MUCH sPLENDoR.

But for all that, Washington witnessed this New Year at the White House more Of spiendor in the appointments and ha- before. Without any special effort or ap- parent purpose, the President more than ever perhaps in our past lent the impress sion of actual rulership. Mir. Roosevelt was not afraid to appear in the role of ruler which the Constitution imposes up- on him.
 About him were all the trappings, all the appearances of the power the law re- poses In him. When the precise moment the diplomatic corps. the ambassadors and ministers accredited near his gov ernment he was waited upon by five army officers who are attached to his of- ficial household. and he advanced to the main reception hall to the strains of one of the various national songs each of which some of us sometimes hotly insist is 'the American national anthem" for getful in every instance that our country is the only land in Christendom that has no national anthem. Still America" the air of which we appropriated from the English God Save the King" just as the Germans have adapted it to their na- tional hymn. is always stately, always in- spiriting, and 1t was to this noble har- mony that tho President advanced to give his happy. his most cordial New Year greetings to gorgeously uniformed representatives of foreign lands with which we happily retain relations of good will and amity.
 The scene was inspiring. and must have been pleasing to the first American of the time and to every other American present to witness the most imposing public function that probably ever took place in the White House. In simple splendor 1t was worthy of the stateliness of court ceremony in the Old World, and some of us who had been privileged to witness such ceremonies beyond the sea were happy in drawing the happy comparison.

CHILDREN THERE.

In that other day there were no children to be seen by those of us whom the Pres ident received. But on this occasion, amongst the great company who formed the court of the Republic. one was glad dened by the sight of joyous youngsters, the happy boys and girls of the Presiden- tial family, from the exquisitely charm ing daughter of the White House, sud denly grown to be a gracious woman of the great world of society. down to the youngest of this most highly typical of American families, the family of MT. Theodore Roosevelt, the first citizen of the Republic.
 Those children. unrestreined in their New Year joy by the splendor of their surroundings, lent a light to the Presi- dontiai reception that was brighter than all the gold lace, all the pomp and circunl- stance of power, there displayed. More than President were they, more than. the ambassadors and ministers plenipoten- tiary. more than admirals or generals more than judges or senators or represen- tatives-more than any or all of these wore those wide-eyed, wondering, laugh ing children in the White House on this New Years Day.

Wealth Not Hurt by Sarcasm.

1t is stated that Paul Du Chaillu left
an estate of only $500. which was about
the amount of Bret Harte's fortune at
death. Both left something more val
liable than money, the memory of great
work finely done and of kindly natures
which were appreciated in their life
time. AS an icopoclast in the current
Literary World says
1T seems impossible for clever people
to make money; smart people make it,
vulgar people make it; bootblacks,
-newsboys and the self-educated, gen
orally, seem to have this curious ca
pactiy-a capacity wholly unallied to
others seemingly. Think a minute of
the people you personally know, if you
know any, who have made money;
don't you despise them, don't you look
down on them; don't you wonder how
So-and-So, who apparently doesn't
know enough to go in out of the rain,
ever knew enough to accumulate, at his
early age, even so paltry a sum as
100000? l do
All of which is only partially true,
like most iconoclaStic sayings. But it
comforts the geniuses who have not
succeeded in heaping up dollars; and
the rich men are not hurt by the sar-
casm. They think it is honor enough
to have the dollars. And so it is-for
them.-Boston Pilot.
