easy for the women to do alone. It
is adapted somewhat after the fire

slipped on in the stall, the horse comes
out and backs into the shafts, which.

ceiling. This is lowered by weight and

intense nature wear upon the nerve of those who still have a vital faith in the teachings of the New Testament.
 IThe tendency of such beliigerency is to awaken it's kind in nations or in men against whom fierce talk is directed. The repose of a calm spirit. strong in the purpose to deal justly by all man kind. is an asset which nations and individuals need to cultivate. It will last longer. go farther and accomplish greater results than the spirit of the prize ring and the brute menace of cheap sporting circles. That it far better comports with the true genius Of this Republic needs no arguing. Let us as people keep the sanity which high average of intelligence ought to beget.
 Was 1t pr. Eliot who said that Theo- dore Roosevelt, in some things, had never grown up? When the President declared at Newport that "the Monroe doctrine was in danger of falling not merely into disuse. but into contempt until we began to build up, our navy" opened himself to sharp challenge for the obvious ignoring of facts and his- tory. When the Venezuelan message of President Cleveland put life and power into the Monroe doctrine com manding the attention and respect of the world, the United States had a navy calculated to receive only the contempt of the present occupant of the White House. No President has talked more about morality than Mir. Roosevelt, and no Executive the coun- try has had has been so disposed to underrate moral power as factor in international relations It Is this ele- ment which gave to Mir. Cievelands message the force that made the Mons roe doctrine a living thing, recognized and respected throughout the world.
