Daisy LOGGED anxiously up and down

lake, but if she wanted TO catch that
6:34 train in the morning she must get

that he was too much of a fir ever to

But instead of going away Daisy ap-

his name, but it was not until the
third repetition of her "Mr. Cosgrove"
that he raised his head.
"Were you speaking to me?' he ask

that furnished the excuse for the dis

call him by his diminutive, and that
had been his defense Under ordinary
circumstances she would have been
furious. but she wanted very much to
go to Muriers wedding, and unless she
could catch that first train there would
be no hope of reaching town in time.
Il am sorry that startled you" she
said sweetly. 81 merely wanted to ask

 Memphis, Nov. 1S.-Eight persons to- night are known to have lost their lives and scores of others were injured, while property and crops suffered great dam- age, as a result of an almost unprece- dented wind and rain storm. The storm originated on the gulf last night from the northeastward through por- tions of Alabama, northern Mississippi and western Tennessee, raging scores of buildings, partly demolishing hun dreds of others, demoralizing railroad traffic and cutting telegraphic comniu- nication.
 Cotton blown down by the wind was beaten into the ground. A number of points directly in the path of the storm cannot be communicated with, and the loss to both life and property may be greatly increased by later news.
 Throughout the storm region rain continues to fall tonight, but in de- creased volume.
 The storm approached Athens, Ala, from the west and cut path 300 yards wide through the southern portion og that city.
 A score of buildings were wrecked, but no one was killed or seriously ir- jured.
 At Bolivar, Tenn, nine inches of rain fell in twenty four hours and thousands of heads of cattle were caught in the lowlands. Relief parties were out to- day, but because of the high stage of. the water little could be accomplished in rescuing the drowning cattle

 Pittsburg, Nov. 1S.-The epidemic of crime that has swept over this city and '. inity since November has appar- ently run its course, and to-day only a few small burglaries were reported.
 During the sixteen days three mur- ders were caused by thugs bent on rob- bery, carbolic acid was thrown in one woman's face, disflguring her for life; half hundred men were badly beaten; a hundred or more men and women were held up on the streets at the polnt of guns and robbed houses in all sec- tions of the city were broken into and thousands of dollars worth of valuables stolen; scores of suspicious persons have been arrested and sent to the workhouse; 200 additional policemen were added to the police force, and re- wards aggregating $7OOO were offered for the arrest of the murderers of James A. McMillen and Henry F. Smith.
 Detectives came here from other cities and endeavored to capture the marauders, and, notwithstanding the combined efforts of the authorities, failed to arrest any one directly impli- cated in the outrages.
 A few days following the McMillen murder hold-ups were so frequent that persons compelled to be out late at night purchased firearms.
 The police express the belief that the outrages were committed by rowing band of expert criminals, who have de- parted for other fields.

 ready Has Been DOne-Would Like
 to See One of His Own Sons Engaged

 Who Have Adversely Criticised
 Some One Asks: "How About Poult-
 ney Bigelow ?"
 Colon, Nov. 1S.--President Roosevelt and his party sailed Saturday night at 10 o'clock for Ponce, Porto Rico, on board the United States battleship Louisiana.
 After riding on horseback through the muddy streets of Colon Saturday after noon, the president went to the resi- dence of MT. Biers, general manager of the Panama railroad for dinner Those present included Chairman of the Canal Commission shonts, Chief Engineer Stevens and their wives, Secretary Latta and Surgeon General Rixey. The secret, service men with the presidential party dined at an adjoining house.
 At S:3O o'clock President Roosevelt reached Pier No. il, where there was an enthusiastic gathering of 800 per- sons, principally canal employees at Cristobal and other points along the line. Here the president ascended the bandstand and made a thirty minute speech. In giving his impressions of the work on the canal, he said he was pleased with what already had been done, and paid his respects to those who had adversely criticised the work.
 How about Poultney Bigelow?" came from among the audience.
 With much deliberation the president remarked that in every large work there was always some one to find something that was not done as 1t should have been; but the employees should on no account pay attention to such criticisms, as the critics would sink out of sight while the work the men were doing and had done would remain long after the criticism had been forgotten. He was so impressed with the magnitude and greatness of this work that he would like to see one of his sons engaged therein. He congrat- ulated all the heads of departments up- on the work being done and with es- pecial warmth he congratulated Cap tain George R. Shanton on hls success in maintaining order in the canal zone and in perfecting the splendid police force under his control In conclusion the president said he would like to re- main longer on the isthmus, but that 1t was necessary for him to get back to his work in the United States
 The president went off to the Louisi- ana at 9 a. m. He was accompanied by Surgeon General Rixey, Secretary Lat ta, Lieutenant Evans, and the secret service men. The Louisiana sailed al 10 p. m. The Washington and the Ten nessee were delayed In coaling at Chiri- qui, and did not get back here in time to sail with the Louisiana. They doubt less will join that warship on the way to Porto Rico.

lNpIAN AFFAIRS.
Last Congress Passed Much LegisIation
 of Vital Importance.

Last Congress Passed Much Legis1affon
 of Vital Importance.
 washington, Nov. 1s.-The annual re- port of Francis E. Leupp, commissioner of Indian affairs, was made public to- day. MT. Leupp says no congress pass ed so much legislation of vital impor- tance to the Indian as the last session of that body.
 To promote the training of the Indian in the culture of sugar beets, and to- secure legislation looking to an euuffa- ble division of tribal funds, thereby making the red man free and inde- pendent citizen, are the two projects for which the commissioner Is working hardest. TO carry out the beet sugar plan, legislation is needed authorizfng the extension of Indian land leases be- yond the five year period.
 Regarding the allotment of tribal funds, the commissioner says that while he would prefer notifications in the Lacey bill which passed the house and Is now before the senate, he would rather see this measure become law than to have no action taken.
 Indians have been encouraged during the past year to seek labor outside the reservations, with showing of bene- ficial results, which leads the commits sioner to regard this a valuable means of developing self-supporting independ- ence. The co-education of white and indian children in the public schools has been encouraged. To this end con- tracts have been made with county school authorities wherever practicable, and the result has been gratifying. The expenditure for the Indians for the past fiscal year aggregates $12,745,859.
 The commissioner explains that the items of largest increase were the one for fulfilling the treaty stipulations- S1, ,715, ,9M-- and the irrigation project, on which $8194,793 was spent A revi- sion of the methods of awarding con- tracts has been made, which the com missioner believes will result in a sav- ing of funds and in securing better supplies
 Mr. Leupp declares the Burk law of the last session will enable the Indian office to manage the affairs of the help- less class of Indians without dispute and to remove from the roll of wards and dependents the large and increas- ing number of Indians who no longer need any supervisio from @ bureau in Washington.
 Like his white neighbour Mir Le- upp said, "the Indian is of more than one sort, ranging from good degrees of intelligence, industry and then from the depths of helplessness, ignorance and vice"
