placed the entire country in a
State of uncertainty and about
whom the inquiry, with no feeling
of hope, was constantly made:
What will he do next" Mr..
Roosevelt, as President, has over
ridden the right Of Congress. He
had violated the constitution. The
feeling of doubt and uncertainty
was produced by the administra-
ton. Roosevelt had checked the
prosperity made possible by the
administration of Mr.. Cleveland.
Conservative Democrats every
where sought a candidate who
would represent respect for the
constitution and laws of our
country, who would recognize the
office of President to be one of no
untimidate authority, who would
not be carried into reckless ac-
tivity by intense adulatiOn of him
self, who would prefer to exer-
else the legitimate duties of the
office of President to startling the
country continuously by sending
warships to Morocco or acting as
an agent for some European pow
ers to force our Southern neigh
bors to pay their debts.

of education, of pleasure, of the
fullest liberty for children. He
is active all the time, not alone
for himself, but for everybody.
He is patriotic, and his country
could have his life, and the blood
of his sons, and the tears of his
wife, if necessary. He is charita-
BILE. He divides what he has, be
it much or little, and his whole
idea of life seems to be the scat
tering of sunshine and making the
world better because he has lived
in it.
Contrast that with the hermit of
Wall street, who has done none of
these things, and is especially
culpable because his money-mak
ing genius has given him such I'M
limited opportunities of doing
good.
Yes, he is a human cash regis

bargains during all his business
career, and he is still.

Snakeskin In a Birds Nest.

The great crested fycatcher chooses
for it's nesting place a sheltered hollow
Dough or the abandoned excavation
made by the golden winged wood
pecker His architecture is peculiar
on account of the unusual materials he
uses. In every nest you will find bit
of dry snakeskin and shreds of soft
inner bark of trees. Among hundreds
of nests examined not one has lacked
these peculiar substances. Natural
lists have tried in vain to discover why
the bit Of dry snakeskin is chosen. 1t
does not seem to be of any use in the
structure of the nest, and quite often
it lies loosely on the outer rim or care
lessly set into the extreme bottom.
Possibly the fycatcher regards it as
a choice bit Of Ornamentation.
