performance in the canvas theatre AT

say that the average American citizen
would prefer. to trade with Canada on a
fair basis rather than incur her i'll Will

so far as any proper consideration of eX-
listing conditions Is 'conccrned.
Concessions on Lumber Proposed.
Concessions on lumber offer probably
the only avenue Of commercial approach
to Canada at this time. Canada would
give nearly anything she has for free
lumber in the United States;s she would
give a great deal for a. reduced duty on
lumber: but nothing whatever without
lumber concession Of some sort. This Is
the opinion OF government officials who
are qualified to discuss this subject in
telligently. The strong opposition Of the
American lumber trade to lumber conces-
sions is well known. Any abatement of
| that opposition is not regarded as likely
to occur for years. Altogether. it is
thought in Washington that reciprocity
with Canada is a long distance In the
future. This country is now anxious for
it, but Canada is Indifferent or openly
hostile. Years ago. notably at the time
Of the abolition of The treaty Of sc, Can
ada was anxious. and this country was in
different or openly hostile. With eacl,
| succeeding year, Canada will be the better
able to get along without American COM
mercial aid. How, under these condi-
tions. asks my informant. will reciprocity
be possible?
The treaty recently framed with New
foundland has no bearing on the Can
adian case. for Newfoundland Is not a
part of Canada.

ROOSEVELT BOYS

IN DEMOCRATIC
FASHION.

Roosevelt will take care Of his in
struction until he becomes old enough
to learn his A b C's.
The children are accompanied to
school each morning by Henry Plnck-
ney, the colored man, who has as
signed to himself the President,
and on other occasions Mrs. Roose-
welt makes up the guest list and
has some of the women with whom
she became acquainted in Washington
during her previous residences here.
These little home parties are altogeth-
err informal. When soldiers are there
old stories are rehearsed and old jokes
%recraeked. When the guests comprise
such men as r. w. Glider, books are
invariably the subject of conversation,
for the President is a great reader and
keeps abreast of all the good current
literature.
One of the women who dined with
the R%oosevelt's last week when jok-
ingly asked by a man of her acquaint-
ance what kind of a dinner she had,
and what they talked about, replied:
1--WE had a good dinner of real food
and I found out what Mrs. Roosevelt
had noticed regarding the fall patterns
in the New York stores just before
she came to Washington"
The children do not join in these
dinners. They haYe their evening
meal served in the rooms that have
been fitted up as the nursery and the
old folks are unmolested after G
o'clock except on special occasions.

Explorer Who May Have Found the
North Pole.
A umo has sprung up in Chris
tiania that Captain Otto Sverdrup, the
Arctic explorer who won his reputa-
ton as an assistant OF Nansen, whom
he accompanied in 1883 on his famous
expedition across Greenland and on
Nansen's sill more famous voyage on
the Fran, has reached the north pole
and is now returning home. There is no
confirmation of this report, nor is any
thing known Of its origin. but even
the m has aroused the keenest in
terest.
Captain Sverdfup sailed on his ex-
pediticn to the arCt.cs on June IA, 1898.
The %ostensible purpose of the expsdi-
ton was to explore Smiths sound and
the Robson channel, discover the
northern limits of Greenland, study the
origin of the photographic ice, end to
note the tides and temperatures; but
there was no doubt at the time the ex-
petition sailed on the Fran from
Christiania that the bold Sverdrup
and at least one or two of his com
panions would push on and try to
reach the pole.
The outfit of the expedition. consist
ed of ski, sledges, canoes, snowshoes,
and everything necessary for trans
portation. Clothing and sleeping bags
were taken along, while the food sup
plies were large and varied. The draft
animals on the Fran numbered ten
splendid elk dogs, a large variety OF

To these we e added Gig ty Eskimo
dogs, secured in Greenland. OF the
sixteen members of the expedition five
were executive officers and five were
scientists.

