With Kingly Courage.

IN Sweden a remarkable story is
told Of King Oscars courage and re-
solution
The narrative recounts that a soldier,
a man of immense stature, while lying
under sentence of death secured a
long knife, and defed anyone to enter
his cell
On hearing Of the circumstances the
King drove at once to the prison. and
disregarding the warning Of the offici-
ais, entered the mans cell alone and
unar"oo ID, locked the door behind him.
and then reasoned it'll the convict.
1t would have been a remarkable in
terview, even if the King had taken a
pardon to the convict. But far from
this, he actually explained to the con-
demned man why he had decided to
reject any appeal for mercy; yet he so
worked on the mans feelings that
when, with farewell handshake. the
King left him, he was totally subdued,
and ready to meet his fate the next
morning like soldier.

The American Spoke First.

The American in the corner of the
English first-class carriage insisted on
lighting his cigar. The indignant Brit
Usher in the other corner protested,
but protested in vain. At the next sta
ton he hailed the guard, with hostile
intent; but the cool American was too
quick for him. ''Guard," he drawled,
II think you'll find that this party here
is travelling with third-class ticket
on him. Investigation proved him
to be right, and the indignant Britisher
was triumphantly elected. A spec
tator of the little scene asked the
American how he knew about that
ticket. "Well," explained the imper-
turbable stranger, 'the corner was
sticking out of his pocket and I saw
it was the same color as mine.'

nd if this be SO it is a fitting monu-
lent to the generous heart, sterling

Adjustment of a social settlement in
chicago.
Hull House is situated right in the
leart of ChicagO's poor, in Halstead
street. It came to Miss Adams
through Miss Helen Culver, a niece of
It's builder and the man for whom the
settlement is now named. It had been
built by it's owner years ago for his
own home and in the belief that the
city would grow that way. It did grow
that way and became one of the most
congested sections of Chicago but was
peopIed by all nations and of a class
of humanity unused to the fine usages
of life, unused to social restrictions
and wholly without the pale Of refined
society When Miss Culver learned
that Miss Adams intended founding
a social settlement she gave her Hull
House. From the spacious mansion
which was once to have been a rich
mans home the settlement has extend
ed into a block of buildings and here
is the genuinely happy home of Chi
cago's poor.
One Of the adjuncts of the settlement
IS the Jane Club, an organization of
self supporting young women who are
making an effort to live up to the ideal
offered them in the personality of their
benefactor. The club is directly I'd.
der the supervision of Miss Adams
and every employe of the house, and
in fact every one of the settlement, is
responsible personally to her.
Miss Adams believes in the people,
trusts them and looks to them for the
proper disposition Of their duties and
their lives and in this way she has
come nearer their hearts, nearer their
condolences and nearer making them

MAY BECOME A SENATOR.
Speculation as to Future of PreSl-
dent Roosevelt After Term
Expires.

When Mr. Roosevelt retires from the
office of President of the United States
he will be but ffty-one years of age,
and just entering upon his intellectual
prime. Will he be content to go into
retirement from politics? If so, he will
have to forego his present love of doing
things. Much, however, depends on
chance If he shall be as popular when
he retires as he is at present, Or half as
popular, he will remain the head of his
party, and should he desire political
prefer1nent, he will get it.
After his retirement from the Presi-
dency, George Washington was given
command of the army in our actual but
not declared war with France John
Quincy Adams made more fame the
nine terms he was in Congress the last
eighteen years of his life than in all
his previous political career. General
Jackson retired from the Presidency in
1887, but he was the head of his party
until his death, in I845. He dictated his
successor, and his will was law to both
Van Buren, and Polk. Van Buren, was
a politician until he died. He elected
Polk in 1874 and defeated Cass in 1913
General Grant was candidate for
President in 1880, and had his man
ayers acted with little more sagacity,
he would have been nominated, and per-
haps elected. Grover Cleveland was
elected President in 1892 after his re-
tirement in 1880.
Mr. Roosevelt is the youngest of the
Presidents, and when he retires in 1909

see the big side of life rather than the
one to which their eyes might other
wise often turn.
She is always to be found by the
lowliest ready to listen to an appeal
for help, ready to give each and every
one her strength and support and as
ready to see and help stranger as
the Oldest habitue of the settlement.
Jane Adams occupies peculiar po-
sition in the public eye. She has no
religious creed or, if she has, she does
not thrust it on her people. AL sorts
Of doctrines are preached in Hull
House but Miss Adams permits this
through the fact that her generosity
of spirit is big enough to allow every
one his own opinion. She is regarded
with the highest esteem by officials of
the city and is frequently asked to ad-
dress large meetings. When she does
this she is listened to with strict at
tention.
Miss, Adams is a brilliant example
of a woman who, having all in life
has not permitted herself to be salts
fed with her lot While others have suf-
fered. She has devoted time, money
and all the energy in her big self to
the uplifting Of the lowly, to the spirit
ual welfare of the poor when that
could be done through kindness alone
and to the bodily comfort and enjoy
ment of these people by giving them
every means within her power to for

Man of the Hour.

And so Mr.. Charles E. Hughes is the
subject of no little speculation. The
obscure New York lawyer of the other
day is a powerful man Of this day.
He is mentioned for both political and
business honors. He might have been
the Republican candidate for mayor in
the recent municipal campaign, and
had he been might likely have swept
the city. He is now mentioned for
his party's leadership in next years
gubernatorial campaign. He is like
wise suggested for the presidency of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company.
And should he decline preferment in
both of these lines, and decide to stick
to his profession, he is assured of a
vast increase over the practice than he
enjoyed before.
All of which goes to show that it
pays to do whatever you set out to dc
with all your heart and mind.

CoIoring Matter in Food.

Since we have been brought face to
face with the fact that most every
article constituting our daily diet con-
tains some artificial coloring matter,
there has been a demand for some
method by which we can test such foods
in order to determine whether or not
they contain artificial co1oring. The
Department of Agriculture has but re-

classification of the colors used in food
products as well as methods for their
