Beveridse Rides Some, Too.

Washington Letter.
President Roosevelt dearly loves day
like this, which has been cold, raw, half
seet. half rain. He likes to go horse
back riding in such weather. With a
sure-footed beast under him, his soft hat
pulled down over his eyes and his coat
buttoned around his collar, he goes splash
ing over the half-frozen country roads,
seemed to take delight in battling with the
elements.
The other day Senator Beverage called
upon the President just about the time
for the afternoon ride. They were talking
horseback riding and Senator Beverage re-
marked that he had not had ride for
some time, although he very fond of
it. The President said he would supply
the senator with a nag il he wanted to
go. but did not have riding outfit to
loan him. The senator said he would go
as he stood. and eff they started. The
President was i'm semi-Rough Rider cos
tune and the senator, dapper and trim,
wore high silk hat and a frock coat.
The employees around the door grnned as
the pair started away and prophesied some
ruffled senatorial dignity before they got
back. But the young Indianian stuck
to his chief and came cantering back up
the White House driveway with the nap
still smooth on his beaver hat and appar-
emily not bit jolted by his ride.

died only a short time ago. The story OF
his life is rather interesting. He went to-
China when he was a young man. He
learned the language OF the country, anc
became an accomplished Chinese scholart
He adapted himself to the ways and habits
of those among whom he had cast his lott
and thus became to all intents and purposes

the greater part of his life in China, he
made up his mind that he would pass the
remainder of his days in the land of his
birth. among the scenes of his childhood.
Accordingly, he left China. with no inten-
ton of returning. But he reckoned without
his host. No. sooner had he found himself
in New York than the noise and hustle or
the metropolis of the new world drove him
TO distraction. He did not know which way

the earliest opportunity to go back TO Chi

school say the opposition is made up
largely of teachers who favor an increase
of the State school levy in order that there
may be more money for the compensation
of teachers. and who also fear that a con-

would interfere with an increase of the
fund raised to pay teachers.

THE OLD AND THE NEW YEAR.

The year which ended yesterday will long
able in the history of the country. At a
time when industry and business i'm the
leading countries of Europe were almost
stagnant they were intensely active in
this country. In spite of labor troubles and
rumors of even greater troubles the indus
eral a condition of activity as during the
year 1902 The great anthracite strike,
making 10000 men idle for months, did not
noticeably impede the progress of the in
dustries of the Nation. 1t will be remem-
bered as one of the years in which the de-
mand for skilled labor the country over
was up to If not i'm excess of the supply.
The same has been true of common labor
in less degree. If any one had predicted
In 1896 that in six years industrial enter
prises in this country would be impeded be-
cause of a lack of skilled labor the man
making such prediction would have been
regarded as of unsound mind. The year
closed without any indication of letting
down in the wonderful industrial activity.
Very naturally. year of such general in
demand for staples was so great that there
was a scarcity in few articles. meat and
coal in particular. All the people had
money with which to purchase, which made
a condition that few have ever taken into
consideration, namely. the enormous con-

when they have the means necessary to
make them consumers. In spite of minor
annoyances the year just ended has been
the best that the people of this State ever
experienced from material point of obser-
walton.
The impatient reformer as he looks back
over the year, is disposed to declare that
little progress has been made toward the
higher civilization. He is, in his own esti-
nation, SO large a factor, and his plans are
so complete and essential, that he cannot
compose himself sufficiently to perceive
that the purposes of the Ruler of the Uni
verse are vast and that His methods of de-
| velopment are those of a Being to whom a
thousand years are as one day. Out of the
| turmoil of the conflict between labor and

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Press.
In rebuilding the White House the archi-
tects did not forget the ''postern STAIR" In
the old world all first-class palaces have a
secret passageway leading TO side gate
out OF the gardens. The old White. House
was sadly deficient In this respect. There
was way I'm and one way out, and that
was by the big front door. And on the
porch, or next to the Tiffany screen, or in
the ante-chamber, there were foregathered
the myrmidons of the press. ready to swoop
on the luckless statesman and shake him
down for information.
Some interviews are pleasant and serve
the ends of the statesman; others are less
so. Often public men bewailed the fact
that they had to run the gauntlet of pub
licity. many of them preferring the ways OF
secrecy They longed for little back door
and postern stair by which they might
evade the watchdogs in front.
And so IL happened that In building the
new White House lovely kennel has been
provided for the watchdogs. room with a
window commanding the road. the path
and the front door of the office section.
Here is a beautiful table for the reporters.

to compel the interurban roads to carry
