WHERE THE PRESIDENT Is
 VOTING

The heart of a boy beats in the breast
 of Theodore Roosevelt, and he relishes
 with juvenile joy situations that usual-
 ly afford pleasure to thoughtless and
 care free adolescence.
 It is no uncommon thing for him to outwalk some secret service man, put on his trail for protection and, turning a corner, to meet him after while with a cordial and seemingly innocent "Hello!''
 When a crack British regiment was in Washington not long ago the president invited several of the officers to ride with him on horseback through the mud. He led them such chase that their natty, showy uniforms were badly |spattered. They kept up with him, of course, for British officers are not made |of sugar, thereby, winning his admira- |tion, but in nowise abating the boyish delight which he took in the chase that he had given them and it's inno- |cently disastrous effects.
 A similar story is told of the president land MT. Root, late secretary of war. There had been an engagement to ride, but the day being rainy, the president |sent word, in MT. Foraker's hearing, "Tell Root that it's too wet to ride, but if he will put on his old clothes we'll take a tramp in the mud" upon which MT. Foraker exclaimed devoutly, Thank God, I'm not member of this administration" = George Horton, in lThe Reader.

BATTLING FoR A PIPE LINE.

Coming to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western the promoters of in in dependent pipe line to the sea decided to test their position by laying a pipe. It was promptly torn up. A farm over which the railroad passed was then pur- chased and preparations made to lay a pipe in a roadway under the tracks. As this road was some seventeen feet below the rails, any claim that there was possible danger from the oil seem ed feeble. Knowing that the point was watched, MT. Emery tried strategy. Taking fifty men with him he went in the night to the culvert under which he meant to cross, laid his pipes four feet under ground, fastened them down with heavy timbers, piled rocks on them, an- chored them with chains, established a camp on each side of the track, and prepared for war. They soon had it.. First with a body of railroad men arm ed with picks and bars who invaded the camp. .1 told the boys" said MT. Emery. in describing the incident to the industrial commission in 1899, Ito take the men by the shoulders and the seat of the pants and take them out and lay them down carefully, which they did" The next day two wrecking cars with 250 men came down the road and charged the camp, but again they were routed The matter was taken by mu- tual agreement to the courts, and, while Mr. Emery was before the justice of the peace, two locomotives were run down and the camp attacked with hot wal ter and coalsi
 By this time the whole countryside was aroused. The unfairness of the thing was so patent that even the rail- road employees engaged in it did not hes- itate to say in excuse of their employ CTS that 1t was the Standard Oil com pany which was at thel bottom of the opposition. As for the inhabitants, they offered any aid they could give. The local Grand Army of the Republic sent forty-eight muskets to the scene of war. Mir. Emery bought eighteen Springfield rifles, the camp was barricaded, and for seven months the pipes were guarded while the courts were deciding the le- gal title to the crossing.-Ida M.

ODD NAMES IN A PENNsSYLvA-
 MIA COURT.

Some oddities in names were brought out in a hearing before Magistrate Fitz- patrick at the Germantown police sta tion few days ago, when Cecil Grant, an Indian boy, who had run away from a farm where he had been employed, was earaigned preparatory to sending him back to the Carlisle school. When asked his name the young bray replied: Black Bull-white mans name Cecil Grant. My fathers name is MT. Skunk and mothers name is Mrs. Skunk, and brothers name is Lame Arm" All this was said in almost one breath, leaving the judge dazd and still graspang for some proper handle by which to ad- dress the ooppr-hued prisoner Paiifa- delphia Rcord.

There were remarks by Colonel Sucher, who said the National guard would respond as did the veter- ans of old in case of need, but hoped there would be no necessity for them to do so.

 65.
 Colonel James told of the formation and object of the Boys brigade and of the lessons of obedience, self-re- spect and loyalty taught the boys. He said the support of the elder people was needed to make the boys pure and noble men and make the future of our country what it should be.

The reward doesn't seem to sbe com mensurate with the labor There is brilliancy, acclaim, praise in extrava-
 gance, sycophantic following-all of that for the little, old man-boy who rides. But he has lost so much, and life for him in it's active moments has been such a carping, racking life that he had paid great price for the pride of his place.

A FRAUD AND THE GUILTY PUB
 TIC


 LIC.
 One of the most typical of the frauds |carried out through the mails was one wherein the receiver of the circular was told that he was entitled to prize which he had won from a magazine called "The Mississippi Valley Planter" !" published by the Mississippi Valley Publishing company.
 The real kernel was the statement that the recipient of the circular was entitled to certain prize which would be shipped on receipt of the freight charges. Tn nearly every case the ad- dress had won premium number seven "a horse and Lilly buggy and harness. value of $275." With equally remark able uniformity, the freight charges were placed at s29.60.
 Never was bubble blown with less actual soap. There never had been such concern as the Mississippi Val ley Publishing company, tor such a publication as .1The Mississippi Valley Planter"
 The fraud order intercepted 500 money orders and number of registered let ters. All these people with the hun dreds who had come before them, were reaching out after valuable prizes which they, in the nature of things, must have known they had never earned or even competed for. "He has mistaken me for someone else, but I'll take the horse and buggy just the sanle,'' must have been the thought which flashed through | hoo dc ic an 11oo co oyat commentary on the wickedness of hu- man nature. The prime swindler simply makes victims of men not unwilling to be the complices.-Leslie's Monthly Magazine.