Professor z. L. Thorndyke Of the
Teachers College, connected with Col
umbia College, has beer discussing the
problem, now beginning to be an old
one, whether women who are college
graduates marry, and, if so, at what
age they decide in favor of making the
momentous change. To arrive at some
solution of the problem he has been
studying the cata 'ogues of Vassar,
Smith, and Wellesley Colleges, as we'll
as of the coeducational institution at
Oberlin, and the result is summed up
in the conclu ion that as time goes on
college women are less inclined to
marry. He says: 1T is absurd to
suppose that college women differ from
others in possessing superior attrac-
tiveness in mature years, and We are,
therefore, led to conclude that the col
lege graduate has been growing less
and less inclined to get married, or less

The retail price of meats in Chicago
is higher than for years, says the
Tribune. The housewife, the restau-
rantkeeper, and the hotel proprietor
all are feeling the effects Of the
drought which extended over the coun-
try last summer. Scarcity of corr and
other feed for fattening stock is the
a assigned for the increased price
of all meats. Within the last few
months beef has been advanced from
two to three cents a pound, the heav-

TOURISTS WHO DON'T TOUR.

Agency That Supplies Evidence of
Travel Never Actually Undertaken.
Not long since a successful book of
travel in the far east was written by
a European who had never been near
er Asia than the eastern boundary of
Vienna. The work, according to a
London paper, was made possible by
IN agency for bogus travellers which is
established in Paris and which has
clients all over Europe and some in
the United States. This agency, says
the London authority, is nominally Il
for doing the usual touring business,
but it actually exists for providing any
one who can pay the necessary fees
with complete evidence of their tray
els" posting them up on all the de-
tails of their journey and giving
them a perfect description of all the
sights they saw; in fact, generally
turning them over to their friends,
travel-stained, and full of adventure.
And the pseudo-tourist can choose al
most any tour in the world, If he is
prepared to pay well for it.
He can go down into some cheap
farm house, send a fee to the agency,
and later he al turn up among his
friends with a wonderful knowledge of,
for instance, the Alps, a file Of receipt
ed hotel bills, his portmanteaus
%smothered in foreign labels, and with
an armful of small tri1es bought in
the little hamlets he didn't stay at or
pass through-Swiss clocks, models of
Swiss villages, even bits of rocks he
"chipped off" the higher mountain
peaks-and he will be able to tell you
all about the good and the bad hotels
at which he stopped along the route.
In short, he could thoroughly convince
you that he has actually taken the
| tour.
To talk OF having done the Alps is
the ambition of thousands OF people
who have not the nerve for mountain
eering, or who cannot afford the ex-
pense, cheap as the tour is nowadays.
1t is common enough to find people
posing as travellers on the strength OF
this little tour alone, and it Is prob
able that a fair number of these gen
tlefolk have never set eyes upon the
famous mountains. The alpenstock,
guide-ropes and views they show their
friends as evidence of their trips can
be produced at very moderate prices;
and the agency for bogus travellers has
well-written little books, from which
their clients can learn quite as much
as they could by actually taking the
tour.
Also, for a small additional fee, eli
ents are provided with notebooks anc
the copy from which they can write in
the notebooks short, daily accounts Of
their doings during the tour. And al
this glory for about the fourth or fftf
of what the tour would actually COS.

and the children along with their IA
ther were placed in the most conspic-
uous position in the nation, it was
predicted that these plans would be
changed, and that the children would
either be placed in some private and
exclusive school or that they would
be taught by a governess or tutor Who
would reside at the White House. 1t
was urged that the attendance of the
Roosevelt children in the public
schools would make them constantly
unprotected objects of cranks if not
actual kidnapers.
Boys Going to Public Schools.
President Roosevelt laughed at these
fears when, after the children had ar
rived and the question of their educa-
ton came up. Mrs. Roosevelt, how
ever, was not SO certain. Finally it
was arranged that the boys should at
tend the public schools and that Ethel
should go to the Cathedral school in
Woodlcy lane. This is an institution
under the supervision of Bishop Sat
terlee of the Episcopal diocese. Ethel
will board 1t the school during the
week, but she will return to the White
House to spend Saturday and Sunday
with her parents. Kermit, who is a
sturdy little fellow with many of his
fathers traits. and who has an ample
supply of self-reliance, now attends the
Preston school, and he gave it out
cold on the day that he was regis
tered there that If any Of the other
boys tried to make fun of him because
he was the presidents son he would
make 1t hot for them. Archie goes daily
to the Force school. Here he will
have as classmates many of the lit
tie sons and daughte S OF the members
OF the diplomatic corps who reside in
the a%ristocratic ne%ighborhood in which
the school is located.

Theodore. Jr., will continue to at

and Miss Alice, the oldest daughter of

her debut in society this winter, will
not attend school. Quentin, the baby,
