PIainsman's Retort.


A year or so ago, when President
Roosevelt was making trip through
the west, each town he passed
through made some demonstration in
honor OF the event. The citizens OF
one town, where the train schedule
compelled the President to remain
eight or nine hours, decided to make
a holiday of it when MIR. Roosevelt az.
rived. They arranged a series OF
speeches, horse races, rope throwing
and broncho busting. The best talent
OF the countryside was on hand, and
each contributed his share of the en-
tertainme1t.
One Of the cowboys was mounted
on an especially ill-tempered beast.
He caught the Presidents fancy on
account of his daring and ability.
After doing his stunt" he was intro
diced to the chief executive, who
ccmplimented him on his horseman-
ship, and inquired: "Do you ride all
the time?"
Every one within hearing roared
when the plainsman replied, mo,
stop for meals"

sasThere were many theories advanced

railroad men fell in line with the opin-
ion of Mr.. George S. Fitzwater, chief
adjective of the Seaboard Air Line, that

Showed six spikes and several angle
bars which he picked up near the wrack
and said that they bore the marks OF
having been tampered with. Upon THIS
Theory, it was concluded that the pas

MISREPRESENTATION OF REPUB-

So well has the work been done that
our opponents do not venture to recite

then oppose them. They attack them
only when they have first misrepresen-

leave ro room for adverse comment.
Parama offers an instance in point.
Our opponents can criticise what we
did in Panama only on condition of
misstating what was done. The admin

from Port Arthur on the morning of
August 10. A severe battle ensued,
continuing until sunset. In the night
our torpedo flotilIa attacked the enc
my's squadron. for at dawn on August
IL the Ratvizan and another battleship
'of the Pobleda type appeared to be taxi
ing flight towards Port Arthur.
Advices have been received here that
Ia Russian torpedo boat destroyer,
which put into Che Foo, has made a
request OF the Chinese admiral that it
be permitted to disarm and remain,
and that the request is under consid-
Grafton.
This news is taken as an indication
that the Russian feet has decided per-
manently to abandon Port Arthur, for
otherwise the torpedo boat could have
obtained a supply os coal at Che Foo
sufficient TO have returned her to that
fortress. The boat. it is Believed, is
destined for no further service during
the present war for that would be the
only condition under which the Chinese
government would allow her to take
shelter at Che Foo. Another small Rus
sian gunboat is laid uo at a Chinese
port under similar conditions.
