makes the difference in the effect upon
the boy and the girl? Why does the sex
make any difference in this case? Ma
poleon said at one time that the great
est need of France was more good
mothers,'' but if all the people Of
France could be judged by Napoleon, |
think France needed something beside
more good mothers. And so today, our
country needs Gathering" great
deal worse than it needs mothering. !"
The quotation Is often made use of :
t"rhe hand that rocks the cradle rules
the world, - and it is true, just as long
as the world can be kept in the cradle !;
but alas, the youngster grows and is
soon out of the cradle and begins to
totter around and cling to your dresses
and then very soon he is in knicker-
bockers and it is not long before he
must go to school, and when this step
is taken, the world beyond is the rul-
ing hand TO great extent: the boy
| learns lots of things at school, and rs
| he grows older he must look to someone
| for an ideal, and if there is anything a
boy don't want to be like, its woman
he wants to be man out and out, and
so he starts to be man, and alas, for
the boy, if his father is not fit for his
! ideal in this direction. So many men
hardly know their own families Of
course they work hard and make money
enough to support them comfortably
and supply them with Injuries in some
cases, but when they come hoMe al
night, they sit down with that invul-
nerable barrier between man and bis
family the newspaper spread it across
in front of them, they on one side anc
the family on the other, and everything
must be kept quiet while the father
reads and he never steps for minute
to take an interest in what his children
may he doing, what they may be study
ing at school, what associates the,
may have, or, in fact, take any in
terest in their little personal affairs
as they should do to be good fathers.

SUICIDE OF HUGH KEMP,


Elkton, Md, April %. Hugh Kemp,
aged 80 years, one of the most promi.
nent farmers of Talbot county, com
mitted suicide Wednesday at his home,
in Trappe district, by shooting the side
of his head off with a shotgun.
Mr.. Kemp had been in bad health
for some years, and the depression
natural to such condition is supposed
to have been the cause of the suicide.
He occasionally had severe pains in his
head, and at such times his mind
wandered. Several years ago he dis
appeared, and was found in Baltimore,
totally unconscious of is whereabouts.
His son, Harry Kemp, who lived
with his father, had teen talking with
him in the sitltngroom, and he ap-
peared to be in excellent spirits. A
few minutes after leaving the room
Harry heard the report of gun, and,
running to the slttingroom, found his
father sitting in chair with the left
side of his head shot OIL and his brains
scattered about. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Kemp laid his head against the muzzle
of the gun and then pulled the trigger.
A widow and one son survive him.

WESTERN TOUR ABANDONED
Has Been Suffering From Abscess
Formed Of. His Leg by Accident at
PIttsfieId, Mass.-He Returns to
Washington.

Indianapolis, Sept. 24.-President
Roosevelt Tuesday afternoon was
forced TO abandon the remainder o.
his trip to the northwest and to under.
go a surgical operation. The accident
which befell him at Pittsfield, Mass,
when a trolley car crashed into his
carriage, Is responsible for the sudden
ending of the presidents trip and his
being compelled to undergo the oper.
alton. In that accident his knee was
badly bruised and an abscess soon
formed which gave him some trouble,
but not enough at first to interfere
With his plans.
The hardships of his present trip,
however, aggravated the trouble, and
DR.. Lung, his official physician, togeth'
er with DR.. Richardson, who accom-
panied him on the trip, thought 1t adj
visable yesterday to consult other doc.
tors. Accordingly, Drs. Oliver and
Cook were called to the Columbia club
where the president was to be enter.
tanned at luncheon. They. decided that
an operation was necessary and dc.
cided that it should be performed at
once. This decision was arrived at
before luncheon, but was not allowed
to interfere with that meal. At the
conclusion OF the luncheon Secretary
Cortelypu issued the following state
ment to the press:
''At 3:15 p. m. the president went
from the Columbia club to st. Vim.
cents hospital in his own carriagS,
and shortly after he was in the hos
pital the operation required was per

At the conclusion of the operations
the physicians authorized the folio ".
ing statement: AS a result of the

trolley accident at Pittsfield, Mass,
there was found to be circumscribed

He will go directly from Indianap-
oils to Washington.
The announcement came as start
ling surprise. The president is in such
good health otherwise that it was hard
to believe he was about to submit 20
an operation.
At 7:45 o'clock last evening the
president, accompanied by members of
his immediate party and escorted b.
a company Of infantry, was carried on
a stretcher from st. Vincent's hospital
to his car, and the train left a few
minutes later for Washington.

A DISTINGUISHED SCIENTIST.
Major Powell, Director of Smithsonian
Institute, Is Dead.

Haven, Me-, Sept. 24.-Major j. W.
Powell, director of the bureau of eth
nology at the Smithsonian institute AZ
Washington, died at 6 O'Clock last
night at his summer home, here He
had been critically i'll here for some
days.
Washington, Sept 24.-Scientists In
Washington placed Major Powell IA
the foremost rank of the biologists
and anthropologists of the world. He
had been identified with the scientif.
work OF the government since the
early sixties.
Major Powell's most notable scien-
tific work, from the view point of sci.
entists here, was his exploration Of
the grand canon of the Colorado in
the COS. His fellow workers say thai
he was not only the first man VINO
ever went through the Colorado canon,
but the only one who so far ever has
travelled its entire length from Green
river station to the mouth of the
canon. This exploit, scientists say,
was one of the most notable geograph-
ical, geological and chronological ex-
plorat1ons and surveys in the history
OF North America. 1t was partly I'M
dertaken in connection with the
Smithsonian institution and partly by
means of his own private resources.

In various differences, which cul-

an angry attitude as to leave Downing

that the Venezuelan government In
