had no stronger supporter OF those poll
icies that are intended to build up the
country and put the army and navy in
high state of efficiency than the Mis-
souri, senator
No man in the senate could be missed
more than Mr.. Cockrell. His has been
familiar figure in that body for 30
years. 1t will seem lonesome without
him.. The picture of this gaunt old Mis-
sourian bending over his desk, scanning
closely every printed bill and document,
has been an interesting one for many
years. Nothing in the way of legisla-
ton escapes his notice, and as an editor
or proof reader of bills and reports he
is without an equal. He will detect a.
FAULTY sentence or an incorrect state
ment where dozen of his colleagues
would pass them over. He studies the
most trivial bill with as much care as
ne devotes to an appropriation of mill
mons OF dollars, and his honest criti-
clsm and investigation of all money
pllls have earned him the title. usually
applied to those who want to hold down
appropriations, of the Watch Dog of
the Treasury" This does not mean,
however, that he is parsimonious, for he
is ready to vote for appropriations for
public improvements and the support OF
the government that would astonish a
less liberal-minded man.
Senator Cockrell is the parsonitica-
ton of the mythical Uncle Sam" He
is tall, lank, and wears the goatee that
always adorns the chin of this national
character. 1t is a sight to see the old
senator stop a street car He
walks out into the middle of the street,
and, stretching out his long arm, works
1t up and down like the signal of 3
railway semaphore until the car Is
brought to stop. He has always lived
frugal life, and while most of his
colleagues in the senate are given to in
dulgence in the good things of life, Mr..
Cockrell ever since entering that body
has made his midday luncheon of two
big red apples. He will go out of the
senate poor man.

RUSSIANS TRUST IN FATE.
Abandonment of the Peas
antry to Chance.

A few years ago was taking coun-
try walk in Kovno. The road lay
through dense forest and the day was
oppressively hot. arrived, at last,
at a crossroad, and sat down under the
shade of the trees to rest, says,a writer
in the St. James's Gazette. A signpost
pointed its two arms down the con-
verging roads. On one of them was
inscribed IA versts to Janova," on the
other, at versts to Shadowa-" Pres
emily the creaking of wheels and the
slow "clop, clop" of horses hoofs on
the road behind reused me- A cart
piled high with tinware was coming
down the road, with the driver perched
on the top of the load.
Good day, brother!" called out, as
the cart with it's sorry horse came
abreast of me. The man returned my
salute, and the horse, glad of any ex-
cuse to rest his weary legs, came to a
stendstill in the middle of the road.
Which way are you going?" asked.
ITO Janova. There is a market
there tomorrow"
But there is also a market in

important place than Janova."

with perfect Indifference.
What have you for sale?"
PLENTY of good tinware, as you can
see, brother. 1 have worked for six
weeks to make this CARLOAD"
We'll, good luck to you and your
tinware," l said, pulling and eating the
berries within reach. will you take
it to Janova or Shadowa?"
The man picked up the bit of cord
which served as reins, and prepared to
go on.
Il shall leave that to my horse" he
answered callously.
The numbering wagon moved off and
finally passed out of sight down the
Janova road, which the horse had elect

OFFICIAL CUP OF COFFEE.
Proper Method of Brewing the BeV-
erage to Be Determined In
Washington.

By direction of the secretary Of aeri-
culture the bureau of plant industry is to
take up at once experiments to deter
mine the best manner in which to brew q
cup of coffee. To this end, says a WASH
lngton report, Il. L. Lewton, specially
trained expert, has been engaged. Tho
view OF the department il that a cup of
coffee is good because of the manner in
which it is brewed, rather than from the
quality of the bean from which the bey-
erage is made. 1t will be appreciated by
all persons acquainted with the art and
mystery of coffee.mal1ing that various con-
ditions, apparently trivial in themselves,
have to be taken into consideration in
producing the beverage.
For instance, in the process Of roasting
the beans may be more or less damaged
by being under or over dons, and the
flavor of the coffee thus impaired to
corresponding degree. Hence the necessity
TOR ideal conditions in roasting. Again, the
effects of water at various temperatures
upon the ground coffee and the proper
period for infusion will, for the first
time in the history of coffee making, be
thoroughly and accurately ascertained.
The retention of caffeine, the active
principle of coffee, to which it owes its
stimulating effects, and the elimination of
the catfeotannic and caffeic acids, which
are not only injurious to health, but COM
municate an unpleasant, bitter taste to
the beverage, will be, of course, the prin-
cipal objects.

