True Greatness.

True greatness, first of all, is a
thing of the heart. 1t is all alive with
robust and generous sympathies. 1t
Is neither behind it's age nor too far
before it. 1t is up with its age, and
ahead of 1t only just so far as to be
able to lead its march. 1t cannot
slumber, for activity is a necessity OF
it's existence. 1t is no reservoir, but
a fountain.-Presiden Roosevelt

GERMANY'S MEAT FAMINE
Horse Flesh Has Risen in Price and
Dog is Unobtainable'
Mupicipal Authorities at Their Wits Emo
Using Rabbit and Sea Fish
Ms q Last Resort.

Berlin.-The meat famine in Ger
many has reached 4 crisis.
Horseaesh has risen in price. and
dogfesh is no longer o%btainable.
Many municipalities have begun buy
ing carloads of sea fish at the coast
towns and selling them at cost price to
their citizens. This G%xpedient was
first adopted at Solingen. but has now
spread to various W~estphaliap cities.
to Posen and even to Bavarian towns.
Reports from all parts of the country
describe measures that are being taken
to abate the famine. at EiSenbach a
conference of the municipal authorities
in that region decided to establish reg
ular rabbit markets, and in the, Munich
public markets also rabbit stalls have
been opened.
At a conference between the Berlin
Town Council and the Burgomasters OF
the important cities it was voted to
appeal directly to Chancellor Won Bue-
low. and through him, to the Emperor.
to remove the restrictions that close the
frontiers against Russian cattle and
American canned meats.
The latest Government statistics
prove that the prices Of meats are
still rising. The September report
shows that some kinds rose during the
month a cent and a half a pound. The
Price of meat has risen nearly fifty per
cent. in the past year.

An Intelligent Dog.

The owner Of an old sheepdog tells
o. good story of his intelligence.
This eoolie has been much annoyed
by the conduct of q neighbor's dog,
which is, too lazy to bury bones for his
OWL consumption, but greatly enjoys
unearthing the treasures Of Others.
When Dash had been deprived Of sew
eral choice stores In this way he evil
IDENTITY meditated over the vexing mat
ter, and at last q bright idea came to
him.
One day after dinner, when the
neighbours dog was out Of the way,
Dash began to dig q hole not far from
where his master sat watching him,
and in it ne deposited a big and still
eminently desirable bone. Then he
covered it we'll with earth, disappeared
for a moment. and came trotting back
with a small bone. which had seen its
best and second-best days. but was
still good enough, in Dash's opinion,
for a thief. This bone he had laid on
the earth which hid the big one, and
scraped the earth yer it with elab-
crate care.
His master had the satisfaction OF
knowing that the ruse was successful.
for the next morning he saw the thief
hastily leaving the premises with a
small bone in his mouth. Later in the
Cay Dash reaped the reward of his
wisdom as he sat munching the big
bone at his leisure.-Scottish Amerl-
p9n.

how Church Bells Are Male.

"No silver is used in church bells"
said the bell founder. People claim
there is, but I have assayed many an
old bell that came here to be broken
up, and never an ounce Of silver did I
find in one of them.
"For the best bells we use old can

tons Of old cannon from Spain.
"These two moulds, the core and the

the inner mould; it has the exact

PRESIDENT ON FOOTBALL
He Summons University Advisers
and Asks Them to Agitate.
BRUTALITY MUST BE ELM MATED

Coaches in Conference at the White
House-Discussion Lasts Several Hours
Yale, Harvard and Princeton Repre-
sented by Leading Athletic Advisers
Mr.. Roosevelt Warns Big Colleges.
Wd arlington, D. C.-Having ended
the Hr in the Ear East, grappled with
the railroad rate question and made his
position clear, prepared for his tour of
the South, and settled the attitude Of
the administration toward Senator For
aker, President Roosevelt took up an
other question Of vital interest to the
American people. He started a cam
paign for reform in football.
Around his table at luncheon were
gathered the men who rule the game,
DR.. D. H. Nichols and w. T. Reid, Of
Harvard; Arthur. Il. Hillebrand and
John B. Fine, Of Princeton, and Walter
Camp and John Owsley, of Yale. They
are athletic advisers Of their universe
ties, and John B. Fine and Walter
Camp are members Of the Rules Com
mittee of the Intercollegiate Football
Association
The President has some personal in
terest in the game aside from his gen.
eral interest in athletics, for his son
has entered the freshman squad at
Harvard and has already had cause to
know how rough the sport may be, hav-
ing received a black eye and other
bruises in scrimmages.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in beginning his talk
to his guests, told them that he liked
the game, but he felt that something
should be done to reform the rules,
especially in the interest of fair play
and the Encouragement of rough play,
and asked them to undertake to start
a movement to that end.
Public sentiment is yearly growing
stronger against the brutality Of the
game, he declared, and the death Of a
man in order to win a game will result
sooner or later in universal condemna-
ton of it as a part of college athletics.
The Presidents sentiments and coun-
sci were responded to with hearty ap-
proyal, his guests thanking him for
his initiative in the matter and prom
Using their support to his ideas.
The President was especially glad to
see his old friend Camp. who gradu-
ated from Yale in 1880, which was the
Presidents year at Harvard. The two
became acquainted in the athletic con-
tests between the universities then,
and have kept up the friendship ever
since.
This is not the first time that Mr..
Roosevelt has taken a hand in inter-
collegiate athletics. When he was
Police Commissioner Of New York, in
1896, he patched up a truce between
Yale and Harvard, and brought about
an agreement that has held good ever
since.
Not a little significance is given to
the incident at the White House be-
cause of the persistent rumors that
after leaving the White House Mr..
Roosevelt will become President OF
Harvard.

Speaker Of the Assembly. died at his
home here. He was taken i'll a short
time ago with what seemed to be APP
pendicitis. Simple methods seemed
to relieve the trouble, and it was
thought at first that an operation
would be unnecessary. Mr.. Nixon
seemed to be improving, when a sud-
den turn for the worse came. An OPP
Grafton was performed, and he seemed
to rally from it. Since the operation
his recovery has been retarded on Y by
the unwillingness Of the wound to leal.
After a consultation, an anaestletic
was administered. and the wound was
reopened. He did not rally from the
second operation.
Gathered at the bedside were Mrs.
Nixon and two of her children. One
son was absent. he was at school at
Cornwall-on-the-Hudson.
Samuel Frederick Nixon was born
in West1eld forty-fve years ago. His
father. Samuel Nixon. owned a large
farm outside the village and conducted

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Perry Wheeler, a
middle-aged farmer. who three months
ago fed to Michigan after an unsuc-
cessful attempt to kill his wife, re-
turned secretly and lay in wait for
many hours until the farmhouse, which
Is near Wyalusing, was opened and he
saw Mrs. Wheeler in the kitchen.
Then he rushed in, shot her dead
with q single shot and sent a bullet
into his own head, dying three hours
later. The Wheelers had a series OF
quarrels three months ago which cul-
minated in the husbands attempt to
shoot his wife. A son saved her life,
took the gun away from Wheeler and
sent for a constable. Wheeler fed be-
fore the constable arrived and went to
Michigan, where he had relatives.
For several weeks Mrs. Wheeler.
fearing that he would return and kill
her, guarded herself carefully, but
finally grew to believe that her hus.
band would remain away and relaxed
