Hotels and Food in Argentina.

There is an abundance of hotels and pensions in Buenos Ayres and, al- though some of these are exceedingly dear, good accommodations can be had for about the same prices as Tn larger American cities. While the food, in general. cannot be called bad. the heating facilities of the hotels are miserable. This is all the more to be lamented as the winter months. June to September are quite cold here. The so-called steam heat of the larger hotels, which. by the way, is in- stalled only in the corridors, Is noth- ing more than farce, and the small kerosene stoves which one may or der for his room against good extra pay are insufficient to counteract the cold drafts from doors and windows.

ROMANCE THAT YET IS REAL.
History Records Facts We Hesitate ts Set Down as Such.

A peasant girl called half.witted did promise to defeat the victors of Agin. court, and dfd 1t; It ought to be . legend but 1t happens to be fact. A poet and poetess did fall in love and eloped secretly to a sunny cline: it obviously three-volume novel, but 1t happened Nelson did die in the act Of winning the one battle that could change the world. It Is . grossly i'm. probable coincidence, but 1t is too late to alter It now. Napoleon did win the battle of Austerlitz: 1t is unnatur. al. but 1t Is not my fault. When the general who had surrendered . repub- hcan town returned saying easily: Y nave done everything" Robespierre did ask with an air of inquiry: "Are you dead?' When Robespierre coughed in his cold harangue. Garnier did say: The blood of Danton chokes you" Sranord did say of his own desertioa oi parliament: If de 1t may my life and death be set on . hill for all men 10 wonder at" Disraeli did say: The time will come when you shall hear me"
 The heroic Is fact, even when 1t is Tact of coincidence or of miracle; ana fact is thing which can be ad- '"'''ed without being explained.

 Judge O'Brien was delivering his decision in . will contest. The testator had gone to America, and nothing had been heard of him for many years. Hence he was supposed to be dead. and they were dividing up his estate according to the will he had left behind.
 Judge O'Brien. . very pompous man, read on aad on.

Gratitude In Hind.

From Times of India.
 We always like to hear the instruction of President Roosevelt, but feel at the same time that we should be grateful that political homilies are not considered fash ionable in England. In his latest effusion the president has tried as Solomon did. Ito give subtility to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion" but he generaiizes to such an extent that we fear he may be laughed at It is bad manners to comment on the physical ap- pearance even of a millionaire, and the president of the United States of Amer lea now publicly sets an example of bad manners. As to the foolish sons and the daughters who are foreign prncesses the president is surely oversevere. It is not only the sons of mllionaires who are fools and knaves, if, indeed, any of them are it as often happens, as the preacher at the White House knows, that a Mar GUS Aureius is succeeded by Commo- dus. Nor do we quite understand the taunt about the foreign princesses, of whom we had imagined America to be most proud. The price of the daughters of America Is far above rubies, and we do not see that they lower the standard of the foreign courts to which they are occasionally admitted. No doubt the president is in earnest, but he will not succeed where the king over Israel in Jerusalem failed.

Just Munchinq.

From the New York Press
 Any one who tells you that all men eat and drink by measure and with regular. ity in order to do their best work is a back-pedal simpleton. No two constitu- tions are the same, you know No two trees are the same. No two clover leaves are the same, out of all the hundreds of Quintillions that we see every year. And it Is this very unsameness that baffles the physician. The most prolific writer that ever lived-some say Anthony Trollope- never made two e's alike, nor two o's, nor two Is, nor any other two vowels con- sonants But slip all that. The point is: One of the great prose writers who works only when the spirit moves him has small table at his left hand laden with pretzels twigs, olives. chlpped beef, cigarettes and ale. As The writes he munches and sips It may be very little at a time, but he keeps at 1t all day, and never misses his : o'clock dinner roast, vegetables, entrees, relieves, etc. Instead of stuffing himself regularly like a sausage skin three times d day, he Is always feeding daintily like a squirrel in a hickory forest

NEGROES NOT SATISFIED

Jackson, Miss, June .-(Special.)- The white republicans of Jackson are, as a rule delighted with the course of events at Chicago. They had pinned their faith to MT. Taft and the admin istration forces at the beginning of the contest for the control of the national convention, and his nomination has given them great satisfaction. They are satisfied that if the republican party is again victorious next fall they will all be able to hold their seats at the desks of the offices they now occupy, and several of them are old hands at the business.
 However, the great majority of the negroes are dissatisfied. They do not think they were given fair deal at Oh icago, and some of them are pre- dieting a serious Reflection of the negro vote, not only in this section, but in those states where the negroes hold the balance of power. Many of them would be glad to see MT. Taft defeated just as a rebuke to the leaders of tho party they have been following blindly for so many years. They feel that they were badly treated and that it was with the full Knowledge and consent of MT. Taft and MT. Roosevelt. They had looked upon MT. Foraker as their pat ron saint ever since his determined fight In the Senate committee which in- vestigated the Brownsville affair, and they are sore over the treatment that was accorded him.

The democratic hosts who were in Jackson yesterday to name a delega- tion to Denver have all taken their departure for their homes. It is con- ceded on all sides that the convention was one of the most representative ever held in the state. It has left no sores, no injured feelings anywhere, and the democracy of Mississippi may be said to be closer together today than for several years. Fractional differ ences were buried when six delegates from the state-a at-1arge were selected to the national convention, and with no protest save from one partisan, and he being hissed off the floor of the con- vention hall. The platform is a sub stantial document, one on which all democrats can stand f1at-footed and vote the ticket without a twinge of conscience or making wry face.