the politics of his home state. and it
is argued that he would welcome a
change that would take him out of that
field. He has four years more to serve
of his term and it may be that rather
than surrender the United States sena-
torship to the opposing republican fac
tion of Wisconsin, he will continue to
hold his seat.
President Roosevelt has very high
estimation of Mr.. Spooners legal abil-
ity, and in many ways the latter would
make an ideal attorney general. He
was consulted more frequently perhaps
than any other member of the senate
in the framing of legislation to carry
out the administrations ideas of what
is needed to regulate trusts and corpora
tions. His advice and work were par
ticularly valuable in perfecting the
Panama canal legislation and the ad-
ministration felt confident that after
its provisions had been studied by him
they would stand any test as to their
constitutionality.
If he should leave the senate the lat
ter body would sustain distinct loss.
He is by long odds the best eXtempora-
neous debater on the floor of the senate.
There is not one of the opposition who
can successfully cross swords with him
on any great issue. His mind is per-
feet encyclopedia of constitutional and
legal lore and no statement of his, in
volving a point of law, is questioned
on the spur of the moment. His argu-
ments always send the other lawyers
of the senate to. study their law books,
and it is very rarely that they can con-
troyert his statements. One of the de-
lights in the senate chamber is to have
Senator Tillman. of South Carolina, and
Senator Spooner indulge in running
debate.

MURMURS FROM GROUND.
Strange Sounds Heard for Many Cen.
turies on the Red Sea
Borders.

A singular phenomenon occurs on tho
borders of the Red sea to place called
Nakous, where intermittent underground
sounds haye been heard for an unknown
number of centuries. 1t is situated about
half mile distant from the shore,
whence a long reach of sand ascends rap
idly to height of 300 feet. This reach is
about 800 feet wide and resembles an am
phitheater, being walled by low rocks.
The sounds coming up from the ground
at this place recur at intervals Of about
an hour. They at first resemble low
puT5mur, but ere long there is heard a
loud knocking, somewhat like the strokes
Of bell and which at the end of about
five minutes becomes so strong as to agi-
tate the sand. The explanation of this
curious phenomenon given by the Arabs
is that there is q convent under tho
ground here and that these monks ring
for prayers. So they call it Nakous,
which means a bell.
The Arabs affirm that the noise so
frightens their camels when they hear it
as to FENDER them furious. Philosophers
attribute the sound to suppressed volcanic
action-probably to the bubbling of gas
or vapor underground.

A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton, Ky, Nov. % ISpeciaI)-It has
long been claimed that Diabetes is incur
able, but Mr.. E. J. Thompson, teacher in
the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence
to the contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Dia
betes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
is cured. In statement he makes regard
ing his cure Mr.. Thompson says:
Il was troubled with my kidneys for
more than two years and was treated by
two of the best doctors in this part of the
state. They claimed 1 had Diabetes and
there was little to be done for me. Then
l started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and
what they did for me was wonderful. 1t
is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills
that am now enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that Dia-
betes is incurable. But Diabetes is kid.
ney, disease and the kidney disease that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet
to be discovered.

