We are not to tell lies, nor to eyaGe,
nor prevaricate, nor exaggerate. One
may tell a dastardly lie and not open his
mouth. There are times when to be ST.
lent Is to proclaim falsehood. But
speaking ones mind brusquely and
boorishly is no part Of truth speaking.

hat, why spoil her pleasure in it by ex-
claiming about her mistake? II Luz

been conditioned in his examinations
and your son brings home the news. why

mother? If Bridget makes heavy bread
once in way, why dwell on the mis-
take, when you have omitted to praise
her for the loaves that are generally
light as puffs and sweet as honey?
The Bible bids us speak the truth IN
love. That direction seems to cover the
whole ground. Whoever brings love,
true, long-suffering and unselfsh, to
bear on the business of life, need never
have the least fear that she will blunder
when she finds occasion for speaking
her mind.
1t really takes lot of self-repression
and self-restraint anu altruism to make
US able to live with on another in peace
And it is harder for some people to be
decent than for others to be saints But
one thing we may do, and that is to keep
still when what we say may do harm
and not good.
Sweet friend, when thou and are gene
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of praise
From comrade or from neighbor.
Then tender hands will bring US dowerA
When love is past forgiving:
oh, take the lesson home to-day,
Be patient with the living.

RAW STEAK IN HIS GLOVE.
Former Baseball Star Tells About
Tricks Of the Old-Time
Players.

1--WE are = baseball family, guess"
said Charley CAMEL, the former Bos.
ton star, who is now a commercial
drummer, recently, relates the New
York Sun. There were five of US
boys-Fred, George. Joe, John and
myself. All played ba1! more or less.
but George, John and we're the only
ones known to baseball fame. We
were brought up in Racine, Wis, and
then went to Minneapolis, where I
first got into baseball. That was in
1884, and played first base for St.
Paul. In the middle of that season
started to catch behind the bat,
which was due chiefly to the fact that
the club had nobody to catch Elmer
Foster, the star pitcher, who after.
ward signed with the New Yorks.
Il was a catcher after that. going
to Philadelphia from st. Paul, and
then to Detroit, by which club was
sold to Boston in 1888. remained
with the Hub team for nine years, and
then concluded that l had seen my
best days. So I retired, although I
still play ball every summer, because
I love the game and the exercise it
gives me.
Il think the game is easier to-day
than it was 20 years ago, on account OF
the protection afforded the ball tossers
in the way of gloves, mitts, masks and
pads. Twenty years ago the pitcher
was IS feet away from the plate, and
he had six-foot box in which he could
take a run before delivering the ball.
To-day the pitcher is 60 feet from the
plate, and has to stand in his tracks
until after he has delivered. In the
old days the insufficient protection Of
the glove caused the hands to swell to
double their usual size. so used
to get piece of beefsteak and put it
inside of the glove. This served to
moisten my hands, in addition to pro-
tecting them. In my opinion, Charley
Bennett was the best catcher who ever
put on glove. Perhaps Buck Ewing
was more brilliant, but for steadiness.
every day work and gameness, Ben
nett never had an equal
Charley's brother, John CAMEL, first
baseman of the New York Americans,
has just purchased an interest in the
Grand Rapids club Of the Central
league, and says he will not play ball
here again.

ing. 1t is situated In lOw-lying dis
trict, much Of which had for years en-
ioyed the more or less euphonious name
of 'Swampoodle," where negroes Of the
lowest class lived and where crime was
rampant. This low ground is to be filed
up and the big union depot will almost
be on level with the capitol, and the
group Of magnificent public buildings
that are located and to be built about
the capitol plaza.
The earth necessary to fill up this hol-
low would constitute a mountain, IL
most, and it is being obtained from the
excavations already made and in prog.
ress for the house and senate of1cs
buildings and from the tunnel which the
Pennsylvania railroad is digging under
Capitol hill. The rapidity with which
landmarks have been removed and form
er well built-up squares Of the city hays
disappeared has taken away the breath
Of the old inhabitants. The big square
adjoining the northeast corner Of the
capitol grounds less than three months
ago was covered with rows Of houses,
some Of them luxurious mansions. To-
day big steam shovel is rapidly coz
verting that square into big hole In
the ground. The dirt and :ne debris az
it is being scooped out is loaded on cars
and quickly deposited on the ground
around. the new depot, SO that by the
time the walls Of the latter have been
built, the surrounding squares will have
been raised to the height Of 50 feet or
more.
The new depot will be in keeping with
the magnificent government buildings,
OF which it will form an addition It Ia
to be OF white marble, and will be in har-
mony with the capitol when that old
building has been remodeled, as is now
intended.

though Washington was not thought OF

exploits in aiding the establishment OF

gued that now it is the Mecca Of all m

II Paul Jones body were to rest IN
Arlington 1t is claimed that q thousand
patriots would pay tribute at his tomb
where one will do SO at Annapolis. The
latter, 1t Is true, is the naval center OF
the United States, and this is the reason
why 1t was chosen as the final resting
place for the first American naval hero.
It is claimed that his memorial there
will be an inspiration to the youths who
are taught at the naval academy, and
will serve to bring the lessons Of his
great career more emphatically to their
minds. The history Of the navy rests
at Annapolis and the navy claims Psul
Jones as its own.
Admiral Dewey, the head Of the navy.
who has all the affection possible for his
alma mater at Annapolis, and who is
loyal to that naval town, takes broad
er view Of the disposition Of Paul Jones,
body. He believes that Jones belongs
to the whole people and not particularly
to the navy. As the National cemetery
at Arlington. just across the Potomac
from Washington, is the resting place OF
both military and naval heroes, Admiral
Dewey believes that 1t is there the body
should lie, and great memorial be
erected. He believes that 1t should be
placed where the greatest number Of
American people can visit the shrine.

