ROOSEVELT'S INCONSISTENCY
1t is said that Theodore Roosevelt is
erratic. He is more He is inconsistent
1t was he and his followers who beratet
Cleveland who issued two hundred and
sixty millions of bonds to maintain the
governments credit and to protect the
gold reserSB which was being raided by
Shylocks and sharks as now
For this issue of bonds Cleveland wa:
subjected to the most severe criticism
and yet for an act which should be de-
nounced in unmeasured terms, Roose
welt is being praised as if he were the
saviour of the country.
Is the United States mad over Roose-
welt?
1t has been charged that the money
panic may be traced to Roosevelt:
strenuotsness against corporations ant
trusts which should be regulated by law
but this is nonsense.
The cause of the panic is due to spec.
ulation of the rankest type which is tol
Grated and made possible under the sys
tenn devised by the party of which
Roosevelt is the central figure.
If the financial system of the United
States were on a substantial basis the
issue of bonds by the government to
stay the panic would be unnecessary.
1t is no wonder the fnanciers are re-
joicing and are exceedingly glad over
this issue of bonds by Roosevelt. III
time these bonds will disappear, and in
time the financiers, so-called, will secure
group of banks, run the market on
some stock and again will come the
panic.
In England there are no banks break
ing Or panics.
In France bank panics are not known
In Germany bankers do not indulge
in high-ball rolling and frenzied finance.
In China bank failure has been I'M
known for more than four hundred
years. Should bank fail, or should a
banker create Or be responsible for a
panic in China, off would go his head
and that of all his associates as well.
Instead of issuing bonds to the delight
of the sharks, the President of the Unit
ed States should have instructed the At
torney General to proceed crilninally
against the high rollers and high flyers
of finance.
A. score or more of these landed in
prisons would have had the most desir-
able effect in restoring confidence.
To consider for moment that a
country as vast as is the United States
in its resources, with its banks said to
have been overfowing with money; with
general activity and prosperity prevail
ing everywhere, that panic should be
possible is crime of crimes.
And yet the very men who abused
Cleveland for his issue of bonds can
now find no words too extravagant in
their praise of Roosevelt.
Has the United States gone blind and
deaf to Rooseveltism?

CARAVANS OF THE DESERT.
Gold Hunters and Consumptives Found
Travelling Side by Side.

Ever journeying across the desert
sands and climbing the arid peaks and
foothills of the far southwest are two
caravans-one seemingly rugged and
healthy, though afflicted with a dis
ease called goldomania, the other ema-
ciated by the great white plague.
One is scarcely more optimistic
than the other; one procession seeks p
glittering yellow dust that means
riches, the other more precious thing
health. Though the trail may be
long and the water holes infrequent;
though the desert sun may be blister
ing and the tongue swollen with thirst:
though the mountains may be steep
and the path strewn with cacti. there
is the glittering substance in the sand
little farther on for the argonaut: a
lease of life at the horizon, when this
red desert sun announces the dawn Of
another day, for the white plaques
victim
10 many seeking their wonted vigor
the hope that ever carries them on
ward is sometimes as futile as the
race after the will-o'-the-wisp that lures
the argonaut.
But the procession moves on and
on; the pilgrims can not leave the
sands until the mountain air and sun
shine have healed the scars made by
deaths chief ally
The main trail OF the weak-lunged
leads from Pecos to Yuma For more
than 1000 miles prospector and plague
ridden traverse it's tortuous course.
In the caravan seeking gold nearly all
are poor. In the caravan eXiled and
fighting for health there are rich and
poor, high and low, democratic and
fraternal in their ills and expectancy
To some this hope is as uncertain of
realization as the prospector's pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow. But
many who have early joined the pill
grims, after years of travel by day I'M
der the scorching sun and sleep by
night in the pure air of the mountain
i top, end their allotted exile and return
to the old home 1000 or more miles
distant
But the ranks are soon recruited.
And some there are who must travel
along the great highway until the end.
Oftentimes the bones of prospector
and plague-ridden are found bleaching
in the canyon. The skeleton hand of
one is Outstretched up the hillside,
where others reach the goal-and
gold; the bony fingers of the other

Quick Thouoht Saved Shin.

The Russian war frigate Olaf, prior
to the outbreak of the war with Japan
which had accompanied the yacht Of
the cZarowitz to Copenhagen, was
lying at anchor among hundreds of
other ships in the harbor when a fire
was discovered in a coal cellar below,
which was only few feet from the
powder magazine. There was no time
to put out the fire before it could reach
the magazine, and an explosion of the
large stores of cartridges and gunpow-
der contained in it probably would
have destroyed not only the Olaf and
the surrounding ships, but part of
Copenhagen itself.
Capt Rehbinder, the commander of
the Olaf, saw at once that the only
thing to be done to prevent catas-
trophe was to sink the ship. After
sending away the crew, with the ships
papers, cash boxes and most valuable
instruments in boats, he ordered the
carpenters and engineers to make a
leak in the vessel, and half an hour
afterward she sank in shallow water.
Next day she was raised again and
sent off for repailrs.
The court-martial unanimously ex-
pressed the highest praise Of the con-
duct of the captain and his subordi-
mates. The emperor appointed him his
aide-de-camp, which is one of the high
est honors conferred on Russian naval
officers, and the officers and men re

Poultry should never be allowed to

Fresh eggs and fat fowls can al
ways be converted into cash.
The working hen is the one that
lays the eggs in cold weather
Too little exercise and too much
corn makes hens fat and lazy.
The unsightly henyard should be
abolished and an attractive yard put
in it's place. The dilapidated condi-

ments is painful.
The farmers fowls that are sent to
market are too poorly fitted to bring
what they are worth.
More water fowls could be raised to
advantage.
Hens like to lay in rather dark
nest, the opening from which is hid
den from view. If box nests with the
opening toward the wall are placed
in the poultry house, very few hens
will steal their nests in out-of-the-way
places.
Feed in a clearly way; too much
dirt in a hens crop is not good.
If you hatch eggs in the old way,
old hens are better than pullets for
the business.
Mongrel chickens are not so easily
