through 1t all his unparalleled ability as a
politician, President Roosevelt has been
able to make a record against the power
of capital which is not matched. so far as
know in the history of the world.
THE odds at first seemed to be over
whe1mingly against him, but he has per-
severed against the odds and has for the
time won out. The public loves a fighter.
especially one who fights against odds.
Roosevelt by his audacity has won the
applause and votes of the people and ap-
parently still retains their confidence.
Thus the President has done an I'M
mense amount of good, and in the doing
has done an immense amount of harm.
1t must be the task of history to strike
the balance and show whether 1t rests upon
the side of good or harm
There are some indications that the tide
has commenced to turn, and II these indica-

other practices which in the past have put
the public service corporations on the de-

The relatives of this man. as is well known, decided aftc. his death to have his remains cremat- ed, and the climax of the story occurs when the undertaken. opening the door of the oven to see whether incineration was complete, was appalled, to hear the corpse speak out and request him to close the door and shut off the draft The American sprung the joke as cf fectively as he could, but never a smile was his reward.

Before Susy began the biography she let tall remark now and then concerning my character which show ed that she had it under observation. In the record which we kept of tAc children's sayings there is an instance of this. She was twelve years old at the time. We had established q rule that each member of the family must bring a fact to hrcakfast-a fact drawn from book or from any other source; any fact would answer. Susy'S first contribution was in substance as follows: Two great exilcs and former opponents ill war met, in Ephesus. Scipio and Hannibal. Scipio asked Hannibal to name the greatest gcn eral the world had produced.
 "AleSandcr.' and he explained why
 And the next greatestw

Power of Falling Water.

It is perfectly well known to every one that water constantly dropping upon stone will wear it away. and there is trite old proverb regarding this fact. The force of a single drop of water falling from a height is not great. but the results of this tiny blow when it is many times repeated are astounding. There is story of one poor wretch who was bound with hi; back to d stone wall and had stream of water "of the bigness of a man $ finger directed on to bis bare head. the water falling from a height of about eiShtcen feet. The receptacle from which this apparently harmless stream trickled was a barrel holding only twenty gallons. but before the water had more than half run out the man was dead, with a hole ill his skull which exposed the hrain.-popu}ar Me chanicS
