Won't be UndOne Says PreSi-
dent Roosevelt.
His Letter to G. A. R. Encamp-
ment in Annual Session
at Boston.

One OF the chief features of the
opening session of the annual en-
campment of the Grand Army OF the
Republic was the reading of letter
OF regret from President Roosevelt.
The letter was addressed to Gen.
Blackmar, Comm auder OF the Depart
ment OF Massachusetts, and reads as
follows:
White House. Washington D. c.
Ny Dear General Blackmsr.
have carefully considered the In
vitation which l received through
you and your associates of the COM
mittee to attend this year the annual
encampment OF the grand Army OF
the Republic at Boston. 1t Is with
the most genuine regret that find
that it is impossible for ME to accept.
One OF the memories which l shall
always cherish Is the occasion two
years ago when it was my good tor
tune to drive along the line OF theGrand
Army OF the Republic and afterwarl
from the stand to greet it as 1t pas sed
in review. 1t is no disrespect TO any
other body of our citizens to say that
the men who fought for the Union 10
the great civil war have a claim upon
all Americans such as no other men
In the country can have.

rades who in their youth and early
manhood, in the supreme hour OF the

Foul years ago when your former

business. The fact is otherwise, how
ever, for in addition to this labor, it
has the strength and capacity to and

the course of a year, and often in a
much shorter period, making every

blacker than night.

her control Could she curb that all
would be well, but, alas, it often runs
away in spite of her, and all her eff
forts to reclaim and soften its madcap
disposition have hitherto proved I'M

not prove SO much longer,
But, on the other hand, that this
little member has, as 1 have already
limited, many shining qualities, can
not be denied.
1t is that that sings such melting
strains in the ears of the gentlemen,
and telling them the dear angel, whose

sionately fond of them, when, in truth,
she cares not a whit about them, al
most breaks SO many of their hearts.
Many other notable and praise
worthy exploits it performs daily, not
meet here to be mentioned. In short,
as by this time the reader must have
perceived, it is an unsettled question
whether it be an engine more power

saying more, will beg the ladies'
pardon for having said so much on

latter are not let loose upon me, I

were, with a disagreeab1e shock, says
the New York Tribune.

a man to a college chum whom he
met at the Grand Central station, and
whom he had not seen for what
seemed to him only few years.

Dicky Amber had often read Of cases
like his own-with this important
difference; the stories usually ended
happily whereas he knew that for
himself it would be madness to hope
for anything save disappointment.
He was in love, desperately, madly
in love with Nella Renshaw, a clever
and popular actress, the admired of
all admirers.
He enshrined her in his heart the
very first time he saw her, which was
the day on which he commenced his
engagement as violinist in the or
chestra of the London theater at
which she was playing a leading part
He made no effort to check this
hopeless love, which grew and grew
as he watched her night after night.
He could only see her when the &C
ton of the piece brought her well for
ward upon the stage; but he soon
learned to know when these places
came, and was always ready for her
SO as not to lose a single second of
the time that she was in his view.
Once her eyes met his upturned
gaze. That night he walked to his
poor lodgings with his head among
the stars. After that he found her
look turned toward him on several oc-
casions. On these nights he lay
awake for hours asking himself
whether the smile in those beautiful
eyes could possibly have been for
him; but by morning he had called
himself a fool for imagining for one
instant that what was obviously an ac-
cident in her acting, could have any
significance for him. Yet, for all his
wise reasontngs, those glances made
Then came a blow that hurt him
cruelty. Nella was to tour in Amer
lea. Even the pleasure of looking at
her was now to be denied him He
would not see her for a long time
perhaps never again.
A farewell performance was an
nounced, and, sick at heart, Dicky
took his accustomed place. Before
then he had always felt a thrill of
pleasure and pride when came the
thunders of applause in acknowledge
ment of Nella's superb art, but on
this night it filled his heart with sad
ness and great lump came to his
throat. This was the last time he
would see the triumph of the woman
he loved-the last time.
Then, as the curtain fell, he did a
thing that he had never dared before
to do. He quickly made his way to
the stage door and waited there to
watch her departure. AS she passed
him the fragrance of her dainty silks
and laces seemed to hold his whole
soul in bondage, and when her rus
Ting skirt brushed him he nearly
swooned.
She carried a magnificent bouquet
that had been presented to her, and
when she was half way to her car
rage rose dropped from it to the
pavement Dicky darted forward and
picked it up. Murmuring something,
he knew not what, he stepped to the
side of the carriage and handed it to
her.

instead of second violin now and his
position had been altered to one
from which he had a far better view
of the stage.
1t was not that thought, however,
which set his heart pounding with ex-
element as he went toward the thea
ter that day-the day on which he
was to behold her again after year.
In his heart there was a great hope
that she would recognize him in
some way or another. Surely she
must Then he would wal. at the
stage door and perhaps she would
speak to him again.
Bitter and terrible was his disap-
pointment- Not even a glance came
his way.
The next day he was not at his
place in the orchestra. Instead he sat
at home in his room before a table
covered with manuscript songs They
were those which he had written out
Of his great love.
Slowly, almost mechanically, he
took them up and scanned every note
Then, having seen that all were as
perfect as he could make them, he
gathered them together in heap.
He was going anywhere he did
not know or care. During the last
year he had so lived on the almost IN
conscious hope born in him by the
gift of roses that the realization that
it had been founded on nothing had
dazed his every faculty. 1t was as
though he had fallen from the clouds.
At first when the wish to leave the
place of sorrow had come to him, he
had determined to burn his songs; but
they were his children-the only chill
dren of his love-and he could not
Then came a wild desire that she
should know of his hearts longing,
and, after examining them all to make
sure that they, at least, were worthy
of her attentions, he gathered them to-
gether to send them to her.
He took the whitehead roses from
his breast. She should have them, too.
Pressing them passionately to his lips,
he laid them tenderly on the top of the
pile.
Then the stupor that had dulled his
understanding went and in its place an
awful dispair seized him. He laid his
head on his arms and sobbed-sobbed
as only can the man from whom is
taken the only hold on life.
For long while he lay. Then there
came a tap at the door. He did not
hear it The door opened gently and
a woman entered. 1t was Nella
Quietly she stepped to the table. Her
eyes rested on the roses She read
her name on the dedication of the
song on which they rested, and great
sob half of sorrow, half of joy, rose in
her throat. Very tenderly she touched
the bowed head.
Dicky started up and stared at her

1 shall pass over many of the minor
though not inconsiderab1e feats OF
this wonderful animal, and come di-

But why need I dwell on what is so

Who has never seen it look blue all

such torrents of execration would rush
out-but to unloose that little tongue

woman's elements, would ask?
Surely not; the whole mischief is in
