TELLS THEM A STORY.
Speech of the President to Louisian.
ians at Lake Providence.

Lake Providence, Oct. president
Roosevelt was introduced by Repre-
sentative Randsell for his Lake Prov
idence speech. The president said in
part:
"I have come down here because
realize that one of the greatest natural
advantages of the south is in the Mis-
sissippi river and the whole nation
must do it's part in improving the Mis-
sissippi
"I want to speak about one thing
that always impresses me and that
always talk about in travelling, since
have been president. 1 have gone
from one end of the country to the
other; from the gulf to the lakes and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I
have addressed countless gatherings
of my fellow citizens and the thing
that has impressed me most is the
fact that there is very little difference
between people of the various sec
tons. good man is a good man
wherever you find him. The best pro-
duct of any country is good citizen
ship. The mother and the father must
do their work at home and above all
the father must do his part. l think
that the most of your crop is babies.
1t is a good crop and am very glad
that it does not snow any signs or dy-
ing out"
Comparing the family and the gov
eminent, the president drew paral-
lei between the head of great coun-
try and the head of family. He said
that it was just as important duty
for a man to be a good head of fam
ily as for him to succeed in governing
a nation. If the heads of families are
good men, the president said, the gov
eminent will be good. If a man is
good father he will make good pub
lie officer, but merely because man
is thrifty and clever does not neces
sarily make him trusty in public life.
Continuing he said:
s'I want to tell you a little anecdote
of the old days when I lived out west
in the COW country. There were no
fences and every calf was branded
with the same brand that its mother
had. There used to be ranch law,
known as the maverick law, according
to which any calf overlooked in the
branding would be branded with the
brand of the ranch on which he was
found. 1 was once riding across the
country with one of my COW punchers,
when we found a stray calf on anoth-
er mans ranch. The COW puncher
wanted to brand it with the Roosevelt
brand. but I told him I would not
stand for it. The cow puncher said
Hold on, old man. I know my bust

brand
All right Z said, you go back to
camp and get your time
what are you doing that for 2 the
COW puncher asked.
Well / answered, If you will
steal Tor me, you will steal from me,
and that is good rule in public and
private life. If man. does something
unjust in your behalf he is only waiting
Tor an opportunity to do something
unjust toward you You want to
stand by the honest man.
Il want to thank you for this OPP
portun1ty to see you and I want to
thank you because / understand you
have said you are going to let me have
my holiday all to myself. The presi-
dency Is very busy position and TINS
is one of the few chances I have had
to get away from it, and I do want to
have these few weeks just as free as L
can. I hope to meet a bear, but even

lots of folks who have been working at
the comedy trade for 40 years.
Another good act is put on by La
Rose and Arlington in which the former
in the makeup of a Chinaman, does
some clever work, not the least of which
is his manipulation of Chinese musical
instrument out of which he gets real
tunes. And then there is Wells De
VeauX, the eccentric muSicalist, who
made such hit on the same stage when
the house was opened few weeks
since. De Veaux is just as funny and
clever as he was when first seen here.
He puts on an act that nobody could
tire of watching and hearing. To top off
the bill Miss Marjorie Mason sings a
good Illustrated song and fine series
of moving pictures are shown.
One of the best vaudeville shows
which has been seen in this city opened
for the week this afternoon ct the Ma
jeStic. There are four or five good acts
on the bill but the premier is probably
that which is put on by THE Alpine
Family of Four This troupe consists
of a man and three girls, one of them
youngster, as they put on an acrobatic
act on a double wire which has been
an unusual novelty in Europe during
past seasons. Other members of the bill
are Jeaneatte Adler and her Eickanin
MES in a singing, dancing and piano
act; the Trillers, in rag pictures; the
Three Westons, who are styled the
musical queens; Eleanor Batch, a So
prano solofst of much merit and Phil
w. and Bette Peters in a comedy
sketch.
While playing in Chicago Ralph
Stuart, the star of ''Strongheart," which
is to be seen at the Grand on Sunday
and Monday next, was reused from an
after-dinner snooze one day by a bell
boy who handed him a card on which
was written in a very excellent hand
Red Blanket, Jr.'' There being a de-
cidedly Indian suggestion in the name
Stuart Intercepted the bell boy and
was informed that while his suspicion
as to the nationality of the caller was
correct, he need have no fear, as the
Indian was dressed like white
man, talked good English and seemed
quite pedceable.
Stuart asked that the young man be
shown up and within a few minutes
learned that he was graduate of Car
isle college and son of the famous Red
Blanket, chief Of the Pillager tribe with
which the government had much trou-
BILE ten years ago in northern Mime
sofa. At the time of the uprising, due
to the attempt of the government to ar
rest a half dozen of the principal In
dams of the tribe on account of failure
to heed a summons to appear in the
United States courts at ST. Paul to tes-
tify in some timber stealing cases,
Major Wilkinson, one of the most pop
ular officers at FIT. Smelling, Mimi, and
eight of his men were slain.
A few years later Red Blanket, Jr.,'
was sent 10 Carlisle and his class record
proves him to be an exceptionally bright
scholar. MIR. Stuart was so favorably
impressed with the young man that he,
being in need of a valet offered the posi-
tion to the Indian. 1t was accepted on
the instant and commencing this week
Red Blanket Jr.,'' whom Mr.. Stuart
has recommended Ralph Ramsey
will look after the actors personal COM
fort and at his personal request be
given a place on the stage in the big
football scene.

