A Kindly Smile.

Mrs. Coke has the same kindly greet
ing for every one, whether he be the
miner, blackened with the CRIME and
dust of the mine, or in a higher sta
ton of life. She suggests to the parent
that in the home there should be i'm
portant training of the children, but
the idea is never advanced excepting in
a spirit of kindness and Of the broad
est kind of sympathy. Her love for
the masses is not simulated; 1t is the
joy Of her heart. She has paid the rent
for many a widow and orphan; has
helped out so that the little ones may
attend school, and has provided the
mother with employment so that the
home may be kept together.
Mrs. Coxe's home, like her life, is the
paragon of modesty; she leads the
Simple life" in all its real simplicity.
Her chief aim seems to be to assist the
poor and needy. She has no pet phil
anthropics; there are no endless calls
upon her time from society folk; there
are no wonderful gowns, no costly mil
linery; no splendor Of jewels, laces or
sables adorn her person. 1t is not,
after all, the charity which she dis
penses that has won for her the love
and admiration of the toilers Of the
mines, and that of their wives and lit
tie ones, but it is the purity of her
character that constantly teaches
beautiful lesson, not only to the mining
town, but to the world at large which
may study to its own Improvement the
generous, unselfish, sacrificing life OF
this noble woman.

time was not worrying Uncle Joe was
manifested by the hearty hand-clasps
with which he greeted his friends, as
well as the salutations extended to
those who confused years with age.
Uncle Joe was seventy years young"
President Roosevelt joined in the
ovation, offering the Speaker his
hearty congratulations, not because he
was getting old, but because he was
doing it gracefully. Mr.. Cannon did
two things which might worry many
a younger man. First he hadsto sign
something over thousand photo
graphs of himself, which were given to
the guests as souvenirs, and again he
shook hands with the guests upon re-
ceiving an equal number of personal
congratulations.
There were many sly digs and re-
marks regarding the buzzing Of the
presidential bee around Mr.. Cannon's
head, and one of the throng remarked
at the close of the reception, ANY man
who can stand and shake hands with
twelve hundred or more persons be-
tween nine and twelve o'clock, and not
show signs of fatigue, is well fit to
enter the presidential race, and ought
to enjoy the prize if he wins it,
There were many friends present
from Danville, ILL.,, who had sent Il
number of handsome wreaths and
floral decorations. Mr.. Cannon, how
ever, is a native of Guilford, n. c.,
and if his friends have their way the
Speaker will be the first Southern man
since the war to become q White
House occupant.
Speaking seriously Of the presidency,
Mr.. Cannon said, mo man would de-
cline to become President of the
United States, but not all men can af-
ford to be a candidate for the place.
The bee is not bothering me. l want
to do my work as Speaker; that will be
glory enough for me, and if / were
a candidate I'd have to lie about my
age, and I'd have to live constantly in
fear and trembling, not as to whether
I'm doing my duty, but as to whether
by doing my duty, 1 wouldn't give Of
Tense to somebody.

both Houses of Congress. members Of
the Cabinet and the diplomatic corps,
sit side by side with the merchant,

keenly enjoying the national pastime.
The big men of this and other nations
in the capital are base ball fans Of
the highest degree, and are glad to
eschew court decisions, railroad and
other legislation, national and inter-
national topics for the less weighty
decisions of the diamond. AS soon as
business can be transacted at the
Capitol and in the departments it is
customary for these distinguished
base ball enthusiasts to betake them
selves to National Park for an after
noon of enjoyment, roofing for their
favorite teams and resting from af-
fairs of State.
The different teams throughout the
country like to visit Washington for
the privilege of playing before the
most distinguished spectators to be
found in any country on the globe.

the Mexican Gulf, and had taken q
Florida Jewish and a tarpon; and I
saw that work of q similar kind was
before me now. The line jerked
heavily in my hand, then began to
run steadily. When about feet had
gone over the gunwale 4 stopped, gave
a glance at the coil to see that all was
clear, and when the line came taut
jerked the hook into my first Jewish.
Il have every reason to believe that
the latter was astonished, as for q
single second there was no response;
then came jerk that almost lifted me
from the boat, and the line went hiss
ing over the rail like living thing,
playing a merry hornJipe of its own
composition. Nothing could stop such
a rish, and l simply waited, while Joe
pulled up the anchor. When the latter
was in, | grasped the line and braced
back for the fight. The light boat
whirled around like q top, and away
we went, like tug surging through
the water, an ominouS wave Of foam
rising high around the bow.
"a 10-foot shark never pulled harder
than this gamey fish, and for minutes

took it in with the greatest difficulty,
gaining 10 feet, only to have the fish
rush toward me and then dash away
with an impetus that was more than
irresistible. Then 1 would stop him
again, slowly making foot by foot,
hand over hand, taking turn on the

to tire the monster-tacticS that for q

duced an effect equivalent to striking
blows at the holder of the line-tre-
mendous jerks that came, one, two,
three! then one, two, three!-then the
line would slacken as the fish rushed
up. And if l took the line in quickly
enough to prevent a turn, well and
good; if l did not, the fish would turn
and dash at the bottom, making every
thing hum and sing.
Giving and taking, hauling and cas-
ing off, for 20 minutes, l was almost

duty in the premises, when suddenly
the fish rushed up, and recov, ring,

brought the black giant to the surface.
For a moment l saw q pair of eyes
as large as those of an OK, rich chest

struggle. I kept my hold, and with

INA message to Congress Yesterday

INA message to Congress Yesterday
afternoon. az was mentioned in the Ga
zette of that day, President Roosevelt
expressed his disapproval of the recent
decision of Judge Humphrey in the beef
packers cases, and calls upon Congress
10 euact such legislation as will prevent
such miscarriages of justice in the future.
While the decision was obviously a
wrong one, the President fears that 1t
may be accepted as the construction of
the law which the courts will follow,
aud therefore he points out the necessity
of legislation. He asks for law that
will give the government the right TO
appeal from such decisions, and also a
declaration from Congress that its anti
trust legislation was not intended to ac-
cord immunity to all persons from whom
officers of the government obtain infor-
nation when conducting Investigations
under the express direction Of Congress.
He shows clearly that the very purposes
of Congress in creating the Bureau of
Corporations and the Interstate Com
merce Commission may be defeated by
such action of the courts as that taken
by Judge Humphrey, and that the ei-
feet of legislation can be nulliGed and
destroyed.

Realizing the fact that this field is not

This means the end OF n long andshard

There was room in Norfolk for but one
newspaper of the class Of the Public
Ledger and the Dispatch. One of them
had TO die. The Public Ledger had the
enormous advantage Cf occupying the
ground first, and having an established
name, place, following and organization.
How vast that advantage is few people
