A few days ago, two young men,
snake and bullfrog, were the
participants of peculiar and in
teresting affair. 1t happened this
way: AS the two young men were
driving across the country, they
passed a small pool in which were
the snake and frog, the snake hav-
ing the frog in his ummerciful
grasp. The two young men took
very little notice Of the affair and
drove on, but in about two hours,
passed the same spot again on their
return home and seeing the very
same snake lying on Il log with
large hump in its back, one of the
young men alighted from the bug
gy and proceeded to kill the snake,
which act he accomplished i'll
short order; then fishing the
snake out on dry land and by plac-
ing his foot on the snakes BODY

the tip of its tail and sliding his
foot gradually towards the snakes

come forth, which proved to be

archbishop than Mgr. Ireland. They pointed out to Roosevelt that the New York prelate had at least as much claim to the red hat as the archbishop of St. Paul.
 This resulted in much perturbation at the White House. and letters were sent to me by Roosevelt pointing out that what might be very appropriate as the opinion of private citizen would come with very bad grace as president of the United States.
 Every one with grain of sense knows that. There has never been a question as to that. I knew in the entire transaction that I was not pre- senting the official views of the presi- dent. This separation of official and personal sides of the matter is not unique.
 Mckinley did the same thing. He favored the elevation of Mgr. Ireland. but he did not do SO as president of the United States. N.
 There was no need of violent and insulting adjectives to show that the president dislikes me and did not wish me to remain in the service or to retire from it in any customary way.
 While the past has shown that few men can differ with either the wishes or the memory of Mir Roosevelt with out at once becoming scoundrel and a liar, I must make some comments on what he has given out at the White House.
 That anything was ever written to the president by my wife to the effect that Mir. Choate and General Porter were not proper persons to be ambas- sadors' is news to both of us.
 AS to MT. Root. the press in 1901 was full of statements that he might not be able to remain in the cabinet or account of health and would be succeeded by General Porter. which would leave Paris vacant.

Roosevelt at the time 1t was received:
 "'My dear Maria-You need never be afraid of writing me or of asking anything. If it is my power to grant 1t I shall do SO. If for any reasons. whether political in the narrow or in the largest sense I cannot. I shall tell you so frankly. Personal reasons can never exist when do not do anything you say.

"T do not believe that Secretary Long intends to leave the navy. In l this department I am sure without further thought that Bellamy would be admirable. But in filling any vacan- cy in the cabinet would have to take | note of all kinds of considerations. should count Bellamy's religion in his favor for cabinet place. Other things being equal. I should like to have a Catholic in the cabinet. am sure that in the navy department he would do exceedingly well as secretary. I do not know whether geographically he would be the right man. For instance, should like much to get Pacific slope man into the cabinet and partic- ularly in the navy department. and l do not wish to leave New England un- represented. At present see no Pa cific slope man who would be compe- tent to fill the position. Moreover, if possible I should like to get one or more members of the cabinet who are in close touch with the people carrying weight when they explain the policies, purposes aud acts of my administra- | ton.
 This is the one point in which the present cabinet is not as strong as 1t should be. I do not believe that finer, abler, more high minded body of public servants was ever got to- gether around a president. But there is not one of them, with the possible exception of Root (who is so busy that he can hardly ever speak, who can ap- pear before the country with the pres tige of a great political leader to ex- plain and champion my administration.

But as things are just at this time do not see the like lihood of such q condition arising.'"

The Lumber Trust.

John d. Rockefeller is common
~ thought the wealthirst man in
the world, though nobody seems to
know just why this estimate is plac-
ed on him. There is another Amer
lean, comparatively unknown, whom
many people believe to be as wealthy
as the oil king, perhaps more. He
is Frederick Weyerhauser. Ever
hear of him? Most people haven't.
But there is nobody who has not
paid tribute TO him.
Frederick Weyerhauser is the head
of the Lumber trust. Il is the
most highly organized, most effec-
tive trust. 1t is no great corpora
ton, owning "a whole industry. 1t
is simply a criminal conspiracy. or
rather a great series of them. IT is
the easiest trust in the country to
bust" and one that most deserves
busting"
1t has control of the lumber lands
of the United States. largely secured
by crimes against the land laws. 1t
controls the manufacture of lumber
by means of conspiracies against
trade. 1t regulates the wholesaling
of lumber in like fashion. 1t com
pels the retailers of lumber in al
most every village and city TO be
parties TO IA local conspiracy of
which every buyer is the victim. It
is in league with railroads to get
transportation favors. il has de
bauched public officials that it
might loot the nations forests. 1t
is destroying the forests without
making provision to restore them.
1t stands pat for the lumber sched-
ules that prevent Importation of
Canadian lumber, while il is getting
control of Canadian forests as fast
as possible, against the day when
there may be revision. When it is
ready, il will want free trade in
lumber. Then il will sell us Cana
dian lumber at eNorbitant prices.
and pile up more millions.
The Oil trust is = benefcence,
charity, compared to the Lumber
trust. The Steel trust is feeble. in
effective, clumsy. The Sugar truss.
indeed, is worthy To be compared
with the Lumber trust, and it is the
only one.
Senator Kittredge wants the lam
Der trust Investigated. lie will
doubtless get it; and when the
facts are all known the country will
realize, what is here set forth, that
the most greedy, eXacting, democrat
izing, and powerful trust of them
all is this same Lumber TRUST.
