Senator Hansbrough Pushing

senator HansbrOuGh Pushing His
Reciprocity Advocacy.
From The Journal Bureau, Room Is, Post
B"itdi"g, RashinDton.
Washington, April 2.-There is not a
more pronounced advocate of reciprocity
In the senate than Mr.. Hansbrough OF
North Dakota. He is keenly alive to its
possibilities, and purposes to do all that
he can to forward it's interests. 1t is his
theory that the United States should first
make reciprocity arrangements with the
countries on this side the Atlantic. This
done, he thinks the next step will be to
look after Europe. After Cuba has been
attended to, it is Mr.. Hansbrough's idea
that Canada should be taken in hand He
says:
The people Of the United States have much
in common with their Canadian neighbors,
and the day is rapidly coming when the in
terests on both sides the line will demand
closer trade relation than has thus far
existed. | shall do all that | can to hasten
the time when the senate will be ready to
take hold Of the Canadian question In ear
nest.
Senator Hansbroughs interview regard
Ing Cuba, published in T h Journ
of last Thursday, has attracted attention
in Washington. The views there advanced
are startling and entirely new-that the
United States, should it neglect It's pres
ent opportunity, will eventually have to
deal with the other nations which will
be quick to do that which we are SO re-
luctant to do, apparently.

CHANGE TO "BRACE UP"
FORTUNE FOR ENGLISH yAGRANT
Acquired the Drink Habit While
Prospecting for Coal in
Wyoming. a-.

Special to The Journal.
San Francisco, April Am educated
Engl1shnan, who has served time on the
charge Of yagrancy in the city prisons,
has just been released. His is one of the
most unusual cases that is known to po-
lice circles, for the reason that he is
well connected in England and was grad
uated from St. Johns, Cambridge
He came to the ives. about seven years
ago and joined party Of prospectors for
coal, near Caspar, Wyo. At that place he
was badly frostbitten while out with the
party, and he dates his subsequent
troubles from that date He drank
heavily in his endoavor to regain his
wonted health, the habit grew on him
and finally be became slave to drink
For the past two years he has been ar
rested frequently and locked uo, but on
regaining his liberty has always drifted
back to his old habits.
A few days ago a letter was received
by Robert Murray, for two years a va
grant, stating that relative had died in
England leaving him $4,000, and contain
ing remittance sufficient to pay his eX-
penses home.
While he frequently said to the authori-
ties that he was we'll connected in Eng
land ard the evidence of education
seemed 20 corroborate his claim, yet he
declined to give any clue to his relatives
In spite of his desperate circumstances
he appeared to have pride enough left tc
protect his family from a knowledge Of
the true state of his affairs. So with the
alcohol out Of his system, proper clothing
and money in his purse, Robert Murray
has the chance to once more make a start
in life under better prospects than he has
met since coming to this country.

Office authorities had sent 1t. This
friend told Roy's father. and the next
day Roy called for his letter. To his
great surprise and immense pleasure he
found the letter to read as follows:
philadelphia, June Il, 1902.
"In appreciation of your patriotism
and devotion, on behalf of the special
committee having in charge the Liberty
Bell | take pleasure In iDclosing you
herewith small souvenir OF the visit.
with best wishes for your success
in life, beg to remain
Very truly yours.
WILSON H. BROWN.
Chairman.
Master Roy L. Sexton.
Washington. d. C.
"a pupil OF the public schools who
placed 126 daisies on the Liberty Bell"
Besides the letter there was a beauti-
full gold medal, little larger than
gold dollar. On one side was the old
State House where the bell hung, and
the words Liberty Bell. 1776." The
medal was suspended from a blue silk
ribbon attached TO a pin with red,
white and blue head.
Never was boy prouder of his first
pair of trousers than Roy is Of this
medal and letter, and he has given his
father serious instructions about their
preservation.
Roy comes naturally by his intense
patriotism. The ancestors of both pa
rents have been patriots-those far back
serving in the Revolutionary armies and
later ones In the Union armies during
the civil war. Roy is a strong Repub-
lican, and intends. he says, always to
vote the straight Republican ticket. He
is also going to be a lawyer when he
grows up, and his parents propose to aid
him in his plans by seeing to 1t that
he receives a good education. Roy is
very proud Of his school and has an ex-
cellent record. He walks about mile
to school, and is never absent nor tardy.

much like the sun flowers OF his native
State, for Roy Is Kansan by birth.
Out OF this abundance he selected only
the choicest until he had 1876. These
he formed into n huge bouquet.
On the morning of the BELLS arrival
in Washington Roy was early astir and
anxious TO lay his tribute on the bell
that rang out freedom in 1916. The long
ride from Langdon 10 the station did
not dampen his ardor nor did the neces-
sty of pushing his way through the
dense crowd OF people. young and old.
cause him to surrender his purpose.
Il had a terrible time in getting to the
bell with my daisies" he said. 'I was
afraid they would all get mashed up and
broken. But l took good care OF them
and part of the time held them away
up over my head. At last we got
to the bell and | handed the daisies TO
big Philadelphia policeman who was
standing there and asked him to put
them on the bell. He took them and
put them under the bell where all the

have seen it. He took off the card !
wrote my name on and put that in his
pocket. and that made me feel pretty
bad because | thought nobody would
ever know who gave the l26 daisies
But | guess he must have told them
in Philadelphia. See my medal"
And then he showed his medal with
most evident and most commendable
pride. And this is the way the medal
came: Roy was right. The policeman
did tell them about 1t in Philadelphia.
and soon after the bell got home there
arrived letter in Washington address,
ed in this wise:
