PRINCE HENRY's RECEPTION.

The reception accorded Prince Henry
of Germany by our countrymen has
been pleasurable one to him and
must be gratifying to the German ma
ton and its ruler. Coming as rep
resentative of q great empire and its
leader he has been extended cordial
greeting and in spirit of good-fellow
ship that ought to characterize the
exist between great nations. AS citi-
gems of a great republic we base our
recognition of people upon manhood.
and it is in no fawning spirit toward
royalty that Prince Henry is greeted.
There can be no "fiunkeyism" where
this attitude is properly observed.
The princes reception in Washing
ton was planned to suit this view. AS
far as could be done with propriety, it
had been arranged to avoid undue os-
tentation. The prince received cor
dial greeting from President Roosevelt,
to whom he bore pleasant message
from Emperor William. Every pre-
caution had been taken to insure the
visitors personal safety and to make
his stay agreeable while in the nation
al capital.
His visit to the west will be pleasur
able and many German-Americans will
be foremost in giving Him a cordial
greeting.
Prince Henry will have every OPP
portunity to be impressed with the
greatness of our country and the
courtesy of its people, and he ought
to be able to go back with profound
respect for its power and standing
among the nations of the world.

James Whitcomb Riley's Memories Of
His Childhood.

| James Whitcomb Riley tells in the
indianapolis News of his boyhood. He
says:
'"I recollect distinctly when l was a
small boy. and from choice spent much
Of my time in the kitchen rolling dough
and making miniature pies. After a
while, thru the obliging assistance OF
the hired girl. / advanced so that
could build pie of legitimate size. My
| 10y was complete when l actually fash
toned custard pie, and then came the
feat, worthy of a sleight of hand per-
former, of getting 1t into the oven
without spilling. You may gather from
this that my first ambition was to be a
baker, and at times have felt twinge
of disappointment that my juvenile
ambition was not realized. l really
think would have been a success as a
baker.
Where did / go to school? I was
not success in attending school. I
| had somewhat of a record for running
away from school. and I succeeded in
but one study in distinguishing myself
above my fellows. That was reading
McGuffy's readers, which gave me my
first delights of literature. I was a SEN
sitive child, but no one ever thought
me so, and / received no consideration
on that account, and managed to be in
hot water most of the time. AT school
| il l read anything pathetic, like Dick
ems death of little Nell. while had the
best lesson, / would spoil it by too
much weeping. If l was whipped by
the teacher-we called it licked in
h. a
eyes | would receive parental fiogging
because the teacher had licked me.
Consequently l have superabundance
of sympathy for children.
children in the country and in small
towns have a self-reiance and power
of invention, and adaptation of the re-
sources of their surroundings that
often make them stronger intellectual
ly than city-bred children. They have
few paid-for amusements, and all the
fewer because of lack of money to pay
for them. So they are thrown upon
their own resources to furnish amuse-
ments for themselves. / have walked
four miles in the country to where 1
knew there was whirling jenny. A
whirling jenny is made by saving off
sapling about four feet from the
ground. The core of the tree is left
sticking up to form peg. and a hole
to fit the peg is bored in the middle of
q long and heavy plank. This plank is
placed across the stump, a boy running
at each end of the plank, and away
they go; it takes repeated doses of soap
grease to make the jenny get around
with the desired speed
when 1 was boy there were few
feuds between town boys and country
boys. and when they exchanged visits
each could introduce the other to diff
ferent series of delights, I do not sup
pose there are many boys today who
have, as In my time, scrambled eggs
and cooked them on brown paper atop
Of the stove in the old school house. /

SECRETARY LONG WILL RETIRE.

Secretary J. D. Long, of the navy
department. will retire from his cab
met position In the near future. Ho
has been anxious to withdraw for
some time. but concluded to remain
while the Schley controversy was
pending in order to show that he was
not going out on that account. Now
It is stated he will retire to private
life soon after rounding out term
of six years at the head of the navy
department. His friends have been
aware ever since the Schley court of
inquiry announced its decision vim
dicating the attitude of the depart
ment that Secretary Long would re-
new his purpose TO give up mis- official
cares and return to private life well
within a year, and last week the Sec

MISLEADING THE DOCTORS.

It would be Interesting to know how
large percentage of wrongful diagno-
sis there is as a result of the patients or
their friends trying to persuade the
doctors that something else than the
real ailment is troubling them. The
doctors are human and may be imposed
upon or may make an unwarranted
mistake occasionally. A number of in
stances have been cited in Iowa lately
in which smallpox or some other infec-
ton disease was called something else.
Yet in many cases it is doubtless true
that an extraneous thing rather than a
careful examination gives the doctor a
wrong cue. One of the best surgeons
in Minneapolis tells a little story on
himself that illustrates the strong eff
feet an unwarranted presumption may
have on a doctor. A fireman came to
him with a painful swelling on his back,
saying that he had fallen from ladder
at fire some weeks before and had
ever since been troubled with pain in
his back, accompanied by hard swell
ing and that he was sure that he had
hurt his spine The doctor at once was
convinced that the case was a very seri-
GUS one and that he had badly dis
eased backbone to deal with. He was
just getting ready to tell the patient
what long period of treatment he
would have to undergo when he found
out that he was confronted by nothing
worse than an obstinate boil In an
other case man who really did have
very dangerous disease of the backbone
was for long time treated by nerv-
GUS specialist, chiefly because the spe-
cialist was deceived by the patient into
believing that there was something pri-
marfly wrong with his nerves. He was
in nervous condition. but It was
caused by bone trouble. The right
sort of specialist eventually got hold
Of this man and the first one very
gracefully confessed that he had been
deceived.
Other cases could be cited Of q sim
