A LETTER Of President Roosevelt's,
heretofore published, which appears
in the November Review of Reviews,
is likely to set politicians in more
than one State to guessing. The let
ter, from which, in the printed copy,
all names have been omitted, is adj
dressed to a certain Congressman
who had visited the President in the
interest of well-known man prom
lnent in state politics but not in
government employ, who was in
danger of Indictment on account of
his relations to certain postal con-
tracts. The letter is couched in the
plainest Of Ro0seveltian English
and makes it very clear that no APP
peal to the President in cases of this
kind on the score of personal or par
ty interest will have the slightest eff
feet.

Carl Anderson, our shoemaker,

ly correct. The passion for dress on
the part Of woman has been noted
for centuries. 1t is a difficult matter
to correct; in fact, OF late years, there
has been no effort. AS the sex broad
ems its field Of interests and enthusi-
asms, this Weakness should abate.
Neatness and taste are qualities to
retain. But the Oshkosh preacher
has IN mind what all observe, that
most women give disproportionate
amount Of their time, their CONVEX.
sation, their energy, to cutting dis
tinctive figure in the way OF dress.
Indeed, some Of tho play is obvious
ly extreme and sensational. 1t is
well to have the attention of the sex
called to this matter. 1t does little
good. Even among the Quakers, the
gay ribbon and the trim effect inevi-
tably crop out. However our duty is
done.

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison. Kan, Daily Globe,l
This X the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neigh
borhood. One of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awakened
in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children.
There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known rs hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better, and does
not cost so much. 1t causes the pa
tient to throw up the phlegm
quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon rs
the croupy cough appears. 1t never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take.

weigh on the heart far less than doc

Judge Murphy Comes to st. Louis
at an Important Point in His
Career and VIII Work Hard to
Make the Racing Rebound to His
Credit.

Joseph D. Sippy's running meeting be-
gins at Kinloch this afternoon. 1t is said
that Mr.. Sippy is closely allied to the great
racing Dreibund-Adler, Celia and TILES
Be that as It may. Mr.. Sippy is himself
man of parts and ability, upright. reliable
and one who will not permit unfair deal
Eng. He has selected men of unimpeachable
character and great ability to act as racing
officials. Judge Murphy, Starter Dade and
Handicapped Maginn have no superiors in
their positions
Mr.. Sippy has an excellent mile course
to run races on. 1t is a true race track
splendid soil. excellent grades, easy turns
and long stretches. Kinloch has always
been a good place for bettors. The opening
day sees an excellent card.
UP TO JUDGE MURPHY.
It Is now Up to Judge Murphy of St
Louis. leading racing judge, who Is in
line. for promotion to Eastern honors, to
make the meeting a gala one. Coming after
meeting which has been a very hard one
on players. kinloch has a great chance to
make a hit with the betting public. 1t
made hit last year, coming after two
weeks Of winning favorites at Delmar. 1t
should make a much bigger hit this year.
e Mr.. Murphy will not find things running
easily. He has not much time to get the
hang OF them. He must begin right away.
the last two weeks racing at Delmar gave
indications of much business in the jockey
room. Mr.. Murphy will find Troxler. Shee-
han, Booker, Hall, Smith and Higgins pref

be. To Sheehan's credit be It said that he

twenty-five pounds the best in the second
race, but Shilling was no more good to her
than sack of salt would have been. He
could not help her in the stretch run. So
Dottie Shute and Stub beat her. The right
horses were in the money.
The third race went to BrancaS at { TO ~

awhile. He had run winning race in mud

Steady little Kilo, with his liking for

and the long run home will suit the colt.

all go fast but Kilo should come from be-
hind and get them II d. Austin does not

INFECTIOUS IN SECOND.
Impetuous looks like 1-to-2 shot in the
second race. Howell had her in fourth place

got her thrown down and beaten. Beating

JORDAN IN HANDICAP.
Jordan. Joe Lesser. Orris and Light Opera
look like the ccntenders in the fourth race.
Jordan is real good now. The track will
be made for him. Lesser can beat Jordan
when he is Lesser. but he may not be quite
keyed up to race. He tired badly last
time ont at six furlonss and that was on
