Washington. Nov 20 Repres enta
Itve j. Van Vechten Olcott, of New
York, had two sessions, lasting -four
hours, today, with The President, re
garding the Craftsmanship of the New
York Republican County Committee
He argued that if the President could
not support his candidacy he at least
should not interfere in behalf of Rep,
resentative Herbert Parsons.
The President saw Mr.. Olcott at 10

entered fully into the discussion Of the
political situation in New York City
he sent for Secretary Roof, who hur
ried over
During that three hours we were
discussing political conditions in New

then I would talk to Secretary Root
and then both would talk to me-.
At | o'clock the President excused
Mr. Olcott, ana at G tonight The con,
ference was resumed, and continued
until 7:15 o'clock.
Tonight as after the earlier confer
ence, Mr.. Olcott went directly 10 Sen
ator Platt's apartments and was in
conference with him.
Senator Plat had promised earlier
in the evening to make known what
was transpiring, but after his talk with
Mr.. olcott he gave out this state
nent:
1T is not known whetehr or not Mr..
Olcott win ret re. Mr. Olcott himself
loes nor know and will not know until

hall have nothing 70 say tomorrow
)ut on the following day there may be
omething."
Mr.. Olcott put in one of the busiest
lays of his life here today. In fact, he
vas SO busy that he did. nor even have
ime to get himself quarters at a hoIel
after his breakfast he went to the
State Department, ana before even the

He had a talk of threequarters of

President was waiting for him and he
vas shown in at once.
Then the President began asking
questions, and for half or three-quar-

opportunity of stating his case. The
President wanted TO know lot Of

A LITTLE HERO.

In the December's Woman's Home

lowing pathetic incident which hap
pened at ole Of their Christmas dr.

The pathoS Of such gatherings can
easily be imagined. At the Grand Ceu-
tral Palace, New York City, last
Christmas day, a bright little lad at
tractcd our attention. He had come
to receive a basket for his family. He
seemed n manly little fellow, and
waited without a murmur, holding fast
to his precious ticket. There were
five other children il the family, he
said, all younger than he, and he was
twelve. Father had had his foot in
jured six weeks before by molten lead
being spilled on ii. Work was none to
plentiful, anyway, but now he was un-
able to do it if it was to be had. Moth
er, No, mother couldn't work, either.
She'd been laid up for some time with
rheumatism.
"'Dear me. that is too bad Sympa-
thized somebody. Who, then, Looks
after the family"
"I takes care of the family, ma'am,'
he answered, brightly, L does the
housework. washes the children and
looks after things
You're a brick" declared the one
addressed. But as 4 sudden thought
struck her, who will cook the dinner
for yOu today
"And he answered, With a smile,
but seriously, 4 will. ma'am.|

Liking is the effect and not lie cause

lifting another UP.
A good many sins walk under the
name Of circumstances.
\ man attracts by what is in him
more than what he has on.
To help the young soul, add energy,

BE not overanxious to convert thy
friend from that which thou deemest

may be the error Of thine own"
These, then, are the three-reverence
and self forgetfulness and active obedi-
ence. "With twain he covered his

feet, and with twain he did fly" 1t

one of our horses while we were all
asleep, had almost entirely devoured
the carcass, and had then made good
their escape across the river. The re-
mains of the horse (which had been
tethered by itself presented sicken-
ing spectacle. little being left save the
head and the launches. Disturbed by
the flashing of torches ere they had
finished their meal, the lions had
rushed right through our camp be-
tween the line of tents and had after
ward. with comsummate audacity, re-
turned to finish their supper. 1t had
meant short shrift for any Of us who
had been picked up that night; for our
sentrlcs were fast asleep, and in any
case they could not have made very
formidable show with the muzzle-lOad-
ing rifles with which n benefcent Gov
ernment consents to arm the infantry

The leopard's name was Abu Faris,

chetah, it is used for hunting deer, and
is carried on the riders crupper. Abu

Poisons That Produce Idiocy.

"The more dreadful poisons," says
a chemist who has been interviewed by
the Chicago Chronicle, 'are only known
to a few men. Mercury methide, for
instance, the inhalation of whose fumes
produces incurable idiocy, can be man
ufactured by two Italians and by no
one else in the world. Dhatoora is
poison used in India. 1t, too, produces
incurable idiocy. A British army Of
ficer told me of a sad case-a case OF
two rival tailors, one of whom gave the
other a small dose oe dhatoora. The
victim of the drug remained an idiot
all the rest of his life. He sat and
moved his empty hands as though he
were sewing. He was a formidable
rival no longer. Mercaptan produces
a melancholy so great as to terminate
nearly always in suicide. No govern
ment would permit the manufacture
and sale of this poison. Dhatoora,
Mercury methide, mercaptan, and some
twenty other poisons are neither made
nor sold in any public way. They are
only experimental with. Such poisonS
would be formidable weapons in un-
scrupulous hands. Driving their vic
tins to suicide or to insanity, they
leave behind them nothing suspicious
or untoward. The giver of these pois-
ons is secure from any fear of punish
ment."

WOULD NOT SURRENDER.

The Royal Engineers share a motto
with the artillery; it is "Ubique," and
below are the words, "Que fas ct
gloria ducunt." These "Mudlarks" or
"Measurers," these "Flying Bricklay-
ers," as they are variously called in
nickname, have been everywhere. One
of the early and by no means the least
extraordinary scenes connected with
military engineering happened Mt Ali
cante. which we held in 1909. and
where we were then besieged by the
French These could not breach the
walls, so they set to work on mine
which eventually reached & spot just
below the citadel.
The English Engineers, tracing its
position as best they could, drove
shafts down toward the mine, in the
hope that they would weaken the
shock of the explosion. At last the
French were ready, and sent a polite
invitation TO the English commander,
asking whether he would care to in
spect the mine which verify was about
to blow him and his into the air. Two
English officers We're commissioned to
go; and they found everything as the
enemy had said. Then came the offer,
would the English not surrender now
that they saw the hopelessness of their
position?"
But the English General said, mo"
be would risk the dire effects. To add
stupidity to bravado hc with his chief
officers on duty at the time. on the
morning of the day fixed by the French,
took up position Immediately over the
centre Of the mine. Twelve hundred
barrels of gunpowder rent the parade
ground as If by an earthquake, and the
General, with the bull; of his COM
panions, disappeared in the reclosing
ground. The survivors l.eld the castle
for another month. however. 1t is an
example Of the somewhat delicate bor-
derline between the soldier and the
brave man-not always necessarily the
same.-Leisure Hour.
