and President Roosevelt was governor of New York
 Among the military heroes who became presidents are, first, George Washington, who before he saw military service was a surveyor; General Jackson, who had a most checkered career When a boy he was apprenticed to a saddler, and later on he taught in an 'old-deld' school. He studied law and practced 1t long be- fore he saw military service.
 William Henry Harrison. "Old Tippe- canoe," entered Hampden-Si Sidney college to study medicine, but before he finished his course accounts of the Indian out rages on the frontier made him desire a military career, and so he enlisted in the army.
 From early manhood Zachary Taylor served in the army. But Gen. Ulysses Grant was the only president who was graduated from West Point. Before Grant received his appointment to West Point he worked in his fathers tannery and on the farm. The name given him at his birth was Hiram Ulysses, but he was always called by his middle name. Thomas Hamer, M. C., who gave him his appointment to the academy, think ing Ulysses was his first name, and that his middle name was probably that of his mothers family, Simpson, inserted In the official appointment the name of Ulysses S. Grant Cadet Grant notified the offi- cials at West Point of the error, but they did not feel authorized to correct It. ana so 1t became the name by which he was always known

From the Washington Post.
 There has been much variety in the occupations and business of former pres idents of the United States in their youth, but strange to say many of them as soon as they reached their majority have entered the legal profession. Out of 25 practiced law, and the present democra tic and republican nominees, Hon. William J. Bryan and Judge Taft, are members of the legal profession. But while MT. Bryan gave up the law to become d jour- nalist and lecturer, Judge Taft has prac- tced his profession as much as his va rious government appointments would allow.
 When a youth William Mckinley taught in the public schools, but on the breaking out of the civil war he enlisted and served with distinction until mustered out in 1865 Then he began studying law, and in 1867 was admitted to the Ohio bar, but he soon gave up his private practice to enter politics.
 President Garfield and Abraham Lin coin were regular jacks of all trades Garfield when very young wished to be a sailor, and he went to Cleveland to ship before the mast on board a lake schooner, but he found the life was not all his fancy painted It, so he compro missed matters by becoming a canal boy for four months After that experience he became a carpenter. and finally made money enough to go to college In the six years after his graduation from Williams college he became successfvely a college president, a state senator. major-gen- eral in the United States army, and rep resentative-elect to the United States ongress-a wonderful record in such a i short time. Lincoln as youth had va rious occupations. such as rail-splitter.

Canned Goods and Refriserators.

aNow you might imagine that canned goods are perfectly safe. That's where vou are dead wrong. If you give an order for tomatoes. for instance, the cook opens the can and pours out enough for your order. and puts the can back on the shelf. If the next man who wants to- n1atoes gets in the same day he is all right. But it Is as likely as not that the next order will come after that can has been opened for several days or week. Some few restaurant cooks empty the canned vegetables and soups into crooks; most of them do not. I suppose you know how dangerous it is to eat stuff that has been standing around in tin cans
 Meat boxes or refrigerators are often a sight for the gods I have seen boxes with half a dozen shelves that leaked badly. The cook would put in his raw meat on the top shelves and work in the liver, sausage, ham and bacon under heath. When the ice gets low the meat begins to drip. have seen cooks take out ham or bacon from the bottom shelf literally soaked with blood and grease. That doesn't bother the cook. He doesn't waste time trying to clean off the drip-

Garden Theatre is all too small to
hold the crowds that nightly flock
there to witness this marvellous play.
II there should still remain any
question as to whom belongs the
right to bring out this extraordinary
example Of dramative construction, Of
blended wit and paihos, OF keen satire
and cheerful comedy, 1t can be set
at rest by the following cablegram
which Col. savesc received from
Fercnc Mo!nar, while the battle was
at its height:

belief that the same material in
