DID TEDDY Do IT2
SOME SAY HE SNUBBED
BLEEDING KANSAN.
Senator Burton Who Dared to Oppose
The Administration Said to Have
Been the Victim.

Washington correspondents say that
President Roosevelt snubbed Senator
Burton of Kansas the other day, and in
the presence of a committee of citizens
of that state refused to accept the
senator's proffered hand. This was on
account of the speech the senator made
against the administration on the re-
CiprocIty question in the conference of
Senate republicans last week. Here is
the story:
Senator Burton introduced the Kan
sans to the president, and one of them
formally requested the president to at
tend the 80 anniversary of the admis-
sion Of Kansas to statehood. The pre-
sident replied, saying he would take
the invitation under considerations
Then as the KanSanS were about to
leave the White House the president
shook hands with each in turn until he
came to Senator Burton. The senator
had extended his hand but the presl-
dent, after giving him a hard look
turned and walked away. Senator
Burton was deeply embarrassed by the
presidents snub and the other Kan
sans were astounded at the incident.
The president his friends say, is angry
toward Senator Burton. Senator Bur-
ton had been informed, it is said that
he need not look for any patronage
favors from the White House, as none
of the men he had recommended for
public Office would be appointed by the
president.
Let us hope that undue color has
been given to the incident. The sys-
tenn of rewards and punishments issu-
ing from the White House was not so
thoroughly administered by Mr.. RoOse-
velt's predecessor, nor do the hard
look" and the rejected hand appear to
be altogether necessary or entirely eff
fectve of good results when employed
upon so public an occasion. Tact Is
often better than the club, albeit the
club will only avail at times. But to
add to the marked personal rebuff the
threat of no patronage-that is not a
pleasant spectacle. Very likely the
gossips in Washington have got j!

A BANANA BOOM IN ENGLAND.

A fruit that has never yet come pro-
perry into its own is the banana. such
at least is the opinion of vegetarian,
not a few of whom justify the faith
that is in them by living altogether on
banana products; and even less heroic
martyrs are beginning to think that
the banana will prove the most persu-
asiVe weapon of conversion in the veg
etarian armory. Already there has ab-
peared in the midlands an enthusiast
just fresh from South America, with
an unheard of collection of banana
recipes; and If all goes well with the
propaganda we may expect to be TAX
ing within a few years for breakfast
plain bananas, banana pancakes, ba-
mana mullins and banana coffee; for
luncheon banana fritters, banana
bread banana biscuits and banana
cake and for dinner, banana waters,
banana figs and a small cup of banana
coffee.
Appropos of bananas, there is a cos
ter's club in a quiet street off the Erg-
ware road which was formerly devoted
to innocent recreation. But the spirit
of utilitarianism has prevailed over
the desire for social enjoyment, and the
premises has now become a forcing
house for West Indian bananas. The
bananas are consigned direct to the
club, thus saving the middleman's pro-
fits, and every room is filled with great
punches of the fruit, ripening under
gentle heat for the public palate. The
members OF the club can select their
own punches and pay for them as they
sell them, so that an initial capital is
not required, on a good day, when a
cart-load of these bananas, a coster
can clear a net profit of-but perhaps
it will be more discreet to keep the fig
ures dark. The COster's, like all other
callings, already suffers from over
