 Populists.
(New York World.)

If Teddy Roosevelt wasn't PresAr dent he could make hls living pitch. ing hay" said Ned Maloney, admir- ingly, in the village store at Norwich. L. L, last night
 All the loungers in the store sat up and took eager notice.
 ''Was you over to Oyster Bay to-day Ned?" asked old Si Hawkins, who was sitting on a cider keg and slyly help ing himself out of cracker box.
 'Was IF" cried Maloney. proudly. T just guess I was. President Roosevelt put his hay crop in the barn on his sagamore Hill farm to-day and I helped him."

 '+The President came over to the field about two hours after noontime," be- gan Maloney. 'He had on white neg ligee shirt and white duck pants helted around his waist, and one of them broncho-buster's hats. He had hay- fork over his shoulder and I wished all the popuIists from here to Calyforny could have seen him. There wouldn't be any more Pop tickets for President by heck. They'd vote for Teddy for a life term.
 There was three Oyster Bay fel- lows there and me; they was pitching and I was loading" continued Maloney to his rapt auditors Well, when the President of the United States showed up we was all as bashful as a girl the first time her feller asks her to walk home from church with her.
 {" Hello, boys, said Ttddy.
 !" 'How'dy, Mister President?' we all said.
 Forget I'm the President, boys said Teddy. I'm haynaker, that's all' and he laughs to himself and says I'm always making hay. ann
 Is he? interrupted Si Hawkins. I never heard of 1t before
 Shook Grimy Hand of Toil.
 "Well, he was to-day. said Maloney. "But afore he started in he shook hands with the three fellers in the field. They were sort O sweaty and they started to rub their hands on their pants. But Teddy said, 70, thats all right; I'm always glad to shake the hand of the honest toiler, even if {, it is warm-or something like that, couldn't hear very well being on top a wagon"
 Well, he started in and talk about l boy pitchers, Teddys a wonder, by 1 jiminyericlSetsl" exclaimed Maloney. Before the first load was done you wouldn't have given one of Bills pen ny cigars here for his white shirt And talk about sweatl Why the sweat was trolling off his forehead and dropping off his chin as big as black walnuts. He didn't stop to wipe off the sweat, either but kept right on pitching up big forlSfuls. I swan, I believe he could have tossed up Bill Taft if he got him on his fork
 1 After we got two wagons loaded, l drove over to the new barn. Teddy walked ahead of me with his fork over his shoulder. When we got to the barn he climbed up on my load and up to the mow. Gosh all hemlock, but he was sweating But he took all the hay from my fork and moved it away. Then He says. 'Good-by, my boy, I think this will do me good.' As he went out the barn heerd him chuckle and say, Always making hay; always making hay
 "Is he?" asked Si Hawkins, much puzzled.
 T don't know," said Maloney, "but he sure kin

General A. B. Nettleton of Chicago, formerly an assistant secretary of the treasury and Jay Cooke's principal as- sistant while the financier was building the Northern Pacific railroad, after reading Dr. Oberholtzers bigraphy of Cooke Shortly to be published by George W. Jacobs & Co.,, Philadelphia, said: q wish to express my surprise and great qualification at the masterly way in which you have comprehended, both broadly and in detail, the great subject upon which you are engaged to write. You seem to have captured the fieeting idea of perspective perfectly, and you could hardly have been more accurate in your conclusions and judg- ments if you had been contemporary with the events recited and closely in touch with them. This is not a bouquet but a frank expression of my opinion, for I had grave doubts whether anyone could be found who could or would do justice to the difficult theme"

Jenkins also admitted that he had been fined
$25 by Cochran for alleged adultery end that an in

claimed to have had large revolver with which he

for his alleged actions.
Both Murray and Cochran were arrested for
assault and battery, and each made bond for $50.
People in the lobby claim that much foul lam
guage was used during the whipping, and that sew
eral ladies in both the lobby and dining room
adjacent. All sought safety in flight during the
excitement.
The occurrence, while insignificant in itself, has
created tremendous sensation because OF the
political prominence Of Judge Cochran and the fact
that Murray has but recently been announced for
constable in that city.
It is iDtimated that Jenkins has been pre-
pairing evidence for North Mississippi editor who
has been waging terrific personal war on Cochran
and had reached the point where he was on the eve
of swearing out warrants at Newton during the
coming week.

We are very slightly changed
From the semi-apes who range
Indias prehistoric clay;
Who SO drew the longest bow,
Ran his brother down, you know,
AS we run men down today.

Met the Mammoth face to face
On the lake or in the cave,
Stole the steadiest canoe
Ate the quarry others slew,
Died and took the finest grave.
When they scatteredt the rsindeer bone
Someone made the sketch his own,
Fiched it from the artist-then.
Even in those early days
Won simple Viceroy's praise
Through the toll of other men.
Ere they hewed the Sphinx's visage
Favoritism governed kissage,
Even as it does in this age.
Who shall. doubt the secret hid
Under Cheop's pyramid
Was that the contractor did
CheOps out of several millionsf
Or that JOseph's sudden rise
To ComptrOll of Supplies
Was fraud of monstrOus size
On King Pharaoh's swart civiliansi
Thus, the artless songs sing
Do not deal with anything
New or never said before.
As it was in the beginning,

And shall be for evermore. ~

because for the first time the En-

Of faith. Heretofore all the sins

"Citizens: You sent us to fight
for freedom, for the rights of the
people, for land and liberty. The
Duma majority was in opposition.
1t rejected laws increasing the power
of the government bureaucrats, it de-
manded an accounting of repressions

"The new election law limits the
rights of the peasants and working
men and increases these of the land
owners and merchants. The repre-
sentation of Siberia, the Caucasus
and Poland is decreased and some
parts of the country are disfran-
