BLACKLOCK ATTENDS FAMILY
PRAYERS,

During dinner l bore the whole
burden of ersation-though bur-
den l did not find it. Like most close
mouthed men, l am extremely talk
alive. Silence sets people to Won
dering and prying; he hides his Sc
crets best who hides them at the bot
tom of a river of words. If my spir-
it's are high, often talk aloud to my
self when there is no one convenient.
And how could my spirits be anything
but high, with her sitting there op-
posite me, mine, mine for better or
for worse, through good and evil re-
port-my wife!
She was only formally responsive,
reluctant and brief in answers; vol
unteering nothing. The servants
waiting on us no doubt laid her man
ner to shyness; 1 understood it, or
thought debut was not troubled.
1t is as natural for me to hope as to
BREATHE. and with my knowledge of
character, how could take seriously
the moods and impulses of one whom
regarded as child-like girl, trained
to false pride and false ideals?
"She has chosen to stay with me-"
said to myself. ACTIONS count, not
words or manner. A few days or
weeks, and she will be herself, and
mine And I. went gaily on, with
my efforts to1interest her, to. make her
smile and forget the role she had
commanded herself to play. Nor was
l wholly unsuccessful. Again. and
again 1 thought saw a CLEAN of in
terest in her eyes or the beginnings
of smile about that sweet mouth
of hers. 1 was careful not to overdo
my part.
AS soon as we finished dessert
said: You loathe cigar smoke, so I'll
hide myself in my den. Sanders will
bring you the cigarettes. 1 had my
self telephoned for a supply of her

She made a polite protest for the

After March 3 the only Democratic
senator's, who do not represent south
ern states, will be Newlands of Ne
vada and Teller of Colorado, and their
terms will expire in 1909. Newlands

EIecting Co a Third Term.

Although the third term proposition
has not passed beyond the stage OF
loose talk" some newspapers Of the
country think it time to treat the mat
ter seriously. Says the Chicago Trib-
une: THE Tribune is opposed on prin-
ciple to the third term. 1t risked much
in 1880 when it opposed General Grant
for a third term. 1t would risk as
much in 1908 If it should become
necessary to oppose the denomination
Of President Roosevelt under similar
conditions
1.-THE Tribune, for one, is not willing
to admit that there is but one man in
the United States who is capable Of
serving as president There are So
100000 people here, and among them
all there must be one other who is ut
to occupy the White House and dis
charge the duties Of chief magistrate.
We believe there must be more than
dozen in the Republican party alone"
The jamestown Morning Post, in
Roosevelt's home state, closes an edi-
torial on 1.-THE Menace Of a Third
Term as follows:
*The Republican party is committed
beyond question to the wise policies
for which Theodore Roosevelt stands.
No candidate who faVors any back
ward step could be nominated or
elected. There is no lack of worthy
men from whom to make a selection.
If the enthusiastic admirers of the
president insist on bringing the third
term to the front, as some Of them are
doing in the face OF his own words,
they must not murmur or complain II
the Republican party and the Amerl.
can people. turning aside from their
hero worship, assert again the verdict
OF history and declare that even TheO-
dore Roosevelt's career shall not be
crowned with an honor which Wash
ington and Jefferson declined and
which was denied to the greatest Of
our military heroes Ulysses s. Grant"
This is plain talk and to the point,
for the vital thing is the election of a
third term candidate, should a candi-
date coming under that head be placed
In nomination
