HE FQ0ESEES VcER THINGS JWnlOW Talks of the Next Campaign. POPS FOR MIR. ROOSEVELT Business Men of the East for
 MT. Cleveland Tennessee Republican Talks of the Possible Nomination of the Ex-
 President and Pays Him
 Some High Compliments.
POPS FOR MIR. ROOSEVELT

Washington, May 19.- Special. )-Rep- resentative Walter P. Brownlow, one of the two Republican members or the House from Tennessee, who Is in Wash ington, says he nas some rather strange accounts of what is going to happen in the next Presidential campaign.
 Tt would not sur 2.ise me-" said he to- day, If the Democrats should nominate Grover Cleveland for the Presidency. The Republicans are sure to nominate Theo- dore Roosevelt. In these two events would it not be a strange spectacle if we should discover that men in the tinan- cial centers who strongly supported Mo- Kinley and Roosevelt in 1900 were clam bring for Clevelands election, while many Popuiists in the West and a great many Democrats who fought so valiantly for Bryan should be found working and vot- ing for the Republican nominee?
 That outcome would not at all be sur- prising to me. think, on the contrary. It would be the natural result of these two nominations.
 Recently" continued Colonel Brown low, T talked with a Populist leader of the West. He has served on the bench and was for some years a member of the House. He told me he would work and vote for Roosevelt next year If the Re- publicans nominated him.
 He said the Populists seemed to be satisfied with Roosevelt's administration; that MT. Roosevelt is personally popular with them and that they are pleased with the Presidents attitude on the trust ques- tion.
 ''That, to my mind, was a straw show Ing which way ths wind is blowing. It cannot be doubted that Mir. Roosevelt is immensely popular throughout the West and l predict that he will carry every Northwestern State, including such silver hotbeds as Idaho, Colorado and Utah. l do not believe there Is the slightest doubt of his nomination. Down in Tennessee the Republicans have no other choice. They are to a man in favor of his selec- tion.
 This Cleveland boom seems to be quite remarkable thing. yet my personal opinion is that the nation owes a debt to the ex-President.
 Tt was he, to a large extent, who was responsible for the suppression of many Vagaries advocated by certain persons which ought to-and l think does-earn for him the gratitude of the nation.
 And still more remarkable fact is shown by the enmity which his own party men have displayed toward him since he left the White House.
 During sessions of the House since his retirement from public life, no name mentioned in the Capital has been the object of such bitter shafts of sarcasm as that of MT. Cleveland
 The Republicans have been practically silent in their expressions of opinion dur ing that time, but Democrats never have lost an opportunity to jump on him. But politics make queer situations, and noth- ing is impossible in it."

Little Margaret had given her dog
the dignified and not-generally be-
slowed upon dogs name Of Stephen.
This being rather difficult for every
day pronunciation, much coaxing and
various tidbits finally induced stephen,
the dignified, to come in answer to
the more intimate and endearing term
"Teevie."
There came sorrowful day when
Teevie could not be found in any OF
his accustomed spots.
That night. before sobbing herself
to sleep, Margaret finished her pray

bring him back"
After repeating this for several
nights, her mother thought she would
save the child's faith from too severe
a strain, so suggested that she stop
praying for Stephens return, but walt
patiently. She imagined time might
efface the idea and leave her little
girl with a faith still implicit. Some
three weeks afterward she sat down to
teach her the next Sundays lesson.

God is our Father" replied the child.
And where is God?" the mother
continued.
The child's face wore a puzzled ex-

"Oh, I know! He's off hunting for

THE DEACON ENTIRELY FoRaor.-A

deacon, over-tempered by the sun

and drove with his grand children to
Centre Creek. While he was not look

jointed fishing rods and tackle under
the seat. Arriving at the creek they

sight Of this fish set him wild. The

deacon pulled it out for her. Then.

Doughnuts Made In Alaska.
One of the most successful New
York business women got the money
to start her enterprise by making
doughnuts at Nome, Alaska, three and
a half years ago. In single summer
season she made $4,000 in her little
tent restaurant. The doughnuts sold
for rs cents apiece with a cup Of coffee
thrown in.
Part of this $4,000 judiciously in
vested formed the nucleus for her pres
ent profitable business Of cleaner and
dyer of women's fine wearing apparel.
She has expert foremen to attend to
the factory part of the work and runs
two shops.

II had learned from an aunt to make
good doughnuts. She was a thorough
New England housewife and set great

In the evening or late in the after

AN AMERICAN NEGRO ON HAYTl.
Tho Grafton on Which an alabama
Coon" Won a Prize at Yale.

