After thorough inspection we

There was no need of my entering the
closet more than once month unless
something got out of order, but while
I was eating dinner at G O'Clock feel

rose suddenly and proceeded to the

My collection of coins and stamps
was in room by itself next to this
closet, and the door was never locked

the sitting room the treasure room was
almost unguarded- The window by
which Mr.. Jackson would enter looked
out upon a side yard. He could skulk
along by the shrubbery and escape be-

1t was SchopeBhauer who said that
insensibiIity to noise was the surest
indication Of low and undeveloped
nervous organization, on which assump-
ton It is certain that we as nation
can hardly be reckoned very far adj
vanced. Certain IT Is that we are
more tolerant under this head than any
other nation processing to call itself
civilized, though / fancy the Ameri-
cans run us pretty close in this respect.
Sir Arthur Sullivan was wont to com
pose I'm the middle Of the night because
he could never obtain quiet at any 9th
err time. and without expecting the Inn
possible or looking for legislation on n
subject which Is merely Of concern to
the community at large. irrespective Of
party issues, surely it Is not too much
to ask that the local authorities shall
put their heads together on this matter
and exercise the powers which they
possess. Mr.. Bernard Shaw once ex-
pressed the opinion that 1t was the
state aided noises" as he called them,
which were the worst offenders-as,
for example. the church bells and the
military bands.-London Truth.

admirers that there is no mystery
whatever about Mr.. ROosevelt's action.
He Is carrying out the same inherent
notions OF personal government that
he has exempliiied ever since he be
came President of the United States.
The Theodore Roosevelt who alb
solved Paul Morton and promoted
Francis b. Loomis is the same Theo-
dore who invented the constructive re-
cess in the interests of another friend
Dr. Leonard Wood.
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
who inspired Pension Order No. IS
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
VINO arbitrarily closed postoffiees
when the conduct of some of the pa
irons of those OF .ees was not seemly.
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
who made war in Panama without
the consent of congress.
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
who undertook 10 make treaties with
out the advice and consent of the
senate.
He is the same Theodore Roosevelt
who after congress had refused to give
MIN power to remodel the Panama
Canal comm ,ssion boasted thar Il re
modelled il anyhow"
Theoretically. Mr. Roosevelt prob
ably prefers constitutional govern
ment TO personal government. but a
constitutional government is often too
slow for man that loves 10 do
things" II is too impersonal 70 suit

der fundamental law.
The times may change, but Mr..
Roosevelt does not change with taem.
His refusal 10 alloy Il court to pass
upon the innocence or guilt of Paul
Morton was consistent with his whole
ldmnistrat en- His promotion OF

TAKE A VACATION.

All Persons who can should take a
summer VACATION Women as well as
men, aud children. too, but the country
IS the place for children Sea bathing
and ocean breezes are invigorating
md attractive, but only comparative
few can enjoy these The mountains
afford an excellent summering place
and the attractiveness of mountain
scenery Is less fieeting than the scenes
and odors of the seaside of the eternal

countless places in which men and
women and more especially children,
can pass the hot summer days with
