What "Lloyd's' Really Is.

How many newspaper readers who
find daily references in the news dis
patches to "Lloyd's" have any clear
idea as to the exact nature Of that
famous British institution?
Perhaps the most Of them have a
vague impression that it is a huge
marine insurance concern, having Il
large measure Of control-unofficia
but real--over the shipping regulations
OF the world. The great corporation
which still retains the name Of its
founder of Elizabethan days and
which has had its headquarters in
the Royal Exchange in London since
1774 has nothing to do as such with
marine insurance or the taking Of
risks and paying of losses, but it's
members have. It is, in fact, a great
maritime exchange, incorporated in re-
cent years by parliament, and it is to
the world of shipping and through it's
members Of marine insurance what the
house Of Rothschild Is to the banking
world.
Aside from the fact that Lloyd's ar
fords mar1se insurance brokers a place
Of meeting with their clients, it's great
function Is the collection, publication
and diffusion Of information with re-
spect to shipping. 1t is the direct out
come of the enterprise Of the keeper
Of London coffee-house. Edward
Lloyd was brought much i'll contact
with seafaring men and merchants,
and his foresight and enterprise led to
has become world famous.

The Presidents Simple Home Lift

The Presidents Simple Home Life.
II was particularly struck with the
simplicity of the home life of the Pres
ident. To one accustomed to viewing
the pomp and ceremony which sur
round the rulers of Europe, there
seems to be something notable in the
entire lack of ostentation in the
Roosevelt family. I was surprised at
Mr.. Roosevelt's habit of inviting to
his private dining table those who are
doing good work in the world, quite
regardless of what their power or so
cial position may be. He looks to the
man himself rather than to his appur-
tenances, and this is a brushing away
of the superf1uities which is rare in
men of his position. In Washington l
saw his boys starting to a public
school, and one Of them did not even
bother to wear a hat. This, of course,
was a small matter, but it impressed
me. In Europe, the children Of a ruler
with not one-tenth of the power Of
Mr.. Roosevelt do not go to school at
all, much less to a public school, They
have a corps of private tutors, and
rarely venture into the streets except
in elaborate equipages.
The observance of complete sim
plicity in his personal and family life
by the President of the United States,
one of the most powerful rulers on
earth, has wholesome influence, not
only upon America, but also upon the
world at large From an interview

Of tie kind in this country In holding
parents responsible for the behavior OF
children. In the first six months OF
1904 Judge Lindsey, Of Denver, sent
thirty fathers to Jail because their
boys were lawbreakers. These fathers
knew the boys were habitual truants,
stole rides on trains and did other dis
orderly things, and failed to discipline
them. But the judge was not so fool
ish as to lock up the fathers during
work days. He sentenced each to a
year In Jail, the year to be made up
Of week ends, from noon on Saturday
till breakfast time on Monday. After
the first week end in Jail he suspended
sentence indefinitely, to give them a
chance to reform the boys-with the
assurance that If the reform failed
they would be reincarcerated.

Careless of Honors.

Pastor Kneipp. the famous discover
er Of the barefoot cure" who was
appointed chamberlain by the pope,
cared little for the honor. He did not
even take the trouble to open the let

first learned of the honor conferred
upon him by the arrival of deputation
at the Woersihofen cloister to congrat-
ulate him. He declined to be adj

suaded to leave his retreat to go to

characteristics Which Make Him q
Great Presiding officer.


Great Presiding officer.
So far as keeping the House In a
good frame of mind Is concerned,
Speaker Joseph Cannon has been the
most successful presiding officer IN
many years. Mr.. Carlisle was cold and
unsympathetic Mr.. Crisp was dmtd
and did not keep his side well in hand.
Mr.. Reed was strong, but his strength
was that of an autocrat. Mr.. Hen
derson was jolly, undignihed, and Ill
fitted for the task. Mr. Cannon may
seem to lack dignity at times, but he
has the absolute respect and devotion
Of the entire House, Democratic as
well as Republican. They regard him
as a sterling figure, and his very rug.
.gedness and hatred of sham appear
to all who come in contact with him.
One of the secrets Of Mr.. Cannon's
success lies in the practice he indulges
In of keeping In close touch with the
House membership. He makes a

The origin Of all crime lies back Of
the quick temper which raised the
hand which held the knife. The origin
of crime lies in thought. A crime Is
the result of a series Of thoughts, the
first Of which may have lodged in the
brain Of an innocent child. Men who
have studied the workings Of the hui
man mind tell US that each thought
makes a track upon the brain. That
the same thought always travels over
the same path. They tell US that the
track deepens as the thought passes
more and more frequently over the
path until the thread-like track be-
comes a deep rut. A wagon track,
light at first, if constantly driven over
becomes rut. If the wheels continue
to pillow into the earth the track Is cut
deeper and deeper until 1t Is impossible
for the wheel to roll out Of the rut I'M
til 1t reaches the end Of the road. 1t Is
thus with the ruts in the brain. When
the path Is cut too deep the thought
must follow the old course, wherever 1t
leads. The rut may lead to theft; to
lying; to murder. Every thought, good
or bad, if permitted to travel again and
again through the mind, leads to some
act, good or bad Great prisons have
been built, but crime still walks among
us. The habituaf wishing to possess
what belongs to another too often
leads to theft. The ever-present wish
to be rid Of one who is hateful too
often leads to murder Strong walls
connot control crime until brick and
mortar can control thought. And
thought is free as the air. It slips
past the guard, it passes through the
keyhole it scorns the grating, it laughs
at walls Of stone, it knows not the ter
ror Of the galloWs. Prisons cannot
save us, the scaffold cannot free us, the
laws cannot protect US from crime.
All, but where the laws are weak, you
are strong. When the walls Of the
prison are fragile you are powerful.
While the hangman's rope cannot
choke the life from crime, you can.
When the desire for the possession Of
what belongs to another comes to you,
turn it out. Instead Of wishing to rid
yourself of one who is hateful wish
yourself higher and better than he.
This thought-path will lead to higher
plane, where the air is rarer and the
sight Is clearer, and the hateful one,
way down at the foot of the mountain
which you have climbed, dare not even
lift his eyes to the heights upon which

life behind prison walls? Man Is more
powerful than the law. We are more
powerful than are the instruments of
law. We can control thought, and
crime begins in thought.

Public land frauds are so persistent
In this country that stronger measures
than ever before will soon have to be
taken by the government against their
perpetrators. The greatest remaining
forests are those on the Pacific coast,
and it Is there where these dishonest
transactions are mainly carried on.
What with timber thieves and the care
less setting of fires by hunters, tour
lists and designing prospectors, wood
lands worth hundreds OF millions of
dollars are in constant peril of incalcul-
able damage. The day should not be
distant when new department of gov
eminent, the department OF forestry,
shall be established, and whose head
shall be a member OF the cabinet. The
department of commerce is highly i'm
