The president recently delivered
some pertinent advice to certain
leaders of the republican party in the
south. As is his custom, Mr.. Roose-
welt spoke emphatically and to the
point. He said he was disgusted
with republican organizations which,
in their greed for patronage, sacri-
feed the interests of the party and
that the greatest triumph for a re-
publican organization in the south
would be to send a republican to
congress. Mr.. Roosevelts vi sws in
this direction have long been known
in Washington and it is believed here
that this reproof will have a most
beneficial effect of the party. The
growth of manufacturing interests
in the southern states is resulting in
an increasing protection sentiment
and if the most is made of the situa-
tion there is reason to believe that
the time is not far distant when sub
stantial gains will be made in the
party in that locality.

General Wood with having stolen a

After the war, it was transferred to
the quartermaster's department and
was eventually placed at the disposal
Of General Wood for his official and
private use. AT one time the vessel
was loaned to Colonel Iasker H..

paid the crew of the kanaWha as the
vessel was then in use for the c0llec-

Mr.. Goddard appeared at the stable

He walked hurriedly out Of the barn
fecking the dust from his neatly fitting
trousers with riding whip. His figure
was almost as perfect as the setting of
his face, and unintentionally fell to
admiring it. He was every inch gen
tleman, and the mystery of his strange
double life was intensified. What rea-
son had he to rob house in the dead
of night and that house belonging to a
woman he loved? =.
Then 1t occurred to me that he had
been searching for some papers or arti-
cles that concerned his welfare and
that the robbery of the silverware was
only an incidental feature of the
nights work. The goods were probably
taken out to cover up his tracks, to
give the impression that some ordinary
burglar had done the work. Satisfied
with this solution Of the mystery, I de
