Dispatches from Cincinnati announce
that Miss Roosevelt will arrive in that
city June as the guest of Mrs. Buck
ner Waiiingford. formerly Miss Mamie
Longworth, sister of Representative
Nicholas Longworth. In an interview
Mrs. WaIlingford is reported as saying
that she did hope Cincinnati people
would not annoy Miss Roosevelt by un-
welcome attentions. 1t is wrong for
citizens of a democratic country like
ours to make such a fuss over the
Presidents s daughter simply because she
happers TO be the Presidents daughter.

In an informal way. She is
bored to death with ali the things she
has had to attend in Washington. The
poor girl fairly hates st. Louis because
she was mobbed and followed about by
such crowds, and ! don't want her TO
get a bad impression OF CINCINNATI.
If Mrs. Wallingford has really sound
ed this warning 70 the people OF her
town, 1t is almost unnecessary. for Miss
Roosevelt is such good American, so
thoroughly democratic herself, that she
meets every emergency just as the
President himself would &c. and better
still, she is unspoiled.

Mr.. p,.rneli,r Economy.

Of the rigid economy practiced by Mrs. Disraeli there Is one very good story told: Mrs Disraeli and her hus- band had come down from London to spend the Easter vacation at Hughen- den and had called on the various tradesmen at Wycombe to order the groceries and other requirements for their ten days or fortnight's stay. It so happened that their sojourn was rather abruptly shortened, and Mrs. Disraeli was seen calling at the gro- cers and other purveyors, taking out of the carriage the nonconsumed wares and asking the shopkeepers to receive them back and have them reweighed and so to make a reduction in their ac- counts.
 The great statesman, with folded arms, was leaning back in the carriage perfectly nonchalant, but evidently de sirous to have no share in the frugal transaction. Such rigid economy was no longer required after the old lady who so admired his books died and left him her entire fortune, amounting to over ,000.-London Tit-Bits.

Flight of tn. wanaeoek-

Some writers have claimed that the woodcock is sure in his flight, never
 becoming entangled in briers or creep ing vines when In swift flight through close cover. That may have been their experience, but is not mine 1 have seen woodcocks when flushed in such spots become so entangled that they were forced to cease flying and drop to the ground to again make new start in flying. I remember one old fellow that sat hidden before the stand of one of my settlers until I almost step- ped on him and then, rising nearly into my face, got tangled in a clump of ironweed and fell at my feet. Had I been so disposed could have caught him in my hands, but my desire was to see if he was injured. and a moment later he proved that he was only a badly frightened woodcock, as he dart ed away through cover while watch ed and laughed at him.-Amateur Sportsman. e...

Hn,x He Prnnnsed.

How did he do it? What did he say?" inquired girl impudently. Then, seeing her friend turn away with a smile upon her face, she went on: 'I knew you wouldn't tell. Nobody ever will. You will never get girl to tell just how her sweetheart proposed to her. She'll tell you anything else you like to ask her. If they've had a quar-. rel she may often in Der Indignation let out the horrid things he said to her, but she'll keep as silent as the grave about the way he proposed. When I asked my sister she said that when get older shall realize that a proposal from the man you promise to marry Is one of the things no woman could ever tell another. And I've found this quite true, although no one minds telling me what he said when they didn't want him to propose at all."

Then the King of kings answered: When your forerunner with your consent wiped away the tears of those starving people in that faroff land l caught those tears anl changed them into jewels Here they are glitterlng in your crown, which you will find in wonder palace.

When he stilled the cries of the hun gry begging for bread I transformed those sobs into the songs of your ever last triumph Here is your palace. here your jeweled crown"
 In this strange legend I find a mes sage of consolat!3n. Our gifts. our sor- rows, our sacrifices, all the pain and sadness and wcariness we bear, are not lost. They are iEtrusted to Christ. who uses them all in his ministry of love. The Divlue Father accepts the offering and transforms 1t into treas ury of gems, an eternal palace. in which we shall live forever with our Lord. There we shan find our loved ones whom we lost; there our heartaches and tears take on the form of brilliant crowns, whose glory shall never fade, and in the terrible black winged mon- ster of death we recognize the white winged angel of eternal life.
 But though have been talking about the things 1t you'd be easy for God to do I canaot close without uttering one word in reference to one of Gods im-- possibles." It is easy for us to be saved if we will be saved in Gods way. He has given his only begotten Son to die for us. He has given his Spirit to sanctify us. He has made it easy for us to be saved. But he. will not save us against our own will. That is i'm possible even to God. We must yield to him, renounce our sin and accept his offer of salvation. O man, will you resist? Will you continue in rebellion? Will you not rather say: 'T give my self to thee. Make me thine own chi,t through Jesus Christ our LordT'

 And so he finally persuaded them to go with him, and they wandered through the grass long way from where their mother was asleep.
 They were having a real good time, too, when suddenly large, hungry fox sprang from the bushes. He grabbed poor Dicky by the throat and ran off as hard as be could to his home, where he made good meal off the disobe- dient duckling.

 "Well, a man was brought in with 8 crushed leg. The surgeon said 1t must come off. But by some means or oth CT he cut off the wrong leg"
 But don't call that clever"
 "Wait bit The surgeon said it would be terrible for the poor fellow to go about with no legs at all, so he doctored up the crushed leg instead of cutting that of. too, and now 1t is as good as ever. An ordinary surgeon would have left the fellow legless Wonderfully skillful. wasn't it?"
