President Roosevelt
on Good CITIZENSHIP.

The following is brief condensa-
at Spokane yesterday:
my Fellow Americans: 1t is a
matter of the greatest pleasure to
me that 1 am able today to come here
and greet you, greet you in this won
derful city of this wonderful state.
Before 1 came I knew you had done
a great deal. but l did not know
quite how much. and though
thought I came to Washington a
pretty good American. 1 go away a
better one,
'And in greeting all of you, let me
say word of special greeting to
those to whom the republic owes more
than to any other set of men within
it's borders Or who nave ever been
within it's borders-the men of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
This state will owe no small part
of it's future greatness (and that
greatness will be great indeed) to the
fact that it Is doing it's share in
acquiring for the United States the
dominance of the Pacific.
Now the railroads and steamship
lines, the men and the corporations
that build them, have rendered a
great service to the community by
making that development possible
and in return good is done to them
and not harm when they are required
to obey the law.
Ours is government of liberty
by, through and under the law. No
man is above it. And the crime Of
cunning. the crime of greed. the crime
of violence are all equal crimes and
against them all alike the law must
set its face.
This is not and II never shall be
government either or plutocracy
or of mob. neither one. 1t Is, and
it has been. and 1t will be, a govern
ment of the people. including alike
the people of great wealth, of mod
crate wealth, the people who employ
others, the people VINO are employed,
protecting each and everyone if he
acts decently and squarely. and dis
eliminating against each of them. no
matter from what class he comes If
he does not obey the law
And while all people are foolish
if they go outside of the law. wicked
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-05-27

as we'll as foolish. yet the most fool
ish man of this republic is the man
of wealth who complains because the
law is administered with impartial
justice against or for him; because
he lives and moves and has Ehis be-
ing because the law does indeed pro-
tect him and mis- property
But back of the law Stands the
citizen, back of the law Stands the
man.
TN the last analysis the m$n must
be the architect of his own fate.
There is no one of us that Dies not
now and then need helping hand.
and shame to any man who, when he
gets the chance. does not extend that
helping hand to his brother. Help
him up If he stumbles. Help him to
walk. but if he lies down you can
not carry him. And If he is swilling
to lie down he is not worth carrying.
You can help him in the only way by
which in the long run any man can
be helped. by helping him to help
himself.
Give the man the capacity for self
help, self reliance, self mastery and
you have in him the making of a
good neighbor, good citizen. a good
man; and if you can not give him
those qualities all the help else you
can give him will slip off and leave
him no better than before.
'If you only have enough self re-
spect you would no, envy or hate
another man because he Is better off
in the worlds goods. You would not
do it because you are too proud of
yourselves as American citizens. be-
cause you have too much confidence
in yourselves, because you will not
admit the inferiority that accom-
panies envy If you envy and hate
another man. you admit that you are
inferior to him, and 1t is not only a
baseness of attitude toward him, but
it Is an admission Of unworthiness
in yourselves.
eff a man does his duty by his
neighbor and the state. if he is a
good father, a good husband and a
good man to work beside, to deal
with. a good man in the performance
of his civic duty. then he Is a good
citizen and entitled to the respect
and the regard of all honest men,"

NEW YORK. May 27.-claiming
that decree obtained against
her In Florida is invalid Mrs.
Anna Ogden Pell. has sued Dun
can c. Pell for divorce while
he is away on a honeymoon trip
with his second wife, formerly Helene
Louise Gardner. In the proceedings
the second wife is named as core
spondent. Pell and his second bride
are thought to be in Europe at pres
ent. An order was obtained from
Justice Bischoff of the supreme court
for service of summons on Mr.. Pell
by mailing it to his last known resi-
dence In this country. Orlando, Fla,
where he and his second wife lived
last winter.
Pells first wife was Anna Ogden
Pendleton. member of a well known
Staten Island family. They were
married at New Brighton in 1892
Two children were born to them
Domestic difficulties arose between
Mr.. Pell and his first wife several
years ago. and they entered into ar
ticles of separation. Mrs. Pell re-

the support of herself and the chill
dren.
Two years ago Mr.. Pell inherited
large fortune from an aunt in
Paris. and he bought an estate at
Orlando. Fla. Mrs. Pell claims that
he did this for the purpose of OBJ
tanning a legal residence there so
that he could apply for divorce
in Florida. About a year ago he
was given a decree by default, Mrs.
Pell refusing to appear at the suit
She claimed that she was a resident
of New York and that the courts of
Florida had no jurisdiction over her
This Is also her reason for claiming
that the divorce granted against her
is invalid. 1t was obtained on the
grounds of desertion.
Pell's second marriage, to Helene
Louise Gardner. was on October Is,
1902. For a while after their mar
riage they lived at North Haven,
Conn, going from there to Florida.
The first Mrs. Pell employed de-
tective to watch them and designed
to intercept their trip abroad, but
they are said to have got away from
Boston under assumed names.

