weak, the champion of the defenseless,
fearless herald of reform. He inn
presses them as an unselfish and in
domitable advocate of their rights, their
welfare, their manhood, and their dignity.
The constant activity, the unrelenting
insistence, and the imperious force with
which he compels attention and rivets
public interest and solicitude no doubt
offered, perhaps exasperate, in certain
quarters; but the great body of the
American people feel that he is their
friend, and they requite him with
fervent faith and gratitude. They thrill
responsive to his boldness, his impulsive
unconventionality, his almost boyish
vigor and enthusiasm. He presents to
them spectacle of captivating dash and
brilliancy, of romantic devotion to high
ideals, of courage without calculation,
and an energy consecrated to unselfish
ends. Above all, there is the engaging
figure of President speaking frankly
for the people, ignoring precedents, and
going straight to the mark he has set be-
fore him without thought of consequences
to himself No one can deny that it is
novel and inspiriting apotheosis. None
need wonder that it captures the popular
imagination.
Of the argument employed to his dis
credit with special emphasis and fire.
quency-the argument that he is doing
all these things for the purpose of secur-
ing another term as President-it is diff
cult to speak with patience. Certainly
President Roosevelt has made no attack
or advocated any policy of reform the
result of which could by any chance
weaken the Democratic position or exalt
the party of which he is the chosen
leader. So far from making an appeal
to the Republican organization or offer
ing to the machine the very smallest
overture of ingratiation, it is fact that
every propaganda he has launched and
every assault he has inspired has had
for its proposed victim some creature of
purely Republican origin and breeding.
He has accused high protection and the
privileged trusts, which are its legitimate
offspring. He has attacked monopoly
and the tyrannies that flourish in its
shadows. Instead of plotting for party
favor, he has conspicuouly repudiated
and defied it.
Maybe Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt is the
shrewd, self-seeking, heartless aspirant
his enemies would have us believe; may
be he is working for another nomination
and another term. But, if so, he is mas
ter of finesse of which Machavelli,
Borgia, Talleyrand, MatterEich, Cavour,
Disraeli never dreamed in their most in
spired moments. He must be more or
less than human, instead of the hearty,
impetuous, uncalculating good fellow the
American people think he is.-Washing-

Roosevelt as the People See Hin

President Roosevelt has occupied the
front of the stage during two of the most
eventful years of our political history.
He has been the focus of untold millions
of eyes, the center of every domestic
storm of controversy. On this account
he is the subject of considerable
amount of hostile criticism. On this
account, also, he has endeared himself
to the people of all classes and condi-
tons throughout the country. Later on
we may see how the criticism of the
disaffected few will figure as against
the affection and the confidence of
the great multitude of his fellow citi-
zens.
Meanwhile, it is not at all difficult to
identify the causes of Mr.. Roosevelts
wonderful popularity with the masses.
They see in him the protector of the

AutoistsiArraigned at BrattIeboro

Brattleboro, June 26.-Intense inter.
est was aroused this afternoon by the
bringing of complaints by Village Attor-
ney a. F. Schwenk, following directions
from the bailitfs, against the Is autoists
timed by officers Friday and by suisse
quent developments. The autoists were
summoned before Justice John H. Mer-
rifield and were charged with over
speeding. Fred C. Adams waived ex-
animation and was bound over to the
grand jury under bonds of $50. The
others decided to stand trial on the
question of whether there was cause for
binding them over.
The case against w. E. Haskell then
was taken up. The witnesses examined
were Policeman William Warren and
Deputy Sheriff c. l. Knapp, who testified
that Mr.. Haskell covered in 30 seconds

committee consisted of Mrs. Thomas
Millidge, Mrs. Charles T. Pendleton
and Mrs. Henry T. Sargent After
many trials the little church was fin
ally completed and has remained,
with few alterations, intact to the
present time.
After it had been finished and Mrs.
Eddy had been advised. the Oconto
people were surprised to learn that
they were pioneers in the movement.
Mrs. Eddy, in her reply, stated: "You
have built the first church" The first
service was held in the church on
October 81, 1856. Since that time two
have been called from the Oconto
church to assist Mrs. Eddy. They are
the Rev. Lanson p. Norcros and Mrs.

are arranged about an open space, and
and the tops, which are hinged, are
covered with wire netting. Inside the
boxes are lengths of drain pipe, in
and upon which the snails cling in
large numbers, and in all stages of
development.
Those bred at the Californian es-
Enlistment vary in size from that of
a pin-head when Matched to that of a
shilling when full grown. The shell
is of rich brown color. The snail
itself is translucent, and of a light
brown shade.
To prepare them for food, the snals
are kept for three or four weeks in
wine-soaked bran, where they fatten
rapidly, and are freed from all SUI
perfiuous and Shiny matter.
II this preparation be impossible,
the snails are taken from their shells,
and washed many times in salt and
water, or salt and vinegar. They are
then placed in stewpans, and cooked
in salt and water or milk.
Another method is TO boil them,
shells and all, with herbs and. cloves
until they fail from their shells. The
shells are then scrubbed. and a paste
, is made of parsley, butter, bread
crumbs, and white wine The meat is
replaced with this paste in the shells,

1t would lie an immense benefit to all
mankind if the stores of gold held by
individuals in India could be made

been gathering gold and hiding it away.

rooms WAS forty-ciGht feet long and
was filled with ornamcuts-uf gold and

MILLIONS FOR RELIEF
Money and Supplies Flowing Toward
Stricken CaIiTornians

Stricken CaIifornIans.
New York, April 23.-The voceless
appeal of san Francisco has been heard
throughout the civilized world From
every city and town in this country.
from European capitals and from the
far eastern communities comes news
that all humanity. in expressing its

are flowing toward the stricken Cali
fornia metropolis and the other cities
by the Pacific affected by the recent
disaster with a generosity UnpreCe-
denied in history.
From the incomplete figures Of the
contributions which have been made,
it is estimated here that the San Fran
cisco fund is rapidly nearing the total
Of $4,000, 600, and will have passed
that figure today. when the United
States congress, it is announced, will
add 81 500 600 to the 81 .000 900 already
appropriated from the treasury at
Washington. In the list of generous
contributors. New Work ranks next to
the government itself, and bids fair
to far exceed the federal contribution.
The New York fund amounted TO APP
proximately S2.O0O000. with contribu-
tions coming in fast.
The state of Massachusetts has UNI
dertaken to raise 100000, and with
BostOn's generous help is well on the
way to the goal. Chicagos fund, spon-

that sum. Philadelphia will send $780,

sums. \ score or more of cities are
contributing $780, 900 and more, while
hundreds of municipalities are sending

Nor is the work of raising relief
funds confined to the large cities. From

news of contributions made by small

aggregate will be enormous. Through