the next few months he will withdraw

The assistant secretary, who is affec-
ttonately known as 'Uncle Hod," is one
Of the ''plain people" whom President
Roosevelt likes and talks so much about.
He was governor Of Wisconsin. and in
his time perhaps has been the shrewdest
political leader in that state which
turns out past masters in the art If po-
litical manipulation. He is somewhat
picturesque character, man of horaely
phrase, but good, sound, common seIse.
He looks like a prosperous farmer or s:at-
tie grower, who had invested consider
able money in banks and acquired LITTLE
Of the polish of a city. He wears heavy
suit of almost white hair, his face is
smooth shaver and full of healthy color,
and he usually dresses in sack coat and
trousers of light-colored material. He
has shrewd but kindly eye, and al
though very near" in making a BUSH
ness bargain, he is a bluff, big hearted
western business man.
Like so many popular statesmen in
Washington, Mr.. Taylor is devoted
fisherman. He has caught every kind
of game fish from the rainbow trout to
the mighty salmon of Canadian waters.
He is never so happy as when, with con-
genial comrades, he Is OF to the north

persuade Mr.. Tay-

kOY 70 Eemdlu Ia lee treasury depart
ment. Secretary Shaw, a westerner him-
self, was not long in discovering the
worth of the ex-governor Of Wisconsin.
When puzzling questions would arise
about the construction of public build
ings or the proper application Of the
immigration laws. Mr.. Taylor had the
faculty of going right straight to the
main point of the question in way that
pleased Secretary Shaw very much.
When Mr.. Taylor first preached the SUBJ
ject of retiring from the public service
q short time ago, Mr.. Shaw said: Look
here governor, l don't want you to leave
the treasury. What will do without
you? l want you to stay in until the end
Of my four years term, at least"
The dependence which Secretary
Shaw has on '3Uncle Hold" is apparent
when the records Of the department
show that Mr.. Taylor has been acting
secretary of the treasury more than half
the time since Mr.. Shaw first took ofice.
Secretary Shaw feels perfectly conf
dent that while he is away Assistant
Secretary Taylor conducting affairs
as they should be, and he does not hesi-
tate to take advantage Of this fact.
Mr.. Taylor, when he goes out Of Of
fee, will go OF his own volition. Some
few years ago the assistant secretary
believed he saw great possibilities in q
business way in Alaska, and he estab-
lfshed bank at the City OF Nome. His
foresight has been justified, and the
business ct the bank has grown 80 great
and mining interests with which he Is
connected are SO important that he now
feels compelled to give them his undi-
vided attention.

HoNoRED BY PRESIDENT.
Texas Girl Is Named by the Nations
Chief Daughter Of the
Regiment"

A unique inquire II tAe EeRulou u
the Rough Riders at San Antonio was
Miss Gladys Johnston, who is known
as the Daughter of the Regiment .
Miss Johnston lives at Columbus, Tex,
a little town on the Southern Pacific,
between San Antonio and New Or
leans In June, 1898, when the Rough
Riders, under Lieut.-Col. Roosevelt,
were on their way to Tampa, the en-
CINE of the train broke down few
miles outside Of Columbus, and the
train was delayed several hours.
Capt. Greenway, of the Rough
Riders, who knew Miss Johnston,
seeing her in the crowd watching the
breakdown, invited her aboard the
train and presented her to Col. Roose-
velt She spent several pleasant
hours in the officers private car, and,
before leaving, Col. Roosevelt ex-
pressed desire for naming her a.
the Daughter OF the Regiment
While the Rough Riders were in
camp at Tampa Miss Johnston re-
ceived a telegram asking her to come
to that place and be the guest of the
regiment. It was impossible for her
to do so at that time. but she went to
Washington to attend the inaugura-
ton, and called upon Col. Roosevelt
at the white house. When she
greeted him she called him "Col.
Roosevelt" and when she attempted
to correct her salutation by saying
''Mr. President" he stopped her and
said he liked to be called colonel"
for 1t took him back to happy
days. It was at this time that she
received a special invitation at the
hands of "Col." Roosevelt to attend

RAISES VAST POTATO CROP
Fertility Of Colorado, Once Repre-
scented as Part Of the Great
American Desert.

Colorado, originally depicted on the
maps as part of the "Great American
Desert" is now confronted with an over
production of potatoes, beets and other
farm products which the farmers find
difficult to handle for want of cheap
transportation. This applies particular
ly to potatoes, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
To meet the situation, Mayor Watson,
of Greeley, and committee of citizens
have shipped potatoes to eastern mar
kets by way of Galveston and New Or
leans. Such potatoes have found a mar
ket at advanced prices in New York, New
Orleans and other distributing points.
The fame of these potatoes for size and
quality has given the Greeley, Col, brand
a preference and an extra price. During
the last political campaign friends of the
winning candidates dubbed together
and sent carloads of potatoes to political
friends in the east, especially in Chicago
st. Louis and Washington. Carloads OF
exceptionally large potatoes were ex-
hibited at the worlds fair in ST. Louis
just before the closing of the exposition.
The railroad problem has always been
a drawback to farming in Colorado. and
were it not for the enormous crops farm
ers would have turned to other pursuits.
At present Colorado potato raisers are
shipping large quantities of thei- prod
ucts to points in the Indian Territory.

running to the gulf are apparently making
special inducements to procure this traf-
