THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

An article on 'The Presidency" :"
by Theodore Roosevelt, which
was published in the November
9th issue of The Yontll's Compan-
ion. was of great public interest.
When the article was written Mr..
Roosevelt had not even been
nominated for the Vice Presiden-
cy.
Nothing was then further from
his thought than that he would so
soon exercise the great powers
which are entrusted to the Presi
dent of the United States.
In view Of the circumstances
the article possesses an importance
more than ordinary, and 1t was
eagerly looked for. The number
of The Youths Companion con-
tanning it, and all the subsequent
issues of 1902, will be sent free to
new subscribers from the time
their subscription of S1.75 Is re-
ceived for the 1903 volume. The
new subscriber Will also receive

Have You ever noticed the interest
that money attracts even if it is only
q single cent? The next time that YOU
see copper coin dropped in street

car will turn to the spot where it
dropped, and there will be manifested
real general concern over it's recov-

to come in contact over the poiat of it's
disappearance, and then their owners
will draw suddenly back and try to
hppear unconcerned, but in another
second they are again leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears to have
brushed memory of the trivial occur
renee aside, but just as soon as the
eyes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure to go back to the
floor in the hope that the truant coin
will be seen.
When he has gone, there is a re-
newed interest among the passengers,
for the stage of "finders keepers has
arrived. and those near the spot of
disappearance become quite diligent
until they are aware they make GEN.

'"The reporters-ought not to-the re-
porters ought not to be the ones to

what should be left out-but-the mem.

Making Them All One.

An elderly minister is fond of telling
of ''break" he once made at Il double
wedding of two sisters. 1t was ar
ranged that the two couples should be
married with one ceremony, the two
brides responding at the same time
and the two bridegrooms doing the
same. There had not been any pre-
yious rehearsal, as the minister had
come long distance and had reached
the church but few minutes before
the time for the ceremony.
All went we'll until it came time for
the minister to say. "And now I pro-
nounce you man and wife,"
It suddenly became obvious to the
minister that the usual formula would
not do in the case of two men and two
wives, and he could not think of any
way Of making "man" and "wife"
plural in the sentence. In his despera-
tion and confusion he lifted his hands
and said solemnly:
"And now pronounce you, one and
all, husband and wife!'

The Olde,t Death Sentence.

The Oldest death sentence extant is
found in the Amherst papyri contain
ing the. trials of state criminals in
Egypt, about 1900 B. G. The criminal
in this case was found guilty of magic,
which his judges state was worthy of
death, which he carried out, and he
killed himself" apparently by stab
bing, as in the Japanese "hari kari"
which is also of very ancient origin.
Among less civilized peoples drown
ing would seem to have been the earli-
est method of legal punishment, for
about $50 B. G. the Britons killed their
criminals by throwing them into a
quagmire. OF other than capital pun
ishments the Oldest recorded comes
from Chaldea, where it was enacted
some 5000 years ago that when any
one MANNED slave ''the hand that
thus offended should pay him each day

Lengthening a Bees Tongue.

Lengthenfng a Bees Tongue.
Man is often blamed for driving to
extinction many sorts of beautiful
creatures, but the account is far more
than balanced by the amount of good
he has done for those animals which
proved useful and could be tanned.
Take the case of the bee. The bee
lives by it's tongue, with which organ
1t is able to extract the honey from
flowers. Now, bees tongue is natu-
rally about twenty-ffth of an inch
long. Clever beekeepers, by keeping only
those bees with naturally long tongues,
have succeeded in lengthening the
tongues of number of bee colonies
to the extent of another hundredth of
an inch. 1t does not sound much, but
it enables those insects to do quar-
ter as much work again in the same
time.
Man has done more than this for
bees. He has given them ready made
homes, where they are safe from wasps
and other enemies; frames for making
their combs without using large guam
titles of wax for outside walls, and
food during fowerless weather.
