The Roosevelt Idea.

A writer in the London Times says that Theodore Roosevelt is the hero of every schoolboy in the United King dom. No other American except Lin coin has ever been looked up to by so
 many youths and young men as an inspiration and as a civic model as Mir. Roosevelt He has a genius for inspiring people to higher ideals, to cleaner methods. His life story is one of the greatest sermons that has been preached on the American continent since Lincoln was assassinated. Mir Roose- welt started out with the stern resolve that, let come what would, whether he succeeded or failed, whether he made friends or enemies, he would keep his record clean; he would not take chances with his good name, he would part with everything else first; he would never gamble with his reputa- ton. He has had numerous opportuni- ties to make great deal of money dur ing his public career, through graft and all sorts of dishonorable schemes, by allying himself with crooked. unscrupu- lous politicians, but even his worst enc iAiicS SdAi He'SA say OA HiAh IIat He lOOh from Albany or the White House dishonest dollar. He has always re- fused to be party to any political jobbery, any underhand business. He has always fought in the open, has kept the door of his heart wide open; he has kept no secrets from the Amer ican people. He has always preferred to lose any position he was seeking, if he must get smirched in getting 1t He would not touch an office or preferment unles 1t came to him clean, with no trace of jobbery on it.-Success Maga- zine.

ESKIMO SUPERIORITY.
,CC~SA-CCC~C

Vilhjalmar Stefansson, in writing of his thirteen months stay among the Eskimos, tells, in Harper's Magazine, of this great kindness to a guest who could not pay for his keep, a stranger whose purpose among them they did not know.
 In an Eskimo home have never heard an unpleasant word between a man and his wife, never seen a child punished nor an old person treated in- considerably. The household affairs are carried on in an orderly way, and the good behavior of the children is re marked by practically every traveller.
 In many things we are the superiors of the Eskimo; in a few we are his in- feriors. The moral value. of some of his superiority Is small. He can make better garments against cold than our tailors and furriers; he can thrive in barren wastes where New England CT would slarve. But of some of his superiority the moral value is great. He has developed individual equality farther than we, he is less selfish, more helpful to his fellows, kinder to his wife, gentler to his child. more re ticent about the faults of his nelghbor than any but the rarest and best of our race.
 When 1 tried to express thanks for their kindness in my fragmentary Es- kimo, they were more surprised than pleased.
 Do, then, in the white mans land, some starve and shiver while others eat much and are warmly cladT'
 To that question said, "No," al- though l knew l was lying. I was afraid the competitive system could not be explained to them satisfactorily neither was I, being the poorest among them, very anxious to try justifying

Concrete Structure mt PartIand, Me,
 Which Is Well Spoken Of.
 Cement Age describes a concrete bungalow at Portland, Me, in which the exterior of the house is of con crete panels. The concrete panels are but one inch in thickness, and besides being remarkably light, are strong enough to bear an immenSe weight. The panels are re-enforced with strips of steel wire, and in the tests applied to them they withstood the strain of three heavy men jumping up and down upon them and showed no sign of injury. They are ornamented on the outside with raised figures, scroll work, etc, from steel ceiling designs. The panels were modelled in wooden frames on base consisting of a strip of steel cell ing, by means of which the decorative design was transferred to the cement, giving the panels an attractive appear ance. The wooden frames were made of three-inch stuff and the exterior of the concrete panel comes flush with the wood, while the recess in the side which forms the interior affords two inches of air space over the entire length and width of the panel, the ce- ment concrete being one inch thick. This is accomplished by filling the forms partially with sawdust or other material before the cement concrete is poured in, then turning the form over so that the concrete can be pressed against the steel ceiling design of the mold. After sufficient water las been poured upon the composition to insure compactness and perfect settling in the mold, the sawdust filling is removed, the completed panel is left to dry and harden.

Candid md CnnonfcnI.

The following anecdote of Uncle Joe Cannon is told by A. E. Thomas in Success Magazine:
 In some ways he's an engaging old despot, is Uncle Joe, and occasionally his victims have to laugh, even while they agoniZe beneath his yoke. On one occasion an unusually large num- Der of Republicans happened to get hungry about the same time, while for some unknown reason the Democratic appetite did not require attention. Catching the Speaker mapping, the Democratic floor leader, perceiving that he had a majority, called up a bill and pushed it to a vote. The Speaker strung out the voting in all of the various ways that are known to him, but at the end of the second roll-caI the Democratic votes were still in the majority. Though the rules of the House expressly forbade such a thing, a third roll-call was ordered by the Speaker, proceeding which called out a red-hot protest from one of the Democratic leaders, who demanded to know the reason for the Speakers ex- traordinary action. The Speaker gen ially advised the protesting Democrat
 "The chair will inform the gentle man. said he. ''The chair is hoping that a few more Republicans will come fn."
 A gale of strictly non-partisan laugh ter swept over the House, and before it had entirely suosided enough Re publicans had been rounded up by the hurrying scouts to fulfill the Speakers wish so candidly expressed.