gentlemen have given up the island
for lost. 1t is particularly the west

nous grottos are situated. that is

Eight hunded years ago the is
land was five times its present size,
and as the crumbling away of the
rock is due solely TO geological
causes, II is admitted that no human
skill and power can do anything to
avert it's complete disappearance. The
rock of which the island is composed
contains large percentage of. salt.
which nothing can protect from the
dissolution by the North sea.

DIR. John Bascom, ex-President of the
University of Wisconsin, was noted
at the university for his absentmind-
edness. Many stories are told of him in
this regard. One of them concerns a
reception that he once gave to the
students of the freshman class. Lem
onade was served in the course of the
evening, and when the madam lnno-
cent creature fresh from Ireland
handed the tray to her master he put
out his hand to it, and then, forgetting
what he was about to do, he let his
fingers play aimlessly for several min.

warmly upon ONE subject that much
interested him.

Mirth, Not Misery. Loves Company.

l have always doubted the PROPOSE
ton that misery loves company" and
have believed that such a statement
was first put forth by some arch-hypo-
critic whose misery was but a pretense,
and who was Decking some other sham
sufferer into a quiet corner where they
could both be jovial on the sly.
However slight my knowledge of uni.
versal misery may be, l can attest from
personal experience that my own mis-
cry claims solitude, and slips away all
by itself, and turns the key upon the
curious world, asking nothing so much
to be "let alone" / do not care to
weep in company, nor would it cheer
me to have a chorus of other weepers
to sob in unison with me. Rather
would I remain in lnmolested wretch
edness until my tears had vanished,
and my eyestand nose assumed normal
appearance. l.
IT'S mirth, then, and not misery
which pines for company. Fun cannot
thrive alone, and fourishes only among
congenial spirits. Our laughter must
be shared,t u smiles responded to.
and every glance of merriment needs
recognition to make it worth the
while.-Caroline Ticknor, in The At
lantic.

Only the weak need a tonic. People are
never weak except from some good cause.
Ono of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one ~oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh infiames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the
form of mucus. This discharge of mucus is
weakness.

STORY OF A HERMIT PRINTER.
His Paper Printed in a Barren Place.
Miles From Human Habitations.


Captains Spencer and Shaw, the local
United States inspectors of steam boil
ers and hulls, on a recent trip up to the
headwaters of the st. Johns River un-
earthed probably one of the most
unique newspaper plants in the State
lof Florida. The plant was discovered
in the midst Of a wild. barren country.
Captains Shaw and Spencer ran upon
the hut In which 1t was located acct
dentally. 1t was the only house, such
as 1t was, within n radius of many
miles, and naturally the inspectors
thought that they would pay a visit to
the tenants. When they entered the
front part of the house it seemed as If
the place was not occupied, but on
going back into n rear room, which had
been transformed into n prlnt-shop,
they came upon m old man of unkempt
appearance, who was bending over a
printers case, evidently busy setting
type. The old man had long matted
hair. that hung down on his neck and
partially concealed his face. His
clothes were frayed out and worn. The
old mar was of kindly visagc, however,
and stopped in his work to give the Wis.,
ltors a welcome. 1t required only a
few questions to get him started telling
about his print-shop. He said hat he
was getting out a magazine.
He said that the publishing of the
paper was his life work. He had set
tied down in the wilds, bought a small
printing outfit, second hand, and spent
his days alone at the case or at q desk
putting his thoughts into shape. The
paper is published once a month at the
subscription price of fifty cents a year.
The lone printer is unmarried and there
is no other human being within several
miles of his MISUNDERSTANDING
Times-Union.

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge of mucus. This is why Pc
rupa is called a tonic. Peruna does not
give strength by stimulating the nervous
system a little.
1t gives strength by preserving the mu-
cous membranes against leakage.
1t gives strength by converting the blood
fluids and preventing their draining away
in mucous discharges.
Constant splitting and blowing the nose
will finally produce extreme weakness
from the loss of mucus.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.
