A HAPPY MEDIUM.
0 long, boys, good bye"

$50 long, boys, good Bye
These were the parting words of
President Roosevelt as his special
train drew out of the Harrisburg sta
ton yesterday, taking him to the
southwest on his hunting trip. They
are the parting words of a good fell
low" of a typical Teddy" But Presi-
dent Roosevelt knows when to use the
good fellow" words and when to use
the formal conversation that goes with
the dignity of the President. With
some men to wave the hand and shout,
so long boys" it would mean loss
of dignity or declaration of inability
to be dignifed. Some men
who have been president or might
have been could not bring them
selves to say the words, but they
came naturally from the lips of Roose-
welt. He is the happy medium be-
tween the man who is always digni-
fed and the one who cannot be. He
is the happy medium, too, between the
man who can do nothing but govern,
and the man who can do little of ev-
erything else but govern. He is the
happy medium who can be either
Teddy" go-lucky, or Theodore
Roosevelt, President. He can be
either, too, without losing the others
good characteristics. Perhaps the
reason is that his nature is made up
of the good qualities, that he has SO
few Of the bad, that there is always
room for display of the good. What
ever the explanation, he is the ma
tional favorite, the most popular Pres
ident, all things considered, who has
ever held the Office since Washing
toms time, for he is the President of
all the people.

Motion for New Trial OverruIed b,
C1,,r%

Court.
Davenport. April 4.-Judge Barker
yesterday afternoon overruled mo-
ton for new trial in the case of the
state against Michael Conroy, convict
ed of burglary and sentenced Conroy
to three years in the state penitentiary
at Ft. Madison. Conroy's sentence at
the previous trial was ten years. The
motion for new trial was submitted
without argument. A. Hamann, G. H.
George, Chamberlin & Petersen and
G. H. Murphy represented the prosecu-
ton and Lane & Waterman the de-
tense.
The defense waived all rights to ex-
ceptions in the case and this clears
the case up finally, no appeal being
taken. Judge Barker said in sentence
ing the man that he took into consid-
Grafton the fact that Conroy had al
ready served two years while awaiting
his different trials.

1T AL WAYS HELPS

An ailment like consump'
ton that has been months
and years getting a foothold
cannot be relieved in a week
or day. SCOTS Emulsion
will always afford relief and
often cure, but not over night.
The consistent use of SCOTS
Emulsion will positively help
the consumptive at any
stage of the disease. We
guarantee nothing beyond
this, but we know that right
living and SCOTS Emulsion
have done more to cure con-
sumption than anything else.

Freak stamps Eagerly Sought

During the winter Of 1890 sheet of
the ordinary one-cent stamps with the
word Guam" printed across the face
slipped through with Guam" upside
down, says the Kansas City Star.
Those stamps were printed for the use
of the island, and collectors have
searched far and near for them. Only
few have been secured by the col
lectors. and they bring stiff prices.
The people of Guam know little about
the value set on such freaks by the
stamp collectors
Back in the '7Os, when the govern
ment> used its own distinctive set of
stamps for the several departments,
an error was made by the banknote
company which then held the contract
for making the stamps. The regular
color adopted by the Navy Depart
ment was blue. A sheet of~the two
cent denomination was printed in
green. and the freak has now a mar
ket value Of about $45 each. The
genuine. in blue, is worth twenty
times it's face value.
One collector was fortunate enough
to corner the market by getting pos
session Of sheet Of four-cent stamps
Of the Columbian series which was
nrinted by mistake in steel blue, when
its right color should have been ultra
marine blue. He got it at its face

There are number OF other valu-

4 CLEVER SCHEME.


tne japanese Correepondemt.
cent Their Dispatches,
There are not many peonle vho
gan get ahead Of telegraph com
pany' said correspondent who has
!uSt come back to Washington from
portsmouth, according to the Wash
lngton Star, ':but suspect that the
japanese correspondents managed it
uurlng the peace conference. You
know that cable rates to Japan are
pretty heavy and there was as much
as $l.25 word paid on some of the
urgent messages, while about SO cents
was the lowest press rate. The CORE
spondents were sending lot Of mat
ter and Of course the Japanese mes
sages had to be translated in q way he
Tore they could be sent. The Morse
code can't cope with the $1,000 ideo-
graphs that the Jap language is made
up OF, SO the Jap correspondents used
70 write the messages phonetically in
Engilsh characters and send their mes
sages in that way. They were read off
ana transferred to japanese type In
IoKyo. OF course, the telegraph com
pany could not read them. and as the
unit In size for cable word is fifteen
letters, the Japs used to divide their
messages up regularly into English let
tiers In blocks Of fifteen. No word was
ever longer or shorter than fifteen let
tiers, and the cable company had to
take 1T that way and stand for 1t.
The chief operator used to kick and
complain occasionally, but he could
not go back Of the explanation that
each OF the fifteen-letter groups was a
japanese word spelled phonetically.
But he swore Japanese was the most
queerly regular language he ever saw.
OF course the cable bills were pretty
high at that.
But the cable company probably
made less out Of the Japanese than
they did out Of any Of the other CORE
spondents. The Russian alphabet is
made up Of non-English letters, but it
can be sent in Morse, and there are
some operators who could do it,
though the most of the Russian mes
sages were written either in French
or English
1T is wonder to me-" said q State
Department clerk, who was listening
to the story, "that the Japs did not
use their code book. At least there is
one in China, and suppose there is
one in Japan. You know the Chinese
characters cannot be cabled any more
than can the Japanese, but they get
over that difficulty by having in every
Chinese telegraph Office simple code,
In which the message Is written with
numerals. Each page of the code
book is divided into fifty-eight squares,
| numbered in sequence, and in each
square is a Chinese word, the COM
moner words coming among the lower
numbers. When the telegram is writ
ten the sender simply puts down the
number Of the square in place Of the
word it contains, and the message is
decided in the same way at the other
end. There are $500 words, and that
is enough for the average vocabulary
Of the man who wants to send a tele-
gram. I do not know whether this
method would have been cheaper than
the fifteen-letter scheme Of the CORE
spondents, but it Is possible If they
had used code the company would
have cut them down to five figures for
each word, as that is the limit on code
messages.
