rHE WORRY or ROOSEVELT.

IT HESE are days when the critics big and
\ little are hammering Roosevelt The pres
ident's opponents are having their revenge--or
they think they are. The President hurls mes
aages of all sorts and the critics fire back at him
usng even poems as their ammunition. Roose-
velt according to them is bad man.
Aye. the prophets of long ago told us in verse
that the time would come when a president
should arise who would want to be King and
hasn't that King got here in the person Of the
President with his awful teeth, his rough rider
hat and his big stick? Is he not, say the critics,
dominating over the eighty or so millions OF free
horn Americans whose fathers fought for liberty,

CHRISTMAS EVE
BY John N. Dorney.

A wintry eve, as l was walking
Depressed in heart, near icy river,
An aged man and / were talking
Ger woes that make the heartstrings
CULVER
He was gray and I was young;
He seemed peaceful in his way.
To me life's song had all been sung.
And life seemed hardly worth the fiay.
'There be times when life seems drcary,"
said 1 10 my gray-head friend.
"Of the struggle. 1 am weary;
Hope is gone. I crave the end"
A look Of pain passed DER his face.
He smoothed his hair, so thin and hoary,
Saying, Never falter in llfe's race;
Listenl Lad unto my story"
Dark a night in late December,
] am sitting lone and weary.
In the CRATE is dying ember.
Life to me seems very dreary.
For all tho dreams Of life's fair morning,
Long and patient did l wait;
Now at length l read the warning:
They are dead Like embers in yon
CRATE
Il did not build FOR earthly treasure;
1t was not in my hoyhoods plan.
NY hope was not IN worldly pleasure;
I learned twas folly in life's .hort span.
I did not seek for hish position;
Nor did crave for worldly fame:
For all of,these are mere transition
Passing on, from name to name.
But indeed had hope and dream.
And long and patient did I wait.
But life tonight has lost its sheen.
The night-winds whispered It is too
late
Listen how the winds are rolling:
Like spirit calls. they seem to me.
They seem to say Your life is falling
And then they whisper; Life's but a
dream.
'Yosl 7 had dreams. and they wer,
worthy:
I've dreamed them on the sea: the sod.
Useless now TO ask; What were theyY
But all my dreams are known to Godl
II has been said. that everv dream
And every hope, we thought was lost.
In future life regain their lost sheen,
When deaths dark river we hav,
crossed.
But What is that7 The bells are ringing
A chord OF music. they do weave;
And happy voices they are singing.
blessed be Godr 'Tis Christmas Eve.
All, now indeed 7 cease repining;
see the stable far away.
And as the Christmas bells are Ginning
Ny heart revives for Christmas Day.
TN human hearts hope SPRINGS eternal
NO truer words were ever said.
All your days. they can be vernal.
And hope go with you when you ar,
dead
Faith In Jesus, alwavs cherish;
Hope viii follow If you do:
And then. cen though your dreams d,
perish.
Peace will ever be with you.

In Very Bad Form.

New York Evening Sun.
At a meeting OF clergymen held in this
city yesterday a resolution was passed
commencing the German Emperor for his
published intention henceforth ITO abstain
from all intoxicating liquors as bever-
age and expressing a hope for his "ac-
tive future cooperation in combating the
tremendous forces Of evil embodied in the
liquor traffic" Arrangements were also
made for the transmission OF the same to
Potsdam. through the medium Of the
Ambassador at Washington. together with
tho assurances Of the distinguished con-
sideration of the resolvers.
All Of which is in very bad form seeing
that his Imperial Majesty is believed by
the majority of his subjects to be avoid
ing the application OF hot and rebelllous
liquors to his blood, not because he hates
the rum demon, but because he fears
champagne, and even beer as a stimulant
20 his natural talkativeness.
II Is surprising to find so intelligent
cultivated and kindly a body Of men as
those who made themselves responsible
for this expression Of opinion. interfering
so gratuitously IN the business Of other
people. Besides, they lay themselves open
to the risk Of having the Germans. who
like their drink I'm season, complain that It
would be well for us to look after the
bulls in our own china shop before we 60

Reforms are being mace in the State peniten-
tiary of Iowa. The superintendent appears to be
a live and progressive sort of man. Instead of the
present regime he proposes that taior-made suits,
polished Shoes and laundred shirts be supplied
the convicts-in other words he says that the con
victs should be treated as gentlemen and thereby
reformed No prisoner in his care is to be fog
eed or beaten, and no one is to be put in solitary
confinement Perhaps the fact that prominent
men are now and then finding their way into the
penitentiary accounts for the suggested changes
in prison life. Perhaps the superintendent
wants to make his prison the ST. Regis OF peni-

denied this.
Mr.. Hanna was in consultation yesterday with
Controller Ridgely and President William F. Have
meyer of the bank. but no official statement was
forthcoming Asked when disbursement was
likely to be made TO depositors Mr. Hanna's aconic
reply was: I'll have get some money in before
I can pay any out" One OF the officers said he
thought there would probably be initial dividend
in about month. 1t will probably take at least
TWO years TO wind up the banks affairs.
Ihere was much speculation as to the Ella ss or
securities which the receiver would find in the bank
as ii is known that the bank pledged all its gilt

those who owe the bank large sums are Charles w

is small doubt that the Morse and Heinze loans in
the bank are secured by such inferior collateral
Consolidated Steamship Company stock and bonds
and United Copper Company common and preferred

Another point of interest is just how much money
the various Morse companies the bank, and
also how substantial the deposits these companies
carried at the time the bank closed its doors 1t
reported in quarters that they were forss
warned and withdrew their deposits.
There Were negotiations foot several weeks ago
to merge the National Bank of North America and
the Consolidated National Bank, but these were
broken off by the latter institution. Only recently
