THE FIRST CITIZEN OF THE MA
 TION.

AANf~A OI4 1Z4IL-N UT HE MA TION.
 Mr. Ltttauer of New York-"up state'-retires from public life. He has been a congressman a good while and has lived a wholesome life in Washington. He had some difficulty with the war department and an in- vestigating committee, and with some of his constituents, about gloves and gauntlets, which he was charged with selling to the government contrary to law, which denies to congressman the privilege of selling goods or services to the United States. However much or little may have been the merit of the accusation MT. Littauer has apparent ly lived it down and passed by it, and his pleasing rotundity has maintained Itself in influential places. Once Mr.. Roosevelt announced in a public speech that Mr. Littauer was the politician upon whose judgment he most depend ed, and whose advice he most sought. The President has broadened his scope, widened his horizon, and met other men since then, but the public does not know that he has lost faith in Lit tauer; Littauer is a persistent as well as an agreeable man, and often his views have coincided with MT. Roose- velt's. In Philadelphia, in 1900, MT. Littauer was one of the foremost sup porters of Mr. Roosevelt's desire not to be nominated for vice-president in or der that he might continue to be gov- ernor of New York This sympathy led him into an error of Judgment which was painful to cooler observers. When, one evening. Mr. Roosevelt pre- vented Senator Platt from presenting his name as a candidate, or sacrifice, of sacrifice, offered by New York and danced with joy in the privacy of his apartment, Mr. Littauer rejoiced with him. When MT Roosevelt announced that he had driven Platt to take Tim Woodruff, Littauer smiled with him, for he thought that Roosevelt had won. But the late MT. Hollis-"Old Hollis" as he has been called by some knew better, for he judged more wisely Well, governor, he said, If New York has decided to name Tim Wood- ruff, that nominates you, for the con vention will know that New York is not serious in making such a ridiculous suggestion. It is the same as saving that they want you or nobody" And then Hollis judgment loomed bigger than Littauer s.-Harper's Weekly.

1eo7-A HEALTH TO Lo-1so7.

Three grim - centuries ago
We built on t.ie red mans soil;
Hewed into his mighty forests,
Pumped out his petroleum oil.
BnrrOwed far under his mountains,
Extracted his yellow gold
Paid him In civilization
And gems of value untold
Took from him his bow and arrows,
Shot up his Buffalo herds:
Taught him the game of draw poker
and many lurid "cuss" words.
Erected our huge sky.scrapers
Where his humble wigwam stood,
Supplanted his tented village
With structures of steel and wood.
Seeded his happy hunting grounds
Reaped bushels of golden grain.
Fermented them In our hreweries
and made Lo drunk on the same.
logged him out in Kentucky jeans
Took awav his skins and furs;
Derived him of the simple life
He'd led for a thousand years.
ASSIGNED him n reservation.
Purloined his feathers and paint
And detailed our pale-faced soldiers
To hold him there in restraint.
But such Is the march of progress
And such was fate's stern decree,
Such was the white mans mission
And the red mans destiny.
Let the pale face at the banquet
AS he tOasts the jamestown show,
Remember the brave old warrior
And imbii9 health to 10.
