Though not the seventh daughter Of
a seventh daughter, born in the dark

created a precedent surprising one,

veil over her face. The father with
all of his religious prejudices aroused,
was certain that the devil had some-
thing to do with this veil" Sympa-
thies cannot all be with the father,
however, if the truth must be said:'

parallel that exhibits such record of
rapid advancement by means of the
concomitance of so many eventful
accidents.
Leupp gives an ingenious explanation
Tor the singular reticence the late Sem
ator Hanna always exhibited when
asked whether he intended running for
the Presidency this year and the ap-
parently coquettish way in which he
seemed to enjoy the idea of his pos
sible nomination. According to Leupp,
No one well acquainted with Senator
Hanna's personality was deceived as
to where he stood. He was not of the
Presidential mold. The Senate suited
his taste and his powers. He wanted
free hard. He hated infiniteSimal
worries. He lacked the patience nee
essary to deal with all sorts of men
at once as a master and as a suppli-
cant. He loved authority more than
insignia. He would rather administer
the affairs of the nation in the name
of another than let others administer
them in his name. Nature had marked
him for a kingmaker-not a king.
There probably was never
a moment when he felt the slightest
temptation to enter the lists for the
nomination, but neither was there
moment when he would have been

1t to some one else. If Republican or
ganizations anywhere saw fit to name
Roosevelt as their choice. why should
he put obstacles in their way? He was
entirely friendly with Roosevelt and
looked to see him nominated; he would
not accept the nomination himself if
1t were offered. him, and he did not
expect 1t to be offered; but to go into
the convention with large following
at his back and prevent a bad mistake
if it threatened, would be a great sat
isfaction"
Roosevelt's love of sports and ath-
letics, his family life, his religious toll
erance, his Interpretation of the Mon
roe doctrine, the Booker Washington
incident and many other happenings Of
his administration which have had
either political significance or the
mere worth of anecdote, are recited by
the author in clear and entertaining
manner.
On reading this book one cannot help
but enjoy it, no matter what his po-
litical convictions. may be. In truth
it is a bold and an unprecedented ac-
tion on the part of the publishers to
bring out a work upon man who is
yet living and whose political career
is still in the making, yet the reputa-
tion of the publishing house and the
sincerity of the author should be
enough to scout the idea that in this
work there is anything which could
be construed into an attempt to fur
nish material for a political campaign.
Whether or rot Roosevelt becomes the
next President, there is enough of
mark in the man to warrant the pub
lication of an intimate view of him.

RELIEF FOR MILLERS.
Will Be Allowed Drawback on Import
ed Wheat Exported.

Secretary Shaw and Assistant Secretary
Armstrong are preparing regulations under
a section of the present tariff law which
will allow millers drawback on exported
flour made of imported wheat mixed with
domestic wheat. Up to this time millers
have been able to operate only under the
provision of the law which permits the ex-
portation of flour made from imported
wheat brought into this country in bonded
cars, ground in bonded mills and taken out
of the country, constantly under customs
supervision and at the expense of the mills.
The law also requires that the by-products,
such as bran. middlings etc, shall be ex-
pected. In consequence of the fact that
these by-products bring a better price In
the United States than in Canada the
millers have frequently lost by the transac-
ton.
The Secretary finds no difficulty in afford
ing the millers the same relief that is en-
joyed by the smelters in the matter Of i'm
ported ores except in determining the exact
amount of -four produced from given
quantity of imported wheat by each indi-
vidual mill, as 1t is well known that some
mills produce appreciably more than others.
Another factor, however. is the determina-
ton of the quantity OF by-products produce
ed by each mill. such information being in
disrensable in calculating the amount of
drawback to be allowed ON the exported
ficur alone. The new regulations, IL Is
thought, win be ready for PRONUNCIATION
early in the coming week.

and Liquozone-like an excess Of oxygen-is deadly
to vegetal matter.
There lies the great value Of Liquozone. It is
the only way known to kill germs in the body
without killing the tissues, too. Any drug that
kills germs is a poison, and 1t cannot be taken
internally. Medicine is almost helpless In any
germ disease. It is this fact that gives Liquo-
zone its worth to humanity. And that worth is
so great that, after testing the product for two
years, through physicians and hospitals We paid
