Man is little cuss and hasn't long
to stay; he flies around and makes a
fuss and then he hikes away. Some
men imagine they are great and try
to tear up Jack, but each one meets
the same old fate and trots the same
old track. Great Caesar died and
turned to clay and so has Cicero, and
Alexander's gone the way the rest of
us must go. The sages, heroes, poets,
all the men of wealth and worth, into
an open grave must fall and crumble
back to earth. Then let's not join
the mad affray and struggle like the
deuce, and agonize our life-away, for
really, what's the use? Let's live
and love and sing the while, and
work some now and then, and give
to everyone a smile that cheers the
hearts of men. And whether we are
crowned with flowers or chilled with
winter SHOWS, with happiness let's
fill the house ere we turn mp oul
toes. *.

MORGAN HAD CONFERENCE
WITH THE PRESIDENT

Oyster Bay, Aug, 2o-J. Pierpont
Morgan had an extended conference
with President Roosevelt. The con-
ference related to matters pertaining
to the Canton nHankow railroad in
China and its probable disposition by
the present owner, the American China
Development Co. The firm of J. P.
Morgan & Co., practically controls the
road and its concessions.
Mr.. Morgan visited the president
several weeks ago on mission similar
to that of today. Subsequently Sir
Lhentung LANG Cheng. the Chinese
minister, had a conference with the
president on the same subject No
definite disclosures were made regard
ing either conference
The Chinese government has propos-
ed to the America China Development
Co. that it sell the road and its CON
cessions to China, the price originally
regarded as close to the precise figures.

City, the Ameican China Development
Co. being a New Jersey corporation,
and it is likely that at that meeting the
question of the disposition of the road
will be determined definitely.
Mr.. Morgan arrived in Oyster Bay
on his steam yacht Corsair shortly be-
fore 1 o'clock this afternoon. Accom-
panied by a man whose name was not
obtainable. He was conveyed in
launch to the pier and thence in one
Of the presidents carriages to Saga
more Hill. There Mr.. Morgan and his
friend were luncheon guests OF the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt. 1t can
be said positively that the conference
had no relation to the pending peace ne
gotiations, although that subject may
have been referred to in the course Of
the conversation.

OHIO FARMERS CHARGED
WITH USING DYNAMITE

Z St Mary's, O., Aug. 2o.-As the re-
suit of an official investigation of two
attempts to blow lip an immense reser-
yoir near here during the past year two
arrests were made and more are expect
ed. Those against whom warrants were
issued are farmers living near the reser-
yolr. Riley Cotton, of Celina, charged
with having blown UP bulkhead In an
attempt to destroy the reservoir, and
Parker Wright, whose home is on the
south side Of the reservoir, accused of
being an accomplice, were arrested to-
day and taken before the prosecuting
attorney at Wapakoneta. The farmers
are accused of having guilty knowledge
of the two attempts 70 release the water
in the big pond. The FIRST attempt to
blow out the bulkhead gates was made,
on the night of Aug 23, 1904, when d
charge of dynamite under the top beam
.of the south gate tore away the beam
and part of the upper post to which the
gate is hinged, badly shattering the
abutments and releasing one of the
Wickets from it's fastenings
A On the night Of May Ii, 1905, heavy
charge Of dynamite was placed III the
lock at the base Of the lower north
gate. The damage to the lock was even
greater than the first attempt, the gate
being blown clear out Of the lock. The
masonry Of the south wall was COM
pletely shattered If the wall had been
olit it would have released an immense
volume of water and drained the largest
artificial body of water iii the world.
