The President as q Father.

Soon afJer the Roosevelps took up
their reside.ce ut The White House a
fawDing society woman asked one OF
the younger boys ii he didn't dislike
the common boys" whom he met at
the pub schools. The little fellow
looked at her in wonderment and then
siad:
"My papa says that there are only
tall boys and short boys and good boys
and bad boys and that's all the kinds
of boys there are"
Summed up, resident Roosevelt's
theory with reference to the manage
ment of children is that parents should
neither be too strict nor too indulgent.
Said he in discussing the matter:
In the first case the children grow
up sullen, and in the second they often
become an offence to themselves and a
curse to others Moreover all children
should have as good a time as they
possibly can. HI. |. Cleveland in Fec

leopold de Meyer OF Dresden, bril-
liant and popular pianist OF his day,
was once summoned TO play before the
sultan ut Constantlnoplc. Going thith-
err. he borrowed grand piano from
one OF the Austrian secretaries OF Legal
tion and had 1t set up In n large rcccp-
ton room ut the palace. There he
awaited the coming OF the sultan. but
when that intelligent monarch entered
the room he started back In alarm and
demanded OF his attendants what that
monster was standing there on three
logs.
Explanations followed. but we're in
vain. The legs had to be taken of and
the body OF the Instrument laid fiat on
the floor. and Leopold dc Meyer, squat
ting cBoss legged on mat. went
through his programme MS best lie
could In that awkward attitude and
without pedals. But the commander OF
the faithful was delighted. and when
the Inst piece was played gave the art
list over 5000 as "backshccsh."

A Curved cherry stone.

DIR. Peter Oliver. who lived in Eng
land during the early part OF the eight
centh century. tells OF seeing n carved
cherry stone which would be wonder
even In this age of fine tools and fine
workmanship.
The stcne was one from common
cherry, and upon 1t were carved the
heads OF 124 pspcs, kings, queens, en-
pcrors. saints. etc. Small as they must
necessarily have boon. II Is announced
on the authority of Professor oliver
that with good glass the heads OF
the popes and kings could readily be
distinguished from those OF the queens
and saints by their miters and crowns.

wonder to England purchased II In

The theory of the OFFICIALLY perfect
eye Is that parallel rays OF light enter

Ina. Any deviation from this condI-
ton constitutes an errcr OF rcfractIou

YOUTH DEAD AND GIRL DYING.
Young Mans Former Alleged Engage.
ment Causes the Trouble,

Scranton, Pa, June %. - A pair OF
young sweethearts, Ernest Schmic
and Miss Jennie Brennan, both Of
Greenwood. were the participants in a
double tragedy last evening which has
resulted in the formers death and
which probably also will prove fatal in
the case of the girl. The two had
loved each other %devotedly for several
months. but another woman from
Schmic's old home interferred a week
ago, and sought to hold him to an al.
legged engagement with her. This led
the pair to seek refuge in death and
they apparently planned last nights
affair with much deliberation. Miss
Brennan purchased a bottle of car
bolic acid in the morning and shortly
afterward both started out for a walk.
They strayeG to a secluded spot in
the midst Of a forest and spent the
entire afternoon sitting side by side
on a rock They were seer by several
other ramblers in the woods, and this
led to the search by the girls cousin
and several of his friends.

Belgrade. June 23.-The army OH
GERS who took part in the assassina'
ton of King Alexander and Queen
Draga are already receiving promo
tons, ostensibly from King Peter.
The appointment Of Lieut.. Col.
Mischits as commandant Of the mill
tary district of Belgrade carries with
1t promotion to a colonelcy. COL
Popovitch of King Alexander's palace
guard has been promoted to a general
and senior aide to King Peter. Capt.
Kostisch, who opened the palace gates
to the conspirators, has been made a
major. Lieut.. Grouitch, who COM
manded the guard outside the palace
or the night of the murders, has re-
ceived a captaincy. The last three
form the military deputation that a
sen to Geneva to formally notify King
Peter of his selection. 1t has not been
ascertained whether King Peter really
made these promotions, and it is sug-
gested that the war Office announced
luSm vi llS oWu dultlc1lt y III "
Force the Kings Hand.
1t is apparent that the provisional
government does not intend to treat
the assassins other than patriots.
They will take an important part in
King Peters reception upon his ar
rival here. Col. Mischits, who, it is
now stated, fired the first shot at King
Alexander, will be among the first to
greet the new king. Col. Maschin,
the brother of Queen Draga's first hus-
band, who also took a prominent part
in the murders, will speak at the gala
dinner to be given in the kings honor.
The other officers will take prominent
parts in inaugurating the new regime,
while the Sixth and Seventh regi-
ments, whose officers were c%onspicu-
ously identified with the murder plot,
have been chosen to line the streets
and form the guard of honor on the
kings arrival. King Peter must con-
cur or throw his fat into the fire.

two latter are residents OF rocco

dispatches, the specific charge is con

The indictments are based on section
544O of the Revised Statutes, which
provides a penalty of $4,000 or two
years Imprisonment. or both.
There are twelve counts to the IN
dictments. eleven of which are SUB
stantially the same as those found
against Machen and the Groffs.
Assistant District Attorney Taggett
announced that the investigation ITO
postal affairs by the grand jury will
continue but that the indictment pre-
scented yesterday completes the work
of his office as far as the grand jury
has acted.
The Post says that among the mat
tiers which Fourth Postmaster General
Bristow is Investigating is the pur-
chase from a California company, the
Postal Devise and Improvement CON-
pany, of some 1900 letter devices for
indicating the hours of collection Of
mail. The invention is that OF the
postmaster at San Francisco. it is
said. 1t is also said that 1000 Of these
devices originally were ordered at a
cost of 81 or more each, or a profit OF
100 per cent on cost, and the ellega-
ton is made that a further order for
10000 was placed Notwithstanding the
original 1000 devices were not used,
but were reposing in a storehouse.
The company controlling the device
was largely made up of California
postal employees, and the Post will say
that it is informed that Former Rep
resentative Loud Of California, for
merly chairman of the house postof-
fee committee, took an active part in
their behalf and wrote several letters
urging the device upon the depart
ment, and in n Of the letters said it
would be an accommodation to him if
the matter was attended to.
After the company had difficulty in
securing it's money for the devices,
Mr.. Loud, the Post says appeared at
the department in its behalf, but that
he specifically disclaimed any interest
in the company other than that it was
composed of his constituents. He took
the ground that whatever the neces-
sary or lack of necessity for the de-
vice constituents of his had secured
the contract and furnished the articles
called for. Therefore he believed they
should be paid as the government had
stipulated to ray them.
During his recent visit to Washing
ton Mr.. Loud on certain of his visits
to the department took up several of
these unpaid bills, making it plain,
however, that he appeared only in be-
half of constituents and not as n
interested in the company.
