ROOSEVELT AND wADswoRTH

Az the outcome OF the severe ana
rather Incorporate attacks made upon
President Roosevelt by ex-Represen-
tative Wadsworth, the hand of the aa-
ministration in New York political
affairs Is plainly shown. Mr.. WaGs-
worth was chairman of the House
Committee on Agriculture and for
twenty years represented the Genes.
see Valley district OF New York. When
1.-The question of the examination anu
labelling Of meat products was under
discussion Mr.. Wadsworth became In
volvcd in n dispute with the Presi-
don't which resulted in the exchange
! OF several sharp letters. Previous.
4 ~, When the oleomargarine bill was
before Congress, Mr.. Wadsworth was
accused OF favoring the manufactur-
ers Of that table delicacy. He re-
presented constituency composed
largely of farmers but managed TO
= weather that storm. When the con-
Z troversy with the President came,
however. his opponents saw chance
beat him and Peter A. Porter WAS
put UP as the candidate of the In
! dependent Republicans and was also
endorsed by the Democrats. His en-
blem on the ticket was n COW anu
4 he received the powerful financial
support of Frederick A. Stevens, n
we'll known banker Of New York and
the District OF Columbia. Mr.. stew
ems had himself wished to succeed
Mr.. Wadsworth but the latter sue
ceeded in having the county wherein
MIR. Stevens claimed residence, trans
ferrod to another district. While
the President did not openly assis,
Mr., Porter there is little question
that his sympathies were with HIM
and because Of the various reasons
outlined Mr.. Wadsworth was defeat
ed.
81 At the last session Of Congress Mr
Wadsworth quoted his letters to the
President and undertook to show that
Ibis criticisms of certain proposed
s legislation in connection with the
meat inspection were justified by the
I fact that they had not been enacted
and there was no demand for them
This did not tend to restore the
ontente cordiale between the Presl
q dent and Mr.. Wadsworth.
About this time the commission OF
a number Of postmasters in Mr.
Wadworth's district were expiring anc
he made recommendation for their
fSappointment. These were disre
ardsd and those made by Mr.. Porter
were appfoyed Then the President
called for the resignation of Archie
d %. Sanders, collector of internal rev
s enue of the Western District Of New
York. Mr.. Sanders was appointed by
y President Mckinley In 1898 on Mr.
Wadsworth's recommendation. This
\ evoked from Mr.. Wadswortn a critl
cisnl of the President in which he
focused him OF having turned down
B DostmasSers whom the people wanted
and In other ways exerted his power
TO remove from office persons whose
& sole crime consisted in the fact that
they We're friends Of Mr.. Wadsworth
This. according to Mr.. Wadswortn
lamps the President as unreliable
q fakir and a humbug. For years he
has INDUCED in lofty sentiments and
violates them all for the sake of graft

The reply to Mr.. wadsworth is that

His Awful Fate,

An American visitor in a German

have made the dog conspicuous among
the finest of his breed. zone day we

little longer than in life, was shown
to me by the man who came to tell us
he had found the dog. He was very
dead, but did want to know how he
met his untimely end and after inquir-
ing learned that he had been run over
by Neutrality-suspicious.

Wireless Money Lending.

One of the most interesting types on
the American track is the professional
money lender. Money lending is alb
solutely forbidden, and so the entire
transaction must be conducted sub
rosa, but if a person who is on goes
broke and he has some article Of jew
elry Of value with him it is easy for
him to realize money on it.
The lender is an irreproachably
dressed person who sits on the grand
stand with the rest of the crowd and is
known in his true colors only to the
habitues of the track A man who
wants some capital makes an unobtru-
sive sign to him and twirls a ring he
may be wearing at the time Shortly
afterward both will proceed to a res
taurant, where, for the benefit of on
lockers, they will greet each other as
ordinary acquaintances The exchange
is then made over the drink they order;
the loan broker has the ring and the
bettor his capital. If the latter cashes
in on the next race he will return the
money and the agreed upon premium
and will receive back his ring.-From

DisraeIi's NuptiaI Joke.

There was little joke between them
Oisraeli and his wife) which I heard
from the late dean of Salisbury. ''You
know | married you for your money"
Disraeli would say to her. ooh, yes,
but if you were to marry me again you
would marry me for lover was the
regular reply, ooh, yes!' her husband
would exclaim, and the little nuptial
comedy ended
But what Disraeli said to Bernal Os-
borne once about his marriage is much
better worth the telling. 1t was at a
dinner party after dinner when the
men were alone what did you mar
ry her for?'' Osborne asked in his
characteristic way. Disraeli twiddled
his wineglass in the pause that fol-
lowed this point blank inquiry. Then
he lifted his head slowly and looked
the other very expressively in the
face. ''For a reason" he said, (which

"Was ever in 1ove?" he repeated as
he relighted his pipe. ''Was ever in
love? Well, don't know if''-
''You don't know?' cried the youth.
''Well, if you ever had been in love
you'd know it. Why, when you're in

have no taste for food, you think Of
nothing but the beauty off,

the middle aged man.

their thirst and greed. Like glowing,
