NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
Special Washington Correspondence.

The reports of general sagging in
business which reach this city, while un-
dOubtefly exaggerated, cause some I'M
eaSiHess in political CIRCLES. There is
,vapat Mr.. Samuel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation Of Labor, ellis
a ''re,IctiOah," quite natural after the high
tide of prosperity. He keeps in touch
with labor, and feels sure that the gen
eral prosperity viii Continue, and that
amy thing like Il panic is many years Off
THAT his views Inlve weight is evident
from the fact that the President invited
him to the W2ate House yesterday for
a prolonged conference. During the past
year this COUNTRY has sustained greit anna
extraordinary Financial losses by food,
fire, am unusually severe winter, the cot
ton boil weevil and otfrer pests, the falN-
ing off of imports, the dram upon gold
and tIIcrSIneruus labor troubles THESE
Things combined, which are neither polit-
feaA nor partizan, have produced a cutui6-
ton of serious huttshtfulneSs on tire Varr
of political managers. But, as Senator
Foraker. of Ohio, who is in this city,
says, there are no fundamental differ
eness among Republicans, and President
Roosevelt is popular. His views ON pub
lie questions ARE well known. The seat-
son is propitious for good crops, and
there should be no falling off in produc-
don. The greatest liability is the posi-
bilftits of rEpe Industrial and labor ssitua-
ton.

And view the scenes of other days
Through mis1ts of fa.ling tears;
And while | watch the veterans march
With falttTing step and slow,

OF forty years ago.
And backward glide the feeting days
Until | stand once more.
Where Mississippi winds beside

And hear upon the soft spring air
The music sad and low
AS when we heard the funeral march
Some forty years ago.
Still echo back the saddened dirge,
The signs and bitter tears
For comrades missed for vanished foe
Through all the weary years;
And broken ranks of Blue and Gray
In golden halOS glow

A BRAWNY EVANGELIST.
He First whipped n Bully and Then
Brought Him TO Church.


A methodist minister tells the fol-
lowing story about the late Sam Rozel,
the great Virginia evangelist, who in
his day was one of the best known
pulpit orators In the south:
Sam Rozel was a very big man and
had wide reputation for physical
strength. In his college days he came
off the field of combat, usually a cir
cumscribed and secluded area of the
campus, wearing the laurel of victory
on many occasions, and after he be-
came a preacher stories of his phys
ical prowess We're spread far and near
zone day he went to a village to
hold a protracted meeting. The village
blacksmith, who was "a very big man,
and who was recognized, especially
among the tavern habitues, as pugil-
istic wonder, heard about the coming
of Rozel, and the villagers did not fail
to tell him all they had heard about
the size of the parsons arm and the
length of his legs, and of the con-
vincing way he had of closing an ar
gument with his fists.
"All this nettled the smith consid-
erably, so when Rozel reached the
town he sought him out and asked
him to fight.
"Rozel, of course, said he did not
want to fight, but the smith kept on
insisting, and finally Rozel became
angry and agreed to crafty the fel-
low.
"They fought. Rozel literally wiped
up the ground with the big man. When
he had pounded him until the poor,
vanquished bully was gasping hard.
Rozel picked him up and threw him
over a fence.
THE blacksmith had not said a word
since the ARRAY began up to this point.
AS he rolled over on the other side of
the fence, however, he called out:
"'Say, parson, kindly throw my
horse over too. I'm going away
"But Rozel followed the man to his
home, and had him sitting on a front
bench at the meeting that same night
singing louder than any one else."-

were killed in the fierce tornado
which overwhelmed the Twin Cities,
and which wrought devastation in
other parts of the state. The aggre-

placed at 100000 OF this amount
st. Paul suffered to the extent of
about 100000 Minneapolis damage
is estimated at $1,5OO,OOO, while in the
outside districts it is feared that $780,
600 will not cover the damage done
to crops and farm property.
The storm did great damage at st.
Louis park, manufacturing suburb
situated about six miles from Mime

100000 Three persons were killed
and 25 injured. The dead: Albert
Odhe, aged 80; six year old son Of
Frank Hedges, and an unknown girl,
aged 10.
A courier from Waconi says that
place was visited by a tornado which
devastated the country for miles about
and from the meager reports obtain
able so far four persons were killed
and several injured. The Minneapolis
& st. Louis depot was demolished,
but several persons who had taken
refuge escaped injury.

The Judge sileneed.

In the famous trial of the dean Of st.
Asaph, Mr.. Erskine, the great English
lawyer, put question to the jury rel
alive to the meaning of their verdict.
Mr.. Justice Butler objected to its pro-
priety. The counsel reiterated his ques-
ton and demanded an answer. The
judge again interposed his authority in
these emphatic words:
"Sit down, Mr.. Erskine. Know your
duty or | shall be obliged to make you
know it,"
Mr.. Erskine. with equal warmth, re-
piled: Il know my duty as well as your
lordship knows your duty. l stand
here as the advocate of fellow citi-
zen, and l will not sit down."
The judge was silent, and the advo-
cate persisted in his questions.

A Valuable scranhooI..

To devote scrapbook to one subject
makes it much more interesting and
valuable, and when you begin to gath
er material on any one theme you will
be surprised at the amount which will
come TO hand. Suppose you want to
know all about some famous person,
either in the public eye at present or
some one of past times. From maya
zines and other sources can be collect
ed articles, portraits, perhaps poems
in relation to the subject, etc. When
matter is clipped, the scrapbook maker
may copy it neatly with pen into a
book. The educational value of such
book is something worth while, as
well as the satisfaction OF having gath
cred oneself so much information on a
single subject.

We want to nave a heart-to- heart
talk with you on matter of business.
As You know. we had a break down
In our Office which delayed our issue
for two weeks. We are all right now,
thank the Lord, and can move right
along on our way to fame and fortune
untrammeled, with power behind us
double that of former years. And
there is a great satisfaction in pow
err. in force. II takes these to move or
run any kind of business. And yet
we are not happy, not contented.
There are other things we want and
need in our business to make 1t
more complete success, and more
satisfactory to us. And now we come
TO the point 1t is this: And right
here, dear subscri Der, is where we
want to get in our heart-to-heart
talk with you. 1t appeals to every
man or woman on our list who is
behind on their subscription. IL is not
only you, dear reader, If you are be-
hind in your subscription. to whom
this appeal is made, but there are
about 1900 others who are In the
same boat with you, so you need not
be asham med Of your company. In this
list we have owing to US sums any
where from 81 to $40. Now, just take 1t
home to yourself and think what 1t
amounts to and how happy we would
be IL every man or woman would sit
right down and send Us a check or
money order for the amount. Don t
you see what il would amount tor
And there is not man or woman
who can't comply with our request If
they make the effort. Are we making
an unreasonable appeal, are we ask
ing for something that Is not justly
due usl 1t is every man s right, and
this great Republic of ours bears us
out in it, to demand what is justly
due him. Why do we make this
personal appeal? Simply for the rea-
son that we need the money to pay
that we owe. Our promise is out.
We must meet it. If we don't meet II
we lose our credit and standing In
the business world. And you know a
mans credit and standing is more
valuable than money. We hope our
subscri bers understand u.s. We hope
further that you VIII act and act
promptly. Don't wait for us to make
a personal appeal or write you a per-
sonal letter You can tell by glanc-
ing at the label pasted on the paper

horrible and sad. In a gaunt land
