The Third Term Idea.

The Third Term Idea.
The dream of third term In the
White House for President Roosevelt
is fondly cherished by his incense
swingers. Many palpitating patriots
holding fat offices under him or seeing
them by the eye of faith are playing
Mark Anton to his Julius Caesar. On
the subject of the third term the Wash
ingtoIt Post, independent. discourses
editorially in this wise:
PREMATURE"
The New York Tribune says. Even
Republicans have caught the Democratic
fashion of prematureness and in the west
and southwest are demanding that Presi-
dent Roosevelt run again for the presi-
dency. And thereunto the Boston Her
aid responds:
rs not prema tureness queer word to
use in the circumstances? Is the boom
merely arriving too early? Does our Re-
publican contemporary believe that 1t
should be started later7 Surely it would
be hard to make the president go back
on the absolute declaration which he
made on the evening of election day two
years ago. Does the Tribune expect him
to if his party asks it? It looks that way
If the present agitation is only 'prema-
ture.'
It may be that the Tribune, while not
actually expecting the denomination of
President Roosevelt for another term
which he has said he would regard as a
third term-looks upon such an event as
not highly improbable. If so, the Trib-
une's view is not by any means excep-
tionaI. 1t was not strange that the pres
ident on the heels of his amazing trt-
umph in 1904, realizing that he could not
hope for repetition of that marvellous
occurrence, made the most positive dec
Iaration that words could contain OF his
determination not to be a candidate
again 1t is not strange that, having
made that solemn declaration, he has
since repeated it. But he is assumed to
know, and the Tribune and the Herald
are assumed to know, that under condi-
tions which are possible it is the duty OF
any president to comply with the de-
mands of his party SO far as to accept q
denomination regardless of his inclina-
lions or declarations. 1t is always posi-
BILE for president to be confronted by a
condition that would set aside and sweep
away an absolute declaration" dec
iaration as positive and comprehensive as
that which Mr.. Roosevelt recorded and
which he has said is ''irrevocable."

it's stimulative effect was exhausted,
and he sat thinking duly of what was
almost certain to happen in a very
brief space of time. The timepiece
on the mantel sounded it's fairy call at
each half-hour, but he still sat on
brooding It was past 10 o'clock when
he went back to the room in which
Billery lay asleep, and there attired
himself for out of doors. When he
had completed his preparations he
switched out the light and was max
ing for the door when something
tripped him at the feet and brought
him to his knees. He CROPPED in the
darkness for a moment, and then, re-
covering himself, went out, softly
closing the chamber door behind him.
He was feeling very miserable and
upset, and when he reached his club
he did what was for him very un-
usual thing. He called for bottle of
champagne in the dining room, and
emptied it there in solitude The
diners had all gone away to their sew
eral pursuits. The theater-goers had
not yet returned, and the place was
very solitary, eerie, and forlorn. There
was a party in the card room, but he
declined the place offered him, and,
having lighted a cigar, allowed it to
go OUT again, and sat SO sleepy and
stupid that some of the players rallied
him upon his gloomy mood
81 am not WE'LL" he said, in answer
to one of them. II have beastly
headache for one thing, and for an
other that fellow Billery-you know

tations. l think I shall ask them to
give me a shakedown here. I left a
kit here fortnight ago"
ooh, Billery!" said one of the play
ers, shuffing at the pack. "Billery
has been a hopeless case for years"
Alexis put his idea into execution
and had a room prepared for him. He
mounted to it, and ordered more wine
there, and still sat brOoding, with two
people mainly in mind. The unwel-
come guest now lying at his chambers
was one of these, and his cousin Alloy
sius was another. There was horror
upon him which he could not shake
away, a sense of something terrible
impending which clogged his heart
and weighed upon bis lungs and at
f1icted him like a nightmare.

CHAPTER VII.

At the hour of midnight the sleek
and respectable Gervase, who was
Alexis Brangwyns body-servant, and
out on leave, was chalking his cue for
a final hundred up at billiards with
the marker at the Crown and Cushion
when a friend of his, who valeted a
gentleman on the floor Immediately
above Brangwyn's rooms, came in in
some disorder, and, catching sight Of
him after a swift glance about the
room, advanced hurriedly and plucked
him by the sleeve.
Come home at once" he whispered.
There may be something very seri-
Gus the matter"
What is it," asked Gervase.

the other. 81 can tell you all about it
as we 60"
Upon this, moved by something
very serious in his friends face, Ger
vase scrambled hastily for his hat and
coat, threw down on the billiard table
the payment for his score, and left the
room.
'Well, what is it," he asked again,
half-running at the others side.

You'll find there's no mistake
about that when you get there" said
the other. "You could cat it with a

There was really no possibility of
mistake as to the locality of the es-
cape The atmosphere about Brang-
wyn's door was dense and sickening,
and Gervase had no sooner applied his
latchkey than the odor rolled out on
the stairway in an invisible nause-

Mouth and Eyes Covered With crusts

Cure by Cuticura.
when my little boy was six months
old he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor, but
ne could not help him, and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat
tiers became SO bad that he had regu-
lar holes In his cheeks large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chests and back, in short, the
whole body was covered over and
Whenever he was laid in his bed we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. / think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
1--WE finally thought nothing could
help, and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope. hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed
decided improvement. just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi-