anyone, was not slow to appreciate the
fact that this expression of his was
being used by the satirists and funny
men in the public press and he trained
himself to refrain from it. Nowadays
when visitors offer their congratula-
tons and speak of the wonderful tri-
umph OF the election, Mr.. Roosevelt
smiles as broadly as ever, but says:
L am very, very happy over the re-
suit. 1t was most gratifying, most
gratifying" He carefully avoids say
ing that he is delighted" as that
might convey the impression that he
regarded the result of the election as
personal triumph, which he does not.
The president is constantly told by his
admirers that it was personal tri-
umph, but he is more inclined to at
ttribute it to vote of confidence by the
people in the principles of the party
which he represents and in the admin
istration which was started by McKin-
ley and which he has faithfully en-
deavored to carry out on the Mckinley
lines.
While the president will take the oath
of Office anew on the 4th of March next
without, he says, single pledge polit-
ical or otherwise, to redeem, it does
not mean that he will depart from his
past political policy. He is firm be-
lever in party organization and he will
do, as he has done in the past, what
he can to strengthen the republican or
ganization in legitimate way. He pro-
poses to consult party leaders, particu-
larly senators and congressman, on all
federal appointments, his only require
ment of them being that they present
to him high grade candidates for Office
and men who will fill federal positions
with honor and ability.

WOMEN LOVE NoToRIETY.
Some Who Stop at Nothing to Attract
the Attention of the
Public.

"There are half dozen women in this
town." said a headquarters detective,
reports New York exchange, who
each became notorious in some
tragedy and each of them can be relied
upon to bring themselves to the public
attention about every so often, There
is one who first came into the public eye
number of years ago in connection
with murder for which her companion,
a famous crook, paid the penalty at Sing
Sing; there is another who was arrest
ed accused OF murder and after a SEN
sational trial was acquitted; still an
other was mixed up in a tragedy in
Wall street and only escaped punish
ment after three disagreements of juries
impaneled to try her All of these
women, and number more that l can
mention, might have left New York, as
sumed new names and been forgotten,
but on the contrary the notoriety they
gained seems to have fascinated them,
and about once a year they are mixed
up in some row or quarrel that gets
their names into the public print. 1t is
a queer phase of criminology that l
nave never seen explained. We, here at
headquarters, regard these women as
dangerous characters, because we feel
that this hunger for publicity may some
day lead them to commit a serious
crime. They do not realize it, probably.
but we keep close watch on them and
probably know more about them and
their lives than they think we do"
Size of British Empire.
The British empire occupies about
one-tifth of the surface of the habitable
globe, and consists of the United King
dom, with its attendant Islands, and
about 4S dependencies under separate
and independent governments, varying
in size from Canada, which is 80 times
the size of the United Kingdom, to
Gibraltar, the area of which is two
square miles. Thus the area of the Brit
ish empire is 9S times that of the United
Kingdom, while the area Of the self
governing colonies alone is nearly 60
times as large as that of the mother
country.

posed Mr.. Roosevelt during the cam
paign with all the vigor of its editorial
columns, but since the sweep of elec-
ton day it has been descanting upon
the great responsibilities that rest
upon the president, has undertaken to
= advise him as to his duties and has
put out what some were inclined to
regard as a forecast of what the presi-
dent would do on the tariff, currency
and other questions.
The solicitude of this journal and
other newspapers that were particular
ly strong in their attacks upon him
before election is very amusing to the
president He gets little out of pa
thence with them sometimes and ex-
presses wonder that they do not ap-
preciate just how presumptuous they
are. According to their way of think
Ing before election Mr.. Roosevelt was
actuated by anything but patriotic
motives in his public actions and he
was a bad sort of a man to be presi-
dent of the United States. But since
the people by a popular majority of
over 2,000,000 have decided that Mr..
Roosevelt is just about the sort of
American citizen they want to see at
the head of the government, these
newspapers want to come in and run
him and the government too.
Anyone who supposes that the great
majority he received has turned Mr..
Roosevelt's head will be corrected in
his ideas if he calls at the white
house. The genial energetic young
American who has been president for
over three years is just the same to-
day as he was before the election and
the same as he was when he was in
public life 20 years ago.
