ROOSEVELT ENDS
THIRD TERM TALK
PRESIDENT REPEATS HIS ELEC
TON NIGHT UTTERANCE
All Doubt DispeIed as to His Att1
tude-Bryan Says he is not
Surprised.

WASHINGTON, December ll.-Presl-
dent Roosevelt will not be a candl-
date for a third term. All doubt on
this point was dispelled today by the
anthoizsd statement from the White
House that Mr.. Roosevelt still adher-
ed to the declaration made three
wears ago. In the statement issued
tonight President Roosevelt says ne
has not changed and shall not change
tae decision communicated to the
public in 1904.
1t appears that the president has
been awaiting the call for the re-
publican National Convention to- al
ford the proper opportunity for max
ing his position clear and uslmlstaka::
HE. and thus leave the field clear
for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knox,
Foraker and other declared or re-
csptive candidates for the Repubh-
can nomination. The presidents
statement follows:
s3On the night after the election 1
made the following announcement:
4 am deeply sensible Of the honor
doae me by the American people IN
thus expressing their confidence IN
what I have tried to Go. appre-
.ciate to the. full the solemn response
bility this confidence imposes upon
me and I shall do all that IN my
poxe lies not to forfeit it. On the
fourth of March next / shall have
served three and half years, ana
this three and a half years constitute
nv first term. The wise custom,
which limits the president to two
terms regards the substances, and
not the form. and under no clrcun-
stances will I be a candidate Tor OF
accept another nomination.

change the decision thus announced. "

Snow and Ice Sports in Canada.

"It is not without reason that
dwellers in milder climates look for
ward with a thrill to some time
spending a winter in Canada and
sharing the picturesque sports which,
inherited from the Indian, the Scot
or the Scandinavian, have been cast
in their present form by the vigor
and high spirits Of the Canadian
people," thus says writer in the
January number Of the New Idea
Woman's Magazine in discussing
those winter pastimes which must ap-
peal to all lovers of outdoors. Few
people know to what extent tobog-
gaming, snow-shoeing, hockey and
even ice-boating are entered into by
both men and women in these north
ern climates; and their social lntlu-
ence in bringing people together for
common pleasure and purpose IS
another attractive side for which 9TH
er localities offer no substitutes. The
photographs are excellent; they are
full of action and life, and show var
ions clubs on their runs at their con-
tests.

Greenville, Dec. 11.-Mr. W. C..
Moore, financial agent for the Far

today from a trip to Europe. Mr.

Not Reassuring.

A farmer, on frosty autumn al
ternoon, went out into MS turnip field
and began to gather turnips. The
early sun sank in the west, and as
the blush dusk came on the farmer
percieved at the other end of the
field two men, who, laying down a
bag. began to dig with frantic haste.
The farmer watched the pair IN
some perplexity. What could they
be doing? And he was just putting
his hand to his cheek to shout and
ask them their business when one OF
them rose up and yelled loudly and
reassuringly:

ahe German Empress.

Boston -x9Ansctept' ...-.: -,
For q aaay who figures before the
German people as '<Die Deutsche
Frau" with her husband commend
ing to his subjects the ssfecaoh OF
wives who will follow the example
Of their Empress and devote tnsar
lives. as she has done, to the study
Of ..the three K's-Kirche, Kinder
and Kutchen''-(Chrueh, children
and cookery)--the German Empress
makes quite dashing figure. She IS
described as tall, fair and comely,
and bears herself with a royal pres
enee and demeanor. Moreover, her
face is continually wreathed IN
smiles: she is always tastefufly attlr-
ed on state occasions resplendent IN
dress. and is dashing horsewoma1'
never looking better that when nd
ING in her white uniform. Altogebh-
er the Emperor and the people OF
Germany are fortunate in a mother
of royal family who fills the role TO
such perfection, accomplished as she
is in all domestic occupations, and
devoted to her six sons and one
daughter. Politics she lets severely
alone, but not the social questions
and she is believed to have been BE-
mind the recent searching .investlga-
tions into conditions of the sweated
workers Of Germany. To- be serene
and placid without being dull Is a
most happy combination for her IN
offset for the temperament OF her
strenuous husband. Such has been
the outcome Of the love-match the
Kaiser made as very young man
with the Princess Augusta OF Schles-
wigIHolstein.

Old Ned's Dream.

Old Ned's hair is white as cotton,
Feeble is his step and slow,
But his mind unclouded travels
To the days of long ago,
Ere the war trump nushed the music
Of the birds of Dixie Land,
And the songs Of peace and plenty
Echoed in chorus grand.

