Miss Roosevelt Now Rides Astride.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt has discarded the side
saddle and conventional riding habit
and now rides in divided skirts.
The announcement that Miss
Roosevelt was receiving instructions

teaching Miss Roosevelt how to sit
on q horse in the more rational

When Cuba was compelled to ac'

1t was provided that the island

1t would be impossible for this
country to tolerate the abuse oiCuba

For this reason we have naval sta.

For this reason certain limitations

cial policy.
These interests have been increased
by the Spanish war; and the 18TH
milan canal will further them.
Cuba has made greas progress since
her independence was established.
Cuba now stands high among her

We must not force Cuba TO make

ONLY WORKING GIRLS

A deplorable and heart rending &C,
cident occurred on the 18th street
incline cab 3 road in Kansas City last
week, In which one young girl lost
her lie and q number OF Others were
badly -hurt- It-was early in she
morning when the girls who have to
WORK for a living we're on their way
to their different places OF employ
ment. At a newspaper Office down
town, In the crowd anxiously scan
ming the bulletins for news OF the &C
cident and names OF the victims, was
a man who was very much interested
until the names appeared, when he
said, with a sigh oireliei, "oh, its only
working girls" To the credit OF
American manhood a sturdy young
stockman rebuked this unieathered
biped, this thing made in the image
of man, but utterly devoid of manly
Instincts, and but for the cowardly
nature of the whelp, might have ad
ministered corporal punishment.
l"Only working girls" the queens OF
womanhood, the hopes OF posterity
Independent, sef-reliant, honest,
courageous; they are far above the
plane OF the idle, shiftless, spend
thrift butterflies OF society whose
greatest ambition in life is to firt,
dance and have a good time. The
working girl, like the working boy,
need care nothing for the jibes and
sneers OF the idlers and drones, for
they are a factor in the busy world,
and experience joys in keeping mind
and body busy, which can never be
experienced by the non, producing
class. The poor fool who says, even
in his heart, "only working girls, is
deserving of pity and contempt"

ballot OF seven to convict and Ave DO
acquit.

the guilt Of The defendant, but they
did not wish to convict him on the
testimony OF John A. Lee. Those

free Fsrris are: Peter Tsui, Ben
Pringer, Jim Clark and Ben Lockett.
The men declared that Lees con-
iessi'n OF sell determination and hi.
contradictory statements on the wit

The Kaiser Suffers
Little From Operation

New York, Nov. S.-Iniormation
contained in private dispatch re-
ceived here shows that the operation
on Emperor William is similar to the
first one performed on his father and
consequently causes concern to his
household. The official statement
issued by the surgeons fail to re.
assure, because it is well understood
that for reasons ofstate the Emperor
would be given the benefit OF any
doubt as to the true character OF his
disease.
1t is recalled that the surgeons at
that time made nothing OF the first
operation on Emperor Frederick
There is anxiety because both En-
peror William 8 father and mother
died of cancer and his grandmother,
Augusta, also, was so afflicted. The
emperor's aunt, the grand duchess
of Baden, as is well known In Ger.
many, is suffering from the same
malady.
1t will take months to decide
whether the fears now entertained are
unfounded. At present the whole
weight Of scientific authority which
is in attendance upon the Emperor
affirms that he has not cancer.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsion themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
lphites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