Through a failure to include in the
city engineers estimate for the repay
ing of North Kansas avenue from the
Melan arch bridge to Gordon street
repair of the concrete foundation the
city at large will be compelled to pay
1854 for concrete work that ought
to have been assessed up against the
abutting property.
About 1874 square yards of con-
crete had to be. repaired when the
asphalt surface was removed. The
paving contractors charged the city at
the rate of $40 per square yard for
this repair work. There is no COM
plant made at the price charged but
of the fact that the repair work
should have been charged up against
the property owners, instead of
against the whole city. 1t is impossi-

1900 L. o. o. f. Delegates Get
No Excursion Tickets.

nual State Conventions.

Members Only.

State Officers.

Members of the Kansas Odd Fellows
and Rebekah lodges are beginning to

will be at least 1000 of these lodge
members in the city. The meetings OF
the grand lodge, grand encampment
and Rebekah assembly will be IN prog
ress until Thursday night. The Cope
land hotel is the general headquarters.
All the visitors are paying z-cents
per mile to come to Topeka. The
original plan was to give the delegates
a special rate somewhat less tnan z
cents a mile, but a few days ago, when
the railroads decided to grant the 2
cent rate, the excursion rate was can
celled, and all the delegates nave 10
pay regular fare.
The meetings of the Odd Fellows are
not of great public interest because
they are all secret. Business OF I'M
portance to the lodge is transacted at
these meetings, degrees are conferred,
and officers elected. The election or
the Odd Fellow officers is merely
ratification of a mail vote held during
the year, but the Rebekah assembly,
which is the women's branch of the
Odd Fellows, holds its election or ofh-
GERS on the floor of the convention.

AT THE THEATERS.

There's a show well worth seeing at
the Olympic this week. Just about ev-
cry person who saw it at the four per-
formances yesterday was heard to re-
mark that it was the best show which
has been on the boards of this house
since it opened some six weeks ago. And
statements like these mean something
for all the shows which have been at
the house have averaged more than well.
Perhaps the leading act on the bill is
that presented by team which is
known all over the land as the 1.-TWO

TOURISTS AS sMUGGLERs.
They Bring in Millions of Dollars in
Jewels Annually.

New York, Oct. THE Diamond
Importers association has been for
sometime trying to check smuggling
which has assumed colossal proper
lions, according to report made by
Ludwig Nissen. the chairman of it's
customs committee. Nearly all the
smuggling, according to the import
ers is being done by wealthy tourists,
because dealers regularly in the trade
do not dare to take the risks. Neck
laces of pearls, diamonds, rubies and
elneralds and hand wrought orna-
ments in exclusive designs are the
articles most common. The value of
jewelry smuggled each year is esti-
mated between 100000 and 3d.

MINISTERS STAMPEDE.
Low Salaries Causing an Exodus From
the PuIpits.

Chicago. Oct. 7.-Reports received by
the Tribune from ten of the Methodist
Episcopal Conferences in Illinois ana
neighboring states show that the ques-
ton of higher salary for the average
minister of that church has reached
crisis. The generally expressed opinion
is that religious work soon will surfer
for lack of preachers unless salaries are
raised. In many of the conferences just
held there was an exodus of preachers
from the pulpit to enter business life.
The higher salaries movement was dis
cussed and advocated at practically all
the conferences.
Salaries have been advanced about
500 each during the last four years, but
this increase-which has not kept pace
with the increase in cost of living-has
failed to stem the ministerial stampede
into business life. go 49,

Cough Cure is and has been for 20
years. The National Law now re-
quires that if any poisons enter into
a cough mixture, it must be printed
on the label or package.
For this reason mothers, and others,
should insist on having DR.. Shops

Shops labels and none in the medi.
cine, else it must by law be on the
label. And it's not only cafe, but it
is said to be by those that know it
best, truly remarkable cough
remedy. Take no chance, particularly
with your children. Insist on having

safe side by demanding DR.. Shops

FRANKFORT KENTUCKY. SATURDAY MARCH 30 1907

of Mr. w. j. Lewis, on Saturday,
when the clip, holding the shaft to
the axle, broke letting the shafts fall
on the legs of the young mare he was
driving. The frightened animal
dashed down the pike and the buggy
was dragged wabbling along behind it.
Mr.. Wood was thrown over the back
o. the buggy, landing on the back of
his head. The frightened horse ran
on, and, in a short time ran against
a telephone pole, stripping itself loose
from the buggy.
Mr.. Wood was bruised on his head
and rendered unconscious for about
half an hour, his left hip and right
arm, also, were bruised, but, luckily
no bones were broken.
When we saw him at Providence
Church, Sunday afternoon, he was all
right except feeling sore from his fall.
1t was a narrow escape, for had he
remained in the buggy fifteen feet
further, he would have been instantly
killed when the horse ran against the
telephone pole. The buggy was
smashed to pieces. The runaway
mare was caught by friends a short
while afterwards.
DR.. G. w. Montfort, who lives at
Woodlake, was soon on the ground
and made an examination showing
that Mr.. Wood was not seriously
hurt.
