sits
Sits with half-shut eyes,
Grooming in an undertone
Old time lullabyes.
And the baby plays and pranks.
And it softly COOS

In its shiny shoes,
And it kicks and wripples
Turns and twists and sope,1s
And the spirit Of unrest
Seems to work its heels.

Snuggle It and fonde Il
With soft caress;
But world Of longing comes.
Comes and leaves its trace
Leaves its wistful wishfll loot

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Il is to be hoped, says the Atlanta News tina,
no newspaper and no citizen Of these Southern
states will be tempted to any expression Of reei-
proea bitterness by the utterances OF General
Wilson and Captain Potter at the Grand Army
ceremonies in Washington yesterday. They were
merely individual opinions, and are not repre-
sentative Of average opinion either in the Grand
Army or among the Northern people This much

Wilson and Potter we're almost Immediately multi
fed by the liberal speech Of General Howard.
who followed them. The North should not be
stirred by the sporadic and unrepresentatiye ut
terances Of casual and radical extremists in the
South. And on the other hand, we in the South
should give over the habit Of getting angry over
the occasional mouthings Of some blatant sec.
tionaist or some ill-tempered politician who
speaks for himself alone across the line. The
people are all right. The masses are at peace
and in full fraternity. This is one country 1t
Is our country. If II is not our country we
have no country, and IL it is our country It Is
ours to cherish and love, and to live in at peace
and in harmony with our fellow citizens-every-
where. We are too big and too brave and too
busy to note the petulance or the spleen of in
dviduals. We can afford to laugh at it. As for
General Wilson, he is a very old man There
are many evidences, besides this that he is in
his dotage

Borrowing Habits of Poets.

On Tennyson's habit of failing to
recognize clearly his own borrowings
from the classical poets, Mr.. Lang OBJ
serves that the poets have always had
kind of regal Indifference to their
own lighter productions. Mr.. Lang
says: "Scott did not care; no, not when
he found that he had unwittingly taken
a line from a poem by the valet OF a
friend. In the preface to a little col
lection of verses from the novels he
frankly declares that he cannot pretend
to be certain which are Of his own COM
position and which are not.
'"To take an example from the level
at the foot of Parnassus, | once read,
in an American paper, some lines at
tributed to Mr.. Austin Dobson. NOT
bad for Dobson,' I said freely to a
friend. But it was proved on me that
the rhymes were my own! z bard VINO
forgets his own verses may be par
doned for remembering those or otner
people and mistaking half line OF
somebody else's for his own. dare
say that Tennyson did this OCCASION
ally, but he could hardly say that the
sun sets without being accused OF un-
conscious borrowing"

When that great plainsman J. B.

one Saturday night at a hotel in Port

When he went to his room to seek
rest, he found that the adjoining room
was occupied by company Of fashion
able and rich young sports Of Portland
who, it did not take him long to dis

game Of poker for high stakes. In vain

They did so and were impressed with

if he would join them.

know, I'm a tenderfoot east" he re-
piled.
They were willing to 'post'' him,
and, playing awkwardly, making blum

ingly greatly interested, he continued
to play until daylight, when he put his
winnings, some 81 800, in his pocket.

A few years ago when the bicycle
craze was at it's height and bicycles
sold for $3.50 each everybody wanted Q
wheel. -Four years ago the manufac-
ture of these vehicles had it's boom
There were then $50 factories where
bicycles were made. Now there only
sixteen of such factories in the Unit
ed States, and the price Of wheels has
gone down to $12 and $15, with dull
sales. The horse, which was to be
sidetracked by the wheel, has the
middle of the road.
