In social circles the period and the condi-

III most grateful for this fuss be-
tween President Roosevelt and

No matter how high n man may rise

1t is perhaps unfortunate that this

must be spread upon the records OF

nothing really serious about it. An
International affair it is in Il sense, but

put her talents to such use that she is
entitled to be called an artist In fact,
her fame is international among those
who know and appreciate beautiful
and original creative work.
1t was Mrs. Storer who founded the
famous lockwood pottery establish

name. In her charming and brilliant
girlhood she had been i skillful deco
rator of china and porcelain. Her

and when she met Mr.. Nichols, a
young artist. who also wrote poetry
and who was poor. she fell in love
with him. It is understood that her

were welded nevertheless. Mr. Mich

liant Cincinnati lawyer. Bellamy Sto-
rer, son of the noted Judge Bellamy
Storer of that city, became her hus-
band.
An International Triumph.
All the friends of the BeIlamy Sto-
rers seem to agree that the couple is
most happily mated Both are well
educated. highly cultivated and ambi-
tioUs. Mrs. Storer at first was anbi-
tious along artistic lines and later for
the political preferneat of her hus-
band. At TIE Philadelphia centennial
she first became intensely interested
in pottery work. Suggestions received
there caused her to devote much time
to experiments with the pottery clays
of Indiana and Ohio. with the result
that she evolved 4 new and distinc-
lively American branch of that art
Her lockwood creations went abroad,
where in turn they We're ascribed to
China, Germany, France and Spain.
The Europeans scarcely could believe
that America was capable of produc-
ing such beautiful and original work
1t was an international triumph for the
Cincinnati artist
Later, when Mr.. Storer was serving
as United States minister successfully
at Brussels and Madrid. Mrs. Storer
turned her attention 10 the production
of artistic vases and other ornaments
in brass and bronze achieving such
results that her fame was largely in
creased.
Very Ambitions For Her Husband.
But of late years this woman of I'M
usual accomplishments has devoted
her best energies to the advancement
of her husband. While Mr.. Storer un-
doubtedIy is man of large ability,
many friends of the family give credit
to Mrs. Storer for much of bis advance
ment. '.She is exceedingly ambitious
for Bellamy," they used to say. and il
cannot. be denied that the recently
published letters from Mrs Storer to
the president prove the truth of the
statement.

After all is said and done and for
gotten about, the fact must remain that
the able daughter of Joseph Long
worth has exercised a remarkable in
fuence over the minds of two preSi-
dents of the United States. The letters
of President Roosevelt to her and the
undisputed friendly admiration of MIR.
Mckinley prove this. This revelation
is something new in American politics
and is interesting TO that extent. Wo-
man cannot vote except in Colorado
and Utah. but she can influence. Along
this topic our highly esteemed British
contemporary the Pail Mall Gazette
expresses some readable opinions,
which an ungallant New York paper
reprints under the caption ''Petticoats
In Politics. The Gazette says that the
core and kernel of the controversy be-
tween the president and Bellamy Sto-
rer, not forgetting Mrs. Storer, appears
to be whether MIR. Roosevelt author
lied the ambassador to do his best
with the pope to obtain the red hat for
Archbishop Ireland. That, of course, is
the way it looks to n man up tree or
on the ground in America. But our
Pail Mall contemporary continues:
There is, however the further Ques-
ton of what the French would call
.fingerence feminine and its influence
upon the behavior of the ambassador.
Unless Roosevelt has taken an alto
gether unbiased view of the conduct
of Nine. rAmbassadrice we must con-
fess that the case Is one which might
fairly be quoted in Justification of Her

The Tablets are the best to use in cases
of Stomach Trouble which take the form
of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Sour Stomach,
etc. because they tone up the system and
stimulate the flow of gastric juice, thus
very effectively aiding the digestive organs
to perform their proper functions. Their
