ROOSEVELT CALLED AGAIN.

II Everybody takes a shot at the es
teemed President Roosevelt these
days. The executive has developed
a most unfortunate habit of writing
without thinking, of discussing sub

iarizing himself with it. For exam.
pie. in his letter to Representative
committee on agriculture that has
the meat inspection bill under con
sideration, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"There seems to be one point Tin
the amended bilD in which 1t is pos
sible that the amendment is even
worse than the original amendment.
II as seems likely, there is no provis-
ion for making plants accessible at
all hours to the inspectors.
In reply to this criticism Repres-
entative Wadsworth invites the atten-
tion of the president to a designated
section of the bill which reads: "And
for the purpose of such examination
and inspection, said inspectors shall
have access to every part of said es-
tablishments." And other section
specifically provides that the secre-
tary of agriculture, shall cause an ex-
animation and inspection to be made
during the night time, when the
slaughtering of said cattle, sheep.
swine and goats, or the the prepara-
tion of said food products is conduct
ed during the night time"
Mr.. Wadsworth wants to know IL
the English language could be any
palmer than that. We do not see
how it could be palmer. Mr. Roose-
welt certainly suggests nothing plain
er. And 1t is grossly unfair, though
in accordance with his usual custom,
for the president to impugn the mot
Ives of the house committee when
apparently he has not taken the
trouble to read the bill. The trouble
with Roosevelt is that he takes II
for granted that everybody save him
self and few of his advisers is dis
honest. No man can disagree with
him, however honestly, and be re-
garded by Roosevelt as a sincere.

FIRE NEAR SUGAR FACTORY

The fire department had long
run Saturday evening about six o.
clock when a large pile of lumber
lying near the sugar factory was dis
covered to be on fire and the alarm
turned in. When the call came in II
was announced that the sugar fac
tory itself was on fire and it looked
very much as If such were the case.
The ILLUSION attracted many peo-
pie from town as soon as 1t was. gem
orally known where the fire was sup
posed to be, and a large crowd of
people started out in that direction
expecting to see a pretty disastrous
fire.
The fire depadrment soon discov-
cred their mistake but as the fire was
assuming large proportions they con
tinued on their way. Arriving at
the scene 1t was found to be impos-
sible to connect with a fire plug and
a couple of men were dispa tched to
the smelter to procure a small hoose
to attach to the hydrant. The men
soon brought a considerable length
of hose which was attached to one
of the hydrants in the sugar factory
and the firemen went after the fire
with the one small stream
They soon saw that ii was use
less to try to put out the fire then
under way and went to work to save
the other piles of lumber. The fire
men say it was one of the hottest
fires they ever fought The fire was
caused by sparks from a passing To-

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
To Remove Grease Spots From Carpets
and Clothing.

Spots on carpets and unwashable
clothing are not difficult to remove.
First brush out any dust that may
lave gathered on the soiled place.
Then rub powdered French chalk,
or, if this is not at hand, common
chalk or magneSla, on the wrong
side of the fabric if YOU can get
at it. If not, apply paste of the
alkali to the right side and cover
to exclude the dust. Leave it thus
for twenty-four hours. Now lay
several tbicknesscs of tissue or of
blotting paper over the chalk and
set a moderately hot iron on it,
shifting the paper as the grease ap-
pears on the surface. This is best
done by working from the wrong
side. If all the oil is not extracted,
sponge with household ammonia and
renew the alkali.

A LION STORY.
Tragic Experience With One Of the
African Man Eaters.

"Many years ago." says a writer,
"before the arrival of the railway
and the sportsman in east Africa,
the natives were decimated by lions.
1t was impossible in some districts
to procure mail carriers. Appalling
stories are still related of the fear
less ferocity of these beasts. The
llilway was building at kiu. Several
coolies had been carried off by an
old lion, and one night Ryall, an
English engineer who had seen
much service in India, decided to sit
up in a railway carriage on the
chance of getting shot. With him
were Mr.. Huebner, the German con-
sui, and an Italian, Parenti. The
night was dark, with but little
moon, and after midnight Ryall
commented upon the brightness of
the fretlies near the carriage and
also remarked that he had seen a
rat repeatedly. cross and recross a
spot where the steel rail glinted in
the moonlight.
