THE OTHER VIEW OF 1T.

The owensboro Messenger bump.
tlously says:
"a neighboring daily boasts that II
printed the presidents message in
full-more than twenty columns, but
liberal reward probably could not
discover one of its readers who will
admit that he read all OF It, The
Messenger confesse~ to have printed
"a six-column synopsis OF It, but the
New York World, the greatest Ameri-
can newspaper, boiled II down to less
than three columns. OF all our presi-
dents, Roosevelt has proved the most
.prolix. He discusses everything I'M
der the sun in his messages and
makes recommendation to congress
of legislation on most frivolous sub
jects. which congress never notices.
His last message was in large part
but repetition OF the speeches he
has made in different parts of the
country. Our boastful contemporary
would have been more enterprising
had it done as the Messenger did,
but the World beat us all in handling
the message"
To put It otherwise, the Messenger
says that its subscribers shah read
only so much OF the presidential mes
sage as the Messenger deems II worth
while for them to see.

The regard in which the. depart.

held by insurance and business men

Do Wild Animals Remember and Love Old
Friends?

The American Magazine iot March
contains piece Of fctionln which a
pair of lions in a circus are presented
as remembering and saving the life
of an old trainer Of theirs whom they
had not seen for many years. This is
commonly believed to be inconsistent
with the experience Of wild animal
trainers. On that account the editor
of the magazine states m a note that
the story is founded on fact.
