Speculation as to Future Of PreSIs
dent Roosevelt After Term
Expires.

When Mr.. Roosevelt retires from the
office of President of the United States
he will be but fifty-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
preferment, 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 1876. 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.

Woman.
The name Of Jane Adams is known
hO-day from one end Of this vast coun-
Try to another, and included in that
pace are thousands of men, women and
children who regard her almost in the
light of a patron saint.
Miss Adams is the founder and
present chief moving spirit of Hull

Element ever known in this country.
Hull House is not really one house
but series of buildings which have
grown up around one big dwelling
which years ago was given over to
Miss Adams for the accommodation
of the city's working people. The set
nement includes a museum, theatre, a
restaurant and various other buildings
which are for the sole use of people to
whom life's joys are overbalanced by

nlete social settlement in the world
md If this be so it is a fitting monu'
nent to the generous heart, sterling
character and unbounded sympathy OF
rs founder, Miss Jane Adams.
Miss Adams is now forty.fiye years
old. She was born in .edaryille, Ill.
After graduating at well known col
aege she followed the example of her
sther young women friends and lived
q life of ease and pleasure. She spent
her time mostly in reading and travel
and gradually the thought came to her
ahat she was absolutely without a pur-
rose in life. She saw the poor around
her, got to know their cares and wor-
ries and cast about for a means by
which she could do them some good.
She decided to become physician and
took q years course in a Philadelphia
college. At the end of that time she
was compelled to rest and so went
abroad to study social conditions. The
result of her observations was her re-
turn to America and the immediate es-
adjustment of a social settlement in
Chicago.
Hull House is situated right in the
heart of Chicago's poor, in Halstead
utreet. It came to Miss Adams
through Miss Helen Culver, a niece OF
its builder and the man for whom the
settlement is now named. 1t had been
built by its owner years ago for his
own home and in the belief that the
city would grow that way. 1t did grow
that way and became one OF the most
eongested sections Of Chicago but was
peopled by all nations and of 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 ART
making an effort to live up to the idea
offered them in the personality of theil
benefactor. The club is directly un
der the supervision of Miss Addam'
and every employe of the house, ant
In fact every one of the settlement, Il
responsible personally to her.
Miss Adams believes in the people
trusts them and looks to them for tn,
proper disposition of their duties ant
their lives and in this way she hal
come nearer their hearts, nearer thei
condolences and nearer making then

With Kingly Courage.

In Sweden a remarkable story is
told Of King Oscars courage and re-
solution
The narrative recounts that soldier,
man of immense stature, while lying
under sentence of death secured a
long knife, and defied 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
unarmed, locked the door behind him,
and then reasoned it'll the convict.
1t would have been a remarkable in
terview, even IL 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 a farewell handshake, the
King left him, he was totally subdued,
and ready to meet his fate the next

made it the most interesting portion of

some reason. did not appeal to the

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 1t
pays to do whatever you set out to dc

legal counsel, and again difficulty was
encountered in securing it. The man
who had so satisfactorily served the

begging for few days, until at last
a Brooklyn lawyer accepted. Upon his
suggestion, however, the man abroad,
who was really desired, was cabled on
the subject and engaged to assist in
the work. After the work began this
assistant virtually became the lead
