THE PRESIDENT AND THREE Gov
ERNORS.

Evidently the Southern people feel
more kindly towards the President than
some of the Southern Governors do.
Relying on his St. Louis speech they
are disposed to take him at his word.
and accept the hand of good fellow
ship which. on that occasion, he ex-
tended to them.
President Francis of the st. Louis
Exposition wired Gov. Vardeman of
Mississippi that the President, when
visiting the fair on Saturday. greatly
admired the Mississippi state building.
In responding the Governor wired:
Doubtless the Presidents admiration
of the Mississippi building is due to
his admiration of Jefferson Davis, of
whose last home it is a replica" This
little bit of sarcasm wasn't pleasing
to good many prominent Mississip-
plans. especially merchants and repre-
sentative citizens of Natchez. They
'swatted" the Governor, as it were, by
sending a letter to President Francis
protesting against the phraseology of
his telegram
President Francis sent a telegram to
Gov. Terrell of this state relative to
the Georgia exhibit and building, SINH
lar to that which was sent to Gov.
Vardeman. The Governor made no
response, because he didn't think one
necessary, but the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce seems to have thought a
response necessary and It has invited
the President to visit that city next
May, assuring him of "a cordial and
hearty reception" The resolution car
rying the invitation was unanimously
adopted.
President Francis also sent a tele-
gram to Gov. Warfield of Maryland,
similar to that sent to Cows. Varde-
man and Terrell, relative to the Mary
land building and exhibit. The Mary
land Governor regarded the telegram
as highly complimentary. In response,
he said:
Il am glad President Roosevelt en-
Joyed his visit to the exposition. Mary
land appreciates his commentator of
her exhibit and his admiration of her
attractive building"
This isn't of course a case of the
lady and the tiger, but as all of the
three foregoing governors belong to
the party opposed to that to which the
President belongs. it is an interesting
question as to which of the three meth
DDS of treating President Francis tel
egrams will be the most highly COM
mended and approved.

Herr Conried. of the Metropolitan
Opera House. is said to have discov-
cred new and remarkably fine tenor,
in the person of the interchangeable
son of a Saratoga blacksmith. The boy
is now attending the opera house sing
ing school, and it is predicted that he
will become one of the worlds great
singers, If no untoward circum-
stance intervenes. Meanwhile his
father expresses the opinion that it
is all right for the young fellow to
fool with singing for while, if he
wants to, but his real place is at the
blacksmiths forge, where both father
and grandfather before him hammered
the iron while it was hot. Whether
the youth realizes the possibilities of
the future. such as earning as much
in night with his voice as he could
earn in six months at the forge, is a
question.

A number of Republican politicians
are alleged to be endeavoring to per-
suade the President to lend the weight
of his influence to a project for gov
eminent endorsement of some 500, OOO,-
900 Of bonds to be issued by a Philip
pine railroad syndicate. The idea is
that the Philippines need some great
trunk line railroads. and that Ameri-
can syndicates ought to build them.
With fabulous sums of money to spend
in the Philippines for new railroads.
and equally fabulous sums to spend
in Panama for the canal the contrac-
tor-favorites of the Republican party
ought to live in clover for some time
to come.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun the other day took that paper to
task for intimating editorially that the
Rev. Charles Wagner, author of THE
Simple Life" had departed by exam
pie from the precepts of his book since
he has been in this country. Parson
Wagner's theory. it will be recalled,
is based upon the utmost simplicity in
all the relations of life. The Suns
editors, in reply to the criticism, recall
the fact that Parson Wagner. ever
since he has been in this country, has
been in the center of whirl of ex-
element. He has had special trains,
has ridden in dashing automobiles, has
had seven engagements in one day
for receptions. dinners and lectures,
and has preached syndicate sermons
and been introduced by the President
of the United States. Does this look
like the simple life? the Sun asks. 1t
certainly looks more like a strenuous
life, such as the President adlnires.

Japan would divide China and Korea
between them, to the exclusion OF all
other Western powers. 1t is rather

are now at each others threats, with
only the desire TO kill, coming to an
agreement Of the kind suggested. And
yet it is not impossible. Diplomacy is

THE OLD HON ESTEAD.

So surely as the years roll on
ward that home in which you
now dwell will become extinct.
The parents will be gone, the
property will be turned over in
to other possession, you yourself
will be in other relationships,
and that home which, only few
years ago, was full Of congratu-
lation, will be extinguished.
When that period comes you
will look back to see what you
did do or neglected to do in the
way of making home happy. If
you did not smooth the path of
your parents toward the tomb;
if you did not make their last
days bright and happy; if you al
lowed your younger brother to
go out into the world unhallowed
by Christian and sisterly in
fuences; if you allowed your
younger sisters of your Home
Circle to come up without feel
ing that there had been a most
worthy example set them on your
part, there will be nothing but
bitterness of lamentation. That
bitterness will be increased by
all the surroundings of that
home; by every chair, by every
picture, by the old mantel orna-
ments, by everything you can
think of as connected with that
home. Young woman have you
anything to do in the way of
making your fathers home hap

it, or leave it forever undone.

Miracle Stone.

There is miner in town at
present who has with him piece
of miracle stone," as the In
dams of Chihuahua call an eX-
ceedingly peculiar rock that is
occasionally come across in the
Santa Eulalia district. They
have long attributed healing
properties to it, and have been
accustomed to carrying pieces of
it around in their clothes.
And not the Indians alone, but
also the Aperican miners Of that
region have faith. in the strong
stone. They maintain that it
cures rheumatism, 'miners con-
SUMPTION" kidney trouble and
a number of other diseases.
Doctors and professional men
generally have treated it as I'M
worthy of consideration. And
yet the miners have gone on be-
lieving in the thing in their per-
sistent unscientific way, for
there is sort of common sense
argument that appears to them
in favor of this curative stone,
and it is that they have seen
many cases of maladies and evil
apparently cured by the carrying
around of a piece of this stone OF
ore.