In commencing to breed fowls, start
with one variety only. Purchase the
best fowls your purse will allow. When
you have thoroughly mastered the
business Of keeping few at profit,
and have the time, room and money to
branch out farther, and want more
yards or more fowls, increase the num-
ber of the same breed you have, If you
like them and intend to stick to them.
So long as you breed fowls, stick to one
variety. With one breed the expense
is not only reduced, but the profit Is
greater. And If the breeder is so situ-
ated that his fowls can have plenty of
range, the work Of caring for thous-
and fowls Of one breed is not as much
as caring for one hundred fowls of
eight or ten varieties. Fowls of differ
ent varieties Kept in separate runs re-
quire much attention, especially in the
breeding season, end the person who
thinks there 10 not much labor attached
has only to try the experiment.

A house is not necessarily home.
An elegant edifice, richly furnished

read these words can have in their

BORROWED WIT.

The late Theodore Tilton, who had
never had a pipe, cigar or cigarette in
his mouth, used to declare that the
most inveterate smoker he ever knew
was Sojourner Truth, the famous
freedwoman reformer and lecturer.
He was wont to tell how one day when
the venerable dame, then about 80
years old, was on visit to his house,
she sat smokink her pipe by the chim-
ney corner, when George w. Bungay,
the author of several eloquent anti
tobacco tracts, called to see her.
"Aunt Sojourner,r he said, ~ revere
your character, but I deplore your
smoking, for it will keep you forever
out of heaven"
"Lawkes, honey, how so?" she
asked.
Because, Aunty," he rejoined, "you
know that, according to the Good
Book, nothing entereth there that de-
fileth.' Now, how do you expect to
get into heaven with your breath de-
filed by tobacco?"
"Lawkes, honey" answered the old
negress, "when go to heaven 1 'spect

a.ther tts Waraay Apples.

If the apples are to be gathered in
time to prevent full crop of the cod
ling moth in the orchards for next
year, the work must be dane at once,
All the apples In the orchards of the
Colorado Agricultural College were
gathered from the trees recently, and
90 per cent were found wormy. By
the time the next brood of worms get
INTO the apples, it Is probably that
there will not be one apple in five
hundred that Is not worrny in the
orchards of the eastern part of the
state, where so very few apples are to
be found.
1t will be Q great gain, whenever the
apples are in very small numbers, tp
pick them all now, for the purpose OF
greatly lessening the number of worms
In the orchards for the next two or
three years to come. In order that
this work should be most effectual, 1t
will be necessary to induce your neigh
bors to pick the apples from their
trees, alsa.-C. p. Gillette.

The College girPs Rescue.

II belieye in a college education for
girls" said Admiral Erbin, at dinner
at Jamestown, "but the girl who comes
cut Of college thinking that she knows
Q great deal has not profted by her
four years course. For, after all, it is
but smattering that college educa-
ton gives us.
"Most girls know this. Many do not,
The latter sort carry themselves super
ciliously, use big words, correct igno-
rant persons grammar, and fail to
make good marriage. In fact, they
create a bad impression everywhere.
''Thus there was girl, Vassar girl,
who got caught by the incoming tide
out on a rock. The tide rose higher
end higher, and the girl shrieked and
screamed madly for help. Help came
at last i'm the shape of grizzled old
shellback in a fat-bottomed boat. The
girl, as soon as she saw the shellback,
recovered her pose, and said in her
most affected manner:
" 'Ah, | knew some succor would
come If l but continued calling in
defatigably.'
''The shellback scowled.

Things Worth Knowing.

Tough steak may be greatly i'm
proved by boiling until tender. Dry
down, and then fry in the usual
manner.
A pinch of soda added to boiling
meat will shorten the time required
for cooking.
A little butter scorched in the spider
before making cream gravy greatly inn
proves its favor.
Green apples too small to pare make
nice sauce cooked with the skins on,
Pass through sieve or oolander be-
fore serving.
Vinegar may be substituted for sour
milk or baking powder in biscuit or
pancakes, allowing two dessert spoons
fuls of vinegar to one heaping teaspoon
full Of soda. Have all other ingredients
mixed, and stir in the soda last, dis,
solved in the vinegar.
A heaping teaspoonful of flour added
to each fruit pie just before putting on
the upper crust is great improvement,
After buttering a tin, flour 1t, leav.

from its contents sticking.
