The name Of Jane Adams is known
o-day from one end Of this vast coun-

pace are thousands of men, women and
eAildren who regard her almost in the
light of a patron saint.
Miss Addams is the founder and
present chief moving spirit of Hull
House, Chicago, the greatest social set
slement ever known in this country.
Hull House is not really one house
but a series of buildings which have
rown up around one big dwelling
which years ago was given over to
Miss Adams for the accommodation

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 def1ed, anyone to enter
his cell. i '.-
On hearing Of the circumstances the
King drove at once to the prison, and
disregarding the warning Of the of1ci-
ais. entered the mans cell alone and
unarnoed, locked the door behind him,
and then reasoned ith the convict.
1t would have been remarkable In
terview, even if 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 a farewell handshake, the
King left him, he was totally subdued,
and ready to meet his fate the next
morning like soldier.

At the front door he fumbled at the

"You will have to let me out" said
the burglar.

ete social settlement in the world
nd If this be so it is a fitting monu-
kent to the generous heart, sterling
haracter and unbounded sympathy Of
b founder, Miss Jane Adams.
Miss Addams is now forty-ive years
ID. She was born in .edarville, Ill.
fter graduating at well known col
lge she followed the example of her
her young women friends and lived
Life of ease and pleasure. She spent
Br time mostly in reading and travel
nd gradually the thought came to her
bat she was absolutely without a pur-
Dse in life. She saw the poor around

les and cast about for a means by
hich she could do them some good.
he decided to become physician and
eok a years course in a Philadelphia
bIlege. At the end of that time she
gas compelled to rest and so went
broad to study social conditions. The
bsult of her observations was her re-
|1rn to America and the immediate es-
kblishment of a social settlement in
|hicago.
Hull House is situated right in the
cart of Chicago's poor, in Halstead
kreet. It came to Miss Addams
Trough Miss Helen Culver, a niece of
b builder and the man for whom the
bttlement is now named. : 1t had been
uilt by its owner years ago for his
Wn home and in the belief that the
Rty would grow that way. 1t did grow
+ nat way and became one of the most
bngested sections of Chicago but was
eopled by all nations and of class
humanity unused to the fine usages
life, unused to social restrictions
nd wholly without the pale of refined
bciety. When Miss Culver learned
hat Miss Adams intended founding
social settlement she gave her Hull
ouse. From the spacious mansion
hich was once to have been a rich

j into a block of buildings and here
the genuinely happy home Of Chi
kgo's poor.
One OF the adjuncts Of the settlement

elf supporting young women who are
aking an effort to live up to the ideal
fered them in the personality of their
enefactor. The club is directly un-
pr the supervision of Miss Addams
hd every employe of the house, and
fact every one of the settlement, is
esponsible personally to her.
Miss Adams believes in the people,
usts them and looks to them for the

heir lives and in this way she has

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

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 a third-class ticket
on him" Investigation proved him

has changed such bills so they appro-

regarded by the members of the House
Interstate and foreign commerce COM

Sir Conan Doyle considers Napo-
leon as perhaps the most wonderful
man who ever lived. He writes that
what strikes him most f,rcibly is the
lack of fnality in his character.
When one decides that he is com.
plete villain, he reads of some noble
trait, al then loses his admiration
In some act of incredible meanness.
But here was a you; man, Of
thirty years, with no social advan-
tages, very little edrnation. his
family poverty striken, entering q
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.
An originator Of great schemes that
seemed fantastic and impossible, his
m"'esty Of detail brought success
where another man would have failed.

MAY BECOME A SENATOR.
Speculation as to Future of Presl.
dent Roosevelt After Term
Expires.

When Mr.. Roosevelt retires from the
Office of President of the United States
he will be but ffty-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
1887, but he was the head of his party
until his death, in 1845. 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 m 1874 and defeated Cass in 1S4s.
General Grant was candidate for
President in 1880, and had his man.
ayers acted with a little more sagacity,
he would have been nominated, and per-
haps elected. Grover Cleveland was
elected President in 1892 after his re-
tirement in 1880.

Presidents, and when he retires in 1909

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

one to which their eyes might other
wise often turn.
She is always to be found by the
lowliest ready to listen to an appeal
for help, ready to give each and every
one her strength and support and Is
ready to see and help stranger as
the Oldest habitue of the settlement.
Jane Adams occupies a peculiar Do
sition in the public eye. She has no
religious creed or, if she has, she does
not thrust it on her people. ALI sorts
Of doctrines are preached in Hull
House but Miss Adams permits this
through the fact that her generosity
Of spirit is big enough to allow every
one his own opinion. She is regarded
with the highest esteem by officials of
the city and is frequently asked to ad-
dress large meetings. When she does
this she is listened to with strict at
tention.
Miss Adams is brilliant example
OF woman who, having all in life
has not permitted herself to be satis-
fed with her lot while others have suf-
fered. She has devoted time, money
and all the energy in her big self to
the uplifting of the lowly, to the spirit
ual welfare of the poor when that
could be done through kindness alone
and to the bodily comfort and enjoy

And 10 Mr.. Charles E. Hughes Is the
subject of no little speculation. The

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

enjoyed before.
