RECIPE FOR HARD THINKING.
Lie in IA Boat on Lake in the Middle
of the Woods.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
There is an Eatern writer who has
his own method of getting the plots
for his stories and framing the final
speech which the hero makes to the
villain in the last chapter but one.
This man, who lives in New York, gets
on the front seat of a surface car
at the Battery. crosses his legs, puts
an unlighted cigar into his mouth,
pulls his hat down over his eyes and
rides until the conductor tells him to
get off. He says that he thinks more
rapidly, originally, clearly and sue
cinctly in this way.
For the ordinary writer or thinker
there is no place in the world so good
as Toomy rowboat on a still inland
lake. He can sit up in it or lie down
in it, but in either case he is utterly
alone, and there is not a sound to
break his musing.
There is the soft lip-lipping of the
little waves against the boats side,
or, if he be anchored in the shade near
the shore, the wind rustles the trees,
but he gets used to these things in a
little while and finds them a positive
aid. The Irritation of a couple of
birds down by the lakes edge or the
splash CT some lazy bass thirty yards
away will attract his eye, but not
break the train of his thought.
A man so situated is out of the
world. Between him and the people
on shore stretches temporarily i'm
passable gulf. He would not be more
alone on another planet.
It is d good plan to take a thirty
foot cord with a lot of old iron tied
to it and anchor fifty feet from shore
opposite some unfrequented part of
the water, spread a quilt down upon
the boats bottom, put a pillow under
the back of the neck and stare up at
the sky. So, if one can keep awake,
the thoughts are bound to come.
Others noticing the boat stationary
and apparently empty may row out to
inquire. but they will see the rim OF a
hat. or the toe of a shoe sticking UP at
some little distance and then row back
argered within themselves.
TIC the man thus lying upon the boats
bottom comes strong sense of sep
aratio1 from the rest of mankind. For
the while he n a world to himself, Sc
cine from intrusion and what is in
HIM comes to the surface.
Mental toflers who have tried this
declare that there is no library in any
CITY. however ucdu the Walls ana nOOE-
ing nay be, and however secluded the
chamber, wherein mental processes are
SO swift and sure.
When tired of thought, or when the
plo. or essay or disputed fact in medi-
clue or banking problem or law plead
ing has been shaped or settled or
solved. there is always the water To
turn to- the thousand lights and shades,
the play which the wind makes upon
it, or the fish themselves.
The wise man will have his rod and
reel and lures with him. He can COM
pete his thinking and go to fishing or
think awhile and fish awhile on the
ride and tie principle with which two
Westerners travel on one horse, or he
can think and fish simultaneously.
1t is no bad thing to go out at
O'Clock in the morning and return for
noon luncheon with the plot of a novel,
or the details Of railway deal under
ones hat and half dozen black bass
at ones feet.

WoMAN's RELIEF CORPS MEETS.
Mrs. Jones, National President, Says
the Order Is All Right.

WASHINGTON D. c., Oct. 9.-The
twentieth annual convention Of the
Womans Relief corps began it's ses-
sions at the Church of Our Father this
morning. Mrs. Calista N. Jones, of
Vermont, national president, presided.
The entire convention joined in sing
ing the national anthem, and after that
the pretty ceremony of pledging anew
their allegiance to "Our country, one
language and one flag" The conven-
ton sang the hymn, "The Vacant
Chair" in honor of the late Paul Van
der WORT, the only male ever elected
to honorary membership in the organ
ization, who died in Cuba last spring.
Mrs. Jones delivered her annual adj
dress. The order was shown to be in
a f1ourishing condition. Over $4,000
was expended during the year, leaving
fund of over $1,000 on hand. Among
the more important recommendations
were the observance of Jan. 20, the
birthday of President Mckinley, as an
annual memorial day; the reaffirma-
ton of the transfer of the home prop
erty to the state of Ohio, and the re-
mission of Louisiana and Mississippi
to the condition of provisional depart
ments.
The remainder of the day was occu-
pied in listening to the speeches of ma
tional officers, members of the eXecu-
tive board, the board of directors of
the National w. r. G. home, the An
Jacksonville prison board, and the Ma
tional Council of Women. Tomorrow
officers for the ensuing year will be
elected
The Daughters of Veterans met to-
day, the principal event of the morn
ing session being the reception of Wis
iting delegations. In the afternoon re-
ports Of committees were read.
The convention of the Ladies of the
G. A. r. opened today with the largest
meeting in the history of the organ
ization. Routine work and the seat
ing of delegates occupied the days
session.
Over $50 delegates attended today's
meeting of the Woman's Veteran RI
lief union. Mrs. Sarah e. Beach, of
Hancock Union No. 1, delivered her
annual address. Mrs. Belle S. Morgan,
of Moline, ILL.,, the national president,
also delivered her annual address.

