Humorist Furnishes Something for
scribss to Puzzle Over.

Mark Twain, as is his custom, hides
himself during the summer from the
head hunters, those persons seeking
autographs, photographs, or inter
views. This year he selected Tuxedo
Park as his retreat. renting an old
colonial house until the latter part Of
September, when he returned to his
New York home There, during the
heated days, Mr.. Clemens wandered
about the country byways or spent
the time in various shady hooks in
his grounds.
A visitor who succeeded in discov-
ering his whereabouts found the great
author in his famous suit Of white
flannels, seated under a tree petting
a kitten.
Where did you get it?" queried the
friendly intruder.
For moment there was twinkle
in the aged humorists eyes; it was
succeeded by solemn look as he re-
piled II rent 1t from a neighbor.
You see, cannot afford a cat-not
even a young one"
Subsequent inquiry proved at least
the first part of Mr. Clemens state
ment to be true. He had actually
rented the kitten for the summer sea
son. What does he pay for It? No
body knows what Mark Twain pays
for anything. All the world is inter-

DISEASES IN THE DUST.

IN the general line of lettering con-
ditions that human life may be pro-
longed, the New York World has this
timely editorial:
DIR. w. Gilman Thompson indicts the
dust of the city in eight paragraphs of
disagreeable description. He follows
with a disturbing summary of the pos
sible results of dirt inhalation. Eye
and ear troubles. tuberculosis. tonsili-
lis. quinsy. laryngitis, bronchitis, pneu-
monia. broncho- pneumonia and influ-
enza are some of the Affections dis
tribu,ed in dust. And there will be lung
irritations which may work up Turk
ing heart disease.
These professional observations re-
move much of the righteousness We are
wont TO perceive in the familiar pro-
verb that I'VE must all eat our peck
of dirt" The possible accompani-
ments TO the diet. the physical fix
ings," are too dismayinS.
DR.. Thompson's presentation is an
argument, of course, for ceaseless vigi-
lance and tireless energy in the street
cleaning department. Things we might
have. but do not have. But besides the
regular order of sweeping aud gather
iHg-up. the circumstances call for vast
J. more attention than New York has
ever paid TO the item OF street-flush-
ing. The regular and auxiliary water
supply system of the city will be in

vide for regular. frequent washinss-

president. Especial stress was laid up
on the fact that he had served two
terms as president and had been turn.
ed down by his party as a candidate
| for a third term. And then the Star
gently-with the foot upon the soft
pedal-called attention to the striking
similarity between General Grant AMI
our present president, Theodore Roose-
welt, of the disregard of both these
great men for political traditions AMI
their independence of congressional
CONTROL etc.
In another column on the same page
appeared a reprinted editorial from
the Chicago Tribune, in which that pa
per declared it would fight against
President Roosevelt for another term
just as it had fought against the re-
nomination of General Grant in 1880
Very nice, but there is a slight differ
ence in this present age. In 1880 the
money power of Wall Street was in the
term bugaboo to do away with Gen.
'eral Grant
Today the people are in the saddle
They likewise are paying astonishing
ly little attention to old line politics
and politicians. inclining decidedly to-
ward men of the Roosevelt stamp,
men who do things of their own &C
cord and not because outraged public
sentiment forces them to. And as to
the talk of third term for President
Roosevelt being ''imperialism"-rot
The only imperialism he would rep
resent would be the imperial right of
the citizens of this country to be gov
erned by whom they may see fit to
place in the presidential chair.
The significance attached to Satur-
days Star is that it was trying in a
round about manner to say what the
Chicago Tribune said openly:-"I am
not for Roosevelt for another term"
And what is even more significant IS
the fact that the Star did not dare say
openly what it implied, because it well
knows that Indiana-the people, not
the politicians-is for President Roose-
welt.
