With KingIy 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 defed 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
unar'cnd, locked the door behind him,
and then reasoned ith 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 farewell handshake. the
King left him, he was totally subdued,
and ready to meet his fate the next
morning like a soldier.

The American Spoke First.

The American in the corner Of the
English first-class carriage insisted on
lighting his cigar. The indignant Brit
isher in the other corner protested,
but protested in vain. At the next sta
ton he hailed the guard, with hostile
intent; but the cool American was too
quick for him. Guard" he drawled,
"I think you'll find that this party here
is travelling with third-class ticket
on him" Investigation proved him
to be right, and the indignant Britisher
was triumphantly elected. A spec
tator of the little scene asked the
American how he knew about that
ticket. "Well," explained the imper-
turbable stranger, "the corner was
sticking out of his pocket and I saw
it was the same color as mine"

MAY BECOME A SENATOR.
Speculation as to Future Of Pres1.
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
1897, but he was the head of his party
until his death. in I84s. 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 I848.
General Grant was a candidate for
President in 1880 and had his man
ayers acted with little more sagacity,
haps elected. Grover Cleveland was
elected President in 1892 after his re-
tirement in 1880

HULL HOUSE.
MISS JANE adams THE PATRON
SAINT OF A MOST REMARK
ABLE INSTITUTION.

Nall Game Has Said that It is the
Most Complete Social Settlement
In the Wogld-Founder Wonderful
Woman.
The name Of Jane Adams is known
Today from one end of this vast coun-
Try to another, and included in that
space are thousands Of men, women and
children who regard her almost in the
light of a patron saint.
Miss Addams is the founder and
present chief moving spirit of Hull
-ktouse, Chicago, the greatest social set
Element ever known in this country.
Hull House is not really one house
but a series of buildings which have
grown up around one big dwelling
which years ago was given over to
Miss Adams for the accommodation
NJ 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

iete social settlement in the world
nd IL this be so it is a fitting monu-
ient to the generous heart, sterling
haracter and unbounded sympathy OF
n founder, Miss Jane Addams.
Miss Addams is now forty-dve years
Id. She was born in .edarville, Ill.
fter graduating at a well known col
pge she followed the example of her
kher young women friends and lived
life of ease and pleasure. She spent
or time mostly in reading and travel
nd gradually the thought came to her
nat she was absolutely without pur-
ose in life. She saw the poor around
or. got to know their cares and wor-
ies and cast about for a means by
yhich she could do them some good.
The decided to become a physician and
pok a years course in a Philadelphia
ollege. At the end Of that time she
vas compelled to rest and so went
broad to study social conditions. The
esult of her observations was her re-
urn to America and the immediate es-
ahfish ment of a social settlement in
Ehicago.
Hull House is situated right in the
,eart of Chicago's poor, in Halstead
rtreet. It came to Miss Addams
hrough Miss Helen Culver, niece OF
6s builder and the. man for whom the
settlement is now 1.med. 1t had been
puilt by its owner years ago for his
ywn home and in the belief that the
sity would grow that way. 1t did grow
hat way and became one OF the most
eongested sections of Chicago but was
Deopled by all nations and of a class
NJ humanity unused to the fine usages
pf 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
a the Jane Club, an organization of
self supporting young women who are
making an effort to live up to the ideal
offered them in the personality Of their
benefactor. The club is directly un-
der yhe supervision of Miss Addams
and \every employe Of the house, and
I'm fact every one of the settlement, Is
responsible personally to her.
Miss Addams believes In the people,
trusts them and looks to them for the
proper disposition Of their duties and
their lives and in this way she has
come nearer their hearts, nearer their
condolences and nearer making them

Sir Conan Doyle considers Napo-
leon as perhaps the most wonderful
man who ever lived. He writes that
what strikes him most 'Nrcibly Is the
lack Of fnality in his character.
When one decides that he is a COM
plete villain, he reads Of some noble
trait, al then loses his admiration
In some act Of incredible meanness.
But here was you. :; man, OF
thirty years, with no social advan-
tages, very little edv"ation4 his
family poverty striken, entering a
room in company with Kings, each
and every one jealous of any atten-
tons shown by him to any one Of
them.
He must have had some private
charm, for his intimate friends loved
and worshipped him, and withal he
was the most amazing and talented
liar that ever lived, and one who told
the truth only to himself.

seemed fantastic and impossible, his

Since we have been brought face to
face with the fact that most every

And 80 Mr.. Charles e. Hughes Is the
subject of no little speculation. The
obscure New York lawyer of the other

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

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.
