TEDDY IN NEW ROLE
The President Called On to Act as Elk.
ecutor and Guardian of Cats

New York. Dec. 21-Before Mrs.
Lulu B. Grover committed suicide by
taking poison in her Harlem home
on Dec. 8. she expressed in writing
the wish that the president should
receive her personal property. She
added the hope that Mr.. Roosevelt
would order the disposal of her body
and take care of her pets. two An
CORA cats.
Today it was learned that although
President Roosevelt had never known
the woman. her wishes have been
respected. Acting under the presi-
dents orders United States District
Attorney Henry L. Stimson in con-
junction with the public administra-
tor, personally supervised the crema-
tion of the body and forw arded the
two pet Angora cats to the White
house
Secret service men also saw to it
that all the property left by Mrs.
Grover was taken in charge by the
public administrator and advertise
ments inserted in the newspapers
notifying her relatives of her death.
Little was known of Mrs. Grover
further than that she described herself
as magazine writer, was of indie
pendent means. an admirer of the
public career of the chief executive
Of the nation.

and the Navy create deficit as to;
lay the entire on us on the postoffice
department. But this is done. BY many
congressman each year. and it is
natural that under the whip and spur
of criticism the department should
try to make the postal system self
sustaining. There is no good reason
why it should be, any more than that
the army should be. 1t is run for
the benefit Of the people as whole
and it would do no harm if, some Of
the millions of revenue received by
the Treasury Department were divert
ed into Postal channels.
1t is a fact that the business men
bear very large percent of the ex-
penses of the postal system. They
doubtless receive the greatest benefit,
but they pay for all they get. If the
department. had only business mail to
carry there would be no deficit. 1t
seems unfair therefore to add to the
cost of the service to the business
men. We do not believe that any
man in Denison begrudges the farmer
the FIRE. delivery service. but they
cannot see the equity in employing a
carrier at sixty dollars a month to
deliver mail to hundred farmers
whose total postage will not cost to
exceed SIS. per month. and whose
box rent costs them nothing beyond
the initial expense of purchasing a
box, and then asking the business
men whose postage will amount to
$500. a month and more. to pay from
S2.4 40 to 50. per year for the privilege
of a lock box at the post-office. We
believe that the department is inclin-
ed to be reasonable in this matter and
that the best method for Denison peo-
I'ple to pursue is to petition the De-
partment, through Judge Conner.
setting forth the, facts in temperate
way and it is our opinion that relief
will follow.
K A general resort to the general de-
livery will result in such a conges-
tion of the mails as will be very in
convenient to the patrons of the
Office IN spite of the best efforts Of
the present force.
Personally there are a few points
which we desire to impress upon the
people.
First, that the raise is general
throughout the United States and that
all cities of Denison's size are to
pay like rates.
Second. that the local postmasters
have nothing whatever to do with the
raise and must simply follow in
structions as received from the De-
partment.
Third, that the revenues from box
rents go to the government not to the
postmaster. as we were surprised to
| find that some Of our good people
thought.
Fourth, that no one is obliged tt
rent box but can have his mail de-
livered through the general delivery,
such delivery being subject however
to the general rules as to Sunday AND
holiday opening.

The great library seemed larger than

dows and stepped out on a stone ter
race, where I gained fair view OF the
exterior Of the house. which proved to
be modified Tudor. with battlements
and two towers. one of the latter was
only half finished. and to IL and to
other parts Of the house the work
mems scanolding stiIl clung. Heaps
of stone and piles of lumber were scat
tered about in great disorder. The
house extended partly along the edge
OF a ravine. through which a slender
creek ran toward the lake. The ter
race became a broad balcony imme-
diately outside the library. and beneath
IT the water bubbled pleasantly around
heavy stone pillars. Two pretty rustic
bridges spanned the ravine. one near
the front entrance. the other at the
rear. My grandfather had begun his
house on a generous plan, but, buried
as it was among the trees, II suffered
from lack of perspective. However on
one side toward the lake was a fair
meadow, broken by water-tower. and
iust beyond the west dividing wall
saw a little chapel; and still farther, In
the same direction, the outlines of the
buildings Of St. Agatha's were vaguely
perceptible in another strip OF wood

school girls as neigl1bors amused me.
