Editor Henry Watterson makes
the following pertinent comment on
President Roosevelt:
THE South has wandered forty
years through a wilderness Of sec
tionalism for this vision of the
promised land of perfect nationality
II has longed for some Messiah of
patriotism and brotherhood to rise
in the North and to reach out to it
the hand of equality having a heart
in it. To Theodore Roosevelt this
happy lot has fallen; and having
fought him like a man, the South
sends the memory Of all frictions to
the rear and greets and acclaims him
as a klnsman. Though we differ to-
morrow, never again shall there be
from us acerbity Of thought or speech
To-day at least shall be given TO the
fellowship Of manhood, and to the
unity and glory of our country"

Some one has said that when God
made the Southern girl, HE sent His
angel messengers throughout all the
star-strewn realms Of space to gath
er all there was Of beauty and bright
ness Of enchantment, Of glam0r.
When those angels returned from
their harvesting Of beauty and threw
down their glittering burden at His
feet lie began in their wondering
presence the work Of fashioning the
Southern girl. He wrought with
the gold and the CLEAN Of the stars,
shifting glories Of the rainbow hues
and the pallid silver of a Southern
moon. He wrought with the Grim
son which swooned in the roses
rubbed heart, with the pure, sweet
snow which CLEANS from the lily's
petals and fires and flames which
flash and leap from jewels depth.
Then glancing deep into His own
bosom He took Of the love which
there like some rare pearl
beneath the wind kissed waves of a
sea, thrilled this into the
form he was fashioning and all of
heaven yelled its face, for lol He
had wrought the Southern girl"

SAYS HE HAS A DUAL NATURE
An Alleged Assassin Pleads That He
is a DIR. JeckI and Mr.. Hyde
in Real Life.

Somerville, N. j., May 16.-George
H. wood, on trial for the murder of
George Williams near Watching, N.
j., says he is a DR.. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde in real life.
He does not deny killing Williams.
He says simply that he has a duel per-
sonality-that, in his better form he
knows nothing of his deeds when the
spell of evil is on him.
Lawyers say his plea is unique in
the history of criminology. 1t is to re
advanced as o as the jury is inn
paneled, in his attorneys opening
statement. What evidence will be Of
fered in its support the lawyers for
the defense decline as yet to say.
Williams, a merchant at Watching,
started one day last winter to drive
with a stranger to a farmhouse near
town. A few hours after his depart
ure he was found dead in his sleigh,
with a bullet in his brain. Wood was
arrested and identified as the man
who accompanied him from Wat
chung. At the time of his arrest he
professed that for three days his mind
had been q blank and that he had no
idea what he had done.

Night for Brain Work.

Here now is a college professor who
tells his students that the old adage OF
"early to bed and early to rise" is out
of date and untrue, so far at least as
the last blessing it promises us is con-
cerned. His thesis is that the time
honOred aphorism only applied to the
elder days when the shades of night
we're only to be dispelled by a farthing
candle or an ill-smelling whale-oil lamp
but in these joyous latter days-or
nights-of luminous kerosene and the
lncandescent mantle or the clever little
electric bulb, the situation is altogeth-
er changed; that the night hours are
the true time for study and mental eff
fort; that the faculties are then more
keen and wide-awake, the soul more
open to the inspiration of genius; in
short, that the morning is no time for
brain work at all.

acquired a reputation as a stern and
vigorous official, was appointed to re-
