Teddy Stands by His Guns
Will Continue to Punish
"'Malefactors of Great
Wealth"

GProvincetown, Mass, Aug. 81
The laying OF the cornerstone
OF he Cape Cod pilgrims memo
rial monument here today gave
President Roosevelt his first op-
portunity OF the GUNNER to break
silence upon public questions
and the forty minute speech
which he delivered irom plat
form on top OF Town Hill was
one of vigor and directness upon
matters of national importance.
The feature of his address was
his advocacy of national incor-
Eoration law aud his stand in
relation to violators Of the law,
especially corporations. With
emphasis he declared that the
administration would not waver
in its determination "to punish
cert ain melelactors of great
wealth." Continuing he said:
"Ihere will be no change in
the policy we have steadily pur-
sued; no let up in the effort to
secure the honest observance OF
the law, for | regard this contest
as one to determine who shall
rule this government-the peo-
pie through their governmental
representatives or few ruthles
and determined men whose wealth
makes them particularly formid-
able because they hide behind
the DreaStworks OF corporate or
ganiZationS.' The President de-
clared that the government would
undertake no action of a vindic-
tive type, and above all no ac-
ton which would inflict great or
unmeriied suffering upon inno-
cent stockholders and upon the
public as whole. lie said that
the governments policy in its ul-
innate analysis meant "a healthy
and prosperous transportation OF
the business activities OF honest
business men aud honest corpor-
ations "

When The Perfect Gossip" does issue from the press it will contain some advice quite easy to anticipate It's first page will forbid prying. de- precfation. malice and mockery. It will recommend the cultivation of charity and sense of humor. the study pf character and of grateful and unexag- gerated expression.

10. WILSON, Witness,
JOHN HOAT. Witness.

O! it is pleasant, with a heart at ease,
Just after sunset, or by moonlight
skies,
To make the shifting clouds be what
you please,
Or let the easily persuaded eyes
Own each quaint likeness issuing from
the mold
Of friends fancy; or with head
bent low
And cheek aslant see rivers flow with
gold
'Twixt crimson banks; and then, a
traveller go
From mount to mount through Cloud
land, gorgeous land!
Or listening to the tide, with closed
sight,
Be that blind bard that on the Chan
strand
By those deep sounds possessed with
inward sight,
BehelG the Iliad and the Odyssey
Rise to the swelling of the voiceful
sea.

God has given all,
Pleasant work to do.
Talents silent call,
Comes to me and you.
Woe to them that hail,
Not the call Alright,
Doomed are they to fail,
In joyless fight.
Some are bid to toll,
With the saw and plane,
Some to till the soil,
Some to reap the grain.
Skilled are some with hand,
Using cunning tool,
Others train the mind,
Deep in wisdom's school.
Some are sent away,
Into scented fields,
There to pluck the gay
Flowers nature yields.
They who soon obey,
Inclination's voice,
Whatsoe'er it say,
Shall fore'er rejoice.
Though the course may run,
Through the darkened night,
Talent, like a sun,
Makes the pathway bright.

Ing ola IdSn1On.
1t was at MaXwelton house-Annie's
birthplace-that l came across the
missing link in the chain of evidence
that fixes the authorship of the song
upon Douglas of Finland.
The present proprietor of Maxwell
ton house is Sir Emilius Laurie, for
merly rector Of ST. Johns, Paddington.
when he was known as Sir Emilius
Bayley. He took the name Of Laurie
when he succeeded to the family es-
tates. Sir Emilius is a descendant of
Sir Walter, third Baronet and brother
Of Annie.
Sir Emilius placed in my hands a
letter Of which he said | might make
what use l liked, and this letter con-
tanned the missing link.
1t was written in 1889 by a friend
to Sir Emilius, and relates an incident
which took place in 1854. At that time
the writer, whom We will call Mr..
B., was on a visit with his wife to
some friends in Yorkshire. Mrs. B.
was a somewhat famous singer of the
ballads, singing them with taste and
pathos. A few friends were invited
to meet them one evening, and after
the ladies had retired to the drawing
room, their hostess asked Mrs. B. to
sing. And she sang Annie Laurie"
in the modern revision, just as we all
sing it.
Among the guests was an old lady in
her 9th year. She gave close atten-
ton to the singing of the ballad, and
when Mrs. B. had finished she spoke
up: Thank you, thank you very
much. But they're ma the words my
grandfather wrote" Then she repeat
ed the first verse as she knew it.
The next day Mr.. and Mrs. B. called
upon her, and in the meantime she
had the original first verse written
out, debating it to a grand niece. She
signed it with her own shaky hand.
Not being satisfied with the signature,
she had signed it a second time.
She explained that her grandfath,
er Douglas of Finland, was desperately
in love with Annie Laurie when he
wrote the song. ""But," she added,
''he did ma get her after a."
She was not quite sure as to An
MES fate, she said. Some folks had
said she died unmarried, while some
had said she married Ferguson of
Craigdarrock, and she rather thought
that was the truth.
Questioned as to the authenticity
of the verse she had given, she said:
"Oh, l mind it fine. l have remem-
bered them a my life. My father Of
ten repeated them to me-" And here
is the verse signed with his name:
MaXweltown's banks are bonnie,
They're a. clad owre VII dew,
Where l an Annie Laurie
Made up the bargain true,
Made up the bargain true,
Which ne'er forgot sail be,
An for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down an dee.
I mind ma mair.
Signed, CLARK DOUGLAS.
August 80, 1854.
In the original song there were but
two verses and the following is the