William Pickens, the Alabama Negro,
who won the Ten Eyck prize at Yale,
by an essay or Grafton on Hayti, would
get a warm reception in the land OF
Voodoo, for he advocates its absorption
by the United States. His argument
is the familiar one that the Haytiens
are steadily lapsing in barbarism and
cannot be allowed to play the part OF
dog in the manger in the most fertile
island Of the West Indies. Mr.. Pick
ems has been reading Spencer st. John
and James Anthony Froude. He de-
scribes the Negro woman frying ba-
nanas ION the sites Of former palaces
and public dwellings," and says that
"the mines are deserted, the fertile
lands are waste, and the balance OF
political power Is in the hands OF
fetch priests and voodoo worship
pers." With the exception Of a book
by Samuel Hazard, We get most of our
information about the island from
Englishmen, but, shocking as it is, the
picture is probably a true one. st.
John was British minister to Hayti
for many years, and his indictment was
drawn up with deliberation as a sort
Of public duty. He steadfastly assert
ed that the governing powers were
to the theory Of freedom and personal
privy to voodoo practices, which in
cluded cannibalism. Froude was also
disgusted with Hayti, and his matter
of-fact accounts Of life in Port-au-
Prince make repulsive reading. The
curious thing about 1t Is that the
blacker the Haytien's skin the more he
feels his superiority to the white man,
with this qualification, that he despises
a mulatto. There Is warrant, however,
for the Haytien's good opinion Of him
self In the good behavior, dignity and
refinement Of the Negro In Barbados.
There he practices law and medicine,
sitting on the bench and making a fig
ure in the faculty, and the government
and trade he justifies the white mans
confidence. But in Barbados the Ne
gro Is SENSITIVE 10 WHAT lIle die SS-
sayist calls the outside constraining
force" Left to his own devices, to
his own adaptation Of savage instincts,
liberty, he retrogrades, although pas
sionately declaiming his moral worth
and resenting the contemptuous strict
ures Of his white brother.
LAS the case now stands" says Pick
ems, of Alabama, "the Intervention Of
some outside power Is imperative. All
weak sentimentalism should be dis
missed. The letter of humanity should
be violated for the sake Of the spirit.
The subjugation Of the island by
Great Britain or American would be
an act Of kindness" American inter-
ests in Hayti exceed those Of other
nations. and as Porto Rico is devel-
oped and Cuba drawn to us by the in
stinct Of elf-preservation. those inter-
ests will increase, and the issue Of an
nexation by consent will be raised. But

people nothing seems more remote than
the passing Of the Black Republic un-
der the flag of the great white repub-
lie.
It Is singular that a young Negro
should sound a note which some peo-
ple would call craftsmanship, but he
echoes the sentiments Of southerners
dead and gone whose name he bears.
It was probably their view that destiny
would call to the United States to
plant the flag on the island Of the Car
ibbean-Andrew Pickens, who rallied
the panic-stricken militia at Cowpens,

Gus type in the early days; Francis

Out Of tho Wrong Bottle.


Here's a story John w. Gates tells:
did you hear about Thompkins and
his wife? No. Well, Thompkinss
wife had a cough, so she told him to
get her a bottle Of cough medicine
When he was buying it the druggist
remarked incidentally that he had
some of the best hair restorer that
ever gladdened the head Of a bald
headed man. Thompkins is bald-head-
ed, but he pretended he didn't hear
He bought a cigar and talked politics
with two or three Of the boys for
while and just before he left for home
he said kind Of carelesslike to the
druggist:
"Say, old man, got any stuff that's
good for the hair-make it-er-'sort
Of grow, you know?"
ooh, yes" said the druggist.
"Well," said Thompkins, guess I'll
take a bottle. My brother-in-law Is
regular dude and likes such things.
The two bottles were about the same
size, but that wasn't the druggists
fault. Thompkins opened them ooth
when he got home. That night after
he had undressed he happened to think
that 1t might be a good thing to try
a little Of the hair restorer. In the
dark he got hold Of his wife's cough
medicine and he plastered 1t all over
his bald head. It was good and sticky
and it hung right on. Mrs. Thomp-
kins had a violent fit Of coughing
during the night and in feeling around
the closet for her medicine got hold
of the hair restorer. She took a Dig
dose and then followed:
"Fire!"
Thompkins awoke with yell. There
had been a little slit in the pillow case
and he had rolled around with his
sticky head until he had made a great
hole in the case and had all the feath-
ers worth mentioning flaring out from
his Uranium so that he looked like the
banshee in an Irish folklore tale. He
came rushing to Mrs. Thompkin's as
sistance. She thought 1t was the evil
one taking a half-holiday and again
hollered, this time louder than ever:
Fire! Police! Fire"
The hired girl ran out into the night
with nothing on but sweater and a
pair Of rubber boots and turned IN
general alarm. It cost Thompkins
$16.50 to make it all right with the
'firemen. but he says the experience
was cheap at the price, as the cough
mixture started his hair growing again.
incidentally his wife's cough has dis
appeared.-New York Press.
