EVERY DAY q NEW ONE.
Forget Errors Of Yesterday h the
 PossibllltIes of Today.

Here is . pretty bit of optomistic philosophy, inspired by'so ordinary an occurrence as the daily sunrising:
 "Did you know the sun rose every morning? There are many persons who do not know this important fact, or, if they do know, they do not act accordingly. These persons carry yes terday's burdens and successes and failures. The failures of yesterday should be forgotten. because they dishearten us for today. The sue cesses of yesterday should not be remembered, because they will weigh against the larger possible successes of today The burdens of yesterday should have been buried yesterday. That Is one meaning of the sunrising. It shuts off yesterday. The sun rises as fair and bright and new this morn ing as though 1t had not risen anew every morning of these 5000 years. It brings a new day with new opportuni. ties. Yesterday is shut off from to- day by the curtain of the night and the sun rises in the morning to usher in the new day. There are men in this town who are gray with the burdens of yesterday when they might be buoy ant with the brightness of to-day's dawn. They have forgotten that the sun has risen.'

CROW HAD s2oo RING.
Feathered Pets Liking for Bright
 ThInas Was Unfortunate.

A $200 diamond ring was stolen from Mrs. Herman Stoddard's bed room, Verona. N. J.. the black thief was killed and the ring recovered.
 Mrs. Stoddard loves birds. She calls her home The Aviary." She feeds birds and builds homes for them on the estate. So they become quite fear less. but. of all, crow has shown the greatest tameness and familiarity.
 The windows of Mrs. Stoddard's room were open. her rings were on dresser. A maid entered the room; the crow was on the dresser; 1t said "caw" pleasantly to the maid, flew out of window and perched on a tree branch near. The maid told Mrs. Stoddard, who could not find her en- gagement ring, where she had left 1t. She was loath to believe that any of her pets was dishonest, but the crow was under such strong suspicion that Adolph Schmidt shot it. He cut open its crop; there was the ring.
 Around the birds leg was leather band with three links of small brass chain, sowing that 1t had been in cap tivity at some time.

GRANT EXPLAINS.
Army Commander Denies Crit icising Roosevelt.
PHILADELPHIA SPEECH MISQUOTED.
His Position on State Rights and San Francisco Japanese Schools Quite In Accord With That of
 the President.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Major Gen. eral Frederick Dent Grant, United States army, commanding the depart ment of the east, explained his re- marks at the dinner of the George G. Meade post, c. A. R. in Philadelphia, which were taken by most of the news papers reporting them as a criticism of President Roosevelt's action in ne- gotiating with Mayor Schmitz settle ment of the Japanese school question. General Grant said that his impression was that only two reporters were pres ent at the dinner. He thinks that one of them missed single word in his speech-the keyword to the paragraph which has since caused so much com ment:
 The general says he did not say: "One thing can state to you with positivcness, and that is had the incl dent occurred between the 4th of March, 1869. and the 4th of March, 1877, no such conference would ever have been held at the White House in Washington General Grant is sure that what he did say and what he in- tended to say was that under condi. tons as they existed during the time his father was president of the United States no such conference "could" have been held at the White House. And he Is quite certain that he neither in- tended to nor did say anything which could be interpreted as criticism of the president of the United States. All he wished to do was to call attention to the difference in conditions now and then.
 T only intended to speak about five minutes at the dinner" said General Grant. "I started ofr by telling that little story about the small boy who when well known public speaker ask ed him what he should speak about re- piled innocently, About a minute and I said would follow the little fellows advice.
 Tt was the question of state rights that led me to refer to the California episode. I referred to the conference the president had with the San Fran cisco committee. at the head of which was the indicted mayor of that city. I told them that regretted that present onditions-conditions entirely different from those following the civil war had made 1t necessary for the presi- dent to talk with the indicted mayor of California city in regard to our rela- tions with foreign power. and I add ed that in the years between 1869 and 1877 no such conference could have been held. The inference I drew was that in those days. when this state rights question had only just been set tied and there were 100000 of trained veterans in this country, no state would have dared to act as California had done in this situation with Japan. Instead of criticlsing the president my feelings toward him was that in con- sulting with the San Francisco com. mittee he did very hard yet patriotic duty"

Rev Henry o. Wills, Noted Prison Evangelist This
City to Talk to Men With Whose Ex-
periences He is Familiar.

Rev. Henry o. Wills. formerly crook
and now prison evangelist who has been
in the city several days conducting meet
ings at the boys reform school and the
Peoples Mission. will conduct meetings at
the workhouse today. Throughout the past
few days and for some days to come Mr.
Wills has been working under the direction
of Secretary Arnold of the Young Mems
Christian Association, visiting the different
street car barns of the city and the fire
engine houses. He halls from Detroit.
Mich, from which city he brings letters
of recommendation from the judge of the
police court and other officials of the mu-
nicpality.
Mr.. Wills says that he has lived through
a half century. His life up until seven
years ago was a checkered one. At that
time he states he came within the hearing
Of the gospel and became ardent sup
porter of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Throughout his career previous to his &C
ceptng the faith of the Man of Galilee
he declares he had only the single beacon
light of a mothers love to keep him In the
path of all that was right and good.
Left fatherless at an early age. the evan
geist was brought up in New York. where
he says he saw his mother without funds
and with few friends struggle against the
ravages of poverty most bravely. Firm in
her faith In God. she made honest and
continuous effort to teach her son the right
way. To this day the evangelist. once so
far down In the social scale, according to
his own statements loves to think of those
splendid days when that loving mother,
with all her sympathetic pride In the de-
yelopment of her son, taught him that pref

Now I lay me down to sleep. 1 pray the

Land Of Youth.

From the Travel Magazine.
Old men are rare in California. This is
almost literally true. but mean men old in
interests and activity. recall In one mid
die western town FIVE houses in a single
block on whose porches sat ancient bearded
men who gazed out at nothing. were In
terested In nothing, did nothing.
In California graybeards are there, but
few, indeed who sit in dreams. They are
at work; not driven to IT by the grim fear
of want. but blithely. as young men, re-
joicing that their race is not yet run. I
recall at once a giant Of seyenty-five who
still works and rides and plays with boy
ish relish. Life itself is old mems meat In
California. and they pursue Its pleasures
