this man, living in this prosaic twen-

prove himself, but If there had been
anything, any task she would have set
he would gladly have given the best
that was in him to win from her a
word of commentator. He did not
dare at first to hope for her love. AS
he came to know her better he began
to see how wide a gulf stretched be-
tween them. He began to realize how
he must strive to be worthy even to be
called her friend. He tried to shake of
the old lethargy that bound him, the
old presidents and customs that had
nodded his life, to long for something
higher, nobler, more worthy Of her.
Zone night he sat at his window,
smoking and thinking of her. As he
looked up into the starlit sky he fell
into dream.
"He thought that he stood at the foot
of a high mountain, the sides of which
were steep and rugged. He thought
that he began to climb, but always he
slipped backward into the darkness,
and he seemed to make no progress I'M
til through the gloom a star began to
glimmer shedding its bright light be-
fore him. Following this bright, steady
radiance, he began to make some head

On almost every bill Of fare are seen
the words ''porterhOuse steak" Now,
most people know what a pOrterhOuse
steak is, having on some occasion
eaten one. or at least a piece Of beef
that went by that name, but few peo-
pie know how the name itself origi-
mated. Years ago there was hosiery
near Harvard university kept by .
man named Porter. Soon this tavern
became famous for It's viands, espe-
cially for its cuts of meats. The stran-
ger stopping there for a meal and not
moving exactly what to order would
be advised by his genial host, Mr..
Porter. to order a steak. So good
were his steaks that travellers often
spoke Of them, and gradually began
referring to them as the steaks you
get at POrter's house" From that II
was but a short time before they were
referred 10 as the Porter h0Eze
steak" Since then butchers all over
the country have found out the way in
which Mr.. Porter cut his famous steaks
and have been making the same cuts
themselves; hence the pOrterhOuse
steak has been served the country
over.

THE THIRD TERM

Former Governor Larrabee of Iowa,
who recently visited the White House,
gave out this interview: AS to an
other term, there seems to be great
pressure being brought to bear on
President Roosevelt but | doubt the
wisdom of it. The President has done
his duty. and it would be almost cru
city to compe' him to serve longer in
such an exacting office There is also
objection to a third term, although it
will be only a second election, and
every one is entitled to two elections.
Yet the President desires to retire
from office at the end of his present
term.and 1 do not believe he will
change his mind, unless conditions
should make it imperative for him u
do so. There are other good men for
the office, and the man who will be
elected will be he who will carry out
the policies of Roosevelt in their
spirit. This is the substance of my
talk with the President, and really
reflects his views. but | do not wish
to state that he is willing to under
take third term unless absolutely
forced"

ALBANY, N. r., March 6.-The state capitol literally swarmed with women. Not since the old time hearings on wo. man suffrage bills has the assembly chamber been crowded with them as il was for several hours, when nearly 300 of them appeared before the cities committee in favor of the Conklin bill. which would increase the salaries Of women schoolteachers. The bill was opposed by the male teachers on the ground that 1t would tend rather to re duce their salaries.
