Here is an interesting expert
ment, boys and girls: Take wet

the surface of the water, with the
drawing up. Very carefully fill the
space inside the lines with water.

happen. The paper will be sure to
move on the water until the center

FOR CONGRESS.
WHERE WE STAND.

In reporting news events III the
columns of The Sentinel we en-
deavor to AVOID personal or edi-
torial opinion therein. Ii we de-
sire to express an opinion we do
so in the editorial columns. 1t
does not suit the fancy of some
of our warmest friends for
Us to report news items con-
corning those who are not our
friends or patrons, but to all
such as think we should give news
only concerning our personal
friends we will state that we are
running 9 newspaper for the ben
eft OF all and If we should fail to
give the news we would be neg
lecting our duty. Some of the
friends Of ourselves and support
ers of Judge W atkins did not
like the way we reported the
speeches of Hon. Phanor Brea-
zeaie here and at Dodson. They
seem to think we should have ig-
nored Mr.. Breazealc's presence
simply because we are supporting
Judge Watkins. Such /, course
on our part would not have been
fair and just to Mr.. Breazeale
and his friends nor would it have
been courteous on our part.
Another thing some of our
friends don't seem to like is the
space we gave last week to Mr..
Boyett's article in defense of the
actions of himself and others on
d certain occasion. In this mat
ter we have done as we always do.
give one an opportunity to cor
rect any reflection we might cast
on him or anyone else. Mr..
Boyett has made his statement
and we will let it go for what it
is worth. lie is a man we all
know and not being present on
the occasion which he discusses,
we have no reason to challenge
his statement of what he says are
the facts. We have had our say
on the subject before, and as he
claimed we had left wrong i'm
impression. BY request we gave
him permission to make a state
ment. Some may think we ought
to take up time and space to
further discuss tie matter, but
We shall not do so. 1t was opened
up anew at this time by little
newspaper down in Grant parish
where nothing is known of the
conditions here and we were
Obliged to challenge some of the
statements contained in that
papers gratuitious insult.
II there is one thing we try to
do more than another it is to be
fair to all IN both news matter
and editorial comment.

Cooking Eggs Without Fire.

Did any of you boys and girls
ever hear Of boiling an egg without
fire? This sounds very funny,
but it can be done. Here is the way
to do it:
With a pin make a hole at both
ends of raw egg and allow small
part of the white to run out. Take
the purest alcohol and pour it
through the holes you have made.
Close the two openings with little
wax and shake the egg thoroughly,
so that the. alcohol will mix with
the contents left in the egg.

ROOSEVELT NOT SAFE.


The New York Herald, which
supported Mckinley in two cam
paigns, Says Roosevelt is unsafe.
Discussing the candidates of the
two great political parties, it
says:
Judge Parker's telegram de-
claring himself for sound money
has made such an impression that
he may save the Democratic
Party in spite of itself.
1.-The comments elici.ed from
all quarters show that Judge
Parker's action has won the con-
fidence of the people, and that
sort of confidence President Ros-
seyelt has not inspired.
sHis imperialistic and pictorial
ways. together with his revival of
the race issue in the South, and
other rough-rider fads, have
awakened among the people a
distrust of Mr.. Roosevelt and
the Republican Party quite as
great as the distrust which Bryan
Ism, sixteen to oneism, Populism
and other freakish isms had ex-
cited with respect to the Demo-
Gratis.
"Mr. Roosevelt has the support
of his intimate friends and his
political proteges. but conserva-
alive people eye him with mis-
trust. They acknowledge that
he is irreproachable as an indi-
vidual-that he is a staunch
patriot, a good husband, a loyal
friend. But they doubt his ca
pacity for self-eontrQl, distrust
his Judgment and question his
conception of presidential duties.
Like the German Emperor, he
wishes to NEEDLE in every detail
of the public services to control
every department, to rule every
official, to be both the lawmaker
and the executive, to be the
source Of power and apply it.
Between Mr.. ReoseveIt's
views Of the Presidents duties
and the views of the American
people on that subject there is a
very wide difference He evil
IDENTIFY thinks the President of
the United States is a sort of die
tator. while the people rightly re-
gard him merely IS their chief
magistrate, and the executive
head of administration. This
doninecring conception Of his
official duties has excited wide
spread resentment among Repub-
llcans. and has led him to make
mistakes that would have pre-
vented his nomination If the Re-
publican Party had any other val
liable candidate.
As it was, however, he had
virtually a walkover, and the
Democrats were entirely out Of.
the running until Judge Parker's
telegram to w. +. Sheehan ut
the st. Louis Convention revealed
to them that they had candi-
date possessed of strong sense
and craftsmanship. Before his
ulIimatum was delivered it was
said in the Herald that Judge
Parker was the servant of the
Democratic Party; not its master.
His telegram on the gold question
proved the contrary. f showed
Tint the Democrats who had NOM
mated him, believing him to be
King Log, had really chosen
King Stork. What the Demo-
Gratis needed was . master. They
have found one in Judge Parker,
and he may yet lead then out Of
The wilderness.
