Helps Support the Government and
Says So When He Is Arrested.
Many a time" said a policeman in
the southern part of the city, when
arresting men, especially intoxicated
men, have ''een told by my prisoner
that he was taxpayer and that he
helped pay my wages. -,..
Il always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely drunken incidence and
never paid much attention to- it until
about a year ago, when bought a
house and lot and became myself a
taxpayer had always rented before
and never gave thought TO taxes,
but as soon as II moved into my own
house began to appreciate the feel
ings OF men who resented arrest be-
cause they paid taxes. 5'ts. NV
There is certainly a considerable
addition to the dignity of tho man
who helps support the government.
He feels q degree Of responsibility
that renter or roomer never under-
stands, and my idea is that every man
in the country ought to- become a
taxpayer as soon ais he can, ard the
mere fact that he does salp SUPPORT
the government and bears his STARE
OF the expense makes him a better
citizen. Habitual criminals are rare
" taxpayers. They know ..lsy may
have to run any day and perhaps
never come back, SO they do not buy
real estate, but are roonSrs and

MRS. ROOSEVELT GLAD
TOQUIT WHITE HOUSE

Washington Herald: 1t is doubtful
If the wife of any president ever
left the White House with as lit
tie regret as Mrs. Roosevelt will
leave it. Her duties have not been
either unpleasant or irksome, and
she has had keen pleasure in some
of the privileges that have come to
her as 5tthe first lady in the land"
but since the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley advanced her hus-
band to the chief position she has
had sword Of Damocles hanging
over her in the possibility that her
husband might meet the same fate.
She is, too, essentially a domestic
woman; her home life, the society
OF her husband and her children
have always been very dear to her,
and since she became mistress OF
the White House she has had to
make many sacrifices in this direc-
ton; nor has she been able to in
dulge her literary taste. To meet
the onerous duties Of every day is
all that is possible for the wife of a
president, and what seclusion she
enjoys must be sought in her noun
tain home or on the yacht that car
ries her away from the exactions OF
her position. ~ ... In . E.
But there are many things, which
when she turns her back upon Wash
ington, Mrs. Roosevelt will leave
with regret, not the least of which
is the rare and beautiful collection
of orchids that the gardner of the
public grounds, knowing her pen
chant for these floral curiosities
has collected and grown for her en-
| joyment. The collection has beer
enriched by presents from all owe
the world, notably from the Philip
pines, where they grow in grea
| beauty and profusion. Among tn
| varieties that have been sent from
there by The army and navy officer
who have Mrs. Roosevelt's pet fa
in mind, are several of the Phalae
nopsis, that named for the poet
Schiller, who discovered it, being tn
best known and most popular. 1t
common name is schiller's moth OF
child, which is exquisite In shape an
colored a clear, deep pink. with mot
tied leaves Of tight and dark green
Mrs. Roosevelt will, Of course, tax
specimens Of as many orchids as sh
can accommodate in her garden a
Oyster Bay, but there are fe,
such ideal places for their growt
and development as the spot M,
Brown has chosen near the. mon,
ment.
