a noticeable feature this season has
been the increased number of people
who have climbed without taking the
most elementary precautions. The
worst accident was, without doubt, that
which caused the deaths Of the four
Englishmen on the Gran Paradise at the
beginning Of September. This was due
10 bad roping. and to the absence Of
guides. The most sensational climbs
were two ascents during the winter of
the Cervina and Monte Rosa, the most
difficult peaks on the Italian side.

prove his geniality and natural dem
ocracy in mingling with the crowds,

making friends than he. lie possesses
that rare gift, which made the late
James G. Blaine and the late William

ability to recollect faces and names
Wherever he went he was sure to meet
men to whom he had been introduced
months and years before, and in every
instance was able to recognize them
and call their names.

Willingness and yigor. He is a firm
believer in the Rooseveltion admins
tration and policy and, although not
as gifted in oratory as many other of
the stump speakers, he has an en-
phatic and convincing way of present
ing facts. He is not much of a story
teller on the stump, but in pri-ate and
small gatherings he can tell a joke
with good effect, and is a most enter

notable examples of endurance and ef-
fective campaign work, but the palm
for strenuous campaigning lies be-
tween Mr.. Fairbanks and Speaker
Cannon. Mr.. Fairbanks has his re-
ward, and that for Uncle joe is for
the future to determine. The speak
er's enthusiastic friends are discussing
him as possible candidate for the
presidency in 1908, and base their
claims upon the popularity he has
achieved in his extended speaking
tour
The vigorous, spry and genial Illi-
nois statesman is 6S years of age, but
he has made record during the past
three months of which youngster of
so might be proud. Col. CassOn, in
charge of the speakers bureau at
congressional committee headquarters,
finds that the spellbinders who worked
under his direction made total of 173
speeches, but of this number Uncle

cut and Rhode Island. He made as
high as eight speeches in a day and
averaged about five hours vigorous
platform talking each day.

that man who can go through per-

names on the first roll CALL so they
are given an opportunity to respond
on the second. Then there are usually
a number who find that even after the

that such an arrangement would avoid

SHAH FEARS THE DENTIST
Cut He Knows How to Suppress Jokes
of His Subjects on the
Matter

The shah of Persia has been suffering
from toothache of late, but the offending
tooth has not yet been drawn. for the
reason that by the time the court den
fist, an American, can reach the i'm
perial apartments the imperial propri-
etor has lost his courage. says a writer
in the New York Times. On this account
little joking has been INDUCED in by
certain of his highness' encourage. very
much under the rose, of course. though
not concealed quite carefully enough
for the shah discovered it, and then pro-
ceeded to get even.
The tooth began to give trouble The
dentist was sent for. On his arrival he
was not even permitted to look at the
tooth. He was about to bow himself
out when the shah stopped him and
asked to see his case ofinstruments. He
examined each one with interested Curl
osity and then began asking what GER
tain ones were usedfor.
This seemed to interest him still more:
he would like illustrations. Could not
the dentist show just what was done if
some of the gentlemen of the suite stand
ing about would serve as subjects. The
master of the horse had a strong-Iook-
ing jaw. Would he not allow the dem
fist to begin with him?
The master of the horse had an imme-
date engagement. as had every other
officer in the room. excepting the grand

claiming credit for the election They
are not a disinterested lot by any
means, and the recitation of their po-
litical exploits is generally preliminary
to suggestion that they might be
able to do great good for their coun-
try in some position that has COM

The president is able TO treat all
these suggestions with the utmost
complacency. He has not a single po-
litical promise to redeem. Whatever

members of the cabinet, was paid for.
and there are no services that need
to be requited with political Office. The
presidents resolve that his admins
tration should be unmortgaged by any
pledges or promises Included those OF
a political character as well as those
involving any favor in the admins
tration of laws or influence in future
legislation. Mr.. Roosevelt will be en-
tirely unhampered in carrying out his
ideals and lettering the public serv-
ice.
1t is understood that he has in con-
temptation a reformation in some OF
the branches OF the public service,
particularly the consular service. He
has had Investigations made and, has
himself given much attention to the
personnel of our consular representa-
tiEes, and is convinced that many
changes can be made for the better,
and he will probably reorganize the
whole service by getting rid of dead
timber and putting in intelligent,
capable and active men who under
stand the responsibilities and duties of
such an Office. He appreciates that the
development of American interests
abroad lies largely in the hands OF
our consular officers, and it is his aim
to build up the system SO that it will
be second to none in the world.
