after ALL it was just as nice. without
any responsibility or expense.

back, and stayed at some delightful
places. BY timing our hours, we found

pretty country these trolley roads run
through. Some of it dense woods,
then on the uplands the fine views of
the blue Sound waters, with the in
Vulnerable boats glistening Whitley in
the sunshine, and then through pretty
villages and again out into the open
farm country, with the well titled
fields and grazing animals, all SO inter-
esting and completely new. One gets
no idea of it all from a railroad train.
I never appreciated before how much
comfort and prosperity there are in
our own country. 1t seems never end
ing. Our plan was always to start
away from the inn or farmhouse where
we spent the night about 10 O'Clock, in
which way we avoided the crowd of
working people that use the trolleys in
the early morning. On good days we
would take our luncheon with us. and
when we came to some particularly
pretty spot we would stop the car and
get out and have a picnic in the near
by woods. We took two kodaks with
US, and you would be astonished to see
what wild bits of scenery we found to
photograph right on the route of our
trolley. When the days were very hot,
we would wait over in some cool spot.

CHANGING AMERICAN TONGUE.

From the St Louis Globe-Democrat.
Who or what is responsible for a
new kind of pronunciation of English
which is heard at the fair? Is it
Southern or Southwestern or South
eastern? For investigation has gone
far enough to make sure that it is not
Northern or Western, and the Eastern
ers have so long been set in their ac-
cent and vernacular that there is no
mistsking them. But when you hear
some one calling the sunken garden
the sunken gordon" what new diff
ferentiation of the mother tongue have
we among US?
Not alone this example, but every
"ah" sound of "a" has been broadened
until we hear "stor' for star" dor"
for bar" and ladies and gentlemen
beg your "pawdon, instead of your
pardon, or even "pahdon," as they do
in Boston and New York. The new
pronunciation is not unpleasant; in
many ears it is more agreeable than
that prolonged utterance of star" as
if it were "stah-ur," which New York
theater managers call that disagree
able Western burr" and amputate as
quickly as possible from the speech
of the promising pupils who eventual
ly bloom into famous 'stahs' instead
of 'stah-urs," as they would have pro-
nounced it when they first came up out
of the great central part of the coun-
try, the mother of many of the nations
great But what of "stor"? In what
state or region is it's source? Where
is the fountain-head of "pawdon" for
pardon and "hawmony" for harmony?
The philologists must needs do some
exploring. This is getting to be a
great country and most diversified

And the June bugs that bin and

MIR. RoosEvELT,s LETTER.

Mr.. Roosevelt's letter of acceptance,
liberal extracts from which we publish
this morning, is remarkable for it's
length, and for the fact that he prac-
tically comedies that he is the chief
issue OF the campaign. 1t is pretty
nearly as long as a presidential mes
sage, and about every subject that is
likely to receive much attention dur
ing the campaign is discussed.
Mr.. Roosevelt has no doubt whatever
that all of his acts since he has been
President are we'll within his constitu-
tional limitations, and are above legiti-
mate criticism. His action in the Pan
anna affair. his order increasing the
pension burden, his interference in the
anthracite coal strike, his course in the
Northern Securities case and, in fact,
all other acts of his administration
which have been the subject of COM
ment were, in his opinion, just what
they should have been. He doesn't
find that he has done anything since
he has been President that he wouldn't
do again under like circumstances.
And he is certain that the policies
of his party relative to the Philippines,
the tariff, the trusts, reciprocity, the
currency all are right. According
to this letter there was never a Pres-
dent that came so near doing what
was right and for the best interests
of the country as he does, and never a
rt,
minister the government as the Repub-
lican party.
The impression the letter is calcu-
lated to make is that the Republican
party ought to be kept in power for
ever, and that just such a man as he
is ought always to be the occupant of
the White House.
He doesn't, of course find anything
that is good in the Democratic party
or anything to commend in its policies
From what he says he is inclined to
doubt that it would do anything the
people want done. if given a chance
or that it is united on any one ques-
ton.
Inc IetteF mas tne naVor OF Roose-
veltism from beginning to end. Per-
haps it will give pleasure to those of
his admirers who have time and incli-
nation to read all of it, but it is alto
gether too long to be an effective cam
paign document and is too labored a
defense of his administration and his
party to do his cause much good.

The Pope's watch.

The story of the watch which Pope
Plus carries is we'll worth telling, says
the Springfield Republican. One of the
cardinals was at the Vatican recent
ly, and while talking with the Pope,
Plus took his watch from his pocket
to see what time it was. The cardinal
noticed that the timepiece was a cheap
nickel affair with an old shoestring at
tached to it in place of chain. The
cardinal drew his own costly chrono-
meter from his pocket and asked the
Pope to take 1t as a gift, and give him
the nickel one. Then the Pope's face
lit up with one of those smiles which,
if one has been fortunate enough to
see, can never be forgotten, and Said
that the old watch was quite good
enough for him He added that 1t
was given to him when lad by his
mother. who saved up her hard-earned
coppers until she could buy it. but
there was no money left for a chain.
One Of his sisters gave him the shoe
string for that, and he was so pleased
with his gift that he promised his
mother he would carry it as long as it
kept time. The Pope has never had
another watch, and says that he never
will
