however, that if Mr.. Roosevelt had

The Essentials of Success.

A letter published in the New York
Herald" prOpounds the question
whether talent, perseverance or luck
is most valuable in life. This would
be a good problem for the discussion
of a debating society. It admits of
almost as many arguments as the
question whether people should marry
early or late.
There are optimists who profess
a disbelief in luck as a factor in hui
man events. They are certain that
talents and perseverance do it all.
and that every man gets lust what
he deserves in the end. They are
fond Of quoting the story about the
two frogs who fell into the milk. one
being drowned, while the other kick

butter. Yet even here luck had some

obstacle to overcome. but in cases
where success has been achieved in

tunity are trio which have downed
many a man who might have over

if only to protect the various people
now doing missionary work among
the natives. would it not be best to
allow the officers in charge of that
army to run it as they see fit?
II is TO the interest of these officers
to keep the men in as good physical
condition as possible. They say that
under the canteen system the men
are in better physical condition than
without the 'canteen. There is no
possible reason for their making this
assertion if it is not true. Some of

The SloCum Report.

The report on the Slocum disaster
will be ready next month, and will
contain the reports of the reinspec-
ton of various vessels in New York
harboT. 1t may seem to many people
that this report has been slow in
coming, but it should be remembered
that if the reinspection was to be
anything but perfunctory and careless
IL was bound to take time Hereto
fore. we are told, the average inspec-
tor has had to go over some three
or four dozen vessels a day, which
effectually precluded anything like
thorough inspection of any one of
them. The inspection of the Grand
Republic" which took place some
time ago was not perfunctory, and
resulted in the discovery of some
startling facts. 1t is clear that the
inspection of vessels is worse than
useless unless time is given to ex-
anime them thoroughly. II is also
easy to see that thorough inspection
at the beginning will make the in
spector's work much easier. A boat
properly constructed, with iron work
where iron should be, and well-made
life-rafts and life-preservers, will not
need to be overhauled every few
weeks to keep it in order. Where
owners give evidence of a disposition
to evade the law, however, they will
bear watching, and when the inspec-
tor finds on an excursion steamer

JUDGE RILEY A MAN
OF PERSONAL FOIBL ES
Designated as Citizen of Pennsylvania Avenue Formerly
OF Virginia"-A Gentleman Of the Old Regime.

Judge Riley, Of Pennsylvania Avenue.
formerly Of Virginia" was the manner
in which the late Judge William c..
Riley has been designated for some
time BY men about town who know the
familiar faces which may be seen daily
in the barrOoms along Pennsylvania
Avenue. between Tenth and Fourteenth
Streets.
Although Judge Riley has known but
little prosperity since his recall from
Porto Cabello, where he served as Unit
ed States consul until 1893, he was
usually able TO find a friend about hotel
Hobbies OF saloons who would treat him
to a drink or a meal.
A few months ago a story was told
about the judges "xperience in the bar
OF a well known hotel. Although the
NirEinian's coat was shiny and his hat
was badly slouched. he pushed up to the
par with great gusto and ordered a mint
julep. The bartender knew the jJdge
wei. and gave him al inquiring look
before beginning to mix the drink.
Resorted to Anger.
This angered the judge. Il have plen-
~ OF money" he exclaimed, shaking a
little change in his trousers pocket and

school.
''An right. pay US that bill you owe
us then. I'm glad to hear you have so
much money. Judge" the bartender re-
piled.
That's Just the way with me when
I'm in liquor" the Judge replied apollo
getically. Il always imagine I'm rich"
Then the old man counted out the
price Of the drink IN small silver and
handed IL TO the barkeeper, who inme-
diately mixed the mint julep and gave
1t to the thirsty old man.
1t was Judge Riley's custom 10 stop at
the leading hotels in Washington when
shone on him. and in the
days Of his adversely he never failed 10
make use Of the local hotel lobbies and
always tried 10 keep up appearances. In
spite OF his frayed Prince Albert coat
and slouched felt hat, he was able to
maintain an air of respectability, and
his tongue lost none Of its silver. 1t
was his practice to call at the hotel
desks and ask for mail for Judge Will

Of a millionaire patron.

We're often approached by him for small

ship.
Il am invited out to dinner tonight
but all my laundry is in the hands OF a
Chinaman. and I cant accept the IN
vitation unless I have a quarter TO get

judge addressed one morning 10 one of
these friends
The man refused the Virginian by an
nouncing that he had no money with
him The judge apologized profusely.
In few minutes the judges friend re-
pented OF his hard-heartedness and put
a dollar in an envelope, which he ad-
dressed TO Judge Riley and left with
the clerk.
Called for His Mail.
In little while the Judge made his
regular call for mail, and was staggered
by having the letter handed to him.
Meantime the generous friend also ap-
preached the desk to watch the Judge
open the letter. With great flourish the
old man tore open the letter and pulled
out the dollar and a sheet of paper in
closing It, He pretend 81 20 read some
thing on the paper and then turned to
the giver with:

sent me that has owed me SIS for ten

True Blue Republican.
Judge Riley was always true to the
Republican party in spite OF the failure
OF party leaders TO provide him with a
position in his declining years, and he
never despaired OF finding employment
somewhere in the Government service.
He called frequently at the State De-
partment and was always pressing his
claims ct the White House. He ap-
preached officials with great pomp and
generally applied for places which Of
fered high salaries.
On one Of his last visits to the White
House he seemed somewhat broken in
spirit. When refused admission to the
offices Of the President and his private
secretary. Judge Riley showed slight
anger. He seemed spirit broken, and
after some hesitation asked Captain
Loeffier II he thought 1t would be pos
sible for him TO get a position as door
keeper or messenger at the White
House.
