BIunders Of Painters.

Tinoret, an Italian painter. IN a
picture of the children of Israeli
gathering mama has taken the pre-
caution to arm them with the mod
ern invention of guns. Cigoli paint
ed the aged Simeon at the circum-
cision of the infant Saviour, and as
aged men in these days wear specta-
cles the artist has shown his sagaci-
ty by placing them on Simeon's
nose. In a picture by Verrio Of
"Christ Healing the Sick" the look
ers on are represented as standing
with periwigs on their heads. To
match, or rather exceed, this lu-
dicrous representation Durer has
painted "The Expulsion of Adam
and Eve From the Garden of Eden"
by an angel in dress fashionably
trimmed with founces. The same
painter in his scene of "Peter De-
nying Christ" represents a Roman
soldier very comfortably smoking a
pipe of tobacco.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..

A Clever Retort.

Leonard Bacon, who was one of
the best known theologians in New
England o quarter of century ago,
was attending a conference in one
of the New England cities and some
assertions he made in his address
were vehemently objected to by a
member of the opposition. "Why,"
he expostulated, 81 never heard Of
such a thing in all my life" "Mr.
Moderator" rejoined Bacon calmly,
81 cannot allow my opponents igno-
rance, however vast, to offset my
knowledge, however small. Chi

THE LAwLEss SPIRIT.
Reosevelt's Public Career Abounds
in Incidents Affording Alum
dant Evidence.

~ am reminded" writes Samuel Un-
termyer to the New York Times, that
the Panama conspiracy (Which history
will record as one of the foulest and
most cowardly crimes of modern times.
and the blacklist spot in the existence
of nation that had just accomplished
one of the most ennobling and self
sacrificing acts in the cause OF human
liberty that was ever known is not
the only instance in which Mr.. Roose-
welt has shown that he regards the
Constitution as subject to the Execu-
tive will, to be nodded, ignored, or
trampled upon to meet his views Of ex-
pediency, instead of looking before
him. His public career affords album
dant evidence of his determination to
WELD all the powers Of government on
the dangerous trough rider" principle
that all means are justified to accom-
plish the desired end"
This great lawyer, in a lengthy let
ter, points out the existence Of 1.-The
lawless spirit" in President Roosevelt,
when he, as Governor, removed Dis
trict Attorney Gardiner. The New
York Times comments upon the I'm
termyer letter and says editorially:
"This newspaper was not reckoned
among the ardent admirers Of District
Attorney Asa Bird Gardiner. We de-
plored and censured his indiscretions,
personal and official, and at any mo-
ment during his term Of office we
should have acclaimed a successor to
him appointed in conformity with the
provisions of law. Yet when Governor
Roosevelt removed Mr.. Gardiner we
were compelled to declare that the ac-
ton he had taken was wanton, law
less, and a dangerous usurpation or
power. The Commissioner appointed
by Governor Roosevelt to hear the
charges against Colonel Gardiner had
reported that they were not proved,
Ind that no action should be taken.
subsequently, without further hearing,
ind, as this community pretty general
ly believed, without proper cause, the
Governor removed the District Attor-
aey and appointed Mr.. Philbin in his
place.
ut was a perfectly characteristic
let, yet New Workers did not know
lhen that it was characteristic of Mr..
Roosevelt. They would have been dis
posed to regard it as a sporadic out
break. They now know by repeated
exhibitions of Mr.. Roosevelt's disre-
gard of law that having his own way
either with or against the statutes and
he Constitution, is confirmed habit
With him. The Gardiner incident is IL
ustrative of the Roosevelt tempera-
nent"
