"sQUARE (MR.) ROOT"
The Story of College Nickname Of the
New Secretary Of State.

In college Elihu Root was a consist
ent worker. He carried off the first
prize in mathematics. On his record in
scholarship he was appointed valedic
torian of his class-and thereby hangs
tale. During his junior year oc-
Cured what was called the German
rebellion" Because of dislike of and
dissatisfaction with the instructor in
German, his class withdrew from the
college in a body-eVery man save
Root The class was out about two
months, but during that time he went
regularly to his recitations. The eX-
PLANTATION vouchsafed is that, because
of mis- fathers official connection with
the college as a member of the faculty,
Root could not join in the secession.
1t was an unfortunate situation. for
which he may have been entirely
blameless. At all events, he never lost
the nickname which had been given
him, the son of Cube Root, early in
his college course. 1t was Square
Root" and of this significant diminu-
tive his fellow students considered him
! worthy, despite his lack of popularity.
After all, the only importance attach
ing to the secession is that, when
tempted-and sorely tempted he must
nave been-he would not desert his
work This trait has followed him
throughout his career, as will be shown
and in considerable degree has contrib
uted to his success.
Following his graduation in 1864
Mr.. Root became the head of the CO.
educational academy of Rome, N. Y,
in which he taught the classics and
mathematics. He was popular with his
students, who not only respected and
admired the young Hamilton graduate
but formed warm affection for MIN
which has lasted through the years.
Somewhat to mis- fathers disappoint-
ment, he abandoned teaching as a ca
reer after an experience of one year
and turned to the law. Professor Root
offered his son letters Of introduction
to influential persons in New York city
who could help him; these he refused.
Il am starting out to do this thing
myself" he said. Il am going to make
my own friends without any family
pull. l want to find out whether am
a man or a mouse"

CLAIMS CANAL CONTROL.
Trouble Said to be Due to Taft and
Shonts Exceeding Authority.

CHICAGO. Nov. 29.-Walter Well
man in a Washington special to the
Record Herald says:
I'm America, as in England. the
commons are jealous of their great
prerogative contained in control of The
national purse. The American parIia-
ment purposes to exercise that control
in strict and jealous manner as to
the expenditures for the Panama ca
nal.
Serious differences of opinion have
arisen between congress and the exc
cutive as to the right of the latter to
incur Indebtedness beyond the sum of
s1o,00o.0oo already specifically appro-
priated by congress.
Both Secretary of War Taft and
chairman Shonts of the Panama canal
commission hold that they are with
IN the letter of the law in undertaking
contracts or obligations for any such
sum within the s145,Ooo 900 made avail
able by the spooner act, regardless Of
whether the money is specifically an
propriated by congress or not.

PEELED to get a chorter or retire so that
a new company may come in. Pro-
longed litigation will follow the action

ILLINOIS EXECUTIVE WOULD AL
Low ROADS TO PASS NONE
BUT THE EMPLOYEES.
Will Present Strong Message at Next
Session Of the illinois Legislature
On Railroad Subject.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-No railroad
passes except to employees of railroad
companies. A prohibitory act to this
effect is to be part of Governor De-
mems program of proposed railroad
legislation, which is to play an import
ant part in the next session Of the
Illinois general assembly.
Although thirteen months intervene
before another legislature will be in
session, the governor is allowing part
Of his program to become known, that
he may get public sentiment behind
him.
Without this it might be a forlorn
nope for him to undertake to secure
the passage of remedial legislation
which would hit the legislators them
selves.
Deneen is in position to advocate
this and other railroad bills, and do so
consistently. He has refused to use
passes himself, and was paying his
railroad fare before the hue and cry
against the use of free transportation
by public officials was raised.
1t is believed that the governor
would not allow his purpose to be
known if he were not confident that
he had a good chance to push the
measure through.

Congress Must Approve.

."The congressional leaders, on the
other hand, say the administration
cannot spend a dollar of the $135,GOO.-
600 without the specific authorization
of the national legislature. They go
even farther and declare that in enter
ing upon contracts for future delivery
to a total sum of something like fiji
teen or sixteen millions over and above
the ten millions appropriated by con-
sion have violated the law and made
themselves liable to prosecution under
the federal statutes.
"Of course no arrests are looked Hor
But the congressional leaders intend
to make a strenuous contest for what
thew regard as their rights. 1t is the
only way they can retain control over
the canal expenditures.
Conoressmen's View.
''Their attitude is that not dol
lar can be spent except upon estimates
submitted and a direct and specific
appropriation according to law. mas
much as the administration evidently
intends going ahead on the theory that
it is already legally authorized to spend
or contract for the whole $145,OO0,0 900
named in the Spooner act, an inter-
esting contest between the two
branches of the government is looked
for.

DUST THE DEMON A Tussle With Coffee.

There is something fairly demoniacaI in the way coffee sometimes wreaks It's flendish malice on those who use 1t.
 A lady writing from Calf. says:
 My husband and l, both lovers of coffee, suffered for sometimes from very annoying form of nervousness, ac- companied by most frightful headaches. In my own case there was eventually developed some sort of affection of the nerves leading from the spine to the head.
 "I was unable to hold my head up straight, the tension of the nerves drew 1t to one side, causing me t..e most in- tense pain. We got no relief from medicine, and were puzzled as to what caused the trouble, till a friend sug- gested that possibly the coffee we drank had something to do with it. and ad- vised that we quit 1t and try Postum Coffee.
 We followed his advice. and from the day that we began to use Postum we both began to improve, and In a very short time both of us were entirely relieved The nerves became steady once more, the headaches ceased, the muscles in the back of my neck relaxed, my head straigfhtened up and the dreadful pain that had so punished me while I used the old kind of coffee van ished.
 We have never assumed the use Of the old coffee. but relish our Postum every day as we'll as we dicAthe former beverage. And we are delighted to find that we can give 1t freely to our chill dFen also. Something we never dared to do with the old kind of coffee" Name given by postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum Coffse contains absolutely no drugs of any kind. but relieves the eof- fee drinker from the old drug poison.
 There's a reason.

Miles Smith and special police officers Oscar MeDade and E. W. Jackson.
 MT. Martin was on one of the far ends of the seine and had taken 1t out some distance to- make 1t fast to a snag. He was swimming in hts under clothes in. about twenty-five feet of water. When he was returning toward the party and some fifteen or twenty feet from them. 1t was noticed that his swimming was laborious and he was evidently exhausted. His friends did not realize the seriousness of the sit- uation until his body was seen to sink beneath the water.
 MT Martin is a very heavy man and 1t was with the greatest effort that he was hauled into shallow water by his friends who hurriedly swan to his as- sistance. Special Officer McDade, who is particularly powerful swimmer caught the drowning man and enabled him to get his breath. With the as- sistance of the rest of the party, shall low water was reached.
 Mir, Martin was unconscious for a short time but first aid to the injured methods were applied and he was quickly brought to himself.

Building permits issued during the past week cover building operations to the amount of $52,012.
 This record is considered a good one and If conditions as promising as the past week continue the records for the next month will surpass all previous ones. A peculiar instance of the is- suing of permits during the past week is that almost the total amount of the money was expended on residences and small buildings. A great many build ings went up, none of which was ex- ceptionafly costly,
