RoosEvELTs REASONS FOR oP.
POSING HUGHES.

Again 1t has been demonstrated
that Ii Is easier to secure a smooth
blending of oil and water than to
bring together President Roosevelt
and Governor Hughes OH a platform
OF political harmony. Efforts
which have been under way for.
tho past week to establish
friendly relations between these
two distinguished Republicans have
failed dismally, and from now
on each will follow his own
particular path, scornfully ignoring
the other. The attempt to patch up
a truce between the President and
the governor was made by mutual
friends. who fear that continued hos
tility between them will result in
tho loss of the Empire State to the
Democracy next November Already
the Republicans organization in New
York liz In a sadly demoralized state.
Governor Hughes has disrupted the
party machine In practically every
county, having ignored the local lead
ers right and left In the distribution
OF patronage md In shaping legls-
lation. The result is that the num-
orous bosses have lost prestige and
the spirit OF the rank and file Is at
low ebb. All this, OF course, Will
have a bad influence In the next
campaign.
Seeing the drift of political aIfairs
New York, some of the leaders OF
the Republican party made over
lures to the White House and to
Albany In tho interest OF harmony.
The effort has proved futile, due to
the indiirerenee OF Governor Hughes
and the refusal of the President to
risk further humiliation and snub-
bling ut the hnnds of man whom
he thinks he created politically.
Consequently there will be more hat.
tleaxes than olive branches in future
New York politics. One OF the inter-
estins developments of the unsuccess-
full negotiations for peace was the dis.
covery of the reason for the Presi-
dents opposition TO Hughes. That
he will DO everything In his power
to prevent the nomination OF the
governor is we'll known to every
politician in Washington. 1t would
seem from the newspapers that to
those who take the trouble to inquire
why ne prefers Taft to Hughes the
President frankly states his reasons,
The President, according 20 those
who have talked with him on this
mater, asserts that he is not en-
gagged In fighting Governor Hughes.
He Is for Taft. and he is willing that
this fact should become known. The
President bases his opposition to
Hughes on the ground that the latter
rs not entitled on his record 10 re-
.ceiyc the highest honor which the
Republican party can bestow. The
President believes that the party is
far more indepted, to Taft. to Fair
banks. to Cannon. to Knox, and to
cortelyou. than TO Hughes. Conse-
auently he thinks that oil these men
have greater right to expect the
nomination than has Hughes, and
presumably he would prefer TO soc
anyone OF them honored rather than
Hughes.
That Is the Presidents side OF the
case, but we VIII have to wait
a long time for Hughes version OF
1t, as the governor of New York
state Is not talking man.

Knives Are Tiny Saws,

Knives, ID matter how carefully sharpened, are little saws. The grind Ing away of the steel, done by the stone, is not an even work, but when the edge gets thin is Il process of tear ing away tiny bits of steel by the grit of the stone. This tearing makes the teeth. X fine stone makes fine teeth. d coarse stone coarse teeth X carving Knife used on meat k shaTpened on H coarse stone or ;l steel and has coarse teeth. although it's edge is thick. HS action ill parting the meat is more that of q saw than fine wedge. No matter how soft it may be it will not cut easily unless it is drawn over the meat and not simply pressed down. \ ra2o" however, with it's paperlke edge, viii cut into flesh with q simple prcstiirr. 1t is a wedge dividing the fibers of flesh just as wedge of iron divi;!t the fibers of the log it splits But q razor is a saw, too, only as it is ground on the finest stones and later finished With leather strap, its teeth are very fine indeed hundreds and hundreds to the inch of blade.-C.

Pronunciation of "1heatre,"

If "theatre" was originally written 'theater" in English, has it's pronunci, ation also varied among the orthodox that Is to say, was there ever Il time when correct speakers said "theayte"," as many of the incorrect still do? There Is DO direct evidence in verse of a serious kind for such pronunciation so far as we know. Shakespeare cer- tainly pronounced the word as we do now, says London journal But since "theayter" does really represent long "a of the original Greek and Latin l. is not easy to understand how the vul- gar could have blundered on to it of their own accord. It would have been more comprehensible if they had turned an orthodox "theayter" into "theater :" just as the second "a" in "Amasis' goes too often popularly shortened now The French language has had to mark the length of the "a" in theatre by giving 1t rather irregular circumf,rx accent

Origin cf Curtain Calls.

The first curtain call took place on tue evening of Feb 26, 145. On LAtt memorable evening Noltaire's "AIe- rope was performed for the first time in Paris. The author was known to the Paris public, but nothing that they had seen of his had pleased them 90 nucl. as "Merope," and the enthusiasm found expression in noisy demands to see the author. In q letter Noltaire says this of the incident: 'Thcy dragged me out and led me by force to the box occu- pied by the Duchcsse de Nil,ars and hef daughter-in- The whole thea. tar seemed to have gone mad-all shouted to the duchesse to kiss me. Tie noise became so great that t:lr lady finally obeyed. So WAS, l..;t Alain Chartier, publicly kissed. but la was asleep, while I was wide awake" Now authors answer similar calls by appearing before the curtain Thp;' gain in so far that they can he scnn better by their audience but they must dispense with the t!Eciesse's kiss least in public.-Be.liner Tageblatt.

Then. again. fellow will just trip over his own foot and. falling to the ground. break a leg or an arm. A good many will say it all depends on how one alights. but that seems to have absolutely nothing to do with 1t. as have seen man alight in q cer tain way from a high fall and never injure himself, and then again have seen second chap alight in the same identical way and break leg and an arm. ."-Columbus Dispatch.
