PRESIDENT
BY ADVERTISEMENT,
HIS FRIENDS SAY
g Theodore Roosevelt,
Destroyer" Believed
to Come From Syn
dicate of Enemies.

Theodore OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES" tha
Quarter-paEe advertisement which has
been scattered broadcast throughout
the newspapers Of the country, Is not
p mere simple bait to induce the read
ing public to purchase copies Of a mag
ezine- According TO friends OF the Ad-
ministration, IL represents the first big
chunk OF the 100000 slush fund that
the foes Of the President raised last
winter 70 defeat his policies and dis
credit his name. Il IS & part of that
enormous collection which was first
brought to the Presidents notice and
shortly thereafter TO widespread publicity
through the medium OF guest at the
Bourne dinner" who f. the exuber-
ance Of good roOd and good wine con-
fided some OF the plans Of the anti
Roosevelt conspiracy TO a close friend
OF the Administration. thinking that his
listener was in sympathy with the Har-
riman-RockefeIler crowd.
Received at White House.
During the last few duys copies OF
the sensational advertisement have been
, sent 70 the White House from all parts
OF the country. and. as they have con-
tinued TO come IN from an ever-increas-
/ ing radius. the T-rssident's friends have
/ become more aad mere impressed with
the fact that none but a bottomIsss
purse could have paid the printers
| bill.
At the least computation. knowing the
class OF advertising that tho managers
/ OF the obscure magazine have invoked,
the men who wish to force Theodore
/ RoOsevelt-Destroyer' upon the readers
Of the nation must have spent at least
10000 on this item alone. This colos-
sal advertising bill could not in reason
be paid by a small publisher or any
coterie OF poor men. Only a syndicate
with unlimited capital and q purpose &c
drive home. regardless OF cost, could
be managing the publication, the Pres
ident's friends are convinced, and no ONT
but the men behind the vest corpora.
tions the President has attacked coulC
be responsible. None but these mel
could have the bitter motive, as vel
as the wherewithal, TO carry on tn,
crusade, and as the Presidents friends
have recently got wind OF other IN
stances where large sums OF rnoneI
have been used TO defeat HIS friends
they reason that the chain OF evidenc
Is very plausible, II not conclusive.
Within = few weeks vTG-S 6os bae,
I brought to Washington thar m certain
cities OF New York State the anti
\ Roosevelt politicians have suddenly be
come possessed OF large bank account
and have drawn upon them TO aid tn
Presidents enemies.

Appetizinq Meat SteWs.

It is at this season that meat stews, which require the long, slow cooking, will be found most appetizing and economical additions to the weekly menu. If you burn coal you have a fire all day any way, so that there will be no extra expense for fuel. Stews may be cooked on top Of the stove or in the oven, the general es- sentials being a moist, gentle heat that softens the flores and develops the juices of the meat. This process is known as fricaseeing, slowing or braising, and the finished product ap- pears as a stew, praise, a ragout, a haricot or saimi, according to season ing, method of cooking and serving, or the necessity of impressing upon the good man that he is eating specially swell dinner, such as he would pay dearly for at first-class restaurant.

When Makiru Pies,

Do not roll the paste too thin for pies or it will be dry and tasteless when baked. Divide the paste into two sheets and spread one over the bottom and sides of the tin. Now put in the fruit, heaping it higher in the center, and put over 1t the second sheet of paste as lid, pressing the edges closely down and then crimp- ing or notching them with a sharp little knife.
 When the fruit is juicy, place on the center of the under crust a small com mon teacup, laying the fruit around and over it. The juice will collect under the cup instead of between the edges of the pie. The fruit should be we'll sugared when placed in the pie.
 Preserves should never be put into covered pies.
 Pies should be eaten the day they are baked, if possible.
 Tarts are small shells filled with fruit

Arriculture In Afrfcn.

Excepting perhaps some Malayan tribes the African negroes are said to be the finest agriculturists of all the natural races. The Bongos are said to have greater variety of garden plants around their huts than are found in the fields and gardens of a German vil- lage. Irrigation Is practiced. The An golas, in the Kongo distrlcit, have prac- tical irrigation. The Wachangu show wonderful skill in irrlgating their ter raced hillsides by tunnels of water di- verted from the main stream. "They have clear mode of irrigating equally a given surface. AS the little canals of water are always elevated above the cultivated plants, they will tap them at u convenient spot above the beds to be watered and then turn the stream into rough conduit made of the hol- low stems of bananas cut In half, the end of each stem overlapping the next Then as the water enters the last joint 1t Is freely turned right and left, dis tributing the vivifying stream in all directions.

RELICS.
A Loom to Weave, a Musket to Shoot and Other Reminders of the Past.

A Loom to Weave, a Musket to Shoot
 and Other Reminders of the Past.
 Gibson Gillette of Lime Rock owns a number of reminders of bygone days. Among them are loom and musket. The. loom was used in the weaving of carpets, rugs, etc. It was home made and the substantial manner of it's con- struction shows that it's manufacture re- quired much time and no little skill. The musket has on the stock, silver plate bearing..the date of 1900. It is, of course, of the muzzle loading pattern. The wood used in it's construction is ourled maple. Although the weapon shows use,i is in good state of preserv- ation. In Mr. Gillette house and barn are many other relics which in these modern times are no longer available for practical use. He remembers dis tinctly the fax-spinning days, the days when the women with their looms and wheels made the raiment for the family. MT. Gillette remarks, and we all agree with him, that he believes there would be fewer fine dresses, cloaks, etc., to-day if the wearers had to labor as hard in their manufacture as the women of long ago labored to make the clothes they wore

A law passed at thc last session Of the Iowa legislature makes it neces. sary for the proprietors of separator creameries to pasterrize all milk be fore 1t Is returned to the patrons. This process is simply the heating of 1t for q short time at 40 degrees F. or above, which kills the germs which may be present in 1t. While the law seems to result In hardship for those creamery managers who are not equipped with facilities for so treating the milk, ye, the object in view-a prevention of the distribution of the disease infected milk from one or more herds among all the patrons of a creamery-seems to justify the means employed, even If 1t does cause inconvenience to the proprietors mentioned.

Sport Prospect.

Baseball and other matters dealing with outdoor life are beginning to re- ceive attention.

Asked about the real purpose of the first big

the tobacco company might have sat down
