A pair OF little arms encircled him,
one little leg was thrown over him,

Lands, every odd character that the pres
ident had even hunted with, camped
with, or ridden with, was provided with
place. II any were missed it is be-
cause they did not apply for job.
In the matter OF messages to Congress,
no two men could be more widely diff
ferent. Roosevelt wrote them, appar-
emily, morning, noon and night. They
ran a perfect stream of words from the
White House to Capitol Hill, and were
upon every subject under the sun. Mat
rimony, art, war, science, simplified
spelling, In-God- We Trust on the coins,
the raising of babies and the raising of
diversified trouble, were all meat for the
something doing every minute president,
and he kept the world busy thinking and
talking about him for seven and a half
years. Presidential messages were the
longest on record as well as the most
numerous under the Roosevelt regime,
and if present indications may be taken
as a promise for the futura, those of the
present administration will be the short
est and most seldom. The only one That
has been sent to Congress- by Taft, thus
far, was that sent to the opening of the
present extraordinary session OF Con-
ness. 1t contained just $40 words.
Roosevelt 'butted" into every line of
human endeavor; Taft is not inclined
to worry with problems that do not con-
Germ him or his work.
Roosevelt gloried in fierce physical ax-
ercise, whether with the boxing gloves,
single sticks, horses, or tennis racquets;
Taft rides a little to keep down his flesh,
and plays an occasional game Of golf to
make his blood flow freely.
Roosevelt selected certain administra-
ton newspapers in which he put out
"feelers" to test the pulse of the coun-
try; Taft treats all newspaper men alike
and does not play favorites."
Roosevelt preached against race sui
eide" and praised the fathers and moth
ers of large families as the most desir-
able citizens; Taft believes that there
is something better than the mere nu-
merical propagation Of the race, and not
very long ago, emphasized his views by
pointing out the good that "od maidsh
may accomplish in the world.
But, after all, both are great, big,
able bodies, full booded virile Americans.
Each handles the problems before him
in his own way. Roosevelt made good
with the people; and Taft gives PROMISE
of doing likewise

A WARNING DREAM.
The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Times
In His Sleep.

The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Times
In His Sleep.
Napoleon believed deyoutly IN
dreams as warnings or even as fore.
casts Of what was to come. and even
he who most prides himself upon his
freedom from superstition knows Of
or has experienced at least one dream
that cannot be explained as a mere
result Of overlooking.
When we contemplate dreams and
their ramiRcations science can help US
but little in their explanation. wnkie
Collins showed this TO be so IN one of
his most ingenious novels, "Armadaie. .
Warning dreams or prenonitions may
be the result of natural laws which
we do not understand.
Lincoln was not counted supersti-
tious because he had some confidence
In the prophetic character OF one
dream, at least, for It visited his sleep
on several occasions. and he spoke of
1t seriously to members of bis family
and to hig closest friends. In telling
of this vision he said he seemed to be
In "a singular, indescribable vessel,
but always the same, moving with
great rapidity toward dark and In
definite shore"
The dream preceded several marked
incidents during his occupancy of the
presidential chair, notably before the
battles Of Antietan, Fredericksburg
and Gettysburg.
On the morning OF the memorable
18th Of April he informed members of
bis cabinet that be had dreamed this
same thing the night before and be-
lieved that they were on the threshold
of some momertous issue. SO Inn
pressive were his remarks that his
auditors were profou ily moved, but
no seer among them could read the
warning Alright ard foresee the awful
news of his assassination which should
be flashed that night to stunned and

Bishop DOane Would 0Stra-
CHE Those Who
REMARRY AFTER DIVORCE
Divorce Would Be Diseredited II Those
Who Gain Divorces Dishonesty
Were Unfeeognized-would
Then Be Questionable.

Albany, March 3l.--The Rt, Rev. VIII,
liam crosswell Doane, Episcopal bishop
OF Albany, whose ideas on divorce have
attracted widespread interest, made an
other attack upon the social aud domes-
tic evil In an address before the Albany
Mothers club Of the Young Women'i
Christian association yesterday.
II people marrying after divorce dis
honestly and dishonorably gained were
ostracized. and unrecognized in decent
society" declared the bishop, divorce
would be disoredited. II would become
Questionable, and the example set by
the people who are supposed TO be so
ciety would tell upon people who are
given to ape and initiate the manners
aud customs, and, alas, the morals OF
what are called the upper classes, when,
morally speaking, they are really the
lower classes Of society. The things that
need converting and controlling are pub.
lie opinion, personal influence and social
esteem.
NY own conviction is that, according
TO Code original institution Of marriage
and according to our Lords reafirmation
Of its principles, divorce, as meaning the
breaking Of the marriage bond in such
way as 10 make possible and remnrriage
is impossible 20 reconcile with Gods re.
vealed will To this, / believe, we must
bark back, not dwelling first or too much
either on the horror which facile divorce
produces or on the hardship Of mismated
but trying TO see and know
the truth, the principle, the meaning Of
the will of God"
He insisted national divorce law was
and impossible.