 Obianga gives expression to his sur prise in long, low whistle. It is quite evident to him that no ordinary per son could command such wages; and Ill tone of utmost compliance he says What was 1t you told me to do. Ma kuba? I forget"

AN OVERWHELMING SALARY
-+-s-s-s-ssss-s-s-s-s-l-,.

Makuba and Obianga were two Afri- cans, the one the captain of a boat crew and the other subordinate to him. ODlanga was an independent fellow, not in the least lazy, who rather re sented "bossing." In q book entitled ''The Jungle Folk of Africa" k. H. Milligan tells of an altercation be- tween the two men. Makuba, the dip lomatic, came out of it with flying col ors.
 The worst disputes between Makuba and Obianga took place when they sup posed that I was asleep. The native, when he lies down anywhere, sleeps immediately. Whenever I was lying in the bottom of the boat they always thought I was unconscious, and that no conceivable noise could waken me.
 Captain Makuba orders Obianga ts haul away on the peak halyards;7 to which Obianga promptly replies:
 ''Do 1t yourself"
 ''I won't do it; you will do it." saw Makuba, in a threatening tone:
 Are you my father?" says Obianga.

 "Then stop giving me orders!" says Obianga. with rising wrath. Tt is not the first time you have tried 1t, and one of these days you will find out that it won't do."
 "One of these days you will find out that am captain of this boat, and that you will have to obey me-" says Makuba.
 Not as long as can carry a gun," answers Obianga.
 By this time they are standing up and looking hard at each other. But Makuba would not think of striking man in a mission boat. He therefore becomes diplomatic. Suddenly, in tone altogether different, he says:
 "Obianga, the trouble with you Is that you are just bushman; you don't know anything about civilization. On every big ocean steamer there Is a captain, and every man on board, no matter what tribe he belongs to, obeys the captain"
 Obianga becomes instantly curious, and asks: "Is he rich?"
 ''Yes," says Makuba, 'he gets big pay, and so do get big pay"
 How much do you get, Makuba?"
 How much do you thinkT"
 Obianga thinks, as well as he knows how, his countenance distorted with the effort, and at length answers re- hectively: 1.-Two dollars a month" He himself gets a dollar and half

Lost in a Moving Dog.

A peculiar catastrophe in the shape or a moving bog recently occurred in Galway.
 No one who has not visited the scene can have any idea of its horror and misery. The district is at all times subject to floods, but when these floods are accompanied by tons upon tons of moving bog travelling at the rate of about five miles an hour the conse- quences cannot fail to be terrible and disastrous beyond all conception.
 Unlike most of the former bog slides, there were in the present in stance absolutely no premonitory signs of the dreadful upheaval, the recent heavy rains being generally regarded as the cause of the calamity. No one seems to have seen the actual bursting of the bounds within which the peat had been confined, the first intimation of what was happening being the strange and alarming sounds which reused the farmer Martin from sleep. only to find his cottage partially sur rounded by the oncoming torrent of water and peat.
 He succeeded in warning most of his neighbors, with the exception of one poor old widow, whose cottage was al- most instantly swallowed up. Merci- fully no other lives have been lost, but many families have been left homeless and destitute

A CAREFUL MAN.
When It Came to Money He Had ts
 Put on the Brakes.


 The passengers in an accommodation train which was winding its way through New Hampshire were inter- ested and amused by an elderly couple who sat in the middle of the car.
 They talked as if there were no one else in the car. Therefore, having heard most of their private plans, no one was surprised to have the old man take the assembled company fully into his confidence. At one station he rose and addressed the passengers in gen. eral.
 "Can anybody change a ive-dollar bill for two twos and a one or five onesT he inquired.
 q can," said a brisk woman, and the transfer was quickly made.
 "Now, could anybody change this one-dollar bill for four quarters or or tens and fves? asked the old man.
 q can give you two fifties," said a man from the rear seat. unless some body else can do better.''
 It appeared that nobody could or at least nobody offered, so as the train started the old man lurched down the car to the possessor of the two fifty cent pieces.
 Thank you," he said, as he took the money. "I'm obliged, though I'd have liked the quarters best You see, Marthy has set her mind to stop of at Nashuy whilst go on up to my broth CTS with the eggs and truck. And, though she don't plan nor mean to be a spendthrifty woman, when she's let loose amongst lot of stores she'll run through 50 cents in an hour easy, and I kind of have to put a curb on her."
