 Mrs. Howe's poem follows: Why. bless you, l ain't nothing. nor

 It seems that Miss Alice Roosevelt s about to be denied another trip broad for political reasons, She was enied the pleasure of attending the cremation ceremonies in England be- ause that country insisted on treat ng her as a guest of the nation, which Ter father objected to on the ground hat she was too young. Secretary Taft has planned trip to the Philip lines. and has invited quite a party of among whom are Miss Roose- cit, seven senators and their wives, representatives and their wives, and several prominent newspa- Ter men, and now the Russian Ambas- ador to this country has gone to the President and put forth very grave ob- ections to this trip, stating that his ountry could not regard it except as n unfriendly act. as the party intend d stopping off at Tokio enroute, where they would go sightseeing, and ie rendered reception by the Emper- IT and Empress of Japan. The Pres dent tried to persuade County Cassi- Ii that 1t was only summer pleasure rJp, and had not the slightest politi- al import, but the Count refused to lee it in that light, and rather than lave any unpleasantness over cile mat er the President may think it best to nave them defer their visit to Japan A correspondent for an exchange states that Miss Roosevelt will be at- ended by Miss Bordman, of Washing on, and Miss McMillan, of Detroit, md several ether "Iadies in waiting" which sounds rather pompous for a young American girl, even if she is the Presidents daughter. and Miss Roosevelt would most likely object to such titles being attached to her | friends. The secretary Of war will | also be attended by several gentle | men in waiting" Such remarks puts one in mind of coronation ceremonies, l kissing the hand of crowned heads, | backing out of the room, and all such fol-de-rol connected with the European | courts.