tice to Jones' case. If Gov. Van SAINT
and his committee think Jones has
been maligned by the government and
by the commission of Investigation,
now is their. opportunity for a vindi-
cation by giving forth the facts before
election day The Globe and the
voters of Minnesota generally would be
greatly obliged to the Republican COM
mittee for any enlightenment in the d.
rection of a Jones vindication, and now
is the time for the facts.
Gov. Van SAINT and his running
mate have just returned from a CAM
paign trip to Frazee, the site of the
Commonwealth Lumber company's OPP
erations; although they perhaps did
not enter the Indian reservations, the
seat of the alleged timber depredations.
If Gov. Van SAINT thinks that his run
ming mate has been unjustly called to
account by the government, and that
the record of Jones is clear enough to
entitle him to the Republican suffrage
at the polls, would it not be wise
step on the part of the governor to in
sist upon the production of the exoner-
ating facts, if there are such, before hs
and Jones take up further campaign
junkets together, speaking from the
same campaign platform?
The public is certainly worthy OF
candid treatment in a matter of this
kind.
There should be no cloaking of the
facts in a matter involving such seri-
Gus issues.

STRANGE ACTION OF
BOER GENERALS
Decline to Seek Presentation to EN-
peror William Through the
British Ambassador.

BERLIN, Oct. st developed to-
a Geographic message to seek presen-
tation to Emperor William through
the British ambassador, and the fact
has produced an extraordinary commo-
No later than last Monday the for
eign office received message from the
generals announcing that they had not
the slightest objection to applying for
an interview through British govern
ment channels, and it was even under
stood here that the government of
Great Britain was willing to counte-
nance the interview.
Whether that is true or not, the Pan
German committee in charge of the
Boer reception was confident the gen.
erals would come with proper creden-
tails and hence have an opportunity for
an audience Then on Wednesday
came dispatch saying the generals
were determined not to apply to the
British government, but would leave
the emperor to summon them himself.
This, of course, would have put his
majesty in direct opposition to Great
Britain and the announcement imme-
diately followed that the proposed in
terview would not take place.
The press today attacks the Boer
generals in the style which it has here
tofore reserved for Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain. Various explanations
crix Of Ia he
reception committee is advised that
the generals intend to come here as
though nothing had happened and any
anti British demonstrate ton now will
certainly be stopped by the police, as
official circles are very much annoyed
at the Beers behavior.

ALLISON ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Senator Even Goes So Far as to Elk
press an Opinion.

MASON CITY, Iowa, Oct. 9.-Sen-
ator Allison spoke here tonight, inau-
gurating the Republican campaign.
He said:
81 might give many illustrations of
how insignificant a part the tariff
plays as respects great combinations
of capital, and how puerile is the rem
edy proposed for the destruction of all
trusts by placing trust-made articles
on the free list. I think it may be said
truthfully that more of the trusts
would be benefited by the removal of
the traiff than would be injured, and
when injured, to endure the injury
more easily than their competitors,
who would be practically destroyed.
The cure of the trust evil is of far deep
er significance and requires more po-
tential remedies. That they will be
found I do not doubt. That the evils
are recognized by all, we know; but
whatever we do, let us not saddle upon
our people quack remedies, having
their origin in conceptions of free
trade"
