NO EARLY SESSION
MANY OBJECTIONS TO OCTOBER
MEETING.
After Consultation With Many
Members of Both Houses of Con-
gress President Decides Extra
Session Will Be Called to Meet
November \.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 14.-After
mature consideration and consultation
in person and by mail with members
of both senate and house of representa-
tives, President Roosevelt has abandon
ed the suggestion that congress be called
in extraordinary session in October.
The extraordinary session which he
announced several months ago would
be held this fall will be called, accord
ing to present plans, to meet on No
vember 8.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
suggestion OF an October session OF con-
gress came from parties who advocated
its adoption, the suggestion was not re-
ceived with favor by members of con-
gress generally. The idea of an Octo-
Der session was opposed because il
would oblige senators and representa-
tives to leave their states and districts
in the midst of a campaign, which to
many of them and to their party was OF
vital importance.
No agreement has yet been reached
as to the character of the financial leg.
islation which will be enacted at the
next session. 1t is not certain that an
agreement can be reached between the
two branches of conrgess whereby any
special legislation can be enacted.

Darkie's Crime.

per at the speaker-Mary, the house
maid-with a weary sigh. The life Of
a doctor is not, to use timeworn and
perhaps vulgar aphorism, "all beer and
skittles," and certainly mine on that
day had not been. Sickness was very
prevalent in Colbourne, and the Ills Of
four thousand inhabitants were In the
hands Of two doctors. Besides, there
had been an outbreak of smallpox
among the navvies engaged In cutting
new railway to join the Colbourne
terminus, and Of late we had had our
hands full. Evidently my desire for a
quiet evening was now destroyed.
Did the person send in her name"
l inquired.
mo, sir; she said I was to look
sharp and ask you to come at once
she repeated, at once sir; and, oh,
there was an awful look In her eyes"
l rose and went to the surgery, and
there found young woman. She did
not reply to my greeting, but at once
plunged into the object of her mission.

with an accident on cutting of the

TO OPPOSE ROOSEVELT.
British Organized Labor Plans to
Help in Campaign.

London, Sept. 14.-Organized labor
in Great Britain is quietly developing a
scheme by which a number of its repre-.
sentatives will proceed to America soon
to discuss with labor leaders there Il
plan for opposing President Roosevelt
at the next presidential election. The
Amalgamated Society of Bookbinders
is specially active in getting together
the new delegation as protest against
the action of the president in his rela-
tions with the bookbinders' union in
the government offices in the United
States.
The union men have strong footing
in the government offices here, and it
is understood to be their intention to
amalgamate with the organized men in
America if such an arrangement can be
found practicable. If general cleo
tion here is not probable this side of
Christmas, the delegates will be ready
t go to America about the middle of
October.

home on a stretcher in bad way"
II will be with your husband in a
few minutes" l replied, seeing that
the nature Of the case deman ded my
instant attention.
The woman left me, and procuring
what | thought necessary, l hurried to
the squalid yard in which Bill Cross
land lived. Colbourne, like many other
small towns, had slums almost as bad
as some of those which we are told ex-
list in the East End Of London, where
fevers and other pestilences thrive like
weeds in an i'll kept garden. The
houses in this yard We're rickety. and
some Of them filthy and abominable.
l found the injured man lying OH
sofa, which had been improvised into
a bed. An old woman was attending
to his wants, and by the fireplace an
elderly mana navvy-stood. AS
approached the bed he left the house.
My patient was strong, lusty looking
fellow, with an almost negro complex
ion, crisp black hair and mustache.
l speedily examined his injuries, and
found them of serious nature. His
ribs had been severely crushed, and n
portion Of one had penetrated lung
But he bore up with wonderful cour-
age, and scarcely emitted groan
when l handled him. Having done
everything possible for his comfort, l
prepared to leave the house, at the
same time reckoning his wife to fol-
low me, with the idea Of warning her
Of the danger her husband was In. The
called me.
Doctor" he said family, there's
one thing l want to know. Now tell
me-am l done for?"
The question was so pointedly put
that it quite upset my equilibrium. l
began to hesitate in my evasive an
swer to him, but he quickly stopped
me.
Don't be afraid O. tellin' me-" he
said roughly. "Bill Grassland amt a
coward-he's stood worse than this
he's cheated the hangman O. his moose,
u
death now"
1 wondered at this allusion to the
"hangman's noose," but tried to re-
monstrate with him, telling him 1t was
necessary that he should be quiet, and
not talk.
"Look here, DOCTOR" he replied In a
more determined tone, I'm a-going to
hear the truth from you afore you go.
I'll have 1t out O. you or III limb it out,
l will" and his black eyes cleaned
like burning Goals.
Again l demonstrated with him, but
he would not heed me, and at last his
wife interfered.
you can tell Bill anythin', SIR" she
said. Let him know If he's got to
pass in his checks, and maybe he'll
prepare for it. It's none too good a
life he's lived" and she jerked her
thumb over her shoulder at the recum.
bent figure.

WOMAN.

She said: "What is there that would
not be
For your dear sake? What change of
mind or heart
Would ! not make in any, every part.
If love but say, This he desires of theeY
Zen as the white moon rules the restless
sea
And draws its tides to answer her
sweet will,
So does your slightest wish arouse and
thrill
And make obedience an ecstasy"
Oh foolish heart of woman! Even so
They make of man master, not a
mate,
And lessen love by loving; soon or late
A monarch wearies of his worship. Lo,
This only is great love when two can
be
Both proud and humble in equality.

rHE eoon ROADS lnEA.

What is ordinarily the wettest sea
son of the year in Oklahoma is here
and the good roads idea ought to
grow, thrive and expand during the
next three months The leayen of
road improvement seems to be work
Ing in all parts of the United States.
An eastern man who has recently talk
en- trip through Texas says the en-
thasiasm with which the people have
taken up the good roads idea" is
wonderful. In some .eopaties they are
in danger OF going wsld" on the sub
ject, Funds are being raised mainly
asy issse OF county bonds
Another observing person says that
in Pennsylvania the state aid idea has
taken firm hold. The plan just adop
is for the state. the county and the
township to cooperate in the work of
building and improving the roads The
state is to pay two-thirds OF the ex-
pense and the county and township in
which the work is done each one-sixth
OF the expense. The state has made
available for this purpose s6,5O0O 600
to be expended during the next few
years.
The principle involved u. the state
aid plan is exactly the same as that
involved in the scheme for national
aid. which has developed such popu.
larity recently. The fundamental idea
OF both is as set forth by General
Miles at ST. Louis. that read improve
ment is not merely a matter Of local
interest and responsibility. but mat
ter OF interest and concern TO the
whole people; or. 10 put Il another
way, road building is coming TO be
viewed as species Of internal inn
provement" belonging IN the same
class as river and harbor improve

Some Of the results Of DR.. Mitchelrs
Investigations are interesting He
maintains that persons afflicted with
cat fear frequently experience faint

: We hardly think that DR. Mitchell

There are many persons with whom
the fear OF cats amounts almost to a
morbid condition We dc not believe
howe+cr. that the "cat fear" should be
classed as a specihc disease, but rath-
er symptom Of a generally hysteric
