the president, who spoke OF the
varied interests in Wisconsin. He said
the state had produced much, but the best
things it had produced were decent men
and women, and that is what counts. He
was glad to see in the foreground so many
little boys and girls.
IT believe we are face to face with
great problems" said the president, 'and
that we cannot help playing the part OF
great world power. All we can decide
is whether we can play it we'll or i'll. I do
not want to see us shrinking in the least
bit from our duty. We have got to hold
our own.
The president said he was sorry to see
reflections in the press or elsewhere from
America ON any foreign nation.
II do not believe the United States
should even suffer a wrong," he contin-

sent wrong from the strong, just as

The alternative is to do exactly what
has been done during the life of the con-

endeavor, not to destroy corporations, but
to regulate them with a view Of doing

of making them .subserve the public use.
The law is not to be administered in the

in the interest of the rich man such,

Benjamin Franklin. a lawyer Of Ma
con, Mo. has been recalling some
stories of Henry Clay Dean, a chap
lain of the United States senate be-
fore the war, a curious character
with the picturesque fOrcibleness Of
language of Il pioneer and voice of
extraordinary range. Perhaps this is
one of the most interesting of the
stories: when | started for Charl-
ton county, Missouri, in 1884, to teach
country school near Brunswick,
says Mr. Franklin, Dean voluntarily
gave me a letter Of recommendation
to his friend, Casper w. Bell. noted
citizen. He also offered this advice.

me well: Benjamin, want to say

Joseph Folk, the young district at

day about boodling and the meanness
Of it. said to IA reporter:
There is something small and little
about robbing taxpayers, robbing wild
ows and orphans and all manner Of
poor folk. He is mean man who
commits this crime-as mean man
as one l saw once on a Mississippi
steamer. And he was strangely mean,
that chap. He was travelling with his
daughter. a little girl of or 6. He
was holding her over the rail, so that
she could see a monster catfish, when.
somehow, he let go of her, and she
fell into the deep stream with 3
splash.
"A deck hand was after her in an
instant. Head foremost he shot in,
and she was back in her fathers
arms again before three minutes had
passed. The father was profoundly
grateful to the deck hand. He pulled
out dollar bill.
"Got any change? he said.
"The man had none. SO the father
went hustling nervously here and
there over the boat, waving his dollar
bill and saying:
"'Got any change Got any change?

RETURNED TO AVENGE MURDER.
Spirit of Dead Man Secured Convic-
tion of Assassins

Comte de Fersen the gallant and
devoted adherent of Marie Antoinette,
while passing through Italy called for
horses at the inn of Radicofani. The
landlord refused 20 let him have
horses that night, so he had to sleep
where he was. He left his courier
stretched outside the door when he
retired ard placed a couple of loaded
pistols beside his bed. In the middle
of the night he awoke with the con-
sciousness of another presence in the
room. He saw by the moonlight a
figure dressed as Masons are clad
The figure informed him that he had
been murdered by his wife and that
his body had been placed beneath the
bed upon which the count lay. His
spirit could not rest, he said, until
his murder had been avenged. The
count promised to see that justice was
done. and the appartion after slip
ping a curious old ring upon his fin
ger, disappeared. The count went at
once to Rome, where he saw the
Swedish minister, Count Lowenjelm.
Lowenjelm Immediately recognized
the ring upon De Fersen's finger as
oIe worn by the peasants in the Rad
icofani district, and. upon hearing the
story. gathered military and police
and went with his informant back to
the inn. They moved the bed and
found that the flags had been recent
ly upturned. They took these up and
there found the body of the Mason,
dressed just as he had appeared to
the count. The innkeeper and his
wife, seeing the evidence against
them confessed their crime and were
taken to Rome, tried, convicted and
executed.

And do your best to tell the truth when

Cause there's no use kicking If the fish
refuse to bite.
