DIR. Hepworth, who died few days ago, was II
preacher in Boston at the time of Lincoln's as
sassination by John Wilkes Booth. At once
hue and cry arose against Edwin Booth, and Mr..
Hepworth. with voice and pen, denounced any
such acclaim, stating on his personal knowledge
that Edwin Booth was loyal man. an excellent
citizen and an ardent admirer of Lincoln, for
whom he had voted twice. These utterances
and writing more than anything else, perhaps,
stemmed the tide of unreasoning denunciation.

Written for The Evening Star.
The announcement has been made that
President Roosevelt has selected Represeu-
tative Charles E. Littlefield of Maine to be
his champion in the House of Representa-
tives in carrying out trough on trusts"
program of legislation at the next session
Of Congress.
This announcement In itself is enough to
silhouette the towering figure of the man
from the pine tree state on the horizon of
public gaze. but still greater significance is
added when 1t is realized that the question
of regulating trusts has been taken up as
the paramount" issue also by the demo-
cratic party.
The Presidents selection of Mr.. Little
field to carry out his legislative sugges-
lions will be discussed from many points of
view. Mr.. Littlefield has not had long
service in the House. he ranks seventh in
the judiciary committee, from which the
trust bill will have to be reported. Never
theless. it is believed by those who have
studied the new Maine legislator, that both
his record on the subject In hand. as well
is his ability as a lawyer and his forceful
personality and readiness in debate all
amply justify the President in his selec-
ton.

1t will be seen that this girls mother
without forcing herself-gets a great deal
more personal outing than she could hope
Tor did she keep herself resolutely tied to
her daughter, like the mother of the first
girl In this story. Both are real girls; and
their lists are both genuine. And. quite as
truthfully, one is as pretty and attractive
as the other. 1t is simply a matter OF let
ting the men break the ice for themselves.
And yet this mother often confesses that
she is tempted to shut down on Jenny s
liberty.
IF we stay on all winter,I suppose shall
be obliged to do it," she says. We shall
be no longer tourists and shall have a
wider circle of acquaintance. 1 suppose
my daughter must fall In with the French
rules, like all the other girls who live In
Paris"
Another Way.
1 have often known girls who sought to
solve the painful problem by refusing all
all male escort and going about Paris in
each others company. Two such brave
creatures-aH the more so because they are
both pretty-started out a week ago on Just

smart young Parisians saw the girls jump
into the cab and the cab start off at
brisk pace.
The dilemma, therefore, takes this new
form: If the American girl-in-Paris goes
out with man acquaintance, people talk;
if she goes out with another girl, she runs
every chance of being annoyed by Washers.
How shall an American girl behave in
frisky PARISH She can, as you have seen,
behave in two ways. She can live up TO
the Paris rules and rejoice in the con-
seriousness of being quite correct, or she
can ignore the rules Of Paris as inappIica-
bic to her own case. think the latter is
by far the better choice. The talk, If there
Is talk, will only be the talk of boarding
houses. STERLING HELLO,

LYNX A TERROR AT BAY.
But Scourge of the Canadian Wilds
Will Not Voluntarily Attack Man.
From the Ottawa Free Press.

FROM tbe pbth"b free ffpsS.
Scarcely another animal presents such a
striking picture of savage hatred OF I'M
compromising ferocity as a Canadian lynx
at bay. That brutal head, with low fore
head, beneath which two cruel eyes are
blazing like evil stars; that fierce display
of teeth between the parted wrinkled lips.
and the massive, powerful feet. hiding
fiesh-tearing hooks Of living steel. all inn
press the beholder with the fact that
personal encounter with a Canadian Wild
cat must end in death for at least one OF
the combatants.
Not that the lynx Is specially aggressive
in his attitude toward men-far from It
and the stories of how he follows belated
hunters through the overhanging branches
of the forest trees. seeking favorite OPP
portunity to spring upon his human prey,
are products of the Imagination. But when.
after a chase, he is driven TO take refuge
In a tree where he crouches in preparation
for his last battle, 1 would prefer. unless
armed with rifle. to interview almost ANY
other creature of equal weight.
MANY wears ago the Canadian lynx was
to be found in the mountainous districts of
New England, New York and Pennsylvania.
but now he is seldom seen far south of the
Canadian border. He is TO be met with in
Labrador and is quite common in certain
parts of the Dominion, where he is hunted
chiefly for his skin.
He is somewhat larger than the common
American wildcat Qynx rutusl. and, mort
over. his head is rounded atd broader IN
proportion than that of his kinsman. His
triangular, furry ears are each tipped with
a tuft of coarse black hair. TIE general
color of the body is gray, with mary irregu
lar darker spots; the fur on the undsr side
of the body is lighter. Beginning at the
ears and extending downward around ;he
throat is ruff of longer hair, which adds
not a little to the animals appearance of
ferocity. The tail is short, thick and well
covered with hair.
He is splendidly adapted for the wild life
which he leads. Clad il mis- thick winter
fur he can resist the most penetratin
cold, and when his hunting luck rs against
him. as il often is his great vitality enables
him to exist for many DAYS without food.
His methods of pursuing and capturing his
pcey are very similar to those adopted by
the domestic cat
