OUR PRESIDENTS WIFE,
A CHARACTER SKETCH

Mrs. Roosevelt, the wife of our ma
tion's president, is a woman of devout
nature and religious habit. In Wash
ingtOn she is a regular attendant at
St. Johns Episcopal church-a fact
which has caused it's share Of tongue
wagging. For the president, as
staunchly loyal to his traditions as
Mrs. Roosevelt to hers, attends Grace
Lutheran church. This division of
family worship has troubled certain
minds until sermons have actually
been delivered upon it. That the
frank, open. steadfastness of each to
an early creed is really a convincing
tribute to the others geDtleness and
generosity, and an evidence of a true
unity of feeling, escapes these critics.
In this matter, as in all the others.
Mrs. Roosevelt is untroubled by outcry,
says writer in Harper's Bazar. If,
in her busy life, she should undertake
seriously to consider criticisms, then
the twenty-four hours, none too long
now, would fail utterly for the sum of
her days activities. But she has
knowledge, gentleness, and humor, a
trinity Of virtues proof against the
shafts Of censure. She knows pictures,
and is unmoyed by the clamor of
those who arraign her at the bar of
morality because she restores to It's
place on the White House walls Watts
beautiful "Love and DEATH" which a
purdiSh din caused former admin
istration to banish to the Corcoran
art gallery. She knows society, and
can bear with compoSure the objec-
tions to her well-ordered rule. She
knows boys, and she can smile over
the patriotic uproar that followed her
removal Of some old mahogany from
her sons bedrooms and the Substitu-
tiOn of iron and oak; yet she must
have been trifle amazed at first to
discover that her wise provision for
the saving of national furniture
should be gathered as the vandalism
| of person with no 'feeling" for
ANTIQUES. She knows how to dress
well, and can be amused at the reports
| of her parSimony or extravagance, as
they alternately swing into circula-
tiOn. s.

as they. were returning laden with pei

canoe by themselves. On nearing the
Falls of st. Anthony she fingered in
the rear till the others had landed a
little above the falls.
She then painted herself and children,

her death song, in which she recounted
her formor happy life, with her husband,
when she enjoyed his undivided affec-

friends, alarmed at her imminent peril,
ran to the. shore and begged her to
paddle out of the current before it was
too late, while her parents, renting
their clothing and tearing their hair.
besought her to come to their arms of
love; but all in vain. Her wretched-
ness was complete and must terminate
with her existence! She continued her
course till her canoe was borne
headlong down the roaring cataract and
it and the deserted, heartbroken wife
and the beautiful and innocent children,
were dashed to pieces on the rocks be-
/ low. No traces of the canoe or its oc-
cupants were ever found. Her brothers
avenged her death by Staying the

Chicago, April 29.-In its career Chi
cago has boosted Of many distinctions,
but it has remained for a group Of
women to bring to it the newest dis
tinction-that Of having the only club
of its kind in the world. It is the Ma
tional Longevity club. Mrs, G. V. Nor
gan and Mrs. G. H. Besely are the NOV
ing spirits:
This club proposes to inject new
virus of ideas into Chicago's veins. Its
first meeting was held yesterday in the
Masonic temple, and Mrs. Morgan, the
president, made some interesting re-
marks. She said that If anyone would
think the right kind of thoughts and
get youth in her mind she would get
young in the face and secure a good
parcel of longevity in the bargain.
Mrs. Morgan said those busy little
molecules Of which the body is com
posed. were changing our bodies and
giving us a new one every year.
The mistake people made, she said,
was not taking advantage of this
change, and changing their minds with
new thoughts, which meant new life.
New ideals and conceptions, she main
tanned, would make us look younger.
The purpose of the club is to define
! the spiritual body, and conform to the
laws Of health thru a mental process
thus gaining longevity. It will en-.
deavor to organize similar clubs all over
the country.

Faribault, Mimi, April 29.-Lyman
Baird, as receiver of the First National
bank, has brought suit in the district
court against John Hutchinson, presi-
dent of the Faribault Furniture COM
pany, to collect $4,000 note given
The bank. This is a test case and on
the decision important issues depend.
The note is one of several accom-
mediation notes given to the bank at
the solicitation Of its president, T. B.
Clement. Mr.. Hutchinson received no
consideration. With other like notes
it was used by Mr.. Clement to pad the
assets when the bank examiner made
his inspections. The makers supposed
the notes were for merely temporary
use and had long ago been retired or
destroyed. Instead Mr.. Clement had
regularly Endorsed them, indicating that
interest had been paid.
The suit will probably be tried be
fore the Judge Of another JUDICIAL dis,
trict, as the Judge Of this district was

one which for years will confront the
Faribault court, as the failure IS GER
tain to result in much litigation.

The deposltors are becoming very
Impatient at the delay of the receiver s
supplemental statement. They com
plain that they know no more now than
they did four months ago. Mr.. BAIRD
has sent voluminous reports to the de-
partment at Washington setting out
very fully the condition of the bank s
affairs. The depositors cannot under
stand why they should not be kept IN

Compromise Is Possible.
Several consultations among the di
rectors have given rise to the report
that they are about to submit an ohe1
of compromise to the depositors. MI
Baird has more than once intimated tt
the directors that they cannot hope tt
escape all responsibility, and that the
government will insist on fully enfore
ing the law so far as it relates to thel1
liability. The fact that they, are will

municated to the chairman of the de de
