His last book, east of the Sun and

interesting pieces of literature ever
read in my life. One of the deepest
and most thought awakening ever
saw. Jonas Lies wife died last fall,
and since that time he has wandered
like sad, lost child from one of his
children's home to another, never at
rest anywhere. as if he sought for
ThOmasine, the departed sweetheart

and modeler of the best he ever wrote.
The limited time and space allowed
me under our rules prevent me from
writing as fully as this subject de-

with the statement, that all the books
Jonas Lie ever wrote are inspired by
his faith in humanity and the good
powers of life. He always let the
good, the noble, the beautiful and fine
come thru every struggle victorious

guilty by Deputy Commissioner Hanson
of having taken to his heels when
woman threatened to put bullet thru

After careful study of the article
just read l have come to the conclu-
sion that it was fortunate for Fred
erick the Great that he was not under
the command of Deputy Commission
er Hanson of New York. If, instead
of q prince, he had been "One of the
finest" he surely would have lost his
badge and been kicked off the force,
sharing the hard fate of the policeman
who was dismissed from the force
last month for fleeing from woman
who threatened to put a bullet thru
him.
Frederick never would have received
second chance after his celebrated
funk at Molwitz: it would have been
all over with him when he fled from
that first battle. There was no door
for him to get behind, as there was
for the terror-stricken patrolman, and
SO he spurred his horse till he was
miles and miles from the frightful
scene, where he had abandoned his
army and sought safety in flight.
Late at night he was found covering
| IN an old mill and his humiliation was
only deepened when he learned that
his troops had stood their ground and
that he had fled from field of victory
Frederick, however, was king and
there was no one to strip him of his
badge: if he had been private soldier
he would have been shot in those
times. As it was, he lived to fight
another day and to glorify the whole
race of towards by his daring in many
a battle.
The history of the world would have
been different if every coward had
been cashiered for his first offense

Roosevelt Resourceful-- But Menace
From Judge Parkers Washington Speech.

The Republican party has the good
fortune to have az its leader man
who is also the president Of the Unit
ed States and the most accomplished
politicians of modern days. We read
in the newspapers that he Is prepar-
ing to abandon oyster Bay and jour
ney to Washington about the twenty
second of September, that he may
have his fingers upon the national
pulse for the benefit OF his party dur
ing the campaign. That is not to be
lost sight of as a serious menace. He
IL resourceful--none more 80.
I'VE have not forgotten that he was
able TO write letter or two TO one
Hartman In 1904. and in one Of the
letters he suggested TO Hartman that
he wanted him to come down, to
Washington and after tho campaign
was over he would like to consult him
about the railroad feature OF his mes
sage. We have not forgotten. either.
that he persuaded Hartman to come.
What their conversation was We will
never know, but as the result Of the
invitation TO look over the message

was used In the city OF New York dur
Ing the two or three days preceding
