MAIDSTONE LAKE.

Maidstone lake is 5000 feet above the
sea level. and is entirely surrounded by
virgin forests. Mr.. Van Dyke owns every
foot OF the 1900 acres of mountainous
woodland that surrounds it. and thus
controls its waters and approaches.
Signs reading mo picnic parties allow
cd near the entrance give evidence that
il is not n public resort. The lake is six
miles long and one and One-half miles
wide. entirely free from any contamn-
ating sewage or pastures, and It's waters
are pure and cold, swarming with mus
callonge, that have all the flavor and ap-
pearance OF salmon trout. II has a
depth of 10 feet and is fed largely by
cold springs at great depth Only one

(From our regular correspondent
Washington, D. c., April u, 1905.
1t is well that the country has both
wire and wireless communication with
the President of the United States,
while he is hunting big game, for
to use the expression of the Vice
President, in a recent speech in North
Carolina, matters of great "pith and
moment are in the wind" While
King Edward of England and Presi-
dent Loubet of France are holding
consultations on a railway train and
the Kaiser and the King of Italy are
whispering to each other in Naples,
the German, French and English Am
bassadors are talking over the same
questions with the Acting Secretary
of State and actual Secretary Of War
whom the President has left in Wash
ington to hold down the lid" 1t is
all about the open door in Morocco.
France 1t IS suspected, wants to con-
troll the door and France thinks or
hopes that she will be backed by Eng
land. Germany wants an equal en-
trane with Frame through that door
The incident, small as it is from our
point of view and remote as we are
from the Mediterranean, serves to
emphasize our growing importance as
a world power. The splendid isola-
ton of Great Britain in her tight little
island defended by a moat of salt
water thirty miles in width, is as Moth
ing ompared with our isolation, be-
cause our moat is three thousand
miles wide on the Atlantic seaboard
/ and nearly twice that width on the
Pacific. But there are various kinds
of splendid isolation and Germany is
beginning to become familiar with a
| phase of it. The tripartite alliance OF
Germany, Austria and Italy has not
| the raison detre or the strength that
it once had, for since its formation,
there has been a considerable oscilla-
ton OF the maps of the world and one
first-class power has sprung up in the
| Orient and another long latent first
class power the United States is recog-
nized in the West. Since the tripar-
tite alliance was formed Japan has
conquered China and demonstrated
| her superiority to Russia; England
has shown her ability to carry on war
involving the transportation over nine
/ thousand miles Of sea of three hun
dred thousand soldiers with equip
ments and munitions of war and the
| United States has with an almost flip
pant ease destroyed a second Spanish
Armada and established new nation
in the caribbean.
These questins seem little foreign
to a Washington letter, but the world
has grown so small through the ami
hilation of time and space and the
United States so proportionately
large in the past ten years that our
interests and our influence touch all
countries and are touched by them.
One cannot help comparing just
now. the progress of the President
through thousands of miles of the
United States with the immurement
for safety Of the Gar of all the Rus
slams, Mr.. Roosevelt IS passing through
part Of the country never before
visited by President. He IS attended
BY members Of the press. In his Of
hand way he tells that he has left

in Washington with reference to the
succersorship of Secretary of State
Hay who is now in the Riviera. 1t is
reported that Senator Spooner has

vigorously promote the story and no
doubt if it were true it would give

PLUMB NEVER TIRED
KANSAS STATESMAN A MARVEL
OF ENDURANCE.
Story Told by Senator Vest Well Illus
trates His Physical Powers-Night's
Enjoyment Never lnterfered with
Days Duty.

Senator Plu,lD Gf Kansas was |
physical giant, athletic and ceaseless
worker, as we'll as tireless, says a
ritter in the Los Angeles Times. One
of his assistants was as large as he
was and as good a worker; but once
in three or four months he would
give way to an inordinate thirst for
beer, which incapacitated him for
work four or five days, or sometimes
whole week. On one of these occa-
sions, when Senator Plumb particular
ly needed him, the Senator introduced
a resolution in the Senate forbiddine
the sale of any kind of liquor to en-
ployes of Senators or of the Senate,
and he delivered an impassioned
speech in favor of the resolution.
The preceding evening Senator
Plumb had been dallying a bit with
wine, but that part Of the story was
best told by Senator Vest of Missouri,
who said: 81 think that my friend
| Plumb has greater powers Of endur-
ance than any man l have ever known
and he demonstrates that fact in his

SOAKED TO HIS WHISPERS.
Something Doing in q Social Way UI
Mud Creek Valley.


The following from our,Mud Greek
valley correspondent indicates that
that portion Of Dickinson is leading a
somewhat strenuous social existence
these days. "A few evenings ago q
party Of indignant and disgusted
young fellows called on young man
living out this way who has acquired
quite an undesirable reputation as the
originator OF numerous uncompli-
mentary and uniounded stories and
requested to give an explanation.
Being unable or disinclined to do SO,
and the complaint having become
chronic, it was suggested that the
cold water cure might do some good.
So he was promptly taken to the near
est water tank and put in soak up to
his chin whiskers. One or two other
cases might receive the same treat
ment with benefit"
