ANOTHER
CRANK IN
The TOLLS

WASHINGTON. Oct. Another
crank tried to get at the President this
morning He appeared at the north
entrance OF the White House and was
admitted by the doorkeeper After be
ing questioned he was turned over to
the police. The officials are reticent
about the affair, feeling that the ad-
ditional notoriety along this line may
result in more undesirable callers.
o
The cranks name is John Decker,
of Norwich. Conn. He sneaked in
through the front door and when
stopped by the guard merely said he
wanted to see Roosevelt He was I'M
armed. and made no trouble, but was
turned over to the police. His general
behavior indicates he is mentally un-
balanced. His age Is about "A years
Under orders from Secretary Loeb, no
further details were given out.
o
The incident following so closely
on the Elliott affair created no little
excitement. The comment was caus-
ed by the fact that Decker got clear
through the front door of the White
House before he was stopped 1t is
understood that Decker wanted to in
teryiew Roosevelt ON some money
claims.

Letter to Rev. John Hardeastle,
Mineral Point. Wis.

Dear Sir In making your pastoral
visits, OF course, you do not consider
your pleasure or comfort or ease.
You SO where your people live, But
you have two sets of feelings in going
a6outS-oant help tive all haveI
But you especially have; for part
of your business is sympathy, Well
kept lawns and well.tllled fields, uice
homes and nice people, aro cheerful
to you, as they are TO everyone.
Tumb.e-down buildings, poor fences,
men harrassed by burdens too heavy
tor them, overworked women and
dirty.taeed children, you may be
strong to get on with; but you would
be more shan human to find iuspira-
tion IN misery,
Paint divides the two sorts OF peo-
pie; ono paints and the other don't.
Or, perhaps, the thrifty paint we'll; the
unthrifty paint Ill,
To paint we'll IL To keep paint
sound, There are two ways 10 do II:
one is bound 80 paint often; the other
To use good paint
1t costs about half as much To paint
Devoe as to paint lead and oil; for
nevoe lasts twice as long and costs
no moro indeed 1t costs less, but not
much less,
Tho thrifty and comfortable have
the art o { using money more wisely.
How lucky they are, how happy.
Yours truly,