out, Roosevelt would invite half dozer
senator's OF congressman into his Office
and, in a loud tone Of voice, would dis
cuss the matter Of appointing this OF
that man TO this or that job. The states
men who had expected to buttonhole
the president in \ corner and pull OF
something on the quiet" were glad to
get through the conversation in jitfy
for every Othe man in the room was
sure to 90 out and tell about it. This
expedited things wonderfully, but 1t hurt
the dignity of the lawmakers. That's
one reason why so many senators and
representatives carried paving blocks in
their pockets for Mr. Roosevelt.
When President Taft makes an en-
gagement TO meet a senator or con-
gresham or any other person, he gives
him the time that his business seems
TO justify, and he does not invite a
crowd in to participate in the conference.
Neither does he jump up from his seat,
as President Roosevelt frequently did,
before the caller had more than half
finished explaining his mission and ex-
claim cordially, I'm so glad that you
called: be sure and come and see me
again" The Roosevelt hand would be
outstretched, as he spoke the words, and
the visitor would find his shoes on the
mat outside the door before he was able
to repeat his own name.
OF course, the Taft method has its
drawbacks 1t means more hard work,
more hours of work, for the president.
1t means that scores Of men who call
at the White House do not see the presi-
dent at all But those who do get in,
go away with a warmer regard for the
man at heart, and feel that he has, in
measure, assumed part of their bur-
dens. Even if he has not been able to
grant their requests, he has, at any rate,
assured them of his friendliness. In
this Mr.. Taft resembles the late Presi
dent Mckinley. He has, also, many Of
McKinley's maHnerisms, and, like the
martyred executive, will undoubtedly 60
down in history as a "plaeator'-a pres
ident who smoothed things with oil
rather than the axe
President Taft has announced that he
will abandon the referee" system in the
South. He will allow the congressman
and the senators some say-so in the ser
lection OF federal officials, even though
they be of the opposite political party.
Mr.. Roosevelt's appointments were made
upon the recommendation of small
coterie Of Southern Republicans, many
Of whom were not in good odor with the
best people of Dixie and whose selections
were often obnoxious to Southern senti-
ment.
Neither win President Taft make so
many personal appointments" as his
predecessor. 1t has been the custom for
more years than the oldest politician can
remember for the president Of the United
States occasionally to send nomination
to the Senate and request that it be
confirmed on personal grounds" Unhl
Mr.. Roosevelt's hand grasped the tiller,
these personal appointments were few
and far between, for few executives ever
abused the privilege But he handed in
so many Of this kind that senators and
made serious complaint.

The premier had made known his re-

had strongly entrenehed themselves in

Upon arriving at the square the depu-

they displayed in risking being trampled
under the feet Of the horses, their COM
bined rushes to reach an entrance were
abortive.
The police have been instructed to
avoid making arrests so far as possible,
but because Of the repeated and deter

found it impossible to stop them by any
other means Consequently they com

It was old John Browns SEVENTEEN
birthday. He had either quarreled
with or buried every one be loved and
outlived all his old friends. A negro
woman kept house for him-one Of
those "mammies" OF the south he had
brought with him soon otter the civil

She had nursed his children, and after
they had gone or to make homes for
themselves and his wife had died she
was all there was left Of those who
had made up his household.
On the morning OF the SEVENTEEN an
niversary of his birth Brown was sit
ting before a fire reading his morning
paper when the postman brought a
letter.

who was washing the breakfast dishes,

Washington, March 81 Although the
Taft administration is not yet a month
old, its startling contrasts to the Roose-
welt regime are already sticking out
like burrs on chestnut.
In everything that President Taft
does, whether in the line of work or
play, politics or religion, exercise OF brain
or exercise of body he is the absolute
antithesis of the man who is now on the
high seas bound for the Dark Continent.
The very trip Mr.. Roosevelt is taking
is typical OF the differences between the
two men. Not by the widest stretch
OF the imagination could anyone con
eeive of President Taft forsaking the
comforts Of civilization for an invasion
of the African jungle. Moreover, it is
doubtful if Mr.. Taft ever killed a living
creature knowingly; certainly he has not
hunted for many years, and If he in
dulged in squirrel shooting or muskrat
trapping in his younger days, bis oldest
friends have forgotten the fact
The Roosevelt household goods were
scarcely out Of the White House before
the attaches Of the establishment real
lied that the "old home isn't like it
used 10 be-" The blue coated police off
GERS at the front door OF the mansion
disappeared and two TALL chocolate coll
ored negro buffers with white shirt bos-
oms and grey vests Jok their places.
The white man at the door of the seere-
tary to the president also vanished to
make way for colored man The
stable housing the jumpers, PAGERS, and
gallopers provided for President Roose-
velts use was transformed into a gar
age, and two magnificent automobiles
replaced the carriages that had conveyed
the White House family from place to
place about the capital. President Roose-
welt never acquired liking for devil
wagons; President Taft fen in love with
them on the first whirl.
From the first day Of the administrs.
ton the manner of handing visitors at
the White House underwent a change
The strenuous gave way to the peaceful.
Roosevelt shot his handshakers through
al the rate Of fifty a minute. Taft,
when rushed, disposes Of twenty or TWEEN
ty-fiys. To hurry his business visitors
